Just as the Ursi continued to close the distance between the two sides, the Cangzhou suddenly made an astonishing move, almost at full speed to suddenly turn to the two Chinese ships that were biased to the left side of the sea, which disrupted the wishful thinking of the Americans......

The purpose of the destroyer Ursi is naturally not to compete head-on with the Cangzhou, and the concept of a small ship and a good turn naturally also affects the thoughts of the destroyer commander, Major Michaelson, for his speed of 35 knots, the American major naturally has a lot of confidence, anyway, as long as the Chinese destroyer is constantly threatened, the other party will not be able to run away to threaten the Philal.

As for the issue of firing guns, in fact, Major Wizardson and Major Weir both thought the same way - China and the United States did not declare war, and in this case, as soldiers, they naturally understand that it is obviously impossible for both sides to provoke a war between countries so easily, but in such a tense confrontation, it is obviously unprofessional behavior to not prepare.

When the destroyer Ursi suddenly turned and made the move of attacking the Cangzhou in the left rear position, it was clear that it had no firm intention of ramming...... But soon, Major Michael found out that he was in big trouble, the Chinese did not seem to intend to play a game of circles with him at all, and the destroyer Cangzhou did not seem to pay attention to his intention to pounce on the other side at all, but directly deflected the bow to point to the Filar, which was coercing the Chinese merchant ships.

"If you press it up, you must force the Yankees to turn!" Major Michelson saw that the distance between the two sides was still close, less than 3,000 meters, for a destroyer with a speed of 35 knots at this time. That is, a two- or three-minute flight, but he didn't see the slightest probability of succeeding in hindering the other party, and he was forced to make a change.

3000 m ......

2500 m ......

"Captain. The enemy ship on the right flank is 2,400 meters away, the speed is measured at 35 knots, and the course angle is 81 degrees......" The officer at the observation position reported loudly to Hu Heping, and at the same time added a sentence, "It is estimated that the collision will be 1 minute and 50 seconds!" ”

Hu Heping was naturally not idle at the moment, he had long just stared at the Ursi that was coming through the waves, and the other party's intentions were too obvious. But to be honest, it's still a little troublesome to be without fire, after all, your purpose is to protect your own merchant ships. The key to this task is to maintain the overwhelming superiority of the Cangzhou......

"Countdown to 20 seconds...... Maintain the momentum, the right full rudder! Execute Plan A! Hu Heping held the binoculars and gave the latest order unhurriedly and firmly. Order. The police lights on all parts of the battleship were lit at the same time, and the battle groups on the starboard side of the entire battleship left their combat positions and ran to the port side.

"Starboard No. 1 ...... in position"

"Starboard No. 2 position in place......"

"Bilge personnel in position......"

"2300m ......"

"A gun position is in place......

“……”

"2000 meters...... Collision occurs in 1 minute and 30 seconds! ”

"Ready...... Full rudder! ”

On the destroyer Ursi, Major Michael Son had been looking at the Chinese warship in the distance in astonishment, and in the case of his own continuous high-speed advance, the other side still maintained an almost completely stable course and advanced at high speed, as if he completely ignored his own existence, and the distance between the two sides was reduced to less than 2,000 meters that he could not imagine. I didn't even see the other party deflect to avoid the collision......

You know, even the most powerful battleships. It will not allow a thousand-ton destroyer to hit its own hull without scruples, even if the current battleship has long given up the useless ramming angle, but the huge impact force is enough to damage the keel structure of the battleship, causing serious hull deformation, and the weight of 1,000 tons plus the speed comparable to a torpedo, the impact force is absolutely amazing.

Chinese was so crazy to let himself ram, the commander of the other party was either a madman or a fanatic, and the officers around him had begun to loudly remind the warship of the imminent collision, which made Major Michael Son also start to be a little undecided, after all, once the impact occurred, although according to the current appearance, he may be less damaged, but this does not mean that he will not be damaged, as for the extent of the damage, he himself is actually not sure......

At this moment, Hu Heping obviously made a decision in place of Major Michaelson, and in front of the American warship advancing at high speed, the course of the more slender destroyer Cangzhou suddenly underwent a shocking reversal, and the original angle of nearly 90 degrees between the two sides, due to the full steering of the Cangzhou rudder and full speed, completely changed in the next 20 seconds.

The huge hull of the Cangzhou moved rapidly at the tip of the waves with an almost amazing force under the full rudder and high-speed propulsion, and the battleship quickly swept to the right wing because of the huge lateral power and longitudinal inertia, and the four high-powered radial rapid-fire gun positions on the right wing, which originally protruded from the side of the ship, had been covered by huge waves in just a few seconds because of the huge hull inclination.

In the next moment, because of the huge thrust of the waves, the guns on the side of the side were suddenly revealed at the top of the waves, and the whole battleship seemed to suddenly emerge from the bottom of the sea, and the high mainmast lookout on the battleship showed a terrifying angle of less than 40 degrees to the rough sea...... The Cangzhou destroyer, driven by strong power, almost rolled at nearly 45 degrees, and completed an amazing sharp turn in just half a minute!

