The first thousand four hundred and thirty-three chapters hard against naval guns
When the US main battleship began to approach quickly and accelerated to its maximum speed, he thought they could not see the opponent, nor could the opponent see their US military. He didn't know that everything about them was displayed on the radar. The radar currently used in the fantasy class is only a primary product, and it is impossible to even determine the maneuvering targets such as torpedoes, but it can clearly show the position of the US fleet. For some destroyers, you can make more accurate judgments. In addition, Cheng Biguang's grasp of this sea area, the opponent's actions were almost clear.
Cheng Biguang knew very well what the US military wanted to do. This was exactly what he expected. Facing the approaching US warships, he did not take action against the main battleships, but cleared the surroundings. In terms of strength, there is still a big gap between the four fantasy-class teams and the opponent's main battleship formations. The advantage of the fantasy-class is always speed and protection. If this speed is to be used, the current space is slightly insufficient. You must put yourself in a relatively favorable position. This advantage is not a battle line in the traditional sense, but is sufficient space and distance. In the middle, at critical moments, those ships that love to float on the water surface and have not completely lost their ability become the key. Maybe, a torpedo suddenly released is very low, but not completely missing.
The opponent is shot, loses his ability and is sinking. Can you guarantee that it is harmless? Besides, in terms of the opponent, there are nearly 10 fast fleets, which must be killed as soon as possible, but that is what happened after cleaning up the surroundings.
After the US military led by Mayo bypassed the island, he saw the scene in front of him. Four powerful battleships were finishing off the ships that had lost resistance.
Although it was far away and could not be seen clearly, it was obvious that the US ships had lost their ability to move. At this time, this kind of last-draft was simply a crime. Anger suddenly filled Mayo's heart, but Mayo was not blinded by the anger. He carefully observed the surroundings.
There is no trace of other warships. The island is not big, but it is not small. It took him so long to go around. After the Second Guerrilla Fleet was attacked, there was not enough time to let the warship escape, unless he used it. His previous worries were wrong. The Chinese only had these four warships, but why was this warship so fast and so powerful that he easily killed almost 90 ships?
Questions lingered in my heart, and I couldn't figure it out no matter how I thought about it. These were just 4 ships, not 14 ships, 24 ships. Even if they had three heads and six arms, it was unlikely that they would kill all 90 ships in less than an hour. Will the opponent have magic?
Mayo didn't know or understand, but everything at this moment made him know that this was a good opportunity. While the Chinese warships were still paying attention to those ships, he had to close the distance. The accuracy of the hits shown by the emperor level was beyond Mayo's imagination. The precise shooting of more than 15 kilometers was something he had experienced before. At such a distance, he hit the main ship so accurately. Even before he met, four battleships were severely damaged and sunk. If they did not want to repeat the same mistake, they had to close the distance between both sides.
I don’t know if luck has come to the head of the US military, at least for Mayo now, from the 15 kilometers he saw, gradually approaching, 14, 13, and 10 minutes, the other party did not react at all, as if all his attention was attracted by those US warships. The US main battleship traveled nearly 4 nautical miles in 10 minutes.
4 nautical miles, this is a very short distance during a long journey. For Mayo, it is like a torment. It is converted into a kilometers, which is close to 7 kilometers, which means that it is about to enter the effective range.
The maximum range of the US military is 10 kilometers, but 10 kilometers is basically a plane, and there is no accurate point at all. Although the training has been 8 kilometers, the hit rate is still not high. Only within 7 kilometers or even 6 kilometers can they have a relatively high hit rate.
Of course, the US military did not dare to shoot at 6 kilometers. If they did not respond to the counter now, it did not mean they would never respond. When the distance between the two sides reached 8 kilometers, artillery fire from the US military began to appear. The US military adopted the system of the British. When the UK extended the range to 10 kilometers, the US military also reached 10 kilometers. However, they saw that the other party did not counterattack and were closer. Unlike the UK, the US military's accuracy within a range of 10 kilometers is almost negligible. It is necessary to go further to have a higher range.
At this moment, Cheng's army seemed to have not noticed it, and still aimed at the battleships and cleaned it up little by little. The previous attack was not sunk, but about half of it. Now, after nearly 10 minutes of cleaning up, all the hidden dangers were finally eliminated. The entire channel was cleared, and the next was the showdown between the main ships.
