Chapter 152: The Flagship Strikes

Boom! The first round of artillery bombardment of the First Fleet has begun, and although the first round of test firing did not hit a single battleship of the Mi Army, the power of the 380mm main gun of the Zheng He-class battleship has caused a certain shadow in the hearts of the Mi sailors.

McDoom stood on the flagship of the Draver, and after seeing the other party's cannonballs, he saw the shells falling in the seawater, blowing up columns of water that rushed to the sky, but his heart gradually calmed down.

The battleship Draence of the Pacific Fleet of the United States is also the flagship of the Pacific Fleet, and at this time, the battleship Deleva also began to turn. In the process of turning, the staff officer on the battleship Delever, however, put forward a different opinion. At present, the battleship Draence is the bow of the ship against the enemy, although it is besieged by the Huaxia Navy, but the bomb area is relatively small, if you turn to the battleship horizontally, the side will be exposed to the Huaxia Navy, and the bomb area will be greatly increased. When the time comes, the battleship Draence will be dealt an even more serious blow.

However, McDoom ultimately decided to take the ship sideways and exploit the Draver's maximum firepower advantage. Only after turning can we launch a fierce counterattack, rather than blindly being beaten and fighting back.

The battleship Draver had four 305 mm main guns, four 208 mm secondary guns, dozens of rapid-fire guns, etc., which made the battleship Draver strong. However, even though the battleship Dravery had so many guns, McDoom still did not have the confidence to defeat the Chinese navy.

The First Fleet of Huaxia did not adopt any T-shaped formation, because the warships of Huaxia were mainly designed with main guns, as long as the battleships were slightly adjusted so that the gunners could see the enemy firing. The T-shaped tactic also has a great disadvantage, that is, the entire battleship will be exposed to enemy fire. The advantage is that it can exert maximum firepower.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! In the third round of salvo fire, the battleship Warrior, the flagship of the First Fleet of the Chinese Navy, with eight main guns, fired intensive artillery fire at the battleship Draver.

Rumble! Rumble! As the shells got closer, the battleship Draver began to shake as the battleship Draver began to shake with a raging wave from the violent explosion of the shells.

The American sailors on the battleship Drahua began to panic a little, at such a distance, with the effective range of the main guns of the battleship Deleva, they could not threaten the other party at all, and they could only watch the other party fire in front of them.

Rumble! Rumble! This time the battleship Leva was not so lucky, being hit by two 380-mm shells.

The shell smashed into the battleship Laihua and caused a violent explosion, and the battleship, which was more than 10,000 tons, shook.

"Report the loss!" The captain of the battleship Draver asked loudly after getting up from the ground in embarrassment.

"One shot from the bow main gun, the main gun was destroyed! The stern of the ship was hit by a bullet, and the aft deck caught fire. ”

Although the sailors on the battleship rescued the damaged battleship, the fire in the stern was difficult to extinguish. At the same time, the bow main gun was destroyed. The Draver's combat power was reduced by a half.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! A minute later, the Huaxia Navy fired a fifth volley. This salvo completely ended the battleship Draver. In this round of salvo, three shells hit the battleship Draver.

A shell hit the bridge of the battleship Draver, and the shell tore through the armor of the bridge of the battleship Dravery from the left side. The armor of the bridge of the battleship Draver was only 260 mm, which was not able to stop the shells fired by the 380 mm naval guns of the Chinese Navy. The shell exploded in the bridge, killing all the officers inside, including the captain.

The second shell hit the apostle of the battleship Draver. The shells tore through the middle armor of the battleship Draver and pierced the boiler compartment. The large oil-fired boiler in the boiler room was damaged, and high-temperature steam leaked out of the boiler, killing all dozens of Mi Navy soldiers in the boiler room in an instant. At the same time, a boiler compartment was destroyed, which reduced the speed of the battleship Drayver.

The deadliest blow came to the third shell. The third shell hit the port side of the battleship Draver. The shell exploded at the waterline, and the fragile side armor could not withstand the power of the explosion of the 380 mm shell, and it was easily torn open a hole several meters long, and the sea water poured into the battleship Draver.

The rescue personnel on the battleship Deleva immediately rescued the battleship Deleva. But soon the rescue was declared a failure. A large amount of seawater entered the battleship Draver under tremendous pressure, and the rescuers were unable to plug the hole.

At this time, the sixth salvo of the Warrior began. In this round of salvo, two shells again hit the bow and amidships of the battleship Draver. ‘

The bow of the battleship Dray was directly smashed. But fortunately, it was above the waterline and there was no water ingress. The second shell hit the chimney behind the battleship Draver, and the entire chimney collapsed, smashing a lot of the superstructure, and at the same time, the black poisonous smoke filled the boiler room, killing many of the American sailors inside.

The battleship Draver, which was hit by a large-caliber shell in the vital part again, basically lost power completely. A large amount of seawater poured in from the left side, causing the hull of the battleship Draver to tilt. The sinking of the battleship Draver was only a matter of time.

After Sun Hao saw the power of the cannonballs fired by the Warrior through the telescope, his heart was quite shocked, even if it was not the first time to see the power of the battleship, after seeing these scenes, his heart was still inexplicably excited. It is no wonder that in the middle of World War II, many admirals insisted on building large-caliber main guns and building battleships with a larger displacement.

The power brought by the battleship's main guns is really extraordinary, especially the scene when the main guns are fired, which is even more shocking, of course, Sun Hao is no exception.

Seeing that the battleship Delehua was hit with thousands of holes, and the sailors on it kept jumping into the sea to escape, Sun Hao showed a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.

For the people of the United States, Sun Hao has no good feelings in his heart, the rice country in history has hurt China too much, even in the difficult period of the Anti-Japanese War, it has been hurting China, and it is also called aid.

Sun Hao knows that these are all gorgeous propaganda by government agencies, and they are just the needs of the face project, and the real bitterness is known to the Chinese leaders, but they can't help but publicize it to curry favor with the United States.
