Major Johnson was replaced by David. Admiral Porter's order was taken aback, and the navy was not the cavalry of the army, so how could it launch a full assault?

And now is the time for the two fleets to "line up and shoot to kill", with both sides facing the enemy on the side in order to exert maximum firepower. At this time, whoever wants to put a good "queue to shoot" and not fight, but change it to a full-team assault, then first of all, the column must be changed to a horizontal formation, and the side side to meet the enemy is changed to the bow to meet the enemy!

Changing the broadside to meet the enemy with the bow of the ship to meet the enemy is equivalent to taking the initiative to send the enemy a T-shaped position, and then the enemy will be able to concentrate fire on one of the six United States-class ships of the Americans.

Even if the six United States-class ships launched a charge, with their slow speed, they would not necessarily be able to break through the enemy's column, and the enemy could completely rely on their own mobility to break down a large column into several small columns and continue to maneuver with the US Navy.

In addition, the killer feature of the Ming Navy is not only aircraft, they also use torpedoes with a range of more than 10,000 yards and a speed of more than 30 knots.

If the U.S. Navy's six United States-class and other large warships attack head-on, the enemy's torpedoes will be in full swing!

David. Potter seemed to hear Major Johnson's thoughts, and replied to himself, "I know the danger of the bow against the enemy. We may suffer heavy losses, but this is the only way out of our current predicament and at the same time inflict heavy losses on the enemy!

If we can't take advantage of the fact that we still have the strength to launch an attack, and wait for a few more rounds of enemy planes to blow up, and our United States level has eaten more than ten or twenty 100-kilogram armor-piercing bombs, will we still be able to walk?

While the enemy's 100 kg bombs may not be fatal to our United States, they can still make the United States lose a lot of secondary guns, and their fast destroyers may rush near our battleships to fire torpedoes!

In fact, the enemy's heroes have already reduced our combat effectiveness and do not pose much of a threat, and the real danger is their aircraft and destroyers' torpedoes!

Instead of waiting to be bombed, we should fight hard. If we can break up the enemy's array and drag them into the melee, we may be able to turn defeat into victory.

Even if that doesn't, we're turning westward, and a hundred nautical miles to the west is the coastline of the United States.

On the shores of the United States, even if it runs aground, we will be able to save the lives of some battleships and armored cruisers, as well as a large number of officers and men of the United States Navy......"

He spoke slowly, and he didn't know whether to say it to the naval officers around him, or to himself? In the end, as if he had made up his mind, he suddenly raised his voice and said to the officers around him, "That's it...... Before the enemy planes fly over us, complete the steering and launch the assault!

God will bless the United States of America, and God will bless each and every one of us! ”

"Yes, Commander!"

The surrounding U.S. Navy officers knew in their hearts that David. The approach proposed by Admiral Potter is the best way to think of at the moment.

At the very least, this would ensure that most of the ships could disengage from the ships of the combined Mexican-Texas fleet......

Up to now, those planes painted with the Texas Sanye Aoi mark Daming are just chasing the Rokujo United States-level bombing.

Obviously, their purpose is to "fry the big fish"...... So those cruisers of the second and third rank, destroyers, on the battlefield, are not in their eyes.

But there were dozens of ships, and each of them had at least one or two hundred officers and men of the American Navy, or four or five hundred! There are also 10,000 and 1,000 together, which is the vitality of the US Navy.

"Admiral, it looks like the Americans' fleet is about to turn into a sidewalk! They're going to charge."

Aboard the USS Bolívar, the flagship of the Royal Mexican Navy, the commander of the Combined Fleet, González. Tang Dynasty. Admiral Guerrero had already beaten the Americans to a great extent, and he was sweating profusely when he heard the shouts of his staff officers.

The only ones he could use to fight the Americans' 6 United States-class and 4 armored cruisers were 2 Hero-class and 2 Hero-class. The ratio of forces is 4:10, which is too great.

In particular, the United States class is clearly a ship that "specializes in heroes". The United States-grade 12-inch cannon is a great threat to the heroes! Although his two heroes now look like they can still carry it. But the reason why it can be withheld, in addition to the fact that the quality of the hero level is really first-class, is mainly because the exchange distance between the two sides is relatively far, and it has been above 10,000 meters.

At this distance, the accuracy of the 60 12-inch cannons of the Americans was a little problematic, and the penetration of the 12-inch shells decreased with the increase in distance.

But now, the Americans have finally decided to go out and attack with the hero's 280 mm caliber main gun!

But Admiral Glorey only had two hero-class ships in total, and all of them were wounded. One of them also had a turret scrapped, so there were only 14 280 mm cannons in total that could be pooled to exert their power...... It's good to be able to build a United States class with this bit of firepower.

There are still five ships left, and they still have to sink all his heroes?

This is a treasure that the Mexican Empire bought at great cost of silver, and if it were to sink the Americans today...... Isn't the backbone of the Royal Mexican Navy broken?

Thinking of this, Admiral Guerrero shouted loudly: "Quick, send a telegram to the Jiangyin...... Let Colonel Wang Wen immediately lead his ten Zhuangshi-class ships to rush over!

Tell Colonel Wang Wen that the Americans are going to work hard! Whether the future American continent will be determined by the Mexican Empire or the United States of America depends on this war......"

"Yes, Your Excellency."

"Your Excellency, the six United States-class ships of the Americans have completed their turn."

“…… They're about to make an impact! Your Excellency, what should we do? ”

Admiral Guerrero immediately ordered: "Order all the main guns of the Bolivar and the Emperor Agustín that can fire to the left are aligned...... The flagship of the Americans!

In addition, both the Bolivar and the Agustin have turned on the high-pressure ventilation for me, maintaining maximum horsepower, and always ready to maneuver! ”

"Yes......"

Admiral Gray then shouted, "Order all the guards and the public to prepare for a torpedo attack."

As soon as the enemy battleship entered within 8000 meters, a torpedo attack was launched...... Drown them with a sea of torpedoes! ”

"Yes, Admiral!"

After giving the order, Admiral Guerrero drew another cross on his chest and whispered: "God bless me, God bless the Mexican Empire!" ”

……

Strongman-class cruiser, Jiangyin.

Colonel Wang Wen couldn't help but laugh out loud as he held the telegram he had just received from the Bolivar. While laughing, he said to the people around him, "Mexicans are really imaginative...... They really think of themselves as an empire! ”

"Colonel, what do we do now?" A Ming Navy Lieutenant asked.

Wang Wen said with a smile: "Then you don't need to ask, of course you are rushing to the battlefield at full speed...... We want to bleed Americans as much as we can, and that's what we're here for!

Now, I order, all ships to speed up to the fastest, and our chance to make meritorious service has arrived!

I order, raise the blood-colored red flag, King Zhuge Wuzhong will bless us! ”

"Yes, Colonel!"

Just about 20 nautical miles from the battlefield, red flags fluttered on the masts of ten Warrior-class cruisers. All the strong men have accelerated to the fastest. The bow of the V-shaped ship breaks through the waves, crushes the waves, and sails straight to the battlefield!

At the same moment, Colonel Li Zhaoxun, who personally led the third attack wave of carrier-based aircraft to fly over the battlefield, also habitually roared: "Daming Naval Aviation...... Rush with me! ”

As the Ssangyong fighter he piloted roared, from a height of 2,000 meters and at an angle of 40 degrees, it launched a dive towards the battleship United States, and the second Atlantic naval battle finally ushered in a decisive moment!