However, among the main battleships that the opponent rushed up, there were some fast fleets, and they even rushed up faster than the main battleships. When facing the threat of the main battleship, even Cheng Biguang did not dare to let them get close to launch torpedoes. Fortunately, the sea surface has been almost cleared. Next, kill those fast fleets before the main battleships of the US military continue to approach.
The fantasy level is advancing in a zigzag shape, and most of the main guns are in the right position. With the help of the command system and radar, they directly find light ships that are now out and are ready to cut into a range of 5 kilometers and want to launch torpedoes.
The habit is so terrible. Even if Mayo's fleet has suffered so much loss, even if the Fantasy-class clearly cleared the fast fleet, the US military still did not realize the problem. They subconsciously sent a light fleet to attack in advance and put the main ships in the end. Mayo also lost the last chance to save the main fleet. As long as the last 10 fast warships were severely damaged, the Fantasy-class could kill almost all the US main ships by flying kites.
The 48 shells had a slight deviation, mainly because the launch was not synchronized. After all, it was not targeted at the same warship. There were also differences in the launch. However, the hit rate was amazing. Mayo truly understood why the two previous guerrilla fleets were attacked so quickly. The opponent's accuracy was quite high. A warship locked at least three or four targets, and the firing rate was very fast. Only 4 rounds of artillery fire were used to basically clean up the fast fleet.
Although Mayo didn't understand why they didn't choose themselves and attacked the light fleet, the man still had to seize the opportunity. The close US battleship still had some gains. In the range from 8 kilometers to 6 kilometers, a total of 5 rounds of large-caliber shells were fired, nearly 350 large-caliber shells. At the most critical moment, Mayo was frantically pouring artillery fire, hatred, anger, and unwillingness toward the other side. Various mentalities lingered in the hearts of the US military, and actually performed beyond their level and fired at least 30% of the artillery shells than usual.
A total of 350 large-caliber shells were hit 7 rounds in the end. Such a hit rate was OK in battleships, about 2%. After all, the opponent was also in the process of running and even trying his best to avoid it. However, the 7 rounds of shells hit are of little use for the Fantasy level. The Fantasy level is almost unavoidable. The Fantasy level is a combination of Chinese materials and German shipbuilding imagination. The most perfect battleship has extremely strong protection and is comprehensive protection.
Especially the front armor, almost even the fantasy level is difficult to kill. After using the new generation of alloys, it is almost equivalent to homogeneous armor of more than 4.6 meters. This thickness is not the same as the 12-inch cannon, even the strongest cannon in the Allied country cannot do anything.
These US dreadnoughts are not as powerful as mainstream dreadnoughts, and the gun caliber is still about 12 inches. Such attack power does not have enough armor-piercing shells. The 7 rounds of hits are completely harmless for the fantasy level. You must know that even anti-aircraft machine guns have protection. These attacks, 5 rounds are bounced away, and two rounds are concentrated in the weaker areas, and they are only embedded in the armor, weakening this part of the armor, and the others are useless.
It was almost 4 o'clock in the afternoon when the US military arrived near the island. It had been more than an hour since it was attacked, divided troops, and then attacked one by one. At this time, although the sun had not completely taken off, it was approaching below. The sky had gradually sunk and could not see clearly. However, from a distance, it could still be seen whether it was shot or not. Every large-caliber naval gun hit the opponent's warship, which would make the US military cheer, but after the cheer, there was nothing else. The US military only knew that it had hit it, but it didn't know how much damage it had caused. However, looking at the opponent's fantasy-level movements, it should not be big. After hitting so many large-caliber shells, the most of them were even hit by four rounds. If it were replaced by the US military's own dreadnought, it would have lost its combat effectiveness long ago, but the fantasy-level still lively.
From 15 kilometers to 8 kilometers, and then to 6 kilometers, for more than 12 minutes, the fantasy level has never paid attention to the attacks of the US military. With all his strength to clean up the surrounding ships, its accuracy, and most of the opponent's ships were severely damaged and lost their speed, the removal efficiency was very high. Now, these have basically been cleared out, and the opportunity to counterattack has arrived. Next, it is time for them to show their skills. (To be continued.)
