"Turn immediately and avoid them. We return to normal battle lines to fight." The continuous blows and slightly shaking hull made Kato Hiroji realize for the first time how bad his situation was. The smoke screen seemed to be of no use to the Germans. After pulling into the distance, the German fleet's sudden increase in hit rate made Yama Castle a little overwhelmed. In this case, Kato Hiroji decisively ordered the warship to turn 120 degrees and re-open the distance again, trying to pull the battle back to normal, and then use this time to solve the power supply problem of the two rear main turrets.

Yamashiro turned first and opened up the distance. The huge speed change rate and high speed allowed it to successfully avoid the next round of bullet rain. The Sadmashiro continued to follow, and the Japanese, under the cover of the smoke screen, became a trajectory that was flush with the German fleet. The front seemed to have returned to its previous situation. The only difference was that the huge bullet holes on the Yamashiro battleship told people the price paid by the struggle just now.

"The rear turret of Shancheng City seems to be useless?" When the smoke screen dissipated, Su Xiong suddenly discovered that the attack strength of Shancheng City had plummeted. In addition to the three turret groups in the front that were still spewing dazzling red light from time to time, the turrets at the tail did not even show signs of fire. After realizing this, Su Xiong thought this was an opportunity, so this time the German pulled a closer range and charged!

The fleet returned to the 1V1 battle situation. The Schánhorst was able to suppress the Yamashiro, which had temporarily lost half of its firepower. The Gneesenau also performed well in the battle against the Atsuma. Due to water inlet and mechanical wear, the Atsumashi was only about 23 knots at this time, which was similar to the battleship. Faced with the German battleship that was coming at high speed, the Japanese fleet could only watch the distance between the two sides closer, and then the bayonets were red!

Boom! Boom! Almost at the same time, huge smoke columns rose from the decks of the Gneisenau and the Stuppy. A shell fell on the decks of the Gneisenau. The huge explosion directly penetrated the two decks and set a dozen or so fires on the fore deck. At a distance of 14 kilometers, the Gneisenau made a very good hit, and a shell hit the thick armor belt of the Stuppy!

The huge shell easily tore open the armor belt with a thickness of 12 inches like an armor-breaking cone, and went downwards, and finally plunged into the motor warehouse located at the rear of the middle and rear of the battleship! The flying motor and the shell had an intimate contact, and the huge "passion" directly blew the motor warehouse into the sky! A pillar of fire as high as ten meters rose into the air, and the bright flames instantly illuminated the cabin at the rear of the hull. However, compared with the upper deck full of flames, the lower deck at the middle and rear of the battleship was completely trapped in darkness, because this gun destroyed the power supply room of the middle and lower deck!

When the flames in the motor bay had not subsided, two shells flew from the Gneesenau hit the poor Japanese battleship again. One of them was shot from the bottom of the No. 2 turret. The 10-inch cannon armor could not resist this level of attack. The shells hitting the seams directly tear the entire armor plate and successfully ignited the shells and launching medicine bags on the ammunition stand behind!

In an instant, the dressing room under the No. 2 turret erupted like flames. Huge energy rushed upwards and entered the turret. With a shocking loud noise, the fragile place on the top of the turret was blown to pieces. The entire turret was like a giant beast that spitted flames. Flames and smoke gushed out from the top of the turret, under the cannon, and next to the rangefinder. The flowing flame spread on the deck like magma! Fortunately, the fire door on the side of the No. 2 turret led to the ammunition depot resisted the impact, allowing the warship to float on the water, but there is no doubt that this turret is completely ruined, and it is inevitable that the ammunition depot will be filled!

However, just as the Gneisenau beat the Oyster, the showdown between Yama Castle and Sharnhorst changed. The reason was very simple. The Japanese had switched power supply, and a backup generator began to provide electricity to the two turrets behind! The Yama Castle battleship, which has 9 15-inch guns, once again showed its power!

After getting closer, the Shancheng, which had recovered its firepower, made two hits in the eighth half-volley. Two armor-piercing shells weighing 871KG hit the side of the ship's side of the ship's ship. The first shell hit the connection between the bow armor belt and the main armor belt. This time, the British shell finally penetrated the transition zone between the two. The transition zone armor with a thickness of 10 inches was knocked out an almost piercing pit. The British had pushed another warhead that had been blown up and finally exploded through the armor belt! A radioactive bullet hole appeared in the part slightly upside the waterline. Due to collision and explosion, a crack of about 1 meter long appeared on the front armor belt!

The second shell hit the gallery of the Schánhorst, and directly removed a 150MM cannon and an 88MM anti-lightning gun. It caused a local fire. However, this strike was nothing to the Schánhorst. Less than a minute after the Japanese attacked the German warship, the Schánhorst changed its color, and two 350MM cannonballs roared at the Shancheng!

The No. 1 turret, which had already been brought, was hit again. The hit shot directly broke the other barrel of the No. 1 turret. The second shell once again added a fire to the scarred artillery of Shancheng. A dark bullet hole appeared at the connection between the artillery and the upper armor belt. The flying shrapnel blow a passing tube squad into a pile of minced meat.

The two flagships were killing each other. The Shancheng was indeed called heavy artillery and punches, but the hit rate of the Schonhorst was higher. At the same time, with the previous multiple hits, the two sides decided to tie the battle between the Fuso class and the Hurgren series battleship.

If this battle continues, the German Navy has begun to gradually gain an advantage. When will the Hokage be unable to withstand it? This battle will end with the collapse of the Japanese Navy. Yama Castle may still be able to leave, but the Hokage is definitely going to stay!
