As the Warspite began to turn towards the Kongo, the ship itself would make a full 180 turn, taking the chance to split from formation as the Kongo and Hiei soon split up and began to move in from both sides, firing full broadsides at the Warspite. Most shells would either miss or hit the more armored parts of the Kongo. As a shell pierced her armor, it seemed normal for a moment before a massive detonated blew a turret into the air. "Turret 3 hit! Where's the damage control!" Another explosion would further damage the rear cannon, reducing it's effective rate of fire. Despite this, the Kongo would continue to return fire with all weapons, including AA units, before eventually turning away. The Hiei however, continued firing broadside after broadside as it likewise opened up with all cannons.
Although most torpedoes simply missed the cruisers with maneuvering, there was 1 close hit on a lead cruiser but no major damage had been sustained as they began to release torps against the Warspite, before opening cannon fire on the destroyers.
Sapporo front
Despite initial landings, the Japanese forces hold a line just outside the city hall, anti-tank ditches a few meters wide lining the entire length of the defensive line as armored divisions begin to arrive in the rear, ready to push the Russians back into their side. All they could do now was dig more ditches, mow down any Russian infantry, and await for the main fleet to arrive. In the meantime, flights of D3A bombers from any airfield within range would fly by and bomb Russian positions, specifically targeting the rear and the city hall.
Sapporo Front
The Russian front commander would ask the Japanese forces to surrender, and a message is sent from the city, to Tokyo, to Surrender to Britain and Russia.
