Jagged Germany

Chapter 718: Gap (2500 votes plus more)

??A distance of more than ten kilometers is nothing to a destroyer sailing at high speed, it only takes ten minutes. The two "Kamikaze-class" destroyers of the Japanese Navy rushed to the two "G-class" destroyers of the German Navy with courage.

??Although, the "Kamikaze-class" destroyer is more than half the size of the "G-class" destroyer. However, there is a huge fleet main force behind them, so they are not afraid at all.

"Reduce the speed to 2,000 meters, then open fire, sink the German destroyer, avenge the people of the empire who were massacred by them, and make the Germans regret coming to the Far East!" Captain Shigeki Sonoda, the builder of the destroyer 'Isohime' ordered.

?? "Hi, Your Excellency Captain!" The other officers and soldiers replied loudly.

??Captain Matsushita Sokichi, the captain of the destroyer "Ayanami", also issued a similar order.

??Although their destroyers are much smaller than those of the Germans, they still have great advantages, especially the number of naval guns is double that of the destroyers of the German Navy. This gives them a considerable advantage in close combat.

??However, the two "G-class" destroyers of the German Navy obviously will not give them this opportunity. When the two sides were three kilometers apart, Captain Mike gave the order to fire.

?? "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The three 88mm naval guns on the destroyer 'G37' began to fire wildly. The dense shells slammed hard at the destroyer 'Isoha'.

??Germany's artillery technology is enough to throw the island country several streets away. This makes their artillery not only have a greater range and power than those of the island countries, but also a much faster rate of fire. In particular, the 88mm main gun is a classic German gun. The maximum rate of fire can reach more than ten percent.

?? "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

?? Shells kept falling around the destroyer 'Isoha', splashing jets of water.

?? "Baga! Didn't our intelligence say that there were only three 88mm naval guns on the German destroyer? But how could their gunfire be so fierce?" Captain Shigeki Sonoda cursed with a black face.

??The artillery of the destroyers of the German Navy fired at a fast rate, which gave Lieutenant Shigeki Sonoda the feeling that there were more than ten artillery pieces firing at them. Of course Shigeki Sonoda knew why. However, this terrified him very much. The destroyers of the German Navy effectively made up for the gap in the number of naval guns with their rate of fire, and even had a great advantage. This makes it very difficult for the destroyers of the island navy to win.

??At the same time, the destroyer "G38" of the German Navy also began to fire on the destroyer "Ayanami" of the Japanese Navy. The fierce artillery fire made the destroyer "Ayanami" of the Japanese Navy realize what it means to be rained like bullets.

??Although the distance between the two sides was still relatively far, there was no other way. Captain Shigeki Sonoda and Captain Matsushita Sokichi had to order to fight back.

?? At this distance, their 40-caliber 80mm naval guns can threaten the destroyers of the German Navy. However, the 80mm naval gun with 28 times the caliber is much worse.

?? On the battleship 'King Kong', Admiral Ijuin Goro and Major General Yamashita Gentaro both looked uneasy. Their two destroyers were suppressed by two destroyers of the German Navy as soon as they fought. This undoubtedly shows how big the performance gap between the two warships is. If this continues, the destroyers of the island nation's navy will have no chance of winning at all. Instead, they will be hit or even sunk as time goes by.

?? "Boom!"

??An 88mm artillery shell hit the bow of the destroyer "Isoha", and easily blew a big hole in its bow.

??Destroyers have almost no armor because of their small displacement, and they all run naked. This makes its ability to resist blows, and naturally it is very bad. Compared with the destroyers of the German Navy, there are more or less some armor in the core parts. The destroyers of the island navy, in order to equip more naval guns on the small hull, naturally save as much as possible in other aspects. Under such circumstances, its survivability can be imagined.

?? Immediately afterwards, another shell hit the destroyer 'Isoha'. This shell hit the side of the destroyer "Isoha", blowing away a 28-caliber 80mm secondary gun, and at the same time caused the shells piled up next to the gun to explode, destroying the entire side. A large piece was blown up and a raging fire was ignited.

?? "Baga!" Captain Shigeki Sonoda, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. One's own warships were hit continuously, but they couldn't hit the enemy's warships at all. The idiot also knows that they have less than the slightest advantage in this battle!

??The battle between the destroyer 'Ayanami' and the destroyer 'G38' was almost one-sided. The destroyer "Ayanami" was completely suppressed and was hit continuously.

?? "Good job! Let the gunners work harder, and the battle will be resolved within five minutes." Captain Mike had a smile on his lips, as if he had seen that his side was about to win.

?? "Yes, Your Excellency Captain!"

?? "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

??The gunners stuffed the shells one by one into the barrel at the fastest speed, and then fired them out. The three 88mm naval guns on the destroyers of the German Navy exerted great power.

?? Soon, the destroyers 'Isoha' and 'Ayanami' of the island navy were beaten and bruised. The superstructure has been beaten with holes everywhere, and a raging fire has also ignited. It seemed only a matter of time before they were sunk.

?? "Baga! Damn the German destroyer, how could it be so powerful? Our destroyer has no power to fight back in front of them!" Major Gentaro Yamashita's face was ashen. He never thought that the destroyer confrontation between the two sides would have such a result. Although he knew that the destroyers of the German Navy were very strong, he didn't know that they would be so strong!

??General Ijuin Goro, also had an ugly expression on his face. Although, even if the two destroyers were sunk, it would not be a big loss to the navy of the island country. However, before the main confrontation between the two navies, if they can win the destroyer confrontation, this will undoubtedly have a great boost to the morale of the fleet. But now it appears that his expectations have been dashed. Their destroyers not only have no way to win, but may be sunk instead. If this continues, it will also deal a considerable blow to the morale of the fleet.
