Faced with a fleet that suddenly separated, although both Simpson and McGiffin were baffled by the situation, the Americans' realist tendency still prevented them from delving into the reasons. ◎Smart children remember to fight with super fast hands

Update. ◎ From the American point of view, as long as the situation develops for the better, there is no need to think everything clearly. So Simpson and Magiffin decided to deal with the enemy in front of them with peace of mind. No matter which fleet is defeated, the United States will

The victory is basically determined!

As a result, General Simpson's main fleet still sailed towards the Severa fleet, while Magiffin kept the formation intact and kept the speed at about 12 knots so that the fleet would become disconnected and be defeated by the opponent one by one. Xu Jie was off the coast of Izu

It is an advantage in naval battles

Use this funnel to knock down the fast fleet of Japan's United Fleet. Therefore, Ma Jifen, who is familiar with battle cases, will naturally not give his opponent this chance! However, tactics are dead, people are alive, and today, Ma Jifen will become Yang Yonglin's

The test product of new tactics!

When the distance between the two sides was about 7km, Yang Yonglin's fleet was located in the northeast direction of Magifen's fleet. Just when the two sides were about to turn to a battle line and prepare to fight in a normal battle, Yang Yonglin's fleet suddenly began to gradually increase its speed, giving people a sense of speed.

It is very likely that we will enter from the right side of Magiffin's fleet.

It was an immersive feeling! But soon, when the two sides were close to about 5km, Yang Yonglin's flagship King quickly turned 120 degrees, and then cut diagonally into Magiffin's channel. The entire fleet moved together with the battleship. A few minutes later,

An unfolding battle line lay in front of Maggie Fen!

"T-word crosses the head?!" Faced with this scene, Ma Jifen was shocked. The so-called tactic of grabbing the t has actually been around for a long time. As early as the Fengfan era, the two sides were constantly competing for the wind direction and constantly maneuvering to seize the t.

Hengtou and then concentrated superior artillery fire on the battle example. And everything Yang Yonglin did was just for the past. But in the tactics, it seems that it is slow and slow now.

The speed of the Magiffin fleet is undoubtedly quite deadly! At such a close distance, the opponent will put the artillery directly on your head. If you continue to move forward, the opponent's combined forces may soon defeat the New York at the head of the fleet. There is no chance of attack in this moment.

Under the circumstances, Magifen quickly made the right choice, and the entire fleet also turned 60 degrees to the right in order to conduct artillery battles in parallel!

Although there is nothing wrong with the disposal, correct disposal may not necessarily lead to good enough results, and the U.S. fleet at this time just responded to this sentence. Forming a battle line for battle requires that the own fleet be as consistent as possible. Regardless of speed,

Still, the maneuverability must be kept even with the weakest warship. In this case, the fleet will not be out of touch and the firepower of the entire fleet can be exerted, but this is not the case now.

Magiffin's flagship New York suddenly accelerated and turned to the right, but the two auxiliary cruisers A1 and A2 behind it could not keep up with the New York due to the efficiency of the rudder, so they had to continue sailing forward for a while to complete the turn. The following two 4,000-ton ships

The USS Newark and USS Charleston also understood what Magiffin meant and wanted to follow suit, but they did not follow A1 and A in front.

2 two battleships, but took advantage of their small turning radius. They drew a small circle and rushed towards the New York. The five B-series auxiliary cruisers behind them followed the two battleships and quickly approached the New York. In this way

, the two battleships a1 and a2 were suddenly excluded from the battle line! And what's even worse is that because of the inconsistent speed, the remaining battleship formation has also broken up!

The two auxiliary cruisers converted from merchant ships never imagined that they would be the first to engage the enemy! And they did so at such a close distance and in such a bad formation. The two auxiliary cruisers were only 2km away from each other.

Turning the hull, the sides, which were packed with artillery but were quite fragile, were exposed to the opponent's attack. At this time, these two poor battleships faced 6 battleships with as many as 70 or more guns.

In the world of various artillery!

"The most perfect battle situation! I have never seen a better pick-up situation than this!" Jericho shouted excitedly. With the thunderous sound of cannons, the sides of the entire fleet were like a volcanic eruption towards the two warships.

Fired the most violent firepower. Accompanied by the gunfire ejected from the muzzle

Bright yellow flames. It took less than 3 seconds for each shell to fly across the distance of less than 2km between the two sides, and pierced the sides of the two cruisers A1 and A2! In the extreme time, no one could count.

How many artillery shells hit these two poor guys?

Countless light points were fired at the opponent, and random and violent explosions rang out along the sides of the entire battleship. The sound of explosions, impacts, and the cracking of the hull structure after being hit by heavy blows instantly filled the entire sea surface. In just 3 minutes,

Time, number a2

A piece of the side plate was torn away from the hull under the violent blow. Hundreds of square meters of the ship's side were exposed to the opponent's stormy blows. Cannonballs of various calibers rushed into the hull, which was only the minimum.

The protection cannot be provided for the battleship

It provided sufficient protection. Under such poor protection, the firepower that looked quite good on paper had no chance to be used. It fell apart under the fierce blow of the opponent. A 203mm heavy gun was only less than 3 guns larger.

by one

The 10-inch shell was fired and the entire gun emplacement was removed from the hull. Countless pillars of fire became more fierce under the blowing of the sea breeze. Smoke and bright yellow flames rose up throughout the battleship. Everyone knew that the A2 auxiliary cruiser was

It's over!

