"Onward! Take out those heavy cruisers with yellow monkeys and let them know about me! We're amazing! "Rear Admiral Henry, captain of the battlecruiser South Dakota, and commander of the U.S. Navy's No. 1 Cruiser Detachment, ordered. Whether it is the 'South Dakota-class, the battle cruiser or the 'North Carolina-class', the battle cruiser has a displacement of up to 20,000 tons, and the main guns are all 5 mm naval guns, which are much stronger than the Chinese Navy's Jianghe-class and heavy cruisers!

Three 'South Dakota-class' battlecruisers in front, three 'North Carolina-class' battlecruisers in the rear, six battleships lined up in a battle line and rushed at high speed towards the six heavy cruisers of the Chinese Navy.

At this time, the five light cruisers of the 4th light cruiser formation of the US Navy, as well as the ten destroyers of the QYG ship-by-ship detachment of the British fleet, which had rushed to the battlefield but had not dared to participate in the battle, converged on these six battle cruisers. With these six battlecruisers here, they don't have to worry about being pressed and beaten by the six heavy cruisers of the Chinese Navy!

By the time the six battlecruisers of the U.S. Navy appeared, the six heavy cruisers of the Chinese Navy had already received the news that they had stopped the pursuit and sent a telegram to the forward formation, telling them to move closer to their side.

"Sir, six battlecruisers of the Yankees! That's not something we can deal with! "On the heavy cruiser Liaohe, a staff officer said to the captain, Colonel Zhang Yuan, who was also the commander of the formation of six heavy cruisers.

"Send a telegram to the flagship, report that we have encountered six battle cruisers of the Americans, and ask for reinforcements!" The six battle cruisers in the distance from Colonel Zhang Yuan spoke. Seeing that the ten light cruisers of the 4th Light Cruiser Detachment of the US Navy were about to be wiped out, but because of the appearance of the US Navy's battle cruisers, they had to stop the attack, which made Colonel Zhang Yuan quite regretful.

"Yes, sir! Are we going to retreat then? The staff officer asked. So far, the Chinese Navy has taken out five light cruisers and 10 destroyers of the U.S. Navy, which can be said to be victorious, and even if they retreat now, they will return victorious.

"You send a telegram to the flagship first, and I'll think about it!" After Colonel Zhang Yuan finished speaking, he picked up the binoculars and observed the six battle cruisers of the U.S. Navy. By this time, the six heavy cruisers of the Chinese Navy had completed their turn and began to sail south, but not at high speeds. And the six battle cruisers of the US Navy, after converging five light cruisers of the 4th light cruiser detachment and ten destroyers of the QYG ship-by-ship detachment, continued to pursue south at a speed of 20 knots.

Through the telescope, you can clearly see the battle cruiser that looks like a hill more than ten kilometers away. A series of parameters surfaced in Colonel Zhang Yuan's mind. The U.S. Navy's South Dakota class, a battle cruiser with a displacement of 22,000 tons, a maximum speed of 25 knots, and four twin 305 mm naval guns, 16 mm secondary guns, three 47 mm speed guns, and three 450 mm torpedo tubes. The waterline armor was 152 mm, the deck armor was 64 mm, the turret armor was 178 mm, and the bridge conning tower armor was 254 mm. 'North Carolina-class, battlecruisers with a displacement of 20,000 tons, a maximum speed of 25 knots, armament of 4 twin 305 mm guns, 16 mm secondary guns, 7 47 mm speed guns and five 450 mm torpedo tubes. Waterline armor NE> mm, deck armor is 64 mm, battery armor is 178 mm, and conning tower armor is 254 mm. Judging from the Chinese Navy's Jianghe-class, heavy cruisers, it was very difficult to penetrate the turret armor and bridge armor of the six battlecruisers of the U.S. Navy. But there really were no problems with the deck and the superstructure of the waterline and battlecruisers. Even if you can't sink them, you can at least hurt them. Of course, the armor of the river-class, heavy cruisers is also a key protection, and the armor of the turret and bridge is up to 5 mm thick, but the armor in some other secondary positions is very weak, and even in many places there is no armor. If you are hit by a battlecruiser of the US Navy, then you will really be seriously injured if you don't die!

At this time, if Colonel Zhang Yuan gave the order to retreat, this would undoubtedly be the best choice for the Chinese Navy. After all, although the heavy cruiser is powerful, if it fights the battlecruiser, the possibility of defeat is still very high. After all, the caliber of the main guns on heavy cruisers was too small to pose a mortal threat to battlecruisers. But if he wants to give up, he is a little unwilling in his heart!

"At a distance of 11,000 to 12,000 kilometers, are we sure of hitting the Yankees' battlecruisers?" Colonel Zhang Yuan called the gunners of the heavy cruiser Liaohe and asked.

