"What should we do? Should we support the front fleet or the Mecklenburg?" asked the deputy captain next to him.

"Give me two minutes, I need to think about it." Colonel Kimmel said.

This time, the Ibuki horn explosion did not pay much attention to the Japanese, because the battle had entered a white-hot temperature at this time. After the Nevada was resolved, the Gaobo was extinguishing the fire and would soon return to the battlefield. At the front of the front line, the US fleet was gradually collapsed. After a hard battle, the Nagamon finally gradually pressed on the New Mexico and forced the latter to death step by step!

"Storm up! Get close to us and we can break through the opponent's armor!" New Mexico always wanted to get closer in this duel so that it could tear open the opponent's armor, but the Nagato battleship always maintained a certain distance under the cover of the destroyer.

However, the flagship of the Japanese Joint Fleet is also in poor condition. In addition to the large amount of ammunition consumption, Nagato was also bruised and wounded by the Americans, especially in the melee stage. Although at the beginning of the war, the New Mexico performed poorly at long distance due to fire control system problems, after getting closer, as many as 12 14-inch cannons still left a deep "impression" on the Nagato. Both physically and psychologically!

"If we only talk about the firepower projection density, the Americans' standard battleships are definitely at the front line level. The main gun projection per unit time is not worse than our Nagato-class battleships and Fuso-class battleships. Their ammunition supply system is very advanced and can maintain the fastest firing of more than 2 per minute. The number of up to 12 artillery must not be underestimated, because the distance is too close and the New Mexico was not severely hit at the beginning, so in the final stage of the battle, even Nagato-class battleships were more difficult in close combat." After the war, senior Japanese Navy's standard battleships were affordable to the Americans.

However, the projection is only one aspect after all. The American's 14-inch gun's armor-piercing ability is 2 levels lower than that of the Nagamon! The defense is even worse. Therefore, in the final stage of the battle, although the Nagamon was hit by at least 10 or more 10, the entire hull's waterline was covered with scars, and even caused a certain degree of inclination because at least 3 shells were hit in the front of the hull. However, in the end, the Nagamon's 16-inch gun still knocked on the heavy armor of the New Mexico again and again, and smashed the internal organs of the giant beast! After repeated heavy blows, the Japanese finally waited for the final fatal blow!

New Mexico took the final charge. When it barely narrowed the distance to 9ooo meters, a 14-inch shell accurately hit the main mast of Nagamon and smashed it into two pieces, a 16-inch shell pierced the ammunition depot under New Mexico 2 turret! The depth of the shell hit at a vertical angle had far exceeded the defense standards of New Mexico.

The armor as thick as 135 inches was cut open, and then the next door made of thin steel plates at the back. Finally, the shell pierced through all defenses and entered the No. 2 ammunition depot of New Mexico, where there were at least three-digit shells and dozens of tons of injection drugs. All of this would be irrescue!

A dazzling spot appeared in the middle of the hull of New Mexico, which could be clearly observed with the naked eye even ten kilometers away. The entire battleship was cut in half by a huge explosion! The hull was like being grabbed by a pair of big hands and twisted and torn. With the explosion of distance, a large amount of thick smoke and fire filled the sea surface, and even drowned the dying hull. Explosions kept coming from the smoke. In just a few minutes, the sea surface near New Mexico was covered by rolling smoke. When the smoke dissipated after more than ten minutes, there was no shadow of New Mexico on the sea surface! In this explosion, no one in the entire New Mexico crew survived!

"Finally, we won the war." Shigetaro Yoshimatsu completely relaxed. He felt that the Japanese Combined Fleet had locked in the victory. The Japanese Combined Fleet sank four fearless ships of the US Navy with one Ibuki and one Hiei, including the latest 16-inch artillery battleship! This deal was simply profitable!

Since the battle has been underway, there are 7 of the 11 battleships of the US Navy, and 13 battleships of the Japanese Navy have not only withdrawn from the battle against the Kwang and the two battleships that have sunk too early! This advantage is already great. At least Shigetaro Yoshimatsu believes that as long as he works harder, he will achieve the most brilliant victory in the history of the Japanese Navy. Even if it is placed in the world, only the German high seas fleet in the Norwegian naval battle can be compared?

"Maybe, after this battle, the Americans might consider making peace?" At this time, Shigetaro Yoshimatsu was already a little drifting! However, although the advantages of the Japanese Navy were further magnified, in fact, it was still a certain distance from the victory that Shigetaro Yoshimatsu thought.

"Why did the shooting fall? Hurry up and find a new target to attack!" Yoshimatsu Shigetaro felt something was wrong with Nagato, so he ordered.

"The Nagato ammunition has been almost consumed. We have fought with too many enemies today, and the armor-piercing bullets have been exhausted." said an officer.

"What a joke? If I remember correctly, this time, the 85 ammunition in the Nagamon ammunition depot will be armor-piercing bullets." Shigetaro Yoshimatsu said in a daze.

"Yes, it's all gone." The officer's words made Shigetaro Yoshimatsu stunned.

"Damn it, if I want to design the next-level battleship, I will ask for the expansion of the ammunition depot." Yoshimatsu Shigetaro cursed in a low voice. Although the Nagamon finally killed New Mexico, the Nagamon's combat power was not much left. This made Yoshimatsu Shigetaro's joy instantly dispersed most of the time. However, what he didn't know was that the worst thing in this war would soon be born!

"Hold the grass, what's the situation?" At this time, the battleship Tosa was ushering in the darkest moment of his life. The battle with the Mecklenburg battleship had already left him at a loss, but at this moment, another fearless man pointed the muzzle at the Tosa! So under the attack of the two strong men, the Tosa could not bear it anymore! It began to retreat, dodge, and began to hide itself with smoke. Even the Fusang next to it had several cannons to support the Tosa, but the shadow of the god of death always enveloped the Japanese fearless man.
