"Damn it, I never thought that in this case, we would be the first one to be exposed!" When he saw the flares slowly falling from the sky, the dazzling light not only made him feel uncomfortable, but even felt a vague feeling of pain in his heart! The US Navy's excellent reconnaissance and system combat capabilities surprised others in the Yamaya. He really didn't expect that the Japanese would encounter such a not-so-good start under such a careful plan!

"We discovered the Japanese fleet! The distance is 10,000 yards!" As soon as the flare fell, the American battleship that had already moved its position discovered the Japanese fleet coming. The original sneak attack instantly turned into an encounter, and it was more inclined to an encounter with the US military!

With the help of servo equipment, the shells weighing more than 400 kilograms were sent into the chamber. In less than 25 seconds, the gunners of the US Navy completed the first firing cycle. With the roar of heavy artillery, more than a dozen shells roared towards the Japanese warships in the distance! Tens of seconds later, the water column that soared into the air fell on the tracks of the Japanese fleet.

"Is this a slap?" Hirahachiro Togo looked at the shell landing point that was 1,200 yards away from the Japanese fleet! There was no turmoil in his heart, and he even wanted to laugh. This landing point could no longer be explained by the wear of the artillery or other technical reasons. The reason is very simple. At this time, according to the data displayed by the Japanese Navy's rangefinder, (the position of the other party is determined based on the flame of the muzzle of the American warship.) At this time, the distance between the two sides should be around 8,500 yards. If someone looks at it from the perspective of God, the Japanese's distance measurement is more accurate, while the American's distance measurement will not be said...

The Americans' rate of fire was still very fast. In the first few minutes, the American fleet poured a deadly rain of bullets towards the Japanese fleet in the distance at a rate of more than 2 rounds per minute. Unfortunately, when the two sides gradually narrowed from 8,500 yards to 7,000 yards, the American fleet not only failed to hit, but even did not form a cross-fire! However, at this time, when the destroyer of the Japanese fleet launched a flare, the four American battleships were exposed to the Japanese's muzzle!

"Quickly release the smoke, turn right and keep the distance!" When the colleague who was illuminated in front of him was illuminated, Colonel Lacey decisively issued an order to avoid it. At this moment, six Japanese battleships appeared in his sight. At this moment, Colonel Lacey had no intention of fighting! His task was to delay time!

One by one, the cigarette tanks were opened, and the thick black smoke began to spread rapidly under the sea breeze. The black fog formed a barrier between the fleets of both sides. The Japanese fleet was forced to temporarily give up shooting after barely taking two rounds of volleys.

"Order the destroyer team to move northeast to cut off the retreat of the US fleet. All battleships follow the flagships and we sail northwards to encircle the US fleet!" Others from the mountain house quickly issued an order.

The command of others in Yamaya fully interprets what it means to become a doctor after a long illness! In this small-scale battle, the encirclement attacks of Japanese battleships and destroyers cut off the retreat of the US fleet, allowing them to turn north again. More importantly, the Japanese forced the US fleet to the upper wind! In this case, the US fleet will soon escape from the cover of smoke, and even if they use cigarette tanks, the effect will not be good due to the wind direction!

When the smoke dissipated and the Japanese seaplanes threw the flares over the head of the American fleet again, everything was destined and the massacre officially began! The Japanese fleet composed of six quasi-fairy buildings and four super-fairy ships launched the final attack like a pack of hunting wolves, and the three former American dreadnoughts were the first to be hit!

"Original position 135, distance 7,000 meters!" The Hinata battleship first caught the front dreadnought in New Jersey. The flares turned the surrounding waters of this poor warship like daylight. The unfolded parachute can give the Fuso-class battleship a illumination of about 5 minutes!

"Fire! Full scatter!" With the order from the fire controller, 10 15-inch heavy artillery spewed out long fire dragons at the target at the same time! Accompanied by the loud noises like thunder and the flames and smoke covering the entire warship, the massacre began!

At such a distance, the British 15-inch L42 artillery was almost parallel to the sea level, and more than 8 tons of shells flew toward the distant target. After a few seconds, huge water columns enveloped the poor former dreadnought! And when the second round of volleys was fired, the disaster finally came!

Two huge columns of fire suddenly rose from the side of the hull of the battleship of the New Jersey, which was sailing rapidly! Two shells hit the front of the hull almost at the same time, and one of them hit the bottom of the front main turret of the New Jersey! The 11-inch thick Harvested armor was useless in the face of such a powerful attack. The warhead of the 15-inch armor-piercing projectile easily tore open the curved armor belt of the cannon seat and plunged into the dressing room under the turret!

So, at this moment, everything seemed to enter slow motion. First, it was a dazzling yellow spot produced after the shell was penetrated. Then in an instant, the yellow spot expanded rapidly, and more than a dozen shells and tons of launching drugs were detonated in less than a second! Accompanied by the violent explosion, the double-equipped 12-inch turret weighing hundreds of tons was blown away directly! Then the flames began to spread across the hull, and the shock wave wrapped in debris and teared everything that could be touched around!

Continuous explosions made the warship tremble continuously, and the hull made a sound of wailing, while another shell drilled into the artillery corridor, blowing a 175MM secondary cannon together with the gunners next to it into pieces. At the same time, the strong explosion and impact also cleaned up the damage personnel prepared to be on the main deck. After two shells, the first half of the poor former fearless battleship had completely lost control.

The other two battleships were also not in good condition. The Georgia was closest to the Japanese fleet and was attacked by three battleships, Chaowu, Tianwu and Shanwu. Although the three battleships used outdated 12-inch naval guns, the poor American Former Fearless still had no power to fight back at the close range of up to 18 large-caliber artillery guns! A bunch of huge fireballs rose up from time to time on the poor warship. In an almost training environment, the Japanese Navy's artillery level was fully demonstrated. At a distance of less than 6,000 meters, the Chaowu battleship even hit the opponent's three shells at the same time in a round of volleys!
