"Oh no! I'm fooled!"

The commanders on several destroyers made similar exclamations from their hearts at the same time, and shouted loudly without saying a word: "Do not to escape! The Chinese warship is on fire!"

Where can I do it? The main warships of the Chinese Navy have always adhered to the style of not making a sound, and they will never waste ammunition without aiming at the target. But as long as you have a certain degree of confidence, the shells that are fired must be bloody!

However, the distance between just 20 kilometers is only a distance of 20 kilometers. In the naval battle, it is the space for battleship heavy artillery to exert its lethality. The two ships who had accumulated power for a long time were already hungry and thirsty. At this time, when they saw the delicious food delivered to their door, there was nothing to be polite? They made a volley with several volleys. Several destroyers who made the mistake were immediately tragic, and they were bombed and exploded in a blink of an eye!

What is the scene when a 1.2-ton shell hits a small ship that is only 2,000 tons? It's like a hammer hitting an egg! The steel plate that can't even withstand the air cannon bullets, hitting a storm of 600 meters at the end, almost every hit is passed through, and the thin hull is made into a transparent hole!

Those are not just 420mm bullet holes. After the first collision collapsed, the bullet head corrected its posture and continuously penetrated the steel plate of the hull. After the inner compartment, the huge kinetic energy was released to its fullest. No matter what it touches, it would be directly shattered. The shock wave caused exploded in the narrow space, and could even cause people in the compartment to be bombarded by hammers!

The final explosion was actually more like the last straw that broke the camel's back. The hull on the verge of collapse was squeezed and torn off and fell apart. The explosion caught fire and turned into countless steel parts, disintegrating on the sea and sinking!

The speed and speed are so fast that people don’t have time to avoid any evasion. Several destroyers have become traces of the seabed in the large clouds of explosions!

In the darkness, it was too far away that they could not see their experience on the flagship where Spruins was located, but the screams of despair and the final roar were constantly heard from the radio that were deliberately closed. It was enough to say everything.

Looking at his subordinates looking at him, Spruins firmly implemented his decision: "No matter how sacrifice is, the Chinese fleet cannot force it into Midway Island! Otherwise, our previous efforts will become meaningless! Time! The rear needs more time to prepare, and we must restrain the enemy!"

When everyone was silent, there was only one way - to exchange their lives for the hope of the entire United States.

Spruins also knew that his request was too much, but there was no way. In war, there was always someone who had to sacrifice. Either us, they, or someone, for the ultimate goal, no one is indispensable. In the end, it will not be a waste of effort.

The sea at night is the most bizarre. It is full of dangers, and no one knows what accidents they may encounter.

The weather in the Pacific is not that mild. The strong winds and waves, inexplicable fog and rain often come, and the stirring of fierce fighting for two consecutive days, God knows what changes will happen.

The ships of both sides were useless to observe with their own eyes, and radar became an important means for each other to discover and aim. The Americans were not sure about this. Their enemies were too weird. Several main battleships seemed to be invisible in the dark. Sometimes, they were obviously wandering not far away. There was no special reaction on the radar!

This is very dangerous! Think about it, even though the super battleship of more than 60,000 tons was quietly approaching more than ten kilometers, the radar showed the signal strength of the destroyer. If you were careless, how much trouble would the opponent suddenly fire a heavy artillery?

But Chinese people can do it.

They can't be allowed to attack Midway! Spruins sent out most of the ships except aircraft carriers, accelerating and placing them around the center line, blocking head-on with an arc-shaped array.

After a large number of ships changed their array, the radar signal formed was fed back on the "Kunlun" battleship. Even if it was as rigorous as Sa Shijun, he couldn't help but smile and said lightly: "The Americans have taken the bait! Order to go on and prepare for the battle!"

The wireless signal instantly spread to the sea surface, and all the warships of the entire squadron quietly changed formations. The destroyers overtaken from the rear, opened all the ship-based launch tubes, and each locked several targets ready to go!

In the center, the two battleships that were originally advancing in unison quickly turned, and huge waves were spreading on the deep and gloomy sea surface. The huge hull was crossing, and the main turret and the secondary turret turned around together to lock in the enemy ships that were looming in the rich night in the distance--two South Dakota-class battleships!

Yes, the US military was fooled!

From beginning to end, they never thought that directly attacking Midway Island and destroying the US Pacific Fleet opposite was the real goal! Such an active attack would be saved by attacking, forcing the Americans to use warships to block it. Next, it is the time to harvest!

"The Kunlun Mountain turns completed! The main gun locks the target!"

"The Tianshan number is maneuvered in place, locking the predetermined target, and completing it!"

"The Lingshan Island is out in place, and the battle is ready to be completed!"

"Zhoushan Island has arrived at the predetermined location, the weapon is ready, and we are waiting for instructions!"

...A series of news poured into the command channel. Sa Shijun looked up, gently patted his hand on the table, and shouted decisively: "Let's fire!"

"fire!"

"emission!"

"beat!"

