The scenery of the Caribbean has always been outstanding. It is surrounded by peninsular and islands, and is calm. From the beginning of determining the combat target, the reconnaissance aircraft will fly over the opponent's fleet every 15 minutes to convey the message of the opponent's location. Although a large number of fleets have entered the Caribbean Sea, the main fleet is still a fleet with 12 battleships, and even the mutual distance between the three fleets is at least 150 nautical miles. This is not to be done.

Leaving any chance of escape for Cheng's troops is a very strict search for the era of battleships. It takes a very coincidental time to run out of this gap. But for China, this is already a backward method. If the Cheng's troops did not want to fight, they would have left long ago. The gap between each other is more than 15 nautical miles. This is impossible for most warships in this era. With such clear observation of reconnaissance aircraft, they can easily escape.

It is this prerequisite that makes Cheng Biguang wait here with peace of mind. Even if the other party does not take the bait or even finds his trace, he is not afraid of any loss. Even after attacking the opponent's main fleet, as long as the battle is completed within 3 hours, then he will not be worried about the siege at all. In the darkness, they can leave easily. The seemingly tight American sieve fleet is actually full of sieves and loopholes everywhere.

Waiting for several hours and patience is quite common for any naval officer. Compared with the army's encounters, positional wars, and in the navy, there is more waiting, waiting for the opportunity to gain an advantage. As long as the opportunity comes, it will be like an assassin's kill. In order to wait for the arrival of the US military, I have been waiting for the periphery of the Panama Canal for several days. Now, it is only based on that foundation, not to mention that the plane is reported every 15 minutes, and the other party's position is clear at a glance.

The combat time has not yet arrived. Most of the soldiers on the warships take turns to rest. Each person can get an hour of rest. One hour time may be a flash for ordinary people. However, for well-trained naval soldiers, it is a rare rest time. For the navy, sometimes half an hour is considered a long time during continuous combat. In order to maintain physical strength and combat effectiveness, maximum rest in the shortest time has become one of the compulsory courses for every naval soldier.

In the command center, all the senior officers did not rest, and the combat plan was determined. The surrounding island was also surveyed and mapped with the help of reconnaissance aircraft as much as possible. At reference objects and different angles, they were attacked at different locations, using reference objects, which could reduce the calculation of the calculation system.

These are all basic preparations. What they need to study now is how many ships the US military has and the number of ships. As early as the first time they reconnaissance of the US military, they had already sent back. The main fleet of the US military has a total of 137 warships of all sizes, of which 12 battleships and 33 equipped patrols have increased patrols, becoming the main force. Of course, other training industries are not weak. 32 light patrols and 60 destroyers are all new models. The minimum tonnage of light patrols is 4,400 tons, and the highest is even 6,600 tons. Even if they face the old heavy patrols, they have extremely strong attack power. As for destroyers, they are all more than 2,000 tons, and their combined power is huge.

Among all the battleships, Cheng Biguang attaches most importance to the main battleship and the mount patrol. These may threaten the existence of the fantasy class, but are not the objects to be removed in the first sequence. The large warship and huge tonnage also represent that he is strong in skin and thick in flesh. Even for a battleship with a strong attack power, it will take time to completely sink it. On the contrary, other light patrols and destroyers can solve the problem with a 15-inch fantasy class gun.

If the small and medium-sized ships are cleared and only large warships are left, even if there are only 4 fantasy-level ships, it is enough to defeat the opponent. However, the choice of choice requires adaptation. In principle, for Cheng Biguang, killing the opponent's main ship is the first pick. This is when choosing to severely damage the opponent. If you have the opportunity to wipe out the opponent, the first pick must be those light ships.

However, the other party has not arrived. The specific choice needs to be discussed after the other party arrives. They can only wait patiently and analyze the specific situation. Now there is good news that the route the other party is coming is consistent with what they predict. This means that as long as you continue to wait, this battle will inevitably break out.

The US military was responsible for this fleet, Admiral Henry Mayo, who was a radical general who regarded American interests as supreme. Especially after participating in the European War, his strength and experience increased. He no longer took risks, but instead sought results in steady pursuit and entered the Caribbean. He was also cautious. Otherwise, if he kept rushing, he could have arrived in Panama a day ago, instead of now, there was still a few hours of voyage from Panama.

