MTL - Napoleon II Reborn-Chapter 566 battleship terminator

"Damn it! Where did these warships come from? How could the French have such perverted warships?" Paret roared. Paradise and defense are so close. One second ago, he was still fantasizing about defeating the French fleet, but these huge, never-before-seen warships appeared in the next second, but ruthlessly tore his dream apart. .

"Damn it, there are 8mén 305mm naval guns. Aren't the French afraid of shaking the ship apart?" Aldrich was also very angry. It felt like I was being played like a monkey. The flying dog who was kicked out by the French navy before, finally thought that he could defeat the opponent this time, but now it seems that it will never be possible.

From top to bottom, the U.S. Navy was completely shocked by the glorious fleet. A huge battleship with so many main guns is completely different from the current mainstream battleships. In front of these powerful warships, the "North Carolina" class warship they are proud of seems to be a joke at all. Everyone felt a trace of despair. [bsp;"Send a message to the Canadian fleet to speed up their arrival. In addition, inform the ships that the French's warships are not invincible no matter how large their warships are and how many guns they have." Woke up, and then gave the order. Although the French fleet is very powerful, and the advantage that the American fleet gained after losing a lot of fleets disappeared in an instant. But even if the U.S. Navy is defeated, there is still the Canadian Navy. The Canadian Navy still has 5 fleets and 20 capital ships, so it may not be the opponent of the French. As long as they can sink or severely damage as many of the French Navy's capital ships as possible, Canada's chances of winning will be better.

Under Paret's order and encouragement, the morale of the remaining eleven battleships of the U.S. Navy finally improved a bit. This battle is related to the fate of the United States. Even in adversity, they have to fight to the end.

The Brilliant Fleet is approaching at high speed, and only when the distance is shortened will the size of the 'Brilliant' class battleship be felt. The warship of more than 20,000 tons is fully bigger than the "North Carolina" class warship of the Americans.

"Very well, order the ships and prepare for battle. This time, we must sink all the Americans!" On the "Azore", Kirkbride said excitedly.

"Marshal, General Darcy is calling. General Darcy said, let us take precautions and not let the Americans slip away. Just hand over the defeat of the Americans to the Brilliant Fleet." The officer said cautiously.

"Eh? What?" Kirkbride was choked up. But then, he relaxed: "Okay, order the ships to surround the US fleet and not let go of a US battleship!"

Although he was a little unhappy, Kirkbride also wanted to see what kind of surprise the brilliant fleet that His Majesty the Emperor and the two Marshals of the Admiralty placed high hopes on would give him.

Kirkbride led the warships of the four major fleets, avoiding the center of the battlefield far away, but the scattered destroyers surrounded the entire US fleet. Once the US capital ships try to escape, they will be attacked by them.

The Brilliant Fleet approached the US Fleet, and the distance between the two sides was shortened to 12,000 meters. Even at such a long distance, the huge hull of the 'Brilliant' class battleship still put a lot of pressure on the US Fleet.

"Now, it's time for us to praise, let us end the U.S. Navy in this battle. All ships prepare, attack!" On the bridge of the 'Glory', Darcy issued a confident order ordered. Those who have not been in contact with the glorious fleet cannot understand his horror. It was only after Darcy became the supreme commander of the glorious fleet that he gradually realized his terror. This kind of warship has surpassed any current warship. The United States and Canada will not have a single warship as his opponent. The United States and Canada will also lose this war because of this.

Under Dalcy's order, the Brilliant Fleet completed its turn and began to balance with the American fleet. The huge twin-mounted turrets began to rotate, aiming their ferocious muzzles at the American fleet. They have been holding back for a long time. In order to build this fleet, France has prepared for two years. After forming the army, they have been training for more than half a year. The shells they fired during the training are enough to pile up a hill. Now, it was finally their turn to play. It is still a battle that will determine the fate of both parties.

"Now assign targets, 'Glory', 'Dawn', 'Majesty', 'Liberty' and 'Dignity', to attack the American flagship 'Washington'; 'Peace', 'War Spite', The 'Rage', 'Giant' and 'Victory' attacked the 'New Hampshire'." The gunner on the 'Glory' quickly assigned the target of the battle. This is the first battle of the Brilliant Fleet, and they will make an unusually high-profile appearance, and the USS Washington and the USS New Hampshire have become the first victims of their appearance. The former is the current 'flagship' of the U.S. fleet and sinking him will receive excellent results. The latter is at the center of the attack of the five battleships behind the brilliant fleet.