The next second, more than a dozen roars burst out, followed by the ships of all sizes and big trembled together. The dazzling light suddenly tore through the thick night sky and shone between the surging sea. Then, a loud rumbling sound shocked the sky and resounded throughout the fields!

"Ship gun bombardment! All avoid it!"

On the US warship that had just completed its array of formations, countless people discovered this scene at the same time and immediately let out the greatest roar. The sound was filled with horror and despair!

Too close! The experienced lookout hand was just based on the sudden appearance of the opponent's huge ship in the flash, and immediately judged that they were not even 20 kilometers away! At such a distance, if there was a radar shooting and a long-term aim, it would not even be necessary to test the distance alone, and it would directly cause a cross-fire or close loss!

That's for ordinary naval warships, not to mention that the enemy's attack methods have long exceeded the scope of classic naval tactics, vague distance and probability. Once fire is opened, someone will inevitably suffer!

As powerful as two South Dakota-class battleships, they did not dare to use their armor to test the strike capabilities of the opposite shells. They increased their horsepower without hesitation to maneuver! But compared with the terrifying flight speed of the shells, their maximum speed of only 27.5 knots is far from enough!

In order to ensure the first volley shot hit rate, the 18 main guns of the two Kunlun-class battleships all rushed towards the "Alabama"! The low-extended trajectory shot straight along the curve of the earth, facing the slender hull from the side, from launch to the arrival of the shell. In less than half a minute, it was not even enough for the warship to complete the first turn, and it crashed down!

"Bang! Boom!!"

The collision sound of more than one ton of steel armor-piercing bombs hit the hull was like a 10,000-ton forged hammer. The maximum 12-inch side main armor belt could not withstand it. It was torn apart and penetrated it. The subsequent explosions followed one after another. Large groups of fireworks were wrapped with thousands of tons of steel and wood human body fragments. They swarmed out, and the top horizontal deck was even more violently rushed up!

One blow, hit!

The "Alabama" is so unlucky. The first volley was shot by an armor-piercing bomb from the front. The explosion occurred from the root of the front bridge. Not to mention that fifty or sixty people were killed on the spot, even the base of the turret B was hit violently. The bomb lifting machine almost failed!

Next to the warship, the thick water column formed by the bomb explosion thrust violently on the deck. One of them was from more than ten meters away, rubbing the bow of the ship, and then hitting the side side after the ballistic changes. The water pressure shock generated by the explosion forced the solid steel welding structure in front to crack, almost tearing the armor box open!

The collision and explosion made the 145 officers and 2,000 sailors on the warship all frightened and secretly shouted that it was so fucking unlucky. How could they be the first to be attacked and hit directly?!

Unfortunately, they had no choice in the battle. If they encountered it, they could only say that their lives were bad. However, after all, they were controlling powerful battleships. As long as they were not sunk, they still had a chance to counterattack!

"Blast back! Fire immediately! Kill that damn Chinese guy!"

The captain's roar resounded through every combat post. The three triple-mounted 406mm turrets that had already made a warning attitude aimed at the fastest speed. Just a few seconds after the second shelling flash on the opposite side opened, it opened fire!

Less than twenty kilometers! Even though it is dark, since you have seen the general position of the other party, you will have a certain chance of hitting it!

Radar assist, etc., now American sailors dare not rely on it. God knows whether this thing is reliable! Or the giant cannon in his hand, which is more trustworthy!

The 420mm shells in the second round hit the speed much faster than the US military imagined! It was almost like a land-based cannon, adjusting the turret to shoot the elements, filling the warheads, launching medicine, and firing in one go, without any extra action, which made people frightened!

Still aiming at the "Alabama"!

Another hit, this time, it was rubbing the upper side of the side and cutting across into the steel building between the main bridge and the C turret. It was still like a destructive operation. This time the killing power was even greater. The entire sub-mast was blown away, and almost all the crew members in several nearby cabins were finished. The raging fire immediately ignited, and the illuminated hull was shaking, and it suddenly became a living target clearly visible to the naked eye!

"Damn it! Put out the fire quickly!"

The captain shouted with the loss tube. They knew very well what a torch about a hundred meters high meant in the dark night. It was a lighthouse that was worthless. Even if the other party had no radar, they could clearly aim!

The water column that was nearly missing bombs pounced on the deck and failed to extinguish the fire. More than two thousand officers and soldiers mobilized with all their strength. They all knew that if the situation was not changed as soon as possible, they might not have to feed the fish together without a few shellings!

The first round of counterattack shells fired were not even touched by the opponent's fur. Not to mention the deviation of up to two kilometers, it was spread over three kilometers from a distance, and there was a huge error in judgment!

At this time, another battleship, "Indiana", also completed its aim and fired a salvo. It also aimed at the Kunlun Mountains, but the shells fired were also unreliable and did not even get a little fur.

The ballistic trajectory and landing points of the two enemy ships were monitored and collected by the main control center of Kunlun Mountain. When they saw the results, Sa Shijun couldn't help but sneer: "The US Navy's naval artillery is indeed as bad as the Japanese! We did not deliberately hide our tracks and let them exert radar auxiliary performance, but they are still so bad. It's really a false reputation!"

