Tsarist Empire: Please call me His Majesty the Tsar Chapter 1189

"If the battleship formation retreats now, can our Casablanca-class escort carriers escape the pursuit of the Russian main fleet?" Admiral Nimitz asked.

Vice Admiral Spruance shook his head: "Commander, although the Russian battleships are not very fast. However, their cruisers and destroyers have a speed of more than 30 knots. Even the maximum speed of the destroyer can reach 38 knots. Once we only have the Casablanca-class escort carriers left, they will definitely die."

Such an answer inevitably made Admiral Nimitz hesitate.

Even now, he didn’t want to give up these Casablanca-class escort carriers.

However, the further deterioration of the situation soon helped him make a choice.

"Commander, emergency. We found that a large number of Russian battleships are approaching us. The seaplane confirmed that it was a Russian battlecruiser. It is only more than 30 kilometers away from us!" An officer reported anxiously.

"What? How could this happen?" Admiral Nimitz’s face suddenly changed.

When the Russians dispatched a large number of battleships to besiege the battleships of the Lighthouse Navy, they were able to dispatch another battlecruiser formation to deal with their aircraft carrier formation.

It can be seen that the Russians already have an absolute advantage in battleships.

But this is not good news for the Lighthouse Navy!

The carrier-based aircraft on these aircraft carriers have almost been lost. Naturally, there is no threat to the Russian battlecruiser formation. However, once the Russian battlecruiser formation gets close, their aircraft carrier formation will be miserable! If things go wrong, they will be completely destroyed by the Russians.

"Order all ships to speed up and retreat to the mainland immediately. The main battleship formation should also retreat immediately and break away from the Russians!" Admiral Nimitz made a quick decision.

At this time, he could no longer care about the Casablanca-class escort carriers. He couldn’t sacrifice the entire fleet for these escort carriers. If so, the Lighthouse Navy would probably lose miserably in this battle.

"Yes, Commander!" Vice Admiral Spruance replied.

But unfortunately, it was too late. The Russian Empire Navy finally seized this opportunity, and naturally would not let the Lighthouse people go so easily.

Vice Admiral Yakovkov, the commander of the Russian Empire Navy’s battlecruiser formation, quickly issued an order.

“Four Mackensen-class battlecruisers, with a group of heavy cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers, will deal with the Casablanca-class escort aircraft carriers of the Lighthouse. The rest of the warships will attack the Essex-class aircraft carriers of the Lighthouse. We must seize the opportunity and kill as many of the Lighthouse’s aircraft carriers as possible. If we can kill all of these Lighthouse’s aircraft carriers, then we will win this battle."It’s settled!" Lieutenant General Yakovkov ordered.

"Yes, General!" The communications officer replied.

After Lieutenant General Yakovkov’s order was issued, the battlecruiser formation of the Russian Empire Navy quickly began to attack the aircraft carrier formation of the Lighthouse People.

And the aircraft carrier formation of the Lighthouse People accelerated to escape.

However, the maximum speed of those Casablanca-class escort aircraft carriers was only 18 knots. So they simply escaped when facing the attack of the battlecruiser formation of the Russian Empire Navy.

At the same time, the displacement of these Casablanca-class escort aircraft carriers was only 10,000 Tons only.

With a small displacement, the defense is naturally not that strong.

Not to mention the battlecruiser, even the 105mm main gun of the destroyer can severely damage it or even sink it.

This makes the Casablanca-class escort aircraft carriers of the Lighthouse people almost completely become the target of slaughter by the battlecruiser formations of the Tsarist Russian Navy.

On the contrary, the maximum speed of the Essex-class aircraft carriers can reach 32 knots. This speed is even faster than that of the Tsarist Russian Navy. The battlecruisers of the Russian Empire are even faster than those of the Russian Empire. If you are lucky, you can definitely escape. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

However, the battlecruisers of the Russian Empire Navy are not only battlecruisers, but also heavy cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers. The speed of these battleships is faster than the Essex-class aircraft carriers of the Lighthouse Country.

This makes these Essex-class aircraft carriers unable to escape either.

Of course, the Lighthouse Country Navy also There are also some cruisers and destroyers to provide protection for these Essex-class aircraft carriers. However, in terms of quantity, they cannot be compared with the cruisers and destroyers of the Russian Empire Navy.

What’s more, the battlecruisers of the Russian Empire Navy are not vegetarians. Whether it is 410mm main guns or 380mm main guns, they can easily destroy these cruisers and destroyers of the Lighthouse Country. So that the Essex-class aircraft carriers of the Lighthouse Country Navy can’t escape even if they want to!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The battlecruiser formation of the Russian Empire Navy, various types of warships began to fire frantically, launching a fierce attack on the aircraft carriers of the Lighthouse People.

One after another, the shells hit the aircraft carriers fiercely.

Although, aircraft carriers have replaced battleships and become the main force of naval battles.

However, when the carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier are completely lost, the aircraft carrier becomes a toothless tiger. Not to mention, it is also approached by the enemy’s warships. Then, the aircraft carrier is naturally in a complete crisis.

Under such circumstances, the aircraft carriers of the Lighthouse People were beaten and fled, and they could not resist the Russian attack at all.

Even if the displacement of those Essex-class aircraft carriers exceedsThirty thousand tons. However, once it is hit by a shell, it will also be severely damaged. Even more, if the power system is damaged, or the warship takes on too much water, causing the warship’s speed to drop. Then, it is a dead end!

In this case, the battlecruisers of the Russian Empire Navy will be able to surpass in speed. With the 410mm or 380mm main guns of these battlecruisers, it is easy to send the Essex-class aircraft carriers of the Lighthouse Country to the bottom of the sea.

This makes the Lighthouse Country Navy’s aircraft carrier formation almost in a desperate situation. .
