Chapter 1431 - Liquidation of the Guerrilla Fleet

Mayo may have realized that he is at a disadvantage, with a hint of gambling, and continues to rush forward, but Mayo thinks that the Chinese side cannot grasp the situation on the battlefield, on China's radar, the situation between the two sides is almost clear at a glance, Cheng Biguang knows very well in his heart, even at this moment, the opponent's main fleet is the closest, and even in a sense, this is one of the best opportunities to strike at the US capital ships, because the main fleet is staggered with the heavy patrol, There were only 8 battleships and less than 10 small ships.

If Cheng Biguang's purpose is only to hit the Americans and reduce his capital ships as much as possible, he will definitely move towards the capital ships, and the 4 Fantasy-class can send 8 battleships into the sea in the case of a strong attack, and strike 12 US battleships at one time, which is enough to make the US Navy suffer the biggest blow.

Cheng Biguang's heart is even bigger, he accurately grasped the problem of the capital ship, 137 battleships, it seems to be a large-scale, fully functional battleship, but when the formation of 32 light ships was attacked, it proved that the light ships were weak, the main fleet, their speed was hard, once the remaining fleet was cleared, the main fleet was the target, and there were 8 capital ships, as well as many loading and heavy patrols, compared with the fantasy class, it was not a grade above the level at all, It's just a little bit faster, and he can't help it.

Compared with artillery bombardment, there is no ship's firepower, which can be compared with the fantasy class, 12 15-inch guns, almost blessing the battleship's shelling ability to the extreme, good protection, even under the siege of dozens of artillery formations on the other side, it can still be at ease, in the armor protection ability, Cheng Biguang is quite confident, in this sense, the greater threat to the fantasy class is on the other side, more than 40 light ships are outflanking in place.

Whether it is a light cruiser or a destroyer, it has the ability to launch torpedoes, to a certain extent, it has perfect armor, and powerful warships, the most afraid is not shelling, the opponent's 12-inch naval guns, the attack power of the fantasy class is almost reduced to the minimum, unless it is lucky to pass through the layers of defense and hit the weak link of the fantasy class, otherwise, many heavy guns are not as good as the torpedoes.

Torpedoes, from the day they were born, have become the most powerful threat to surface ships, a 533 mm torpedo, in the case of a sufficient charge, is far greater than the threat brought by a 15-inch armor-piercing projectile, although for torpedoes, a lot of protection has been made, many water tank designs of the Fantasy class, as well as protective torpedo nets, but the Fantasy class that came to Europe is not a complete version, and the number of high-level dual-purpose machine guns used to attack torpedoes is insufficient, so they are more threatening to the Fantasy class.

Fortunately, there is no communication connection on the part of the US military, there is no reliable radio, which can give full play to the strength of the US military, they have formed several staggered parts, and both parts know that a fleet has been annihilated, but what to do next, there is no perfect communication system, they can only choose their own ones, later researchers found that in this critical battle, the 4 Fantasy class every step is very good, every choice is correct, but the US military companies have made a lot of mistakes, Some mistakes have even ruined the good form of the US military.

The more than 40 warships in this part, because of the outflanking relationship, formed a gap of at least 20 kilometers between them and the capital ships, and this gap will become Cheng Biguang's best opportunity, and he made a decision after a little calculation.

With the help of the island's disguise, the 4 capital ships immediately turned around, at this moment, the speed was strengthened to the extreme, the speed of its own fantasy class was about 27 knots, but after two years of improvement, and after the improvement, the power increase was limited, about 20%, but in terms of use efficiency and transformation, it has been improved, the maximum speed can reach 29.2 knots, driven by strong power, close to 50,000 tons of strong warships, began to roar,

This is a huge battlefield, especially the barrier of the central island, and it is difficult for the US military to see the situation here, but the Chinese side has grasped the initiative on the battlefield by relying on radar and preconceived premises.

Mayo led the main fleet, and they bypassed the island as fast as possible, but they didn't know that behind the island, Cheng Biguang's department was basically in place, and the battleship of nearly 50,000 tons, driven by the power system, quickly rushed towards the other end at a speed close to 30 knots, and at such a speed, the other side of the American fleet did not realize it at all.

