"Report to the base, the U.S. fleet includes two Delaware-class, battleships! Two Florida-class, battleships, four Philadelphia-class heavy cruisers, six light cruisers and ten destroyers." The Conghua, destroyer
The captain ordered the island with a serious expression. The American fleet was coming in full force, and it was not something that the small fleet stationed in Guadeloupe could handle. Even if all the warships of this Chinese fleet were added up, it was probably not one.
The opponent of the American battleship. This time, Guadeloupe is probably difficult to defend!
"Yes, Captain!" The communications corps immediately sent a telegram to Port Bastel, informing the base of the US fleet's strength.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" At this time, a series of shells exploded in front of the "Conghua Destroyer", and a series of water columns soared into the sky on the sea. At Edward.
Under Major General Abol's order, two Philadelphia-class heavy cruisers in the US fleet followed Conghua with two light cruisers.
‘Conghua, the captain of the destroyer immediately ordered the warship to accelerate and retreat to Bastel.
To fight against American heavy cruisers head-on, it would be a death-seeking effort.
The Philadelphia-class, heavy cruiser of the US Navy was obtained from the British Navy. The Devon-class, armored cruiser was built on a model. A series of data are almost the same as the Devon-class, armored cruiser.' Philadelphia
Class, heavy cruiser, 137.16 meters long, 21 meters wide, 792 meters draft, and 1 ton of water displacement. The maximum speed is 26 knots. The military equipment is three dual-mounted 210 mm main guns, 600 155 mm main guns, 22
The door is 37mm rapid-fire gun and two 18-inch torpedo tubes. At present, this heavy cruiser has become the main heavy cruiser of the US Navy. To date, more than 20 ships have been built, all equipped with the US Navy's West Coast Fleet.
'Conghua, destroyer is the latest class of the Chinese Navy. The Fuqing class destroyer has a maximum speed of up to 33 knots. Although it is not the opponent of the heavy cruisers and light cruisers of the US fleet in terms of firepower, if you want to escape, the US Navy cannot chase it at all.
superior!
The battle alarm has sounded, and the two light cruisers and two destroyers staying in the military port have already started to fire, and they have begun to slowly open the military port. The shore defense battalion and infantry battalion are also ready for combat.
The heavy artillery on the coastal defense fortress has also been aimed at the sea surface. However, no one dared to agree. When the Conghua destroyer sent back the combat power of the US fleet, the Chinese naval soldiers in the base were all
Feeling a great pressure. Everyone knows that this time, the Americans have put in all their strength to deal with the Guadeloupe naval base and want to occupy the place in one fell swoop. There is no doubt that the Chinese defenders here are in a situation.
It will be very dangerous.
"Send a telegram to Foshan, Huizhou, Zengcheng, and Lechang, and let them leave Guadeloupe without having to fight with the Americans to retain their strength. If things cannot be done, withdraw
Go to Chile in the south!" Colonel Yu Boxuan, commander of the Guadeloupe Naval Base, ordered that the base fight against the invading American fleet with several light cruisers and destroyers. It was simply a mantis armed chariot. There was no need to make unnecessary sacrifices.
.
"Yes, Commander!" The communication officer immediately went to convey the order.
Two light cruisers and two destroyers left the Port of Bastel and joined the destroyer of Conghua at sea. However, they did not go south immediately, but dealt with the American fleet on the sea. Although the American fleet was powerful
, but the maximum speed of both the light cruisers and destroyers of the Chinese fleet is above 30 knots, it is difficult for the US fleet to catch up. The Chinese fleet can take advantage of its speed advantage and constantly harass the US fleet, although it cannot cause any substance to the US fleet.
Sexual damage, but also made Edward, the commander of the American fleet.
Major General Abol was very annoyed.
"Let the Philadelphia, the USS Heavy Cruiser and the Boston, the USS Heavy Cruiser take four light cruisers and four destroyers to the back to protect the fleet of the 2nd Marine Division, and do not let those Chinese flies attack the troop transport ships!" Edward.
Major General Abol had to make such arrangements. The other four battleships carried two heavy cruisers, two light cruisers and six destroyers, heading directly towards Bastel Port.
At 8 a.m., the US fleet arrived at the sea 12 kilometers away from Bastel Harbor. The US Navy's battleships and heavy cruisers aimed their large main guns at the fortresses on the coast.
"Send signals to the yellow monkeys to surrender immediately, otherwise we will blow Bastell into ruins!" Edward.
General Abor said contemptuously. In his opinion, with the power he has now, it would be completely effortless to take down Guadeloupe and destroy the Chinese officers and soldiers on the island!
‘Florida, the flag bearer on the battleship contacted Bastel Port in flag language and conveyed Edward.
Admiral Abol's request!
