The cannonballs, with Han Lie's roar, rained down on the two battleships that had turned their bows and fled without their lives, chasing after them and setting off columns of rushing water with a roar.

The Texas and New York were one after the other, and they all worked hard, desperately breaking through the waves in the black smoke, struggling to escape.

Cannonballs exploded on the battleship, huge pieces of steel were blown off, holes appeared on the deck, and appeared in the stern of the ship.

In just two or three minutes, the battleship was full of smoke and fire. The violent explosion devastated the two battleships, one by one, like rags, tossing in the crest of the waves, but they still persistently moved forward, ignoring the falling shells in front of them.

On the battleship, all the American troops were terrified at this time. That explosion caused countless deaths, and filled the hearts of the living with despair.

They all knew that as long as one shell hit the engine room or ammunition room, they would not have to worry about survival, even if the opponent's armor-piercing shells could not penetrate the deep compartment, they would not be able to prevent the water from leaking everywhere and sinking.

They prayed in the explosion, they trembled in the loud noise. They were more devout than ever, praying to God to get the ship out of danger.

But just as they were about to collapse, no more shells fell in front of the battleship. The water column continued to rise on the sides of the hull, and the hull was also ravaged by shells.

"Their range is at its limit!!"

All the people on the Texas who could see the situation outside were immediately filled with hope. They don't have to die!

"Firefighting !!"

The shells barely landed on the deck, and their desire to survive instantly returned to their minds, shouting and dragging the pipes out of the cabin, and the water jets shot at the location where the flames had appeared, and began to save themselves.

Sure enough, the shells kept kicking up columns of water behind them. And farther and farther, apparently the range is at its limit.

The joy of the aftermath of the catastrophe filled everyone's heart, and they escaped from hell!

However, they soon realized that there was a much slower New York ship behind them, with shells. It was all concentrated on the New York, which seemed to them to be constantly flickering with fire, looming in the mist and smoke behind it.

Finished...... The New York is over......

Sadness rose up in all of them. The capsizing of the destroyers and cruisers made them angry, but if the New York was not spared, they would not only be angry, but more sad.

The New York was struggling, and the island was in ruins. If he survives this time, it will also be a set of major repairs for a few months before he can return to the sea.

It didn't stand a chance, though. Dense shells continued to explode on the ship, and the flames eventually continued to form patches, and the battleship slowly slowed down due to too much water, and in the loud noise, the hull could no longer be seen in the firelight.

"Sink that guy in the back! What a beating! ”

Han Lie flicked his fist in frustration. Yell ordered.

He let go of the battleship, which had already used a range of thirty-five kilometers, and he could not tell all the cards to the enemy. The battleship was so resistant to beating, which he did not expect. It is estimated that at least a dozen armor-piercing shells were hit, but they failed to blow up the battleship.

Therefore, he ordered the battleship to be spared, so as to avoid being unable to sink it even after 45 kilometers, so that the enemy knew the range of the shore defense artillery and could no longer shadow the Yankees. He's thinking about the two aircraft carriers that are far away. If the aircraft carrier is killed, the strength of the US military will plummet, and the Japanese aircraft carrier will be able to completely suppress the US military. Then, the naval battle between the Japanese and American forces that the captain said will not last long.

At this moment, the radar came with information at the right time.

Thunderbird One reports. The target stopped moving! ”

Can't run?

Han Lie's brows furrowed, and he immediately ordered: "High-explosive bomb, blow up this big guy for me!" ”

Following his orders, one high-explosive bomb after another flew towards the flaming New York. At this time, the American troops on the New York were no longer able to jump into the sea, and they could not even get out of the cabin under the licking of the tumbling flames. The only thing they wanted to do at this time was to shoot themselves in a furnace-like cabin, in a coffin without oxygen.

They were desperate, breathing heavily in their suffocating surroundings, trying to compete with the flames for pitiful oxygen. But it was in vain, and with the extreme lack of oxygen, the person gradually fell into a coma, and they would eventually be burned to ashes.

