Chapter 2590 Chaos

"The battle needs to continue. Today, the losses suffered by the Weimar will be doubled by the Japanese in the future! Therefore, General Redl, I hope you can consider the overall situation and help me complete today's battle. The coming battle will be even more bloody and cruel! We may lose more colleagues, but we have no choice today!" As the military chief, Su Xiong had already made the final decision when he said these words ! Subsequently, Su Xiong ordered the fleet to release smoke again and quickly evacuate the battlefield before the Japanese fleet could re-establish effective command!

"Damn it, what is Kantaro Suzuki doing?" Motaro Yoshimatsu said angrily. Just as Su Xiong and Redl were arguing over the fate of the Weimar, the Japanese fleet also had problems at this critical moment! Originally, according to Su Xiong's estimation, it might take 15 to 20 minutes for the Japanese to reestablish command. But now, Japan needs more time!

Because, just after the battleship Fuso restored communications, Shimamura Hayao and others suddenly discovered that the second battleship squadron had gone astray! After the battleship Ibuki withdrew from the battle due to injuries, the three Kongo-class battlecruisers stared closely at the Weimar. When the Weimar broke away from the formation and began to escape, the three Japanese battlecruisers that had already been red-eyed were in Kongo. The leader chased after him without saying a word! However, at this time, neither the main flagship Fuso nor the squadron flagship Ibuki could stop it!

So, now comes the problem. The Japanese fleet is no longer able to pursue the main force of the Suxiong fleet, which is releasing smoke and escaping. It's not that the remaining 6 Fuso-class battleships can't defeat the 3 Bavaria. It's not that the speed difference is too big, but Because, if Shigetaro Yoshimatsu continues to pursue Su Xiong, the Japanese fleet will be torn into two pieces, with the first battleship squadron pursuing Su Xiong, and three Kongo-class battlecruisers pursuing Weimar. One to the northeast and one to the northwest. By the way, there is still one Ibuki who is recovering at the same place! This is all messed up! It has to be said that Commodore von Muller's self-sacrifice played an important role and further disrupted the command and control of the Japanese fleet.

Well, if this kind of thing really happens, let’s not say whether the Japanese fleet can finally kill the Weimar. At least it will take a long time to gather the fleet again, and if the Americans are aware of the Japanese fleet’s exist. Then the future plan for the Japanese fleet must be catastrophic. The Benson fleet's carbine or the Americans starting to evacuate the transport fleet will have a huge impact on the Japanese fleet's mission tonight!

(Because Su Xiong’s crucial telegram just now was not sent out due to electronic interference, so at this time, the U.S. fleet is not aware of everything happening here. But as the battle continues, the risk of exposure will increase. The bigger.)

The so-called strategic disadvantage is difficult to make up for tactically. This is just like the Battle of Midway in history. After the Americans mastered the intelligence advantage, no matter how elite the Japanese naval aviation force was, they could not make up for it. For the same reason, today Betty relies on her outstanding After the battle operation successfully mobilized Benson's fleet, the moment he and Su Xiong met, Su Xiong was unable to confront Betty head-on despite his exquisite tactical operations.

However, because of Commodore von Muller's self-sacrifice, the German fleet made some slight gains at the operational level.

His actions caused greater confusion in the Japanese fleet's plan, and also gave Su Xiong's fleet sufficient time to adjust itself and continue to fight!

"What should we do?" Although Shigetaro Yoshimatsu was already a little dissatisfied with the unauthorized actions of the Second Fleet, he was also a little confused now. The three fast battleships directly under the Su Xiong fleet escaped with injuries. Have they lost their fighting capacity? No more fighting tonight? Yoshimatsu Motaro did not dare to confirm. And if the Japanese fleet turns around and kills the Weimar and then heads towards the Japanese landing site, does this seem to be a good choice? After all, looking at it now, the Weimar is not far away from the Japanese fleet.

"Let go of the German fleet and let's go!" Betty glanced at the three Japanese battlecruisers still chasing the Weimar and said with hatred.

"However, we have no reason to give up on the results in front of us. Maybe in just a few minutes, we can create history. The Imperial Japanese Navy is the first to sink a Bavaria-class battleship!" Hayao Shimamura was obviously moved.

"Yes, it is indeed a great honor to be able to kill a Bavaria-class battleship, but it is nothing compared to the results we should achieve tonight. Your Excellency, Commander, don't forget our strategy today Mission! Your decision is directly related to the gains and losses of New Ireland and the outcome of the Pacific War!" Betty said loudly. In the eyes of outsiders, he performed even more powerfully than the commander of the Combined Fleet, Shigetaro Yoshimatsu! He really doesn't want to stay on this battlefield anymore.

Because there is no point in staying now. Su Xiong's fleet has lost pursuit. Now it is obviously impossible to catch the opponent again. Before, the Japanese fleet was able to catch Su Xiong because Su Xiong's fleet sent a telegram. Then the Japanese fleet confirmed the position through radio direction finding, and then the Japanese fleet used a large number of destroyers and seaplanes to form a search line to catch the opponent.

But now, Su Xiong will definitely not send another report easily, and more than a dozen of his destroyers have been damaged! The seaplane also needs to be recovered and refueled with flares. All this takes time. Now, the reconnaissance power of the Japanese fleet has been severely weakened. It is undoubtedly a fantasy to find the Su Xiong fleet that has hidden in the night. Moreover, so what if it is captured again? Does the Japanese fleet really want to fight with the Japanese fleet? Su Xiong's fleet engaged in a pursuit battle all night? What are you thinking about? This is obviously a big loss for the Japanese!

So, if possible, Betty really wants to say something to Su Xiong through some kind of mysterious power, otherwise let's just do this tonight, I will let the Weimar go, and you guys won't cause any trouble to me. ?

But it was obvious that Motaro Yoshimatsu hesitated at this moment. He did not refute Betty's opinion, but he also did not immediately order the second battleship squadron to retract. Instead, he used the excuse that he needed to recover the seaplanes and retract the fleet and waited in place. And this kind of behavior makes Betty jump up and down! From Betty's point of view, this is obviously doing big things without cherishing one's own life, and seeing small profits and forgetting one's life! In fact, this kind of thing also happened in Japanese history. For example, in history, after Mikawa severely damaged the American fleet in the Battle of Savo Island, he let go of the nearby transport fleet! There is nothing wrong with the Japanese tradition!
