When the battleships of both sides pulled away, the mood of both sides was exactly the opposite of the beginning, and Tycho felt a little uneasy at this time, Hipper had already broken his promise once, and this time he also said that he could block two American battleships, and Tycho naturally did not give much hope. But Majifen is in a good mood, Sims has already hit the opponent hard, when the three super dreadnoughts join the battlefield, the advantages and disadvantages will be reversed, and he only needs to hold out for less than 1 hour at most. And Majifen has enough auxiliary warships to stall for time. He was even curious now why Tycho hadn't retreated, although high-speed battleships could theoretically enter and exit the battlefield at will, but in fact, the speed was affected by too many factors, plus the other side also had some slow-speed warships, so if Majifen was Tycho, he might have chosen to retreat at this time.

The distance between the two sides was gradually closing, and the Allied fleet had already allocated firepower, with the Longxiang and the Caraccino attacking the battleship Tennessee at the head of the opposing line, while the other two Caraciono-class battleships attacked the other Tennessee-class battleship, and then by analogy, the two French battleships were handed over to the Gneisenau and the Sultan Suleiman I...... After these key goals are determined, the rest of the people will fight each other! However, Majifen does not mean to fight with the other party now, he needs to drag it now! Time! Space! A large number of destroyers released a smoke screen on the engaged side of the fleet, and a thick smoke screen obscured the entire fleet. In the absence of radar and aviation fire, before the smoke screen disappears, the attack of the Allied fleet will not be accurate, of course, the US Navy will also not be able to carry out an effective attack, but it doesn't matter, Magiffin can afford to wait!. …。

Although the wind direction is very unfavorable, the wind is a little strong today, under the blowing of the sea breeze, the smoke screen produced by the smoke canisters is quickly blown away, and the American fleet uses at least 6 percent more smoke canisters than usual in order to maintain the thickness of the smoke screen! Minutes and seconds passed. Simply, the Allied fleet also stopped shelling, and in the face of the gray smoke screen in front of it and the warships looming behind it, the attack in this situation was a waste of ammunition. But at this time, Tycho was not in a hurry. Because he had just received a telegram. Hipper led the Bavaria in mid-mine and the Baden in good condition to catch up with the Sims fleet again!

At this time, Sims was completely dumbfounded, he didn't expect the battleship Bavaria, which had just been hit by a torpedo, to catch up so quickly! How did this battleship that was hit by a torpedo run faster than itself? This incident was not unexpected in the eyes of professional naval technicians. The reason is simple, after all, Bavaria is a super-battleship with a standard displacement of 32000 tons. The full load displacement is higher, although more than 1,000 tons of water have been entered, but this water inlet in the opinion of the Bavaria, at most, has just made up for the weight of the free fuel. Don't forget, after a long journey, Bavaria runs out of fuel. The current state is not at all fully loaded, so it is nothing from the point of view of water ingress. And the location where this torpedo hit happened to be a place with better underwater protection, although it caused a large amount of water ingress, but the core compartment was intact, and the subdivision compartment also limited the water intake to a certain range..........

Plus the power of the Bismarck-class battleships was sufficient in itself. The power of the American battleships was poor. When it's okay, it's in the early 20s. In the battle, the bow and tail of the ship were also damaged, and there was a lot of water intake, so the German fleet still maintained a speed advantage over the American battleship, and the repair time was not too long. So it didn't take long to catch up with the Sims fleet again! "Our fleet is fighting with the German fleet again, and the combat effectiveness of the two Bismarck-class battleships on the other side remains relatively good, while our Nevada has less than half of the combat strength, and it is in a bitter battle, I hope that General Magifin will make a decision as soon as possible!" At the beginning, Sims was still thinking about the two sides and tried to repel his opponent again. But the combat power of the two New Mexico-class battleships was already weaker than that of the opponent, and the extra Nevada was in a really bad state, so after the two sides fought for more than ten minutes, the scene was half a catty! As a result, the plan to aid Majifen was completely ruined! And what's even more tragic is that. Because two of the telegraphs on the three capital ships were destroyed, and the other antenna was faulty, the crucial telegram was sent half an hour late from one of the destroyers, while Magiffen was still delaying time with Tycho. …………。

"Make a decision early!" When Majifen received this late telegram, he only felt that his ears were wooden, and his blood was surging. Enraged, Majifen tore the telegram to shreds, and after calming down a little, he squeezed two words out of his teeth: "Retreat!" "This is a proper pit teammate, I said that I would defeat the German fleet, and I said that I would support my team, why did it change when it came to battle? How to get around now? 12 super dreadnoughts beat themselves, 9 super dreadnoughts and 1 dreadnought! However, this is obviously not the time to dwell on this issue, seeing that things can't be done, Majifen immediately commanded the fleet to slip away, but at this time, the two sides have entered the effective range of each other's artillery, and some of the other party's warships have a speed advantage, but you can't go if you want to!

