Chapter 1114 How fast does it run?
The 2-ton naval artillery shell whizzed and rolled up airflow from Lieutenant Colonel Harry's Hawke Hunter. The explosion almost blew Harry's eardrum, which made Harry's eyes, who was violently marching down, and he fell head-on, avoiding the metal bullets rolled up by the Gate machine cannon on the Huaxia.
The intelligent brain of the Huaxia sub-base has enough star-value control weapons to conduct an automated defense, whether in the sky or at sea.
The layers of anti-aircraft metal bullets can always accurately recapture the Allied fish on the battlefield of the fighter jets in front in the firepower network, and even the backup anti-aircraft missiles are not needed. As threats from the sea, once they enter the effective range of the naval gun, the intelligent brain immediately guides the giant cannons on the Huaxia to prepare early and wait for a fatal blow to erupt.
When the base is upgraded, some vanguard cannons can rely on the accumulated military merits to increase the level one, and level 5 can have a caliber of 600 mm.
After the solidification of the sub-base, the giant cannons, or naval cannons on the Huaxia, still collectively improved their performance in Meng Xiang, maintaining the number of 18.
At this time, the 18 600mm naval guns on the Huaxia were unique.
Under the control of the sub-base intelligent brain, at a distance of 40 kilometers, there is no need to even activate the shooting, which is enough to lock the target within a higher accuracy range.
Only the 600mm giant cannon, especially the vanguard cannon with a super high diameter ratio, has amazing recoil, and even the rolled-up heat waves and flames can easily hurt the surrounding people. Under the control of the intelligent brain, as long as the giant cannon on the Huaxia is powering, the surrounding air defense firepower will begin to automatically weaken. Even the air defense cannon operated by someone has begun to prepare for the launch of the cannon to avoid the influence of vibration and sound. The firepower is weakened, and the so-called opportunity Harry sees.
But when the 600mm pioneer cannon sounded, chance was no longer an opportunity. Instead, the turbulent waves of roaring shells forced the approaching fighter plane to adjust their posture.
Fortunately, the target of such heavy shells was not them, and they would not be as unlucky as Harry, on the edge of the flight trajectory of the shells. As long as they disperse, they can escape from danger.
But big guys like the Allied battleships could not disperse quickly. Even if they saw a 2-ton shell roaring, they could only watch the shells smashed down and gritted their teeth to resist.
Can ordinary battleships with 600mm giant cannon shells withstand it?
Although only 9 cannons fired at the front and rear of the Huaxia, it was aimed at three targets, leaning against the British Lion King, the British King George V, and the Montana-class Maine who suddenly appeared.
As it turns out, none of these three super battleships could withstand the heavy blow of 600mm shells.
It was just because of the accuracy issue that the first round of attacks was around 40 kilometers away from sight range. It only hit King George V of England. Although only one shell hit King George V of England, it made King George V of England fall into a thick smoke. The big hole at the bridge almost tore the entire hull.
The direct hit of 39.7 kilometers set a new record for naval battles.
But soon a new round of shells was fired again, and another 9 artillery bombardment was bombarded.
This time, due to the gun position, I still pointed to these three targets.
The Maine, who was rushing forward, avoided the shelling again. The Lion King, who was hesitant to prepare to shrink back, was caught by a near-lose bullet, and cut a long tunnel on the port side, and his steps became increasingly staggering.
Not long after, the third round of 12 artillery fired again.
King George V, who was similar to a stationary target, hit another 600mm heavy shell at 37 kilometers. Amid a series of deaths, it first sank into the sea.
The Maine is no longer so lucky. The three turrets at the front end of the Huaxia were aimed at it that was thrust the front in a new round of bombardment.
At 35.2 kilometers, the Maine wore two shells and slammed heavily. The smoke and fire broke out. The Maine hull began to tilt.
At this time, the third-level Red Alert Battleship Weiyuan, which was only 31 kilometers away, also began to aim at it.
With satellite signal guidance to determine the target, the accuracy of each ship is also increasing.
With just two rounds of volleys, the Weiyuan 500mm shell hit the Maine again with two shots.
If it weren't for the American Montana class that really attached great importance to protection, it would have been sank at this time. Neither the 600mm or 500mm naval artillery shells could be resisted by its armor. The explosion caused by the shells entering the hull had completely paralyzed the Maine. Even if the muzzle of the Huaxia had been moved to other places, the sky-sky fire spreading to various parts of the ship would bury all living things on the ship.
At this time, no one cares about the Maine. As the Huaxia and the two third-class Red Alert Fearless Class battleships escorted, the battleships that had been involved in the war also raised their muzzles and opened fire at the unified target, the Huaxia.
