Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Three battleships of the Chinese Navy started a fierce duel with the three battleships of the U.S. Fleet! Third Battleship Formation.  Both sides aimed as many cannonballs at each other as possible to sink the other side's battleship!

    At 7:49, the battleship 'Qin II' hit the battleship 'Ohio' of the US fleet.  A 5mm shell hit the rear deck of the battleship Ohio, blowing a large hole.  At the same time, the flying shrapnel killed almost all the American sailors on the deck!

    At 7:51, the "Texas" of the U.S. fleet also hit the "Kwangwu Emperor" battleship.  A shell hit the port side of the battleship Guangwu Emperor, blowing off a secondary gun and leaving a large hole in the port side.

    The battleship "Emperor Guangwu" did not show any weakness and took revenge a minute later. A 343mm shell fired blasted a big hole in the starboard side of the battleship "Texas".  However, it is a pity that the location of the explosion was above the waterline. If it could be moved down two meters, it would be enough for the "Texas" to walk around without food.

    At 7:53, the battleship 'Qin III' hit the battleship 'Montana' of the US fleet. The shell hit the bridge, tore the armor of the bridge, and exploded inside the bridge, including the captain.  Including more than a dozen officers, all killed.  Although the navigator of the battleship Montana immediately took over the command, after losing a large number of officers, the command of the battleship Montana was greatly affected!

    "All battleships, hit and attack the USS Montana!" Admiral Gao Yihai, commander of the Chinese Navy's Pacific Fleet, seized this opportunity and issued a new order.  The three battleships all aimed their guns at the battleship Montana.  For a time, the battleship 'Montana' was in danger. The huge battleship was like a small boat on the stormy sea, and it was possible to sink at any time!

    At 7:56, the battleship "Emperor Guangwu" hit the battleship "Montana".  A 343mm main gun hit the boiler room of the battleship Montana.  The boiler inside was blown up, and the high-temperature steam spread instantly to the entire cabin, killing dozens of U.S. naval officers and soldiers inside instantly.  At the same time, it also caused the battleship Montana's speed to drop sharply.  The three battleships of the Chinese fleet immediately seized this opportunity and attacked

    ¡®The battleship USS Montana launched a fatal attack!

    At 'Qin III' 7:58, the battleship 'Montana' was hit again. In this round of salvo, two 5mm armor-piercing projectiles hit the 'Montana'.  An armor-piercing shell hit the No. 5 turret on the rear deck of the Montana, knocking the turret off.  Another shell hit the stern of the battleship Montana, blasting a large hole near the underwater surface of the stern.  Cold water poured into the battleship Montana, causing the stern of the ship to slowly sink into the sea.  ¡®The damage control crews on the battleship Montana completely gave up on rescuing her. There was nothing they could do about such a severe injury.  As a last resort, the captain of the battleship Montana had to order the ship to be abandoned.  As more and more water poured in, the battleship USS Montana finally sank into the sea with its stern down and its bow up. Only more than half of the more than 700 U.S. naval officers and soldiers on board the battleship  Some people escaped smoothly, but the others sank into the cold seabed with the battleship!

    After sinking the battleship USS Montana, the three battleships of the Chinese fleet transferred their firepower to the battleship USS Ohio.  There is not much time left for the Chinese fleet. They must end the battle within five minutes, then accelerate to 20 knots and evacuate the battlefield.  Otherwise, the American fleet that is approaching from the other three directions will be enough to keep them all here!

    In the distance, the commander of the East Coast Fleet of the U.S. Navy, William.  Admiral Benson was even more furious when he saw the USS Montana being sunk. He ordered each battleship formation to speed up in order to intercept the Chinese fleet.

    At 8 o'clock in the morning, the USS Ohio battleship was severely damaged. A 5mm main gun shell fired from the Qin II battleship destroyed the main gun on the front deck of the Ohio battleship, leaving  The battleship Ohio lost forty percent of its firepower.  China, at this time the Chinese fleet has no time, the US fleet has already surrounded them.  Admiral Gao Yi had no choice but to issue an order to speed up the retreat with regret.  If they were given another ten minutes, they might be able to sink the USS Ohio battleship of the US fleet!

    "Commander sank two Yankee battleships and severely damaged one. For us who only have three battleships, it is already a great victory!" Lieutenant General Zhao Hongcai said excitedly.  He never expected that with the three battleships in hand, the Pacific Fleet could achieve such results!

