"Bastard! How could it be like this? "On the battlecruiser 'South Dakota', Rear Admiral Henry looked at the sinking battlecruiser 'Montana' and wept a little without tears. It was hard to wait for the 1st battlecruiser detachment to come, but the despicable and shameless Chinese seized on this final plan and poured all their firepower on the battlecruiser 'Montana'. The battlecruiser 'Montana' was besieged by six enemy ships and was eventually sunk. Now, the 2nd Battlecruiser Detachment of the US Navy is left with only the battlecruisers USS South Dakota and the battlecruiser USS Louisiana. The other four battlecruisers were sunk!

In this fierce naval battle, the losses paid by the Chinese Navy were minimal, only the battleship 'Wei Qing' was slightly damaged, and the other battleships were only slightly damaged, which did not affect the continuation of the battle at all! The naval battle had just begun, and the US Navy had lost 4 capital ships, while the Chinese Navy remained unscathed. Such a result is difficult for the US Navy to accept!

"General, the Chinese are catching up! What do we do now? An officer asked. After more than half an hour of fierce fighting, the 2nd Battle Cruiser Detachment of the US Navy lost most of its warships, which made these officers and men of the US Navy, who originally had extremely high fighting spirits, suddenly hit deeply again!

"Move closer to General Paulson at once! In addition, he retreated! We now have only six battlecruisers left, and they are no match for the Chinese at all! Major General Henry said without hesitation. Although the 1st battlecruiser detachment arrived. But Rear Admiral Henry did not think that they would have the strength to confront the Chinese Navy! Naval battles before it. has made him deeply perceive the gap with the Chinese Navy!

Merely. Rear Admiral Paulson, commander of the 1st Battle Cruiser Detachment of the US Navy, did not adopt Rear Admiral Henry's proposal!

"Humph! Henry, is that guy stupid by the Chinese? Of their six battle cruisers, there are still four left that were beaten by the Chinese, which is simply a shame! In addition, he actually built yì I retreat, was he really frightened by the Chinese? ”。 Major General Paulson said disdainfully. As commanders of two battle cruiser detachments of the U.S. Navy, Rear Admiral Paulson and Rear Admiral Henry also competed with each other. Although the 1st Battlecruiser Detachment had two fewer ships than the 2nd Battlecruiser Detachment. But Rear Admiral Paulson always thought that the 1st Battlecruiser Detachment was even more powerful! Because, the 4 battleships of the 1st Battlecruiser Detachment are all 'Colorado-class' battlecruisers, which are much more powerful than the 'South Dakota-class' battlecruisers and 'North Carolina-class' battlecruisers of the 2nd Battlecruiser Detachment!

"Sue sù, Henry, follow us! Let them see how we teach those yellow-skinned monkeys! Major General Paulson said in high spirits. As if at this moment he had already defeated Henry!

Rear Admiral Henry had no choice but to order the remaining two battlecruisers to turn around, follow behind the 1st Battlecruiser Detachment, and engage the six 'Hanshin-class' fast battleships of the Chinese Navy once again. Fortunately, he got a good news, the main force of the combined fleet of the United States and Britain Navy is growing rapidly. At most, there is more than half an hour to get to the battlefield! When the time comes, wait until the main fleet arrives. Don't be afraid of those six battleships of the Chinese Navy!

The U.S. Navy's 'Colorado-class' battlecruisers are imitations of the British Navy's 'Lion-class' battlecruisers, with a displacement of 30,000 tons, a maximum speed of 27.5 knots, and four twin 343-mm main guns, 16 100-mm secondary guns, and four 533-mm heavy torpedo barrels. In terms of armor, the 'Colorado-class' battlecruisers were also much tougher than the previous two class battlecruisers of the US Navy, with waterline armor up to 229 mm thick, deck armor 64 mm, turret armor 229 mm, and bridge armor 254 mm. Of course, such protection capabilities still cannot be compared with real battleships, and they cannot be compared with the 'Hanxin-class' fast battleships of the Chinese Navy! Rear Admiral Paulson's unwarranted self-confidence brought the 1st Battlecruiser Detachment of the US Navy into a desperate situation!

Under the orders of Rear Admiral Paulson, the remaining two battle cruisers of the 1st Battlecruiser Detachment and the 2nd Battlecruiser Detachment of the US Navy formed a battle line and took the initiative to move closer to the six 'Hanxin-class' fast battleships of the Chinese Navy, wanting to have a duel!

"How? Did those Yankees get their heads caught in the door? At this time, you still dare to fight us, are you really not afraid of death? ”。 Brigadier General Gechūn Lin said in surprise. He had expected that the Americans would see the tragic sight of the 2nd Battle Cruiser Detachment and immediately flee. I didn't expect the Americans to dare to take the initiative to attack. However, this is exactly what he wants, if he can achieve more results when the carrier-based aircraft of the Navy aircraft carrier attack, this is also very beneficial for him personally!

