Chapter 1301 Kanji Kato has no choice

"Just today, the Imperial Navy experienced its first complete defeat since its creation! The Germans launched an attack on our fleet with unprecedented tactics. As a commander, I am ashamed of my incompetence, But before returning to Japan, I hope that all of you here can work together with me to send these two German fast battleships raging in the Indian Ocean to the bottom of the sea forever!" At around 4 o'clock in the morning, Germany The naval submarine force's attack has come to an end. Kanji Kato, who has been awake all night, has red eyes, messy hair, livid face and red eyes. This simply gives people the feeling of a beast from hell!

So far, according to incomplete statistics, the Japanese Navy has sunk 4 destroyers and the transport fleet has a total of 23 transport ships. Currently, 15 ships have been sunk! Two of the German fast battleships killed 2 destroyers and 7 transport ships, and at least 6 German submarines participated in the attack, killing another 2 destroyers and 8 transport ships. Almost all of the remaining 8 transport ships were injured! At present, the only result of the Japanese Navy is only one German submarine! (Nagumo Chuichi said that he was very calm) This was the worst and most embarrassing defeat for the entire Japanese navy since its establishment...

After tonight's bloody battle, this escort mission has actually failed. Of the 23 ships, 15 were destroyed... And it's only today. If the German fleet comes again tomorrow, the transport fleet will probably be wiped out, right? Being beaten half to death by the Germans like this, Kanji Kato can already see his end. Are you ready to commit seppuku, or are you ready to accept the approval of a military court?

As a rear admiral of the Japanese Navy, Kanji Kato was naturally unwilling to just sit back and wait for death, under the instigation of his staff (the Japanese god-level staff, huh). Kato Kanji believed that his combat mission had changed from providing cover for the transport fleet to clearing the German Indian Ocean Squadron! What's more, now he does have the capital to fight. The two King Kong-class battlecruisers owned by Lieutenant General Yamawu are enough to become a surprise force.

"Everyone, before this operation, the Navy Ministry and the Combined Fleet Headquarters have realized that the two German fast battleships may take action against us, so we have left a backup force! Vice Admiral Yamaya and others took two battleships The cruiser is following us. If the German fleet dares to come again, we can kill them with a backhand!" Kanji Kato said.

"Is Lieutenant General Yamaya taking two King Kong-class battlecruisers? God, are the big guys in the Navy Department all show-offs? What if the Germans run into him?"

"King Kong-class battlecruiser? Isn't that said to be an existence that can lead to the failure of a battle in any situation?"

“I would rather hope that the Navy Department can replace the two Kongang-class battlecruisers with one Fuso-class fast battleship.

"

"When I hear the name King Kong, I feel deeply worried about the future of the battle. They won't ruin our affairs." Just after Kanji Kato finished speaking, a group of Japanese naval officers began to discuss... .. Both words and expressions expressed pessimism about the prospects of this battle. No, to be more precise, it’s a deep distrust of the King Kong-class battlecruisers.

"Hangcao, what's going on... This is not the rhythm I want." At this time, Kato Kanji felt like there were 10,000 dogs running wildly in his heart. "Brothers, I'm off topic, okay! The situation is not right, okay! I said we have reinforcements, everyone should be happy first! And then work together to kill the opponent. Why is this situation happening today?!" Kato Kanji now wants to die.

"What we need to discuss now is that if we kill the opponent, even if Vice Admiral Yamaya's battlecruiser detachment does not arrive, we can completely rely on our own strength to kill the Germans! The Fuso-class battleship has an overwhelming advantage over the German Scharnhorst-class Sexual advantage! And I believe that my Kurama fast battleship can also persist until the Yamashiro overwhelms the opponent!" Colonel Matsumura Tatsuo on the side finally couldn't stand it anymore and came to the rescue of his immediate superior.

"Everyone, we have no choice. If you don't want to stand in a military court with humiliation and unwillingness to accept the trial, and then live the rest of your life in humiliation, then well, just show the courage as a warrior! Accept the arrangement of fate, A fateful showdown with the Germans!" Kanji Kato's impassioned words sounded again.

"The premise is that the Germans choose to fight us." Colonel Tatsuo Matsumura said silently in his heart.

So after Kato Kanji talked for a long time, unified his thoughts and cheered up his spirit, the Japanese naval officers and soldiers present expressed their determination to kill Su Xiong's fleet in tomorrow's battle, or else they would die! The sword will never be sealed until there is blood...

"Send a message to Lieutenant General Yamaya and ask him to bring the Kongo-class battlecruiser to prepare to join us. Just say that for the dignity and face of the Imperial Navy, even if the transport fleet is completely destroyed, we must destroy the Indian Ocean The cancer is completely removed!" After the meeting, Kanji Kato finally decided to contact Lieutenant General Yamaya. For this operation, the Japanese prepared a brand new communication frequency band. However, what he didn't expect was that this communication frequency band was still within the frequency range of the German receiving antenna...

After being polished by the staff, the length of this telegram was a bit long... First, Kanji Kato described the current situation of the fleet. Two fast battleships were unscathed, but four destroyers were sunk, and two-thirds of the transport fleet was destroyed. Visually, the Germans will not let go. This paragraph is not long and takes up a quarter of the telegram. Then there is Kato Sadayoshi's plan. If the German fleet comes to the door, there is no need to say anything, just start the film.

But if they don't come, then Kanji Kato will talk about his search and hunting plan, and said that if it really doesn't work, he will take the fleet to the entrance of the Persian Gulf and block the door directly... However, after adding this content, the length of the telegram reached more than 2,000 words.

"What's going on?!" Just when Kanji Kato was sending the report, Su Xiong was called out by his staff. When he found out after questioning that it was nothing serious, Su Xiong was so angry that he just wanted to vent. The communications staff officer next to him asked him to calm down with just one sentence.

"Although it is unbelievable, I suspect that the Japanese are sending a novel by telegraph... So far, we have been receiving it for half an hour, and they have not finished sending it... ." The communications staff officer said with some embarrassment.
