Now, Nimitz finally realized that he would die. His previous defeats and escape had become a heart-wrenching problem. As a navy general, it was a shame to not face death with thousands of soldiers in the fierce battle.

This time, he can no longer be a deserter!

The four battleships stripped naked, emitting rolling smoke, quickly turned right and turned across the top of Zhu Bin's fleet. The scattered arrays interlaced with a sense of resolute heroism.

With a distance of more than thirty nautical miles, even the armor-breaking power of the bottom concave extended range bomb is only limited. Even if it is hit by a few shots, whether it is the Iowa class or the Montana class, it will only damage the fur without causing serious damage. Nimitz simply lets the four warships resist and then forcing the enemy ship at full speed!

There is no way. If you want to use your naval gun to kill the opponent, you must fire within 30 kilometers to ensure that the 406mm cannon with a 50-fold body tube can penetrate the weak armor. If you want to break the main armor and bridge armor, you must at least close to within 18 kilometers, provided that the opponent does not make any mistakes.

The hatchback hedges, the approach speed is extremely fast!

Zhu Bin welcomed the Americans who dared to turn back and fight to the decisive battle without any responsibility. He happily commanded the four battleships to concentrate their firepower, aimed at one of them, and refused to relax at all. Do you think I could wait steadily to enter the ultimate kill distance? There was no door!

The Kunlun-class battleship has a long range of bottom concave extended range and good speed. It has a very obvious effect on cleaning and cracking down on the superstructure of US warships!

Unlike contemporary naval artillery warfare technology, with the assistance of a variety of early warning aircraft, drones and ship radars, almost ten seconds after a round of shells was fired and just about ten kilometers away. The intelligent fire control system predicts the ballistic arc and landing point. Whether it hits or not, there is no need to wait for the shell to explode to raise the fire water column, and use optical instruments and radar ranging lateral measurement, but can accurately feed back the distance to the meter level.

Such a quick reaction. After the next round of shell launching drugs is assembled, the correction and aiming have been automatically completed. The shots fired will further enhance the accuracy. The landing point will be completed in the prediction of the enemy ship's posture and the simulation calculation of the distance area. The accuracy is definitely not something that the navy can imagine these days!

As long as you have several rounds of shooting, the firing error of your own artillery, the determination of the maneuvering posture and speed of the enemy ship, the influence of air resistance, wind direction and humidity, etc., all calibrations are completed. What you enter next is the stage of precise strikes. Each volley will definitely have a considerable proportion of hits, rather than hitting like a blind cat hitting a dead mouse, so that hitting 24 kilometers away is considered a rare miracle.

That kind of thing does not exist in the Zhu Family Fleet!

Four US battleships that work hard to maneuver and detour will be baptized by a round of shells almost every minute. The landing points, density, and small distances of dispersion of each round are shocking!

Clusters of shells kept falling on the warships and around them. With the explosions, large groups of flames bloomed from the superstructure, tons of steel, a large number of anti-aircraft guns, secondary turrets, antennas, radars, chimneys, seaplanes, and other structures were blown up at any time and flew into the sky!

Staying in the last bridge of armor, I witnessed the mess on the deck of the ship below, sweeping flames, but I was powerless. That kind of torment was really not something that ordinary people could bear!

The bomb was almost lost and fell into the water next to the battleship. With the rumbling sound, thick water columns rushed up one or two hundred meters, hundreds of tons of sea water hit the ship hard, and the huge waves raised crests were hitting the bow of the ship, and the vibrating people on the ship kept shaking, as if they had entered an unprecedented terrible storm!

After the distance between the two sides gradually entered 40 kilometers, the four Kunlun-class warships began to fight each other, aiming at an enemy ship for concentrated bombardment. After more than ten rounds of volley correction, the coordination performance of the artillery and hull entered a better stage. Just a volley of a warship can also ensure a considerable hit rate, so that the four US ships will always be submerged in constant explosions. Every minute, every kilometer forward, they must be baptized by artillery fire!

