Commander of the US Navy's Asian Detachment, George? Dewey, dumbfounded, looked at the large armored cruiser Ruckerin, which sank into the sea in a very short time, and shook his head painfully, he had long heard that there were some mysterious submarines under Lin Daxin's command, whose performance far exceeded those small submarines in various countries now, and the Italian commander Roberte also specially told himself about the power of these submarines on Taragan Island, and he finally saw it with his own eyes this time, but the cost was relatively large, and the sinking of the Ruckerin let the US Navy see the power of Lin Daxin's submarine. 《.

George? Dewey saw that many US Navy officers and men who had jumped into the sea were sucked into the bottom of the sea by the whirlpool created by the sinking of the Ruckerin, and closed his eyes in pain, feeling that this decision by the United States to meddle in the affairs of the Philippines might bring a disaster to the US Navy.

Even if the victory is won in the end, the warships and American lads of the US Asian Squadron do not know how much will be left.

George? When the fleets of the two countries had just converged, Dewey first saw the Queen Margaret-class 8 all-steel battleships of the Italian Navy. Dewey was very envious of such a powerful battleship, the level of shipbuilding in Italy was definitely not inferior to the British, such a powerful battleship was built, but now such a powerful battleship has not yet been engaged, 2 have been seriously injured, and the speed is about the same as the Indiana-class all-steel battleships of the US Navy.

Soon the two fleets will start an artillery battle, George? Dewey thought to himself. The Italian Navy's such a powerful and advanced battleship was attacked by a submarine, and it was understandable that his own Ruckerin was sunk, so he cheered up and said to Commodore Henritel, the captain of the Indiana on the bridge: "Cheer up the American boys." Avenge the Ruchlin! In addition, let the ships pay attention to the torpedo attack of enemy submarines, and let the protective cruisers Olympia and Baltimore cruise around the main fleet in search of enemy submarines! ”

The commander of the Italian fleet, Roberte, was on the island of Dallagan when he sued George? Dewey, Lin Daxin's fleet has an advanced submarine, and countries have been trying to understand this kind of submarine, but Lin Daxin is very strict about submarines. Now the countries have not seen the true appearance of Lin Daxin's submarine.

And Roberte also gave the American fleet some depth charges, which were all George? Dewey was assigned to 2 protective cruisers.

Henrytt nodded and said, "Yes, Commander." I will inform the Olympia and the Baltimore immediately. ”

Then Henrytel hesitated and asked, "Commander, are you on the Illinois-class battleships, they are fast, and it seems that the enemy already knows our plan for a sneak attack." They are well prepared now. If the war is unfavorable. I'll lead the other warships to cover the commander's retreat! ”

George? Dewey shook his head and said, "Thank you, Brigadier General Henrytel. I have led you on an expedition to Asia, how can I abandon you and flee alone? What's more, it's still unknown who wins and loses! ”

After Lin Daxin saw the results of the two submarines through the guò high-powered telescope on the bridge of the Shenyang, he put down the telescope and happily said to Sun Xitao and Ma Yan, the captain of the Shenyang: "The submarine detachment has made a good start for us, a good sign!" How far is it from the American fleet and the Italian fleet now? ”

Ma Yan, who is also from the first phase of the teaching team, said: "Principal, I am about to enter 10,000 meters. ”

Lin Daxin nodded and said: "Order to enter within 8,000 meters, and the main guns of each ship will fire at the enemy ship!" ”

Lin Daxin transported a batch of artillery mirrors from modern time and space. Placed on the main and secondary guns of warships, these guns are much more accurate than those used in various countries today. This also greatly improved the artillery accuracy of the Northeast Navy, making the battleship main guns of the Northeast Navy already very threatening at a distance of 8,000 meters.

When the distance between the two fleets was 8,000 meters, because both sides were grabbing the T-shape, it became that the two fleets were moving in the shape of an "eight", although no one grabbed the most advantageous T-shape, but both fleets could give full play to their sidestring firepower, and the main guns with the longest range on the 33 warships of the three fleets of the Northeast Navy fired first.

The 10 all-steel battleships of the First Fleet of the Northeast Navy faced exactly 10 all-steel battleships of the Italian Navy.

