Iron Germany

Seven torpedoes rushed towards the battleship 'Colorado' in a fan shape. At the current distance, the sinking of the battleship 'Colorado' has become a foregone conclusion, and no one can change this.

Some U.S. sailors began to compete for lifeboats, planning to escape in lifeboats after the battleship was sunk. Others are desperately praying to God, praying that God can help them at this time.

"General, we are about to be hit, this place is already very dangerous, we have to escape from here!" Lieutenant General Henry Wilson looked terrified. Although, they will definitely lose this battle. However, he didn't want to die here.

Admiral Henry Mayo opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, his feet swayed, and he fell on the deck all of a sudden. At the same time, a violent explosion sounded in my ears.

"We're hit, we're about to sink!"

Then, General Henry Mayo fainted. However, the US military officers in the command tower lifted General Henry Mayo, who had passed out, out of the command tower and went straight to the lifeboat.

Of the seven torpedoes, two were missed, and the other five were hit. The side of the battleship 'Colorado' was directly torn open with five large openings. Sea water poured into the battleship frantically. With such an injury, even the damage control personnel gave up. Because, it is impossible to block it at all. If the watertight compartment is closed, the battleship will also sink due to excessive water intake.

The captain immediately issued an order to abandon the ship, but the number of lifeboats on the battleship was limited, so that most people had no chance to leave in lifeboats.

In less than five minutes, the battleship 'Colorado' sank into the sea. The more than 1,000 U.S. naval officers and soldiers on the battleship, except for a very few lucky ones who got on the lifeboat first, the rest sank into the sea together with the battleship "Colorado".

As the flagship of the battleship "Colorado", the impact of the sinking of the US fleet on the US fleet is undoubtedly extremely astonishing.

For the other warships of the US fleet, the command was chaotic for a while, and they fought separately. And this also created more opportunities for the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft force, and more and more US battleships were sunk or severely damaged.

It can be said that the U.S. fleet has lost the battle so far. They are like weak sheep, facing the butcher knife raised by the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft force, they are powerless.

After the battleship "Colorado" was sunk, the battleship "New Mexico" followed in his footsteps, and also sank under the siege of the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft force.

Until this time, the fighter planes of the second wave of the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft force ran out of ammunition and had to withdraw from the battle. Although, in this battle, the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft also lost some carrier-based aircraft. However, overall, the losses are very small and slight. Compared with the results they achieved, such a small loss is nothing at all.

After two rounds of attacks by the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft force, the US fleet lost many capital ships. Among them, the USS 'Colorado', 'Maryland', 'California', 'New Mexico' and 'Arizona' were sunk. The U.S. fleet has only 11 capital ships in total, five of which were sunk at once, and only six remain. Moreover, many of the remaining six battleships were wounded. Among them, the "Washington" and "Pennsylvania" were severely damaged, and basically lost their combat effectiveness. This also means that there are only four capital ships left in the U.S. fleet that can continue to fight, namely the 'West Virginia', the 'Tennessee', the 'Mississippi' and the 'Idaho'.

Originally, the aircraft carrier fleet of the German Navy was preparing to take off the third wave of aircraft. However, the sea conditions at this time became worse. The wind and waves were getting bigger and bigger, and there was no other way, Admiral Holzendorf had to order to cancel this attack. After all, the sea conditions in the Atlantic Ocean are already very bad, and there are many times when the wind is high and the waves are rough. Under such circumstances, if the carrier-based aircraft is launched rashly to fight, the final result may be that those carrier-based aircraft cannot be recovered.

Although, Germany has a lot of money, it doesn't matter at all to lose some planes. However, those pilots are a valuable resource. Especially for carrier-based aircraft pilots, it is even more valuable.

In this war, many carrier-based aircraft were shot down. As soon as the Atlantic Fleet discovered it, it immediately dispatched destroyers to rescue it. Every pilot is a precious asset, and we must do our best to protect them.

When Admiral Henry Mayo woke up, he was already on a light cruiser.

"How is it? How is our fleet?" Admiral Henry Mayo asked immediately.

"General, five of our capital ships have been sunk, and two more have been severely damaged. Now, only four capital ships are still fighting. However, the good news is that the weather has become very bad, The German planes may no longer be able to continue to participate in the battle." Lieutenant General Henry Wilson said.

"Is the loss so great? Order the fleet to retreat!" Admiral Henry Mayo ordered.

"General, I don't think we can go. The German fleet has already caught up." Lieutenant General Henry Wilson said.

Indeed, how could the Atlantic Fleet of the German Navy miss this good opportunity? Lieutenant General Burdick and Lieutenant General Schmidt received a telegram from Admiral Holzendorf, and they immediately cheered when they learned that the carrier-based aircraft could no longer take off for combat.

Originally, they were even prepared, and could only watch the carrier-based aircraft force sink all the American capital ships, and they could only pick up some soup in the end. But unexpectedly, there is such a good opportunity now. For them, this is undoubtedly a pie in the sky!

"Order the ships to advance at full speed! This time, we will eliminate all the American warships!" Lieutenant General Burdick ordered loudly.

The current US fleet is already extremely weak. They only need to seize this opportunity to beat the dogs in the water, and they will be able to sink all these US warships, completely drawing a perfect end to this naval battle.

The German Navy's Atlantic Fleet immediately rushed to the US fleet quickly, as if a hungry wolf rushed to a weak sheep.
