The design indicators of the "Montana-class" battleship are very strong!

As a new generation battleship that does not compromise on the width of the Panama Canal, after its width reached 36.9 meters, its standard displacement increased to 65,000 tons, catching up with the Japanese Yamato class. However, it did not blindly pursue the main gun caliber like the Japanese. It still used a mature 50-diameter 406mm triple main gun with four seats and 12 doors, making the main ammunition firepower unprecedentedly powerful, with a large increase in density, and significantly improved accuracy, range, and rate of fire!

The update of the power system ensures that it can sail at a high speed of 33 knots. It increases resistance to ocean waves, increases stability during shooting, and restores aiming speed in a volley, which is much better than the previous large numbers.

What is particularly prominent is that the full use of the space of the hull greatly enhances the thickness of the key protective armor box. The total armor thickness of the side main armor, the turret main armor, the bridge main armor and even the waterproof compartment are at least 16 inches, and the largest one is actually 18 inches high! Not only is it the same level as the Yamato-class, but the overall performance is qualitatively improved!

Because it was built immediately behind the Iowa class, with the goal of Yamato in Japan and Kunlun in China, with the acceleration of segmented manufacturing technology, two ships were launched into service after only less than a year of slowing down. If it weren't for Zhu Bin's continuous bombardment for a full year, which seriously disrupted his construction plan, it might have been possible that by the fall of this year, the total number of five ships would be completed, fully reflecting the high level of American industrial speed!

Now, the Montana-class battleship has encountered sufficient tests when it is put into actual combat for the first time! The 36 gunfire missiles fired by the remote design opponent Kunlun class hit the "Ohio" in the first wave of scattered fire!

In an instant, a violent explosion of earth-shaking explosions burst out dozens of brilliant fireballs in front, back, left and right, up and down the warships. In the dawn of dawn, it was like a sun rising on the Atlantic Ocean's sea. It was dazzling and stunning!

After the shelling, the missile weighed only about 300 kilograms, the terminal warhead was only a hundred kilograms, and the charge was only a dozen kilograms, which was the same as the armor-piercing bomb, but the terminal speed was maintained by more than 500 meters per second. The kinetic energy level could not keep up, but the accuracy was increased many times, almost all within the range of hits and near loss, giving the battleship a gorgeous bath all over it!

In an instant, the teak boards laid on the deck shattered millions of fragments, and as the orange flame rose, ignited the brilliant Mars, and blew the wind and spread the sea surface; the series armor-breaking warhead shot at an angle of about 45 degrees and knocked on the surface of the horizontal armor, but it could only gather downward to destroy the second compartment, and then scattered a large number of fragments and attacked in various ways. The weak structure inside was swept backwards, and the rolling smoke rushed out, creating a series of horrifying scenes!

The rest of the warheads hitting the main armor belt, turret, bridge, etc., all exploded on the surface, barely blasting some dents of varying depths on the surface of the steel plate, but it was not enough to cause damage to the steel plate structure. The large and dark traces looked like the naughty child's ink splash. Only two double 127 sub-cannons with a slightly lower armor thickness were destroyed, and a bunch of anti-aircraft cannons on the side of the forest were blown away. The rest were almost unscathed!

The crew was hiding up and down the warship, and only a fierce roar sounded suddenly, and the wide hull swayed slightly. With the explosion, some of the more external cabins were shocked and their heads were dizzy, and their feet were almost unstable, but they could barely stick to their posts!

The captain stayed in the command room of the bridge was startled by the explosion in front of him! However, after personally experiencing the strength of the impact, he immediately calmed down. He grabbed the handrail and looked forward with a bright look. When all the fireworks swelled upwards, only a small amount of fireheads burned and the smoke drifted with the wind, he asked calmly: "Every unit report the damage immediately!"

"The main armor is intact!"

"The main turret is intact! The shield is not abnormal! It is well-functioning and can be fired at any time!"

