"Sir, you've caught up with it. The lightning strike detachment has completed the torpedo attack and released all the torpedoes." Xinz said excitedly, but his expression dimmed immediately. "Our army suffered a lot of losses. First, the enemy destroyer troops intercepted, and then the enemy's main troops' artillery intercepted, which lost at least one-third of its power."

"Let the lightning strike troops return to the team and prepare to salvage the officers and soldiers who fell into the water." Mashar added expressionlessly, "Arson attacking the detachment, attack!"

At 4:21, the raindrop-like shells landed on the destroyer unit behind the US military. The large-caliber 380 and 381mm naval guns, not to mention being hit, even if they were hit, were enough to sink the US destroyer. Although the opponent tried his best to fight back and release torpedoes, it was obvious that this night-fighting lightning tactic was not suitable for the Americans. The new young sailors who had not been launched for a long time and had not long mastered the warships could not show their combat effectiveness. In the end, they were forcibly forced to break out by the German main fleet. The Veneto, who was leading the way, even sank a dying Killing-class destroyer regardless of the time, had no time to detour or fire.

With three battleships as the rest of the troops quickly followed.

On another battlefield, the Schánhorst, which was chasing at high speed, was launching unprecedented bloody killings. Although the other two seriously injured aircraft carriers and destroyers accompanied by the two ships tried their best to resist, they were still not opponents of the Schánhorst.

Schanehorst, who has been positioned as a maritime attack ship since his birth, not only has a strange speed, but also has a weapon torpedo that is extremely disproportionate to the displacement. On the dark night, the 380mm naval gun sprayed rage while also emptied all two triple torpedo launch tubes.

When the first round of volley shells hit the Antitan, the Essex-class aircraft carrier exploded with an extremely violent explosion. The entire hull was blown up like a hornet's nest. Then the second round of volleys followed one after another, hitting the wreckage and directly turning it into primitive and crushed parts. The regular organization of more than 2,000 people in the entire warship was organized, and only 13 people survived.

In just 67 minutes, the Schanehorst sent three US aircraft carriers and four destroyers into the seabed, and then moved closer to the main force like crazy. He became the battleship with the most sinking aircraft carriers in the world and killed 4! It set an unprecedented world record!

The captain was very dissatisfied with this result. If Schánhorst was equipped with the 9 283mm high-speed flicker guns, the completion speed would be a little faster today. Although 380mm is much more powerful than 283mm, the rate of fire and accuracy have decreased. There is actually no difference between using 283 and using 380 for aircraft carriers that have no resistance.

"Ship guns are fired, aim at Iowa class and fire!"

At 4:54, the fleet commanded by Mashar finally caught up with the scarred and few remaining US fleets. The hot main guns began to show their power. The sea was boiling, and there were whistling sounds, explosions and water columns of various colors everywhere.

The New Jersey desperately fought back with a 406mm naval gun. Although the Iowa class was very strong, the good tiger could not hold a group of wolves, not to mention that the tiger was still suffering a lot of trauma. After 11 minutes, the three German ships had completely locked their opponents and launched a volley of all ships. With three rounds of volleys, a total of 21 380 or 381mm shells were sent to the seabed.

Gneesenau immediately opened fire at the unsinkable Philippines. The weak Alaska-class battle patrol could not withstand the crushing of any axle main battleship, but still resisted tenaciously until the last minute. When the entire warship was almost completely sunk, the tail turret also fired the last round of volleys, giving Roma a heavy blow, almost breaking through the opponent's main armor belt.

After the Schánhorst completed the encirclement from the flank, the entire naval battle was completely unsurprising. Mitchell's flagship was also caught up and destroyed by the German army. When the captain announced his abandonment of the ship in tears, facing the staff's request for retreat, Mitchell smiled tragically: "I said that if the ship is there, you can live well and avenge me in the future!"

After saying that, he pushed Hewitt, who wanted to accompany him, pushed the latter onto the retreat lifeboat in one breath, and shouted: "You can't die, you must remember to avenge me!"

When the news of the entire fleet being almost destroyed and the farewell telegram from Mitchell on behalf of the Atlantic Fleet, everyone was stunned. Spruins was even more distressed. The furious Halsey pinched Turner's neck, dragged him to the corner, and cursed: "It's all your bad ideas, look, look!"

Turner struggled without any slight struggle, and just smiled bitterly: "William, I didn't mean it. If Mitchell didn't think so, would my words work? Don't you think the fight was pretty good before you start tonight?"

"you?!"

Nimitz suppressed the dispute between the two: "It's almost dawn, let the Air Force destroy these German warships."

Arnold nodded: "The Air Force has taken off the first wave of aircraft 15 minutes ago, and subsequent aircraft are taking off one after another."

"Be sure to leave them all near Puerto Rico!"

"But" Arnold smiled bitterly, "Before dawn today, the German army came to bomb again and destroyed many facilities!"

"Damn it."

Nimitz glared at Arnold: "I don't care what you do. In the end, we must launch a full-scale attack today. Mitchell and the Atlantic Fleet cannot be sacrificed in vain."

"I understand, I understand"

Dewey, who had been waiting for news all night at the Joint Conference, was trembling after receiving the report on the battle situation. When he stood up, his face was pale and his body was shaking, as if he had become 20 years old overnight.

He wanted to ask about his next strategy, but suddenly he fainted in a dizzy manner and was rushed to the hospital by an ambulance.

"retreat!"

After chasing for a night, facing the Dongfang, which gradually turned white, Mashar issued a loud order: "Fleet formation, air defense formation! Retreat at full speed!"

The thrilling pursuit achieved a shocking result. The remaining three battleships of the US military were sunk in battle patrols, only one of the six aircraft carriers escaped, and the other cruisers also suffered almost complete losses. The Germans only paid 2 cruisers, 7 destroyers and 6 S boats.

The sky began to brighten, and everyone looked very serious, but when 128 air defense fighters rushed to the sea, there was warm applause on the sea. Everyone knew that chasing was not a difficult task, but a rare retreat was a safe retreat.

The night belongs to the Germans, but it is hard to say during the day
