The Nevada fiercely fired at the two Japanese battleships in the distance to disperse the opponent's firepower. This time, the distance between the two sides was still a bit too close. A 14-inch shell pulled off a armor plate weighing several tons from the Tosa, while the other shell stuck the Tosa's No. 3 turret mount! The dense melee firepower left both sides scarred in the first round!

As time went by, the Americans began to gradually get back to their disadvantages. The first one to be put on the battlefield was the large-scale destroyer team of Americans. They rushed towards the Japanese battleship with a large number of torpedoes at a speed of more than 33 knots, and then the entire American main fleet poured their anger on the Japanese battleship like a giant dragon stabbed in the scale!

"Go away quickly, we will do our best!" The Takao, who realized that the situation was not good, sent a signal to the Tosa behind and was preparing to turn and escape. Before evacuation, the Takao and Tosa fired another two rounds of volleys at the target!

Boom! A terrifying explosion sound came from the bow of the battleship of the USS Texas again, but this time it seemed a little more dull than the hit of the naval gun. Then, both the Japanese and Americans saw a surprising scene. The USS Texas pierced into the water like a long sword! A large amount of sea water rushed directly along the deck to Turret No. 2! It was not an ammunition depot explosion, but judging from the current first tilt, the warship should be helpless!

"What did we do?" The captain of the Gaobo was a little confused.

"I don't know, this guy is dead anyway!" A Japanese officer next to him said comfortably, and then, the two Japanese fast battleships that had successfully assassinated opened the smoke again and fled far away in the terrifying artillery fire and scattered torpedoes of the US fleet. At this time, the Japanese fleet, which had already earned some, had no intention of staying anymore. They began to evacuate eastward at full speed. The overall fleet was still sailing at a high speed of more than 24 knots. No one in this world can stop them from going home!

"Oh, the last blow of the Japanese was so fierce." Radell said, who received the battle report. After roughly gesturing on the drawing board, Radell understood the whole process. The Japanese fleet evacuated and the American fleet pursued. Then the two Japanese battleships quickly turned and killed a resurgent. They sailed against each other, with a relative speed of more than 35 knots. Therefore, the distance of about 15 kilometers was quickly narrowed. Before the Americans reacted, the Japanese fleet launched an attack and succeeded in one blow!

According to information, the fundamental reason why Texas failed to escape at the last moment was that the high-pressure gas cylinder in the torpedo compartment in the front of the bow was detonated! Then the violent explosion completely destroyed the Texas bow, which led to the out of control of the water inlet! (The same reason why the Lucoff sinked in history.)

"Haha, I told the Americans a long time ago that you should not put torpedoes on battleships. You can't use them, and you can't even put them in armor boxes. It's a completely hidden danger." Su Xiong sneered. (In fact, it's not just a battleship, but a heavy cruiser is also quite dangerous to install torpedoes. You can see how the Japanese heavy cruiser sinks in the second battle in history.)

"Okay, get ready, we may have to go through another war." Raidel said. There is no doubt that after the war with the Japanese Navy, the US Navy, the Army and the German fleet must have a meeting together, and then divide the responsibilities of both sides. A fierce dispute is inevitable! Some of them are destined to leave the Navy due to mistakes or other reasons.

Su Xiong was relaxed, after all, in this naval battle, the German Navy was definitely dedicated. Half of the credit of the ships that escaped from the American transport fleet should be attributed to the efforts of the German fleet. He was not afraid of any accusations. If some people wanted to pour sewage, they would face his resolute counterattack.

Benson, who was on the New Mexico at this time, was definitely the most unpleasant person in this battle. Because of his wrong command, the main American fleet was taken away, which led to the disaster tonight. And because he was determined to fight the Japanese fleet to the death, the Japanese did give him this opportunity, but it directly led to the loss of a precious super fearless ship! Anything he wanted to do tonight was counterproductive. Even the most confident person would fall into deep suspicion and regret. Is he really suitable to continue to hold this position?

"Okay, everyone, it is my life's glory and luck to be able to work with you. The disaster that happened tonight has nothing to do with you, it is my fault alone. Maybe the time I served as the commander of the fleet can be calculated in minutes. But I hope that in the last course of my military career, you can do it with me." Benson calmed down and said. At this time, Benson was already a little disappointed.

"Mr. Commander, I have sent destroyers to rescue the fallen waters in this area. At the same time, our destroyers will continue to track the Japanese fleet until they have confirmed that they have no intention of attacking." Sims said: "Just just now, General Pershing sent a telegram, saying that he had something important to talk to us, and his words were very dissatisfied. We also need to prepare for the battle report tonight. Even the entire battle plan that was formulated before would be changed."

Sims' words were already very tactful. Pershing's telegram words were not just dissatisfaction. Part-time jobs can be described as furious. As for the previous battle plan, the modifications were all light. Now that so many materials and personnel have been lost, it takes a considerable time to re-mobilize ships and personnel. In this case, it is possible to give up the entire battle! After all, although the United States' industry is strong, it is almost impossible to make up for such a huge loss in a hurry!

"Have General Su Xiong contacted?" Benson asked.

"I've already contacted it, General Su Xiong said that he will arrive at our flagship soon." Majifen said: "In addition, I want to make it clear that General Su Xiong is the one who should be blamed for this night's naval battle. Maybe his approach is flawed. But judging from the results, he has done his best."

"This is not just a military issue, but more importantly, a political issue. We and the Germans are allies. This is the premise for our victory in the Pacific War." Sims' words made everyone feel a little uncomfortable, but they cannot be refuted!