"The bridge was slightly damaged, and an sg41 air search radar was severely damaged, and it was difficult to repair it, and the rest was good!"

"The c2, f1, h1 sub-cannons were damaged and cannot operate for the time being! 6 40mm anti-cannons were damaged, and 3 20mm anti-cannons were damaged!"

"A seaplane was blown up, the fire was put out quickly, and the ejection track was good..."

In just a few minutes, a series of rewards continued to be summarized in front of the captain, and glanced lightly, and felt relieved. Colonel James's mouth rose and smiled, and shouted in a convincing and steady tone: "Our warships, armor is the best! Gentlemen, how much damage can the Chinese shells not cause to us!"

There was a burst of intense cheers everywhere in the warship!

On the flagship "Montana", Commander Nimitz received a report and knew that there was not much damage, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The explosion scene just now really scared him! If he came up, he would lose a main ship first, and he didn't know how to explain it to others or keep calm.

However, the worries in my heart cannot be expressed in any way. The morale of the military is bad enough to not add to the insult!

I continued to ask about the reconnaissance planes and peripheral ships, but I still did not find the whereabouts of the enemy ships fired. I didn’t know where the shells came out, which was the most deadly!

According to general rules, those guys will not be too far away, and the crisis is right in front of you, but where can you defend yourself? It’s a headache!

The explosion scene sent back by the drone made Zhu Bin excited for a while, and then he found that the guy was just emitting thick smoke and continued to rush on the sea. A decent hole did not open. He immediately became unhappy and slapped the table and cursed: "Why is this thing so powerful? It's simply inappropriate! I would have known to get her a more powerful charge!"

The flagship gunman looked sideways and complained in his heart: "You are content! You can use the main gun of the battleship to fire such expensive special warheads, it is purely because you have too much money! It was originally designed to deal with target units below light armored cruisers. It is a waste to use it to smash battleships with thick skin and flesh!

Zhu Bin himself knew this situation very well, but he refused to admit that he was just doing it. The second wave of shells was not shot for a long time. In addition to looking at the effect, he was also thinking about whether it was a waste of emotion to do this. He simply observed the Ohio that was hit from all angles.

It has to be admitted that the structural shape of the Montana-class battleship is more beautiful and generous than the previous Iowa-class. The bow of the ship is much more generous, and the four main turrets are evenly distributed. The extremely simple bridge is of moderate size and is never bloated. It is crossed on the water, like a great white shark swimming. The densely erected turrets are extremely in line with Zhu Bin's aesthetic sense. This is what a violent weapon should look like!

The ratio of the 12 main guns is definitely different from the old-fashioned fuso-level powerful and stable in Japan, as fast as a galloping horse to cut through the waves, and everything is suitable!

Only in this way can it be considered a target worth attacking. I believe it would be great to smash it hard with shells!

Five minutes later, Zhu Bin ordered an attack again! This time, it was still a volley of subsonic anti-ship missiles! 32 slender little guys leaned against the sea, as clever as a sea swallow, and lightly passed by the waves, turning around and turning around. He turned from the head of the Nimitz fleet and rushed towards the group of escort ships in front of it.

This time, several reconnaissance planes finally realized the terrifying figure, screaming and warning the fleet that all ships that had tightened their nerves to the limit without saying a word, all the secondary guns and anti-aircraft guns exploded. Following the preset plan, thousands of thick and thin gun tubes blasted out shells and bullets in all directions. They wove most of the sea on the side into a dense wall of death, almost impenetrable wind and rain!

Fire net interception! This is a tactic that has been proven to be very effective! Although the waste of shells is extremely serious and the strike effect is extremely average, it is the only way for the US military to stop missile strikes. The blind cat hits the dead mouse. Catch one is another!

The left side of the incomplete spindle-shaped array was covered with bullets. Nearly one kilometer and 10,000 meters away, the explosion of various shells, and prefabricated fragments formed an anger that was almost a steel storm. Tons of steel were flying in the air in one second, wishing to cut every inch of space into pieces!

