The detonation of the ammunition in the ammunition depot caused a violent explosion, and the Arkansas was blown to pieces in an instant, and some fragments even flew to the cruiser of the Huaxia Army several kilometers away.

After the Arkansas was blown up, the Keming, Kaixing, and Enlightenment poured their artillery fire on the Arkansas' martyr, the Manassas.

In a short time, the Manassas was enveloped in bullet fire.

The Dahlgren, Cushing, Seattle, and Manassas desperately used their main guns to counterattack, but the helpless target was still outside their effective firing range, and the rate of fire was extremely slow, although there were many artillery pieces of the Mi Army, the most accurate shells also fell a few hundred meters away from the Qiming, Qixing, and Qiqi, and the threat to the Huaxia Army was almost zero.

The Manassas looked very tough, and Zheng Dingbang commanded three cruisers to rain shells on it with twelve main guns, which lasted for more than ten minutes, but the Manassas just stood up and did not sink.

Seeing that the three cruisers had sailed out of the range of the main guns, Zheng Dingbang ordered: "Divert the artillery fire and concentrate the fire on the Dahlgren." ”

The stiff Manassas was relieved to see that the fire had shifted, and ordered the damage management team to come onto the deck to urgently extinguish the fire and repair the damaged equipment.

At this time, a 280 mm caliber shell that was about to be transported out of the aisle of the ammunition compartment of the Manassas suddenly exploded violently due to excessive heating, and the explosion directly penetrated the ammunition depot, triggering the detonation of the entire ammunition depot.

The detonation of the ammunition depot lifted the entire Manassas several meters above sea and plunged into the water.

The Mi Army's cruiser Manassas was suddenly sunk into the sea.

After the sinking of the Manassas, the Dahlgren was bombarded with all the firepower of the Qiming, Qixing, and Enlightenment, and although the Cushing and Seattle were not attacked, the enemy could hit their own warships from a limited range of their own, but their own weapons could not hit the enemy, and the officers and men of the two cruisers knew that if this continued, it would be a matter of time before they sank.

Finally, a few sailors could not hold back their souls and rushed to the captain's command position with pistols. Offer to surrender to the enemy on the opposite side.

"Ahh Surrender! If you all have to surrender, then surrender and forget it! "The captain of the Cushing did not want to fight for a long time, and when he saw someone with a pistol pointed at him, he offered to surrender. He simply got off the donkey and ordered to hang out a white flag and surrender.

The so-called freedom is what the United States says the most, although there are a lot of deceptive elements, but it is said too much, and some people really believe it. Those who want to surrender really believe that freedom is more important than anything else, and a mere surrender is nothing to the people of the United States.

When the Seattle saw that the Cushing had flown a white flag and surrendered, it was not to be outdone by hoisting a white flag to indicate surrender.

"This Mi army has surrendered?" Zheng Dingbang was taken aback, he didn't expect that the two Mi warships that were not attacked would surrender first, he quickly calmed down and ordered: "Let the Dahlgren also surrender quickly, otherwise it will be sunk immediately!" ”

In fact, the Dahlgren also wanted to surrender, but there was only one white flag on the ship, but it was burned by the artillery fire just now.

But as long as you want to surrender. There was still a way, and the officers and men of the Mi on the Dahlgren had no choice but to take off a few white shirts, connect them together, raise them, and send out the signal of surrender.

"We don't have time to surrender now, hurry up and support the Qilong that Mr. is up there!" Zheng Dingbang was worried about Hu Zhen's safety, and ordered the transport ships in the Hawaii port to transport the marines out to accept the surrender, so he commanded three cruisers to rush to support the Qilong!

In fact, Zheng Dingbang and a group of naval officers and men were worried about Hu Zhen and the Qilong unnecessary.

After paralyzing the Baltimore and Charleston, the Chicago, Boston, and Atlanta flagships with a speed of only 16.3 knots were faced by the Mi Army. With a speed of 21.5 knots and an effective range more than double that of the Mi army, there is no great danger, and if it is not possible to hit the Mi ship outside the effective range, it is a big deal to run a little farther at the superior speed. The 16.3-knot, maximum speed of the Mi ship is simply helpless against the Qilong.

Moreover, at this time, the three destroyers of the Huaxia Army also rushed to help in the battle, although the caliber of the guns was smaller, and it was difficult to help much, but the deadly torpedoes on the destroyers could contain part of the artillery fire of the Mi Army from time to time, relieving a lot of pressure on the Qilong.

What's even more powerful is that Hu Zhen received the measurement data transmitted by the nuclear submarine on the Qilong. Shelling the Mi ship, it was very accurate.

Hu Zhen commanded the Qilong to concentrate its main firepower on the Chicago, the flagship of the Chinese army, at a distance of 5,000 meters, and bombarded it fiercely, but fortunately, the Chicago with a displacement of 4,942 tons had thick skin and rough flesh, and although it had already suffered several armor-piercing shells, it still did not cause much problems.

"Looks like we're going to use a special trick this time!"

Hu Zhen was determined to sink the flagship of the Mi Army and lay the foundation for victory, so he ordered the use of the latest God-Breaking No. 1 armor-piercing projectile.

This armor-piercing projectile is made by the 3D printing manufacturing system on the nuclear submarine in imitation of the tank armor-piercing projectile of later generations, using a metal beam stream to cut the metal to penetrate the thick armor of the enemy ship, with this shell, the armor-piercing ability is increased by at least 50%. But Hu Zhen didn't want to wear too much of the 3D printing system, and there were only eighteen shells on the Qilong.

This time, the main guns of the salvo were all replaced with the Broken God One.

The result of the salvo was two of the six shells.

But it was these two shells that dealt the Chicago a fatal blow.

One of the shells pierced through the port side and penetrated the central part of the Chicago, exploding in the middle of the boiler, spilling the fire into the surrounding pipe compartments.

Another shell pierced the Chicago's conning tower, exploding inside the conning tower, blowing the entire conning tower to the ground.

Vice Admiral Vites, commander of the Mi fleet in the Command Tower, and his staff team, the captain of the USS Chicago, all exploded with this shell, and turned into a ball of blood and water.

"Report! The six main guns have all been reloaded, will the salvo continue to fire the Chicago? The gunners on the Qilong reported to Hu Zhen.

"Wait, let's observe the results of the last round of shelling!" Hu Zhen did not give an order, but used a telescope to continue to observe the explosion of the Chicago, he had seen the Chicago was shot, but he didn't know what the effect of this round of salvo was, this Broken God No. 1 is difficult to manufacture with today's technology, and it all depends on the 3D printing manufacturing system of the nuclear submarine, and he is a little reluctant to use it.
