The maximum speed of the U.S. Navy's "Alvin-class" destroyer reached 295 knots. After Colonel Paul issued the order, the remaining five destroyers immediately accelerated to escape to the north. However, their speed was too weak compared to the Chinese Navy's "Ningbo-class, light cruisers and Fuqing-class destroyers! After the order of Lieutenant Colonel #王日本, the four "Ningbo-class, light cruisers and 6 "Fuqing-class" destroyers of the Chinese Navy accelerated to chase the five destroyers that fled the U.S. Navy. Not only did they easily catch up with the five destroyers of the U.S. Navy, but they also kept the distance between the two sides at a distance of three to four thousand meters, and fired violently on the U.S. Navy's destroyers at this distance, so as not to let all the cooked ducks fly away!

"Boom!" A 155mm armor-piercing projectile hit Alvin. The stern of the destroyer, and the shell directly penetrated the deck and exploded inside the warship! The huge power suddenly cut off the stern behind the ship, and even the tail rudder was blown off!

When the shell exploded, the entire warship shook violently. The officers in the bridge, including Colonel Paul, fell to the ground and were in a mess. After getting up from the ground, Colonel Paul had no time to organize the instrument and immediately asked about the losses.

In less than a minute, the captain of the destroyer Alvin reported to Colonel Paul that the stern of the ship was hit, not only the tail rudder was blown up, but the sea water was still crazily pouring into the warship. The damage managers were trying to plug the loophole, but the possibility was very low. At the same time, the destroyer Alvin also asked the captain of the destroyer to transfer to other warships to command the battle. If the damage managers could not plug the loophole, he probably had to order the abandonment of the ship!

Colonel Paul had no choice but to transfer the command from the Alvin destroyer to the Jenkins destroyer. However, this saved the defeat of the U.S. Navy's Byg Fighter Detachment. After Colonel Paul boarded the Jenkins destroyer, the captain of the Alvin destroyer issued an order to abandon the ship. A few minutes later, the destroyer with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons sank into the cold Atlantic Ocean. At this time, the battle was not over. The Chinese Navy's four light cruisers and six destroyers were still fighting against the remaining destroyers of the U.S. Navy's Byg Fighter Detachment.

The fire was fierce. In less than ten minutes, the remaining four destroyers of the US Navy were hit one after another. Two of the four destroyers were sunk. The other two surrendered to the Chinese Navy after being severely damaged. However, the Chinese Navy, the Chinese Navy, took captives of the personnel from the two destroyers of the US Navy, and directly gave up the severely damaged destroyer. Colonel Paul, the commander of the Byg Fleet of the US Navy, was also among the captured personnel. Among the two options of glory and life, Colonel Paul chose to give priority to protecting his life.

The battle began only fifty minutes, and in less than an hour, the U.S. Navy's Byg Flying Force was wiped out. Among the ten destroyers, except for three severely damaged warships, the remaining seven destroyers were sunk one after another. At this time, the U.S. Navy's 4th Light Cruiser Detachment was still more than ten kilometers away. Although they had discovered the tragic phenomenon of the Bzg Flying Force through their eyes, they were unable to come to rescue them in time.

"General, the Byg Flying Detachment is finished. What should we do now?" A lieutenant colonel officer asked Brigadier General Lance, the commander of the US Navy's 4th Light Cruiser Detachment. Originally, their mission was to rescue the Byg Flying Detachment. But now the 8th Detachment Detachment is finished, and their mission cannot be completed. Next, there are two roads in front of them. One is to exchange fire with the Chinese fleet and strive to sink the Chinese warships. The other way is to retreat, and evacuate the battlefield before the Chinese fleet has not yet caught up!

"We have ten light cruisers, and our light cruisers are no worse than the Chinese. We don't need to be afraid of them! Order each ship to accelerate forward! Prepare to fight the Chinese! In addition, report to the flagship and request reinforcements!" Brigadier General Lance said. He was not sure whether there were other Chinese navy warships around him, so he could only ask for more reinforcements.

The main light cruiser of the US Navy is the Omaha-class and light cruiser. This is a light cruiser designed and built by the US Navy after referring to the Ningbo-class and light cruiser of the Chinese Navy. Its main purpose is to be able to fight against the Ningbo-class and light cruiser of the Chinese Navy and hope to gain an overwhelming advantage.

