The distance of 20 kilometers is only 20 minutes for light cruisers and destroyers that have accelerated to twenty knots, it can enter an effective range. The Chinese Navy's four light cruisers and six destroyers are light cruisers in
In the front, the destroyer was in the rear and rushed towards the formation of the 8th destroyer of the US Navy. After all, the two double-mounted 155mm naval guns on the light cruiser are undoubtedly fatal to these destroyers with a displacement of only 1,000 tons.
If it is hit, it will be severely damaged even if it is not dead!
"Boom! Boom!" At 8:42, when there was still 8 kilometers away from the U.S. Navy's Byg Flying Ship formation, Zhoushan, the light cruiser fired first. Two double-mounted 155mm naval guns began to attack the U.S.
The destroyer formation launched a strike, and the armor-piercing bombs weighing 70 to 80 kilograms flew towards the US fleet. The shells flew at high speed under the action of kinetic energy, cutting through the air and making a sharp roar!
After the Zhoushan light cruiser opened fire, the Taizhou light cruiser behind it,
The Lishui, the light cruiser and the Jinhua, also opened fire one after another. The dense shells flew towards the US Navy's Bzg Flying Detachment, and the shells exploded on the sea, splashing water columns!
"Damn it! Fight back! Fight back!" On the destroyer Alvin, Colonel Paul ordered loudly. The four light cruisers of the Chinese Navy opened fire frantically, which put great pressure on the U.S. Navy's Byg Flying Detachment.
.These 155mm armor-piercing shells may not cause any damage to the rough and thick battleships, but for these destroyers, as long as they get a shot, they will suffer!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The 762mm rapid-fire guns on the destroyers of the Byg Fleet of the US Navy also opened fire one after another. Although the rapid-fire guns are small, they have very fast fire speeds. However, at a distance of eight kilometers,
The hit rate is very low. If you want to hit the warships of the Chinese Navy, you may need God's blessing!
"Sir, the distance is too far, our rapid-fire cannon cannot hit the target. And at this distance, even if it hits the opponent's warship, it may not be able to break the armor of their warship!" said a major officer.
"Damn it, then get closer! Humph! Those despicable yellow monkeys thought we were easy to bully, and I must make them regret it! Tell everyone, as long as we persist, we will win! The 4th Light Cruiser formation will be an hour later
If you can arrive, it will be time for us to teach those yellow monkeys a lesson!" Colonel Paul said to everyone. The destroyer with more than 1,000 tons seemed to be in front of the light cruiser with a displacement of more than 6,000 tons in the Chinese Navy.
So small, it's like a toddler trying to fight with an adult!
"Boom!" An explosion sounded in the queue of the 8th Destroyer Detachment of the US Navy. Smoke and firelight enveloped a destroyer in the queue. The entire bridge seemed to be shrouded in thick smoke.
"Sir, it's the 'Ba District, No.!' the 'Ba District, No.!" a low-level officer shouted loudly.
"Ask, Ba, whether their injuries are important? Can you continue to fight!" Colonel Paul asked quickly, and at the same time, he also had a bad premonition in his heart. The 155mm ship of the Chinese light cruiser was 155mm ship
The shelling hit the bridge, the Ba District, must have suffered severe damage.
Two minutes later, the destroyer of the Ba District responded to Colonel Paul. Because the bridge was hit, several officers including the captain and the navigator were all killed. Only the commander of the envoy escaped.
The destroyer is now commanding. However, the firepower of the destroyer in Ba District has not been damaged, and all four 762mm rapid-fire guns can continue to fire!
Under the order of Colonel Paul, ten destroyers of the Bz Fleet began to accelerate towards the vanguard formation of the Chinese Navy, hoping to narrow the combat distance between the two sides so that their naval guns could threaten the other side.
The power of the 762mm rapid-fire cannon must be at least about three thousand meters away to exert its maximum power!
The distance between the two sides continued to be closer. At a distance of five thousand meters, the 105mm secondary guns of four light cruisers of the Chinese Navy also opened fire, and the 105mm naval guns on the other six destroyers also began to fire at the US military.
A light cruiser has 10 5mm secondary guns and 8 88mm rapid-fire guns. Although these cannons are installed on both sides of the warship and only half can fire at the target, this is for the U.S. Navy's Byg Flying Ship Unit.
It's also a very terrifying firepower strike!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The dense shells exploded around the U.S. Navy's Byg Flying Ship, and water columns splashed on the sea.
