The Pacific Fleet's unfavorable start had a great impact on the officers and men of the entire fleet, and the entire fleet had not even fired a single shot before the flagship was almost sunk by the other side, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the entire Pacific Fleet. www.biquge.info After several rounds of shelling by the First Fleet, not only the battleship Dray was wounded, but also a battleship, several cruisers and destroyers were also damaged.

Commander-in-Chief McDoom had already arrived on another battleship Philippine in a small boat, and looked at the battleship Draver, which had been with him for several years, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot. The battle had just begun, and before the Mi Navy could attack, it was almost sunk by the Huaxia Navy a battleship, and the commander of the Pacific Fleet, who originally had only four battleships, was very painful. Now, there are only three battleships left, and it is not known how many will be left after this naval battle?

On the battleship USS Philippine, the captain of the USS Philippine was also very ugly. Originally, he thought that as long as he dragged the Great White Fleet to help in the battle, he would have a great chance of winning this battle. But now it seems, things don't seem to be what they imagined. The warships of the Huaxia Navy are not only huge, but the range of the main guns is far beyond their imagination, the power of the shells is even more huge, and the opponent's gunners are also very accurate.

For the Daming Naval Division of that year, the captain of the Philippine also knew about it, and it can also be said that it was the most powerful navy in the world that year, what Spain, the Netherlands, and France were scum compared to the most powerful Daming Naval Division. It's just that I didn't expect the times to change, the descendants of the Ming Dynasty who became slaves of the dead country, and the Daming Sailors hundreds of years later once again proved their strength to the world.

At this point, the battleship Draver gradually tilted to the left, and after a few minutes, the entire battleship was flipped on its side and slowly sank to the bottom of the sea. Of the hundreds of naval soldiers on the battleship, less than 300 escaped successfully, and the rest were all taken to the bottom of the sea by the sinking battleship.

"Shoot me back!" McDoom roared like a madman.

The shells of the entire Pacific Fleet were loaded, waiting only for the order of the commander-in-chief to open fire.

After dozens of battleships got the order to open fire, boom! Countless guns emitted black smoke, and shells rained down on the First Fleet.

The Pacific Fleet and the Spanish Fleet, both the main and secondary guns, began to fire fiercely at the First Fleet, and although the shells rained down on the ships of the First Fleet, the hit rate was not very high.

The distance of the First Fleet has exceeded the effective range of these old warships, and the heavy fire of the Pacific Fleet of the United States does not pose any threat to the First Fleet at all, but kills a lot of fish in the sea.

However, the fierce fire between the Pacific Fleet and the Spanish fleet caused great trouble to the First Fleet, and the gunners of the First Fleet only saw clouds of black smoke rising from the enemy's fleet, which completely affected the sight of the gunners.

After Sun Hao saw it, his brows couldn't help but turn into a black line. Where is this firing back? It's all about releasing smoke grenades.

"Commander-in-chief, the fleet of the United States should still be using black powder, which is why there is such a big black smoke." Shen Jun stood aside and reminded.

Sun Hao nodded slightly, the smoke was very large after the black powder was fired, Sun Hao still knew this.

McDoom on the battleship USS Philippines suddenly became entangled in his heart when he saw the countless black smoke rising from his fleet after it opened fire. After firing at their own fleet, it not only caused inconvenience to the other side, but also brought a great impact to themselves, and the black smoke on the sea greatly affected the sight of the gunners.

At the same time, McDoom also understood the gap between the two sides, and the explosives used by Huaxia had moved away from black powder and used a more advanced explosive. Not only is this explosive powerful, but the smoke after the shelling is also scarce. However, the large amount of black smoke is not all bad, at least it can affect the opponent's line of sight.

However, the warships on both sides were firing fiercely, whether they could hit the other or not, as if they only needed to shoot the shells.

After the battleship Draver was sunk, the battleship at the head was already the battleship Manila. Despite the influence of black smoke, the Huaxia Navy did not give the Mi Navy a chance to get closer.

After sinking the battleship Dravery and a burst of artillery bombardment, the Huaxia Navy took advantage of the high speed to quickly widen the distance between the two sides, and at the same time, began to turn and became a direction with the battle line of the American Navy. Trying to repeat the tactics just now, once again sending a battleship of the US Navy to the bottom of the sea.

A little later, the First Fleet of the Huaxia Navy turned around again, heading southeast, and the fleet sailed at a high speed of 25 knots, preparing to insert itself from the front of the battle line of the US Navy, and took advantage of this opportunity to take two battleships to besiege the battleship Manila, which was at the head of the battle line of the US Navy.

After seeing the opponent's movements, Admiral McDoom gave the order to turn in time, so that the entire battle line remained parallel to the Huaxia Navy.

At the same time, the direct distance between the two sides is still maintained at a distance of more than 20,000 meters, which makes the US Navy have no chance to counterattack at all.

The naval guns of the main warships of the Pacific Fleet of the United States are all 305 mm, 45 times the caliber, and although the maximum firing range is more than 10 kilometers, it is undoubtedly a fantasy to hit the opponent's warship from a distance of more than 10 kilometers.

However, the range of the main guns of the Chinese Navy has reached more than 20 kilometers, and the range far exceeds that of the main battleships of the Mi Army, but firing at this distance is simply impossible to hit the target, and it is a complete waste of shells.

The Huaxia Navy has always been in an advantageous position by virtue of its high speed, and Wang Hongliang has been looking for an opportunity to adopt the tactics of flanking and besieging, wanting to sink the opponent's battleships again. Wang Hongliang knew that as long as all the opponent's battleships were sunk, then this naval battle would basically be over.

However, McDoom wanted to bring all the battleships closer to the two sides, as long as the effective range of his ship's secondary guns was reached, McDoom believed that with the number of rapid-fire guns in his fleet, there was definitely a chance to turn defeat into victory. However, the First Fleet did not give McDoom a chance, as if the First Fleet had seen through McDum's tactics and had been using the high speed of the battleship to control the distance very delicately.

"Those yellow-skinned monkeys are so shameless, can't they fight us in a dignified manner?" After a period of chase, Admiral McDoom couldn't help but curse.

This kind of tactic that the First Fleet of the Chinese State has always adopted has undoubtedly made the officers and men of the United States Navy feel very aggrieved. They have a numerical advantage, but they can't make it happen, but they have to be careful everywhere to avoid falling into the trap of the other party. This made all the officers and men of the Mi Army and Navy hold back their anger.

In the ensuing pursuit, the First Fleet once again saw an opportunity, although it saw that the United States Navy also reacted quickly and began to turn desperately, closing the distance between the two sides, in an attempt to launch a counterattack. But the Chinese Navy still got a valuable opportunity to fire a salvo.
