Colonel Hilson was outraged by China's outrageous attitude. But anger is anger, and when he thinks of relying on the only three old artillery destroyers of his fleet during World War II and the destroyer PK of the Chinese Navy equipped with anti-ship missiles, he feels weak, feels a chill down his spine, and his confidence in speaking is not hard. He didn't want to die, so he said in a loud voice, "No, no, no." I think we should be calmer and talk to our own bosses about any of the things we do. We have no right to make such a hasty decision on this important matter that has a bearing on the direction of bilateral relations.

Zhang Tiezhu raised his left wrist, looked at his watch and said, "Okay, then I'll give you another 30 minutes and ask your boss to ask your boss." ”

"No, no, no, Brigadier General Zhang, it is impossible for any decision-making body to make such an important decision in such a short period of time. It should take at least 8 hours. Colonel Hilson tried to buy himself a little more time.

"No! Say 30 minutes is 30 minutes, you fuck, where did you get so much nonsense! Whether or not you can make a decision is your own business, and we should hang it. Colonel Andrei, who was sitting on the side, stood up and said loudly in Chinese, "The option given to you now is either to accept our inspection, or you go back and prepare to fight us, I have no interest in listening to your here." ”

After Andre finished speaking, he strode out of the restaurant, and while walking, he thought very proudly in his heart, it feels good to be Chinese, eat well, and dress well. If you want to scold the United States, you should scold the United States. If you want to fight the old beauty, you can fight the old beauty! These "cowboys" in the United States can only listen. It's so fucking cool.

The US Navy has the most powerful naval fleet in the world, and it has always been rampant on five continents and four oceans, flaunting its might to other countries for its own national interests, so as to achieve the goal of surrendering the army without a fight. Even though Captain Vasily did not translate Colonel Andrei's swear to Colonel Hilson, Colonel Hilson still felt that this Russian had humiliated himself and his country. He was furious and furious. He was determined to defend the dignity of himself and his country at the cost of his own life.

He stood up and shouted angrily with his blood surname and responsibility as a soldier should have: "Okay! You self-righteous [***] people. Then let's decide all this with artillery. Colonel Hilson's "heroism" of knowing that he could not do anything won Zhang Tiezhu's respect.

Zhang Tiezhu gave a military salute to Colonel Hilson and said, "Your determination and courage are very admirable, I hope you can hold on a little longer." ”

Colonel Hilson left angrily, returned to his ship, sounded the battle alarm, and ordered the 4 ships of the 43rd Destroyer Squadron of the 12th Destroyer Detachment of the 7th Fleet of the US Navy to lift anchor immediately, to be honest, 40 minutes is really too short, even the anchor time is very tight, let alone prepare for a decisive battle with the Chinese fleet. But war is not decided unilaterally by either side. China has always paid attention to surprise and unpreparedness, and this time it is already very "gentlemanly" to give 40 minutes of preparation time.

Subsequently, Colonel Hilson promptly reported everything and his decision to the command of the U.S. Seventh Fleet, requesting reinforcements from the U.S. Navy and Air Force stationed in Bon and South Korea. The U.S. Seventh Fleet Command replied: "It is unwise to engage in a military conflict with China in this situation, and it should be avoided as much as possible, and the supplies on the supply ship are important and should not fall into the hands of the Chinese." We think you can evacuate to Tanbara Port on Tsushima Island in the nearest place and wait for a diplomatic settlement by political axes. Of course, you also have the right to decide whatever way you see fit to solve the problems you are facing. Such a vaguely worded reply that is always correct. This is unfair to a grassroots commander. It looks like the bureaucrats of which country are the same.

Colonel Hilson had no choice but to consult with the other captains of his fleet. The other captains couldn't come up with any good solutions. In view of the urgency of time and the fact that there was no time for further discussion, Colonel Hilson finally decided: to prepare for battle, to break out of the encirclement, to retreat to the port of Tanbara on Tsushima Island, and to resolutely counterattack if it was intercepted by the Chinese fleet.

