Jagged Germany

Chapter 1023: End (ask for a monthly ticket)

?? "Ignore the USS Washington and the USS Pennsylvania, and focus on killing the remaining four American capital ships that are intact!" Lieutenant General Burdick issued an order.

??The battleships "Washington" and "Pennsylvania", which have been severely damaged, not only have no threat, but even their speed has been affected. Under such circumstances, it would not take much effort to get rid of these two battleships. Therefore, to deal with those intact battleships first, and then deal with these two ships last, will undoubtedly expand the results of the battle.

?? "Yes, General."

??The Atlantic Fleet of the German Navy quickly killed the fleeing American fleet.

??In the previous battles, they have been acting as bait and spectators, which has long made them feel suffocated. Now, the real battle begins, and they can just unleash it all.

??Facing the majestic German Navy's Atlantic Fleet, the U.S. Fleet seemed panicked. More than half of their main force has been lost under the siege of the German Navy carrier-based aircraft force. Similarly, the morale of the troops has also been greatly affected. Under such circumstances, they could not resist the attack of the powerful German army at all, which also caused the morale of the American fleet to completely drop to freezing point.

?? "No, let them form a battle line. If they fight independently, they will be killed by the Germans soon!" Admiral Henry Mayo struggled to stand up and said to Lieutenant General Henry Wilson. Now that they are on a light cruiser, they simply cannot command the battle in time.

?? "Yes, General." Lieutenant General Henry Wilson nodded. However, with such a distance, it is very difficult to say whether those battleships will follow the orders. After all, at this time, finding a way to save one's own life is the most important thing.

??After receiving the order from Admiral Henry Mayo, the remaining four battleships of the U.S. military finally formed a battle line. However, they have to face twice as many enemies as themselves.

?? Even the most powerful battleship "West Virginia" cannot guarantee a steady victory over the "Bavaria-class" battleships of the German Navy, let alone a one-on-two battleship. Unless it is a manifestation of God, otherwise, the final result is undoubtedly doomed.

??The battle broke out quickly, but almost from the beginning, the battle showed a one-sided situation. One side has a great advantage in both quantity and combat power, and its momentum is like a rainbow. The strength of the other party is at an absolute disadvantage, and at the same time its morale is low. Therefore, the defeat of the American fleet will be beyond any doubt.

?? "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

??The capital ships of both sides opened fire violently, blasting shells one by one towards the battleships of the opposing side. However, no matter how you look at it, the impact point of the battleship of the German Navy is obviously much closer. The shells fired by the U.S. fleet appeared disorganized and far away, as if fired in a panic.

??Although, the US fleet has tried its best. However, they still could not change the outcome of this naval battle.

??The battleship 'Mississippi' was hit first, and a 380mm artillery shell directly destroyed the main turret on its front deck. Fortunately, there was no propellant in the turret, and the shells in the barrel had already been fired. Otherwise, the consequences will be even more serious. But even so, the American sailors on the battleship "Mississippi" were scared enough! You know, they walked in front of the ghost gate just now! If the ammunition depot is also penetrated, then they are dead.

??In the next few minutes, the battleships 'Idaho' and 'West Virginia' were also hit one after another. The situation has become increasingly unfavorable for the US fleet.

?? "General, our capital ship keeps getting hit. I'm afraid this naval battle will be powerless." Lieutenant General Henry Wilson said.

??Henry? General Mayo nodded, without saying a word. Similarly, he no longer expressed any confidence in this battle. Obviously, at this point in the battle, the US fleet has absolutely no chance of winning.

??In less than 20 minutes, the battleship 'Idaho' was hit six times in a row. The superstructure had been battered to pieces and was still burning. In addition, the waterline armor on the side was also penetrated, and water was constantly entering.

?? "God! The battleship is sinking, run for your life!"

??Despite such injuries, if handled properly, the battleship 'Idaho' can continue to fight. But the U.S. military no longer has the confidence to continue fighting. This also caused everyone to flee for their lives after the battleship 'Idaho' was damaged, and no one went to deal with the danger at all. This directly caused the battleship 'Idaho' to sink into the sea ten minutes later.

??The battleship 'Idaho' was sunk, which made the remaining three battleships run away like frightened birds, regardless of the formation of the battle line.

?? It's just that these battleships of the US fleet were more or less injured in the previous battle, and their speed was not fast. In addition, the U.S. Navy's shipbuilding idea is to attach importance to firepower and defense, and despise speed. This makes the U.S. Navy's capital ships never have an advantage in speed.

??Although these American warships tried desperately to escape, they could not escape at all, and were quickly caught up and then besieged.

?? "General, let's go quickly! If we don't leave, it will be too late." Lieutenant General Henry Wilson urged.

??Although the attention of the German Navy is still on several capital ships of the US fleet. However, other warships of the German Navy are obviously preparing to surround them and attack the small and medium-sized warships of the US fleet.

??After losing the capital ship, the remaining warships of the US fleet were no longer opponents of the German Navy. In the end, they were only sunk one after another.

??Admiral Henry Mayo nodded: "Give the order to retreat! I wish everyone good luck. I hope everyone can return to the United States safely!"

?? Of course, Admiral Henry Mayo also knew that this was simply impossible. However, he still hopes that the officers and soldiers of the American fleet can escape back to the United States as much as possible. After all, with American industry, these lost warships can easily be replenished. However, these experienced sailors are not so easy to replenish.

?? There is no suspense in the naval battle. The German Navy's Atlantic Fleet easily ate up the main force of the heavily damaged American fleet. In the process of arriving, the local fleet also intercepted some fish that slipped through the net. This caused heavy losses to the US fleet, and less than 30% of the troops fled back to the mainland.
