"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The battleship 'East Sea' of the Imperial Navy once again fired a salvo. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info 9 460 mm shells whistling towards the flagship of the US army 'Montana' battleship. However, this time all nine shells did not fall into the sea, but one shell hit, which was also the first time that the battleship "Donghai" hit the battleship "Montana".

A 460-mm shell slammed into the amidships of the battleship Montana, blasting a large hole in its superstructure and igniting a fire. It caused a lot of casualties on the battleship "Montana" of the US army. However, it did not have much impact on its combat power. Of course, even this made Major General Robert about to be blown up.

"Damn, how can this be? Damn the Chinese, are their old warships, which have been in service for more than ten years, also stronger than our cutting-edge warships? How is this possible? "Major General Robert was completely unwilling to believe the facts in front of him. It's just that many times it's not that he doesn't want to believe it, the truth doesn't exist. Major General Robert was only able to put pressure on the gunners, as well as those gunners.

"For the sake of the American Republic, we must hit the Chinese battleships and sink them!" Major General Robert said with a gloomy face.

"Yes, General, we'll do our best." The gunslinger replied sweating profusely.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The four triple 406mm guns of the battleship 'Montana' began to roar again. The effort paid off, and in this salvo, a 406-mm shell hit the foredeck of the battleship 'Donghai'. Although, the thickness of the deck armor of the battleship 'Tokai' reached two hundred millimeters, which was enough to withstand ordinary aerial bombs. However, in the face of armor-piercing shells weighing more than a ton, this layer of armor was still like paper paste and was easily torn apart. After the shell exploded, a large hole was blown out in the foredeck of the battleship 'Tokai', and shrapnel flew sideways, killing some sailors. At the same time, a fire was caused inside the battleship.

The damage management personnel immediately put on gas masks and dragged the water hose to extinguish the fire. Because the fire ignited after the explosion of the cannonball carried poisonous gases, once inhaled into the human body, it is very likely to be poisoned. Even if you wear a gas mask, you may not be able to resist it. But even so, those damage management personnel rushed to the fire without hesitation. They all knew that if the fire could not be controlled, it would cause more trauma to the battleship. Therefore, even if they fought for their lives, they had to put out the fire.

"Well done, boys, keep up the good work, sink the Chinese battleships, kill them well!" Major General Robert shouted.

It's just that this hit didn't cause much damage to the battleship 'Donghai' at all. Even, it did not affect the combat effectiveness of the battleship 'Donghai' at all. After the fire was extinguished, the three triple 460-mm main guns of the battleship 'Donghai' began to roar again, smashing the heavy cannons one after another into the US Navy's battleship 'Montana'.

The armor of the battleships on both sides is very thick, so that it is very difficult for the main guns of the battleships on both sides to inflict heavy damage on the opponent's battleships, let alone sink the opponent's battleships.

This naval battle, at first it was thrilling, but in fact it was boring. In fact, the battleships of both sides, after putting on thick armor, desperately threw cannonballs at each other's battleships in an attempt to sink the opponent's battleships. It's just that this is very difficult, although everyone is working hard and has already made a hit, it is undoubtedly very difficult to really damage or even sink the opponent's battleship.

At 10:04 a.m., the battleship "Maine" of the US Navy hit the battleship "Yellow Sea" of the Imperial Navy. A shell hit the commander of the battleship 'Yellow Sea'. It's just that the 406-mm armor-piercing projectile still can't penetrate the armor of the conning tower, which is more than 500 mm thick.

"Damn!" Seeing such a situation, Major General Robert couldn't help but scold. He also became more and more aware that the battleships of the Chinese Navy were no worse than the battleships of the US Navy. It is not easy, it can even be said that it is quite difficult to sink the battleships of the Chinese Navy with their battleships. Once those aircraft carriers of the Chinese Navy are freed up, will they still have a good life?

"Damn, is it possible that this time, we will lose again?" Major General Robert thought with some pain. The U.S. Navy has experienced many defeats in the confrontation with the Chinese Navy, and the losses have been extremely heavy. What's even more serious is that it has caused a psychological shadow in the hearts of the generals of the US Navy. This will undoubtedly be very unfavorable for the next war between the two countries.

Five minutes later, the Imperial Navy's battleship 'Fuxi' hit the battleship 'Louisiana'. A 410 mm shell blew a large hole in the stern deck of the battleship 'Louisiana'.

