Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the waters 250 kilometers southeast of Carter Island, the main force of the Chinese Navy's expeditionary fleet is sailing north. However, the speed of the fleet is very slow, only 8 knots.  Marshal Li Dingxin, commander of the Chinese Navy's Home Fleet, does not seem worried about the fierce fighting going on in the north.  Previously, the forward formation of the Chinese Navy's expeditionary fleet had annihilated the U.S. Navy's Byg destroyer formation, and the heavy cruiser formation that arrived later also severely damaged the U.S. Navy's 4th light cruiser formation, causing this formation to lose half of its warships.  Although, for the US-British combined fleet with more than 200 battleships, the loss of 5 light cruisers and 10 destroyers is not a big deal at all.  However, this is indeed a good start for the Chinese Navy's expedition fleet to the Atlantic Ocean, which boosts the morale of all naval officers and soldiers!

    "Commander, that guy Zhang Yuan sent a telegram. The American battlecruiser formation is here, a total of 6 battlecruisers!" Lieutenant General Hai Zhengsheng, chief of staff of the fleet, reported to Marshal Li Dingxin.

    "Six battlecruisers? Where are the American battleships? Have you found any?" Marshal Li Dingxin asked.  Although 6 battlecruisers are already a very powerful force, they are still not enough for the US-British combined fleet with 46 battleships.  The main target of the Chinese Navy this time is the main fleet of the US Navy. For this reason, the strike formation composed of four 'Emeishan-class aircraft carriers has remained silent.

    "No American battleship has been found yet! However, it is estimated to be in the north of the battlefield. Commander, how about we ask the aircraft carrier to send aircraft for reconnaissance?" Lieutenant General Hai Zhengsheng asked.  As long as the main fleet of the U.S. Navy is within a radius of two hundred kilometers of the aircraft carrier formation, it cannot escape the reconnaissance of aircraft taking off from the aircraft carrier.  As long as the traces of the main fleet of the US-British Combined Fleet are confirmed, and if it is within the strike range of the aircraft carrier-based aircraft, the aircraft carrier can take off carrier-based aircraft to attack the US-British Combined Fleet.

    In this case, the mission of the Chinese Navy Expeditionary Fleet can be completed this time.  As long as the main force of the US-British combined fleet can be eliminated, the Chinese navy will definitely win this battle!

    "No, let's wait and see! If we send out planes for reconnaissance and the Americans discover the signs and escape, it will be very difficult for us to find such a good opportunity again!" Marshal Li Dingxin shook his head.  This time, the U.S-British combined fleet took the initiative to go south to the waters near the Bahamas to engage in a decisive battle with the Chinese navy. This undoubtedly gave the Chinese navy a good opportunity to annihilate the main force of the U.S-British combined fleet.  If the aircraft carrier formation is exposed in advance and the US-British combined fleet escapes and returns to the protection of the US Army Air Force, everything will be over!

    "Okay, Commander, let's wait! Wait until the main force of the US-British combined fleet appears before dispatching carrier-based aircraft!" Lieutenant General Hai Zhengsheng said!  Anyway, this time the US-British combined fleet has become a turtle in the urn, don't even think about running away.  As long as their target is exposed, they will be dead!

    "However, we can force their main force out! How far are the Han Xin-class fast battleships from the battlefield?" Marshal Li Dingxin asked.

    ¡°Commander, the ¡®Han Xin-class¡¯ fast battleship formation is only about thirty kilometers away from the battlefield. If we rush to the battlefield, it will only take an hour at most!¡± Lieutenant General Haizhengsheng replied.  Although the battleships of the Chinese Navy Expeditionary Fleet did not divide all the battleships into several squadrons like the US-British Combined Fleet, the battleships were still divided into three independent formations according to their levels in order to fully utilize their respective combat capabilities.  Play it out.

    "Well, let's let the 'Hanxin-class' fast battleship formation rush to the battlefield as quickly as possible and kill the six American battlecruisers! I don't believe that the Americans can still sit still! As long as they rush to the battlefield  If they fight us desperately, it will be their death! Let the aircraft carrier formation be ready for battle. As soon as the order is issued, it can immediately enter the battle!" Marshal Li Dingxin ordered.  To put it simply, this is a trap set for the US-British combined fleet, and the baits are six 'Hanxin-class, fast battleships!

    "Yes, Commander! With the strength of six Hanxin-class fast battleships, we will definitely be able to kill the six battlecruisers of the Yankees. By then, the Yankees will definitely go crazy and fight for us!" Hai Zhengsheng said.  Will said with a laugh.

    At this moment, a communications officer handed a telegram into the hands of Lieutenant General Hai Zhengsheng!

    "Is this stupid Zhang Yuan crazy?" Lieutenant General Haizhengsheng immediately cursed after reading the telegram!

    "What's wrong? What happened?" Marshal Li Dingxin asked with a frown.

