First, the U.S. Navy destroyers and light cruisers were driven away from Norfolk Naval Base, followed by the Philadelphia-class, heavy cruisers and battleships, as well as battlecruisers and battlecruisers, and finally light cruisers and destroyers. A large number of light cruisers and destroyers escorts
Around the battleship, it was like their bodyguards.
The flagship of the US Navy is the 'Pennsylvania, the USS Battleship, 6' Pennsylvania-class, and the battleships form a battleship squad, which is the 1st Battleship Detachment. The 6' Nevada-class, and the battleships form the 2nd Battleship Detachment, two' New York-class, and the battleships.
and three Wyoming-class battleships form the First Ship Detachment. Two Florida-class, battleships, two Delaware-class, battleships, two South Carolina-class, battleships and two Mississippi-class battleships form
The 4th Battleship Detachment. The remaining 5 Connecticut-class battleships form the 5th Battleship Squadron. The British Navy's six battleships form the 6th Battleship Squadron. The 10 battleships of the US Navy are also divided into two groups, among which,
Four "Colorado-class", battlecruisers form the 1st Battlecruiser Detachment, the remaining three "South Dakota-class, battlecruiser and three "North Carolina-class", battlecruisers form the 2nd Battlecruiser Detachment.
In addition, the Philadelphia-class heavy cruisers of the US Navy are also divided into four heavy cruisers, each heavy cruiser squad has eight heavy cruisers. The 8 Edinburgh-class heavy cruisers of the British fleet form the fifth heavy cruiser squad.
The fifty light cruisers of the US Navy were divided into 5 light cruisers, each with 10 light cruisers. The 16 light cruisers of the British fleet were also divided into two units, and the US was divided into eight light cruisers. In terms of destroyers, the United States
The eighty destroyers of the Navy were divided into eight squads, each with 10 destroyers. The 20 destroyers of the British fleet were also divided into two squads, each with ten destroyers. In addition to these warships, there were more than ten more
Large transport ships, they will provide supplementary supplies to the more than 200 warships of the US-UK joint fleet, which can be used for the fleet to fight at sea for at least two months!
With the sound of whistles, more than 200 warships of the United States-British Combined Fleet slowly sailed out of the Norfolk Naval Base and sailed south. They carried the hopes of the US government and even the American people.
They will be the last force of the United States to deal with China. If they can win, then the United States may turn the tables in this war. If even they lose, then the United States may be really finished!
William, commander of the U.S. Navy's East Coast Fleet and also commander of the U.S.-U.K.
Admiral Benson stood in the bridge of the USS Battleship, Pennsylvania, and was filled with emotion. As a senior general of the US Navy and a student of Ma Han, a representative of the US Navy, he personally participated in the previous two Sino-US Pacific Navy battles.
However, the first two naval battles were a crushing defeat by the US Navy. The United States completely lost its interests in the Pacific direction, exposing its US mainland to the Chinese army and may be attacked by the Chinese army at any time!
This greatly harmed the interests of the United States and was threatened by China in its subsequent development. Now, once China has enough strength, it has launched a war of destruction against the United States. Once the United States is defeated, the result will be
It's conceivable!
"Dean, this time I will definitely be able to defeat the Chinese and avenge you!" William.
Admiral Benson said in his heart that Ma Han was killed in the first Pacific Navy between China and the United States, which made William.
Admiral Benson was very guilty of himself and always wanted to avenge Ma Han. However, in the Second Sino-US Pacific Naval Battle, he was defeated again and captured by the Chinese. But even so
He did not give up. He hoped that one day he would succeed. And now, he seemed to have seen the day of success. This time the US Navy dispatched thirty advanced battleships and 10 battlecruisers.
In addition to the six battleships of the British Navy, it is already ten times that of the Chinese Navy in terms of main battleships! William.
Admiral Benson has sufficient reason to believe that the victory of this naval battle must belong to the United States!
"His Excellency Commander, the fleet has left the port and is adjusting its course. It is expected that we will arrive in the Bahamas in 5 days!" Edward, chief of staff of the US-UK joint fleet.
Lieutenant General Abol reported that the Norfolk Naval Base is only more than 1,300 kilometers away from the Bahamas, and if you sail at full speed, it will only take two days to arrive. But the Chinese Navy has not yet crossed the Mona Strait
·The United States and Britain will therefore deliberately slow down so that the troops can immediately enter the battle when they arrive in the waters near the Bahamas!
"Well! Let the seaplanes in the Bahamas pay attention to searching the surrounding waters. Once you find the traces of China!, report to us immediately! In addition, let some reconnaissance ships disguised as cargo ships also wait on the Chinese route, without any need to
Let the Chinese slip away!" William.
