The shooting accuracy of Chinese warships far exceeds Mayo's imagination, especially in the case of unobstructed line of sight, in the case, the effectiveness of the command system and the aiming system has been fully played, before it was with the help of the submarine to guide the area, a layer is missing, more is the use of fuzzy attacks, there must be a trade-off in the middle, although the hit rate is terrible, but it has not been able to go up, the hit rate of moving targets, almost reduced to about 5%, it is this hit rate, gave Mayo an illusion, so that he issued the wrong order.

In fact, after the transfer of artillery fire, Mayo had worries in his heart, in fact, Mayo's worries really became a reality, 4 battleships, in the way of waiting for the rabbit, facing those high-speed warships, and the distance between the high-speed fleet, was controlled at about 15 kilometers, and the shelling began when it was 15 kilometers apart, only the guerrilla formations of fast battleships were not the opponents of battleships at all, the Americans had overestimated the strength of the battleships as much as possible, but the power of the battleships was still underestimated, This one misjudged the result of this.

When the first wave of shells fell, even if the guerrilla formation was prepared for the shelling and avoided it to the greatest extent, but these evasions had no effect, the advance calculated by the computer ensured a hit rate of about 15%, and 6 shells hit, for the capital ship, 6 hits may only seriously damage a few ships, but it fell on the light battleship, that is, the light cruiser can take a hit, and the destroyer, even if it hits in a less important place, the 15-inch naval gun is enough for a destroyer to be severely damaged.

A shell of a ton faster, under the strong kinetic energy, smashed on a small ship of less than 2,000 tons, just this impact force is enough to cause the displacement of the ship, the lethality of the armor-piercing projectile on an unprotected battleship, the crack of the caliber of the shell may be several times, or even dozens of times, for the capital ship, it is a nightmare.

The U.S. military does not have a reliable method of radio contact, but short-range radio can still issue simple commands, the fewer orders, the more orders issued in succession, the short-term communication can be achieved, and the speed of the radio can be delivered to Mayo at the first time.

The guerrilla formation was a little at a loss, a wave of attacks, it lost 6 ships, although it was obvious that it began to sink, only half, but under the opponent's rate of fire, how long can they hold out, I'm afraid they haven't reached the front of the other party, they will be completely killed, the battleship dodges artillery fire, more relies on speed, if the speed is gone, the battleship will be hit next, without any accidents.

The telegram couldn't record a lot of things, and Mayo was just a scout fleet on one side of the street, and the news was attacked. This was somewhat out of Mayo's expectations, the other party chose the reconnaissance fleet to attack, it was the reconnaissance fleet close to the capital ship, which made Mayo a little worried, and a little excited, worried that the reconnaissance fleet would not be able to withstand the ravages of the opponent's fleet, no matter how much I heard about it before, it was just heard, and now it is a real contact, only to know that the instant explosive power of the fantasy level is so strong, and under such a powerful attack power, what else can resist their attack, don't surround it, but it was blown up by the other party.

From the high speed of both sides, close to the speed of 60 knots, the speed of 15 kilometers, may not exceed 10 minutes, according to the estimates of the Americans, even if the other side dares to attack, a few minutes will not be enough to annihilate all of them, even half is enough to considerable, and the remaining high-speed warships can drag these ships and provide opportunities for the main fleet.

Mayo made a quick decision, using the fastest speed, even if it was to open the afterburner, he had to quickly approach the guerrilla formation, not giving the fantasy class any chance, and even on the premise of taking risks, he did not hesitate to leave some low-speed patrols and heavy patrols behind.

In Mayo's view, as long as the 8 capital ships reach a position where they can shoot, as long as the guerrilla fleet still has more than 10 ships, plus the main fleet, they will be able to restrict the other side, and when the time comes, the fast battleships and the capital ships will cooperate with each other, as long as the other side does not turn around and run, then it will not be able to run away, as long as the follow-up warships come up, it will be a big victory for the US military.

The ravages of the fantasy class on the American continent have caused huge losses to the United States, they do not hesitate to transfer 12 battleships, and they have to keep them at a huge cost, and they definitely don't want the other party to run away like this, in fact, the intentions of both sides are the same, but in terms of cognition, they are confident in themselves, and in the end they have different results.

Black smoke filled the sky over the fleet, a large amount of fuel entered the crew, providing abundant kinetic energy to the battleship, the 20,000-ton powerful battleship immediately sped up and rushed forward, at this moment, Mayo's heart, still do not let go of the idea of victory, and must have this thought, otherwise, he would have run directly, in the mainstream concept of Europe and the United States, there is no face-saving problem, and under the premise of encountering an irresistible enemy, it is not an unacceptable thing to escape.

I have to say that the Americans' calculations were good, but Mayo misestimated the power of the battleship, the power of the Fantasy class is above the ordinary battleship, on the one hand, the Fantasy class uses a higher power system, artillery and armor, whether it is tonnage, or the overall strength, compared to the current mainstream battleships, there is a huge advantage, the frontal armor can withstand the main gun of any capital ship in the world, as for the speed, it can catch up with most of the battle cruisers, which is a comprehensive lead.

But if it's just this, this fantasy class is just above most of the capital ships, it just refers to the basic strength, in a one-on-one situation, it can win, and it can't bring an overwhelming advantage, the reason why the fantasy class can sneak into the United States from a distance of tens of thousands of nautical miles, and cause such earth-shattering results, the reason is very simple, the real advantage of the fantasy class lies in the artillery command system.

It is the artillery command system that makes the fantasy class turn decay into magic, perfectly playing the many advantages of speed, protection and artillery, and the shooting accuracy is several times higher than other warships, or even more than ten times higher, which is the fundamental reason why the fantasy class can use one ship against several other ships, and it is also the foundation for Cheng Biguang to dare to be alone with 4 ships against 12 battleships and 137 large and small ships.

Yang Yuanzhao crossed, not only brought the thoughts and ideas of later generations, but also brought a thing against the sky, the 21st century large-scale integrated circuits, even if it is an ordinary calculator in a small shop, at the beginning of the 20th century, it is also a thing against the sky, based on the development of this foundation, the birth of supercomputers, World War II, electronics and materials have become the main cornerstone of scientific and technological development, although the foundation has not achieved breakthrough development, but the strength of science and technology is far from being able to compare with before.

It is precisely because after the advent of the computer, the form of the weapon has been greatly changed, why the thrust-to-weight ratio of more than 12 engines, it must be stronger than the engine of 11, but the thrust-to-weight ratio of the increase in the amplitude, does not represent the role, but a larger engine, can make the weight of the fuselage rise to a certain extent, carry a larger radar, stronger missiles, the advantages on this are more obvious, the aircraft is more as a platform, a platform for building weapons, the real constraint of the aircraft is powerful, is the missile.

At present, China's warships have not yet reached the level of running and aiming radar, that is an automatic response, according to the flight trajectory of the opponent's shells, it can calculate the position of the crude opponent, suppress the opponent, the reaction time may only be a few seconds, but the ship with powerful computers and software has allowed China to have a rudimentary form, the combination of optical ranging and computer systems, the reaction speed has been greatly accelerated, and as for the accuracy, it has increased dramatically.

The appearance of dreadnoughts, so all the former dreadnoughts before the dreadnoughts were eliminated, the reason is very simple, replace the individual with the whole, with the same caliber, the same position of the artillery, the formation of an artillery network, can increase the hit rate, but in this way, for each gun alone, his hit rate is bound to decline, in the individual aiming, there is a certain chance, several, or even all the guns hit, the salvo of the area, basically buries this possibility, even if it hits, there must be a miss, Otherwise, it is impossible to control a certain range.

This is the inevitable era of heavy gun capital ships, which has brought about a revolution in dreadnoughts, and has also made light ships no longer able to walk on the main line, and many times, the evaluation of a country's naval strength is often the number of capital ships, rather than the total tonnage of ships.

Such an area total, to ensure a certain degree of fame, at least in the degree of concentration, he fixed in a relatively high area, the overall hit rate is improved, because of this, when one side is still engaged in probability, one side can hit with a relatively large probability, such an aiming method, is to change the tradition of naval warfare, make naval warfare more terrifying, the battle line, this since the name of the battleship appeared, has been in the naval artillery battle occupies an extremely important position, After the advent of the fantasy-class command system, it was completely outdated, just like the platoon shooting of the army in the past, which was historic and revolutionary.

The command system is also epoch-making, directly across this area aiming, although the problem of area shooting has not been abandoned, but the bigger one, is a separate shooting, such a shooting method, perhaps for large warships, the effect of battleships is not very good, but for some small warships, that is a nightmare, because almost every gun, can be aimed at different targets alone, under the accurate numbers provided by the computer of the command system, the efficiency is amazing.

In the perception of the U.S. military, 12 guns, if the method of salvo fire, against a destroyer and a battleship, the effect is the same, there is a huge waste, even if the other side is a ship against a small boat, it will not be able to achieve results in a short time, this is also the fundamental purpose of Mayo sent a guerrilla fleet, but they were wrong, confirmed this mistake, buried the last chance of the United States, and let them completely plant themselves in the Caribbean.
