Chapter 461: Sino-US Atlantic Battle (10) [Three Updates]

[Today's third update, please give me a monthly ticket and reward]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Li Dingxin shouted ok, quickly picked up the stepper and ordered: "I am Li Dingxin, now I order each team to implement the No. 2 combat plan."

"The second battlefield understands!"

"The third team understands!"

"The Fourth Team understands!"

"The Fifth Team understands!"

Then Li Dingxin opened the radio channel and shouted: "The victory and defeat of the Imperial Navy is here, I hope all the soldiers will unite and fight bravely to fight the enemy."

Then, shouts of "Long Live the Empire" sounded over the ships, and for a moment, the officers and soldiers of the Chinese Empire's naval officers and soldiers were excited and their morale was as bright as rainbows.

Li Dingxin personally commanded the first team and shouted: "The first team obeys the order and follows the flagship operation. The left helm is full, and the combat speed is fast."

The order was issued, and the flagship Zhu Yuanzhang battleship quickly turned left, and the huge flying scissors bow split a huge wave several meters high, turning rapidly. The other three Ming-class battleships followed the flagship closely.

On the battleship of the USS North Carolina, the flagship of the US Ocean Fleet, Eberly was stunned when he saw the Imperial Chinese Navy make a big turn, and then said with a gaze: "I heard that Li Dingxin, the commander of the Imperial Chinese Navy Combined Fleet, was just in his early forties. As expected, he was still young and couldn't hold back so quickly."

Adjutant Tebo smiled and said, "It is obvious that Li Dingxin shot the horizontal position in the t-head, but he doesn't know your killer move, General. You are the best expert at seizing the horizontal position in the t-head. He is really showing off his skills in front of you."

Eberly smiled proudly and said, "What I am best at is not to grab the horizontal position of the t-shaped character, but to let the other party take the initiative to give me the horizontal position of the t-shaped character."

Teber nodded and said, "The T-type array itself is that both sides have 50% chances. Unless the first mover is absolutely sure, a slight mistake will create a fighter for the other party."

Eberly nodded and said, "Li Dingxin wanted to seize the horizontal position of the T-shaped head by relying on his speed advantage, but he forgot the most important one. That is the distance. Now we are more than 15 kilometers apart. Unless their average speed exceeds 10 knots in this distance, we will not be able to grab the position at all."

Tyber asked, "But you see that the opponent's speed seems to be really fast. Compared with the speed of our God-Bow Battleship, it is indeed more than 10 knots."

Eberly smiled and said, "That's right! That's it!"

Tber asked with confusion: "What are you going to do?"

Eberly said: "The ten god bow-type battleships commanded by Ksey are just baits, and they will win us a golden ten-minute shooting time....com/《》 full text txt download"

Terber suddenly realized and said, "Sacrificing ten old-fashioned battleships in exchange for severely damaging the main force of the enemy fleet. Perhaps better thinking, we and the Ksey fleet attacked the enemy fleet from left to right, and the outcome might be decided immediately."

Eberly nodded and said, "This is exactly what I expected."

Then, Eberly ordered that Ksey lead ten god bow battleships to act as bait fleets to attract the firepower of the Imperial Navy, while Eberly led 25 super god bow battleships to quickly accelerate to the maximum speed, and penetrated in a 45-degree angle with the advancement direction of the Imperial fleet. As long as Li Dingxin dared to attack the Imperial fleet, the side and rear must be exposed. The Eberly Fleet can flexibly rotate to the left or right, and the 360-degree rotating turret can lock the Imperial fleet at any time.

At the same time, Eberly ordered Milan to lead 10 battlecruisers to maneuver on the periphery to restrain the firepower of the Chinese Empire's naval forces.

It can be said that if Eberle's tactics were placed ten years ago, Li Dingxin's fleet would be severely damaged and would be wiped out at any time. Of course, Li Dingxin knew what he was doing. Without Wang Jiancheng's guarantee, he would never dare to do this.

As Eberly said, if the horizontal and vertical positions are not careful, they will switch positions. The advantageous side will be difficult and instantly become the beaten side. Eberly has a tricky tactic. He inserted it in a 45-degree diagonally, which made it difficult for Li Dingxin to determine whether he turned left or right. If he could not judge, then he would be beaten up by the Eberly fleet.

Li Dingxin relies on the air attack force sent by Wang Jiancheng. As long as this attack force can drop bombs or torpedoes on any side of the Eberle fleet, it can force it to turn first. In this way, Li Dingxin will regain the opportunity and calmly deal with the fierce battle ahead.

Of course, the key to victory or defeat at this time has been transferred to the air raid force sent by Wang Jiancheng.

At 3:30 pm, three hundred Hellfire fighters and 192 h2n1 bombers suddenly appeared on the clouds at a height of 5,000 meters northwest.

This attack aircraft group is the killer weapon Wang Jiancheng prepared for the US fleet, and is led by Major General Peng Dunxun, the second aircraft carrier battle group.

