So, Fletcher escaped another disaster. In just over twenty minutes, another armored cruiser was sunk. Another armored cruiser rushed to avoid the sinking of the war. Until now, only Fletcher's period was still in a certain combat power. Just when Fletcher struggled to make himself live one more minute, three terrifying Fuso-class battleships actually let them go and immediately drove at high speed in the northeast direction!

"We obviously found some face tonight, although this face was helped by the Germans." After learning everything, Old Fletcher sighed and felt a little relieved. He was not afraid of sacrifice, but he was afraid that his sacrifice would not prevent the tragedy from happening. He was worried that he could not change anything even if he tried his best. But now, it seems that things are gradually getting better?

"We're in trouble." Looking at the four Fuso-class battleships that were angrily rushing towards him, Raidel said helplessly to Su Xiong. To be honest, it was already the limit of Su Xiong's fleet to use sneak attacks just now. The German fleet used 2V1 to attack and used sneak attacks to take advantage of the precious time when the Japanese did not release smoke. With some luck, they successfully lost their opponents in seconds. But next time, when the King Kong hid in the smoke it released, when the four Fuso-class battleships were put into the battlefield, the German fleet could do it just to delay time!

Really, until now, the Japanese fleet is in good condition. In a brief 10V4 battle, the Fusang and Yamashiro suffered some damage. Although the four Fusang-class battleships behind were shot, they had no major impact. Even though they gained advantages by using maneuver and tactics, the three Bavarian-class battleships in front of the Suxiong fleet were also very uncomfortable when they were fired by five Fusang-class firefighters. Water in the cabin, damage to artillery and damage to some secondary protection areas greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of the Bavarians.

Next, if four Fusang-class battleships are targeted, the situation will be a bit bad! Although it is difficult for the Japanese to sink their shells, it is impossible for the Suxiong fleet to take other actions, unless they escape! Because even if you want tactics, you need the cooperation of destroyers. But now, Suxiong's remaining destroyers are even struggling to defend against the opponent's lightning strike!

"Just hold on for a while, bear with it." Looking at the Japanese fleet in the distance, Su Xiong felt very troubled. Now there seems to be no other way except to fight to the death. At this time, a worse news made Su Xiong feel cold!

"General, we don't have many armor-piercing bombs." An officer said. As Stedi expected, after a series of battles, the Suxiong fleet's shell reserves must be insufficient. Although the Japanese fleet took longer than the German fleet, don't forget that the maximum firing rate of the German fleet is 2.5 to 3 rounds per minute! The Japanese fleet's firing rate is around 1.5 rounds! How much is this difference? Without such a high firing rate, how can the Suxiong fleet successfully escape from the previous encounter? And then the Japanese army used high explosive bombs when dealing with transport ships. So until now, the Japanese army's armor-piercing bombs reserves have more than Suxiong's!

"Use half-armor piercing bombs." Su Xiong said hesitantly. Both sides would not get too close. The Japanese were worried that the Germans' 15-inch gun could penetrate their armor, while the Germans were worried that the Japanese destroyers would be afraid that everyone would maintain a long distance. In this case, neither of their armor-piercing bombs could penetrate the other's core area. Since that's the case, then use half-armor piercing bombs to attack the secondary area. Fortunately, the charge of the semi-armor piercing bombs is still larger!

"Let's use half-armor-piercing bombs, our armor-piercing bombs need to be left to the American fleet that may appear!" Su Xiong unexpectedly, in the battle between the two sides of the king against the king, the Japanese fleet also chose to use half-armor-piercing bombs instead of armor-piercing bombs. So, both sides tacitly opened a certain distance and then attacked each other with half-armor-piercing bombs. As for the battlecruiser of the King Kong, he naturally immediately left the battlefield and drove towards the fleet commanded by Suzuki Kantaro. This battlefield no longer needs this little weak chicken, so let's continue to fight the transport ship with Suzuki Kantaro!

"Send a newspaper to Benson, just say that the whole world wants to know where you are now?" Su Xiong was really tired. He thought that when he was running alone in the Indian Ocean or participating in the Norwegian Sea Battle, he was so tired! Even when he was facing Thomas's siege, Su Xiong was not so tired. After all, he could run away at that time, but now he couldn't run away. He could only wait until Benson arrived, or when he used up all his ammunition and had to retreat!

"To be honest, we need larger caliber artillery, and the 15-inch cannon is no longer enough." Su Xiong looked at An An sitting in his chair, feeling the vibration of the hull every time he fired. Now, the three Bavarian-class battleships are interested in reducing their firing rate, and the fleet maneuvering more frequently. If this is a football match, then for the Germans, they are trying hard to defend and delay, and wait until the game is over! They will not escape, but at the same time they will not let the Japanese fleet leave the battlefield.

"I think, should we give Benson a suggestion? Today's battle will be like this?" Raidel suddenly said.

"From a military perspective, today's battle is a result that everyone can accept, but from a political perspective, we cannot persuade the Americans to give up revenge." Su Xiong said after thinking about it.

In fact, although Benson's fleet has not suffered any losses in the current situation, some warships have already left the battle sequence due to long-term navigation problems, such as those dreadnoughts. In fact, Su Xiong estimates that there are about 10 American battleships that can reach the battlefield. Theoretically, with the Su Xiong fleet, the US and German fleets have a numerical advantage again, but don't forget that the Su Xiong fleet's ammunition is already seriously insufficient, and now it is in a state of counting meters into a pot. Conservatively, it will take an hour for the US fleet to arrive. Even if it is calculated by one round of salvos per minute, it is estimated that the Su Xiong fleet will even have all the high-explosive bombs after the US fleet is in place. After the main gun is used up, the Japanese fleet will ignore you!

By then, it was actually no longer important whether the Suxiong fleet was present. If there was no restraint of the Suxiong fleet, then the Japanese would leave as long as they wanted, or even fight hard, it would not be a vain American fleet!
