The Bahamas are one of the three archipelagos in the West Indies. Although it is considered as a group of islands in the Bihai region, it is actually not in the Caribbean, but in the North Atlantic Ocean outside the Florida Strait. This archipelago consists of more than 700 islands and multiple islands and reefs, with a total area of ​​13,939 square kilometers. Originally living in the Bahamas were Indians, but Columbus arrived here in the 15th century. In the 17th century, the British established the first colonial point in the Bahamas. When Britain declined and had to shrink around the world in the face of German offensives, the Americans replaced it and became the new ruler here.

When the World War broke out, although the US Navy destroyed the Panama Canal, the US Navy had been preparing for a decisive battle with the Chinese Navy. The US Navy established several seaplane bases on the Bahamas and deployed more than fifty seaplanes to monitor the waters near the Bahamas and avoid being raided by the Chinese Navy. If the fighter jets used by the US Army aviation were not good, the range was short, and they would fight with the Chinese Air Force in US airspace, the US Navy might have been preparing to deploy "hurricanes and fighters on the Bahamas!

On the morning of January 9, the United States and Britain combined fleet arrived in the waters in the northeast of the Bahamas, less than 100 kilometers away from the Great Abaco Island in the north of the Bahamas. At the same time, the Chinese Navy Expeditionary Fleet also entered this waters from the southern part of the Bahamas. However, in the absence of certainty whether the Americans deployed "hurricanes and fighters" on the Bahamas, the range of activities of the Chinese Navy Expeditionary Fleet is at least 200 kilometers away from the Bahamas. Although the Americans' hurricanes and fighter jets have poor performance, there is still no big problem with dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft with weak air combat strength. The Chinese Navy Air Force only has four aircraft carriers and more than 300 aircraft. It can be said that each aircraft is a treasure and cannot tolerate any loss.

If the main force of the US-UK joint fleet cannot be wiped out this time due to the attack of the American hurricane and fighter jets, the loss will be great! This will also be a heavy blow to the Chinese Navy. It will even have a far-reaching impact on China's battle situation in this world war. Therefore, Marshal Li Dingxin, the commander of the Chinese Navy's local fleet, had to act carefully when formulating a combat plan!

At 8 a.m. on January KO, the entire waters near the Bahamas were sunny and calm. The tropical island scenery here was very good. If it weren't for the time being during the World War, it would be a good place to travel. However, whether it is the Chinese who are busy winning or the Americans who want to save their country, they have no intention of enjoying the beautiful scenery here at this moment!

On the sea 180 kilometers east of Carter Island, a fleet with Chinese dragon flag flying is coming from the south. This is a formation composed of light cruisers and destroyers. The entire formation consists of "Ningbo-class, destroyers and six "Fuqing-class, destroyers". They are the forefront of the Chinese Navy Expeditionary Fleet and are responsible for the mission of exploring the way. Once the main force of the US Navy is discovered, they will immediately report to the Chinese Navy Expeditionary Fleet.

"Boss, the scenery here is really good. After we defeat the Americans, we may apply to be transferred to the Atlantic Ocean to serve!" said a major officer. Although the Chinese Navy does not currently have the Atlantic Fleet, we can guess that after defeating the United States and Britain, and winning the world war, China will definitely expand to the world. In order to safeguard China's interests in the Americas and the Atlantic coast, it is definitely imperative to form an Atlantic Fleet.

"Haha! Of course there is no problem. When the war is over, you can apply for retirement and then settle here!" said a lieutenant colonel officer. His name is Deng Wei. He is the commander of this formation. The major he talked to was named Zhou Rong. He is the captain of the Chinese Navy's Zhoushan, light cruiser.

"Retired? I don't want to do it. I'm only 26 years old now. If I work for a few more years, I might be able to be transferred to the battleship to serve!" Major Zhou Rong said with his eyes shining. He is a firm believer in giant ships and cannons, and has always hoped to become the captain of the battleship.

"Haha! Are battleships? Maybe when you have this qualification, the battleships have already been retired!" Lieutenant Colonel #王日本 said with a smile. He was fortunate to have participated in an aircraft carrier exercise and witnessed the scene of a carrier-based aircraft taking off on the aircraft carrier siegeing the battleships. So he yearned for the aircraft carrier and always wanted to serve on the aircraft carrier. However, because there was no suitable position, he had never been able to do it!

"Aircraft carriers may be able to defeat battleships, but I think that as long as the battleship has enough air defense weapons, it can ensure its own safety. Once the aircraft carrier is approached by the battleship, it will die without a burial place!" Major Zhou Rong retorted.