The Third Fleet of the Northeast Navy faced the wounded 2 all-steel battleships Alfonso and Dante and 6 large fast armored cruisers of the Italian Navy.

The 14 ironclad battleships of the Second Fleet of the Northeast Navy deliberately lagged behind the Third Fleet, facing the eight all-steel battleships of the US Navy and the large armored cruiser USS New York.

Lin Daxin is also going to use these ironclad battleships that have been renovated to first clean up these warships of the US Navy that are slightly inferior in performance, and then concentrate on dealing with these Italian warships with excellent performance.

The four protective cruisers of the Italian Navy and the two protective cruisers of the US Navy did not join the battle line because they wanted to guard against a sneak attack by submarines, but kept cruising around the main warships of their respective countries, dropping a depth charge on the bottom of the sea every once in a while.

"Boom-boom-boom-" The main artillery shells of the Northeast Navy first fell around the warships of the Italian Navy and the warships of the US Navy, but unfortunately not a single main gun shell hit the enemy ship in the first round of shooting, but some of the shells fell less than 100 meters away from the US and Italian warships. After the main guns of the warship of the Northeast Navy opened fire for the first time, Lin Daxin glanced down at the watch he was wearing on his wrist, and the time on the watch was 7 o'clock in the morning.

Immediately the Italian Navy fleet and the US Navy fleet were under the command of 2 commanders, Roberte and Georges? Under Dewey's order, the artillery returned fire, and the shells from the first round of the main guns of the US-Italian combined fleet did not hit the warships of the Northeast Navy, and the shells fired by the warships of the US Navy fell at least 800 meters away from the nearest warship of the Northeast Navy.

This is because although the American all-steel battleships used 330 mm guns, these guns were only 35 times the caliber. Compared with the 40 times caliber main guns of the Northeast Navy and the Italian Navy, the firing range is much closer, at a distance of 8000 meters. There is no accuracy at all, and the best attack distance of this 35-caliber gun must be within 5,000 meters.

When the second round of main gun shells of the Northeast Navy fell, a shell fired from the 305 mm main gun of the all-steel battleship Changchun hit the Italian Navy's all-steel battleship Sergio, and just hit the turret of a twin 40 times caliber 203 mm secondary gun, and the 152 mm armor of the Sergio's secondary gun turret could not withstand the 305 mm shells at all. After a loud bang, the Sergio's secondary turret was completely destroyed, and the bones of the 26 Italian naval gunners in the turret were gone. Only a piece of flesh remained in the ruins of the turret.

The explosion also affected one of Sergio's 40-caliber 152-mm naval guns and one 76-mm rapid-fire gun, destroying two gun emplacements and killing the Italian naval gunners on the emplacements.

The all-steel battleship Changchun opened the record for the Northeast Navy in an artillery battle between the two sides, and the captain of the Changchun shouted to his subordinates on the bridge with great joy: "Good! Well played! Just hit it like that! If only the brothers could sink 1 enemy battleship today. I'll ask all the ship's brothers. Go to the most famous Dalian Fishing Port Hotel in Dalian City to rub it off! ”

A major in charge of receiving and receiving radio from 7 or 8 stations on the bridge of the Changchun said with a smile: "Boss, what if we sink 2 battleships? ”

Wen Yu said proudly: "Then invite the brothers to go to Dalian Fishing Port Hotel twice!" ”

The major jokingly said, "Boss, what if the brothers sank 10 battleships?" ”

Wen Yu said: "Then I asked our principal to invite the brothers to go to the Dalian Fishing Port Hotel 10 times, I can't afford to invite you to go 10 times!" But you sank 10 battleships, the brothers on the other warships should have an opinion, and we have to leave a mouthful of soup for the brothers of the other warships to drink! Hahaha! ”

There was laughter and laughter in the bridge of the Changchun, and Wen Yu pressed down with his hand, making the bridge quiet. Then Wen Yu ordered: "Tell the brothers of the gun position, just follow the enemy ship that you just hit." Strive to sink it first! ”

The Changchun's luck was good, in the third round of firing, the 2 double-mounted 40 times the caliber of the Changchun's 2 cannons fired a shell, and another shot hit the deck of the Sergio, the 305 mm shell penetrated the 76 mm deck armor, exploded inside the Sergio, and the 3 boilers were affected and paralyzed, and there was no way to power the Sergio, so that the speed of the Sergio, which was moving at high speed, dropped by 3 knots, and the maximum speed could only reach 15.5 knots. The slower-moving Sergio will be more vulnerable to shelling by warships of the Northeast Navy.

