In just ten seconds, the nuclear submarine sent information about the Mi Army's battlefleet to Hu Zhen's visual glasses.

The specific information that Hu Zhen saw in his hand was:

Maine, displacement 7294 tons, speed 17.45 knots, main armament: 4 254 mm guns, 6 152 mm secondary guns, 12 mm 105 secondary guns, 16 75 mm secondary guns, 120 size: 98.6.9m, mechanical: twin propellers, triple expansion engines.

Cruiser Pittsburgh, displacement 3,730 tons, speed 18.9 knots, main armament: 2 203 mm guns, 6 152 mm guns, launched in February 1888, dimensions: ×6 m, mechanical: twin propellers, horizontal composite engine.

The communication ship Dolphin has a speed of 23 knots, a displacement of 1500 tons, and is equipped with four 75-mm self-defense guns.

(Author's note: In the original history, the battleship Maine was launched in November 1889, and was planned by the Mi people themselves to bomb and sink in the Spanish colony in 1898, but with the time and space of Hu Zhen's appearance, it is impossible for the Mi and the Spaniards to compete for the colony, and it is impossible for the Mi people to make excuses for blowing up and sinking the Maine by themselves, so the author opened a golden finger to let the battleship Maine be born more than a year earlier and send it to the protagonist to play.) ）

"If it's just the Maine, Pittsburgh, and Dolphin, they can't help us!" Hu Zhen took out the specific information and browsed it, and didn't feel that after his side had annihilated the Vitesse fleet, there was anything to fear.

Zheng Dingbang didn't know where the information in Hu Zhen's hand came from, but he had no doubt about the accuracy of Hu Zhen's intelligence, and said: "However, it is difficult for us to annihilate this Maine, after all, the Maine is a battleship, and our armor-piercing shells may not be able to penetrate its armor, but its main gun caliber is 254 mm, if our four cruisers are fired by one shot." Ironclad is sinking to the bottom of the sea! ”

"At this point, whether we can sink the Maine or not, there is no way back, no matter how difficult and troublesome it is. We must also rush head-on! Hu Zhen knew that there was no choice at this moment, only to make all preparations before the arrival of the enemy ship, so he ordered:

"Hurry up and gather all the surrendered Mi warships and drag them to the Honolulu dock. Escort the prisoners off the ship, replenish the fuel and ammunition of our four cruisers, repair the damaged positions as soon as possible, and rest of the combatants to rest for two hours......"

Three hours later, the USS Maine, USS Pittsburgh, and USS Dolphin appeared in the sight of Hawaiian ports.

The commander of this Mi warship formation was Rear Admiral Plande, the captain of the USS Maine, and he also thought that he would have a few glasses of local sugar cane wine with his old colleague Vice Admiral Witters when he arrived in Hawaii.

But after arriving in the waters of Hawaii, the Mi army found countless ship debris and garbage floating on the turbid sea, and the mutilated corpses of the Mi army.

Rear Admiral Plande, like all the officers and men, was taken aback, he did not know what was going on, but out of the sensitivity of an old navyman, he immediately and decisively gave the order to all the officers and men: "Prepare for battle!" ”

At this time, the sun is already setting in the west. As soon as Hu Zhen saw the three Mi warships appear in Hawaiian waters, he personally commanded four cruisers and three destroyers to rush towards the Mi fleet with their backs to the sun.

"Humph! Even the four remaining cruisers dare to fight my Maine? "When Rear Admiral Plande saw the number of fleets of the Huaxia Army, he was very unimpressed.

Plande believed that with the strength of the fleet commanded by Vice Admiral Vites, it must be fought against at least ten or more Huaxia warships, and the Mi fleet would sink at least half of the Huaxia cruisers before the entire army would be destroyed, and he judged that the Huaxia army at this time must be exhausted, and he could easily win before dark.

What Plande didn't know was that the Huaxia fleet had achieved a great defeat at the Vitesse fleet without losing a single ship.

What happened next was completely unexpected.

When the four cruisers of the Huaxia Army were at a distance of five thousand meters. Suddenly turned to the left, grabbed the T-head at a high speed of 21.5 knots, and began to test fire a shell.

Like Lieutenant General Vites, Major General Plande did not believe that he had been killed. The inferior colored people in the Far East in front of them could fire and accurately bombard their battleships with 155 mm guns at a distance of five thousand meters.

The cannon continued to make Plande stunned, and it landed only fifty meters in front of the Maine.

After a pause of only a dozen seconds, a swarm of shells from the Chinese army rained down on the Maine.

And at this time, the Mi army went from a general to a gunner. They weren't ready to shoot at the Huaxia warships.

Unlike most of the world's ironclad ships at this time, the main guns of the four new cruisers of the Huaxia Army were designed by Hu Zhen using a nuclear submarine supercomputer and manufactured by the British shipyard.

At the same time as loading, the gunner was on the side synchronously adjusting the direction and angle of the gun body and the muzzle height according to the instruction data transmitted from the command tower.

When the main gun is ready, the gun commander presses a button on the gun position, and the bridge commander tower immediately lights up a green light, indicating that the main gun is ready and ready to fire!

When the green light of all the main guns is on, the captain of the ship's guns will press the button of the salvo according to the command of the captain or higher, and all the main guns will fire at the same target at the same time.

Several main guns fired a salvo at the same target, forming a scattering area, which greatly increased the probability of the shell hitting the target.

The four cruisers of the Huaxia Army are all cutting-edge warships that have only been built for less than a year, and the theoretical rate of fire of the main guns can reach five rounds per minute, but after deducting factors such as wartime interference and the need for measurement data for unified salvo fire, they can also achieve three to four rounds per minute.

However, in just a few minutes, the four cruisers of the Huaxia Army fired thirteen salves at the battleship Maine five thousand meters away, and the eighteen main guns fired 234 155 mm caliber shells like a rainstorm.

The high rate of fire of the main guns of the four cruisers of the Huaxia Army stunned all the officers and men of the USS Maine, USS Pittsburgh, and USS Dolphin, and the hit rate surprised them even more, with 234 shells hitting at least more than 25 battleships of the USS Maine!

In this era, the hit rate of naval ships on dynamic targets of more than 2,000 meters was generally only about 5 percent, or even lower than 2 to 3 percent, but the four cruisers of the Huaxia Army actually hit more than 10 percent of their main gun salvos at a distance of 5,000 meters, which is many times more powerful than the world's strongest British Navy!