On the bridge of the Zhoushan light cruiser, Lieutenant Colonel Deng Wei and Major Zhou Rong once again began to argue whether the battleships would withdraw from the naval sequence after the aircraft carrier was put into service. Although they had already argued several times before, no one could convince anyone. They did not know at this moment that the formations and warships they commanded would become the first battleships to fight with the British and American joint fleet in this maritime decisive battle.

At 8:5 in the morning, the lookout of the light cruiser, Zhoushan, discovered the American fleet that appeared in the northern waters and immediately issued an alarm!

Lieutenant Colonel #王机来本来 and Major Zhou Rong, who were arguing on the bridge, immediately stopped arguing and picked up a telescope and looked to the north. Soon, ten U.S. Navy destroyers appeared in their eyes. The star and striped flags hung on the warship fluttered in the wind under the sunlight, which was very eye-catching! The U.S. Navy destroyer formation was only about twenty kilometers away from the Chinese Navy's vanguard formation!

The destroyers of the US Navy also discovered the Chinese Navy's warships. The ten destroyers immediately changed their formations, looking like they were ready to fight!

"Hmph! The Americans finally appeared and found their destroyer. Their main fleet must be not far away!" Lieutenant Colonel Lan Wei at this moment.

"Report to the flagship immediately that we are encountering the destroyer formation of the US Navy. It is initially determined that the main fleet of the US Navy is in the north, but they cannot be judged for the time being!" Lieutenant Colonel Deng Wei ordered. The formations serving as the vanguard are usually dozens or even hundreds of kilometers away from the main fleet. Therefore, it is not possible to be sure that the main fleet of the US Navy is nearby based on the destroyer formation of the US Navy!

"Boss, what should we do now? The Americans only have ten destroyers, we have 4 light cruisers and 6 destroyers, why don't we be afraid of having a fucking shot?" Major Zhou Rong asked eagerly.

"Do it! Why don't you do it? There is no reason to let go of the fat meat delivered to your mouth!" Lieutenant Colonel Deng Wei ordered.

A few minutes later, the formation of four light cruisers and six destroyers accelerated and rushed towards the US fleet twenty kilometers away. Although the number of both sides was the same, the Chinese Navy had four light cruisers, which had steadily surpassed the US Navy!

The U.S. Navy's Byg Flying Detachment appeared in the waters near Carter Island. They were ordered to search for the location of the Chinese Navy at a distance of 120 kilometers in front of the main fleet. When the seaplane found nothing, they searched about 200 kilometers from Carter Island. Unexpectedly, they found traces of the Chinese fleet!

On the US Navy's destroyer, Alvin, Colonel Paul, commander of the U.S. Navy's Byg Frigate formation, was giving an order with a cold face: "Come, send a telegram to the flagship, and find four Chinese light cruisers and six destroyers. They are approaching us and asking for support!"

"Sir, what should we do now? The Chinese have 4 light cruisers! Their destroyers are much larger than us!" The captain of the USS Alvin said in horror.

The destroyer Alvin is the first ship of the Alvin-class destroyer mass-produced by the US Navy. As the main destroyer of the US Navy, the Alvin-class destroyer has built a total of hundreds of ships in recent years.

‘Alvin class destroyer, with a displacement of 1,036 tons, a maximum speed of 295 knots, and is equipped with four 762mm naval guns, three twin torpedo tubes and two heavy machine guns. Such firepower is already very fierce for destroyers with a displacement of only 1,000 tons. However, compared with the Chinese Navy’s ‘Fuqing class’, the destroyer is relatively weaker. The Chinese Navy’s

The Fuqing-class destroyer displacement is as high as 1,800 tons, and its maximum speed reaches 35 knots. Its military equipment is two 105mm naval guns, four 88mm rapid-fire guns, four 37mm rapid-fire guns, and two 533mm heavy torpedo tubes.

Of course, it is even more impossible to compare with the "Ningbo-class light cruisers of the Chinese Navy. The "Ningbo-class light cruisers have a displacement of up to 6,500 tons and a maximum speed of 33 knots. The equipment is two dual-mounted 155mm naval guns, 10 KC5mm naval guns, 8 88mm rapid-fire guns, and 8 37mm rapid-fire guns. Such powerful firepower is enough to easily tear apart any destroyer of the US Navy.

"Damn it! Get ready for the battle, our reinforcements are coming soon!" Colonel Paul ordered with a cold face. William, commander of the British and American Navy Combined Fleet.

Admiral Benson has issued an order to allow the cruiser formation closest to them and the qyg fleet of the British fleet to come to reinforce them, but they need to resist the Chinese Navy for an hour alone!
