Chapter 1014

On the battleship Yamato, the flagship of the Eastern Empire Navy Combined Fleet, Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku reappeared in the command tower. In other words, he felt that the final decisive battle was coming. Of course, he, the fleet commander, would not miss this final decisive battle.

Even if the combined fleet of the Eastern Empire Navy is doomed to death. All battleships will be sunk. However, even at this point, the soldiers of the United Fleet still have a tenacious will to fight. Many people are even ready to sacrifice their lives for their country

"Your Excellency, Marshal, the German battleships are catching up. As expected, the number of battleships reached a full 45!"General Kogamine's face was bitter, and his eyes were full of despair.

Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku nodded. He naturally knew that the combined fleet had been pushed to the last moment.

Although the current combined fleet still has 18 main ships There are only ships and 12 heavy cruisers. But there are only thirty ships in total, which is only equivalent to two-thirds of the number of battleships in the Third Reich Navy. Moreover, the combat effectiveness of those heavy cruisers is naturally far inferior to that of the battleships. In comparison. Once a war breaks out, these heavy cruisers will probably be quickly killed by the battleships of the Third Reich Navy. And the 18 battleships of the Combined Fleet will also be besieged by the battleships of the Third Reich Navy. Even a Yamato-class battleship will definitely not end well. The final result can naturally be imagined.

"Order all ships to fight the Germans to the end for the glory of the empire and the glory of the navy!"Marshal Isoroku Yamamoto ordered.

For the current combined fleet, they have no other choice. They have been forced to a dead end by the Third Reich Navy and can only fight to the end. For them, this is undoubtedly It's very sad. Because even if they want to fight to the death with the Third Reich Navy, they don't have this chance!

"Hi, Mr. Marshal! Lieutenant General Fu Liufan replied

"Also, get all our heavy cruisers ready. Once the battle begins, launch a lightning strike. Even if we are destined to be annihilated, we will never make the Germans feel better!"Marshal Isoroku Yamamoto's eyes flashed with viciousness.

Knowing that they would definitely die, the Japanese still couldn't just sit back and wait for death. They still hoped to use the weapons in their hands to make the Third Reich Navy pay even more heavily. price

"Hi, Mr. Marshal!"Lieutenant General Fukudome Shige nodded with a serious expression.

These heavy cruisers of the Toyo Empire Navy are also equipped with 610mm torpedo launchers. And there are quite a few of them. For example, the Myogo-class heavy cruiser is equipped with four four-seat torpedo tubes. 610mm torpedo launch tubes. The Takakuma-class heavy cruiser is equipped with four twin-mounted 610mm torpedo tubes, and the Mogami-class heavy cruiser is equipped with four triple-mounted 610mm torpedo tubes. All these 12 heavy cruisers add up, It can launch up to 144 610 mm heavy torpedoes at one time.

The speed of these heavy cruisers is also as high as 35 knots, which is considered very fast and can be used as a torpedo strike ship.

Once these heavy cruisers withstand the main force of the Third Reich Navy If the ship's gunfire rushes within ten kilometers of the battleship and launches torpedoes, the effect will definitely be amazing.

As many as 144 610 mm heavy-duty torpedoes attack at a speed of up to 48 knots. These main forces of the Third Reich Navy It is unlikely that the ship will be able to escape. The huge power of these 610 mm heavy torpedoes is enough to cause the battleships of the Third Reich Navy to suffer heavy damage or even be sunk. Therefore, even if all the battleships of the Combined Fleet are destroyed Sunk, but as long as their plan succeeds, it will be enough to make the Third Reich Navy pay a very heavy price.

Although the Japanese know very well that they cannot come back and defeat the Third Reich Navy. However, They are simply not making things easier for the Third Reich.

At the same time, the Third Reich Navy is also making its final deployment. By eliminating the last capital ships of the Eastern Imperial Navy, the Third Reich Navy will be able to win the final victory.

"Your Excellency, Commander, all battleships are ready for battle. In addition, our DM guided missile cruiser is also ready to fire. As long as the distance is reduced to within 40 kilometers, they can launch an attack!"Marshal Albrecht was smiling. He was undoubtedly full of confidence in the upcoming naval battle.

With the Third Reich Navy having such a huge advantage, the remaining Japanese warships were undoubtedly doomed. Marshal Dönitz nodded

:"Order all ships to prepare. The missile cruiser formation took the lead in launching an attack. After sinking or severely damaging the Japanese capital ships, the capital ships then surrounded them with all their strength. Try to get rid of them at the minimum cost!"Marshal Dönitz ordered

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander! Marshal Albrecht replied.

Although the Third Reich Navy still has a large number of carrier-based aircraft, if a large number of carrier-based aircraft are dispatched to carry out siege, the remaining warships of the Toyo Navy will also be dead.

However, considering the Toyo people These battleships and heavy cruisers all have extremely powerful anti-aircraft firepower. Using carrier-based aircraft to launch an attack can certainly kill them. However, one's own carrier-based aircraft will also lose a lot. In this naval battle, the first The Third Reich Navy's carrier-based aircraft have already suffered considerable losses, and Marshal Dönitz does not want the carrier-based aircraft fleet to suffer greater losses again.

What's more, the battleships of the Third Reich Navy already possess overwhelming absolute advantages. At the same time, , there are still 12 DM guided missile cruisers that can launch the first round of attacks in order to further weaken the strength of the Toyo Navy combined fleet. The main fleet of the Third Reich Navy has a speed advantage and begins to approach the main fleet of the Toyo Navy.

12 DM guided missile cruisers were hidden behind the battleships. When the distance between the two sides was shortened to 40 kilometers, the fire control radars of these guided missile cruisers had begun to lock on the Japanese battleships. Four Yamato-class battleships, four

Kii -class battleships, two Kaga-class battleships and two Nagato-class battleships became the attack targets of these 12 DM guided missile cruisers

"emission!"

When all the fire control radars locked onto the target, the commander gave the order to fire.

"call out! call out! call out!"

Missiles one after another soared into the sky from the launch tube, dragging a trail of tail flames and flying towards the Japanese capital ship at high speed.
