In the end, Colonel Kim chose to believe in Redell because he was the commander with the highest level and richest practical experience in the entire fleet. Because at this time, only Redell proposed a reasonable idea of ​​breaking the deadlock for him, Colonel Kim decided to believe in this naval general from the other side of the ocean!

However, it was already a little late for Tosa's dodge or the support provided by Fuso. This time, luck stood on Redel's side. When the smoke was about to cover the huge hull of Tosa, a 15-inch armor-piercing projectile accurately hit the No. 1 turret turret mount of Tosa's!

A bright yellow flame soared into the sky, and the shells pierced the defense and ignited the ammunition in the dressing room. Although there was not much ammunition from Tosa at this time, although the two fire doors limited the fire to the area between the turret and the ammunition depot and reduced the damage to the minimum, the attack was still fatal, just like a giant beast's sharp claws cutting a deep scar on the opponent's chest, which not only made the opponent weaker, but also the bright firelight also wanted blood, leaving the hunter with a way to track it!

Even if it was shrouded in smoke, whether it was Mecklenburg or Arizona, they could rely on flames to determine the position of this Japanese battleship! The same is true for destroyers! The Tosa cannot escape! However, the so-called blessings are not bad, and the misfortune does not go alone. Just as the Tosa struggled to get rid of the opponent's attack, Arizona also scored a hit, and this was the only sure breakdown record for the Fuso-class main armor belt obtained by the US 14-inch l45 naval gun in this battle!

At a distance of 8,700 meters, a 14-inch shell weighing 635kg pierced into the middle of the Tosa hull. With a sound of tooth-sourcing metal shattering, the 14-inch shell successfully penetrated the Tosa 320mm inclined armor, and then went all the way down to a secondary artillery ammunition compartment!

Boom! A huge explosion sound came from the sea again. This loud noise attracted everyone's target. A bright ball of fire shone on the huge body of the Tosa. This violent explosion made the Japanese feel numb. They really didn't expect that the Fuso-class battleship would actually be penetrated into the core compartment, and this was undoubtedly a shot of a heart-warming agent for the Americans! It allowed them to see hope for life!

If this attack was half an hour ago, then this shell would have killed Tosa. Unfortunately, the Tosa ammunition depot that has been fighting to the present time has basically been cleared. Although the remaining ammunition explosion turned half of the secondary artillery corridor into a sea of ​​fire, it did not eventually sink the warship. However, the doomsday of Tosa has also come. The US destroyer team that killed the Ibuki battleship is running towards this already stormy giant ship, preparing to harvest this precious head!

In order to protect this precious warship, the Japanese destroyer fleet also fought. The Japanese destroyer team, which had been disbanded in the previous battle, held the last assembly of this battle! Nearly 30 destroyers before the war, were fighting to the point where they were still on the battlefield. However, this time, the Japanese fleet concentrated 4 ships! And they were facing 12 destroyers from the entire US Navy's rear-end destroyer team!

Then a one-sided massacre was staged on the battlefield, which was also the most convenient division field for the US Navy to fight in this battle! Four destroyers led ships and eight destroyers crushed them like road rollers, and the four destroyers carried out their final resistance for the glory of the Japanese Navy!

"Release smoke, release smoke quickly!" The fierce shelling was suppressed from the beginning, and the Japanese Navy could not raise its head. The rain-like shells fell on the deck of the destroyer, blowing the facilities and personnel on it into pieces. The flames and gun smoke covered the warships, emitting the breath of death. The Japanese tried their best to fight and resist. They released the smoke and avoided them. However, all this was futile. Except for the two destroyers that were evacuated at the earliest, they successfully turned in with bullet holes, the remaining two destroyers were sunk by torpedoes, and the other was sunk by dense shells. Although an American destroyer was also sunk by a blind cat hit by a dead mouse. However, the United States said it was okay!

"When facing the last Japanese destroyer, we can only see the masts or bridges that are occasionally exposed, but it doesn't matter, we don't care. While we charged at Tosa, we attacked wildly with side stringed artillery. When the smoke dissipated, there was no shadow of the Japanese destroyer on the sea surface. We did not hear the violent explosion. We probably hit too many shots, which directly caused it to sink. The Japanese destroyer walked very quietly and calmly sank into the seabed under the smoke." After the war, a US destroyer officer and soldier described the scene at that time.

Under the siege of a group of destroyers like bloodthirsty piranhas, the Tosa, which had lost 70% of its power, had almost all its firepower, finally ushered in its end. The angry Americans fired more than 15 torpedoes at the destroyer! Looking at the white traces left on the sea after the torpedo was launched, everyone knew that Tosa was dead!

Two minutes later, violent explosions came from the Tosa! The dying giant ship made a terrifying whine under repeated attacks. The huge hull struggled in the sea water and flames. The sound of metal breaking, explosions and impacts continued to come. The huge bow began to slowly row into the water, and then the tail was raised high, and the propeller that was leaving the water surface was still spinning, as if he didn't want to succumb to fate. When two more torpedoes hit the warship, the already raised stern broke under the attack of the torpedo and its own gravity. The hull that was dozens of meters long fell on the sea and splashed waves hundreds of meters high!

Then, accompanied by a louder sound, the towering bridge of the Tosa slapped hard on the sea, and the violent impact smashed the entire bridge to pieces! The hull weighing more than 30,000 tons sank into the sea in less than a minute, and the huge vortex generated by the sinking of the warship swallowed up the surrounding people preparing to escape and the rescue boats. In a few minutes, the Japanese Navy killed more than 900 officers and soldiers!

"Commander, the Tosa battle has sunk." A few minutes later, an officer reported to Shigetaro Yoshimatsu. At this time, the joyful atmosphere that had originally filled the entire Nagato command tower had disappeared. The spiritual blow brought to the Japanese joint fleet by the Tosa battle has far greater than material!