But unexpectedly, the first one to sink was not the A2, which had been turned into a torch by high-explosive bombs, but the A1 in front of it. Just 15 minutes into the war, the hull of the A1 was suddenly destroyed.

Something huge hit hard, and in less than a second, a large number of debris poured out from the breach along with bright yellow flames and smoke, and a huge explosion resounded throughout the battlefield.

, the whole battleship was shaking, but this was just the beginning. Then, one after another explosions came from the hull. After each explosion, flames and smoke poured out from various breaches. Finally, in a continuous

After three explosions, followed by an unprecedented loud noise, a yellow fireball and a large amount of steam rose from the middle of the hull, and then a huge shock wave spread to all sides.

The huge force continued to tear at the damaged hull. Then, with the heartbreaking sound of metal breaking, the entire battleship was broken into two pieces! The huge whirlpool formed when the A1 sank combined countless fragments with the sea water.

Inhaled to the bottom of the sea, many U.S. sailors jumped ship to escape

Before the officers and soldiers could swim far, they felt as if they were grabbed tightly by a huge hand and dragged into the seabed. In just 2 minutes, the 13,000-ton auxiliary cruiser ended its journey.

As a warship, its combat time is less than 20 minutes!

Shortly after the silence of A1, the end of A2 has arrived, and the entire battleship has turned into a volcano. The hull tilt has reached 15 degrees, which has exceeded the limit of recovery. Silence is only a matter of time. "Okay.

"Don't worry about this ship. We must achieve greater success before the opponent's third-class cruiser reinforcements come up." Yang Yonglin looked at Severa who had picked up the station in the distance.

The fleet said. In less than half an hour, Yang Yonglin's fleet defeated the opponent 2 to 0 with lightning speed. But this was just the beginning. At this time, the Spanish fleet had lost its first move advantage.

The rest is to fight with real swords and guns! The opposing fleet still has 8 large and small ships. In addition, the other side may also come up with 5 third-class cruisers as reinforcements. Yang Yonglin's situation is not optimistic.

"Sure enough, he is someone that even Admiral Xu values." Ma Jifen looked at the A2 cruiser that was slowly sinking in the distance with a livid face. He had never calculated that he would allow Yang Yonglin to obtain it in such a simple and direct way.

Taking the initiative, this shock made Ma Jifen feel a bloody liquid coming up. However, Ma Jifen did not

If he loses space, if he leads the team to support when the opponent attacks, then if the formation is not in order, he will only die if he goes up! So he would rather lose two auxiliary cruisers, but also wait until the formation is in order.

And now, the U.S. Second Fleet has completed its reorganization, and the battle between the two sides has just begun!

After the battle just now, Yang Yonglin took the initiative on the battlefield. In terms of the current fleet strength comparison, his fleet is obviously at an advantage. The King is facing off against the New York, and the Cologne is dealing with two second-class cruisers and a 10,000-ton auxiliary cruiser at the same time.

and three regular second-class cruisers

Against the opponent's five auxiliary cruisers, Yang Yonglin's fleet has an absolute advantage in terms of firepower, speed and protection! If the battle situation does not change, Yang Yonglin is confident that it will take one to two hours to completely eliminate all the opponents.

Battleship!

But this ideal situation is no longer possible. Just after Ma Jifen and Yang Yonglin rearranged their battle formations, a cruise fleet sailed towards the battlefield from the northeast. Without asking, Yang Yonglin knew that his opponent had sent reinforcements.

, if you guessed correctly, they should be 5 third-class cruisers. Although these ships are small in tonnage,

Taken alone, it is nothing at all, but once you cut in from the rear of the team, the weak ship at the end will be besieged by several cruisers. The Fury is essentially just a dome-armored ship firing dozens of rapid-fire cannons.

Under the attack, it can't hold on for long! Yang Yonglin's fleet, which had dominated the limelight just now, is now in danger of being flanked!

"Increase the speed, let's overtake the opponent's formation, and see if we can grab the T-shaped head again!" Looking at the Xie Li fleet getting closer and closer behind, Yang Yonglin wiped a cold sweat and said. Then Yang Yonglin's fleet speeded up again

, the formation trying to overtake the opponent repeated its old trick in front.

But will Ma Jifen give him this opportunity? Obviously not! At this time, the two sides are basically lined up in two parallel lines, with a distance of about 4km. If Yang Yonglin wants to form a T-shaped head again, he must surpass his opponent and turn left to attack, but

When the opponent is on guard, you are maneuvering in the outer circle, and your opponent is in the inner circle. Your distance must be far longer than that of your opponent. Moreover, the speed of the Magiffin fleet is generally low, which does not mean that they are all low-speed ships. The New York

The speed of the two protected cruisers was no slower than the speed of the King and other ships at this time. Even though the front and rear teams of the Magiffin fleet were separated due to the inconsistent speed, Yang Yonglin did not dare to cut in without permission. After all, Shelly's five cruisers were about to

Coming over, this will form a land battle. When the opponent has an absolute shooting advantage, he will inevitably suffer heavy losses. At this time, Ma Jifen only needs to suppress the opponent's route and wait for the arrival of reinforcements!
