Chapter 2612: Open

"Haha." Su Xiong smiled without saying a word. In fact, he and Betty are very clear that the decisive factor in determining the outcome of the US-Japan Pacific War is not all the performance on the battlefield! It is the struggle and choice of the major powers in the world. It should be noted that the United States of America in this era still has no reliable friends. The British cannot be close to the United States under the threat of reality. The French have tended to mix with the Germans. Russia is now a pot of porridge internally, Italy. His opinions are not important at all. Austria-Hungary said that it stands with the Germans, so good, are Germany and the United States allies? It’s just what you need!

Any world hegemon is lonely before he sits on the throne of the king. Even if Americans have won a war in history, Britain and France still ruthlessly exclude Americans who can be regarded as saviors! The opinion of the United States in the League of Nations after the war is not important. This was true for Americans in history, but it is also true now!

And more importantly, whether it is Germany, Austria, Britain, France, Italy, etc., they all hope that the US-Japan war will continue! The longer the fight, the better! Really think that the Japanese industry can't support the fleet and the Americans will win? too young too simple! How many warships in Europe are waiting to be dealt with? Can't you see? And if there are some loopholes in the performance of the US fleet this time, then some countries that were originally cautious might not be able to hold back, right? After all, no one will go with money! Moreover, no one is afraid of a country where the blade in hand is not that sharp!

"Look, Nimitz, in fact, in the eyes of some senior people, the United States Navy at this time is not as powerful as you think." Su Xiong said meaningfully.

And at this moment, the two fleets of the United States and Japan have already collided fiercely. Since the war, the first collision of the U.S. and Japan's super fearless main fleet has kicked off! At the beginning of the battle, the Benson fleet was full of offensiveness! Under the leadership of three Omaha-class light cruisers, three squadrons, a total of more than 20 destroyers, began to strike the Japanese by lightning, and at the same time! The American battleships also opened fire!

"Hi... The Americans are really powerful." Looking at the vast number of destroyers following the three light cruisers in the distance, Shigeru Taro Yoshimatsu felt a little pain in his head! In an instant, he had the plan to retreat, after all, it is impossible to say that night battles are not afraid of destroyers! Looking at the American lightning fleet in the distance, I am afraid that it is carrying hundreds of torpedoes, right?

Although troublesome, the Japanese fleet was able to stabilize its position. Under the leadership of the two light cruisers, a dozen Japanese destroyers formed the first direction, and the dense secondary battery array of 9 Japanese fast battleships formed The second line of defense! The intensive rain of hundreds of medium-caliber artillery is enough to discourage any lightning fleet! However, the Americans did not hesitate to plunge into it!

The three Omaha-class light cruisers took the lead. They attacked the Japanese fleet like sharp spearheads. On the opposite side, the remaining two Kuma-class light cruisers did not hesitate. , Hit the distance of less than 1800 meters! Countless high-explosive bombs criss-crossed on the sea, and groups of deadly flames burst on the battleship!

After all, the Omaha-class light cruisers have an advantage in displacement and firepower. The sidestring firepower of eight 6-inch guns completely suppressed the Kuma-class light cruisers in close combat, and the quantitative advantage of 3 on 2 gave the Americans the upper hand! Under the attack of the Omaha and Richmond, Kuma was hit by at least 20 rounds of 6-inch shells. The entire superstructure was shattered, and many gun positions were also blown into a ball of twisted steel. However, even so, this Japanese light cruiser still fought hard until it was blown into two pieces by a torpedo from an American destroyer!

As soon as the battle began, the American Lightning Fleet went to the top of the battle and pushed forward little by little to the main Japanese fleet! But in the battle between the battleships of the two sides, the situation of the US fleet is not so good! Because Benson was surprised to find that the Japanese fleet that had been fighting for a long time didn't seem to have weakened much firepower!

"Fuck! What's the situation?" Looking at the five water columns rising next to the flagship New Mexico, Benson frowned. He observed the battleship next to him. The Japanese used a half salvo, Fusang. Class battleships have 10 main guns, so half a salvo is 5 shots. According to the information received by the US fleet, the firepower of 4 Fuso-class battleships is preserved! So, this TM is a bit tragic. After all, 12 14-inch guns have a higher projection capacity than 8 15-inch guns. (When the rate of fire is comparable.) But if it compares with 10 15-inch guns, then forget it...

Fortunately, the condition of the three 14-inch artillery battleships behind the Japanese Navy was very bad. The number of surviving artillery is barely enough for firing. The impact on the weak ships behind the U.S. Navy was very limited. Even the Nevada had an advantage, while the Texas was evenly matched with the King Kong, although the Texas had 10 goals. 10-inch gun, but the problem of walking around the New York-class central turret...

From the perspective of artillery skills alone, the Japanese obviously have to be more skilled. The Americans, on the other hand, rely on sufficient ammunition reserves to tilt their anger without scruple~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The two sides were almost tied at the beginning! The first two Tennessee-class battleships were at an advantage in fighting the two Fuso-class battleships whose firepower was damaged, and the subsequent four American battleships were at a disadvantage when facing the four Fuso-class battleships in better conditions.

"It won't work like this!" Watching a 15-inch shell bounce off the main armor of the northern turret again, Betty said to Hayao Shimamura. After the war, the US and Japanese navies both made hits, but overall, the effect was limited. The American turret and mount armor was completely immune to 15-inch naval guns. Although the main armor belt may penetrate, it is obvious that Sen also considered this issue. They kept their distance and had a certain angle of course! And this kind of war of attrition of simple points is very detrimental to the Japanese fleet. After all, the Americans still have reinforcements, but the Japanese fleet is gone!

"Then what shall we do?" Shimamura Hayao asked.

"Fight and go! See the five-turret battleship at the end of the line?" Betty asked.

"Are you talking about the New York?" Shimamura Hayao asked. (The New York and Texas are of the same class, so it is normal to admit mistakes.)
