On the battleship ''Montana'', Admiral Hasburn Kimmel,mander of the battleship formation of the US Navy, had a serious face. The fleet is heading south rapidly. Destroyers and light cruisers around are cruising.
Although these warships are equipped with sonar equipment. However, the speed of the battleship is too fast, and its own noise has already covered up everything. No matter how sensitive the sonar soldiers are with pierced ears, it is impossible to find the underwater target. Therefore, the entire fleet appeared cautious.
"Your Excellency, Commander, we are about to arrive at the battlefield. However, the situation of the second capital ship formation seems to be very bad!" Rear Admiral Kevill said with a telegram.
General Husband Kimmel nodded. He had read all these telegrams. It is precisely because of this that his expression is very ugly. In order to rescue the 2nd battleship formation, he even abandoned the 3rd battleship formation. However, they seem to be one step toote.
So far, the second capital ship formation has lost three capital ships. And they only sank one battleship of the German Navy. Such a price is really too great.
"It seems that our n this time is very difficult to seed. Our loss is too great!" Admiral Hasben Kimmel sighed. The three capital ships lost by the 2nd battleship formation, plus the 4 battleships destined to be lost by the 3rd capital ship formation. This has caused the US Navy''s capital ship formation to lose nearly half of itsbat effectiveness. The next battle will be even more unfavorable to them.
"General, when we arrive, we will definitely make the Germans pay a higher price! Our ''Montana-ss'' battleships are the most powerful battleships. The Germans are absolutely impossible to resist us." Major General Cowell said.
There is no doubt about the power of the ''Montana-ss'' battleships. However, Admiral Hasben Kimmel has no confidence in whether the situation can be reversed under the siege of many battleships of the German Navy.
"The old battleships of the Germans are also quite powerful, and they cannot be underestimated!" Admiral Hasben Kimmel said.
These "Montana-ss" battleships of the U.S. Navy also suffered a lot of torpedoes in previous battles. It''s just that, except for a slight drop in speed, it didn''t have much impact on the battleship''sbat effectiveness. But this time, they may have to face almost twice as many enemies as themselves. Whether the ''Montana-ss'' battleships canpete, even Admiral Haspen Kimmel has no confidence in winning.
On the battlefield, Lieutenant General Ingersoll,mander of the US Navy''s 2nd Battleship Formation, couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the 1st Battleship Formation approaching at high speed. The second capital ship formation with only three battleships left is already in jeopardy. If the first capital ship formation came a littleter, I''m afraid they would have to collect their bodies.
"General, American reinforcements areing." Major General Rudolph reminded.
"Order the ships to increase the distance between them and the Americans!" Lieutenant General Gerke ordered.
The engagement distance was shortened to 10,000 meters before, in order to quickly eliminate the second battleship formation of the US Navy. Now, the five "Montana-ss" battleships of the Americans have all rushed to the battlefield. If you continue to fight at this distance, it may not be very beneficial to the German fleet. The thick armor of the ''Montana-ss'' battleship, even at a distance of 10,000 meters, may be able to withstand the main guns of the German fleet. However, the capital ships of the German fleet do not have this capability. Therefore, it is better to continue to increase thebat distance, so that the hit rate of both sides will drop. At least, with a more advanced artillery sighting radar, the hit rate of the German fleet will be rtively higher.
"Yes, General." Major General Rudolph immediately issued the order.
The long battle line of the German fleet immediately began to turn.
"General, the Germans want to escape." Major General Cowell said.
"Order the fleet to turn around. The Germans killed our three battleships. It would be too whimsical to escape like this." Admiral Hasben Kimmel ordered.
With such a heavy fleet loss, he certainly would not let the German fleet leave. If possible, he hopes to make the German fleet pay a greater price for this with the powerfulbat effectiveness of the''Montana-ss'' battleships.
The three "Iowa-ss" battleships of the US Navy''s 2nd capital ship formation quickly followed.
On the current battlefield, eight battleships of the US Navy have be 15 battleships against the German Navy. The German navy still has an absolute advantage in terms of numbers. However, the ''Montana-ss'' battleship is too powerful. It is very difficult to say whether the capital ships of the German Navy can fight against them in naval battles. At least, in terms of discement, the capital ships of the German Navy are much smaller than the ''Montana ss''. In terms of armor thickness, it is also at a disadvantage.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The four triple-mounted 50-caliber 410mm main guns of the "Montana" battleship began to rage, and 12 huge shells weighing more than one ton roared and smashed at the gship "Kaiser" of the battleship formation of the German Navy''s home fleet. battleship.
The remaining four ''Montana-ss'' battleships also started shooting one after another.
All of a sudden, the five ''Montana-ss'' battleships that had just arrived on the battlefield showed extremely powerful attack power.
Although the "Montana-ss" battleships of the US military are very powerful, the German fleet did not show any weakness andunched a counterattack.
After reassigning the strike targets, except for the battleship "Sedlitz" at the end of the battle line, which is alone against the battleship "Missouri" of the US Navy, the other battleships are two against one. Lieutenant General Gerke, the Germanmander, hopes that by virtue of his numerical advantage, he can gain an advantage in this battle of battleships.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The fierce battle started again in this sea area. Both sides of the war started shooting frantically, trying to smash the shells on the opponent''s warship and sink it.
If this is during the day, the battle is estimated to be more intense. However, when fighting in a night environment, the line of sight is limited. In addition to judging the position of the enemy ship based on the muzzle me, it is more necessary to remove the guidance of the gun sight radar. It''s just that in this regard, the German Navy is obviously more dominant.
"Boom!"
A 410mm artillery shell fired from the battleship ''Caesar'' urately hit the No. A main turret on the front deck of the battleship ''Montana''. However, in the face of armor as thick as 571 mm, 410 mm shells are simply powerless.
