    "Go forward! Kill those yellow-skinned monkey heavy cruisers and let them know that we are awesome!" Rear Admiral Henry, the captain of the battlecruiser USS South Dakota and the commander of the US Navy's 1st Cruiser Squadron, ordered  road.  Whether it is a South Dakota-class battlecruiser or a North Carolina-class battlecruiser, the displacement is as high as 20,000 tons, and the main guns are all 5 mm naval guns. Compared with the Chinese Navy's Jianghe-class heavy cruisers, they can  Much more powerful!

    Three ¡®South Dakota class¡¯ battlecruisers were in front, three ¡®North Carolina class¡¯ battlecruisers were behind, and six battleships formed a battle line and rushed towards the six heavy cruisers of the Chinese Navy at high speed.

    At this time, the five light cruisers of the 4th Light Cruiser Group of the U.S. Navy and the ten destroyers of the qyg destroyer squadron of the British fleet, which had already arrived on the battlefield but had not dared to participate in the battle, all converged on these six battlecruisers.  .  With these six battlecruisers here, they don't have to worry about being overwhelmed by the six heavy cruisers of the Chinese Navy!

    When the six battlecruisers of the U.S. Navy appeared, the six heavy cruisers of the Chinese Navy had already received the news. They stopped their pursuit and sent a telegram to the forward formation, asking them to move closer to their side.

    "Sir, the Yankees have six battlecruisers! That's not something we can deal with!" On the heavy cruiser Liaohe, a staff officer asked the captain of this group of six heavy cruisers.  Colonel Zhang Yuan, the commander of the formation, said.

    "Send a telegram to the flagship to report that we have encountered six American battlecruisers and request support!" Colonel Zhang Yuan said from the six battlecruisers in the distance.  It was about to kill all ten light cruisers of the 4th Light Cruiser Division of the US Navy, but because of the appearance of the US Navy's battlecruisers, the attack had to be stopped, which made Colonel Zhang Yuan quite regretful.

    "Yes, sir! Do we want to retreat?" the staff officer asked.  So far, the Chinese Navy has killed five light cruisers and ten destroyers of the U.S. Navy. It can be said that they have achieved victory. Even if they retreat now, they will return victorious.

    "You send a telegram to the flagship first, and I'll think about it!" Colonel Zhang Yuan finished speaking, then picked up the telescope and observed the six battlecruisers of the US Navy.  At this time, the six heavy cruisers of the Chinese Navy had completed the turn and began sailing south, but the speed was not high.  The six battlecruisers of the U.S. Navy continued to pursue southward at a speed of 20 knots after converging with the five light cruisers of the 4th Light Cruiser Division and the ten destroyers of the QYG Destroyer Division.

    Through the telescope, you can clearly see the hill-like battlecruiser more than ten kilometers away.  A series of parameters emerged in Colonel Zhang Yuan's mind.  The U.S. Navy's South Dakota-class battlecruiser has a displacement of 22,000 tons, a maximum speed of 25 knots, and armaments of 4 twin 305 mm naval guns, 16 mm secondary guns, 3 47 mm rapid-fire guns and three  450mm torpedo tube.  The waterline armor is 152 mm, the deck armor is 64 mm, the turret armor is 178 mm, and the bridge conning tower armor is 254 mm.  'North Carolina-class battlecruiser has a displacement of 20,000 tons, a maximum speed of 25 knots, and armament of 4 twin 305mm naval guns, 16mm secondary guns, 7 47mm rapid-fire guns and five 450mm torpedoes  launch tube.  Waterline armor NE> mm¡¤Deck armor is 64 mm, turret armor is 178 mm, and conning tower armor is 254 mm.  Judging from the Chinese Navy's Jianghe-class heavy cruisers, it is very difficult to penetrate the turret armor and bridge armor of these six battlecruisers of the U.S. Navy.  But for the deck, waterline and superstructure of the battlecruiser, there is really no problem.  Even if you can't sink the opponent, you can at least injure the opponent.  Of course, the armor of the 'Jianghe-class' heavy cruiser is also the focus of protection. The turret and bridge armor are up to 5 mm thick, but the armor of some other secondary positions is very weak, and there is even no armor laid in many places.  If it is hit by a U.S. Navy battlecruiser, it will really result in death or serious injury!

    At this time, if Colonel Zhang Yuan issues an order to retreat, this will undoubtedly be the best choice for the Chinese Navy.  After all, although heavy cruisers are powerful, if they fight against battlecruisers, the possibility of failure is still very high.  After all, the caliber of the main gun on the heavy cruiser is too small to pose a fatal threat to the battlecruiser.  But if he had to give up right now, he would be a little unwilling to do so!

    "Are we sure of hitting the Yankee battlecruiser at a distance of 11,000 to 12,000 meters?" Colonel Zhang Yuan called in the gunnery commander of the heavy cruiser Liaohe and asked  .

