At 3:40 pm on October 26, the first round of the French South Atlantic Fleet did not achieve any effect. However, it scared the US 7th Fleet to death.

"Damn it! Fight back now!" McCain angrily issued the order to fight back. The 305mm naval guns of the United States were slightly worse than those of France in terms of range. The distance was 1,200,000 meters, and just entered their effective range. However, no one could guarantee the degree of the shelling.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Under McCain's order, four "North Carolina-class" warships of the US 7th Fleet fought back against the French fleet. Unlike the French fleet's neatly carried out, the warships of the US fleet were all fighting on their own. Luàn't have been shot, and basically all the shells were knocked away, and none of them could reach within 500 meters of the French fleet. [bsp;    "General, the distance is too far, and it is difficult for us to hit the French!" The captain of the Apostle reported to McCain.

In fact, after the counterattack began, McCain calmed down. The US Navy's shelling level and naval gun strength were slightly worse than France. At this distance, the 7th Fleet could only be a living target for the French Fleet.

"Turn left and bring the distance between the two sides to 8 kilometers!" McCain issued a turning order. Only by bringing the distance closer can the US 7th Fleet have a chance.

At this time, the French South Atlantic Fleet had already made a second round. Like the first round, it had no achievements, but the French South Atlantic Fleet was working hard. The bounce point was getting closer and closer.

"General, I suggest that our five warships can concentrate on attacking one of the opponent's warships! This will increase the hit rate!" The gunman suggested to Bennett.

Bennett thought about it for a moment and adopted the Gunman's suggestion.

Under the unified command of the "Viena" gun captain, the five warships in the French fleet set their targets on the second "Faith" among the American main ships.

"General, the Americans turned!" Chief of Staff Elliot reported to Bennett.

"It seems that the Americans are anxious because we are bizarre, and the feeling of being beaten is probably very uncomfortable." Bennett smiled.

"What about us? Will we turn too?" Elliot asked.

Bennett shook his head. Although the US fleet could not hit the French fleet at this distance, the distance was too far, and the French fleet's hit rate was also very low. If you want to kill the US 7th Fleet, you don't know what year or month it will take to drag it. Therefore, it is not too bad for the French fleet to narrow the distance between the two sides.

"Let them get closer! But it's best to sink or severely damage an opponent's main ship during this period!" Bennett said. In that case, the chances of the French South Atlantic Fleet winning will increase a lot.

Under the indulgence of the French fleet, the distance between the two fleets quickly narrowed. While the main battleships of both sides were in full swing, other types of warships had already been killed. Moreover, the degree of tragic was much higher than the duel between the main battleships.

The 30 destroyers of the French South Atlantic Fleet wanted to approach the main battleships of the US fleet and then carry out lightning strikes.

However, the "Washington" class warships and the "Franklin" class warships of the 7th Fleet of the United States fought to the death. The two sides launched fierce shellings, and the shelling speed of small-caliber naval guns was much faster than that of large-caliber naval guns. The sea surface had already been thinking of a group. From time to time, warships of both sides were shot and caught fire.

Similarly, the six heavy cruisers of the French Atlantic Fleet, the heavy cruisers of the Heavy Cavalry class and the American "South Carolina class" warships, were also killed in a group. Although the gun caliber of the heavy cruisers is not as good as the main battleship, the fierce battle between them is more dangerous than the duel between the main battleships.

The eight "Light Cavalry-class" warships of the French South Atlantic Fleet suppressed the "Washington" warships of the US 7th Fleet. Both sides fought back and forth and had a lot of fun.

In the absence of lightning strikes on the main battleship of the US 7th Fleet, the destroyer Mén lowered its target and launched an assault on the heavy cruiser of the US 7th Fleet's "South Carolina-class".

More than 10 "Dolphin" class destroyers, under the cover of "Light Cavalry" class light cruisers, escaped from the entanglement of American warships and launched an attack on a "South Carolina class" warship.

They quickly rushed to a place less than two thousand meters away from the South Carolina class warship and released the torpedo. Although during this process, a "Dolphin-class" destroyer was hit by a Mén sub-bomb of the "South Carolina class" and was seriously injured and had to leave the battlefield. However, the remaining 9 torpedoes rushed towards the "South Carolina class warship in a fan shape, leaving white trails on the sea.