Not only is the Huaxia large and easier to hit the target, but the Huaxia is the main target of this encirclement. As long as the Huaxia is sunk, even if the Huaxia Navy has a third-level fearless battleship, it will no longer have the deterrent effect that can directly project terror into people's hearts.
But their attacks all deviated from the target at a distance of more than 30 kilometers.
The volley of the Huaxia and the escort Weiyuan and Jingyuan directly blocked the Allied battleships 30 kilometers away. The battleships leaning towards the 30-kilometer line, including the Forward, who was also hit by a 600-mm heavy blow, were killed and three injured not long after. Except for a lucky shell that hit the stern of the nearest Weiyuan, the Huaxia was not injured at all.
"Let's go up! Let's go up!" General Jin kept taking off his hat and waved it in his hand and shouted.
Naval battles are sometimes like this. When the distance is far, you can fight others. If others can’t beat you, you can win. Now, not to mention whether the Allied ships can break the defense of the Huaxia, they can’t even rely on them.
If you can only rely on luck, you might as well lean on it and fight each other with your fist.
"In the information we collected, the Huaxia has maintained a cruise speed of 14 knots, and the maximum speed seen has never exceeded 18 knots. Even if the Japanese assembled all the engines, the designed maximum speed was only 21 knots after they were completed. There is no way, the Huaxia is too huge. The final speed may not reach the ideal maximum speed of 21 knots. Even if the Huaxia retreats, our speed can be increased by 6 knots or more!" Tovey, who was in charge of the Lion King, ignored the shouts of fire fighting outside, and directly gave instructions to other warships to the sand table in the command room.
He had the same plan as General Jin, and only by relying on it to hit the Huaxia can he win.
At this time, the Allied battleships had different speeds. The fastest one could exceed the maximum speed of 30 knots, and the slowest one was a little faster than the Huaxia in the intelligence.
In order not to let the Huaxia be eliminated one by one, General Jin and Tovey agreed to collectively rush forward after unifying their opinions. The slowest rush was placed behind, and the slowest rushing battleship formation was also 27 knots.
"6 quarters are enough!" Admiral Jin also issued an order to rush forward to the American battleships. Perhaps in less than an hour, the battleships that rush forward could shorten the distance that could accurately fire the gun and fight against the Huaxia directly.
...
"Huaxia is still retreating quickly. It is getting faster and faster. Damn, who said it is the fastest of 21 knots? Now its speed is 27 knots, and it is still accelerating. Oh, the cake seller. Such a huge warship has such an amazing speed!" The news from the reconnaissance plane left the Allied troops speechless for a moment.
When the Allied fleet rushed forward quickly, the Huaxia also took the lead in retreating.
Before retreating quickly, he did not forget to have a volley between a distance of 41 kilometers, refreshing the farthest distance between the naval battleship shells and using the two shells that hit the target, he completely sent the Maine to the bottom of the sea.
In the next half hour, the Huaxia, which was constantly retreating, injured two battleships again and completely sank the New Orleans-class heavy cruiser Vincent with one shell. What is even more exaggerated is that the huge waves caused by one of the shells directly overturned a US Fletcher-class destroyer that was turning rapidly to avoid.
When the Huaxia attacked the forward-level forward again at the 25th knot, the Allies, which had been hovering 30 kilometers away, realized that they were being fooled by the Chinese.
With the advantage of two or three quarters, it is not enough to quickly catch up with the Huaxia. According to the firing frequency and accuracy of the Huaxia naval gun, it is likely that the losses will be too great to accept in pursuit.
Since the fierce battle, the Allied battleship group has been killed and 5 injured. How many battleships can the Allied forces have to fill cannon fodder?
"Cruisers and destroyers are quickly forced forward!" General Jin and Tovey issued this order again after brief consultation.
When the fighter jets on both sides of the air were entangled and fighting together, bombers and torpedo planes were hard to take advantage of, and the situation was difficult to open up, we could only rely on the battleships.
The battleships cannot even rely on them, so they can only rely on high-speed destroyers and cruisers to lean on them, cooperate with the torpedo aircraft in the air to create opportunities and launch torpedoes.
The fleet of the USS Huaxia, cruisers and destroyers, was not large in number, and it was difficult to deal with these numerous suicide squads.
At this time, the Huaxia accelerated again and evacuated backward at high speed, setting a distance between both sides, giving the space for the level 3 127mm warning cannons that emerged from the Huaxia to show their power.
"The cake seller! It's almost 30 knots! Can anyone tell me how fast it can run?" At this time, the sound of a reconnaissance plane screaming again came from the air.
