Chapter 415 Come on, come on, everyone! (Please subscribe, please vote)

Major Johnson was taken aback by Admiral David Porter's order. The Navy was not the Army's cavalry, so how could it launch an all-out assault?

Moreover, now is the time for the two fleets to engage in "queue to kill". Both sides are facing the enemy sideways in order to exert maximum firepower. At this time, who wants to ignore the good "queue to kill" and change it to "queue to kill"?

For a whole-team assault, the first thing to do is to change the column from the column to the horizontal, and change the side to meet the enemy from the side to the bow to meet the enemy!

Changing the side to meet the enemy from the bow is equivalent to proactively giving the enemy a T-shaped position. At that time, the enemy can concentrate its firepower on one of the six American United States-class ships.

Even if the six United States-class ships launch a charge, they may not be able to break through the enemy's column with their slow speed. The enemy can rely on its own mobility to break up a large column into several small columns and continue to deal with the U.S. Navy.

.

In addition, the Ming Navy's trump card 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 six United States-class warships of the U.S. Navy and other large warships bravely launch an attack, the enemy's torpedoes will have to show off their skills!

David Porter seemed to have heard what Major Johnson was thinking, and replied to himself: "I know the danger of the bow of the ship facing the enemy. We may suffer heavy losses, but this is the only way out of the current predicament. At the same time,

It can also inflict heavy damage on the enemy!

If we can't attack decisively while we still have the strength to launch an attack, and after the enemy's planes bomb a few more rounds, and each of our US-class bombs has been hit by more than ten or twenty 100 kilogram armor-piercing bombs, we can still

Can you leave?

Although the enemy's 100-kilogram bomb may not cause fatal damage to our United States-class, it can still cause the United States-class to lose a large number of secondary guns. By then, their fast destroyers may rush near our battleships to launch torpedoes!

In fact, the enemy's hero class has greatly reduced our combat effectiveness and does not pose much of a threat. The real danger is the torpedoes of their aircraft and destroyers!

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

Even if it doesn't work, if we turn now we are heading west, and a hundred nautical miles to the west is the coastline of the United States.

When we reach the coast of the United States, even if we are stranded, we can save the lives of some battleships and armored cruisers, as well as a large number of American naval officers and soldiers..."

He spoke very slowly, and he didn't know whether he was speaking to the naval officers around him or to himself. At the end of his speech, as if he had made up his mind, he suddenly raised his voice and said to the surrounding officers: "That's it.

Let’s complete the turn and launch an impact before the enemy’s fighter plane flies over us!

God will bless the United States of America, and God will bless each of us!"

"Yes, Commander!"

The surrounding U.S. naval officers knew clearly that the method proposed by Admiral David Porter was the best method currently imaginable.

This method can at least ensure that most of the ships can disengage from the ships of the Mexico-Texas Combined Fleet...

The battle has been going on so far, and those planes with the Ming dynasty mark painted on them are just chasing six United States-level bombs.

Obviously, their purpose is to "explode big fish"...so the second- and third-class cruisers and destroyers on the battlefield are not in their eyes.

But there are dozens of ships, and each ship has at least one to two hundred U.S. Navy officers and soldiers, as many as four to five hundred! Added together, there are tens of thousands to several thousand. This is the strength of the U.S. Navy.

"Admiral, the American fleet seems to be turning into a horizontal formation! They are about to launch a charge."

On the Mexican Royal Navy flagship Bolivar, the commander of the Combined Fleet, Admiral Gonzalez Don Guerrero, was already beaten to a pulp by the Americans. He heard a shout from his staff and was sweating profusely.

.

He only has 2 Hero-class ships and 2 Hero-class ships that can be used to fight against the Americans' 6 United States-class ships and 4 armored cruisers. The strength comparison is 4:10, which is really too disparate.

In particular, the United States class is clearly a ship that "specializes in fighting heroes." The 12-inch guns of the United States class are a great threat to the Hero class! Although its two Hero classes seem to be able to withstand it now, the reason why it can withstand it is other than

The quality of the hero class is indeed first-class, mainly because the distance between the two sides is relatively long, always above 10,000 meters.

At this distance, the accuracy of the Americans' 60 12-inch cannons is somewhat problematic, and the penetration power of the 12-inch shells also decreases as the distance increases.

But now, the Americans have finally decided to go all out and launch an attack with the heroic 280mm main gun!

But there are only two Hero-class ships in the hands of Admiral Glory, and both of them are wounded. One of them has a turret disabled, so there are only 14 280mm cannons in total that can be concentrated to exert their power.

...It's pretty good to be able to build a United States-class ship with this little firepower.

There are still five ships left, so why not sink all his heroes?

This is a treasure that the Mexican Empire spent a lot of silver to buy. If it was sunk by the Americans today... wouldn't the backbone of the Royal Navy of the Mexican Empire be broken?

Thinking of this, Admiral Guerrero shouted loudly: "Quick, send a telegram to Jiangyin... and ask Colonel Wang Wen to lead his ten warrior-class ships to come over immediately!

Tell Colonel Wang Wen that Americans must fight hard! Whether the American continent will be the Mexican Empire or the United States of America in the future will have the final say, it all depends on this battle..."

"Yes, Your Excellency, General."

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

"...They are about to attack! Your Excellency, what should we do?"

Admiral Guerrero immediately ordered: "Order all the main guns of the Bolivar and Imperator Agustín that can fire to the left to be aimed at...the American flagship!

In addition, both the Bolivar and the Agustín turned on the forced ventilation for me to maintain maximum horsepower and be ready to maneuver at any time!"

"yes……"

Admiral Glory then shouted: "Order all guards and princes to prepare for a torpedo attack.

Once the enemy battleships enter within 8,000 meters, launch a torpedo attack...swamp them with a sea of ​​torpedoes!"

"Yes, Admiral!"

After issuing the order, General Guerrero crossed himself again and whispered: "God bless me, God bless the Mexican Empire!"

…

Warrior-class cruiser, Jiangyin.

Colonel Wang Wen took the telegram he had just received from the Bolivar and couldn't help laughing. While laughing, he said to the people around him: "Mexicans really have imagination... They really

Think of yourself as an empire!”

"Colonel, what should we do now?" asked a Ming Navy lieutenant colonel.

Wang Wen smiled and said: "No need to ask, of course we rush to the battlefield at full speed... We want to bleed the Americans as much as possible, and this is the purpose of our coming to the Atlantic Ocean!

Now, I order all ships to accelerate as fast as possible. Our chance to make a contribution is here!

I order the bloody red flag to be raised, King Zhuge Wu Zhong will protect us!"

"Yes, Colonel!"

On the Atlantic Ocean about 20 nautical miles away from the battlefield, red flags were flying on the masts of ten Warrior-class second-class cruisers. All Warrior-class cruisers accelerated as fast as they could. The V-shaped bow broke through the waves, smashed into the waves, and stood straight.

Heading 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 roared out of habit: "The Ming Navy Air Force... charge me!"

As the Ssangyong fighter jet he piloted roared and dived towards the USS United States battleship from an altitude of two thousand meters at an angle of 40 degrees, the Second Atlantic Battle finally ushered in a decisive moment!
Chapter completed!