Even though everyone knows that it is very difficult to withdraw to the port of Tanbara on the nearby island of Tsushima in the midst of the encirclement and interception of the powerful Chinese fleet. But there's no better way to do it right now. Now that the fleet commander has decided, at this time, in the face of a strong enemy, he has to work together to complete this retreat as much as possible.

Colonel Hilson ordered the three destroyers to form a "pin" formation centered on the supply ship and retreat to Tanbara Port on Tsushima Island.

After Colonel Andrei "hanged" Colonel Hilson, commander of the 12th Destroyer Squadron of the 43rd Destroyer Detachment of the 7th Fleet of the US Navy, he happily returned to his command room from the cafeteria and issued an order to the fleet to carry out the No. 1 combat plan. Surround and destroy these 3 destroyers of the 7th Fleet of the US Navy, capture this supply ship, and see what is being transported.

After Colonel Andrei led the Red Navy patrol fleet of the Far East Fleet into the Tsushima Strait, the "Shenyang" guided missile destroyer, the flagship of the Chinese Navy's North Sea Fleet, also led two "Great Wall" class missile destroyers, two "Dreadnought" class missile frigates, and two minelayers into the Tsushima Strait from the southern tip of the Tsushima Strait in the Yellow Sea.

Two other "Great Wall" class missile destroyers, one "Dreadnought" class missile frigate, and one "Dolphin" class conventional submarine of the North Sea Fleet blocked the waters between Tsushima Island and Iki Island at the southwestern tip of the Yue Islands.

So far, China's North Sea Fleet and the Far East Fleet, two people's navy fleets, have echoed in the north and south, and have tightly blocked this narrow Tsushima Strait.

The 12th Destroyer Squadron of the 43rd Destroyer Detachment of the 7th Fleet of the US Navy led by Colonel Hilson began to move in, and their three destroyers surrounded the supply ships in between, forming a "Pin" formation of one or three rows, slowly moving from north to south, because the 12th Destroyer Squadron led by Colonel Hilson was intercepted by the Chinese fleet at a distance of 12 nautical miles west of Tsushima Island, if you want to think of Tanbara Port on Falklands, you must go south to bypass half of Tsushima Island in order to reach Tanbara Port at the southern tip of the east side of Tsushima Island.

The Chinese fleet was quite credible, and since it did not reach the allotted 40 minutes, it did not move, but only accompanied it in a half-moon formation about 20 kilometers to the right side of the US fleet.

Naval battle formations are best used by columns. Because the column can not only make the first gun and the layer gun obtain a certain angle of side fire, but also give full play to the effective firing area of 90 degrees of gunside gunfire; followed by echelon formations, with a broadside gun firing range of seventy-five degrees; The most disadvantageous was the horizontal line facing the enemy in the bow, and the gunsoft firing range could only gain 25 degrees. Therefore, in a naval battle, the superiority or disadvantage of the formation in terms of tactical position should be most advantageous to the side facing the bow of the enemy's ship.

In today's naval warfare, due to the development of communications equipment and a high degree of informationization of modern warships, command and dispatch are very convenient, especially for warships that are already equipped with missiles capable of long-range strikes, and the requirements for formation in naval warfare are not so important.

However, compared with the current two formations of China and the United States, the formation of the Chinese fleet still has a slight advantage. Because the ship on the crescent moon in front of it can make a 90-degree left turn at any time and aim its port side at the bow of the American fleet. It's just that there is no need for the Chinese fleet to do this.

Time was moving by second, and the hearts of all the officers and men of the 12th Destroyer Squadron of the 43rd Destroyer Detachment of the 7th Fleet of the US Navy were about to jump out as time passed. If you don't play like this, let you die, and tell you the exact time of death first. Isn't this torture, it's really unkind to be a human being.