At this time, over the US fleet, the US Air Force had less than 300 combat aircraft. Other aircraft were either trapped in the air 60 kilometers away from here, fighting fiercely with the Imperial Naval Aviation, or returning because of exhausted ammunition. Due to the complex models of the US military, there were more than a dozen types, and the various aircraft had uneven performance and different air stagnation time. Generally, large-scale fighter jets generally lacked air stagnation time, so they were forced to return after dealing with the Imperial Naval Aviation for several times.

The US Air Force did not expect that the Imperial Naval Air Force would use this method. The inexperienced US Air Force realized that the opponent's fighter planes deliberately reduced their ammunition consumption and deliberately used their speed and range to deal with each other. But it was too late. The previous wave of planes returned one after another due to exhaustion of ammunition and fuel. The next wave of planes had not arrived yet. Taking this opportunity, Peng Dunxun led the commando to quickly dive from a high altitude and head straight for the Eberle fleet.

300 Hellfire fighters dived at high speed, and dozens of them were shot down in the blink of an eye.

Other U.S. fighters on alert rushed into the battle, but they had no numerical advantage. They basically fought one-on-one with Peng Dunxun Air Wing. At this time, the powerful firepower of Hellfire fighters suddenly became a nightmare for US pilots, and more than 100 were shot down in less than a minute. Due to the failure of the radio system, the U.S. commander of the alert U.S. commander was unable to request support, and 300 of the 300 of the alert aircraft were quickly disbanded.

300 Hellfire fighters continued to dive to the sky nearly three or four hundred meters above the Eberle fleet. The rocket system mounted under the belly of the aircraft had been replaced with torpedoes. When the officers and soldiers of the US fleet looked into the sky in horror, Peng Dunxun had ordered all aircraft to start throwing torpedoes.

Torpedoes fell into the sea from the air, and after a moment they floated out of the water, then rushed towards the US fleet from both left and right directions at the same time.

At this time, Eberly was commanding the fleet to rush towards the Imperial Navy with great enthusiasm. As long as his fleet approached within 10 kilometers of the Imperial Navy, he would win, because at that time, whether Li Dingxin avoided left or right, he could calmly occupy the horizontal position of the T-head shooting.

However, his good dream was destroyed by 300 torpedoes falling from the sky. Although these torpedoes are small in diameter and low in explosion equivalent, they are also very dangerous if they are hit. Moreover, when they see the torpedo, they will not think about their caliber and explosion equivalent. One torpedo in their subconscious mind is enough to send them to see God, so they are very scared.

"avoid!"

"avoid!"

"Avoid now!"

The US warship warriors shouted in a hurry. Although they did not receive the order to change the course issued by Eberle, the Americans have always been the most important thing to protect themselves and ignore anything else in order to save their lives.

However, the torpedo thrown from the Hellfire fighter has extremely high inertial acceleration. When it was thrown from the air three or four hundred meters away, it was close to the US warships only one or two hundred meters away. When the torpedo surfaced, most of the distance was within 100 meters.

At this distance, at a speed of up to 40 knots, the US warships have no time to avoid it.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

The close-defense guns on the side of the US warship opened fire violently, trying to destroy the torpedoes that rushed towards them. However, the effect was very limited, and it was not even time to aim for more than ten seconds.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Many American warships were hit by torpedoes just as they started turning, and not one, but several. The violent explosions came one after another, and the US fleet was hit hard.

In the blink of an eye, the USS North Carolina, Maine, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee, California, Colorado, Maryland, West Virginia, Washington, South Dakota, Montana, Indiana, Massachusetts, Oregon, and Chilshazhi were hit by torpedoes ranging from one to eleven.

Among them, the Maryland was a tragic one. It was hit by eleven torpedoes within ten seconds. The super battleship equipped with a 16-inch cannon was instantly sunk. More than 2,000 American officers and soldiers were sucked into a vortex with a radius of more than 100 meters before they even had time to dive and were buried at the bottom of the sea.

At the same time, the USS Tennessee and California were also sunk, and the two ships were both Tennessee-class battleships equipped with 14-inch main guns.

As the most powerful battleship of the US Navy, all four North Carolina-class battleships that were highly anticipated by the US Navy were torpedoed. The USS North Carolina, where Eberle was located, suffered three torpedoes, and the port side armor belt was blown up three holes, causing a large amount of water inflow. Fortunately, the tonnage of this super battleship was large enough and there were enough watertight compartments, and the design could be hit by five torpedoes at the same time without sinking. However, the water inlet of the hull caused the warship to tilt rapidly, and Eberle had to order the starboard water to balance the center of gravity. The other three battleships of this class were each hit one to two, and the US officers and soldiers above were anxious to rescue them.

However, this is not all nightmare for the U.S. Navy. Following 300 Hellfire fighters, 192 H2N1 bombers dived from high altitude.

At this time, the US warships had a reaction time for air defense fire, and they opened fire on air-speed guns and anti-aircraft machine guns. Several bombers were hit and exploded in the air.

But the US fleet's air defense firepower was obviously very insufficient. Soon the bomber group dropped to a height of 1,000 meters. The cabin opened and a series of aviation bombs fell down.
