As planned, our forces moved in from the Nagasaki to Stokes then toward LD-14.
The Bretonia Armed Forces defense line engaged us near halfway, they were expeting us as it should be.
That station is of great strategical importance and they will fight hard for it,
I recommend a more consistent capital deployement the next time.
The Takamatsu opened fire on the enemy destroyer, the 'Replulse', while our figher wing engaged enemy fighters preventing them to focus our destroyer.
Unfortunately during the engagement a second Armed Forces destroyer, the 'Major_Triton_Abyss', entered the fight and unloaded a huge salvo on our proud Takamatsu hull that was then put out of order from a lucky shot of the 'Repulse'.
The 'Major_Triton_Abyss' was eventually caught into the explosion as they were firing too close and had to retreat.
After some minutes I could hear the 'Mikuzuki' emergency signal but at my second pass over the last gunboat know place there were only debris and some escape pods.
At this point our cargo holds were looking quite full and when we lost the third fighter I pulled the retreat to Stokes and then to the Nagasaki,
Bretonians were chasing us but disengaged with the Nagasaki approach.
Some things of notable interest.
Mr. Leo and Aeris onboard the Silent.Night, were of great help in pointing out enemy weaknesses and with their help we took out an enemy fighter.
Too bad I had to pay for it but it was worth the price, the Silent.Night stood still covering our retreat and even after we were gone,
they managed to get out alive escaping a big number of enemy ships. I'm glad they've made it.
I have noticed Kato Terada is still a Shōi, he performed well and I am recommending him for a promotion.
That ... of Ramey took out 2 of our fighters while being continuosly targeted, we should consider a special attention for him the next time.
