Chapter 331: Let us use cannons to decide all this. Colonel Hilson was very angry at China's arrogant attitude. But he was still angry. When he thought about pitting his own fleet of three old-fashioned artillery destroyers from World War II against destroyers equipped with anti-ship missiles like those of the Chinese Navy, he felt guilty and felt chills running down his back. , the confidence to speak is not strong. He didn't want to seek death, so he said repeatedly: "No, no, no. I think we should be calmer. When dealing with this matter, we should each consult our own superiors for instructions. We have no right to act so hastily. Deciding on this important matter concerning the direction of the relationship between the two countries Zhang Tiezhu raised his left wrist, looked at his watch and said: "Okay, then I will give you 30 more minutes to ask your boss for instructions. "No, no, no, Brigadier General Zhang, it is impossible for any decision-making body to make such an important decision in such a short period of time." It will take at least 8 hours. "Colonel Hilson tried hard to buy more time for himself. "No, 30 minutes, just 30 minutes, you ***, where did all this nonsense come from? Whether you can make a decision is your own business. We care about things. Colonel Andre, who was sitting aside, stood up and said loudly in Chinese, "The options we give you now are either to accept our inspection, or you go back and prepare to fight us. I have no interest in listening to you here." shit. " "" After Andre finished speaking, he strode out of the restaurant. As he walked, he thought very proudly in his heart, it feels so good to be Chinese, with good food and good clothes. If you want to scold the United States, just scold the United States. If you want to fight the United States, you can fight it. These "cowboys" in the United States are so happy. The U.S. Navy has the most powerful naval fleet in the world, and it has always been rampant on the five continents. The four oceans, for the benefit of their own country, flaunted their power to other countries in order to achieve the goal of defeating others without fighting. Although Captain Vasily did not translate Colonel Andre's curse words to Colonel Hilson, he hoped that Colonel Hilson would listen to them. Colonel Ersen still felt that the Russian had humiliated himself and his country. He suddenly became furious and furious. He was determined to defend himself and the dignity of his country at the cost of his own life. He stood up as a soldier. Some were bloody and responsible, and roared angrily: "Okay, you think you are abominable traitors. Then let us decide it all with the cannon. "Colonel Hilson's "heroic" spirit of doing what he knew was impossible won Zhang Tiezhu's respect. Zhang Tiezhu saluted Colonel Hilson and said, "Your determination and courage are worthy of admiration. , I hope you can hold on a little longer. " Colonel Hilson left angrily, returned to his ship, sounded the battle alarm, and ordered the four ships of the 12th Destroyer Squadron of the U.S. Navy to weigh anchor immediately. To be honest, 40 minutes is too short, just to weigh anchor. Time is very tight, not to mention being prepared for a decisive battle with the Chinese fleet. But war is not decided unilaterally by any party. China has always been about surprise and unpreparedness. This time, it can give 40 minutes to prepare. Afterwards, Colonel Hilson quickly reported everything here and his decision to the U.S. Seventh Fleet Command, requesting the U.S. Navy and Air Force in Japan and South Korea to reinforce him. The Fleet Command replied to him: "It is unwise to engage in military conflict with China under such circumstances and should be avoided as much as possible. The materials on the supply ship are important and should not fall into the hands of the Chinese. We believe that you can evacuate to the nearest Tanbara Port on Japan's Tsushima Island and wait for the government's diplomatic resolution. Of course, you also have the right to decide to solve the problem you are facing in any way you think is appropriate. "Such a vague and always correct reply. This is unfair to a grassroots commander. It seems that bureaucrats in every country are the same. Colonel Hilson had no choice but to discuss with other captains of his own fleet. Others The captain couldn't come up with any good ideas. In view of the tight time and it was too late to discuss it, Colonel Hilson finally decided to prepare for battle, break through the encirclement, and retreat to Subara Port on Tsushima Island in Japan. When encountering the interception of the Chinese fleet, we must resolutely fight back. Even though