On the Montana battleship, Nimitz could not remember how many bombardments he had been. The heavy shells that suddenly fell down and hit the hull hard even if they failed to penetrate the armor and smash the turret, the impact of each explosion made him tremble all over, his cheeks trembled, and his fingers were pinched white!

Under Zhu Bin's command, the attack method was very insidious. After one round of falls, the fire caused by the explosion would rage for a while. The US military could not wait for a second time, so they could only send out damage controls to extinguish it. But just as it was eliminated, they came again in the next round.

This way, it will not make people clean up quickly, nor will it keep hitting people numb and get used to it, so that the damaging personnel and soldiers operating the turrets will always be frightened. The nervousness of not knowing when the disaster will come is too tormenting!

The captain of the Montana, Colonel Blair, screamed in anger at this, threw his hat to the ground, and roared in front of Nimitz: "It's the Chinese who should go to hell! It's simply a shame for the navy! Coward! Bastard! He actually used such despicable and vulgar methods to fight, which is shameless!"

Either you kill me quickly or get out of here. How is this a way to play? There is no need to have anti-ship missiles, and I plan to play with the mouse. Do you really think we have no way to do it?

Blair stared at Nimitz angrily. He said, "Mr. Commander, aren't you going to say anything?" It's better for everyone to have something to do. At least, we must share the same hatred for the enemy!"

Nimitz saw what he meant and smiled slightly, "Col. Since we already understand our situation, please accept it calmly! The Chinese hope to use the naval gun to perform a classic duel. Of course, we cannot retreat. Command with peace of mind and prepare for the battle!"

"Yes! General!"

Blair could only agree depressedly. He was not timid, but just angry!

Fortunately, the other party was so arrogant that he actually let the warships shoot at different levels. Otherwise, with their accuracy and concentrated attacks, the superstructure of one of the ships would have been cleaned up at this time!

If a warship has been swept away the upper deck structure, the turrets alone cannot fight, there is no radar, no optical range measurement. There is no shooting command, no communication, and the enemy cannot see clearly where they are. Apart from being a target, I don’t know what else to do.

The US military's cross-cutting battle for the T-head was long under Zhu Bin's gaze, and it was about to succeed. The four Kunlun-class ships suddenly divided into two groups, one by one, two rudders turned right and the enemy ships in parallel in a figure-eight shape; the other two rudders turned left and crossed the tails of the US ships to seize the T-head position. After the power was fully opened, when they entered about 30 kilometers, they had successfully brought the last two US warships over. The short-term double turret strikes were several times, and soon returned to the angle of three turret volleys.

35 kilometers! It is already the range of the MK7 main gun! Although this distance is basically not hit, fireworks on the four US ships are rising, falling in size, and they can see that they are shaking and are shaken by the falling shells, making it difficult to aim. Nimitz still ordered to open fire!

The artillery that had only been tested after completion was finally exploded! The two Montana-class 12 main guns were locked in one area, six shots and one set of cracks. They were not afraid of interfering with each other, but were afraid of not hitting the target and spreading too much. They locked in an enemy ship and roared roaring!

They were four battleships fired at one target! The strike density of 42 guns, and the explosion range caused by a volley of fire was enough to cover the size of two square kilometers. Even if they did not have a correct head, they could run three or four kilometers away from 35 kilometers away, but it did not prevent them from having a certain impact on the enemy ships - in theory. That's it!

Zhu Bin was too lazy to even open the protective cover. He calmly looked at the ballistic trajectory calculated by the defense officer, and scattered around like twine. He encountered his own warship at all, and even had no chance to fly the waves up. He couldn't help but shake his head. The artillery battles these days are really not very good!

It's definitely because he stood and talked without a pain. He didn't think about what kind of equipment they were relying on to fight? The original radar was powerless to targets 40 kilometers away. For non-stealth design battleships at a distance of 30 kilometers, they could only have a vague shadow. Under the maneuvering attitude, the data speed was changed, and the calculation results could not even keep up with the visual inspection. Apart from staring at a target with obvious maneuvering rules for a long time, don't expect to lock in the command design at once. That's what you imagine!