The deputy captain, Zhang Tianhong, the former boss of the Zhongshan ship, smiled and said: "In the world, the exquisite artillery technique of naval battles. The first thing to do is Britain, which is due to hundreds of years of accumulation. Secondly, Japan is forced by hard work and poverty. The United States is rich and powerful, and has always liked to suppress people with great power, and excessively pursue the functions of technical equipment. It is inevitable that people's training will be lacking! After decades of peace, he rashly went to fight, and his performance is already good!"

"It seems that with our strength, it is probably a luxury to find an equal opponent!"

There was a regret and loneliness between Sa Shijun's words. This was probably a common problem in the traditional navy. What men who walked out of the cannon shooting most wanted was to fight powerful opponents at a distance visible to the naked eye, using roaring cannons and exploding steel to decide the outcome!

Now, they control a behemoth with a displacement of up to 60,000 tons. The best naval gun system in the world has greatly reduced human work because of the existence of the intelligent center, making combat easier. However, because of the existence of missiles, they directly draw combat to a long distance beyond their sight.

This alone is enough to cheat, and with electromagnetic defense and ballistic prediction, it is really like an adult bullying a three-year-old child. Even if he wins, he is not worth boasting.

Zhang Tianhong's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't say much. In fact, what he agreed with Zhu Bin's usual strategy, which was to crush all opponents with powerful and superior power. What kind of fair showdown and men's battles were just outdated and unnecessary romance and promiscuity. The purpose of the war was to kill the opponent and do everything he could. The process and method were not important at all!

However, Sa Shijun's sigh was something he could understand, because he had seen that even the destroyers that had only been used as escort minions in the past, but now because of Zhu Bin's unlimited strengthening, it has become a terrifying force that can be easily hunted by even tens of thousands of tons of battleships!

The other warships opened fire with the two ships of Kunlun Mountain!

Especially for the large number of island-class destroyers, the composite missile launchers directly mounted on the deck turned around and aimed at distant targets to open fire. The subsonic anti-ship missiles, like bombarded hornets' nests, dragged the dazzling jet light into the sky, and a large area rushed towards the US fleet array!

There were more than a dozen missiles at once! The distance was so close that even without the intelligent joint fire control command on the battleship, they could easily and accurately hit the target with their own fire control radar guidance alone, not to mention that a target was assigned to the double kill of at least two missiles to ensure that it was almost foolproof!

There are enough American warships. On the sea surface, the arc arrays of drawn arcs are connected at least fifty kilometers at the end. In comparison, the opposite squadron has only a sparse arc of more than twenty kilometers. It is a one-to-many way to fire!

Shortly after the Alabama was shot, the subsonic anti-ship missiles also rushed to their respective targets! After a sudden drop in the airspace of the medium-height, they flew at a speed of Mach 0.8 against the sea level, the starting hit rate was as high as 95%. It was difficult to hit at such a close distance!

A series of explosion flashes boiled between the US fleet. The destroyers and light cruisers seemed to be hit hard one after another. The hull was trembling all over, and then the 75 kilograms of terrible charges in the armor-breaking warhead were torn and exploded from the inside. In the rumbling loud bang, balls of flames rose into the air, and the battleships exploded in response, rolling smoke, paralyzed, or simply scrapped!

In a blink of an eye, the sea surface was still intact, and there was only the Indiana battleship and a heavy cruiser!

"This...this is simply terrible!"

On several main battleships that suddenly turned into lonely, the officers and sailors took their time to witness this scene. The scene of more than a dozen warships ignited them all!

When can the opponent's destroyer be so crazy and cruel! The face-to-face attack was a one-sided result. The guys on my side seemed to have no chance to fire the 127mm gun on the ship. That's it, it's over?!

As a result, there is no need to consider it! In reality, they cannot tolerate too much thought! The destroyers who had fought a round of missiles immediately encircled the two wings, turned from the original reverse bow curve into a circular array, and opened a siege against the 16th Special Mixed Fleet with the head and tail!

This is to go against the will of heaven! You are a group of small destroyers, who are here to surround the battleships of 30,000 tonnes. Are you wrong?

If the commanders on several main battleships could still make room, they would roar in anger and command the naval guns to smash the weak little guys one by one.

But the fact is that they really can't draw out even a trace of energy to piss off with those guys! Directly in front, two Kunlun Mountain-class battleships have just begun to warm up!

The Alabama struggled to launch the second round of shells, but this time it was finally a little better. Two shells formed a cross-fire, and the explosion water column was particularly distinct against the backdrop of the opponent's bombardment flash, which made the officers and soldiers on and off the ship unable to help but cheer!

But the smile had just bloomed, and then it condensed from each of their faces, and then it turned into fear and panic!

The 420mm shells that followed were thrust hard on the Alabama like a meteor. This time, two shots hit! One shot was blasted from the middle of the bridge, and the other shot was knocked off the turret. Even the thick cannon shield armor could not withstand the opponent's terrible penetration power. The whole group exploded, and the thousand-ton steel scale was blown away! (To be continued...)