"Order the ships to be combat-ready, assign targets!" Brigadier General Gechūn Lin ordered! Since the Americans are looking for death themselves, then give them a ride!

'Han Xin' vs. 'Colorado', 'Wei Qing' vs. 'Maryland', 'Huo Qu' vs. 'Georgia', 'Li Guang' vs. 'West Virginia', 'Li Ling' vs. 'South Dakota', 'Ban Chao' vs. 'Louisiana'! The fierce battle once again unfolded on the sea, and the two sides opened fire frantically at a distance of 10,000 meters! The U.S. Navy wants to shorten the distance of engagement, but the Chinese fleet will not do what they want, no matter how the U.S. Navy turns to accelerate, etc., and always controls the engagement distance between the two sides at a distance of 10,000 meters!

The U.S. Navy's 'Colorado-class' battlecruisers are also very ferocious, although they only have one less main gun than the Chinese Navy's 'Hanxin-class' fast battleships, but the 343-mm main gun can also pose a lethal threat to the 'Hanxin-class' battleships. Fortunately, the accuracy of the US Navy's shelling was as bad as ever, and at a distance of 10,000 meters, it was quite difficult for them to hit the Chinese Navy's 'Han Shin-class' battleship!

At a time when the Chinese Navy's 'Han Shin-class' fast battleships were fighting fiercely with the U.S. Navy's battle cruisers and had achieved great results. The main force of the Chinese Navy is also preparing to launch a deadly attack on the US Navy!

"Commander! A telegram came from the front, and the 1st battlecruiser detachment of the Americans appeared! It is expected that the main fleet of the Americans is not far north of the battlefield! "Lieutenant General Hai Zhengsheng reported to Marshal Li Dingxin!

"Hmmm! Now that the main forces of the Americans have appeared, then we don't have to wait any longer! Send a telegram to General Chen Yuankun asking the aircraft carrier group to send seaplanes to reconnoiter the direction of the main fleet of the US Navy. Once the target is discovered, the carrier-based aircraft immediately launch an attack and strive to annihilate the main fleet of the US and British navies before dark! Marshal Li Dingxin immediately gave the order! It's just over one o'clock in the afternoon, and it's six hours before it gets dark. If the distance between the two sides is not far, there are enough carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carrier formation to launch two or three attacks. It is estimated that only two attacks by hundreds of carrier-based aircraft will be able to take out the main force of the combined fleet of the US and British Navy, and even if there are some capital ships left, the main fleet of the Chinese Navy's expeditionary fleet can kill all these fish that have slipped through the net!

"Okay, Marshal!" Lieutenant General Hai Zhengsheng replied excitedly. He also knows that the deadliest blow to the combined fleet of the US-British Navy is about to begin! This is also the first time that an aircraft carrier has landed on the stage of naval warfare, and it will show unparalleled combat effectiveness and completely end the era of battleships!

Thirty kilometers south of the sea where the main fleet of the Chinese Navy's expeditionary fleet is located, four huge warships are being defended in the middle by more than a dozen light cruisers, destroyers and frigates. Unlike battleships, these battleships did not have tall masts or huge naval guns, but only flat decks with planes on them. This is the secret weapon of the Chinese Navy in this naval battle, the four 'Emeishan-class' aircraft carriers. At this time, the deck is very busy, and the ground crew is inspecting each carrier-based aircraft, refueling and reloading ammunition, etc. After the exchange of fire between the Chinese Navy and the combined fleet of the United States and the United Kingdom began, the aircraft carrier fleet began to prepare. After receiving the combat order, it is necessary to immediately take off the fighter plane and strike at the main force of the combined fleet of the United States and the British Navy!

"General, the commander's telegram! Let's take off seaplanes to reconnoiter the sea of eighty to one hundred and fifty kilometers to the north! Most likely, the main forces of the combined fleet of the US-British Navy are nearby! "A staff officer handed the telegram to Lieutenant General Chen Yuankun!

"Hmmm! Order the seaplane to take off! Notify us as soon as the combined fleet of the United States and the British Navy is discovered! Lieutenant General Chen Yuankun said with some excitement. He knew that as soon as the traces of the combined fleet of the United States and the British Navy were discovered, it would be time for carrier-based aircraft to perform!

Each aircraft carrier carried 8 seaplanes on board. This time, Lieutenant General Chen Yuankun directly dispatched all the seaplanes.

Half an hour later, Vice Admiral Chen Yuankun received a telegram from seaplane No. 207 that they had discovered the main force of the combined fleet of the United States and British Navy in the sea area 95 kilometers northwest of them. According to visual observations, there are also at least thirty capital ships!

"Order the carrier-based aircraft of each ship to take off immediately and prepare to attack the enemy!" Lieutenant General Chen Yuankun immediately ordered!

At 1:38 p.m., the first carrier-based aircraft took off from the aircraft carrier 'Emeishan'! (To be continued......)
