Opening game, American Tycoon

A sudden air strike lasted for two full hours, from the first wave of air strikes to the second wave of air strikes.

More than [-] aircraft successively carried out air strikes on the combined British and American fleet.By the end of the air raid, nine battleships were hit, and the Royal Navy's "Glorious" aircraft carrier sank into the sea after being hit by only one torpedo—an aircraft carrier transformed from a merchant ship is simply unbearable in a naval battle One hit doesn't even have any survivability.

The Royal Navy's Prince George, Glory, Jupiter, Repulse, and Revenge were hit by torpedoes, and the US Navy's New Mexico, Montana, Arkansas, and Kentucky...

Although only four of them were sunk, the other warships benefited from good damage control and were still floating tenaciously, but they were just floating on the sea.

"The New Mexico, the Kentucky have lost all power, and the Prince George, as well as the Jupiter..."

Without motivation, is it dragging them back?
Looking at the sea billowing in smoke, Ma Han frowned.

In the end, he glanced at the sky full of bitterness, and there were more than a dozen planes circling in the sky, which were the last air power in his hands.

Their appearance changed everything...

"Perhaps, battleships have been eliminated..."

Just when Mahan ordered the rescue of the officers and soldiers who fell into the water, the imperial pilots who had completed the attack flew northward under the guidance of the guide plane, where the Imperial Atlantic Fleet was approaching the US military little by little.

"They're back!"

After hearing the report from his subordinates, Cheng Bichen said.

"Order the aircraft carrier formation to vacate the deck. After the aircraft of the 23rd Wing landed, they directly pushed the aircraft into the sea. Now, it's our turn..."

When he was talking, his expression was quite relaxed. Finally, after two weakenings, the United Fleet had lost half of its warships.

"Counsel Qiu, you don't seem very happy!"

The sudden question made Qiu Zhenzhi stunned for a moment, and then he said.

"Sir, I think it is necessary for us to carry out a second wave of air assaults to weaken their strength as much as possible before the battle."

Facing Qiu Zhenzhi's suggestion, Cheng Bichen said directly.

"Now we are only 60 nautical miles away from them. They will soon discover our existence. In the next few hours, we will definitely carry out artillery battles with capital ships. At this time, what the air force needs is to rest... "

Casting his gaze into the distance, Cheng Bichen pondered for a moment, then said.

"At the last moment of the artillery battle, when they begin to collapse, I hope that our air force can devote its fullest energy to it. The blow at that time will be the most fatal. Now, it is our turn for the naval guns to show off... …”

When the words fell, Cheng Bichen turned his gaze forward. His eyes were fixed on the two twin 380mm naval guns in front of the command tower. He stared at them. For some reason, an idea came to his mind.

Perhaps, this is the last swan song of the giant cannon.

At this moment, an air cover fleet escorting a group of planes that had just returned appeared in his sight.

Yes, the future is the era of aircraft carriers!

In this case, let it maximize its power when it is about to decline!

Two hours later, Mahan, who was commanding the United Fleet to sail northward with difficulty, received the expected bad news.

"Found in multiple smoke plumes, it is the main force of the Imperial Navy."

"What should come will always come!"

Ma Han nodded, and then said to himself.

"Finally... the battleship's cannon is the final decision to win!"

At [-]:[-] in the morning, the sailors of Britain and the United States finally saw the Imperial Navy Fleet, which appeared on the sea ten nautical miles away.

Ten minutes later, at a distance of 10 meters, the Imperial Navy opened fire first. Ma Han has long been known for the Imperial Navy's range artillery skills. He fired the artillery in the Imperial Navy, with a dignified expression, just silently in his heart. Counting the time.

Soon, he heard a familiar voice in the air, which was very familiar.

What is this sound like the roar of a locomotive?
This is the sound of large-caliber shells piercing the sky.

It's about to fall!

When this thought came to Ma Han's mind, a series of dull explosions had already been heard. Looking in the direction of the explosion, this kind of spectacular scene that has not been seen for many years, but always fascinated people, appeared again. before his eyes.

Most of the fleet has been completely covered by a row of tall water columns, thick water columns with a diameter of more than ten meters rose into the air, and their height even surpassed the mast towers of battleships.

The armored cruiser "HMS Derry" of the Royal Navy was right in the center of this rising water column, and several water columns even completely surrounded him, so that the outside world could not see what happened on it.

At this moment, a dazzling flash of light suddenly came out of the rising water column, and then a huge fireball blasted away the water column surrounding the "Derry".A shell accurately hit the position between the three chimneys in the center, and the chimney was blown into the sky in an instant. In the violent explosion, a chimney could even be seen flying in the air, and the chimney weighing more than ten tons was blasted It became a meteor and flew hundreds of feet away before landing in the sea.

"It can't be a fifteen-inch cannon..."

While being surprised, Ma Han did not forget his duty, and he issued a series of orders one after another.

Subsequently, the counterattack of the United Kingdom and the United States began. Unlike the previous torpedo boat attack and air strikes, when they were almost unable to retaliate, their counterattack was rapid. Although the imperial navy's long-range artillery was very sophisticated, in the past period Here, they are also constantly strengthening long-range bombardment.

"Gentlemen, America looks forward to our victory..."

The gunnery officer in the turret on the battleship Indiana shouted sharply.At this time, the artillery of the combined fleet began to fire salvos one by one.Then, the gunner's door in the turret is a series of repeated operations: open the breech block, load a new shell and push it in with a push rod, load the charge bag, and then the breech block is slammed shut again.

"The turret artillery is ready!"

"The turret is ready!"

Then there was another salvo, and the gunners in the turret shouted excitedly.Suddenly, there was a flash of light in the turret, followed by a loud noise, they were shaken to this side, some gunners even suffered eardrum bleeding, and more people were knocked down to the ground.

"My God, we got hit."

Some gunners shouted in terror,

"Don't worry about it, aren't we still standing here?"

The gunnery officer who supported his things and stood up gave a loud order.

"Hurry up, let the damn Daming devils see how powerful we are!"

Immediately afterwards, several more shells hit the battleship Indiana, and thick smoke instantly filled the entire turret. The gunners who had just stood up quickly took out the gas masks next to their belts and put them on, and continued their previous work, leveling the main gun.Reload and fire again.

Naval battles have always been like this - all they need is to do their duty, fulfill their responsibilities, load, aim, fire, and then leave everything to God.
