Chapter 908: American hero

Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
Every nation has its own heroes. If a nation has no heroes, even if this nation exists, it is nothing but a humble ethnic group. If you want to read books, as a powerful country, the United States of America naturally has its own heroes, and many, many heroes.
Oden did n’t know if he was a hero, because when his battleship was besieged by two longmen-class battleships in Japan, he was really embarrassed like a child who lost in a fight. When a shell hit his bridge and struck all of his control tower halfway, the captain was seriously injured in the head.
A simple bandage could not heal his wounds, so soon the blood leaching from his head was stained with red gauze, but now he looks very tall, at least in the eyes of a living American soldier, he is indeed a person looking up Hero.
The Mississippi is also an old battleship. Although it is not far from the launch time of the Japanese battleship Nagato, it only uses a poor main gun of 356 mm caliber. Although the Mississippi was equipped with a total of 12 such cannons, it was still unable to pose a lethal threat to the Japanese because of its range and power.
Moreover, in order to ensure that it is the target of being attacked by Japanese warships, it protruded a distance of two kilometers, which made the formation of the US Navy battleship very bad, but it also allowed Japan to really determine its own attack target and put all its firepower They are all concentrated on the "poorly formed" US forward warships.
"There are only two battleships, and the battle formation of the US Navy can have problems. This navy really has no future." Fifty-six Yamamoto proudly put down his telescope. He now seems to have won the ticket. In the grip, it seems that the tail of victory in this naval battle can already be felt.
Although the voyage of the entire Yamamoto Fleet in eastern Japan has been delayed by the U.S. forces because of crossing the bow, the days of the U.S. battleship force responsible for procrastination are not very good. The artillery hit.
This time, the Japanese Navy ’s naval guns have an advantage in caliber. Although the US Mississippi battleship has 12 main guns, it only has a caliber of 356 mm. The USS Colorado, which has the same caliber, cannot be dense due to the strength of the hull. Open fire.
However, Japan ’s two battleship captains and the No. 6 Olympics are both new sharp warships equipped with eight 4o6 mm caliber main guns, which completely overwhelmed the US Navy in the power of naval guns.
The artillery battles of both sides were dimly dark. Both sides were using the seaplanes boarded by the battleships to fire the artillery, so the hit rate was significantly improved. The American battleship even miraculously hit the Japanese battleship first, but the Americans aimed at the battleship Nagato, but they hit a Japanese light cruiser not far away.
Although the US Navy has made a good start, it does not mean that the US Navy has always had such good luck. Then it became a shooting training course for the Japanese navy battleships. The two battleships of Nagano and No. 6 Olympics fired almost four salvos in one breath, and finally hit the US fleet in the fourth shot, the position was convex The former battleship Mississippi.
Fortunately, US battleships have always put armor protection in front of the voyage and are designed as the main indicator, so although the artillery caliber is backward, the Mississippi ’s disadvantage in the main armor is not obvious. The 13-inch armor allows it to withstand Lived in the ravages of the Japanese Navy.
When the Japanese navy hit the eighth round of salvo, it missed the Mississippi with two large-caliber shells, and was furiously fighting back with its two main turrets.
As time passed by one minute and one second, Yamamoto 56 gradually lost his patience. After all, if he could not quickly win the two US battleships, then his fleet would not be able to quickly approach the US Navy. For the superior Yamamoto fleet, it is undoubtedly a loss-making transaction.
"Baga Yalu! Keep on firing! Take your usual shooting training skills and hit a higher hit rate!" While waiting anxiously, Yamamoto finally couldn't help but start putting pressure on his opponents, after all, this World War I was too important for him and the Great Japanese Empire, and no accident was allowed.
Of course, he still doesn't know that behind the sturdy Mississippi battleship, the Colorado, which has been firing and disrupting the shooting of the Japanese battleship, is actually a not-so-sturdy "looking cargo".
However, it was such a cargo, but during its slow second round of shooting, it hit the battleship Nagato where Yamamoto fifty-six is ​​located, and it hit the side port sub-cannon of the Nagato directly with one hit. It caused a fire on the battleship Nagato and scared the battleship No. 6 Austria to call to confirm whether Marshal Yamamoto was injured.