"Damn it, these Americans are really arrogant and want to surrender. How is this possible? Commander gives orders to let these defeated generals taste our power!" said a three-year-old tall and mighty young major officer.
.He is Major Xiao Mingshan, the battalion commander of the Infantry Battalion at the Guadeloupe Naval Base.
"Yes! Commander! The Americans have battleships, and we also have heavy shore defense artillery. If they want to eat us in one bite, we will also break up a few of their teeth!" Another young master in his twenties and equally burly and tall was also very powerful and tall.
The officer said that he was Major Choi Yongquan, the battalion commander of the coastal defense battalion at the Guadeloupe Naval Base.
"Reply to the Americans, if you want Guadeloupe and take it yourself, we will never surrender!" said Colonel Yu Boxuan!
‘Florida, on the battleship, the communication officer went to Edward.
Major General Abol reported that China rejected the request of the US fleet, which made Edward.
Major General Abol was so embarrassed that he immediately ordered the attack!
"Boom! Boom!" The two Florida-class, battleships and two Delaware-class, battleships began shelling, and the 5mm main gun fired shells weighing hundreds of kilograms, and rushed towards Bastell at high speed at high speed
The port flew away, leaving sharp whistles in the air!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" A dense explosion sounded in Bastel Harbor, and orange balls of fire bloomed, and buildings were blown into ruins. The attack of the US fleet completely covered the entire port, and it was simply
There is no distinction between military or civilian goals.
"The fortress starts to fight back!" Colonel Yu Boxuan gritted his teeth and issued a counterattack order. Fortunately, the Chinese army had evacuated the port, otherwise there would be heavy casualties. However, he saw the painstakingly built port under the shelling of the US fleet.
Colonel Xu Boxuan felt very uncomfortable when he turned into ruins.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The coastal defense fortresses at Port Bastel opened fire and launched a counterattack at the US fleet.
However, the maximum caliber of the fortress cannon at Port Bastell is only 210 mm, which is difficult to cause fatal damage to the US Navy's battleships. On the contrary, it is a 5mm armor-piercing bomb fired by the US fleet battleship. If the angle is appropriate, it can
Defence to break through the fortress!
The firepower of the fortress cannon is very fierce, but the hit rate is not high. The US fleet is constantly cruising on the sea, and the fortress cannon needs to constantly adjust the angle of the artillery. On the other hand, the fortress is fixed on land, just like a target.
If it weren't for the fortress with a strong defense, it would have been destroyed by the US fleet!
"Boom!" A 305mm armor-piercing projectile hit a turret of the No. 2 Fortress. The two-meter-thick steel-concrete cast turret was penetrated. The shell exploded inside the turret, and more than a dozen gunners inside were immediately blown to pieces.
, the 210mm fortress cannon was completely destroyed!
"Damn it! The American battleship is too thick, so the heavy cruiser aimed at the Americans to open fire!" Major Cui Yongquan, the battalion commander of the coastal defense battalion, ordered the island.
The cannons in the fortress adjusted their shooting targets one after another. A few minutes later, dense shells fell on two heavy cruisers in the US fleet, and water columns rose around the heavy cruisers, and dangers were everywhere.
"Boom!" A shell fired by a 210mm fortress cannon hit the US Navy's Chicago, the heavy cruiser. The shell exploded on the foredeck, destroying the double-mounted 210mm main gun on the foredeck and killing it.
More than a dozen American sailors!
"General, 'Chicago, the roster was hit, the former main gun was destroyed, but it can continue to fight!" The communication officer said to Edward.
Major General Abol reported to the island.
"No, let's 'Chicago, the USS Heavy Cruiser and'Detroit, the USS Heavy Cruiser withdraw from the battle, there is no need to take such a big risk for the Chinese fortress, the four battleships are enough to blow their fortress into ruins!"
Edward.
Abol said cautiously!
"Yes, General!"
Soon, two heavy cruisers of the US fleet withdrew from the battle, but the fierce battle did not receive any impact, but became even more tragic. Four battleships of the US Navy continued to go to the Port of Basterle
The fortress opened fire, and dense shells kept hitting the fortress, one after another, the fortress and fortresses were destroyed, and the Chinese army suffered heavy losses. The counterattack of the Chinese army did not cause much damage to the US fleet, whether it was Delaware.
Class, battleship or Florida-class, battleship, and thick armor can withstand the bombardment of 210mm shore defense cannons, and at most it can only cause a little flesh injury, and it cannot cause fatal damage at all!
At 9 a.m., most of the forts in the Bastel Port Fortress were destroyed, and the shore defense battalion also suffered heavy losses. Several US battleships only paid a little bit of minor injuries. Seeing this, Colonel Yu Boxuan
I had to order to give up the Port of Bastel and retreat to the inland area to continue fighting!