The six Frederick III class ships purchased from Germany by the First Fleet, that is, the German-class all-steel battleships, have a caliber of only 240 mm of main guns, but the most advanced German artillery technology is adopted, so that the range of these 240 mm guns is even farther than the 40 times caliber 305 mm naval guns developed by the Shenyang Arsenal, and they are equipped with advanced gun scopes brought by Lin Daxin from modern time and space, so that their hit rate at 8000 meters is very good.

In the third round of shelling, the German all-steel battleship Jad, a 240-mm shell hit 152 mm of the waterline armor of the Italian Navy Khima. The shell penetrated the waterline armor and exploded inside the Kahima, causing a fire, but fortunately, the location of the explosion was not important, and the captain of the Kahima immediately calmly organized the damage management personnel on the warship to put out the fire, while continuing to command the Kahima's naval guns and continued to fire at Lin Daxin's fleet.

Opposite the battleline of the Second Fleet is the battleline of the US Navy, and the modified ironclad battleships are not weaker than the all-steel battleships in terms of speed and firepower, and the US Navy is equivalent to facing 14 all-steel battleships, and the range of the main guns on the US ** ships is not enough.

The Second Fleet achieved results in the third round of main gun fire, when the Flying Tiger ironclad battleship hit the turret of a double 35 x caliber 330 mm gun of the USS Massachusetts with a single 305 mm shell from the USS Massachusetts, although the main gun turret armor of the USS Massachusetts reached 381 mm, but this old armor did not block the 305 mm armor-piercing shells produced by the Shenyang Arsenal.

After a violent explosion, the main gun turret of the Massachusetts was completely destroyed, and nearly 30 US Navy gunners in the main gun turret were all killed. Even a 330-mm gun barrel was blown up into the sky, and after falling, it smashed the barrel of a twin 35-caliber 203-mm secondary gun, which not only reduced the firepower of the main gun of the Massachusetts by half, but also lost a third of the secondary gun before it could be fired.

The USS Oregon was also hit by a 305-mm shell, and one of the warship's secondary guns was destroyed.

After the third round of shelling by the Northeast Navy, the third round of shelling by the warships of the Italian Navy finally achieved results, a 305 mm main gun shell of the all-steel battleship Dejo hit the waterline armor of the all-steel battleship Xiande of the First Fleet of the Northeast Navy, and the waterline armor hit was 300 mm thick, because it was the most advanced alloy armor in Germany, so the 305 mm shell did not penetrate the armor, but only blew up a large piece of the waterline armor here.

Huang Hong, who was in the second phase of the captain's training team of the Xiande, saw that the enemy's shells hit his warship, and he immediately felt a correction in his heart, the position of the shells was very close to a main gun ammunition warehouse, if the shells penetrated the waterline armor and exploded inside the Xiande, it was easy to detonate hundreds of 240 mm main gun shells in the ammunition magazine, and the consequences were unimaginable, and cold sweat suddenly flowed down Huang Hong's sideburns.

However, Huang Hong immediately breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the German warship was relatively strong, and the shells of the enemy ship did not penetrate the waterline armor, and only blew out a big deflated.

While breathing a sigh of relief, Huang Hong roared angrily: "Aim at Lao Tzu and hit the Italian battleship directly opposite!" Grandma's, scared me to death! If it weren't for the rough skin and thick flesh of our all-steel battleship made in Germany, Lao Tzu would have been blown up to the sky! What should I do with my newly married daughter-in-law? Brothers, sink it, Lao Tzu please drink! ”

This Italian battleship happened to be the all-steel battleship Dejo, which had just hit the Cinder. (To be continued......)
