Chapter 2791： Ended (1/2)
Send a signal to Mutsu, saying that I agree to this plan, and other warships of the Joint Fleet can provide cover for it, but remember, you must not love the battle. Evacuate immediately after obtaining the victory. ”Yoshimatsu Shigetaro said. A few minutes later, the Japanese fleet after a short rest period moved again. They approached the Idaho, which had left the queue. The three battleships Mutsu, Yamashiro, and Hyuga formed this place. The spearhead of a Japanese fleet attack!
”The Japanese are coming up again!” Sims felt a big head looking at the Japanese fleet regrouping in the distance!
”Get ready to fight, we can't show weakness!” Ma Jifen said. Subsequently, the US fleet rushed up again, with the better-conditioned ships Maryland, Tennessee and Pennsylvania leading the way!
”Order Yamashiro and our ship to concentrate all firepower on the Idaho, and the other American warships are handed over to the friendly forces.” Takeshita commanded. As a result of the exchange of fire between the two fleets, the rumble of gunfire resounded through the battlefield again. However, even if you are a layman, you can feel that the hearts of both sides are not enough.
But even so, in the face of two top-notch super fearless attacks, the Idaho, which had no half-life left, was quickly unable to sustain it. After all the main guns were destroyed, this American battleship rose. Abandoned ship flag. However, what the Americans did not expect was that when the Americans began to open the sea valve to release the water, the Japanese fleet actually evacuated quickly....
”They just want to sink our warship again.” Ma Jifen said with a long breath. After speaking, he felt numbness and exhaustion engulfing his body instantly, when the string that had been tight was broken. At that time, Ma Jifen lay half on the chair as if falling apart. Looking at the Japanese fleet going away this time, Ma Jifen knew that he and the remaining US Navy had finally survived!
”In this war we lost 5 super fearless and 3 armored cruisers. The destroyer also sank 18. This is the biggest loss of the U.S. Navy since its establishment.” Sims had a sad expression on his face. His words are full of regret and self-blame.
”Look a little bit, the Japanese also lost 3 super fearless, and their destroyer squadron lost no less than us. You know, this time, we fought at an absolute disadvantage. We performed very well. Take the fleet back to Pearl Harbor with peace of mind. In a few months we will get new super battleships and aircraft carriers, and by that time, we will absolutely kill the Japanese in a naval battle that shocked the world.” Ma Jifen comforted.
Who won this battle? Judging from the battle losses between the two sides, the Japanese must have won. One Tosa, one Ibuki, and one Hiei were replaced by five U.S. Navy super fearless! Plus 3 armored cruisers! If converted into tonnage, the loss of the US Navy is more than twice that of the Japanese Navy! The Japanese said that they had won a big victory.
But if you look at it from another angle, the Japanese fleet fought this battle almost with a good hand! If their operations are better, or the tactical arrangements of the US and German navies are not so good, the Japanese fleet can definitely gain a greater advantage!
In this battle, the response of the US fleet to the Japanese twin-engine bomber force is absolutely brilliant. When thinking about the double-engine close combat, with the cooperation of the remaining twin-engine bombers, the Japanese fleet can quickly kill the Colorado. If not at first If the two armored cruisers were to attract their opponents, if all the attack firepower of the Japanese twin bombers fell on the battleships, then the US Navy would have collapsed an hour ago! The loss is far from 5 battleships!
