In the South China Sea, a huge fleet is cruising along the coastline of northern Borneo. This huge fleet has dozens of warships,rge and small. The most core warships are five huge battleships. These are two "Derfflinger-ss" battlecruisers drawn from the German Navy''s Pacific Fleet and three "Blücher-ss" battlecruisers drawn from the Indian Ocean Fleet.


    On the periphery are cruisers and destroyers. There are a lot of heavy cruisers and light cruisers, and almost half of the cruisers in the battleship formations of the Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet have been transferred. The number of heavy cruisers in the fleet has reached 12, and the number of light cruisers has reached 20. In terms of destroyers, there are more than 30 ships.


    The reason why the fleet is equipped with so many small and medium-sized warships is, on the one hand, for air defense considerations, and on the other hand, for mine protection considerations. In thest naval battle, although the losses of the navy of the ind country were greater than that of the German navy. However, the four aircraft carriers of the 1st Aircraft Carrier Squadron of the Japanese Navy were not damaged. After supplementing the carrier-based aircraft and pilots, it still poses a very big threat to the German Navy. At the same time, the lightning strikesunched by the destroyers of the Japanese navy also left people with lingering fears. In particr, ording to the information obtained by Germany, the Type 93 torpedoes equipped on arge scale by the ind nation''s navy, that is, the spear torpedoes, are so powerful that the German navy had to make preparations in this regard. After all, a torpedo with a caliber of 610 mm, without even thinking about it, possesses amazing power.


    Hundreds of kilometers behind this huge fleet is a battle groupposed of two aircraft carriers of the German Navy''s Pacific Fleet. Their task is naturally to prevent the fleet from being attacked by the carrier-based aircraft of the ind navy, and if there is an opportunity, tounch an attack on the ind navy. The German Navy believes that when the army of the ind country cannot gain an advantage on thend battlefield, the navy of the ind country will definitely be dispatched. In order to avoid major casualties and at the same time assist the army to win this battle, the German navy must contribute its own strength.


    Responsible formanding this operation is the battleship formationmander of the German Navy''s Indian Ocean Fleet, Otto Schneewent, and the Pacific Fleet''s aircraft carrier formationmander, Lieutenant General William Canaris.


    Among them, Lieutenant General Otto Schneewent was in charge ofmanding the capital ship formation operations. Lieutenant General William Canaris is responsible formanding the aircraft carrier formation operations. The two cooperated with each other to ensure that the German Navy could once again win the naval battle.


    The results of thest naval battle were generally dissatisfied with the German Navy. Although they sank more capital ships and aircraft carriers of the ind navy than they lost. However, if the loss of shore-based aviation is added, the loss of the German Navy is actually not much smaller than that of the ind navy. This also made the officers and soldiers of the German Navy suffocate in their hearts, wanting to defeat the ind navy in one fell swoop in the next confrontation andpletely win the naval battle.


    Of course, the ind navy may also have the same mentality. The disastrous defeat of the ind navy in thest naval battle put the ind navy under great pressure. If they cannot defeat the German navy and reverse the situation, it will be very difficult for the ind nation to win this naval battle. It is precisely because of this that the navy of the ind country is doing its best to win the war.


    On the battlecruiser ''Blücher'', Lieutenant General Otto Schneewendt was talking with his chief of staff, Major General Abraham.


    The chief of staff of the battleship formation of the Indian Ocean Fleet, Major General Abraham, and themander of the 23rd Heavy Artillery Brigade under the 23rd Army, Major General Abraham, have the same surname, and they are brothers. It''s just that one is in the navy and the other is in the army. But both of them are now fighting in Nanyang, and they can be regarded as brothers working together to fight for the empire.


    "The navy of the ind country didn''t show upst night. So, will they show up tonight?" Lieutenant General Otto Schneewendt asked.


    The German navy is undoubtedly already ready for a decisive battle with the ind navy. Butst night, it was empty, which disappointed the German fleet.


    "General, this is not clear. However, as long as the war continues. As long as the inders want to break through the army''s defense line, then their navy will definitely appear. Without the support of the ind navy, the ind army wants to It is almost impossible to tear apart the defense line of our army. They will even pay a higher price. Therefore, relying on the fire support of the navy has be the only option for the army of the ind country. ording to the information we have obtained , In the battle yesterday and today, the 18th Army of the Ind Army has lost more than 30,000 people. With so many people dead, the Ind Navy must not be able to sit still." Major General Abraham said.


    Lieutenant General Otto Schneewendt nodded: "The ind nation''s military superiority is too obvious. However, they are all fresh lives! Therefore, it is naturally impossible for them to squander their military power recklessly like this. Let the officers and soldiers get ready, maybe we will fight the inders soon. Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow night, in short, this naval battle is inevitable."


    "Yes, General. This naval battle is inevitable." Major General Abraham said.


    Moreover, both of them guessed that in order to avoid the attack of the Luftwaffe, the possibility of the ind nation''s fleetunching an attack at night is very high. Therefore, the German fleet also needs to rush to the waters near Beaufort at night to provide protection for the army. Evacuate until after dawn.


    The speed of the German fleet is not fast, but it can ensure that they will enter the sea not far from Beaufort after nightfall. A warship equipped with radar can search the nearby sea area to ensure that once the ind fleet appears, it will not be able to escape.


    While the German fleet was rushing to the waters near Beaufort, the ind nation''s fleet was also heading south rapidly. It still adopts the tactic of the main fleet at the front and the aircraft carrier at the rear. After all, aircraft carriers cannot take off carrier-based aircraft to fight at night. Once the enemy''s capital ship gets close, it will be dead. Therefore, the ind nation''s fleet is also cautious, protecting these precious aircraft carriers as much as possible.


    The aircraft carrier ''Ibuki'' serves as the gship of the ind nation''s naval task force. However, in the battle at night, the role yed by the aircraft carrier is very limited. Therefore, the main order was given by Lieutenant Admiral Takasu Shiro, themander of the battleship battle group. The Japanese navy is also looking forward to the miracle that Lieutenant Admiral Takasu Shiro will perform again this time.
