"Order all ships to prepare for battle, destroy the remaining battleships of the Lighthouse Country, and win this battle completely!"
Admiral Kuznetsov issued an order on the battleship Anna I, the flagship of the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Empire Navy.
It can be said that the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Empire Navy has performed very well in this battle. Then, as long as they kill the remaining battleships of the Lighthouse Country Navy, it will be a complete victory. The entire Pacific Fleet can be regarded as having made great contributions and will definitely be rewarded.
And with the current strength of the battleship formation of the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Empire Navy, it is not a problem to destroy the remaining battleships of the Pacific Fleet of the Lighthouse Country Navy.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Commander!" Rear Admiral Sergeyev replied.
The four Amagi-class battlecruisers, two Kaga-class battleships, the Anna I battleship, two York-class battlecruisers and two Bavaria-class battleships of the Russian Empire Navy also formed a battle line.
"Four Amagi-class battlecruisers, besiege the two North Carolina-class battleships of the Lighthouse People. Two Bavaria-class battleships, besiege the
Oklahoma battleship of the Lighthouse People. The rest of the ships, engage in a one-on-one fight with the Lighthouse People’s main battleships!" Admiral Kuznetsov ordered.
At this moment, the Russian Empire Navy has an absolute advantage, and naturally it has to play these advantages.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
At three o’clock in the afternoon, a fierce sea~ duel began.
A total of 19 main battleships from both sides launched a fierce battle in this sea area.
Although the Lighthouse Navy was at a disadvantage. And many of their main battleships were besieged. However, the sailors of the Lighthouse Navy performed well and were not scared.
But unfortunately, the gap in strength between the two sides was too big. So that although they were brave, they also had no way to reverse the current situation. It was because the Russian Empire Navy had too much advantage.
After the improvement, the four Amagi-class battlecruisers had a lower speed. However, the armor defense was thicker. At the same time, the main guns were replaced with 50-caliber 410mm main guns. It has a more powerful attack power.
Although the North Carolina-class battleships of the Lighthouse Navy are also very good, with a full load displacement of more than 45,000 tons, they are also equipped with three triple-mounted 45-caliber 406mm main guns. But, after all, two fists can’t beat four hands!
Under the siege of four Amagi-class battlecruisers, the two North Carolina-class battleships were completely suppressed in the battle. They were even hit repeatedly.
The USS Oklahoma, located at the end of the battle line, was the second ship of the Nevada-class battleship. This was a huge battleship with a full load displacement of 34,000 tons after modification. It was equipped with a full 10 45-caliber cannons.356mm main gun.
However, now the USS Oklahoma was besieged by two Bavaria-class battleships.
Although the Bavaria-class battleship has been in service for more than 20 years. But after the improvement, the combat effectiveness is still very impressive. The four twin-mounted 50-caliber 380mm main guns are extremely powerful, enough to penetrate the armor of the USS Oklahoma.
Especially when two Bavaria-class battleships besieged the USS Oklahoma, the battleship was even more unable to resist.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The battleships of both sides were firing desperately, and the main guns roared.
One after another, large-caliber shells hit the other’s battleships fiercely, trying to destroy the other’s battleships.
The shells hit the sea surface, splashing high water columns.
Although the battle distance was very long, generally reaching nearly 20 kilometers.
But because of the emergence of advanced equipment such as radar, and the fact that seaplanes can calibrate fire. As a result, the main gun hit rate of this era is even much higher than that during the last world war. (To read the exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
In the fierce battle, one warship after another was hit by shells and exploded.
The flames shot up to the sky and the smoke filled the air.
Under the raging fire, the steel was twisted.
The Lighthouse Navy was completely suppressed in this battle. Moreover, the number of hits was increasing. This caused many warships of the Lighthouse Navy to suffer heavy damage.

Especially the battleship USS Oklahoma, which had been hit by more than ten 380mm shells within half an hour of the start of the battle. Even though the defense of the USS Oklahoma was pretty good, it couldn’t hold on!
At 3:47 pm, the USS Oklahoma sank into the sea due to severe damage.
The sinking of the USS Oklahoma made the situation faced by the Lighthouse Navy even more critical.
After sinking the USS Oklahoma, the two Bavaria-class battleships joined the siege of the USS Nevada. The USS Nevada couldn’t hold on either and was soon sunk.
The two North Carolina-class battleships of the Lighthouse Navy were eventually sunk under the siege of the four Amagi-class battlecruisers of the Russian Empire Navy.
Although their counterattack also damaged the battlecruisers Peter III and Paul I of the Russian Empire Navy. However, the injuries were not serious, and the combat effectiveness was not lost too much.
This directly made the Lighthouse Navy Pacific Fleet’s main battleship formation completely hopeless.
The remaining two Tennessee-class battleships and two Pennsylvania-class battleships were no match for the many main battleships of the Russian Empire Navy.
At 4:40 p.m., all the main battleships of the Lighthouse Navy Pacific FleetAll the ships were sunk.
Many of the other cruisers and destroyers were also sunk.
However, Admiral Hasben Kimmel, commander of the Pacific Fleet of the Lighthouse Navy, did not choose to sink into the sea with his flagship. Instead, he took a transport boat and boarded a light cruiser before the battleship sank. When they were about to fail, they evacuated the battlefield.
For the generals of the Lighthouse Navy, there was no saying that they had to sink with the ship. In difficult times, saving yourself is undoubtedly the most important thing. .
