14:40.

Panama Bay, 310 kilometers off the coast, the heavy aircraft carrier Xiqin.

Fang Lan looked up at the flagship flag fluttering on the top of the ship island, an hour ago, after the commander of the season took the fleet staff to board the Xiqin, this flag was raised, seeing the flag, all the officers and men of the Xiqin were full of pride, except for the temporary task force that used aircraft carriers to fight the enemy, this was the first time that the three major fleets of the empire used aircraft carriers as flagships, which means that the aircraft carrier, which has only been on display for less than half a year, has conquered everyone and has become the core force of the fleet.

Although they had not yet received orders, the deck was already busy, and after the two dragon's teeth with overlapping wings were slowly lifted onto the deck by the elevator, the air crew soldiers immediately pushed them to the stern take-off assembly point, and then slowly stuffed the thick "fish bones" that had been prepared into the belly of the aircraft with a cart.

The Dongqi not far away is relatively idle, because the deck needs to be freed up for the Hornet combat/reconnaissance aircraft to take off and land, so it can only work in a small area around the ship's island.

Standing in the special command center on the second floor of the island that was opened for the first time, after seeing the two bumblebees that had come back from reconnaissance landing smoothly, Ji Weishan retracted his gaze: "Haven't you found the main force of the United States yet?" ”

"Nope." Lin Tai once shook his head: "The seaplane sent by the light patrol has searched the depths of Panama Bay, and it has not found Andrew's main shadow, will it." ”

"Nope! I'm sure he's nearby! ”

Ji Weishan said affirmatively: "I saw Andrew when I visited the United States a few years ago, he is not the kind of person who hesitates, if he doesn't want to fight, he won't come out at all, since he comes out, he must be determined to fight this battle, and Kaishi, don't forget, Panama's strategic location is too important, even if he doesn't want to fight, the U.S. political axe and the Admiralty will force him to fight!" ”

"That's right, dare to use four of the latest Nevada-class as bait to test our hole cards, and don't use radio contact when it's about to start, this person not only has the courage but also the ability to forbear."

"Therefore, we must take this opportunity to kill him, otherwise if we let him grow stronger, it will be a disaster sooner or later!" Ji Weishan's eyes were cold, he walked to the chart, looked at it for a while, and asked, "Have you searched Sevaco Island and Montijo Bay?" ”

"Searched."

"Where's Hicaron?"

"I've searched it too."

As the locations that can be hidden are eliminated, Ji Weishan also feels that his head is big for a while, where is Andrew with the main force? Is he really stupid enough to think that four Nevada can block four Hebei-class?

"Sir, the general of the 11th fleet reports that there are still 20 minutes to go to war, do you want to send ships?"

"Don't," Ji Weishan interrupted the staff officer and sneered: "One Mayo, four Nevadas, if I can't even settle this point, then I'm really going to be blind." ”

"Tell Fang Jin, pester him, don't give him a chance to leave the battlefield!"

"Let the Jiang Province and the Dongmeng (Guam-class) accelerate to the north, the Yanjing and Yucheng continue to protect the transport fleet, and send another reconnaissance squadron to fly north along the coast of Panama, pay attention to see if there is any seaplane contact."

After the staff officer left with Ji Weishan's order, Lin Taizeng leaned forward, his hands propped up on the chart table, and after recalling Ji Weishan's series of orders just now, his eyes lit up: "Huishan, do you think Andrew is still outside the scope of our investigation?" ”

"Is there any explanation for that?" Ji Weishan nodded: "It's not been a day or two since our plane appeared, and the Americans can't make it but at least they can calculate the approximate combat radius, so I guess he didn't enter the reconnaissance circle at all, and it's already three o'clock, so I will definitely let Mayo fight and then feign retreat."

The Nevada class has a speed of 20 knots, and the Hebei class is 25 knots, as long as it is blocked by cruisers and destroyers, then the 11 fleet will have to catch up for at least two hours, so it will inevitably drag into a night battle, and at that time even if we bring planes, we will lose all our efforts! ”

Walking to the platform, the silver fuselage covered with the deck shimmered, looking at the group of aircraft on standby, Ji Weishan sneered: "Andrew is good, he knows his disadvantages, so he would rather take the risk of fighting a night battle that he may not necessarily win, rather than a decisive battle easily, but his sadness is that he thinks too highly of Mayo, or that there is no one available at all, as long as the 11th fleet hurts Mayo, and we don't show up for a long time, then he has to show his original form!" ”

"Tell Fang Jin to fight to the death!" ——

"Sir."

After Tan Haodong, an operational staff officer who had been incorporated into the battleship formation before leaving, handed the telegram to Fang Jin, the corner of his eye involuntarily glanced out, and the thick smoke rising into the sky in the distance told him that the four Nevada-class battleships of the US Pacific Fleet were rapidly approaching.

"How." Fang Jin squinted at Tan Haodong and said with a smile: "Nervous? ”

"Sort of." Tan Haodong nodded unexpectedly, not hiding his nervousness at all, for them, the new generation of officers, the exciting, manic and dangerous naval artillery duel was both anticipatory and nervous.