After the battle of one minute and one second, the battleship Mississippi was finally unable to support it, and another round of Japanese artillery shells fell around it. One of them hit the side of the battleship and directly penetrated its armor. The huge explosion destroyed its boiler and caused the warship to descend very slowly to a level close to its original position.
This made the Japanese navy's 16 4o6 mm caliber main gun hit rate suddenly improved several grades at a time, and it was still very easy for a trained Japanese gunner to hit a stationary target. So within a few minutes, the Mississippi was once again hit by the Japanese, and the entire warship began to roll.
Different from the past, the US Navy did not immediately abandon the ship this time, but continued to fire on the spot and fought back with a turret that remained. The end result of such a tough attitude is that although they did not hit the Japanese battleship, Yamamoto's assault fleet was delayed here for a full two and a half hours.
In the end, the USS Mississippi battleship sank in the waters of the Solomon Islands, and more than 1ooo officers and soldiers survived. What made Yamamoto fifty-six collapse most was that, half an hour after the Japanese navy sank the USS Mississippi, they sank the USS Colorado.
It was only at this time that they understood the real reason why the first battleship fleet of the Americans stood out. Fifty-six Yamamoto looked at the sinking and disappearing surface of the USS Mississippi, and he recovered from shock and panic for a while. He always thought that only the soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire were the most self-sacrificing soldiers in the world, but this moment He is wrong now, a bit ridiculously wrong.
The destroyer Yuri eventually replaced the US North Carolina because of the lack of experience of the US Navy ’s destroyer fleet, and because the North Carolina ’s decay was too low to avoid torpedoes, all of which had luck.
But the USS Mississippi battleship did not rely on luck to retain Yamamoto's assault fleet, but the true fearless spirit. The most desperate thing for Yamamoto is the waste of time: his fleet has been delayed here for too long, and it is already afternoon.
If Nanyun Zhongyi ’s fleet could not defeat the US aircraft carrier fleet, when the night came, he could only choose whether to play fate night battles, or to command the troops to take the opportunity to run the road. As long as it was dragged to sunrise the next day, then Solomon The archipelago will become the grave of the Japanese combined fleet.
"Don't waste time with the remaining American ships anymore, go west! We will bite the main US carrier fleet before dark!" Fifty-six Yamamoto finally recovered from the fear and chaos in his brain. Quickly issued an order to continue westward. All he can do now is pray, praying that Nan Yunzhong can defeat the US carrier fleet, and pray that his own assault fleet can catch up with the US fleet.
Of course, it seems that the Japanese navy has already completed their pre-designed script. At least so far, they have sunk three US battleships and two aircraft carriers, and they have only sunk two old battleships. This is entirely possible. The accepted price, if the battle is ended now, then the performance of the Japanese army can be said to be nearly perfect.
The only pity is that now the battle is far from over, and in sequence, it is time for the Americans to start fighting back. After all, at this time, the American carrier-based aircraft had rushed into the air defense circle of the First Air Fleet of the Japanese Combined Fleet. Whether the next battle wins or loses depends on the result of this collision.
Spruance took the telegram from the guard's side, read the message above with a sorrowful mood, then he stood upright and took off the military cap he wore on his head. Only then did he pass the message in his hand to his subordinates, and then the telegram passed through the hands of everyone in the command room in silent silence.
The battleship Mississippi sank, the battleship Colorado sank, and the four battleships of the US Navy lost three quarters after the battle. This was a huge and indescribable blow to frontline commander Spruance. The mountain-like pressure was on his shoulders, making him feel breathless.
If you shrink back at this time, so much loss will only become worthless. So Spruance shot the table in the palm of his hand, took out the momentum of breaking the ship, and issued the order to continue the attack: "The Mississippi has already set an example, so we have no reason to shrink back ... the second wave of attack aircraft is contained Immediately after that, take off the fourth wave of attack aircraft and target the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet! Continue to attack until all Japanese aircraft carriers are sunk! "