It is still necessary to rely on the commander with sharp eyes to ensure the calibration of the shooting elements through an optical rangefinder. You must wait for the flash of the shells to fall, the rising water column, and the figure of the warship to determine what kind of data adjustments should be taken for the next strike.

What is more intriguing is that Zhu Bin's four warships are designed with stealth hulls, and it is not easy to detect when painted in the sea and sky. Do not expect to see smoke when nuclear power propulsion. When not firing, it is not easy to see clearly. If there is a considerable degree of optical disguise, you can see a little shadow after looking thirty-five kilometers away. It is quite amazing!

At this time, the four US ships were hit at least seven or eight or even dozens of shells, and the explosion blew up the superstructure. Under the smoke and fire, it was very difficult to aim with the optical instruments on the bridge! Not to mention hitting the target, it can ensure that you can see the target clearly every time, even if it is awesome!

Zhu Bin also replaced all four warship shells with conventional armor-piercing shells. Anyway, the range of the 420mm gun is sufficient, and it has a high initial velocity, stable ballistics, heavy warhead, and high hardness. The armor-piercing ability is obviously higher than that of the opponent. As long as it is close to firing, the result is self-evident.

Nimitz probably really had the awareness of dying. He put his hat upright, his eyes were bright, his face was unusually calm, and he stood firmly in the crisis-ridden bridge command room. He personally directed the four main battleships to charge forward bravely, and kept snatching the advantageous positions with the enemy ships. While gradually getting closer, he opened fire and fired at the maximum speed!

At the same time, he did not forget to boost morale and shouted to all ships: "This is a battle that concerns the life and death of the United States. We have no way out, and the coastline is behind us! There is no other way out except to sacrifice our lives to entangle the enemy! Fight with all our might!"

"God bless America, we will win!"

The craziest shouts of tens of thousands of people even overwhelmed the explosion of shells. Everyone struggled on their posts and devoted themselves to the battle. This was the last burning of blood!

30 kilometers! The Kunlun-class 420mm main gun began to exert its terrible penetration! It can penetrate more than 400mm vertical armor, and the end of the shot from a high angle is amazingly fast and has strong kinetic energy. It hits the horizontal armor of the US ships hard, and easily tear opens two layers of steel plates in a row. It is poured into the lower cabin!

The crazy explosion showed amazing destructive power. The flames and steel fragments that were raging horizontally can clear the structure of an area with a radius of more than ten meters or even larger at one time. The broken compartment steel plates collapsed and killed, and people would die when they encountered it!

In just a few minutes, after the Illinois hit eight shells in a row, one finally broke the bottom of the chimney. The explosion that got into the air caused damage to a boiler, a raging fire and a rolling smoke, flooding the towering bridge. The optical aiming and radar system were basically paralyzed, and even the enemy ship could not be seen even when the guns were fired!

Not long after, the Ohio was hit at close range, and three consecutive low-extending ballistic shells were hit by the shells at a distance of 26 kilometers. They were smashed into the bow, the upper part and the base of the bridge respectively. The bow was directly penetrated, and the cracks caused by the explosion recoil extended to the waterline, causing the irrigation and the bow to tilt.

The shell hit three meters below the armor belt, and the explosion caused the physical deformation of the waterline armored steel, which could not resist the kinetic energy and collapsed. The fragments that impacted inward not only exploded the inner lining board. Furthermore, they almost destroyed the second layer of the compartment armor!

A shot hitting the base of the bridge made a double-company secondary gun almost sweep away. The protruding outer armor of the cabin resisted the through-fire, but the power of the explosion could not be completely eliminated. Instead, it caused dozens of people to kill the shocking force. The fragments of shells raged over and over again, exploding clusters of anti-aircraft guns laid there!