"It's okay, it's the same as looking for a woman for the first time." Fang Jin patted him on the shoulder: "It's very enjoyable." ”

“。” Tan Haodong finally knew why everyone said that Captain Fang was "the destroyer of all graces." "Well, what an exciting battleship showdown came to his mouth.

"Left, fifteen degrees!" Fang Jin quickly turned his head: "Report the distance." ”

"28,000 meters!"

"Is there an order for shelling?"

"Scouting speculates that the USS Oklahoma may be the flagship, so my Hebei vs. Oklahoma, Henan vs. Nevada, Hunan vs. Washington, and Hubei vs. Wisconsin." The gunners shouted and reported the order of the shelling arranged after the reconnaissance.

"Cancel." Fang Jin waved his hand: "The first ten rounds are all aimed at the Oklahoma!" ”

"Yes."

After the staff officer turned around and adjusted the order over the phone, Tan Haodong quietly walked to his side and asked, "Sir, what if it's wrong?" And in this way, won't they have to be beaten for ten minutes in vain? I've studied the Nevada level, and I've basically copied us."

"Haodong." Fang Jin interrupted his words and said with a smile: "There is no case in war, imitation will never get the essence, and besides, the American GIs on the opposite side are all young chicks just like you." ”

"Sir."

When the black lines on Tan Haodong's forehead crawled wildly, and all the officers around him held back the corners of their mouths, the shouts sounded again.

"26,000 meters!"

In the navigation staff report again, even Tan Haodong, who was hit, straightened up suddenly, grabbed the handrail beside him with his right hand, and subconsciously took a step forward, when he looked up at the navigation clock, his heartbeat continued to tremble with the seconds, but suddenly found that the air in the command tower froze in an instant, and the sharp edge was biting.

Whether it was Fang Jin, who was laughing and scolding the cynical and known as the "elegant destroyer", or the staff officer who laughed at him just now, even the guards in the bridge all straightened their waists, and their eyes showed a kind of fanaticism!

In an instant, Tan Haodong even had a feeling that these soldiers who had been bragging and farting since they set sail and chatting about the world had suddenly turned into lions, especially the head lion who led them in front of them.

"Haodong, do you know why the commander will assign you to our 11th fleet before departure?" Fang Jin took his hand, and at this moment, his emaciated back was extremely handsome.

Turning his head, without waiting for an answer, Fang Jin had already smiled and said: "Many people still don't understand what a battleship is, and we don't want to explain it, although I know that these big guys will grow old after the war, but we still hope that young people like you can understand the sound of naval guns and let it be passed on from generation to generation!" ”

Without waiting for Tan Haodong to understand the meaning of these words, a burst of shouts violently echoed in the command tower: "Flag language, come to a duel, United States!" ”

Tan Haodong felt as if he couldn't think anymore, the calculations that he was usually proud of, the delicacy could not be brought into play at this moment, and the people in the rear staff could never understand the ambitions of the front-line soldiers!

The provocative flag signal instantly ignited the tyranny in the hearts of the soldiers, the eyes locked the enemy, the phone was put to the ear, the finger was pressed on the launch button, and the cold cannonball was waiting to be unsheathed and the dragon groaned!

"25000m"

When Tan Haodong looked up to look at the navigation clock again, a piercing electric sound suddenly penetrated into his ears, and then he felt that his head was about to explode, and the hair on his body suddenly stood up, and the huge hull of 33,500 tons under his feet was like a sampan that was sent to the crest of the wave by a storm, and the thick steel made a squeaky tooth sore sound.

Outside the porthole, the blazing huge cannon sparks reflected the red cheeks, the air torn by the shells, and the thick smoke and smoke penetrated into the body from all directions.

At that moment, he felt that something in his body was ignited, and the hot blood was like an electric current crawling all over his body, rushing into his body, rushing into his brain, and finally squeezing his brain and nasal cavity.

He understood that Fang Jin, the old navy people, were using the most unique method to guide young people like him, because they understood that this might be the last big battle for the old navy people, so they hoped that after they got old, someone would understand the whistling of naval guns and the persistence in the hearts of the navy people!

The sea needs generations of guardians!

"Sir!"

Tan Haodong can no longer control himself, at this moment, he doesn't want to be a bystander, he needs to devote himself more intuitively. "Go ahead, take a closer look." Fang Jin raised his hand and didn't look back, but everyone could clearly feel the smile on the corner of his mouth.

In the hot dust and smoke, Tan Haodong quickly rushed along the gangway to the compass bridge with a higher and better position, and when the ball of cannon sparks flashed again in front of him, he felt that the whole world had exploded, and the whistling cannon muzzle wind continued to expand, and even crushed the sea water on the side of the ship, forming four huge nest-like turbulences.

The wide hull was constantly pushed and shaken, and the engine, bursting out with a low hissing and scorching cannonballs, roared towards the enemy in the distance, and only in the seventh round, when two dazzling fire balls rose from afar, the entire fleet was set on fire!

At that moment, there was only one voice in heaven and earth!

That's a high-pitched dragon moan!

"Fight to the death!"