    "Haha! Now,These Americans should know how powerful we are!  Order all ships to speed up their evacuation. We will not continue playing with the Americans!  General Gao Yihai said with a smile.

    "Boom!" At this moment, an orange-red fireball suddenly erupted from the battleship "Qin II."

    "Commander, the Qin II has been hit!" a staff officer reported.

    "What's going on? Let the Qin Er report the damage!" General Gao Yihai asked anxiously, and the smile on his face disappeared completely!

    A few minutes later, the battleship 'Qin II' sent back a telegram.  However, the content of the telegram made the faces of General Gao Yihai and Lieutenant General Zhao Hongcai look very ugly.  The shot fired by the American fleet hit the engine room of the 'Qin II'.  ¡®The Qin-class battleship has two steam turbines and uses two-axis propulsion.  A steam turbine was destroyed in the explosion, causing the 'Qin II' to lose half of its power.  The speed immediately began to drop from 20 knots.  With the U.S. fleet encircling them, losing speed would be tantamount to seeking death!

    ¡°Damn it, how could something like this happen!¡± General Gao Yihai cursed secretly.  They were about to evacuate, but something like this happened, which immediately made their previous results imperfect.

    Soon, the U.S. fleet will catch up. The battleship "Qin II" has slowed down at this time. The end can be imagined. It will definitely fall into the siege of the U.S. fleet!

    "Commander, what should we do now?" Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Zhao Hongcai asked.

    At this moment, the battleship ¡®Qin II¡¯ sent a second telegram!

    "Commander, the battleship Qin II asked us to evacuate, leave them alone!" Lieutenant General Zhao Hongcai said after reading the telegram!

    "Now, this is the only thing we can do! Send them a telegram and ask them to take care of themselves!" General Gao Yihai said helplessly.  When the enemy is strong and we are weak, the battleship 'Emperor Guangwu' and

    ¡®It is impossible for the battleship Qin III to stop.  Once we are surrounded by the US fleet, everyone will die here!  This made Admiral Gao Yihai have some doubts.

    Is it worth it to sink the battleship USS Montana, USS Montana, and severely damage the battleship USS Ohio, in exchange for sinking the battleship USS Ohio?  If he had known in advance that there would be such a result, he would definitely not take the risk!

    "Haha! Great! The 2nd Battleship Formation and the 4th Battleship Formation pursued the escaping Chinese battleship, and the 1st Battleship Formation sank the Chinese battleship that slowed down!" William.  Admiral Benson ordered excitedly.  Two battleships in the US fleet have been sunk, and another one has been severely damaged. If the Chinese fleet is allowed to escape unharmed, then he will have no way to explain.  Fortunately, God helped them at the most critical moment and saved a Chinese battleship!

    Soon, the three Nevada-class battleships of the 1st Battleship Group of the U.S. Fleet caught up with them

    "The battleship "Qin II," all the 343mm main guns on the battleship have been aimed at the battleship "Qin II,".

    "Send a telegram to those yellow-skinned monkeys and ask them to take pictures immediately. We can ensure their safety!" William.  Admiral Benson said.  Capturing a Chinese Navy battleship is more important than sinking a Chinese Navy battleship.  The Chinese Navy's advanced targeting equipment has always been coveted by the British and American navies.  In particular, the U.S. Navy, which has poor naval quality, is eager to obtain relevant technologies.  However, China has a very strict blockade on this, and the U.S. Navy has been trying for a long time to no avail. The only way is to capture the Chinese Navy's battleships on the battlefield!

    The flag bearer on the battleship Nevada used semaphores to contact the battleship Qin II, but what they received in reply was the fierce bombardment of the battleship Qin II.  In the eyes of the Chinese, it would be a shame to be defeated and captured.  Chinese soldiers are more willing to die on the battlefield!

    "These damn yellow-skinned monkeys, they have gathered our goodwill! Open fire and sink them!" William.  Admiral Benson ordered angrily.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The three Nevada-class battleships began a fierce bombardment, with a total of thirty 343mm main guns. Both the power and the number of main guns were far stronger than that of the Qin II.  Battleship.  Although the battleship "Qin II" put up fierce resistance and hit the flagship of the US fleet "Nevada," it could not escape the ending of sinking.

    At 8:30 in the morning, after being hit several times, the battleship 'Qin II' sank into the sea. None of the hundreds of officers and soldiers on the battleship survived!