Hipper's information was also sent to Tycho, and the U.S. fleet's accelerated withdrawal fell into Tycho's eyes. "Although things turned out a little boldly, the end result was good. We fought each other with absolute superiority...... This is exactly what we dream of! Tycho later commented on the situation at the Portuguese naval battle.

Maybe it was because the wind was suddenly strong, maybe because the smoke canisters had been used up too much just now, and by the time the American fleet wanted to run, the smoke screen was getting thinner and thinner..........

The Allied fleet is engaged in war with its opponent in almost the best of circumstances, and the American fleet has no choice but to fight to the death! The 9 15-inch guns on the Longxiang once again let out an earth-shattering roar, firing the first shot of the fleet's decisive battle! Nine 15-inch shells flew out of the muzzle at a speed of nearly 800 meters per second, whistling like meteorites from outside the sky towards the USS Tennessee, the main flagship of the US Navy! It was followed by the Caraccino, whose 10 guns also erupted fiery tongues 15 seconds after the opponent opened fire! In less than 30 seconds, the two battleships tilted almost 14 tons of ammunition at each other! Dozens of seconds later, the Tennessee, 17 kilometers away, was surrounded by high and low water columns!

"Fire!" The tide of battle has reached a critical juncture. Shortly after the Allied fleet opened fire, the American battleships also opened fire, and the flames from the slender 14L45 guns on the Tennessee even covered the entire hull. However, this is still a lot worse than the firepower of the other side, the projection volume of the two Allied battleships is almost twice that of Tennessee, although in order to coordinate the attack, the two sides deliberately controlled the rate of fire, but under such dense firepower, the Tennessee was a little unable to support the ......... in less than 20 minutes after the battle began.

"Our battleship was constantly struck with a hammer like a bell, and the opponent's gunnery was very exquisite, and it took only five minutes to complete the collapse, followed by shells from time to time, and the whole hull was shaken by violent armor and explosions, like a tuning fork. The loud sound of explosions and metal breaking kept ringing in my ears. Walking along the road, at any point, a cannonball will turn everything around it into pieces. I witnessed a captain trying to probe the damage at the front, only to be engulfed in a fireball that turned into a mist of blood with the five soldiers around him. Although the battle had just begun, I knew that the Tennessee would never return to the United States! "This is how a major met after the war.

The USS Tennessee is like a small ship struggling to move forward in a storm, but this storm is a storm of steel, and more than a dozen tons of ammunition continue to fly towards the Tennessee every minute, and in just 3 minutes, this pinnacle of the US Navy has been hit no less than 10 times! The 15-inch heavy bullet fired from 17 kilometers away caused a huge challenge to Tennessee's horizontal armor, the heavy armor deck made a tooth-aching cracking sound under the impact of the shells, the back plate behind the armor could not withstand such armor and cracked, countless fragments fell from the ceiling like shrapnel shells, from time to time there were unlucky people who were killed by these fragments, the lucky ones could also be rescued by their comrades, and the unlucky ones could only wait for death. …………。

Although the Caraccino could not penetrate the opponent's main armor at a long distance, it still turned the American battleship into a fireship with its high projection. The area above the upper deck, which was not protected by armor, was repeatedly hit by powerful high-explosive and semi-armor-piercing shells. Although the armor-piercing effect was poor, the arson effect was good, and items such as masts, rangefinders and antennas on the ship's surface suffered heavy losses under heavy attacks...... In less than half an hour, the Tennessee was no longer able to fulfill the task of a flagship, and in desperation, Magiffen had no choice but to abandon ship and board the battleship Oklahoma.

As soon as the two sides fought, the situation was one-sided, and Tycho played a huge role in the targeted deployment of the American fleet, which was held down by the Tennessee-class battleships as the mainstay. When two 15-inch shells landed on the horizontal armor on the upper part of the rear propeller shaft in the hull, Tennessee finally came to the last moment of his life, and the best place for the battleship to protect itself was naturally the armored box, and the propeller shaft was generally outside the armored box. After the Saipan incident. The main horizontal armor of the new American battleship could barely cope with the 15-inch heavy guns of the Chinese army, but the transmission shaft outside the armor box could not withstand such a blow, and the two shells penetrated the main horizontal armor one after another, one shot directly broke one of the rotating transmission shafts into two, and the other exploded under the waterline and caused a fire, causing a large amount of exhaust gases to be absorbed in the adjacent motor compartment and finally forced to shut down the ..........
