Jagged Germany

Chapter 1264: Chase (seeking monthly ticket)

??Aboard the aircraft carrier 'Ibuki', Admiral Yamamoto Fifty-six and Rear Admiral Takahashi Iwang still did not rest. Although, very tired. However, they didn't feel sleepy at all.

??Before learning that the capital ship team was at a disadvantage, this made Admiral Yamamoto Fifty-Six's heart hang. In my heart, I kept praying to God Amaterasu, praying that their luck would be better, that they could reverse the situation and turn defeat into victory.

??Of course, General Yamamoto Fifty-Six also knew that it was useless to pin his hopes on the blessing of this illusory god. However, the Fifty-Sixth General Yamamoto at this moment has no other way.

??Before the outbreak of the naval battle, they expected everything too well, thinking that with their strong strength, once they were hit by the battleship formation of the German Navy, they would be able to win a crushing victory. But the current result gave them a slap in the face. Those seemingly old warships of the German Navy actually possessed extremely powerful combat effectiveness. The cutting-edge battleships of the Japanese Navy are no match for the old battleships of the German Navy in the duel.

?? "Your Excellency, Commander, go and take a rest, I will watch over here." Major General Takahashi Iwang said.

General Yamamoto Fifty-Six shook his head: "How could it be possible to sleep! Our warriors are fighting with the Germans on the front line, life and death are uncertain. This naval battle is related to the fate of the empire. As the commander, how can I Maybe he fell asleep?"

??Major General Takahashi Iwang opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. He knew that the current battle situation was not going well, and General Yamamoto Fifty-Six was also in a very bad mood. Under such circumstances, how could General Yamamoto go to rest?

?? "Your Excellency, Commander, Yoshida-kun will definitely be able to lead the fleet to defeat the Germans!" Rear Admiral Takahashi Iwang said.

??General Yamamoto Fifty-Six nodded. Of course he hoped that Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo would win. But he also knew that this possibility might not be too great. This time the battle situation will become more difficult.

?? "Your Excellency, Commander, General Yoshida Zengo requests to retreat!" A staff officer walked in and reported to General Yamamoto Fifty-Six.

??The faces of General Yamamoto Fifty-Six and Major General Takahashi Iwang suddenly became even uglier. Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo couldn't hold on any longer and wanted to request a retreat, which undoubtedly meant that the situation was getting worse. This is undoubtedly even more unfavorable for the island fleet.

?? "How could this be? Has our loss been too great to persist?" Major General Takahashi Iwang said with pain on his face.

?? "How big is our loss?" General Yamamoto Fifty-Six took a deep breath to calm down his mood.

"Your Excellency, Commander, Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo reports that so far, the battleships 'Nagato', 'Kaga', 'Ki' and 'Owari' have all been sunk. The rest The battleships are also at a disadvantage and are completely suppressed by the German fleet. If we continue to fight, we may have more battleships sunk by the Germans." The officer reported.

"Baga! Are the Germans so strong? Only relying on the eight battleships of the Pacific Fleet, our 12 battleships have no power to fight back. How can we defeat the Germans in this battle?" Yamamoto The fifty-six general was very speechless. If the 7 capital ships of the German Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet also arrived, wouldn't they be defeated? Besides, even the capital ship team they thought had a huge advantage could not defeat the Germans, let alone the aircraft carrier team. The strength of the German aircraft carrier team is stronger than that of the island navy. These all cast a shadow over this naval battle. It is undoubtedly very, very difficult for the combined fleet of the island nation's navy to win the final victory, at least from now on.

?? "Your Excellency, Commander, do we need to send a telegram to Yoshida-kun?" Major General Takahashi Iwang asked.

Admiral Yamamoto Fifty-Six shook his head: "The capital ship team is, let Yoshida-kun handle it. Since he thinks we have to retreat, let's retreat. Although, the combat effectiveness of our capital ship team is not as good as that of Germany. Fleet. However, our capital ships should at least have the advantage in terms of speed. In this case, there is no problem in withdrawing the battleship. After losing four battleships, our capital ship fleet suffered heavy losses. But if we add four more' For the Amagi-class battlecruisers, we still have 12 capital ships, and we still have the strength to fight against the German fleet. If we are lucky, we may not have the possibility of defeating them."

??Rear Admiral Takahashi Iwang nodded. Although the German fleet is at a disadvantage now, it is often difficult to say clearly about naval battles. Maybe the island nation's fleet will have better luck in the next battle and easily defeat the German fleet.

?? "Nagumo-kun, get ready for the carrier-based aircraft. After dawn, you will be needed to **** the capital ship team and dispatch carrier-based aircraft to attack the German capital ship force!" said Admiral Yamamoto Fifty-Six.

??In the case of the disastrous defeat of one's own capital ship team, General Yamamoto can only pin his hopes on the carrier-based aircraft force, hoping that the carrier-based aircraft force can reverse the situation for the combined fleet of the island nation's navy.

?? "Hi, Your Excellency, Commander!" Lieutenant General Chuichi Nagumo replied with a serious face. He also knew that the situation was very critical. This time, if the joint fleet of the island nation's navy cannot survive, it may face a disastrous defeat. The consequences of that will undoubtedly be very serious.

??On the frontline battlefield, the battleship 'Suruga' has already been hit by several 380mm shells. Although it was not fatal, it made Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo more determined to retreat. He knew that if he persisted, the battleship 'Suruga' would be sunk in a short time. At that time, they will not be able to leave even if they want to.

?? "Order all ships to retreat from now on!" Lieutenant General Yoshida Zengo ordered.

?? "Hi, General!"

??Fukurushige issued the order to retreat to the capital ships of the island nation's combined fleet. The ships began to turn one after another, increasing the engagement distance with the German fleet.

?? "General, the islanders want to escape, they are scared!" Major General Felix looked excited. At this point in the battle, they finally won.

"Hmph! The islanders want to run now, so it's not that easy. Order all the ships to pursue immediately! Seize this opportunity and sink as many battleships as possible!" Theodor Burchard Lieutenant General Di ordered.
