With severe damages one after another, the Ibuki Huo rapid battleship made a terrifying sound. Amid Suzuki Kantaro's crazy roar, the Japanese quickly opened the Tsubaki Valve, which suddenly increased the warship by hundreds of tons of sea water!

"Hold out the signal, the Ibuki horn was severely damaged. We need to temporarily withdraw from the battle line!" Then, regardless of the flagship's order, the Ibuki horn escaped from the battle line! However, at this time, Suzuki Kantaro forgot something. Its Ibuki horn battle line is the flagship of the Second Battleship Detachment! After suddenly being hit hard, he hurriedly withdrew from the battle line to save himself, but did not hand over the command! And what's better is that as the commander of the fleet, Shigetaro Yoshimatsu, also temporarily lost the command of the fleet, so the remaining eight Japanese fast battleships still on the battlefield fell into a state of blind fighting!

At this time, Su Xiong seized the opportunity and immediately turned 2 prayer points in the opposite direction! This range deviation has exceeded the limit of fire control calibration of all battleships. Whether it is a German battleship or a Japanese battleship, they all need to re-calibrate the shooting, and then repeat the shooting process again!

"Oh." Betty sighed, then looked at Major General Stedy, who was also helpless next to him. Although, on the strategic level, the Japanese fleet had an advantage in both planning and luck and successfully captured Su Xiong's fleet, but at the tactical level of the subsequent combat stage, the Japanese fleet's shortcomings in combat experience and technical and tactical levels were fully demonstrated. It is not that Japan is not excellent, but it is just that it is far inferior to the Germans!

I won’t talk about artillery techniques. The Germans obviously have the advantage in the hit rate of both sides. The Japanese hit a little more shots, but the number of artillery was more than 1 times higher. So, this was a bit embarrassing. Then, facing the tactical maneuver of the German Navy, the Japanese fleet responded very unfavorably. Although Betty did not know Su Xiong’s order, he knew that when Su Xiong turned for the first time, his angle must be within the scope allowed by German fire control. In other words, the steering did not have much impact on fire control.

The Japanese fire control is a little worse, and all fire control steps must be repeated again, and there is nothing to do. After all, if it comes to fire control performance, Germany is the peak of this era! The German image rangefinder plus the American data processing system has reached its peak in viewing and information processing at the same time. Not to mention the Japanese who studied under the British, even the British Royal Navy itself was not good! The poor astronomical rangefinder plus the not-so-best data processing system made the British a little worse than the Germans in hardware. This is also impossible.

Therefore, during the battle, the Japanese firepower was not very good. It seemed that many shells were fired, but the hit was touching. Although the Suxiong fleet concentrated its firepower to shoot the Fusang, it did not destroy the warship, but it successfully interfered with the command of the Japanese warship. In addition, the chaos in fire control further reduced the attack efficiency of the Japanese fleet.

The most terrible thing is that at the critical moment, the Japanese fleet, which had an absolute advantage in quantity, made a big fuss in the performance of a single ship! The Ibuki battleship of the Second Battleship Squadron was temporarily removed from the battleship by Weimar at a critical moment! This matter is a bit troublesome. It is not that the battle was too fatal, but it caused a great shock to the Japanese fleet's fighting will!

Think about it, the warship that was still absent a few seconds ago was beaten to death in an instant, and the flames and smoke even covered the entire front deck. What do you think of the warship behind? And this is the flagship, and the flagship has not yet handed over the command when it evacuated!

Although Shigetaro Yoshimatsu didn't say anything, Betty had already keenly felt that Shigetaro Yoshimatsu's fighting will was no longer so firm. He obviously wanted to retreat because the cost of fighting the German fleet to the death was a bit high! So in the last short period before restoring the fleet's command, Su Xiong seized the last precious breathing time. While maneuvering at high speed, he aimed the naval gun at the rushing Japanese destroyer!

Su Xiong had no intention of doing anything about Fusang in the sprint just now, because the opponent was definitely not a weak player. Although he could not be the best in the world, he was very balanced and had no weaknesses. It was almost impossible for such a warship to be killed in seconds. Therefore, Su Xiong had only one purpose, which was to disrupt the Japanese army's battle. At the same time, he took the time to kill some of the destroyers that rushed up!

That's right, you're right. One of the goals of this operation is to kill some destroyers! Su Xiong knew very well that if the battleships and destroyers of the Japanese fleet attacked at the same time, it would be difficult for Su Xiong's fleet to evacuate! Naval guns fired at a long distance, and the destroyers kept threatening and oppressing the course and speed of the Su Xiong's fleet. Moreover, because of the destroyer, Su Xiong did not dare to release smoke easily. After all, the smoke also blocked his vision. If the destroyer touched it and hit a torpedo, it would be dangerous!

Facing several Japanese destroyers who followed him, Su Xiong smiled and watched the 15-inch main guns of the three German battleships aimed at the Japanese destroyers that rushed over like a moth to the fire! So, 15-inch, 150MM and 88MM artillery of various caliber formed three almost airtight fire blockade lines from far to near! The first Japanese destroyer was hit by a 15-inch shell shot from 5,000 meters away!

The shell weighing more than 870 kilograms was like smashing watermelons with an iron hammer. The Japanese destroyer with a displacement of 1,200 tons was blown into pieces! Hundreds of tons of debris were thrown into the air, like a huge firework on the sea. The Japanese destroyer next to him tried to dodge, but hit the muzzle of another German battleship. The 150MM sub-cannon group, like a shark's teeth, tilted wildly with firepower. In just a few minutes, the shells of more than two digits were shot on the poor warship. The entire deck was covered by gunpowder and flames. The turbine had already stopped and eventually drifted with the waves on the sea like a dead fish.

Afterwards, two more Japanese destroyers were destroyed by fierce artillery fire. Afterwards, the remaining destroyers hurriedly used all torpedoes from a long distance, they quickly moved away under the German artillery fire. About half an hour had passed since the battle. After the Japanese threw away more than 6 destroyers, the first wave of lightning strike was repelled! After the command of the Japanese main fleet was in chaos and the attack of the lightning strike troops failed, the German fleet gained valuable breathing time.