In order to aim and shoot at the right time, the speed of the four US ships was reduced to below 30 knots. In contrast, the four Kunlun-class ships were unscrupulously increased to 35 knots. After pinching their heads and tails, the hit rate and depth-passing effect of the bombardment launched from behind were linearly increased. The US ship's 16-inch armored part was completely unstoppable!

Around 24 kilometers, the Kentucky battleship had just opened fire and made a near loss. The officers and soldiers cheered up and down without landing. The round of shells hit head-on completely blocked their little joy!

The 420mm armor-piercing projectile that exerted its terrible lethal power penetrated the A turret through the upper part of the bow. The 500mm armor could not resist it. It crawled in and cleared the entire group of people. The explosion impact raged inside, causing the cannon seat to deform, and the turret rotation mechanism was deadlocked, almost lifting it off from the top!

In just less than a minute, the next round of volleys rushed into the middle of the bridge from the side, and the external armor was sharply tore open, smashing the inner composite armor, blowing half of the main mast, causing overall deformation. In the squeaking and strange screams, it bent down and may collapse at any time!

The Kentucky was not allowed to fight back, so it rushed left and right to try to escape, but at this time, they had already entered a completely passive role. The bad thing was that the other Kunlun ship, who saw the cheap, also turned the muzzle and provided two triple turrets to join the volley attack. After only two rounds, the shells smashed from the side penetrated through the 19-degree tilt armor, and smashed two shells in a row from the thickest part, and penetrated into the gorgeous explosion in the watertight compartment in the middle!

The slender Kentucky suddenly trembled, and two brilliant balls of fire suddenly rushed out dozens of meters from the side. The orange light squeezed out several four or five meters long cracks from the nozzle and expanded sharply, swallowing half of the ship's range. The hull was tilted overturned to the other side, with an angle of more than 10, then deflected back. The crack that was planted underwater began to gush and madly poured water, and it turned crooked in a blink of an eye!

The turrets on the warship were all silent, but it was the beginning of her disaster!

The two Kunlun ships concentrated their firepower without hesitation and crazily poured out hundreds of shells from two angles. Their own gun barrels were red. After the Kentucky was hit more than twenty consecutive times, all the turrets were abandoned, the front and rear bridges collapsed, the upper deck buildings were swept away, and the shells poured from the above deck hit the power compartment in succession caused a boiler explosion. The holes penetrated on the side were intensified, the servo was twisted and deadlocked, the speed dropped sharply to zero, and the raging fire spread everywhere, and it was a foregone conclusion!

Nimitz saw it clearly, but he had no choice. He tried hard to command the distance, but was always limited to death 20 kilometers away and it was difficult to make progress. The opponent's volley shots of more than one round per minute will hit or lose near. The warship that was tilted left and right can't be peaceful. Aim to shoot? Stop dreaming!

It is the most heartbreaking thing to be beaten and fight back. Seeing that the situation is not good, Ohio quickly accelerated and rushed up to serve as a shield to help them get a brief breathing opportunity, but the price was huge - more than a dozen shots hit the shells in a row, and in less than ten minutes, the deck was knocked down by the deck. The water line armor penetrated through many times, the water inlet was tilted, the C turret in the rear was scrapped, the radar was all done, the optical rangefinder was damaged, and the bridge armor was stripped off one layer.

When she successfully switched with the Montana and Nimitz's ship was adjusted and restored its aiming volley, the last Iowa-class warship behind the back, the Illinois, suddenly made a loud noise, and the ammunition depot exploded, and the hull jumped up more than ten meters high from the water surface, and it was almost over!

In the blocked US radio frequency band, a communication suddenly came in toughly, and Zhu Bin's unscrupulous voice rushed straight to their heads: "General Nimitz, you can no longer win this war. For the sake of the navy, surrender more happily! That can preserve the decency of the soldiers. I will strictly follow the Geneva Convention and treat the prisoners with preferential treatment!"

Nimitz was shocked, then frowned and replied firmly: "There are only soldiers who died in battle in the United States, and we will never surrender!"
Chapter completed!
