"Yes, it's it! It's the weakest battleship among them, and the armored belt is only 12 inches! It's also slow," Betty said.

"But the one that caught the opposite of it was the King Kong, whose artillery power was a bit poor. Now if you adjust the order of the battle, it will cause chaos." Shigetaro Yoshimatsu said.

"So we only have one chance! Do you remember how Su Xiong escaped?" Betty asked. "We do this, first repel the American destroyers in front of us, and then all the fleets immediately retreat eastward! At this time, the Americans may try to chase and when retreating, they order two Fuso-class battleships to leave the queue to carry out counter-charge against the New York (actually Texas)! The distance between the two sides is only 15 kilometers now. If we move faster, we will soon be closer to about 10 kilometers. At this time, all we need is a suitable hit shot!"

"If this is the case, our battle lines will be dispersed." Shigetaro Yoshimatsu said.

"After fighting this wave, we must leave no matter what!" Betty said. So Betty really took out the tactic of being in front of him and decisively stealing one wave. Before, Su Xiong also stole a King Kong-class battlecruiser like this!

"I think it's OK, but some details can still be improved." Shimamura Suo said. So ten minutes later, the entire tactic was finalized!

"Damn it! The Japanese aimed the main gun at us!" When the Cincinnati light cruiser happily beat the Japanese destroyer, the huge water column rising next to the hull scared the Americans! This was obviously the effect that the main gun of the battleship could only be used! Soon the American fear became a reality! With the help of the searchlight, the two Japanese battleships, Yama Castle and Hinata, locked the American light cruiser, which was only 6,000 meters away from him! And gave up the two American battleships that they had fought with just now! So, the fate of the Cincinnati was locked within a few minutes!

Even though Cincinnati had already begun to release smoke, the powerful 15-inch and a half armor-piercing shell hit the warship with a standard displacement of only more than 7,000 tons many times! The violent explosion made the side strings of Cincinnati make huge holes! Rolling smoke, flames and steam leaked from the pipelines gush out of the damaged hull, and the two 15-inch shells hitting the hull waterline brought up to 1,800 tons of water inlet to the warship! When the power system failed and the water inlet could not be curbed, Cincinnati sank into the sea with hatred! At the same time, the destroyer that was charged by this light cruiser was also intensively fired by the main gun, and the two destroyers were successively smashed to pieces. The Japanese fierce melee firepower forced the American destroyer team back!

At the same time, after driving away the American destroyers, all Japanese battleships began to turn while releasing smoke, obviously taking a stance to run. All battleships opened up the distance, and then turned almost at the same time, changing from a single battle line to a horizontal line! In order to escape from the strike range of the American battleships faster!

"Damn it! The Japanese are going to run!" Benson looked at the Japanese fleet hidden in the smoke and evacuated at high speed. His first reaction was to chase! Although he knew it was difficult to catch up, he still wanted to give it a try!

"Order the destroyer team to chase again immediately! We must entangle them! All battleships start chasing!" Benson issued an order again, but unfortunately, the effect of this wave of return destroyer troops will be reduced. The reason is very simple. On the one hand, the destroyer troops had thrown away some of the torpedoes in the previous battle and lost the most powerful weapon for the battleships. On the other hand, the combat situation turned into a pursuit battle, which made it difficult for the warships with torpedoes to hit the next one!

However, under the cover of the rolling smoke, Benson, located in the forefront of the US fleet, saw the evacuation of the Japanese fleet, but did not see that the two Fuso-class battleships were secretly turning again in the smoke, aiming their thick and long muzzles at the last weak ship in the US fleet!

You should know that even if there are only 9 battleships, the entire queue is nearly 5 kilometers long. What's more, Benson, who is anxious to pursue, did not pay attention to the situation at the end of his queue. In addition, other battleships have begun to accelerate, and Texas has accelerated slowly because it is a steam engine, which has been the earliest warship, which was stretched a distance from the main fleet! At this time, two Fuso-class battleships launched a sneak attack!

"What is that?" In a vague way, the captain of the Texas saw something coming out of the dark smoke! Then, at the moment the searchlight on the Texas swept over! Balls of orange flames squirted out! Under the black night and smoke, it was so heart-pounding!

The sharp and sharp sound of large-caliber shells cutting through the air made the Americans uneasy! Huge fireballs flew towards the Texas battleship. Before the Americans reacted, the shells and the hull collided! This time, the two Fuso-class battleships, the Takabo and Tosa, set a record! A record of the closest battle distance between the main battleships of both sides, at this time, they were only 4,500 meters away from the Fuso! The distance from another American battleship, Nevada, was only 6,500 meters away!

At such a close distance, who would use a stimulus shot? Just just look at the face! So, the two Japanese fast battleships poured ammunition at the highest rate of fire towards the Texas not far away, and fired more than 2 rounds per minute. The maximum main gun fire rate of the Japanese main battleship in this battle was fired! For a moment, shells like raindrops fell down densely rising water columns and covered the entire battleship!

"Release the smoke immediately and avoid it! Send a telegram to General Benson and ask for support!" The Texas quickly turned to escape while preventing the counterattack, but the distance was too close! The shells hit one after another have already made the earliest super fearless ship in the United States pay a heavy price!

In less than a minute, the front half of the Texas hull was hit by the 15-inch main gun four times in a row! The 875KG shell easily tore open the armor on the poor American battleship! And left scars on the front of the hull!

Boom! With another hit, a huge fireball rose again on the bow of the Texas! A violent explosion tore open a large hole of 8 square meters on the side strings of the hull, and a large amount of sea water poured into it. Coupled with the previous gold water, Texas suffered a serious head burial phenomenon, and even the propeller at the tail of the hull was exposed from time to time! The sea water had already overflowed the bow deck and was moving steadily towards the first turret!