However, the light cruiser designed did not satisfy the US Navy. It was finally finalized after repeated modifications. The Omaha-class light cruiser, with a displacement of tons and a maximum speed of 29 knots. The armament is three double-mounted 152mm naval guns, two 762mm secondary guns, four-axis propulsion, and a nautical miles. At the same time, the armor has also been greatly improved. The side armor is 76mm, the deck armor is 38mm, the turret is 5mm, and the bridge armor is 32mm. Although, the Omaha-class light cruiser is equipped with two more main guns than the Chinese Navy's Ningbo-class and light cruiser, the firepower of the secondary gun is much weaker than that of the Ningbo-class.

Moreover, in naval battles, even the 5mm secondary gun and the 88mm rapid-fire gun can be used.

The Omaha-class light cruisers are posing a fatal threat. The weak armor cannot effectively defend against the shells fired by the KD mm naval gun and the 88-mm rapid-fire gun. The Chinese Navy's Ningbo-class light cruisers' displacement is 800 tons higher than the Omaha-class, which makes the Ningbo-class light cruisers have thicker armor and are three to four knots higher in speed than the Omaha-class. If the duel is held one-on-one, the Omaha-class light cruisers cannot compete with the Ningbo-class light cruisers. After all, the distance between light cruisers is not too far, and they are usually at a distance of five or six thousand meters. This distance between the Ningbo-class light cruisers and the sub-cannons of the light cruisers can also come in handy!

The reason why Brigadier General Lance ordered an attack was that the US Navy's 4th light cruiser fleet had ten light cruisers, and the Chinese Navy's forward formation had only four Ningbo-class light cruisers, and the remaining six Fuqing-class destroyers were obviously unable to fight against the Omaha-class light cruisers. Whether in terms of displacement or firepower, Fuqing-class, destroyers and

‘Omaha-class and light cruisers are no longer on the same level. If the two sides fight, they are simply seeking death!

"Boss, what should I do? The Americans rushed up. We probably can't beat their ten Omaha-class and light cruisers!" Major Zhou Rong said with some concern. If he had ten Ningbo-class and light cruisers, he wouldn't be afraid. The Chinese fleet even had a great chance of winning.

"Retreat first! We are not as stupid as the Americans." Lieutenant Colonel Deng Wei said.

"Retreat?" Major Zhou Rong was stunned. If he took the initiative to retreat, it would probably have an impact on morale!

"Let the Americans be proud of it first, and they will cry at that time!" Lieutenant Colonel Deng Wei said ignoringly.

Then, the Chinese Navy's vanguard formation began to turn and then retreated south at a high speed of 25 knots. After the US Navy's 4th Light Cruiser formation discovered that the Chinese Navy was retreating, Brigadier General Lance immediately ordered an accelerated pursuit!

"Accelerate! Raise me to 28th. Chase those yellow-skinned monkeys and send them all to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish!" Brigadier General Lance shouted wildly!

"General, the Chinese retreat voluntarily. What if they have an ambush?" A low-level officer asked a question!

"Ambushes? There will be no ambush! If there were reinforcements from Chinese people nearby, they would not have fled in a panic!" Brigadier General Lance said with great affirmation.

Under the order of Brigadier General Lance, ten light cruisers from the US Navy's cruiser fleet accelerated to chase the Chinese Navy's forward formation. At the current speed of both sides, they could catch up with the Chinese Navy's forward formation in up to two hours and then launch an attack. Brigadier General Lance seemed to have seen the Chinese Navy's warships sunk by them, and he couldn't wait to look at William.

Admiral Benson sent a telegram claiming that they were pursuing the Chinese Navy and were about to win!

However, it didn't take long before the excitement on Major General Lance's face disappeared, replaced by deep horror!

At 10 a.m., a fleet appeared on the sea in the south. Although the fleet only had 6 warships and a few destroyers, the huge bodies of these warships seemed to float on the sea like a hill, and the thick gun barrels seemed to eat people!

"General! What should we do with the Chinese 'Jianghe Class and Heavy Cruiser?" Although the US Navy's Omaha Class and light cruisers can barely compete with the Chinese Navy's 'Ningbo Class and Light cruisers, if they face the 'Jianghe Class and Heavy Cruiser, then they will be dead! The powerful firepower of the 'Jianghe Class and Heavy Cruiser is enough to easily tear them to pieces. Although there are only 6 'Jianghe Class and Heavy Cruiser in front, it is enough to kill their light cruiser team!

"Damn it! Turn immediately and report to the commander that we have encountered the heavy cruiser formation of the Chinese. Perhaps the main force of the Chinese is not far away!" Brigadier General Lance said in horror.

His orders were sent to the flagship 'Pennsylvania, the battleship, William.

After receiving the telegram, Admiral Benson immediately ordered the US Navy's cruiser team, which had already gone south and was less than 50 kilometers away from the US Navy, rushed to reinforce!
Chapter completed!
