The alarm bell sounded, and the captain of the Atlanta immediately ordered: "Immediately turn to evade!" ”

However, the Atlanta cruiser only escaped the attack of one torpedo during the sudden torpedo attack, and was hit by another torpedo in the bow and exploded, causing a large hole to pop into the water.

The damage management team on the Atlanta was dispatched urgently, quickly closing the watertight compartment near the hole, and pumping water to maintain the balance of the ship's hull, although the Atlanta's speed dropped to less than ten knots, but the situation was finally stabilized temporarily.

"Who attacked us?"

The sailors searched the dark sea with the lookout sentry, only to see a torpedo boat rushing not far away, and it seemed that a second round of torpedo attacks was about to be fired.

Atlanta's bright searchlight quickly hit the small torpedo boat, and a Star-Spangled Banner fluttered on it.

People exclaimed: "The rice people are sneaking up on us!" ”

The captain quickly gave the artilleryman an order: "Kill him!" ”

The dense artillery fire enveloped the onrushing torpedo boat in an instant, and it only took a minute or two to blow it to pieces.

But before the torpedo boat exploded and sank, a torpedo was fired.

The Atlanta, whose speed had dropped considerably, was unable to dodge, and the ship's amidship was hit and exploded.

Faced with the situation of being hit by another torpedo, the damage management team was unable to save it this time, and the captain had to order all the personnel to abandon the ship and escape.

By the time reinforcements arrived, the Atlanta had completely sunk into the water.

"This is a good thing done by the people of the United States!"

The reinforcement fleet salvaged a lot of items from the US Navy at the scene, and more importantly, the photographer on the Atlanta filmed the attack torpedo boat flying the Star-Spangled Banner when the searchlight was shining on the attack torpedo boat.

This was actually a surprise attack planned by the Wa State, because the deployment was very thorough, the means were extremely secretive, and the Huaxia Army only found clues that the Wa people did it from the evidence preserved for many years, but that was many years later, except for historians and novelists who had to earn money to support their families, no one cared about who the perpetrator was, or who the perpetrator was.

The Huaxia Army has been dealing with the United States for four years. The fact that he had recovered considerable vitality and possessed six battleships was still in his mind, and he had long wanted to find an excuse to take advantage of the fact that the United States Navy had not fully recovered to inflict another heavy damage on the United States Navy.

But the people of the United States are well aware of the truth of making a fortune in a muffled voice, even if the Huaxia Army sent the cruiser Atlanta to insult the people of the United States. The people of the United States were unmoved, and they have been immersed in the internal construction of the navy and army with a patient attitude, looking forward to the day when the strength is sufficient to ask the Huaxia Army to repay the blood debt, so no matter how the Huaxia Army provokes, they dare not offend the Huaxia Army. So that the militants of the Huaxia Army have not been able to find an excuse.

Today, when the torpedo boats of the Chinese Navy attacked the Atlanta of the Huaxia Army, many people in the Huaxia Army jumped up, shouting that this was a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" and suggesting to Hu Zhen that they should take immediate action to deal another heavy blow to the Chinese Navy.

Hitting the United States hard so that it can never rise is Hu Zhen's established strategy. Having encountered such a great opportunity, of course he would not let it go.

As a result, Hu Zhen gave an order, and the main fleet of the Huaxia Army immediately assembled on the west coast of the United States. aggressively demanded that the people of the United States hand over the real murderer to the Huaxia Army for trial and execution, and compensate the Huaxia Army for its losses.

At this time, there were not many battleships ordered by themselves, but by capturing the enemy's warships, there were now nine battleships in active service: the Dahua, the Great Xia, the Maine, the Pelayo, the Carlos V, the New York, the Brooklyn, the Chang'an, and the Changzhi.

The Huaxia fleet was caricatured by the Europeans as a "captive fleet", and Hu Zhen was also determined to change this situation, but the battleship was a huge big guy, and the 3D printing system on the nuclear submarine could only produce some smaller core components, and the hull could not be produced.

And the English were jealous of the strength of the Huaxia army fleet and only produced cruisers for the Huaxia army. Refusing to provide battleships, Hu Zhen had no choice but to order parts of four battleships from Germany and assemble them at the shipyard in Pontianak.

The battleships Chang'an and Changzhi were assembled from German parts and completed in January 1894. It has a displacement of 12,600 tons, two four 305 mm caliber 40 times diameter main guns, eight 155 mm secondary guns, and 12 75 mm secondary guns.

As for the other two ships, the Changshan and the Changhe, are still under construction.

This time, Hu Zhen still personally commanded the huge Huaxia Army fleet, went straight to the west coast of the United States, and asked the people of the United States to ask for their guilt.

The people of the United States were very panicked and hurriedly sent an envoy. To stop the fleet of the Huaxia Army, it is necessary to negotiate with the Huaxia Army to solve the problem.

At this time, everything is on the bow, how can Hu Zhen let the people of the United States negotiate peacefully? The Huaxia Army Fleet ignored the ships of the special envoy of the United States and rushed straight to the sea area where the United States fleet was located.

The U.S. Navy finally knew that the Huaxia people were determined to defeat their main fleet, and there were no longer any illusions, so the whole fleet came up and fought with the Huaxia fleet.

Not to mention that the Mi army only has six battleships, even if the number of Mi army battleships is the same as the number of battleships of the Huaxia army, it may not be able to resist Hu Zhen's salvo shelling with the support of the nuclear submarine observation system and supercomputer system.

In less than half a day's battle, six brand-new battleships, 12 cruisers, and five destroyers of the Mi Army were all sunk by the Huaxia Army.

At this time, the United States dispatched three or four hundred airships on land to help the war, and the airships of the Huaxia Army also took off from the airship mothership to help the war.

In terms of quantity, the number of airships that the Mi army took off on land was more than twice as many as that of the Huaxia army, but the result of the battle was greater than the surprise of the Mi people.

It turned out that the airship of the United States was big and stupid, and the speed of the flight was less than forty knots.

The Chinese Army's airships have already been divided into labor, with bulky airships with a large bomb capacity and a flight speed of 40 knots used as professional bombing airships, and those with small bombs and a flight speed of more than 70 knots as combat airships.

The Mi people once again lagged behind the Huaxia Army in terms of tactical concepts.

During the battle, the combat airships of the Huaxia Army used 12.7 mm heavy machine guns and 23 mm machine guns to burn the big and clumsy airships of the Chinese Army into aerial turkeys and fell down one after another.

The airship unit that the Mi Army had worked so hard to establish in imitation of the Huaxia Army did not play any role at all, and was defeated.

The airships of the Chinese army refused to let go, and pursued the airship base of the Mi army, dropping hundreds of tons of bombs, completely destroying several airship bases of the Mi army on the west coast.