However, all these actions are mostly useless!

The anti-ship missile, which was always long-range guided, bypassed the left side, rushed from the front towards the bow of the open-circuit ship, and penetrated sharply from the sea surface that was about ten meters high, easily drilled into the edge of the intercepting fire net. Only four were hit and injured, three were plunged into the water, and the rest hit the target!

Six American ships rushed to burst out amazing flames! In the flash of the explosion, thousands of tons of hulls jumped up fiercely, tons of fragments disintegrated and collapsed with the storm, and the large hulls were torn off, slapped around, and thousands of crew members were caught off guard, crushed by the terrible explosion force, killing instantly!

"Oh! God!"

On several battleships, the generals who witnessed all this with their own eyes moaned and watched in amazement as a heavy cruiser was plunged into different angles by six missiles. The majestic bridge was broken like toys in the explosion. The flying Mars fireballs were as dazzling as fireworks. The two bombed seaplanes that were separated from the catapult, half of their bodies dancing in the wind were very strange!

Light armored units, when encountering professional anti-ship missiles, the end will be a tragedy! The nearly miraculous hit accuracy makes people feel powerless from the bottom of their hearts. Whether it is the first time participating in the war or the veterans who have suffered heavy blows many times, they have completely understood a truth--in the future naval battle, as long as they are discovered, the end may be destruction!

Before we could pray for the poor guys, the firepower net of the remaining ships immediately spread forward, covering the first half, hoping that this would block the killer weapon that might be sent from behind.

But at least, I finally figured out the location of the Chinese ships. For a moment, hundreds of fighter jets hovered in the air swarmed into the suspected area. Some brave ones fired randomly against the water with navigation cannons, hoping to use this method to find out the sneaky guys who might be hiding in the dark - although they did not see the exact target in front of them.

When Zhu Bin saw this attitude, he couldn't help but laugh: "Oh, the reaction speed is not slow! Then let's add some more trouble to them!"

With a light wave, another wave of attacks followed.

In the aircraft carrier group far behind, dozens of twin-engine jet attack aircraft flew into the air one after another. Soon, they formed attack formations, whistling up to the sky, and then rushed into the US formation from behind.

The warships that were constantly maneuvering and evasive from the heights were locked firmly from the heights, and then smashed dozens of air-sea anti-ship missiles down fiercely!

At such a long distance, the subsonic jet attack aircraft is too tricky to make US fighter jets not have time to intercept. These sinister guys do not give people a chance to react at all, and easily drop missiles outside the distance of all artillery fire strikes. A short mid-stage guidance helps their autonomous radar lock the target, and they will immediately pull away, and will never drag them down!

When the US military plane discovered their whereabouts and wanted to rush over to intercept and entangle, the twin-engine fully-opened jet fighter was thrown away by just a high-speed climbing maneuver, turning around, and immediately biting the tail with a thick cannon and whipping it hard, killing more than a dozen aircraft before leaving!

At this time, dozens of anti-ship missiles that Hulala had already accelerated to Mach 0.8, and the condescending initiation attack caused the locked US military ships below 10,000 tons to overturn without hesitation!

The armor-piercing high warhead with a high explosive charge of only about 300 kilograms can be easily tear apart horizontal armor such as destroyers, light cruisers and supply ships. The bridge shell, thick chimney and even side steel plates. A center blossomed inside the slender hull. One of the terrifying guys who could paralyze 5,000-ton warships were smashed in pairs. No one who was stared at would run away!

In a rustling explosion, more than a dozen warships were destroyed and exploded into scrap iron. Rolling smoke came out, the hull broke, and it was crooked towards the Atlantic Ocean. It was only a short time issue.