Rumble!

With a shocking bang, the New York exploded into a fiery red mushroom cloud, which rolled and soared into the sky.

"Stop shelling!"

Han Lie estimated that there would be three guns per person in a hundred guns, so he would be able to kill this anti-beating guy. He didn't know what kind of battleship it was, but he was already alert in his heart, such a battleship was really not something that 200 caliber guns could deal with, unless he concentrated his firepower at the beginning and went all out to kill these two heads, otherwise, it would be a waste of shells.

ran a battleship, it was he who miscalculated the armor withstanding of the enemy ships and did not concentrate fire on them. But at this time, it is too late for anything, so we can only see if there is a chance to deceive the aircraft carrier.

The escaped Texas extinguished all the flames, watching in horror at the smoke billowing in the distance, watching the huge fire that burst out of the smoke. They knew that the New York was over.

At this time, the aircraft carriers had already received a report, and they sent four seaplanes to try to detect the enemy under artillery fire.

Everyone was shocked by the strength of the opponent's firepower. The opponent is definitely not the indigenous people of Cuba, and this is a coastal defense with the world's leading level. This is a level that only the advance army once had in Shanghai shelling battleships, and it is actually seen here.

When the news reached Roosevelt, there was something that made him even angrier. The enemy's air defense was terrifying, four bomber groups totaling 500 planes, and when they flew to the front of Holguin, they were shot down in pieces at a high altitude, and in less than five minutes, only 11 planes escaped back, and all the rest were shot down, and the sky was full of parachutes.

For this reason, the U.S. troops also launched a frenzied charge, trying to return to the pilots who had fallen into the range of the enemy's position. That's worth more than an airplane. They also need to invest a lot of money to cultivate.

It is a pity that the more than 20,000 troops that attacked were devastated on a front that stretched for dozens of kilometers. They were swept down like wheat by the crossfire from the heights, and fell in pieces in the way of the charge.

They gathered more than 300 tanks and more than 400 artillery pieces to concentrate on one point, but they were destroyed by the opponent's artillery. The perfect coverage turned the tanks into piles of bonfires, and the artillery positions were directly detonated, making them realize that the enemy's artillery had a range of more than 20 kilometers and was directly bombarded into their depth.

What is even more infuriating is the dense artillery carpet bombardment, the enemy actually launched a counter-charge, followed by the artillery to break through the forward position, in just half an hour, swept away all the weapons, ammunition and other materials, and withdrew safely in the extension of artillery fire.

A large number of supplies and ammunition were seized, and more than 2,000 American troops were captured, and those political axe troops were also captured at least three or four thousand.

At this moment, Roosevelt completely understood that his opponent was a regular army that had always been strong, and it was definitely not as simple as the indigenous Cubans, but also a battle-hardened and well-armed army.

But what if you get it? The price they paid was too terrible. Battleships: four destroyers, four light cruisers, the sinking of a battleship, a battleship that could barely sail, hundreds of aircraft, more than 3,000 soldiers, countless ammunition and supplies, all became a clear price.

Could this be the advance army?

Roosevelt frowned and pondered.

He believed that the troops with such combat effectiveness were by no means small countries, and that they were obviously troops that had fought in successive battles and were still well-armed. And this kind of troops, only the advance army, which has become famous in the last two years.

According to intelligence, the advance army has gathered nearly a million troops to fight Soviet Russia on the banks of the Ural River in Central Asia, and has already crossed the Ural River.

India, the advance army also entered Bangladesh with a large army, and conquered the entire territory of Vietnam occupied by the Japanese army, and outflanked Thailand that was attacking the Japanese army, where are the troops crossing the ocean?

Could it be another force funded by that weapons company?

Roosevelt thought it was possible. Otherwise, the other side would not have possessed weapons that seemed to be more advanced than the air defense of the advance army, which was very similar to the British anti-aircraft shells that had just been obtained.

It seems that you have to be careful......

Roosevelt rubbed his forehead and pondered...... (To be continued......)