Mayo's approach is to place the main battleship and patrol at the core position. They are the benchmark forces of the fleet, which determine the speed of the fleet. Light patrols and destroyers constantly patrol. Wherever there are any doubts, they will send a fleet to patrol to prevent unnecessary dangers. In the past voyage, there have been a false alarm for more than a dozen times, which also puts Mayo under great pressure. Fortunately, the journey is about to end, and there should be no problems before the final battle comes.

At almost 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was still bright, but the sea breeze seemed to be getting louder, and the calm Caribbean Sea was also waving. The communications officers reported again that they discovered an island, which was the most ordinary island on the chart. From a distance, they could see that there was nothing on the island. Out of caution, Mayo chose to send a reconnaissance fleet to reconnaissance. However, in the past time, he wasted too much time on the journey. He did not let the main fleet stop, but the main fleet followed behind, which became a starting point for his defeat.

The island chosen by Cheng Biguang is really outstanding. The small island is enough to block the sight of the US military and create good opportunities for them. The submarine first discovered the target. The US battleship entered the range of attack. With the help of the submarine's precise positioning, to be precise, the area determination. When choosing the island as an ambush, a relatively complete chart was drawn through a reconnaissance aircraft, and the ocean was divided into different positions. As long as the reference objects were determined and the relative positions were determined, it would be clear and clear.

The fantasy level can ensure that it hits the enemy accurately at 15 kilometers away. This is something that no country except China cannot do. The German high seas fleet, nine ships provided by China, can do this with the help of the command system, relying on precise shooting, but regional attacks. The overall regional attack of the 9 ships is used to ensure hit rate. That is just the initial, first-generation command system. Since it is used in China, of course, it is the best one, and has been upgraded long ago.

Although there have been some changes, at least 20 high-speed ships have emerged from the crowd and rushed to the island from 15 kilometers away. For Cheng Biguang, there is no problem. The opponent's main battleship has entered the area being attacked, and the distance is getting closer and closer. Their first wave of attacks is about to begin.

The red light was already on in the fantasy-class cabin 5 minutes ago. All the rest and rest personnel saw the red lights of emergency gathering, and they had already entered the position. The cannon turned, the engine of the ship was running, and the entire ship had reached a combat state.

Finally, the signal from the submarine came. With a precise area, all the four battleships entered the state of fighting. There was an island separated by such a maximum altitude of more than 100 meters. The shooting route was not the highest place on the island, but launched an attack on one side of the island. In this way, the height did not need to be maintained to a height of 100 meters. This was an unsurpassable height for the battleships. However, because of the angle, this area was hidden behind the island and the other party knew nothing. Even the first reconnaissance fleet, at a speed of about 35 knots, would have to be at least 15 minutes before they could bypass the island and see the fantasy level. The suddenness of the combat can be guaranteed.

This moment is not at night, but it is almost afternoon, which is a relatively fatigued moment in the sky. In the eyes of the American fleet, the last time I got fantasy-level news was one day ago. It can be said that the other party may appear at any time and should be full of concentration. However, continuous sailing, especially the vigilance of entering the Caribbean Sea, consumed a lot of energy from the US military. They had no time to rest from London to the United States. Their original target was near New York, but they were mobilized to Panama. The voyage of thousands of nautical miles apart, and the fatigue level was not a little bit. The US Navy also realized this and proposed to replace some personnel, but was rejected by Mayo. In Mayo's view, the soldiers who had been baptized by the European war, especially the navy on a ship for a long time, could perfectly exert their combat effectiveness. The other party was the four strongest warships in the world that ravaged the continent of the United States, and they had to be careful.

Of course, even if you are careful, in your heart, Mayo and the naval officers believe that they are a complete fleet. Under their pursuit, the other party should only be able to escape, rather than catch up. Their purpose of coming to the Caribbean was to block the other party and fight to annihilate the other party. However, they did not expect that the other party would escape again, but did not escape. Instead, they took the initiative to meet them to annihilate them. (To be continued.)