The "Dreadnought" class frigate numbered HQ201H at the southern end of the half-moon type first received an attack order from Colonel Andrei, and the four C-802 anti-ship missile launch boxes equipped between the main mast and the chimney of the HQ201H frigate spewed out a ball of orange-yellow flames, and a C-802 anti-ship missile went through the climbing stage, once lowered, and after two lowerings, it flew at an ultra-low altitude of 1.5 times the speed of sound at an altitude of more than 20 meters above sea level to the American destroyer Hicocks, which was more than 25 kilometers high.

More than 30 meters away from the destroyer USS Hicocks, which was at the lower "mouth" on the left side of the US fleet's "Pin" formation, the C-802 anti-ship missile suddenly climbed to 30 meters, and then hit the middle part of the American Fletcher-class destroyer and the bridge part. The destroyer, which was more than 100 meters long, was suddenly torn in half. The bow and stern of the ship are upturned against each other to form a huge V-shape. The sea water forms a huge turbulent vortex in the middle. Five minutes later, the 2,000-ton destroyer Hickox reluctantly sank in the blue sea of the Tsushima Strait.

The more than 100 officers and men of the Hicocks were relieved, and they no longer had to endure the unbearable taste of waiting for death.

Amid the explosion of the hit Hicox, Colonel Hilson gave the 12th Destroyer Squadron an order to counterattack the Chinese naval fleet with all its might. For a time, the two remaining destroyers, the USS Richard P. Leary and the USS Elborne, with all their artillery fire, were fiercely bombarded in the direction of the Tsushima Strait Patrol Fleet of the Second Red Navy Detachment of the Chinese Far East Fleet.

This is not so much a counterattack as a vent, a self-comfort, and a self-emboldening. The maximum firing range of the 127-mm high-level dual-purpose guns on the American Fletcher-class destroyers is only about 15.5 kilometers. It is impossible for them to hit the nearest Chinese naval fleet, which is also 17 or 8 kilometers away. But they really need this vent in their hearts.

Captain Andrei was very incomprehensible, he could not understand the meaningless behavior of the Americans, and he looked with his binoculars at the rows of displacement columns that had been blown up in front of his own warship. I thought to myself that these Americans are so fucking wasteful, and if they want to eat fish, they can't blow up fish with shells of four or five hundred dollars each, how expensive it is. The Supreme Leader taught us that "corruption and waste are a great crime". No, Americans must stop wasting taxpayers' money. He gave an order to the destroyers HQ501 and HQ502 to stop this wasteful behavior of the Americans.

HQ501 note, target No. 2 - destroyer USS Richard P. Leary, one shot of C-802 missile, launched!

HQ502 note, target No. 3 - destroyer Elborn, one shot of C-802 missile, launch!

After André gave the order, he picked up the binoculars again, and he liked the thrilling scene when his missile hit the opposing warship and exploded. There are not many opportunities like this, since the completion of the modification of his own destroyer, he has only launched twice, and he has hit both target ships. Today, the warships under their own command have used this powerful ship-to-ship missile for the first time in real combat. He couldn't help but feel a little excited

With a "boom", the milky white missile flew out, and the surrounding area of the launch box was shrouded in white smoke like a thick fog

"Hit!" He couldn't help but shout loudly.

The C-802 missile hit the destroyer USS Richard P. Leary, the flagship of the 12th Destroyer Squadron of the 43rd Destroyer Detachment of the 7th Fleet of the US Navy, on the right side of the supply ship, at the upper "mouth" of the US Navy's "Pin" formation, and the missile penetrated the 65 mm thick steel armor reinforced by steel reinforcement on the outside of the tail of the destroyer USS P. Leary at an angle of 45 degrees.

The destroyer USS Richard P. Leary swooped forward, lifting the entire aft upper deck and blowing up the hull above the waterline. The front half of the destroyer USS Richard P. Leary had completed its final jump and floated motionless on the surface. He saw the destroyer USS Richard P. Leary raise the flag for help

"Report, Captain Ahn, receive an international Morse code S.O.S. distress signal from destroyer USS Richard P. Leary." The telegraph operator reported.

Colonel Andrei, still holding the binoculars, said expressionlessly: "Got it." ”
