Chapter 311 This aircraft carrier, is it a serious aircraft carrier? (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)

When Zhuge Weidao commanded a strange aircraft carrier to bombard two half-dead battleships, Chen Jian and Lieutenant General James Hood were using the most standard tactics of "grabbing the T position" and "circling circles" to compete with each other. Call it a puzzle!

Everyone knows that it is good to "grab the T position", but it is not easy to really grab it.Chen Jian's four Zhongwang-class ships were fast, but not that much faster.If they can run 4 knots, the T position has already been obtained.It's a pity that they are only at 30 or 24 knots. Even with forced ventilation, they can reach 25 or 26 knots.

而詹姆斯.胡德的8条胜利级也有21节的额定最高速，强压通风也能到23节。虽然比对手慢3节，但还是在一个档次上的。所以詹姆斯.胡德可以指挥自己的8条胜利级以双纵队走内圈的办法，一直和陈剑的4条忠王级绕来绕去。他的双纵队还是错开排列的，这样可以将自己的火力优势发挥到极大。8条胜利级的64门12英寸炮都可以集中起来轰击一条忠王级！

And there are only 4 32mm cannons in the 300 Zhongwang class, which is obviously not an opponent!

Therefore, in the face of the fierce artillery fire from James Hood's formation, Chen Jian's formation was helpless.He didn't dare to get too close to the opponent, and he couldn't use the 300mm gun to smash the opponent's battleship at a long distance - because there were no armor-piercing shells and armor-piercing shells, the penetration depth of the 300mm gun and the 12-inch gun were not enough. .The Victory-class and Zhongwang-class adopted the latest surface-hardened armor, and both sides adopted the concept of key protection for armor distribution, so the defense capabilities are quite reliable.

They hammered each other for a while, but nothing came of it.

Of course James Hood is not in a hurry.Now the advantage is in him!Even if his 8 battleships can't kill the opponent's 4 battleships, Major General Howe's 2 victory-class battleships can't kill the "half battleship"?
That's a 4:1 advantage!
And Chen Jian is a bit in a hurry. His 4 battlecruisers are the absolute main force of Ming Dynasty on today's battlefield. If he can't defeat his opponent, how long can Zhuge Weidao survive with an "aircraft carrier" that can fight with artillery? ?

If Zhuge Weidao couldn't hold on and was beaten to death, Chen Jian would be in serious trouble. Zhuge Weidao now has the meaning of being the number one general of the Zhuge family!If he ended up here in the Great Strait because of Chen Jian's lack of hard work, the Zhuge family would have ghosts if they didn't clean up Chen Jian in the future.

Just when Chen Jian was considering whether to use his battlecruiser as a torpedo boat and fight a "battlecruiser pig attack" with the 12 heavy mine destroyers in his hand, he was transferred to the bridge by Lei Teng as the bridge observation team Lu Benwei, the squad leader, suddenly shouted: "It seems that the Zhuge army of Chen Zongzhen has already defeated the two enemy battleships!"

Chen Jian was taken aback when he heard this, "What? Zhuge Junmen has already been defeated?"

"No, no, it's not that Yingyi was defeated!" Lu Benwei said loudly, "Zhuge Junmen defeated two British battleships with an aircraft-carrying battlecruiser. It seems that Yingyi's two battleships are about to be sunk. !"

"What?" Chen Jian couldn't believe his ears, but he immediately turned the binoculars to look at the battlefield on the other side.And after looking at it, he couldn't even believe his own eyes.

Because the scene he saw was incredible!
The King of Shuzhong is using two twin 300mm turrets to bombard two British battleships with five twin 5-inch cannon turrets, and it is also scarring the two British battleships!

One of them has sunk obviously, and seems to have lost all power. Although all 5 turrets did not misfire, but after losing the electric loader and other servo systems, the British artillery can only operate the gun manually. The rate of fire is slow. It's outrageous.As for the secondary guns on this battleship, most of them were silent, and the fire spread everywhere on the deck.The damage control team seemed helpless, and could only watch the battleship being engulfed in flames.

The other battleship was even worse. The bow of the ship sank into the water for some reason, and the ship's buttocks were sticking out, and it was still burning like crazy, and it was constantly hit by the 300mm main gun of the King of Shuzhong!
The two British battleships were really beaten up!
But how is this done?How could an aircraft-carrying battlecruiser be so powerful?

Isn't this aircraft-carrying battlecruiser as simple as it looks?What other secrets does it have?

As soon as Chen Jiang thought of this, a huge ball of fire suddenly broke out on the british battleship sticking out his ass!

Amidst the gunpowder smoke, Chen Jian could only see that the "butt" of this battleship, which seemed to have a standard displacement of at least 1.8 tons, had been blown away, and the entire warship was snapped into two near the stern turret. , exploded violently and even threw a part of the stern of the ship high, and then slammed it down on the sea surface, splashing huge waves.

Chen Jian was stunned!

Is this a one-shot ammo depot?

This is too powerful, right?Zhuge Weidao, is this enough to be the God of the Navy?
James Hood also saw that one of his battleships was shot down by an "aircraft carrier" of the Ming army with a cannon. Ammunition depots are now most popular in the navies of various countries, but the cannonballs charged with picric acid are the power of martyrdom. How fierce?When the Wellesley was blown up like this, it wasn't a matter of "losing" a "ass", but it was over!Although the ship has not sunk, it must be abandoned.

Just when James Hood was extremely shocked, something happened that made him even more unacceptable.The "aircraft carrier" that had just been destroyed swaggered to a distance of only 1000 meters from the battleship Malina that had been "lying flat" and fired two torpedoes, and then a terrible scene happened. Two huge water jets suddenly rose from the side of the Lena, and when the water jets and the subsequent water mist dissipated, the ship with a standard displacement of more than 18000 tons had already rolled over severely, and then sank at a speed visible to the naked eye. the sea!
James Hood was dumbfounded—what the hell happened?How could one aircraft carrier kill two battleships in the blink of an eye?And it was killed with artillery and torpedoes.

Is this aircraft carrier a serious aircraft carrier?
"Vice Admiral, urgent message from Rear Admiral Elliott," the communications staff officer of the fleet suddenly yelled loudly at this moment, "Rear Admiral Elliot said that he witnessed the whole process of the destruction and sinking of the Wellesley and the Mariner. The Chinese fleet sank and destroyed the two battleships by adopting the tactics of aircraft, warships, and lightning strike ships! If the same tactic is used on the remaining 8 victory-class ships, it will also work, so he suggested that the second India The fleet is temporarily withdrawing to India to rest!"

Not to mention, that George Elliot, who overlooks everything from a high place, is really spot on!

The reason why Zhuge Weidao was able to win was that he used an unprecedented method, which was not seen in any other period of history. It was completely his own unique method of cooperating with aircraft, warships, and lightning strike ships.

If Zhuge Weidao continues to adopt the same coordinated combat mode.Then James Hood's fleet will definitely continue to suffer heavy losses.Maybe they will be wiped out by the entire army and lose all victory levels.

If this step is reached, the British Empire will lose the entire war.

So now James Hood must give up the decisive battle and withdraw from the battlefield immediately...
