Chapter 2611： Fights that should have been avoided (1/2)
Sure enough, after a few minutes, the Su Xiong fleet turned its bow and began to evacuate, and then a question posed in front of the Japanese. Facing the evacuated Su Xiong fleet, should the Japanese fleet chase it or not?
”Forget it.” Betty looked at the dozen destroyers still following the battleship and said. At this time, they definitely won't chase Su Xiong, because in terms of speed, the opponent seems to be faster. . Now, Su Xiong's pursuit is largely because the US fleet is behind. So the question is, will the Japanese fleet still carry out the previous plan?
”I think it would be better to fight.” Shimura Hayao's words played a final role, making Shigetaro Yoshimatsu who was hesitant to make up his mind.
”Look at the number of the American fleet first, and be careful of their destroyers. Just order the destroyer squadron to defend against lightning strikes. The fleet slows down and we wait for the Americans to come.” Shigetaro Yoshimatsu ordered.
”If Su Xiong's battleship still has armor-piercing shells, it will be troublesome.” Shimura Hayao was still a little confused at the critical moment.
”Probably not. The Germans are also very expensive, and their remaining artillery is also very small, even half of the combat effectiveness. If the situation is not right, we can also go.” Betty said.
”Then prepare, Lords! The rise and fall of the empire is in this battle!” Shigeru Yoshimatsu said, looking at the brightly lit American fleet in the distance. At this time, the Americans did not mean to hide their whereabouts at all, because Benson knew that the Japanese wanted to stay and fight, otherwise, no matter how well the American fleet hides, it will never touch the hair of the Japanese fleet. The speed difference can be 4 to 6 knots! You tell me, if the Japanese do not want to fight, how can the US fleet in pursuit of it catch up?
”Report the status of the fleet,” Benson said.
”At present, there are 9 battleships keeping up with the main fleet. They are the USS Tennessee and the USS California of the same class, the USS New Mexico and the USS Mississippi of the same class, the USS Pennsylvania and the USS Arizona, the USS Nevada and Okla. Homer and Texas. There are 40 destroyers in total. 3 light cruisers, namely Omaha, Richmond and Cincinnati.” Sims said.
”9V9, the Japanese fleet has gone through a series of battles. We should have the advantage.” Benson said, looking at the Japanese fleet that also broke the light control in the distance. At this time, both sides gave up defense and hiding, and were ready to fight each other. Head to head! The Japanese fleet's reliance is that it can't be beaten and run, and the US fleet doesn't think it will be defeated at all! After all, there are four battleships slowly arriving behind.
”Where is Su Xiong's fleet?” Benson asked.
