Chapter 1309： Continuous combat (1/2)
Chapter 1309
So far, Yamashiro as a battleship has lost the capital of battle. Its remaining main guns are not enough for corrective shooting! And Kanji Kato finally realized that he was really waiting to die if he continued to stay! As a result, the destroyer Chushuang once again pulled out the smoke screen, while another destroyer rushed up, trying to use torpedoes to cover its flagship retreat!
The only destroyer was destroyed 7,000 meters away under the fire of more than 20 guns of various calibers on two battleships. The Mountain City can only survive the smoke screen, but fortunately, the cost of the Mountain City of more than 3 million pounds is still worthwhile, and the core cabin is fairly complete. The power system is pretty good, and after doing its best to repair, it can still run at a high speed of 24 knots.
At this time, Kanji Kato didn't dare to think about anything else. He didn't care about the life and death of the Kurama or the fate of the remaining transport fleet. He just wanted to quickly escape the battlefield with this battleship. As for his personal fate, let's talk about it later!
However, what Kato Kanji did not expect was that the two German battleships did not continue to pursue themselves. After turning around and rushing to the southwest for half an hour, Kato Kanji realized that he had gotten rid of his opponents, and was unable to even see him. Finding the other side’s plume, it was obvious that the other side did not chase after him, so now the question is, what did the German fleet do?
”Maybe they are dealing with the Kurama?” Kanji Kato guessed. Let's set the time back for half an hour, when the Yamashiro decides to talk. Su Xiong received another piece of very important information-the two Japanese battleship cruisers seem to have known their positions and are speeding towards him!
”This is the best situation, isn't it?” Su Xiong let out a sigh as he looked at the distant battleship Shancheng. Finally don't worry about being trapped! ”Adjust the course, we are ready to welcome new guests!”
The thing that Kanji Kato worries the most has finally happened. He has been avoiding Yamaya's fleet to face the German fleet alone. This is exactly the situation now. The Kurama has been reached dead fish. The Yamashiro radio system was destroyed. Running in the opposite direction. And others in the mountain house who are still unclear about the battlefield just entered the battlefield...
How did the others discover the German fleet? This is how it happened. Realizing that the other person in Yamaya who was unable to contact Yamashiro found that things were going beyond expectations, he was sure that even if Kanji Kato wanted to contact him, he might not be able to contact him.... Well, now there are only two options, one is to run the road, and the other is to turn as soon as possible. It took less than 2 minutes, and the other lieutenant general of Yamaya decided to rendezvous as soon as possible, because he has the general route map of the Japanese fleet. It shouldn't be a big problem to follow this picture. And the Japanese battlecruisers also have seaplanes. So the lieutenant general of the mountain house ordered the seaplane to go out for investigation!
There is nothing wrong with this process! This process is no problem! But no problem with the handling and process does not mean that it cannot be cheated.... The reason is still the tragic radio communication capabilities of the Japanese. The reconnaissance plane looking for the warring fleet according to the expected route found the two countries' fleets fighting in the distance. The four battleships crazily tilted flames and death apart from a distance of more than ten kilometers.
Lieutenant Yoshida Taro, who discovered this situation, wanted to send this information back, but his radio communication equipment was interfered and couldn't effectively transmit it after seeing the situation, so if you want to let others in the mountain house know this situation, you have to fly back and report... . However, the voyage back is 20 nautical miles, and because of the immature navigation technology and the movement of the Japanese fleet itself, you still need to keep searching. This delayed the whole process by about 40 minutes!