Admiral Benson ordered. At this moment, he was no longer worried about whether he could defeat the Chinese Navy. What he was worried about was whether the Chinese Navy would turn and slip away. In that case, the US Navy would want to catch the Chinese Navy in the vast Atlantic Ocean.
It was very difficult. William.
Admiral Benson doesn't want the opportunity to slip away like this!
"Yes, General, I will let the reconnaissance fleet do their best!" Edward.
Lieutenant General Abol said. He knew that this time was crucial to the US Navy. If the Chinese Navy slipped away, it would be very likely that all previous efforts would be wasted.
The news that the main force of the U.S. Navy left the Norfolk Naval Base was also learned by Chinese Military Intelligence Agency's spies in the United States. However, the United States has also done better and better counter-espionage measures. A day later, the MIIS agents were
The information was sent back to the country and then informed it to the General Staff and the Navy. The Navy sent the information to the Chinese Navy Expeditionary Fleet. When the commander of the Chinese Navy Expeditionary Fleet, Navy Marshal Li Dingxin received the information, it was already 1.
It's the 6th of the month.
Fortunately, the information was not too late, and the Chinese Navy Expeditionary Fleet was preparing to cross the Mona Strait and enter the Atlantic Ocean.
"Commander, it seems that the Americans are trying their best this time! Thirty battleships, 10 battlecruisers, 32 heavy cruisers, fifty light cruisers and eighty destroyers, this is the full strength of the US Navy
Right! As long as we can send them all into the Atlantic Ocean bottom, the Americans will lose!" Lieutenant General Hai Zhengsheng, chief of staff of the fleet, sighed. The US Navy has gathered such strong strength, which is really shocking!
In the first two Sino-US Pacific naval battles, they lost a lot of warships. But now, they have once again owned a powerful fleet, which is enough to prove the strong industrial strength of the United States. This also proves the imperial emperor
Wang Yuze's strategy of defeating the United States first and then entering Europe is correct. If he does not defeat the United States first, once the United States develops, he will be very likely to compete for world hegemony with this country with the largest industrial strength in the world.
Difficulty. Even if you can win, you may pay an unbearable price for it!
"It's more than that! There are also six battleships of the British, 8 heavy cruisers, 16 light cruisers and 20 destroyers. The British also threw all their money in it. If we kill them all in this battle,
, I'm afraid they don't even have the strength to block the Germans!" said Marshal Li Dingxin, commander of the Chinese Navy's local fleet. The British Navy now has only 22 battleships left. In addition to the six advanced battleships sent to the United States,
There are only 16 ships left. Although the German Navy has lost its main force in the Battle of the North Sea, if the remaining main ships are repaired, they will also pose a great threat to the UK!
"Commander, the enemy is coming in full force! We must grasp this battle well!" Lieutenant General Hai Zhengsheng said. After all, the entire US-UK joint fleet has a total of 46 main battleships, which are the three of the Chinese Navy's local fleet.
If the aircraft carrier formation is not the killer weapon, it would be very difficult for the Chinese Navy to defeat the US fleet!
"I have asked General Chen, the commander of the aircraft carrier formation in detail. He said that although the main battleships of the US-UK joint fleet have as many as 40, they are not considered as more than 300 carrier-based aircraft of four aircraft carriers.
What! Only by being able to launch a few waves of attacks in succession is enough to send all these main battleships to the bottom of the sea! What's more, aren't we still there then? Although the future naval battle will inevitably be the era of aircraft carriers, our battleships are not currently
Vegetarians can still sink the Americans' main battleship! The aircraft carrier-based aircraft can eat meat, so it is always okay for us to drink some soup!" Marshal Li Dingxin said with a smile. After knowing the strength of the US-UK joint fleet, he has already
Lieutenant General Chen Yuankun, the commander of the aircraft carrier formation, discussed this issue. Although the number of main ships of the British-American Combined Fleet is large, the aircraft carrier can launch an attack from 200 kilometers away, and send them all outside the strike range of the British-American Combined Fleet.
Go to the bottom of the sea!
On January 7, the Chinese Navy Expeditionary Fleet entered the Atlantic Ocean from the Mona Strait and then turned north. The Chinese side also learned about the movements of the US Navy. They were not afraid of the main force of the US Navy, but instead believed that this was the same as the US Navy.
Opportunity for a decisive battle! Since the US Navy wants to fight in the waters near the Bahamas, let this area become the burial place for the US-UK joint fleet!