"12,000 kilometers? Captain, the hit rate will not be very high. The gunslinger replied. Although the shè of the 210-mm gun! Up to 8 km, but less than 5 km in effect. And for the 5 kilometers away Fei BP target shè hit, the hit rate will be low scary. Even if it is shortened to 12,000 kilometers, the hit rate is not high. After all, the trajectory is affected by many factors, and if an artillery shell wants to hit a target at a distance of 12,000 kilometers, it has to rely on luck!

"So, will the Yankees' battlecruisers be able to hit us at a distance of 12,000 kilometers?" Colonel Zhang Yuan continued to ask.

"Captain, this is absolutely impossible! The level of training of the Americans is completely incomparable to ours, they want to hit us at a distance of 12,000 kilometers, and there is really a manifestation of God when it sets off! "Although the U.S. Navy has obtained a lot of advanced technology from Britain, it still cannot compare with China in the training of sailors. In addition, after years of development, the fire control system used by the Chinese Navy has also greatly improved, and the fire control system used by the US Navy is still relatively rudimentary, and it is much behind the Chinese side in terms of accuracy of shelling.

"That's enough! Order the ships and get ready for battle! This time, let's first see how powerful the Yankees' capital ship really is! Colonel Zhang Yuan said. Anyway, the Chinese Navy's Jianghe-class, heavy cruisers have a maximum speed of 31 knots, and the United States has a maximum speed of only 25 knots, even the US Navy's light cruisers and destroyers have a maximum speed of only a little more than 29 knots.

"Captain, you mean we're going to fight the American battlecruisers?" The gunner asked, with his mouth open, surprised.

"Of course, how? Don't dare? Colonel Zhang Yuan said with a smile.

"Don't dare? What's not to dare? With the power of our 210-mm naval guns, we will be able to inflict heavy damage on the Americans' battlecruisers, even if they cannot sink them! The gunslinger said immediately.

Under the orders of Colonel Zhang Yuan, the six heavy cruisers of the Chinese Navy began to turn around and close the distance between them and the six battle cruisers of the American Navy. At the same time, the three triple 210-mm guns on the battleship also began to move slowly, adjusting the direction of the shelling. This move by the Chinese Navy can shake the US Navy greatly!

"What are these yellow-skinned monkeys trying to do? Do they think that with six heavy cruisers they will be able to compare with our battle cruisers? "On the battlecruiser South Dakota, Rear Admiral Henry asked in surprise. In fact, the tonnage of the Chinese Navy's heavy cruisers is only 8,000 tons lighter than the US Navy's South Dakota-class, battlecruisers, and 6,000 tons lighter than the North Carolina-class, battlecruisers.

When it was determined that the six heavy cruisers of the Chinese Navy had really stopped fleeing and were ready to meet them, Rear Admiral Henry believed it.

"Crazy! These yellow-skinned monkeys are crazy! But that's fine, since you don't want to live anymore, then we'll send you to hell! Rear Admiral Henry laughed and said, as if the six battlecruisers he commanded would definitely be able to defeat the six heavy cruisers of the Chinese Navy!

At 11 o'clock in the morning, the distance between the two sides approached 12,000 kilometers, and at this time, Colonel Zhang Yuan, the captain of the heavy cruiser Liaohe, gave the order to open fire. At this distance, it is already the best attack distance on the premise of ensuring your own safety!

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "'Liaohe, three triple 210mm guns on the heavy cruiser fire!' The target of the Liaohe was none other than the U.S. Navy's battlecruiser South Dakota.

Twenty seconds later, the QBˉ shell fell into the sea on the left side of the battlecruiser South Dakota, and the nearest point of impact was more than three hundred meters away from the South Dakota!

Seeing this, Major General Henry laughed disdainfully. Needless to say, it is difficult for the heavy cruisers of the Chinese Navy to hit the battle cruisers of the US Navy at this distance, and even if they hit, 210 mm armor-piercing shells will not pose a mortal threat to the battle cruisers of the US Navy, and once the heavy cruisers of the Chinese Navy are hit by 5 mm shells of the battle cruisers of the US Navy, it will be miserable.

After the heavy cruiser 'Liaohe, the 'Hulan', after the heavy cruiser opened fire,

The heavy cruisers 'Hunhe,' the Daling River, the heavy cruisers,' the Hailar River, the heavy cruisers, and the 'Luanhe,' heavy cruisers also fired at the U.S. Navy's battlecruisers Indiana, battlecruisers, Montana, battlecruisers, North Carolina, battlecruisers, Maine, battlecruisers, and Washington, battlecruisers. It's just that Qi shè in the first round is also a little unsatisfactory, and the impact point is still far from the target!