However, two minutes later, the battleship 'Louisiana' was still in color. A 406-mm shell blew a large hole in the side of the battleship 'Fuxi', blowing up two anti-aircraft guns, and at the same time causing a bunch of anti-aircraft shells to explode, igniting a large fire.

The confrontation between the battleship 'Fuxi' and the 'Louisiana' will undoubtedly suffer a little. After all, the USS Louisiana was capable of competing with the Imperial Navy's 'East Sea-class' battleships. The original opponent of the battleship "Fuxi" should have been the Americans' "Iowa-class" battleship. It's just that the number of 'East China Sea-class' battleships in the Imperial Navy is one less than the number of 'Montana-class' battleships in the US Navy, so the 'Fuxi' battleship has to go up.

"Boom!" A shell hit the USS Illinois battleship, but it still failed to inflict heavy damage.

The performance of the battleships of China and the United States can be said to be on par, and in this naval battle, it was also like this. As a result, both sides have been unable to make breakthroughs, although they have continued to make hits.

The battleships of both China and the United States were expecting to make a breakthrough, and the distance between the two sides was reduced from 20 kilometers to 15 kilometers. For a main gun with a caliber of more than 400 mm, this distance is equivalent to firing directly against the head of the counter. The continuous improvement of the hit rate of the shells also made this naval battle more tragic.

The first battleship to be heavily damaged was indeed the Imperial Navy's battleship 'Fuxi', and two of the twelve shells fired by the battleship 'Louisiana' in a salvo hit the battleship 'Fuxi'. One hit the power compartment of the battleship Fuxi, damaging the steam turbine and slowing the ship down. Another shell hit the waterline armor of the battleship 'Fuxi'. Although, the waterline armor of the battleship 'Fuxi' was up to 406 mm thick. But because of the angle, the waterline armor was torn open and a large hole was blown out. From this large hole, the sea water poured into the battleship in a frenzy.

"Damn, find a way to plug the loopholes. Report to the commander about our situation. "The commander of the battleship 'Fuxi', who is also the commander of the 2nd battleship detachment, ordered.

The damage management personnel began to plug the leak, but because the leak was too big, they couldn't plug it at all, so they had to choose to close the watertight door to isolate the watertight cabin. In addition, because of the damage to the power compartment, the speed of the battleship continued to decrease, and it was obvious that it was no longer able to continue the battle. They couldn't even keep up with the speed of the battle line, so naturally they couldn't continue to fight.

In the end, Admiral Chen Houfu approved the withdrawal of the battleship 'Fuxi' from the battle.

Although, the lack of a battleship will put the Imperial Navy at a disadvantage in battleship confrontation. However, by this time the carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Navy had already begun to land. After these carrier-based planes have landed, they will return to the hangar below, and the carrier-based planes that have already been prepared in the hangar will rise to the deck and begin to take off for combat.

Therefore, as long as the battleship detachment of the Imperial Navy held out for a while longer, the tide of the battle would be reversed.

"Hooray! Well done, we have already severely damaged one of the Chinese battleship, now it is 7 to 6, the victory is ours! Major General Robert cheered happily. It seemed to him that the battleship detachments of the US Navy had already gained the upper hand there, and they would soon be able to achieve victory, which made Rear Admiral Robert feel good.

"Order the battleship 'Louisiana', together with the battleship 'New Hampshire', to attack the Chinese' battleship 'Whale Sea', let this battleship sink me and further expand my advantage." Major General Robert commanded in high spirits.

Severely damaging one of the 'Three Emperor-class' battleships of the Chinese Navy did not satisfy him. He hoped to sink a 'Tokai-class' battleship to further expand his advantage so that they could quickly win the naval battle.

It's just that two minutes later, the expression on Major General Robert's face was as ugly as if he had eaten a fly.

The battleship "Whale Sea" of the Imperial Navy preemptively damaged the battleship "New Hampshire" of the US Navy. A 460 mm shell tore through its waterline armor and caused a large amount of seawater to pour into the battleship, causing the ship to notice a slight tilt and affect its speed.

After the battleships of the Chinese Navy were heavily damaged, they could still retreat unharmed. But will the Americans, having suffered heavy losses, be able to retreat? (To be continued.) )