    "Twelve thousand meters? Captain, the hit rate won't be very high." the gunnery commander replied.  Although the range of the 210mm main gun is as high as £ü8 kilometers, the effective range is only less than 5 kilometers.  And when shooting at a Bp target 5 kilometers away, the hit rate will be frighteningly low.  Even if it is shortened to 10,000?km, the hit rate is not high.  After all, ballistics will be affected by many factors. If a cannonball wants to hit a target 12,000 meters away, it depends on luck!

    "So, can the Yankee battlecruiser hit us at a distance of 12,000 meters?" Colonel Zhang Yuan continued to ask.

    "Captain, this is absolutely impossible! The Americans' training level is completely incomparable to ours. They want to hit us from a distance of 12,000 meters. God really showed up!" Although the U.S. Navy started from  The UK has acquired a lot of advanced technologies, but it still cannot compare with China in terms of sailor training.  In addition, after years of development, the performance of the fire control system used by the Chinese Navy has been greatly improved. The fire control system used by the U.S. Navy is still relatively crude, and lags far behind China in terms of accuracy of artillery strikes.

    "That's enough! Order all ships to prepare for battle! This time, let us see how powerful the Yankees' battleships are!" Colonel Zhang Yuan said.  Anyway, the Chinese Navy's Jianghe-class heavy cruisers have a maximum speed of 31 knots, while the U.S. battlecruisers have a maximum speed of only 25 knots. Even the U.S. Navy's light cruisers and destroyers have a maximum speed of just over 29 knots. If the battle situation is really unfavorable,  If so, they can retreat immediately to avoid further losses!

    "Captain, you mean we are going to fight an American battlecruiser?" the gunnery commander asked in surprise with his mouth open.

    "Of course, what? Don't you dare?" Colonel Zhang Yuan smiled.

    "Don't you dare? Why don't you dare? With the power of our 210mm naval gun, even if it cannot sink the American battlecruisers, it can still severely damage them!" the gunnery commander said immediately.

    Under the order of Colonel Zhang Yuan, the six heavy cruisers of the Chinese Navy began to turn, closing the distance with the six battlecruisers of the U.S. Navy.  At the same time, the three triple-mounted 210mm main guns on the battleship also began to move slowly, adjusting the direction of the bombardment.  This move by the Chinese Navy can greatly shock the U.S. Navy!

    "What do these yellow-skinned monkeys want to do? Do they think that with six heavy cruisers, they can compare with our battlecruisers?" Rear Admiral Henry asked in surprise on the battlecruiser USS South Dakota.  In fact, the tonnage of the Chinese Navy's heavy cruisers is only 8,000 tons lighter than the U.S. Navy's South Dakota-class battlecruisers, and only 6,000 tons lighter than the North Carolina-class battlecruisers.

    When it was confirmed that the six heavy cruisers of the Chinese Navy had really stopped escaping and were preparing to fight them, Rear Admiral Henry believed it.

    "Crazy! These yellow-skinned monkeys are crazy! But that's fine. Since you don't want to live anymore, then we will send you to hell!" Major General Henry said with a smile, looking like he was sure of victory.  , as if the six battlecruisers under his command will definitely be able to defeat the six heavy cruisers of the Chinese Navy!

    At 11 a.m., the distance between the two sides was close to 12,000 meters. At this time, Captain Zhang Yuan, the captain of the heavy cruiser Liaohe, gave the order to open fire.  At this distance, it is already the best attack distance while ensuring your own safety!

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" 'Liaohe, the three triple-mounted 210mm main guns on the heavy cruiser opened fire!  The target of the Liaohe is the battlecruiser South Dakota of the US Navy.

    Twenty seconds later, the qB¡¥ shell fell into the sea on the left side of the battlecruiser South Dakota. The nearest impact point was more than three hundred meters away from the battlecruiser South Dakota!

    Seeing this, Major General Henry laughed disdainfully.  Needless to say, it is difficult for the Chinese Navy's heavy cruiser to hit the U.S. Navy's battlecruiser at this distance. Even if it hits, the 210 mm caliber armor-piercing projectile will not pose a fatal threat to the U.S. Navy's battlecruiser. Once it does,  It would be tragic if a Chinese Navy heavy cruiser was hit by a 5mm shell from a U.S. Navy battlecruiser.

    After the heavy cruiser Liaohe opened fire, the heavy cruiser Hulanhe behind,

    The heavy cruiser Hunhe, the heavy cruiser Daling, the heavy cruiser Hailar, and the heavy cruiser Luanhe also responded in turn to the heavy cruiser Indiana, the battlecruiser Montana, and the  Battlecruisers USS North Carolina, battlecruiser USS Maine, and battlecruiser USS Washington opened fire.  However, the first round of salvos was also somewhat unsatisfactory, and the impact point was still far away from the target!