"The Chinese rushed over!" There was an uproar aboard the Ursy......

Almost at the same time, the situation that was still thinking about ramming the Cangzhou destroyer Ursy had undergone a terrifying reversal, and the original right-angled course angle between the two sides became a frontal impact with a relative speed of more than 70 knots, and at this moment, the time given to Major Michaelsen to consider it was instantly shortened to less than one minute!

For the young Major Mickelson, such a fierce confrontation was obviously completely unexpected, and it was not in any of the foreseeable exercise plans of the US Navy, in which such a warship advancing at full speed, according to the procedures of the Navy's tactical exercises, such an astonishing full rudder steering was not allowed at all, and in the event of a power failure, it was very likely that the battleship would capsize at a large elevation angle!

But in front of him was precisely this impossible tactical maneuver. As a direct result, the destroyer, which has a displacement of just over half of the opponent's displacement, has almost no choice but to collide head-on with the opponent......

"Maniac...... Left turn rudder 30 degrees...... Left turn rudder 30 degrees...... Avoid the Chinese! "Major Michael Son watched the massive battleship rushing in his face. This frustration that was about to be crushed completely shattered him who was full of confidence a few minutes ago, and at this moment, the so-called tactical problem has long been thrown out of the clouds, and now the only problem is how to avoid colliding!

Inside the bridge of the Cangzhou, there was a mess! The powerful turn, which can almost be called a drift at sea, is indeed almost beyond Hu Heping's control. Anything that was not fixed on any platform on the battleship without exception flew out in a huge roll, even including his favorite large enamel teapot of the South China Fleet...... But. Compared to these chaotic scenes, he naturally prefers the battle situation that he is already in control now!

After the sharp turn, although the speed of the Cangzhou decreased slightly, the opponent who was close at hand was completely stunned at this moment. Hu Heping didn't even see the other party make any so-called response. Including instructions such as adjusting the course and avoiding frontal impact, of course, in fact, Major Michael did give the steering order, but the problem is that the transmission system sensitivity of the Wicks-class destroyers is far less than that of China, which has developed nearly a dozen destroyers of three generations.

500 m ......

300 m ......

100 m ......

Major Mickelson clung to the handrail in the bridge, and watched in despair as the huge steel monster in front of him was pressed against him like a mountain, and he was powerless to fight back...... Just like the high-speed maneuvering maneuvers that Cangzhou could make before. The Wicks-class destroyers simply cannot be realized, with a huge roll impact. It is entirely possible to damage the thin hull of a thousand-ton battleship...... And this fatal problem directly led to the crushing impact of the Cangzhou in such a high-intensity confrontation.

Of course, Hu Heping did not intend to carry out a frontal impact, and the tactic of killing the enemy by 1,000 and losing 800 was not the goal of a good naval commander...... It's completely pressed up!

After the Cangzhou rudder turned sharply, the huge inclination angle of nearly 45 degrees on the starboard side of the hull, driven by strong power, violently rubbed against the starboard side of the Ulsi that swooped over with huge inertia, and there was a terrifying creaking sound between the steel plates.

The huge inertia of the battleship after turning led to an inclination angle of nearly 45 degrees, completely transferring the huge kinetic energy to the destroyer Ursi that collided with it at this moment, and after nearly 30 seconds, almost desperate steel friction sound, the destroyer Ursi suffered a near-devastating crush, and the Cangzhou of more than 2,000 tons, with the impact of huge kinetic energy, all of a sudden poured on its starboard side!

After being crushed, the starboard side of the destroyer USS Ulsi was lifted high by the impact, and the battleship swung violently to the port side, and the inclination angle to the sea level was still more than 50 degrees, which was a huge roll that almost capsized, and the previous command of Major Michaelson's left rudder became the last straw that broke the camel's back......

Hu Heping stood firmly in the command room of the Cangzhou, and the fierceness of the impact fell within his expectations, but the tragic result of the Yankee battleship was completely unexpected by him......

With an unprecedented and unpredictable momentum, the bow of the Cangzhou staggered up after a violent impact and rushed up along the starboard side of the battleship Ursi, which had been tilted at a large angle......

Less than 4,000 people away, more than 200 people on 2 Chinese merchant ships and 1 American destroyer rushed to the side to watch the battle when the warships of the two sides were fiercely confrontational, and at this moment, they were all stunned as if they were magical!

The Cangzhou destroyer violently struck the American destroyer USS Ursi from the starboard side in an almost overwhelming posture, and then, the bow of the first half of the Cangzhou also made people staggeringly climb directly onto the US battleship that had a serious **** hull, and the huge strength of more than 2,000 tons, like an invisible hand, slapped the USS Ursy directly into the sea.

At the next moment, when the Cangzhou was still unfinished and slowly slid down from the destroyer Ursy, which was already across the sea, this crushing confrontation had already announced a result without suspense! (To be continued.) )
