In the German fleet, the gun-sighting radars on several battlecruisers have started to operate. After the radar soldiers detected the main ship of the ind nation''s navy, they obtained specific data and fed it back to the main turrets. The main turret is constantly turning to adjust the firing position.


    With the speed advantage of the German fleet, they have already seized a favorable shooting position. Although it is not a real T prefix, all five battlecruisers can aim their main guns at the leading battleship in the ind nation''s fleet.


    "Your Excellency, the distance between the two sides is now 25 kilometers. Soon, we will be discovered by the detection radar of the ind navy." The captain of the battlecruiser ''Blücher'' reported.


    Lieutenant General Otto Schneewendt nodded. He knew that if the distance was further shortened, the hit rate of the main gun could indeed be improved. But at the same time, that will also bring great risks to the fleet. The spear torpedoes of the ind navy are very threatening.


    "Order our destroyer formation to be ready to meet the destroyers of the inders at any time! They must not be allowed tounch torpedoes calmly!" Lieutenant General Otto Schneewendt ordered.


    If the destroyer of the ind navy is found approaching, in order to avoid being hit by a torpedo, they have to turn in advance to avoid it. Although the performance of the spear torpedo of the ind navy is very superior, it is world-leading in terms of range, speed, and warhead charge. However, it is not so easy to hit the enemy''s high-speed warships in naval battles. After all, with a maximum range of 22,000 meters at a speed of 50 knots, it would take 13 minutes for the torpedo to sail 22,000 meters. These times are enough for the battleship to turn to evade. Therefore, when the navy of the ind countryunches a lightning strike, it will also shorten theunch distance as much as possible. In this case, the hit rate can be greatly improved.


    "Yes, Your Excellency Commander. The destroyer formation is on standby!" Rear Admiral Abraham replied with a serious face. He also knew how dangerous the next battle would be. Although the German navy has a great advantage, the inders are not powerless to fight back. Once the opportunity is seized by the inders, the German navy will also pay an extremely heavy price.


    The German Navy hopes to win this naval battle, but it does not want to suffer major damage. Especially capital ships, it is best not to lose a single one, in that case, it would be great. After all, the Japanese navy will soon have more powerful battleships in service. The German Navy''s Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet have not received support in this regard for a long time.


    "Order the ships to fire!" Lieutenant General Otto Schneewent gave the order to fire.


    "Boom! Boom! Boom!"


    The three triple-mounted 50-caliber 380mm main guns of the battlecruiser ''Blücher'' took the lead in shelling. Under the guidance of the gun-sighting radar, nine armor-piercing projectiles weighing one ton roared and mmed into the battleships of the Japanese navy. That battleship was none other than the battleship ''Suruga'', the gship of the battleship battleship of the ind nation''s naval task force.


    After the battlecruisers ''Blücher'' opened fire, the battlecruisers ''Von der Tann'' and ''Leopold'' followed, and ''Derfflinger'' The remaining two battleships among the "ss" battlecruisers, namely the battlecruiser "Lützow" and the battlecruiser "Hindenburg", also started shelling.


    For a moment, the 45 380mm main guns of the five battlecruisers frantically poured shells at the battleship ''Suruga''.


    The flying speed of the shell has already exceeded the speed of sound. So much so that when the shells hit, a violent explosion urred, and then a high water column was sshed, the ind fleet realized that it had been attacked.


    Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro''splexion suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.


    "Baga! We were ambushed by the Germans! They have assembled arge number of capital ships and are attacking us!" Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro cursed. Although he had expected it before, the German fleet would definitely appear this time. It is very likely that a fierce battle will break out between the two sides. However, being attacked by the German fleet now still makes him very angry.


    "Your Excellency, the German warship is beyond our radar detection range. However, the destroyer on the periphery reported that the German fleet has been spotted. It is more than 20 kilometers away from us!" Rear Admiral Suzuki Yoshio reported.


    "Order the ships, increase the speed, and shorten the distance between us and the Germans!" Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro ordered.


    Now that it has encountered the German fleet, it seems that the ind nation''s fleet has no other choice but to fight. Therefore, they can only pin their hopes on defeating the German fleet.


    "Hi, Your Excellency Commander!" Major General Suzuki Yoshio replied.


    Facing the heavy bombardment of the German fleet, the ind nation''s fleet began to adjust its formation. Four capital ships lined up in battle line. At the same time, by speeding up and turning, an attempt was made to narrow the distance with the German fleet.


    The currentbat distance is more than 20 kilometers away. Even the German fleet with the help of artillery targeting radar is very difficult to hit the target at this distance, let alone the ind fleet without the assistance of artillery targeting radar. . If they were firing at that distance, it would be no different than wasting shells.


    "Boom! Boom! Boom!"


    The five battlecruisers of the German fleet are pouring shells. They hope to seize this opportunity and first severely damage a capital ship of the ind fleet. In this case, they will be able to gain a greater advantage in the battle. However, it is indeed difficult to hit a target more than 20 kilometers away. Even with the assistance of artillery sighting radar, it is difficult toplete.


    "General, the distance between us and the inders has been shortened to less than 20 kilometers!" Major General Abraham reminded.


    Lieutenant Admiral Otto Schneewendt nodded: "Closely monitor the destroyers and light cruisers of the inders! Once you find that they have signs of lightning strikes, immediately dispatch the destroyer formation. At the same time, the capital ship immediately turns to avoid it!"


    Even after the attack started, Lieutenant General Otto Schneewendt was still very concerned about the destroyer formation and light cruiser formation of the ind navy, for fear that they wouldunch a lightning strike. The performance of the 610mm spear torpedo is really crazy. Compared with the torpedoes used by the U.S. Navy and the spear torpedoes of the ind navy, the gap is very obvious. Even the German Navy, although it has started research in this area, has not yet achieved sess. The equipped 533mm heavy torpedo is a bit worse than the spear torpedo in terms of range, rate of fire, and power.
