The two battleship divisions of the Russian Empire Navy, namely the 1st Battleship Division and the 2nd Battleship Division, have a total of 20 battleships. The 3rd Battleship Division has 9 battleships.
Total, there are 29 ships. In terms of quantity, it completely exceeds the 17 battleships of the Lighthouse People.
It can be said that once the three battleship divisions of the Russian Empire Navy are all united, they are enough to besiege the battleship formation of the Lighthouse People.
The two battleship divisions of the Russian Empire Navy formed a battle line.
The four Yamato-class battleships are in the front, followed by two Kaga-class battleships, four Bavaria-class battleships, two N3-class battleships, four Nelson-class battleships and four Revenge-class battleships.
In terms of the number of battleships on the battleships, the Russian Empire Navy has a slight advantage. However, the warships of the Lighthouse people are all cutting-edge warships. Many of the battleships of the Russian Empire Navy are old warships that have been in service for many years. Even after modern modifications. However, in terms of combat effectiveness, they can only fight with more people on the battlefield. In this way, perhaps there will be a chance of winning.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
When the distance between the two battle lines was shortened to less than 20 kilometers, the warships of both sides began to attack.
Four Yamato-class battleships faced the first four Montana-class battleships. The two Kaga-class battleships faced the fifth ship of the Montana-class battleship, the Louisiana battleship, and the first ship of the Iowa-class battleship, the Iowa battleship. The four Bavaria-class battleships used a two-on-one approach to besiege the second ship of the Iowa-class battleship, the New Jersey, and the third ship, the Missouri. The two N3-class battleships faced the fourth ship of the Iowa-class battleship, the Wisconsin, and the fifth ship, the Illinois. The four Nelson-class battleships dealt with the first ship of the Alaska-class battlecruiser, the USS Alaska, the second ship, the USS Guam, and the third ship, the USS Hawi. The four Revenge-class battleships dealt with the remaining three Alaska-class battlecruisers. Among them, the USS Ramillies and the USS Royal Oak besieged the sixth ship of the Alaska-class battlecruiser, the USS Samoa.
A fierce naval battle broke out at this moment. The main battleships of both sides were like steel monsters, and they started a fierce collision in this sea area.
One after another, large-caliber shells hit the other side’s warships fiercely.
The shells fell into the sea, splashing high water columns.
The battle was very fierce. Even though the Russian Empire Navy had an advantage in the number of warships. But in the actual battle, there was not much advantage at all.
Especially when four Bavaria-class battleships faced two Iowa-class battleships, and four Revenge-class battleships faced three Alaska-class battlecruisers, not only did they not have an advantage, but they also had a disadvantage.And they are still at a disadvantage.
After all, both the Bavaria-class battleship and the Revenge-class battleship are products of the last world war. They have been in service for almost 30 years.
Even after being modified, they are far from being the opponents of the new battleships of the Lighthouse People.
In addition, the 50-caliber 410mm main guns of the Iowa-class battleships and the Alaska-class battlecruisers can cause fatal damage to the Bavaria-class battleships and the Revenge-class battleships.
And their 50-caliber 380mm main guns do not pose much threat to the Lighthouse People’s battleships. Especially the Iowa-class battleships, which have strong defense.
It is undoubtedly very difficult for the Bavaria-class battleship to penetrate its main armor.
Fortunately, the four Yamato-class battleships and two N3-class battleships of the Russian Empire Navy are equipped with 50-caliber 460mm main guns, which are amazingly powerful. Facing the Montana-class battleships and Iowa-class battleships of the Lighthouse People, they can still have a lot of advantages.
Of course, luck is also a very critical factor in naval battles.
If the luck is not good enough. Then, it is very likely to lose miserably in the naval battle. (To read the exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
The luck of the Russian Empire Navy is not bad.
This makes this naval battle even more tragic.
"Although the Russians have more battleships than us, their combat effectiveness may not be stronger than ours. Send a telegram to the battleships New Jersey and Missouri, as well as the battlecruisers Luzon, Puerto Rico and Samoa. Let them quickly eliminate the Russian Bavaria-class battleships and Revenge-class battleships.
In that case, we will be able to gain an advantage in the number of battleships. At that time, our 17 battleships will face the Russians’ 12 battleships, and we will have a huge advantage.
Even, we can kill the Russian battleship formation in one fell swoop.
In this way, it can be regarded as revenge for the carrier-based aircraft unit!"
On the battleship Montana, Vice Admiral Halsey issued an order.
In his opinion, their advantage is still very large. If they can seize this advantage and quickly turn the advantage into results. Then, they will have a great chance of winning this battle.
The Lighthouse Navy’s carrier-based aircraft units were almost completely lost, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to them (Dehao Zhao).
But if they could severely damage the Russian battleship formation, this would undoubtedly be a win. And it could also cause a greater blow to the Russians.
After all, the cost of aircraft is far from comparable to that of battleships. Even if the Lighthouse Navy lost so many carrier-based aircraft this time. But if a few Russian battleships were killed, it would almost be able to make up for the loss.
"Yes, General!" the officer replied.
It has to be admitted that HalseyThe Vice Admiral’s vision was very accurate. The four Bavaria-class battleships and four Revenge-class battleships of the Russian Empire Navy were indeed in danger at this moment.
Facing the Iowa-class battleships and Alaska-class battlecruisers of the Lighthouse People, these old battleships that had already been in service in the last world war, the gap was really too big. .