"Damn it, such a long distance! Do they think they can hit us?" Paret said disdainfully inside the flagship of the USS Washington. At such a long distance, if the US fleet is allowed to fire, the hit rate is absolutely zero. Not only did he not believe it, but most of the American officers and soldiers also did not believe it.

"Fire!" The gunner on the "Glory" gave the order to fire. "Boom!" There was only a loud noise, and the 'Glory' had already started its first salvo. The 8mén huge 305mm naval gun let out a deep roar. Groups of orange flames flashed at the muzzle, and 8 huge shells smashed towards the US fleet at high speed. The huge recoil caused the 'Glory' to be pushed a full meter away on the sea surface.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the Brilliant Fleet have already gotten used to it after more than half a year of training, so they didn't cause hunluàn. The remaining nine 'Brilliant' class warships did not fire. They will make adjustments based on the impact point of the "Glory" and re-determine the bombardment parameters.

Almost everyone's eyes were focused on the bombardment of the 'Glory', looking forward to what effect their bombardment would produce. Will it work a miracle?

After flying for more than ten seconds, 8 shells exploded on the right side of the Washington. None of them hit, but the closest shell to the Washington was only more than two hundred meters away.

"Miss! Haha! Hmph, close the distance and shoot back!" Paret ordered.

"It's a pity, it was close. But the first shelling can achieve this effect, which is already very good!" Kirkbride also sighed.

"Correct the bombardment parameters, and fire again in two minutes!" The gunner on the 'Glory' issued an order.

"Boom!" Two minutes later, the 'Glory' carried out a second round of shelling.

This time the shelling had a much higher hit rate. There was one shell that was less than 50 meters away from the 'Washington'. It's almost missed. If the "North Carolina" class battleship hadn't been relatively thick-skinned, the cannon that spoke would have torn a hole in the "Washington".

"Send the parameters to all the ships and prepare to shoot!" the gunner on the 'Glory' ordered. When the fleet is firing in unison, all the bombardment of the entire fleet is under his command.

After obtaining the bombardment parameters based on the 'Glory', the other nine 'Glory' class warships were quickly adjusted. Then, the salvo started.

"Boom!" The low roar of the main gun came and went. A large number of shells were slammed into the US fleet. The entire U.S. fleet was shrouded in bullets, especially the attacked USS Washington and New Hampshire. A large number of shells exploded around them. These two warships seemed to be walking through the rain of bullets.

"Damn it! Isn't it just more main guns! Order the ships to counterattack!" Paret roared. Each of the 'Brilliant' class warships uses 8mén main guns, and five 'Brilliant' class warships attack an American warship. Each salvo is an attack by a 40mén main gun, which puts the US fleet in a very dangerous situation situation.

"Boom, boom!" The American fleet also started to fight back, but the distance was too far. Their attack did not pose any threat to the French brilliant fleet at all.

Neither the first round nor the second salvo of the Brilliant Fleet hit the target, but there were several near-misses, among which the closest one was only ten meters away from the 'New Hampshire'. The huge water pressure generated after the shell exploded~www.novelbuddy.com~ directly tore a hole more than one meter long in the hull of the "New Hampshire". It's just that it was quickly blocked, and it didn't cause much damage.

Although the damage was not great, the dense rain of bullets made countless American sailors look pale with fright. Paret's face was also ashen. In this case, being hit, being sunk is obvious.

"Closer, fight back!" The current distance is very uneconomical for the US fleet. They must shorten the distance to increase their hit rate. However, the Brilliant Fleet will not do what they want. At the current distance, the Brilliant Fleet can rely on intensive bombardment to increase its hit rate, and it doesn't have to worry about the threat of the Americans. Therefore, the Americans approached them, while the Brilliant Fleet opened up a distance, keeping the distance between the two sides at about 12,000 meters.

At 10:10 in the morning, the Brilliant Fleet launched its third salvo. This time, the US fleet did not have such good luck. The 'Washington' and the 'New Hampshire' were shot one after another.

The stern of the "Washington" was shot, and the main gun on the rear deck was directly destroyed. The sailors on the deck also suffered numerous casualties. The "New Hampshire" was even more tragic. A No. 305 shell penetrated the armor near the waterline and directly tore a big hole.
