The intention of the Chinese Army was to annihilate the Huaxia Army Fleet and then send the land forces to carry out a landing operation, completely annihilate the Huaxia Army stationed in the Caribbean Sea and have lost the sea support channel, and seize the Guantanamo area of Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Panama Canal Zone.

Atlantic Fleet Commander John A. D. Lang, Deputy Commander Montgomery Sicarr, and the Admiralty staff drew up a plan of operations, specifically:

1. When the time is ripe, the method of sudden sneak attack is adopted to annihilate the main force of the Huaxia Army fleet in the port.

2. If the sneak attack fails, the battleships will have a five-to-three advantage, take advantage of the sunrise, and have the advantage of the sun on their backs, attack from east to west, and destroy the Huaxia fleet.

The Caribbean Sea is the backyard of the United States, and there are countless people in the United States who are distributed in various places, and it is easy for the United States to get some information through the United States, and it is not difficult to get the news that the main force of the Chinese Army Fleet is stationed near the port area of Colón, Panama.

As a result, the Atlantic Fleet of the United States poured towards Cologne and made an emergency voyage overnight, in an attempt to annihilate the main fleet of the Huaxia Army in one fell swoop.

As everyone knows, the Huaxia Army Fleet knew about the arrival of the Atlantic Fleet a few hours in advance, and was ready to meet all the preparations for battle, preparing to put the Atlantic Fleet to death.

On September 26, 1889, on the second day of September in the 15th year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, on Friday, the war started in the Caribbean, known as the Huami War in history, and later also known as the Black Friday War.

At 6:02 a.m., the Mi fleet appeared outside the port area of Cologne, only to find that the Huaxia fleet had already left the port and was waiting for their arrival in a strict formation.

For a large fleet to set up such a formation on the sea, it will take at least half an hour to prepare, which surprises the officers and men of the Mi army: "The warships of the yellow race have already left the port!" ”

"Strange, how did they know we were coming?"

"These yellows know witchcraft and foresaw our arrival in advance?"

The psychological shadow of the defeat of the Chinese army fleet in Hawaii and all kinds of magical legends about the Chinese army fleet expanded rapidly at this time. It has become an inexplicable fear in the hearts of the soldiers of the Mi Army.

While the soldiers were talking, Vice Admiral John Telang, commander of the Atlantic Fleet on the battleship Oregon, frowned and ordered without hesitation: "The enemy has discovered our sneak attack and immediately switched to the second combat plan!" ”

The heralds immediately used the flag language to dominate the other ships. When Rear Admiral Montgomery Seacarr, deputy commander of the Atlantic Fleet aboard the USS California, saw the flag, he immediately sent a banner in agreement: "Follow the orders of Your Excellency the Commander!" ”

The Mi warships that received the order immediately turned their bows together in accordance with the battle plan drawn up before the battle, and rushed towards the Huaxia fleet.

The Mi fleet was used with all the warships side by side. Form a line of horizontal formations to charge.

Obviously, the people of the United States have learned the lessons of the Battle of Hawaii and the defeat of the Spanish Luzon fleet, and they want to use such a method to break the range advantage of the Huaxia Army.

All the warships started together, although they could not use all the guns to fire a salvo to the side side, and they could only use the bow guns against the enemy, but they could not use the Huaxia army to attack their own warships one by one. According to the relative speed of the two sides exceeding 800 meters per minute, at most in four minutes, the two sides can advance to a distance of about 3,000 meters, and once they rush into a distance of 3,000 meters, with the advantage of the Mi battleships to one, even if the number of remnant warships and the Huaxia army is equal, it is not known who will die in the artillery battle of the two sides.

"Mi Guoyan is very smart, he wants to use such a tactic to deal with us! It's a pity that they used it in the wrong place, with the wrong object! Hu Zhen saw it clearly on the bridge. Calmly issued an order to all the officers and men participating in the battle through the voice radio: "According to our plan, we must destroy this Mi army fleet today!" ”

According to Hu Zhen's character, if he is not prepared, how dare he run thousands of miles to the backyard of the United States in the Caribbean?

When the distance between the two sides is seven thousand meters. All the warships of the Huaxia Army turned sharply to the right in unison, and the guns on the gun mounts began to shake their muzzles and point at the Mi fleet.

"All cruisers follow the Great Hua, the Great Xia, the Maine, the Wind, the Cloud, the Thunder, and the Lightning to strike at the enemy's flagship Oregon!"

Hu Zhen still used the method of concentrating on attacking the enemy's flagship to fight this battle.

"Distance XXXX, angle XXXX, one test shot!"

The warships of the two sides advanced opposite each other, quickly closing the distance to 5,800 meters, and Hu Zhen ordered the flagship Dahua to urgently open fire for test firing.

Bang. A cannonball crossed a distance of 5,800 meters and swept over the Oregon, with the lookout on the mast. Wygan hit the square, and the 210 mm caliber shell did not explode, but it turned the Ott. Waigan was shattered to pieces, becoming a piece of minced flesh and blood splattering on the deck.

The shell fell into the sea more than 100 meters away and exploded, raising a 20-meter-high column of water.

And Otte. When the red bones and flesh of Huaigen were sprinkled on the deck, many of the soldiers of the Mi Army who witnessed his tragic situation were frightened.

The battle of the Caribbean began with such a terrible scene!

At the same time that this shell fell into the water and exploded, Hu Zhen loudly ordered to the infinite sound radio station according to the data of the nuclear submarine tracking and control: "The distance is adjusted forward by XX meters, the angle is adjusted downward by XX degrees, and the main guns of all battleships are salvo the enemy's flagship Oregon!" ”

At the moment of the order, each ship immediately calculated the firing elements of the guns according to the distance between themselves and the flagship, and issued them to the artillery on the turret.

After the gunners who had already stuffed the shells into the chambers of the guns got the data, they quickly shook the direction machine and the high and low machine to the designated position according to their job responsibilities, and reported to the control tower:

"Shell reloaded!"

"The gun emplacement angle is adjusted in place!"

"The muzzle height is adjusted in place!"

The gun commander in the turret pressed a button, and the gun commander in the command tower lit up one by one in front of the gun commander who showed that the guns had been prepared.

"Fire!" The captain gave the order, and the gun commander decisively pressed the button in front of him.

The boom, boom of the turret exploded almost simultaneously, the long barrel of the cannon jerked back, and the swarms of shells flew out of the chamber of the cannon in a state invisible to the naked eye, and pounced on the target with a dull whistle.

All this seems to be a long description, and the reader thinks it is a long time to see it, but it is too late and that it is fast, and the whole process is only twenty or thirty seconds, and a swarm of shells will hit the target designated by Hu Zhen. (To be continued.) )