    "Commander, that guy Zhang Yuan led six heavy cruisers and started fighting with the six American battlecruisers! Does that guy really think that heavy cruisers can defeat battlecruisers?" Lieutenant General Hai Zhengsheng was a little angry.  He said: If Colonel Zhang Yuan were in front of him, he might even shoot him.?Colonel Zhang Yuan¡¯s heart is ready!  !

    "Tranquility! Every battleship in the navy is precious! Order him to leave the battlefield immediately. In addition, let the 'Han Xin-class, fast battleship formation rush to the battlefield as quickly as possible!" Marshal Li Dingxin said with a dark face.

    "However, Commander, I think we can let that kid Zhang Yuan hold the Americans back so that they don't escape! That kid Zhang Yuan's plan is to engage the six American battleships at a distance of about 12,000 meters.  If the cruiser exchanges fire like this, the American's hit rate is not high and the possibility of hitting our battleship is also very low! It is better to delay the time so that the 'Han Xin class' fast battleship can arrive as soon as possible!" Lieutenant General Hae Zhengsheng said!

    "Okay, but let him save the battleship as much as possible!" Marshal Li Dingxin thought for a while and agreed to Lieutenant General Hai Zhengsheng's suggestion!

    At this moment, on the battlefield, six heavy cruisers of the Chinese Navy are fighting with six battlecruisers of the 2nd Battlecruiser Division of the U.S. Navy.  At a distance of 12,000 meters, try to land the cannonball on top of the opponent's head as much as possible.

    "Boom!" A 210mm shell hit the USS Maine battlecruiser.  The USS Maine is the second North Carolina-class battlecruiser of the United States Navy. The name is to commemorate a battleship that was sunk in the first Sino-US Pacific War.  The USS Maine battlecruiser has a displacement of 20,000 tons, four twin-mounted 5mm main guns, and a top speed of 25 knots. It can be called a world-class battleship, but its armor is slightly weak.

    This shell hit the side of the battlecruiser USS Maine, blowing away a 100mm secondary battery and killing several gunners.  However, such damage would not constitute fatal damage to the huge battlecruiser Maine.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The four twin-mounted 305mm main guns on the battlecruiser Maine struck back at the heavy cruiser Hylar River that hit him.  However, none of the eight shells weighing more than 300 kilograms were able to hit the target. The nearest impact point was 500 meters away. This made the captain of the battlecruiser Maine look gloomy as if he could  It's like dripping water!

    "Captain, we are too far away from the target! At a distance of 12,000 meters, we can't hit each other at all. Opening fire at this distance is a complete waste of shells!" Battlecruiser Maine  The gunnery commander said with some frustration!

    "But why can the Chinese hit us repeatedly?" the captain asked with a dark face.

    "Boom!" There was another loud noise, and everyone in the bridge seemed to have been hit, and they fell to the ground in embarrassment.  A 210mm armor-piercing projectile accurately hit the bridge of the battlecruiser USS Maine, but it was unable to tear through the thick armor outside the bridge.  However, the impact of the shell explosion still injured the officers on the bridge.

    "You bastard! Fight back! Fight back! You must hit those yellow-skinned monkeys!" The captain of the battlecruiser Maine roared in anger!

    Not only the battlecruiser USS Maine, but also other battleships of the 2nd Battlecruiser Division of the U.S. Navy. At a distance of 12,000 meters, their cannons could not hit the Chinese navy at all.  Heavy cruiser, but it was frequently hit by heavy cruisers of the Chinese Navy.  Although the 210mm shells of the Chinese Navy's heavy cruisers were unable to cause fatal damage to these battlecruisers, the superstructures of many battleships were hit, and large holes were blown out on the decks. The loss of personnel was even greater.  Difficult to accept!

    "Asshole! Find a way to close the distance, we can't go on like this!" Major General Henry roared crazily.  Faced with this rogue style of play by the Chinese Navy's heavy cruisers, Major General Henry felt very aggrieved.  This is like the U.S. Navy's 2nd Battlecruiser Division, which originally had very strong combat capabilities, but it was not fully utilized.

    "General, the Chinese deliberately control the distance to about 12,000 meters, and their speed is faster than us. We can't close the distance!" A staff officer replied very helplessly!

    ¡°Let that fellow Lance¡¯s light cruiser and the British attack, then stop the Chinese!¡± Major General Henry ordered with a dark face.  After the cruiser detachment arrived, the remaining five light cruisers of the 4th light cruiser detachment of the US Navy and the qyg destroyer detachment of the British fleet took the initiative to move closer to the 2nd battlecruiser detachment, seeking protection!

    "Yes, General!" The staff officer nodded.

    If light cruisers and destroyers intercept the Chinese Navy's heavy cruiser formation, and then the battlecruiser detachment takes the opportunity to close the distance between the two sides, then the Chinese will be dead!