everyone knows that it is very difficult to retreat to the nearby Subara Port of Tsushima Island in Japan when the powerful Chinese fleet is pursuing and intercepting. But there is no better way at the moment. Now that the fleet commander has decided, even if we are not united in the face of a strong enemy, we must work together to complete this retreat as much as possible. Colonel Hilson ordered the three destroyers to supply the ship. Forming a "pin" formation as the center, they retreated to Tsushima's Subara Port. After Captain Andre "hanged" the commander of the 12th Destroyer Squadron of the U.S. Navy, Colonel Hilson, he grew up happily. The restaurant returned to its command room,?The fleet issued an order to implement the No. 1 combat plan, and at the same time made specific arrangements based on the battlefield conditions. The entire fleet withdrew beyond the range of the 127mm high-level dual-purpose cannon of the US Fletcher-class destroyer and formed a month and a half Formed attack formation. Encircle and annihilate these three destroyers of the US Navy's 7th Fleet, capture this supply ship, and see what is being transported. After Captain Andrei led the Red Navy patrol fleet of the Far East Fleet into the Tsushima Strait, the Chinese Navy North Sea Fleet flagship "Shenyang" guided missile destroyer also led 2 "Great Wall" class guided missile destroyers, 2 "Dreadnought" class guided missile frigates and 2 A mine-laying ship also entered the Tsushima Strait from the southern end of the Tsushima Strait in the Yellow Sea. They blocked the southern coastline of South Korea and laid mines on major ports and waterways such as Busan and the mouth of the Yeosu River, destroying the U.S. and South Korean ships. The ship is blocked in the harbor. The North Sea Fleet's other two "Great Wall" class guided missile destroyers, one "Dreadnought" class guided missile frigate, and one "Dolphin" class conventional submarine have blocked the waters between Tsushima and Ikishima at the southwest end of the Japanese archipelago. So far, the two People's Navy fleets of China's North Sea Fleet and Far East Fleet have responded from the north to the south, sealing the narrow Tsushima Strait tightly. The 12th Destroyer Squadron of the U.S. Navy led by Captain Hilson began to move. Their three destroyers surrounded the supply ship in a "pin"-shaped formation of one or three, moving slowly from north to south. Because the 12th Destroyer Squadron led by Colonel Hilson was intercepted by the Chinese fleet 12 nautical miles west of Tsushima Island, in order to reach the Subara Port on Tsushima Island, one must go south around half of Tsushima Island to reach the island. Tanbara Port at the southern end of the east side of the island. The Chinese fleet is very trustworthy. Since it did not reach the stipulated 40 minutes, it has not taken action. It only followed the US fleet about 20 kilometers to the right in a half-moon formation. The battle formation at sea is the column that can best exert the power of artillery fire. Because the column can not only obtain a certain side firing angle for the first gun and the first level gun, it can also fully utilize the effective shooting area of ??90 degrees for the broadside gun fire; the second is the echelon formation, the broadside gun firing range is 75 degrees; the most unfavorable The bow of the ship is facing the enemy's line, and the broadside cannon fire can only obtain 25 degrees. Therefore, in a naval battle, the advantages and disadvantages of the formation in terms of tactical position should be the most advantageous with the broadside facing the enemy's bow. Among them, in modern naval warfare, due to the increasing development of communication equipment and the high degree of informatization of modern warships, command and dispatch are very convenient, especially for warships equipped with missiles with long-range strike capabilities. The formation requirements in naval warfare are not so It's important. But compared to the two current formations of China and the United States, the Chinese fleet's formation still has a slight advantage. Because the ship traveling on the tip of the crescent in front can make a 90-degree left turn at any time and align its port side with the bow of the US fleet. It¡¯s just that the Chinese fleet does not need to do this. Time passed by second by second, and the hearts of all the officers and soldiers of the 12th Destroyer Squadron of the U.S. Navy almost jumped out of their chests as the time passed. There is no such thing as letting you die and telling you the exact time of your death first. Isn't this torture? It's so unkind to be a human being. The "Dreadnought" class frigate numbered HQ201H traveling at the southern end of the half-moon shape first received the attack order from Colonel Andre. The HQ201H frigate was equipped with four C-802 anti-ship missile launch boxes between the main mast and the chimney. Spewing out a ball of orange-yellow flames, a C-802 anti-ship missile went through the climbing stage, lowered once, and after lowering twice, flew to an altitude of more than 20 meters above the sea level at an ultra-low altitude of 1.5 times the speed of sound for more than 25 kilometers. The USS Hickox destroyer. More than 30 meters away from the destroyer USS Hickox at the lower "mouth" on the left side of the "pin" formation of the U.S. fleet, the C-802 anti-ship missile suddenly climbed to 30 meters and then hit the U.S. Fletcher-class destroyer The middle part of the ship, the bridge part. The 100-meter-long USS Hickox destroyer was immediately torn in half. The bow and stern of the ship are upturned to form a huge V shape. The sea water forms a huge turbulent eddy in the middle. Five minutes later, the Hickox, a destroyer of more than 2,000 tons, sank unwillingly in the blue sea of ??the Tsushima Strait. More than 100 officers and soldiers of the Hickox were freed and no longer had to endure the unbearable feeling of waiting to die. Amid the explosion of the Hickox being hit, Captain Hilson issued an order to the 12th Destroyer Squadron to launch an all-out counterattack against the Chinese naval fleet. For a time, the remaining two destroyers Richard P. Leary and Urban fired all their artillery fire in the direction of the Tsushima Strait Patrol Fleet of the Second Red Navy Detachment of the Chinese Far East Fleet. This is not so much a counterattack as it is a kind of venting, a kind of self-comfort, and a kind of self-emboldening. The maximum range of the 127mm high and flat dual-purpose gun on the US Fletcher-class destroyer is only about 15.5 kilometers. It is impossible for them to hit the Chinese naval fleet, which is closest to them and is 17 or 8 kilometers away. But they really need this kind of thing in their hearts.Leak. Captain Andre was very inconsiderate. He could not understand the meaningless behavior of the Americans. He used his binoculars to look at these noisy Americans and the row of drainage columns that had been blown up in front of his warship. I thought to myself, these Americans are so fucking wasteful. If they want to eat fish, they can't use four or five hundred dollars a round to fry the fish. This cost is so high. The Supreme Leader taught us: "Corruption and waste are the greatest crimes." No, Americans must stop this waste of taxpayers' money. He issued an order to the destroyers HQ501 and HQ502 to stop this wasteful behavior of the Americans. Attention No. HQ501, target No. 2 - the destroyer USS Richard P. Leary, one shot of C-802 missile, launch. Attention No. HQ502, target No. 3 - the destroyer USS Urban, one shot of C-802 missile, Launch After Andre gave the order, he picked up the telescope again. He liked to see the thrilling scene when his missile hit the opponent's warship and exploded. There are not many opportunities like this. Since the modification of my destroyer was completed, it has only launched twice in total, and they were both target ships. Today, the warship under my command used this powerful ship-to-ship missile for the first time in actual combat. He couldn't help but feel a little excited. With a "boom", the milky-white missile flew out, and then the launch box was surrounded by white smoke like thick fog. "Hit," he couldn't help shouting loudly. The C-802 missile hit the USS Richard P. Leary, the flagship of the 12th Destroyer Squadron of the US Navy, on the right side of the supply ship and at the "mouth" of the US Navy's "Pin" formation. The destroyer, the missile penetrated the 65 mm thick steel armor reinforced with steel bars on the outside of the tail of the destroyer USS Richard P. Leary at an angle of 45 degrees. The missile did not "penetrate", but in the first moment Entering the explosion stage. The destroyer USS Richard P. Leary jumped forward violently, the entire upper deck of the tail section was lifted up, and the entire hull above the waterline was blown up. After the forward half of the destroyer Richard P. Leary completed its final jump, it floated motionless on the sea. He saw the destroyer USS Richard P. Leary hoisting a distress flag. "Report, Captain An, the International Morse Code S.O.S. distress signal from the destroyer USS Richard P. Leary has been received. ¡± reported the telegraph operator. Colonel Andre, still holding the telescope, said expressionlessly: "I know." zhUZhudao.com
