"Da Da Da! Da-da-da-da! Dadada......"

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble ......"

The battleship Iot of Task Force 18 is firing with four 127 mm guns, four 40 mm guns, and three 20 mm guns.

But even after it launched the most all-out counterattack, the rockets and torpedoes of the German aircraft group hit its left side after it had sailed 1,800 meters, and there was a huge explosion, but the battle did not end there, because the German submarine forces also fired a number of spear torpedoes at it in succession, and the battleship Ioot, which had been heavily damaged, gave the final fatal blow, and sank into the sea, never to see the light of day.

Another New Jersey battleship also fiercely responded to the attacks of the German carrier-based aircraft groups that were getting denser and denser with 20 and 40 mm guns, but their counterattack was unable to stop the menacing attack of the German army, nor did they have a way to shoot down more German carrier-based aircraft, especially for those noses that could be equipped with four 20 mm "Colt" cannons, each with 85 rounds of ammunition; With two weapon pylons on each side of the fuselage for four Sidewinder air-to-air missiles, or eight F-8D fighters for 127mm damping rockets, they are even slower and less lethal.

Moreover, the German Do 217 and He-177 heavy bombers continued to drop 500 kg bombs to carry out indiscriminate bombing.

As well as the ferocious wolf attack of the German I-400 series submarine group, the entire 18 task force aircraft carrier fleet was under the overwhelming attack of the German army and was gradually being annihilated.

In less than half an hour of fighting, the entire 18th Task Force Aircraft Carrier Fleet was left with only one light aircraft carrier and several battleships, and as for those destroyers and other ships, they had all been annihilated by the German submarine forces and aircraft groups, and they were all sunk in the sea, and not many crew members could survive or escape.

"Captain Ante! Our battle situation is getting worse and worse, should we evacuate immediately! If we continue to fight like this, we will be completely wiped out here, the Germans have too many planes and submarines, and their aircraft carrier fleet has many more ships left than us! ”

"We are now at a complete disadvantage, if we don't retreat immediately, or if reinforcements come to help, then we won't have any chance to escape except to die in battle!"

"Please make the right decision, the lives of all of us on the ship are in your hands!"

Just when the situation of the battle was becoming more and more irretrievable, on the battleship South Dakos, the adjutant Grubs turned pale and said in a panic to Captain Migru, who was still directing in the command room of the battleship.

"Our reinforcements will arrive soon, this is what Commander Cunningham sent to us by telegram, and he told us to hold out until reinforcements arrive, so no matter how inferior the current battle is, we can't retreat!"

"Otherwise, if the above blames it, then even if we can evacuate now, we will be sent to a military court as a deserter and punished!"

"I'd rather die on the battlefield than be disposed of as a deserter, because for I can't afford to lose face in the Navy of the United States of America!"

"What's more, we have to ask the Germans for the sacrifice of our comrades who were sunk in the sea!"

"God will bless us, for we are now fighting for a just cause, and the final victory will be ours!"

Hearing this, the captain Migru replied with blazing eyes and righteousness.

At this time, the 127mm guns of his battleship South Dakos were aimed at a Do 217 and fired fiercely, and soon shot down the German bomber at 180 degrees, at a distance of more than 4,000 meters, and at an altitude of 200 meters, and sank into the sea.

"Good! Good shot down! That's how we're going to fight back, damn Germans! Now we finally know how good we are! I know God will bless us! God willing! ”

Seeing this, Captain Migrew suddenly recovered from his sluggish negativity and clapped his hands happily.

And the adjutant Gebus, who was still worried just now beside him, also had a flash in his eyes and became excited.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......"

But at this moment, five spear torpedoes also quickly hit the bottom of the battleship South Dakos, causing it to explode violently, and quickly break in two, and quickly sink into the sea.

In response, Captain Migrew closed his eyes in pain and waited helplessly for death to come, while Adjutant Gobbs fled from Captain Migrew in horror and wanted to find a lifeboat to leave.

It's a pity that before he could run far, he was bombed and turned into scum by the heavy aerial bombs dropped by the German bomber group.

And the 18th Task Force Aircraft Carrier Formation has only one light aircraft carrier without many carrier-based aircraft, and two battleships.

But their reinforcements were delayed, because their reinforcements, the one to which Marcos belonged, were now in danger of securing themselves.

Because Marcos's aircraft carrier fleet is also being attacked by the German aircraft group, the aircraft carrier fleet, and the submarine fleet, the situation is also worrying.

Marcos, who had just had an uncontrollable expression, was now in a panic directing his battleships to dodge and counter the ferocious and dense attacks of the German bomber group.