Mayo may have been lucky, or perhaps because of communications, did not contact the other side of the fleet at the first time, because of the distance between the islands, the US military did not discover the Chinese side of the movement at the first time, and when it was discovered, it was too late, when the battleship entered the attack formation, countless artillery fire, began to tilt towards the other side.

This flank fleet, the number of warships is a little more, more than 30% higher than the previous fleet, but it is useless, in the fantasy class of more than 15 kilometers of range, the first wave suffered a big loss, this time, Cheng Biguang's luck is even better, the first wave shrouded the US warships, causing 8 shots, 4 of which were destroyers, directly hit head-on, less than 2000 tons, without any protection of the destroyer, facing 15 kilometers away from the armor-piercing shells, heavy artillery plus high muzzle velocity, A devastating blow was inflicted on the destroyers, 4 destroyers, having suffered irreparable losses almost on the spot, began to sink.

This is a blow to the head, the US military never thought that there is a warship, its artillery power will be so high, the hit rate will be so large, in the US military's habitual cognition, perhaps the dreadnought effect on small boats is a little better, but the good is limited.

After bypassing the island, they were on high alert, and they also received a farewell message on the other side, for 32 large and small ships, they were all wiped out so quickly, they also had doubts, but there was vigilance, when the fantasy-level shells came over, the US troops who were on full alert were still the first to react and make the largest evasion, but still how much effect there was, and the opponent's hit accuracy was too high.

What's even more terrifying is the frequency, 2 rounds in 1 minute, not at all because it hits, or it doesn't hit, and reduces the frequency of launching, so that like a cold-blooded animal, it maintains the intensity of the attack, and cleans up the ships here little by little, for the guerrilla fleet, this is a nightmare, almost every minute, every second, there are ships that are hit, and small boats meet battleships, every time they are hit, it is a sea of blood.

Finally, the commander of the guerrilla fleet could no longer bear any longer, and on the one hand, he ordered his ships to continue to maneuver in a wide area, while on the other hand, sent a distress message to the main fleet.

Another urgent call for help, the US military has not yet woken up from the nightmare of problems with the first search fleet, and the second fleet has also been attacked, what is this why is the fleet so powerful, just on the telegram, in just a few minutes, more than a dozen ships were hit.

However, Mayo has no time to be pessimistic about this, he must solve the problem immediately, although he doesn't know why the Second Fleet was attacked, their main fleet must immediately approach the Second Fleet, otherwise, when the Second Fleet also loses, there will be less than 50 of the more than 130 warships of various types, and the loss will be more than 80, which is not conducive to the next operation.

The two guerrilla fleets are mainly small warships, although they do not have the ability to confront the battleships head-on, but if they lose these, only those capital ships remain, and Mayo also has no bottom in his heart, although he doesn't know what the idea of the other party's battleships is discounted, but the other party's purpose is very clear, just the previous distance, it should be that the other party is closer to the capital ships when they annihilate the first guerrilla fleet, but they would rather go near and far away to attack the second guerrilla fleet, which proves that from the degree of importance and the threat sequence, It should be that those light warships are a little bigger, Mayo can't figure out why this is so, but out of a captain's intuition, where the other party is willing to work hard, he must destroy.

At this moment, Mayo can only continue to accelerate and move closer to the other end, at this time, he has bypassed the island, but he has not seen the opponent's battlefield, and he is still covered by the island, which means that he is running around the island today.

The fantasy class is very fast, plus the relative distance above, and it is not very far, as long as it reaches a distance of more than 15 kilometers, the two sides can shell, it is very convenient, this time, there is no cannon like the last time, after the battle is done in the distance, this time it is related to whether this battleship can be completely annihilated, there is a threat to the battleship, very little, but the opponent's small fleet and the capital ship cooperate, you can threaten the fantasy class, you must clear one by one.

For Cheng Biguang, if only the capital ship remains, the Fantasy class can fly a kite. On the one hand, most of the battleships have their guns arranged in the forward position, and the battleships that are bent on escaping are less able to put their guns into counterattacks, and on the second point, flying kites may affect the battle line, once the battle line cannot be fought, the concentration and power of the artillery fire cannot come out, but for the fantasy class, this problem does not exist at all. Under the command system, the battleship can attack in any direction, any organizational structure, and can form a range to cover the attack, but those battleships that are faster than the capital ship, once there is any left, the colleagues flying the kite will pose a threat to the capital ship, so before that, these ships must be disposed of.
