Iron Germany

After this battle, the four "King Kong-class" battlecruisers of the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy all sank into the sea. This is tantamount to a serious injury to the United Fleet. After the loss of these four advanced battleships, the remaining 11 battleships, except for the two quasi-dreadnoughts, are all pre-dreadnoughts.

The previous battles have undoubtedly proved that the former dreadnought is vulnerable to a single blow in front of the super dreadnought. Even if there are still 11 former dreadnoughts left in the joint fleet of the Japanese navy. But under the attack of the eight powerful battlecruisers of the German expeditionary fleet, it was absolutely impossible to hold on. It can be said that at this point in the war, there is no longer any suspense. What followed was nothing more than the massacre of the island nation's combined fleet by the German expeditionary fleet relying on advanced warships.

"Let all the ships get ready, the next moment is our massacre!" Lieutenant General Spei looked at the United Fleet of the island nations in the distance, and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes. But then, this sympathy was replaced by firmness. Since they are enemies, they must be destroyed without mercy. If you choose to become the enemy of the German Empire, you have to pay the price for it. Therefore, all these are self-inflicted by the islanders, and they are not worthy of sympathy.

"Yes, General. The lads are already ready!" Major General Mao Fu smiled.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The three triple-mounted 50-caliber 380mm main guns of the battlecruiser "Mackenson" once again roared, aiming directly at the battleship "Hanoi", the current flagship of the United Fleet of Island Nations.

The other seven battlecruisers also fired fiercely at their targets. It is already afternoon, and there are still two or three hours before it will be dark. The soldiers are also hungry and urgently need to end this battle as soon as possible and take a good rest.

"Fight back! Fight to the end!" On the battleship Hanoi, Admiral Ijuin Goro shouted loudly, showing a very heroic performance. But alas, their warships are terrible.

The "Hanoi-class" battleship, which can be regarded as a quasi-dreadnought ship, is equipped with a total of six twin 305mm main guns. One on the bow and one on the stern, and the other four are distributed on both sides of the battleship. In this way, when shooting to one side, a total of four dual-mounted 305mm main guns can be assembled. This makes the "Hanoi-class" battleships, in a sense, already belong to the category of dreadnought ships. However, the reason why it is attributed to a quasi-dreadnought ship is because the ratio of the main guns of the "Hanoi-class" battleships is different. The two main guns located at the front and rear are 45 times the caliber. The main guns on both sides of the battleship are 40 times the caliber. This made it impossible for the "Hanoi-class" battleships to coordinate their ballistics when firing salvos. Therefore, it is classified as a quasi-dreadnought ship.

However, in front of the advanced battlecruisers of the German Navy, whether it is a quasi-dreadnought or a pre-dreadnought, they can only be torn to pieces.

Fierce naval battles broke out again. Even in the face of adversity, the officers and soldiers of the island nation's combined fleet were still not frightened, but instead broke out with a strong will to fight. This may be the result of the paranoid character of the islanders and the long-term poisoning of Bushido spirit.

"boom!"

A 305mm shell hit the battlecruiser HMS Mackensen, but only blew a hole in the deck. Such injuries are nothing to the battleship 'Mackenson'.

Subsequently, another 305mm artillery shell hit the No. 2 main turret on the front deck of the battlecruiser "Mackenson". But it's a pity that this shell didn't even tear the turret armor, let alone cause damage to the battlecruiser 'Mackenson'.

After the battlecruiser "Mackenson" suffered two consecutive shells, it finally returned its color. A 380mm artillery shell roughly tore open the side armor of the battleship "Hanoi", blowing up several cabins to pieces.

Immediately afterwards, a 380mm artillery shell penetrated the boiler room of the battleship "Hanoi", causing the boiler room to explode. You know, on a battleship, this is already a major damage after the explosion of the ammunition depot.

Accompanied by staff officers, Admiral Ijuin Goro evacuated the battleship Hanoi and moved to other battleships to continue commanding the battle.

The battleship "Hanoi" with a damaged power compartment has become a dead fish. In the ensuing battle, it was quickly sunk by the battlecruiser "Mackenson".

After destroying the battleship 'Hanoi', the battlecruiser 'Mackenson' set its target on the battleship 'Settsu'. Although, as the sister ship of the battleship Hanoi, the battleship Settsu performed very bravely. However, fate is not much different from that of the battleship Hanoi. It was also sunk in the fierce battle without holding on for long.

When the battleship 'Mackenson' sank the battleships 'Hanoi' and 'Settsu', the battlecruiser 'Prince Frederick' also sank the battleships 'Satsuma' and 'An Yun' . The "Frederick Karl" sank the battleship "Katori", and at the same time set the battleship "Kashima" on fire, floating on the sea like a dead fish.

The battlecruiser "Derfflinger" sank the battleship "Iwami". The battlecruiser "Luzov" sank the battleship "Hibzen". The battlecruiser "Hindenburg" sank the battleship "Shikishima".

The remaining "Asahi" and "Mikasa" of the island nation's combined fleet were also sunk by the battlecruisers "Goeben" and "Sedlitz".

After all the battleships of the island nation's combined fleet were sunk, the German expeditionary fleet began to pursue the protected cruisers and destroyers of the island nation's combined fleet. It's just that those protective cruisers and destroyers, seeing the situation is not good, have already fled first. Even if the warships of the German expeditionary fleet were faster, they only caught up with and sunk those protective cruisers. As for those destroyers, most of them fled back to Tokyo Bay. However, the main force of the island nation's navy has been wiped out in this battle, and even these remaining destroyers will not pose any threat to the German expeditionary fleet.

Admiral Ijuin Goro, commander of the combined island fleet, fulfilled his promise and committed seppuku in the captain's room of the battleship Katori after sending a telegram to the Admiralty.
