Chapter 1293 Take a rest

"These madmen! I swear, I swear I will kill them!" Looking at the sea that had been dyed red with blood and fire, Kato Kanji looked like a mad tiger. However, going crazy is one thing, fighting is another. When night has gradually enveloped the entire sea, it is really not easy to attack enemy ships in the distance.

It is true that the two German fast battleships were firing wildly, and the fire had already exposed their positions, but the wreckage and thick smoke of other Japanese ships on the sea still interfered with the sightings of Yamashiro and Kurama. In the end, they were 15 meters away from each other. At 1,000 kilometers, the rangefinder on the battleship Yamashiro finally placed the Scharnhorst firmly in the center of the rangefinder!

"Fire!" As the firing order was issued, Yamashiro's 10 15-inch naval guns finally let out their first war roar! Five 870KG shells roared towards the distant target. Tens of seconds later, the water column formed by the shells falling into the water instantly covered half of the Scharnhorst's hull.

Just 5 minutes later, the Kurama fast battleship also discovered traces of the Gneisenau. Subsequently, this Japanese first-generation fast battleship also challenged its German counterpart. Four 14-inch guns sprayed out long Long flames shot at the unsuspecting German battleship.

"The Japanese are here, get ready to leave! Today our mission has been completed." Looking at the flames rising on the sea level in the distance and the water columns around him, Su Xiong decisively gave the order to retreat, and he walked with a cry. It's straightforward and not sloppy at all!

The current situation is very confusing. Because the two battleships were killed so hard just now, there are burning ships next to them. The fire of the ships illuminates the figures of the two German battleships very well. At this moment, the two Japanese battleships are hidden. In the night, except for the firelight when firing, it was impossible to determine the target location. In addition, the opponent might also have a destroyer. Therefore, in this situation that was obviously unfavorable to him, Su Xiong decided to pull the trigger first, and then tomorrow. Get the place back….

The two German battleships were very careful when walking. Even in the night, in order to finally block the light that might be used by the other side, the two battleships immediately stopped shooting, and then pulled out smoke screens... In just a few dozen seconds, the outline of the German battleship disappeared from the Japanese sight, completely blending into the darkness!

However, in such a short period of time, with such miserable visibility, and with the very careful actions of the German battleships, it was naturally impossible to achieve effective hits by shooting two Japanese battleships from 15 kilometers away. Not even a crossfire was formed.

The German fleet disappeared even faster as it came. In just ten minutes, there was no trace of the two German battleships in the sea area of ​​​​the main film. There were only ruins and corpses on the entire battlefield, as well as people struggling on the sea. Outside the crowd, only the Japanese fleet was left staring with big eyes and small eyes...

"Let the destroyer Kagero (that's the name) rescue people,

The other transport ships immediately accelerated their sailing. "After a moment of silence, Kato Kanji ordered.

"Aren't we going to participate in the rescue?" asked an officer next to him.

"The Germans may not have gone far. They are hiding in the darkness like a pack of wolves, waiting for an opportunity to attack us. We must ensure that the battleships are also hidden and alert to enemies coming from the darkness." Kanji Kato said with a livid face. If you want to save people, you must turn on the lights. Taking the initiative to turn on the lights at night means being exposed. Open flame fighting describes this situation. (Is this what it means...) Who knows whether the German fleet has left or not? Turn on the lights to find people, and then wait for the German fleet to use the lights to come up? Kanji Kato doesn’t think he’s that stupid.

After hastily arranging the rescue operation, Kato Kanji began to consider another issue. Is it necessary for him to immediately send a message to Lieutenant General Yamaya to ask the latter to move closer to him. According to what most people think, now that the German fleet has appeared and caused huge losses to the fleet. So now it's time to let the ambush fleet come out. But if you think about it yourself, it will be different.

Because, although the German fleet appeared, Kato Kanji didn't know whether the current German fleet had left or continued to hang around him. If you don't even know where the enemy is, why did you ask the other people's fleet from Shanwu to come up?

What? You said let the two King Kongs search for the target together? Come on, there is a fundamental difference between Yamaya's fleet and Kato Kanji's two fast battleships. Let's put it this way, even if the German fleet is really discovered, if the German fleet does not escape, Kanji Kato can choose to fight hard, but if Yamaya's two Kongo-class battleships encounter, it would be good to escape! The strength of the two sides is incomparable!

Therefore, despite the fact that the Japanese fleet has sent 4 battleships this time, there is only one tactic that can retain the German fleet, and that is Kanji Kato first bites the German fleet, and it is best to injure it and limit the opponent's Speed, and then Shanwu's other fleets will come up to hit the target! Otherwise, if the Su Xiong fleet and the two King Kongs encounter each other first, then the Japanese fleet's combat plan will directly change from a comedy to a tragedy!

Therefore, even if Kanji Kato wants to kill the German fleet again, he must not do it rashly now. Otherwise, who knows what the situation will be like at sea after one night? In order to ensure concealment, the other fleets in Shanwu did not even send telegrams, so naturally they did not know the situation here.

Therefore, Kato Kanji was hesitant, hesitant, not sure whether to let others come to the mountain house. At the same time, before resting at night, Su Xiong and Redel also had some ideas about future combat plans.

"Tonight's performance is good. The Gneisenau destroyed 1 destroyer and 4 transport ships. We killed 1 destroyer and 3 transport ships, and one of them was a troop transport ship that transported thousands of Japanese troops. Again Is it okay to do this a few times?" Reidel thought for a while and said. He believes that since good results can be obtained simply by avoiding a simple sneak attack by the Japanese fleet, then there is no need to have a direct confrontation with the Japanese fleet, right? This is a typical thinking of breaking up a relationship. Try not to meet the opponent's battleship if possible...

"Today is an exception. If the Japanese are more cautious and send seaplanes for reconnaissance before nightfall, then there is a high probability that we will be found only about 50 kilometers behind the Japanese fleet. Once, there can be no second Times. Even if they attack at dawn, the Japanese can still release seaplanes at dawn and discover us first," Su Xiong said.