The perpetrator's attack aircraft was not satisfied. After killing a bunch of enemy aircraft that rushed up to find fault, he went around to the right, fired out the remaining anti-ship missiles between about fifty kilometers, guided them to lock them, and then left to watch the battle.

At this time, Nimitz and the others didn't react at all. One after another, the continuous strikes within just half an hour made them embarrassed. The protective layer deployed on the periphery was stripped and destroyed little by little, exposing the main ships to the water surface without any cover. Although they were all the most powerful guys, they felt as if they were not wearing clothes!

The jet attack aircraft was too fast to convert, and the command of the artillery fire of the ship was too busy, and they didn't expect the tricks of attack methods. In a blink of an eye, more than a dozen ships on the right exploded and caught fire, mostly paralyzed!

The attack plane left, and all the auxiliary ships of the Nimitz fleet were hit so far, with two or three big cats left, and they were no longer in a state of chaos. A bunch of main ships were alone, drilling out of the explosion of their family members and spreading the sea, coming to the new water surface, looking around at a loss--Where is the enemy?

Nimitz didn't know how to describe his mood. It was really mixed, even colder as the wasteland blown by the cold wind, and he couldn't even raise the burning enthusiasm. This battle could not be fought. The enemy was always lurking quietly like a pack of wolves in the periphery that he could not reach. He was so embarrassed that he had no temper at all. He wanted to fight back and had no choice!

What's even more vicious is that the fighter jets that took off before the aircraft carrier were destroyed, flew around in the sky like headless flies. Apart from occasionally dealing with attack aircraft, the rest could only watch them run away without rushing to land. It became impossible to track and attack their aircraft carrier group.

The carrier-based aircraft that took off in a hurry had limited fuel after all. The altitude was constantly changing in combat mode, and the air stagnation time was limited. After being tossed by Zhu Bin for nearly two hours, they all entered a dangerous situation of fuel exhaustion. If you want to land, the surrounding radius of 500 kilometers was the sea. If you want to engage in a suicide attack, you don’t know where to start!

Zhu Bin didn't want to engage in air entanglement with them. It was the wisest way to avoid air entanglements. He didn't kill all the aircraft carriers, so he was already very generous. At this time, how could he give the Americans a chance to successfully attack?

Just using missile attacks every now and then, the Nimitz formation was ripped out from all angles, and the escort fleet was broken. The remaining guys were the hard dishes for the main meal. The main fleet, which was always in stealth mode, quietly reached a distance of 30 nautical miles, and lightly penetrated from the side and rear, forming an arc-shaped battle line at the tail!

As the last few fighter planes rushed to the sea helplessly, the pilot parachuted and escaped, and the air power of the Nimitz fleet was completely lost! Only the unclimate seaplanes were left, hovering in vain.

At this moment, Zhu Bin's four Kunlun-class battleships finally showed their sharp teeth. After replacing the bottom concave extended-range bomb, he aimed at the enemy ships moving forward in the two columns and fired a volley!

Now, he could not hide his way! The battleships after pulling out the stance, the smoke of fire, the rustling sea surface, and the loud rumbling sounds all gave the US reconnaissance planes that were dealing with each other like dark night lights. The dark shells that suddenly appeared from the strange sea surface, the faint crisis that rushed out of the air, and the rumbling sounds all witnessed their existence. In an instant, the heart-wrenching warning sounds spread throughout the broken formation!

Nimitz turned around, it was too late!

The whistling shells were opened with an arc-shaped bottom-shaped line of more than ten kilometers long, and thirty-six heavy armor-piercing bombs shot towards the core point, aiming at the Illinois battleship and smashing them down at the very long distance. Three shots hit and one sword to seal the throat. The boiling fireworks exploded made everyone's hearts feel like they were clenched tightly by an invisible hand, and they were so full of energy!

"Fight for everyone!"

Nimitz roared, and the four battleships turned together, facing the exposed whereabouts of the enemy ship, turned right and rudder crossing the front, and fought back with all their might!
Chapter completed!
