Therefore, at the moment, Zheng Dingbang used the rangefinder fire control system to command the Qiming and the Enlightenment to continue the shelling, covering the Qilong and the destroyer fleet to quietly approach the unbeatable Xiaoqiang Maine while the night was dark.
In the night, the Qiming and the Enlightenment desperately fired artillery bombardment, and the Maine weakened the artillery fire of the Huaxia Army, thinking that the Huaxia Army was running out of shells, and did not find the Qilong approaching quietly.
The Qilong quietly advanced to a distance of three thousand meters, and when the officers and men on the ship were about to launch the Broken God One, Hu Zhen suddenly asked to enter a distance of two thousand meters.
The communicator of the nuclear submarine sounded: "Master, at this distance, the tail flame of the fired shells will reveal the location of the Qilong!" ”
"Nima's, if you don't get so close, how can you improve the accuracy of artillery bombardment and the effect of armor piercing?" Hu Zhen has already made up his mind this time to kill the Maine at any cost.
2,500 meters away from the Maine, the four main guns that could still be used on the Qilong adjusted the angle and altitude according to the accurate data measured by the nuclear submarine using the advanced instruments, and fired a salvo together according to Hu Zhen's order.
After the booming cannon sounded, Hu Zhen immediately ordered: "Hurry up and leave here at the fastest speed, and at the same time, the rear main gun is loaded with the remaining two Broken God No. 1, and listen to my order to shoot!" ”
At a distance of two thousand meters, the firing effect was really good, three of the four shells were hit, and the hit rate was 75%.
At this time, the shelling of the Qiming and Enlightenment had stopped, and in the darkness, the explosion of the three shells on the Maine was clearly visible, but the destructive effect was not so obvious.
The Qilong did not dare to stop to carefully observe the effect of the destruction, but hurriedly accelerated away from this place.
Sure enough, the Maine observed the exact location of the Qilong from the tail flame of the Qilong's cannonball. Concentrated all the large and small cannons and bombarded the position of the sneak attacker, the Qilong.
Countless ballistics streaked across the sky. The position of the Qilong is illuminated transparently.
At this time. The main cannon of the Qilong also desperately launched the last two Broken God One.
“…… Hurry up and turn to run! ”
After launching the last two Broken God One, Hu Zhen didn't care whether he could hit it or not, he ordered to slip away quickly, he knew that in front of the powerful battleship, he had to flee quickly, otherwise he would be hit by its main gun, but no one could bless him from dying.
Fortunately, the main shells of the Maine did not hit the Qilong, but a dozen of the small-caliber secondary shells hit the Qilong. The booming boom and boom continued to explode on the ship.
Hu Zhen was in the command tower of the bridge, and he was so shaken by the shock wave of the cannonball explosion that he couldn't stand steadily, and he had to hold on to a pillar to stabilize his body.
After a while, the Qilong retreated to a distance of 5,000 meters from the Maine, and the shells on the Maine did not continue to fly, and a raging fire had already ignited on the Qilong at this time.
The damage management team rushed out to extinguish the fire on the deck, rushed to various key parts to inspect, and found that no key parts were hit or damaged, and the officers and men on the ship put down their hanging hearts.
It's just a few minutes. Many people were shocked into a cold sweat, and everyone knew it. The general commander, Hu Zhen, is on the ship, and if anything goes wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable.
At this time, the Maine diverted its artillery fire because the destroyer fleet of the Huaxia Army had also advanced to a distance of less than two thousand meters under the command of Geng Huoyan, and when it saw the Qilong launch a surprise attack, it hurriedly seized the opportunity and rushed to a distance of 1,500 meters, but was discovered by the observation post on the Maine.
Geng Huoyan had no choice but to order the three destroyers to fire a salvo of torpedoes at the USS Maine, and hastened to retreat regardless of the effect of the torpedo impact.
While retreating, the three destroyers also fired three torpedoes using torpedo tubes behind their buttocks.
After the nine torpedoes were fired, only a loud bang was heard from the stern of the USS Maine.
The anxious observers of the ships stared at the Maine, only to see that the Maine was still moving forward.
Everyone is confused: what is going on?
Hu Zhen also wanted to know what was going on, so he ordered the nuclear submarine to send a drone to fly close to the sky over the Maine, and found that the speed of the Maine was decreasing little by little.
It turned out that the Qilong had already hit three of the four rounds of the Breaking God No. 1 in the first round, which passed through the thick armor of the Maine and caused an explosion inside the Maine, and the Maine fell into chaos.
One of the two shots penetrated the Maine's command tower and killed the captain of the Maine and the fleet commander Rear Admiral Prunde and everyone in the command tower on the spot.
And nine torpedoes from the destroyer fleet, one hit the USS Maine.
But when the torpedo exploded, it only blew a large hole in the side of the Maine, but it failed to sink the Maine.
The sea water poured into the hole frantically, and the damage management personnel desperately rescued it, but the speed of the Maine was slowly reduced to thirteen knots.
Geng Huoyan sent a message to Hu Zhen asking for instructions: "Headquarters, please allow the destroyer fleet to charge again and use torpedoes to shoot at the Sinking Maine!" ”
Hu Zhen watched the video and analysis report of the USS Maine sent by the nuclear submarine, and replied to the message: "No, please wait and see!" ”
At this time, Hu Zhen wanted to capture the Maine and add a battleship to the Huaxia army.
Today, the Huaxia Army started in the afternoon and continued until late this night, spending so long, consuming two or three thousand shells, hitting two or three hundred shells, and hitting a torpedo, but none of them sank the Maine, which shows how heavy the armor and combat power of the battleship are!
If it weren't for Hu Zhen, the traverser, with the assistance of the precise measurement data of the nuclear submarine, and the advanced cruiser designed by later generations, the Huaxia Army would not have been able to defeat the Maine.
Hu Zhen understands that after the Battle of Hawaii, the Huaxia Army will inevitably shake the world, and he just wants to continue to shrink his head and implement the policy of Taoguang and Yanghui.
Therefore, Hu Zhen really hoped that the Huaxia Army would have more battleships.
The two battleships placed in the South American countries must be recalled as soon as possible and in the fastest possible time, if this Maine can be captured, the Huaxia Army will have three battleships, not to mention in the Far East, even in the entire Pacific region, in 1888, it is definitely one of the best.
Since the speed of the Maine was reduced, Hu Zhen asked all ships to send a light signal to the Maine using Morse code: surrender immediately, or the Maine will be sunk!
"Will the Maine, which is as hard as a stone in a pit, stinky and hard, surrender?" Many people questioned Hu Zhen's order.
But no one dared not carry out Hu Zhen's orders.
After several signals, Hu Zhen also ordered the cruiser's main guns to fire a round of shells at the sea in front of the Maine.
And the destroyer also rushed to demonstrate at a distance of more than four thousand meters in front of the Maine under the searchlight of the cruiser.
But no matter how the Huaxia army signaled surrender, the Maine remained silent at the beginning, and only maintained a continuous speed of 13 knots. (To be continued.) )
