The two "Fuso-class" battleships of the island nation's fleet are also old ships that have been in service for more than 20 years. In the last world war, when the German expeditionary fleet slammed the island nation, two "Fuso-class" battleships were under construction, and they could not keep up with the naval battle. Of course, if it catches up, it is probably also the result of being sunk by the German fleet.
In 1933, the navy of the Japanese island country carried out modernization and modification of the "Fuso-class" battleship, strengthened the defense, added anti-aircraft weapons, and the displacement rose to nearly 40,000 tons, and the combat effectiveness was greatly improved. However, unlike the modification of the German Navy, the improvement of the modified combat power of the island nation's navy is limited, and it cannot be compared with the German Navy at all. This also made the two "Fuso-class" battleships basically useless in this battle.
Now it is being targeted by the battleship formation of the Indian Ocean Fleet of the German Navy. Seven hits two. It is naturally conceivable what effect it will have next.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The four "Nassau-class" battleships and three "Blücher-class" battleships of the German Navy started shelling, and the 380mm shells slammed into the "Fuso" battleship frantically.
The shell fell into the sea, splashing a jet of water into the sky.
"Baga! What's going on here? How can there be German warships here?" The captain of the battleship "Fuso" Tsutomu Sato stared dumbfounded at the German warships that were firing in the distance.
They received orders to leave the battlefield quickly, so they are retreating at maximum speed. But unexpectedly, it was attacked by the German fleet. They thought that the German fleet was chasing other warships and they would never find them. After all, they were already far away from the battlefield because of their slow speed.
"Your Excellency, Captain, seven capital ships, that is the main fleet of the German Indian Ocean Fleet!" said a staff officer.
"Asshole! What should we do now?" Tsutomu Sato panicked.
This time, the capital ship fleet of the island nation's fleet suffered a big setback. So far, four capital ships have been sunk. Now, they have encountered seven capital ships of the German Navy, and the end is undoubtedly extremely tragic.
"Send a telegram to the battleship 'Suruga', tell them that we have encountered the main fleet of the German Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet, and request reinforcements!" Sato Tsutomu said.
"Hi, Your Excellency Captain!" The communications officer immediately went to send a telegram.
However, Sato Tsutomu probably knew that even if he sent a telegram asking for help, it probably wouldn't have any effect. Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo is leading the fleet to flee for his life now, so how can there be time to rescue them!
Indeed, when Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo received a telegram from Sato Tsutomu for help, his face turned pale.
"Damn, the German Indian Ocean Fleet has appeared! This time, we are completely finished!" Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo's eyes were full of despair.
In the previous battle, he was preparing for the battleship formation of the German Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet. However, what he didn't expect was that they were defeated by just the eight capital ships of the Pacific Fleet. Now the seven capital ships of the Indian Ocean Fleet have also arrived. Isn't this killing them?
"General, the battleship 'Fuso' and the battleship 'Yamashiro' are probably in danger this time." Said Colonel Fukushige.
Lieutenant Admiral Yoshida Zengo nodded. Now the capital ship team of the island nation fleet has only eight capital ships except for the four "Amagi-class" battlecruisers performing sneak attack missions. Moreover, they are still in pursuit of the German fleet. By the end of this naval battle, it is undoubtedly difficult to say how many capital ships will be left. However, one thing is certain, that is, in this naval battle, the combined fleet of the island nation's navy has already suffered a complete defeat.
"Send a telegram to Tsutomu Sato and let them evacuate by themselves!" Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo said.
"Hi, General!" Colonel Fukudome replied.
Obviously, Lieutenant Admiral Yoshida Zengo is going to let the battleships "Fuso" and "Yamashiro" to fend for themselves.
Of course, Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo has no choice. Now they are already at an absolute disadvantage, and it is already very difficult to deal with the eight capital ships of the Pacific Fleet. Coupled with the seven capital ships of the Indian Ocean Fleet, it is enough to solve them all. If warships are sent to rescue the battleships "Fuso" and "Yamashiro", their losses will only be further increased.
"Send a telegram to the 'Ise', 'Hyuga' and 'Mutsu' to tell them to turn around immediately and leave the battlefield as soon as possible!" Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo ordered.
Now, the battle has not started with these warships. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to evacuate as soon as possible, once the German fleet catches up, these three capital ships will obviously not be able to escape.
"Hi, General."
Lieutenant Admiral Yoshida Zengo did this, undoubtedly in order to safely withdraw as many battleships as possible from the island nation. With the German fleet occupying an absolute advantage, it can only keep as many capital ships as possible.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The battle was very fierce. The main guns of the battleships on both sides fired crazily, and heavy shells hit the sea one after another. The island nation's fleet wanted to evacuate safely, but the German fleet was chasing after it, wanting to sink more island nation battleships.
It can be said that in the battle, the German fleet has completely gained the upper hand. Under their attack, the island nation's fleet couldn't resist at all, and could only watch helplessly as its capital ships were sunk one after another.
After all, in the case of night battles, the island fleet is at a disadvantage. Although their capital ship is equipped with radar, it can only play a search role, and cannot guide the main gun to fire at all. However, the German fleet was able to use the artillery sighting radar to effectively increase the hit rate. This is why the German fleet was able to gain an advantage in this naval battle.
Under the siege of the battleship formation of the German Navy's Pacific Fleet, the battleships "Fuso" and "Yamashiro" were successively sunk. And they caused almost no damage to the German fleet.
In addition, the battleship "Tosa" of the island nation fleet was also sunk during the battle, but one of the three "Derfflinger-class" battlecruisers chasing the island nation fleet was also sunk. The remaining two "Ki-class" battleships used high speed to withdraw from the battlefield. Except for the three "Blücher-class" battlecruisers, the German fleet couldn't catch up at all.