The destroyer has a small displacement and at most it has a thin layer of armor in key areas. Even small-caliber artillery can cause considerable damage to the destroyer. What's more, whether it is a 155mm ship, 105mm naval gun or 88
Millimeter rapid-fire can cause fatal damage to the US destroyers. At this time, the US Navy's 10th Destroyer Detachment took the initiative to launch an attack on the Chinese Navy's Forward formation, which looked very much like he was seeking death!
"Sir, 'Cassin, the USS was shot and caught fire.'Duncan, the ship was hit at the tail and is now entering the water. They requested to withdraw from the battle.'Dunn, the USS was hit continuously, and the damage manager could not block it.
The loophole, they requested permission to abandon the warship!" A communication officer reported to Colonel Paul.
"Author their request!" Colonel Paul said with a dark face. Although the decisive factor in the victory of the sea was the duel between the main battleships such as battleships, which was also the most eye-catching and eye-catching. However, the small battleships were the most decisive and eye-catching.
The battles between the two were also very tragic. Without armor protection, if a small warship is hit, it is very likely to be sunk. At the same time, the casualties of the sailors on the warship are also very large!
The battle only took ten minutes to begin, and the US Navy's Bzg Frigate lost a destroyer, and one of the destroyers withdrew from the battle due to injuries. Several of the remaining eight destroyers were wounded.
After paying a heavy price, the US can still narrow the combat distance between the two sides to about 4,000 meters. At this distance, the 762mm rapid-fire cannons equipped on their destroyers can barely face China
The navy's light cruisers and destroyers pose a threat. Of course, although the armor of the light cruiser is relatively weak, it is very difficult to tear open these armors with a 76.2 mm caliber rapid-fire cannon. Not to mention the turrets that are key to protecting,
Key locations such as bridges and engine room!
"After this battle is over, the bureaucrats in the Navy must also equip the destroyers with 105mm naval guns! Although the 762mm rapid-fire gun is powerful, its power is too small!" Colonel Paul secretly said.
He said. However, he would never have a few more opportunities. After the US Navy lost this maritime decisive battle, it would directly lead to the demise of the United States. After the United States was destroyed, there would naturally be no US Navy!
After the US Navy's Bzg Flying Force narrowed the distance between the two sides to about 4,000 meters, the Chinese Navy's forward formation began to turn under the order of Lieutenant Colonel Deng Wei, always keeping the distance between the two sides at about 4,000 meters.
The U.S. Navy's Byg Flying Fleet will be closer. Although the 762mm rapid-fire guns equipped on the U.S. Navy's Byg Flying Fleet will not pose a fatal threat to the Chinese Navy's light cruiser even if it is closer to two or three thousand meters.
.But don't forget that the most powerful weapon of destroyers is not naval guns, but torpedoes! Compared with the Chinese Navy's non-focus on torpedoes, the US Navy attaches great importance to torpedoes. All warships, including battleships, are installed.
The torpedo launcher. Even if the Chinese Navy's Ningbo-class light cruiser has a displacement of more than 6,000 tons, if it is hit by the US Navy's torpedo, it will suffer severe damage even if it does not die!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The sound of cannons rumbled on the sea, and the shells flew through the air, then exploded on the sea, splashing water columns. Although the fierce battle here was not as thrilling as the battleship duel, it was tragic at the level of tragedy.
But it is not bad at all. However, the 8th Destroyer Detachment of the US Navy is completely suppressed. Warships are constantly hit, injured or even sunk. They want to persevere until the arrival of the US Navy reinforcements, it seems
It's unlikely!
"Sir, the Ba District, the battle of the USS has sunk, the Banhan, the USS and the Berga, also suffered heavy damage in the morning and lost its combat effectiveness! Now that we have lost half of the warships, we should retreat! Keep going, let's hold on!
, We will all be sunk!"''The captain of the destroyer Alvin suggested to Colonel Paul. It was only half an hour before the naval battle began, and the U.S. Navy's Byg Flying Force lost more than half of it, and they
The casualties caused to the Chinese Navy's vanguard formation were very limited. And as more and more warships were sunk or severely damaged, the remaining intact warships suffered more and more firepower.
If this continues, it will be a matter of time before they are hit or even sunk. The reinforcements of the US Navy have not yet arrived at the battlefield. When the reinforcements arrive, they may have to collect their bodies!
"Order all warships to turn and move closer to the PB cruiser team!" Colonel Paul finally ordered. He knew that if he continued to persevere, he might be completely over.
"The Americans want to run away? Can they run away? Order the ships to speed up the pursuit, and don't let the Americans run away!" Lieutenant Colonel #天明天小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小�
