At the same time, the other four warships led by Han Laosan have also fired torpedoes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

A few seconds later, the cruiser Leshan fired two torpedoes at the battleship USS Virginia.

With two crisp sounds, two torpedoes shot out of the launch tubes in front of the bow and rushed towards the battleship Virginia, which was directly in front of them.

The battleship Virginia is a first-class battleship currently in service with the US Navy, with a full load displacement of 16,000 tons, thick armor and strong firepower, making the USS Virginia one of the most powerful battleships in service in the US Navy. It's just that this kind of battleship can't be compared with the new battleships of the Huaxia Navy for Huaxia at all. Now in the face of the advanced torpedo attack of the bad Huaxia warships, they are even more powerless to resist.

"Oh God! What the hell is going on? "Rear Admiral Wid-Alle on the battleship Virginia looked at the slowly sinking battleship Indian, and was stunned in surprise!

Rear Admiral Wid-Alai was only concerned about fleeing for his life, not knowing that the battleship Indian had been torpedoed and sunk, nor did he see the warning on the battleship Indian, only that the battleship was sinking soon.

"Hell, what the hell is going on? Why did the battleship USS Indian suddenly explode and sink? Major General Wid-Alai roared angrily.

Because of the sudden sinking of the battleship Indian, it attracted the attention of the officers and men of all other battleships in the United States. Some of the soldiers who had been sticking to their posts couldn't help but flock to the port side of the battleship to see what was happening. The American Navy soldiers on the battleship Virginia were no exception.

As a result, after the cruiser Leshan fired the torpedoes, no American naval soldiers found that the two torpedoes were heading straight for the battleship Virginia. In this way, there is nothing to dodge, because their eyes are attracted to the sunken wood of the Indian. Of course, with the advanced torpedoes of Huaxia Kingdom, even if they evade it, it will be difficult to escape.

Rumble! There was a loud bang. A heavy torpedo hit the battleship Virginia in the bow part. The entire battleship, in the midst of the violent explosion, shook violently.

The sailors of the US Navy on the deck of the ship were like flying through the clouds, and some of them were thrown away, and many sailors on the battleship were even shaken into the sea.

Another torpedo missed the battleship Virginia and crossed in front of the bow, while the battleship Virginia was lucky enough to escape.

One torpedo was obviously not enough to bury this huge battleship with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons, but the powerful torpedo was enough to inflict heavy damage on the battleship.

The battleship Virginia was torn open a hole of several meters in the bow waterline, and the raging sea water rushed into the tank. Soon after, the bow of the battleship Virginia began to sink slowly.

Rear Admiral Wid-Alai now knew that the constant firing of the opposing warships was just a cover-up, and the real killer weapon was the release of torpedoes. At the same time, Major General Weedalai was very surprised by the power of the Huaxia torpedo, which was completely beyond what Major General Wedealai knew about torpedoes.

Seeing that the bow of the battleship had sunk, Rear Admiral Wid-Alai quickly ordered the activation of the watertight compartment, and at the same time, also ordered the rear of the battleship to be filled with water to maintain the balance of the battleship.

At the same time, another cruiser of the United States, the Archie, was also hit by two torpedoes, and the cruiser Archie was lifted out of the water by the explosion wave brought by the two torpedoes, and then fell heavily to the sea. The hull was broken in two.

The armor of the cruiser was far inferior to that of the battleship, and in less than 20 seconds after being hit by two heavy torpedoes, the broken hull of the cruiser Archie sank into the sea. Leaves a huge swirling socket on the surface of the sea. A few hundred meters above the battleship, only a handful of the sailors survived.

Rumble! Explosions were heard again. The ships of the United States were constantly torpedoed, and in an unprepared situation, several battleships were hit. The cruiser Fowler, which was not far away, was also hit by a torpedo.

Then, the destroyer USS Alpha, the destroyer USS Hutt, the destroyer USS Hawaii, and the USS Rise were torpedoed. A 533 mm heavy torpedo is not enough to kill them, but it can definitely inflict heavy damage. For a while, the people of the entire fleet of the United States were panicked.

Han Laosan's initial idea was to annihilate these Mi warships, but when he ordered to launch a torpedo, he changed it to capture the other party, which may have a greater sense of accomplishment, so he ordered not to launch the torpedo with all his might. Han Laosan knew that as long as the opponent's battleship was hit by a torpedo, and then used other means of forced landing, it would definitely succeed.

Although these warships are very backward, it would not be bad if they could be captured and repaired and used to patrol the islands in the South Seas, but the two fleets of the Huaxia Kingdom could not patrol so many islands in the South Seas. Undoubtedly, Han Laosan's idea is very good.

Battleships were sunk one after another, and even more battleships were hit by the opponent's torpedoes, and at the same time, the opponent was still shelling fiercely, and some shells fell on the American battleships. These officers and soldiers of the United States were completely frightened. None of them expected that the combat effectiveness of the Huaxia warships would be so terrifying.

When the two sides encountered, they were originally still full of confidence, thinking that this time they would definitely be able to defeat the warships of the Huaxia Kingdom. However, when they saw the power of the main guns of the Huaxia warship, they clearly realized the gap between the two sides. Now the sudden change has completely lost their faith.

"Aim for the USS Washington Cruiser, torpedo fire!" In the panic of the United States fleet, the Huashan battle patrol once again aimed at the second target, the Washington battle patrol of the United States Navy.

Shout! Shout! Two torpedoes were fired from the launch tube and rushed towards the starboard side of the Washington Cruiser.

On the battle patrol of the Washington, several American naval sailors who were looking at it soon discovered the attacking torpedoes. At this moment, the torpedo was still a few hundred meters away from the Washington battle cruiser, and the torpedo that was rushing at a speed of 45 knots was very fast.

"Torpedoes, two torpedoes on the port side! Evade quickly! The lookouts immediately issued a warning.

The captain of the Washington Troopers, who immediately began to evade urgently.

The captain's experience played a role, and although the speed of the torpedo was very fast, the Washington Cruiser was able to dodge one, but the other torpedo crashed into the stern of the Washington Cruiser.

Rumble! A violent explosion sounded, and then the battle patrol of the Washington shook violently, and some of the sailors on the deck of the battle patrol were shaken to the deck, and some of the sailors even fell into the sea.

On the battle patrol of Huashan, Han Laosan looked at his masterpiece with high spirits, so far, out of the 19 warships of the United States, six gunboats were not injured, and the other battleships were either torpedoed or hit by shells, and several were sunk. Seeing such a result, Han Laosan was very happy. At the same time, Han Laosan also developed a new set of tactics, that is, the combination of artillery and torpedoes.

"Flag Slogan! Let them surrender! Han Laosan ordered.

Soon, the flag-bearer on the Huashan waved the flag towards the battleship Virginia.

Rear Admiral Wid-Ale on the battleship Virginia, of course, saw the other party's movements and understood what the other party meant.

After a moment's hesitation, Major General Wid'Alai chose to surrender, perhaps in order to find a way out.

Soon, the white flags were blown on the battleships of the United States. Although surrender was a shameless act, the sailors of the United States became excited, and they had been worried about their lives and survival problems were finally guaranteed.
