    The battleship Fuso is a relatively old battleship.

    Neon is a Fuso-class battleship started in 1912.

    He has undergone two major modifications in total.

    Its standard displacement is about 34,700 tons, and its full load displacement is about 39,000 tons.

    It is a battleship with weak combat effectiveness within the Neon Navy.  His 356mm main naval gun was vulnerable to the 410mm main naval gun of the Nagato and the 460mm main naval gun of the Yamato class.

    This is also the reason why it was not sent to the Pacific battlefield, because its combat effectiveness is not strong, and the Pacific battlefield is very important and requires an elite navy.  So it stays inside the neon.

    Although it was not sent to the Pacific battlefield and stayed at home, today, it still cannot escape the fate of sinking.

    When the Nagato battleship was being ravaged by torpedo planes and dive bombers, the Fuso was also being besieged by torpedo planes and dive bombers.

    However, because there were more torpedo planes and dive bombers besieging the Nagato, the Nagato was killed first.

    At this time, the Fuso also suffered a disaster.

    The sinking of the Nagato heralded the end of the era of battleship supremacy, and the torpedo planes and dive bombers that besieged the Nagato battleship also began to besiege the remaining Ise and Fuso battleships.

    Colonel Kinoshita Mitsuo, the current captain of the battleship Fuso, was as pale as Hero Colonel Yano at this time.

    The battleship Fuso has been hit by five torpedoes.  The speed has now dropped from 24 knots to 12 knots.

    Five out of ten boilers were stalled.

    "What should we do now, Colonel?"

    A staff officer stood behind Kinoshita Mitsuo and asked loudly.

    "Retreat! Execute Commander Rare Book's order and retreat!"

    Mu Xin Sanxiong gritted his teeth and said.  At this time, he could only pray that he could evacuate, otherwise the Fuso would suffer the same fate as the Nagato.

    "Ha~yi~"

    Heartless!  Now this sentence can be said to be most suitable when applied to Kinoshita Mitsuo.

    The speed of 12 knots is 12 nautical miles per hour, 21 kilometers.

    This speed can be said to be extremely slow.

    Some torpedo planes seemed to have seen an opportunity again. They began to slowly approach the battleship Fuso, and dive bombers in the sky were also constantly covering the torpedo planes' operations.

    The four twin-mounted anti-aircraft guns on the Fuso battleship looked so pale and helpless in front of these aircraft groups.

    "Boom~"

    Another aerial bomb hit the battleship Fuso.

    Kinoshita Mitsuo felt like his heart had been hit hard by a heavy hammer.

    Looking at the thick smoke billowing in the air, a look of helplessness flashed across Kinoshita Mitsuo's eyes.

    "Torpedo! Avoid!"

    At this moment, a staff officer shouted in panic.

    Kinoshita Mitsuo lowered his head and looked at the sea. More than a dozen torpedoes were shooting at the battleship Fuso with long waves.

    Neon Navy Combined Fleet

    "Mr. Zenbon, the Nagato has been sunk. Hero Colonel Yano has fainted. Now he has been transferred to other ships.

    In addition, the situation of the battleships Fuso and Ise is not good either.  Half of their boilers had been turned off, and their speed had dropped to a dozen knots.  Under siege by the Chinese Air Force!  "

    Ozawa Saburo stood behind the rare book and said with a sad face.

    Nagato, one of the Seven Giants of Navy Holidays, has been a spiritual symbol of neon for a long time.

    Even now, the Nagato is a very important battleship to Neon.  Highly regarded within Neon Navy.

    The rare book didn¡¯t say anything, so pay attention to the silence.

    After a while, he moved, and his body seemed to be a little stiff.

    "How is the situation of our aviation force?"

    "Not good! Hundreds of Chinese Zero fighters have participated in the battle, leaving us in a very passive situation. If our aviation hadn't completely lost its defense line, their aerial bombs would still be on our aircraft carrier!"

    Ozawa Saburo¡¯s words made the rare book silent again.  Sometimes he asked himself, should he not gamble like this?

    One wrong step, one wrong step!

    It¡¯s conceivableWhen he arrived at China's East China Sea Fleet, he felt powerless again.  Without gambling, they would not even have a chance to survive.

    If you gamble, at least there is a glimmer of hope.

    "Order the fleet to retreat! Stop entangled with the Chinese."

    Rare Ben has decided to retreat, and there is no point in continuing to fight here.

    "Ha~yi~"

    The combined fleet wants to retreat?  No!  Retreat, they cannot retreat.

    It was five o'clock in the afternoon on June 25, 1942. At five o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was not getting dark yet, but the sun was definitely setting.

    The Neon Navy Combined Fleet began to retreat slowly. As for the three battleships in front, no!  With two battleships, they couldn't control that much anymore.  It was impossible to put the entire fleet in just for those two battleships.

    But their retreat is very difficult and even full of unknowns.

    Because there is a fleet in front of them blocking them.

    A team of two battleships, three heavy cruisers, eight light cruisers and more than 20 destroyers blocked them here.

    "Two battleships? Three heavy cruisers? And other types of ships?"

    When Rare Ben received the news of the reconnaissance plane, he was stunned.

    "Master Shanben, China has a fleet of battleships. According to the empire's intelligence, only their East China Sea Fleet and North Sea Fleet have it!"

    Ozawa Saburo said from the side.

    "East China Sea Fleet? It seems that it should be so!"

    ?? Shan Ben sighed.

    In fact, he was right. This fleet was indeed dispatched from the East China Sea Fleet.  Although the aircraft carriers of the East China Sea Fleet were restrained by the aircraft from the Neon Army's sea-based airport, the battleships were not.

    They received the order from the fleet at noon today and began to go south to support the naval battle in the Ryukyu Islands.

    Now the Neon Army¡¯s combined fleet has finally been blocked.

    The current combined fleet of the Neon Army can be said to be at its weakest since its establishment, and it is also the time when it has the least resistance.

    All the aircraft on the two aircraft carriers were dispatched. They planned to use the three battleships as pioneers and the torpedo planes and dive bomber formations as support to attack the southern fleet. Who knew that they were caught off guard by the Chinese reinforcements.  None of the torpedo planes or dive bombers escaped.

    Now, the only ones in the entire combined fleet that still have combat effectiveness are the Yamato battleship and some heavy cruisers.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