"Damn it! Torpedo attack! The left full rudder!" The South Carolina class warship quickly avoided it. But it was futile. Two torpedo hit the ship's unit and stern respectively. The explosion carried by the torpedo exploded violently, directly blowing it into three parts, and sank into the seabed in 1 minute. More than 100 people on the entire warship, none of them survived, were all dragged into the seabed by the vortex formed when the warship sinks.

"General! It's the 'Miami'. She was sunk!" The officer on the 'Apostle' shouted in surprise at the dull 'Miami'.

"Damn it! Fight back with all our might! We're going to make the French pay the price!" McCain roared.

Now, the distance between the two sides has been narrowed to 10,000 meters. The 7th Fleet of the United States was lucky. The French Fleet did not hit them in the previous three rounds. After that, the five main battleships of the United States began to adjust their targets and aimed all their firepower at the "Faith". Therefore, the 4th Fleet of the United States has not started for a long time.

"Boom!" It seems that God favors Americans at this moment. Amid the violent shelling of the Americans, a 305mm shell accidentally hit the "Garon". The shell accurately hit the rear deck of the "Garon". After the explosion, it almost killed all the French soldiers on the entire rear deck. A mén 305mm naval gun was also destroyed, causing the firepower of the "Garon" to drop a lot.

"Okay! Very good, let the French know how great we are!" McCain laughed.

"Damn it, counterattack! Sink the 'faith'." Bennett issued an order with a slight face. Although he knew that this was completely the Americans' luck. However, the French fleet had three rounds, but no hit, and even had no near-missile bombs. Instead, it was destroyed by someone. This made Bennett, who was confident that he wanted to kill the 7th American Fleet, feel so sorry.

Fortunately, at this time, the heavy cruiser of the US 7th Fleet's "Miami" was sunk, which is the first important result of the French fleet's counterattack.

The attack of the "Garon" caused several main battleships of the French fleet to breathe. Under the unified command of the "Viena" gun captain, he took revenge on the "Faith" of the American fleet.

"Boom!" All the 9mén 305mm naval guns of the French fleet aimed at the "Faith" and opened fire. The shells fell to the left of the "Faith". Although no one hit, they frightened the "Faith" in a fright.

Immediately afterwards, the French Navy scored the fifth, sixth and seventh rounds. In the seventh round, a shell hit the "Faith" number, and another one was nearly missing.

The shell hitting the "Faith" was fired by the "Garon". It is hard to imagine that the "Garon" with only one Mén main gun was able to hit the "Faith". Moreover, this shell hit the bridge of the "Faith" directly and killed everyone, including the captain. The "Faith" fell into the hunluàn. The near-lost bomb was equally amazing. It exploded less than ten meters away from the "Faith". The strong water pressure formed by the explosion directly tore a hole more than one meter long at the bow of the "Faith". Although the damage tube was controlled in time, it also caused the bow of the "Faith" to pour dozens of tons of sea water into the bow of the "Faith". The hull was tilted and the power was reduced by two or three knots.

"Damn!" McCain cursed. Although the "Faith" continued to fire, its power was damaged and it could not keep up with the speed of the battle line at all, and it would be eliminated in the end. At that time, the US 7th Fleet would have to face the five main ships of the French Fleet with three main ships, and would be even more in a weak position.

"Order, the 'Faith' breaks away from the line of battle and fights the enemy by yourself!" McCain issued an order. The situation is even more serious for the 7th Fleet of the United States.

"Good shot!" Bennett shouted when he saw the "Faith" suffered a severe blow. Although the Faith is still firing, his accuracy is no longer as accurate as before. For the French fleet, there is no more pressure.

"Concentrate artillery fire and turn to the next target! The Apostle!" Bennett ordered that the target of the next round of attacks was directly replaced by the 'flagship' of the US 7th Fleet.

"Order the destroyer formation to come and clean up the 'Faith'!" Chief of Staff Elliot suggested.

On other battlefields, the French fleet also maintained the upper hand. At present, several Franklin-class battleships and Washington-class battleships of the US 7th Fleet have been sunk.

The French fleet also paid the price that two bayonets were sunk and two dolphins were severely damaged.
