As the second ship of the Yamato-class battleship, the Musashi has a full load displacement of 72,000 tons. The main weapon is three triple-mounted 460mm cannons. .

In the previous battle, the Musashi cruised at the farthest end of the battlefield, shooting passionately with three US battleships led by Washington, and successfully injured the Indiana battleship.

The Musashi battleship cruised at the farthest end of the battlefield, not using comrades as flesh shields, hiding behind them, and fighting black cannons.

Instead, out of confidence in the performance of the nine main guns, he chose the most secure tactics, opened up the distance, and used his powerful main gun to kill the opponent's battleship one by one.

The 460mm main gun on the Musashi battleship can fire armor-piercing missiles weighing nearly 1.5 tons, with a maximum range of 42,000 meters.

With its surface hardened armor with a thickness of 410 mm, the Musashi can be called the world's number one battleship with its sister ship Yamato battleship.

After the battleship Musashi turned its target to Washington, the disaster of Washington came.

On the Washington, Major General Willis Lee's eyes were in the battlefield pattern, and the distribution of Japanese warships was very layered. The closest to him was the destroyer fleet, followed by the light cruiser, and behind the light cruiser was the King Kong-class battleship.

The one behind the King Kong-class battleship is the target he is looking for, the battleship that still has not found out its identity at this time.

A caliber of more than 400 mm is one of the Nagato-class battleships?

When Major General Li was thinking about his opponent's identity, another good news came.

"It hit again, it smokes."

From a distance, another Japanese battleship was hit, and the smoke columns rising from the hull rushed straight into the sky, connecting with the dense clouds. At first glance, it looked like a violent sea tornado.

"The starboard 70 degrees, and the starboard 70 degrees, and the torpedo was found."

"Right rudder, go forward at full speed." Captain Washington shouted.

The Washington turned around urgently, and two torpedoes quickly crossed over a distance of more than 60 meters on the starboard side.

Major General Li grabbed the railing and stabilized his body, and was not thrown out by the inertia caused by the sharp turn of the warship.

Just as he stood firm, Major General Li saw a warship riding the wind and waves on the sea ahead, rushing towards the bow of the USS Washington.

Major General Li squinted his eyes and identified for a few seconds, then snorted coldly: "A destroyer, what do it want to do?"

The releasers of the two torpedoes rushed towards Washington, and the destroyer rushed towards Washington, with a spirit of using itself as a torpedo.

The main gun of the ship Washington was pointed at starboard and could not bombard the oncoming destroyer.

"Right rudder ten, port side secondary gun is ready to sink it."

The Washington did not think it would suffer in the impact, but did not want to use this primitive tactic and turn the hull to the right again to provide the shooting angle for the port side's secondary gun.

At the last moment, the destroyer on the opposite side seemed to have given up the impact tactic and also prompted the bow of the ship to turn right at the critical moment.

The two warships passed by less than 200 meters.

"Dongdong"

A series of muffled sounds came, as if someone was hitting the steel plate of the bridge with a heavy hammer. Major General Li subconsciously shivered, and then looked at the left side of the safe and sound bridge.

When the two warships passed by, the Japanese destroyer mobilized all the weapons that could be used on the ship and opened fire on Washington frantically. The anti-aircraft gunboat shells were on the left side of the superstructure of the Washington, and the fire was splashed everywhere, and bullet marks were spread all over the hull.

The five-seat dual-mounted 127mm high-level dual-purpose guns on the port side of the Washington DC lowered the muzzle and fired back without hesitation.

After a mistake, the intensive bombs fell onto the destroyer, the chimney broke, and the left side of the bridge was torn by armor-piercing bombs.

After the two warships intersected, the upper floors of the destroyer were almost wiped out, leaving only the blazing flames.

Killing a destroyer, the Washington suffered only a small amount of damage.

However, the suicide attack of the destroyer forced the Washington to turn at high speed twice in a row, disrupting the rhythm of the main gun firing.

Major General Li had just recovered from the impact of the destroyer bombarding the bridge and was about to observe the situation again when a loud bang rang out from under his feet.

The floor under his feet shook violently, and Major General Li hurriedly grabbed the railing tightly, so he was not thrown out by the violent bumps.

Black smoke ejected from the hull on the right side of the turret No. 2, and it was obvious that it was the location of the shot.

"Turt No. 2, report the damage immediately."

Not long after, a reply from the second cabin came from the call tube.

"Four cabins are in water, the azimuth plate is damaged, and the No. 2 turret cannot rotate for the time being."

Not fatal, thank God!

Major General Li just thanked the ubiquitous God, and another violent shock came under his feet, and his body was swung and flew out.

When he stood up with the help of the adjutant, he found that the speed of the warship had slowed down with his keen feeling.

"Reported, two shots were shot on the starboard side, the first mechanical room was fired and rescued, the ship stalled, and the maximum speed was expected to drop to 23 knots."

"Report, USS Massachusetts reported that the warship was shot in the bridge, the captain was killed, and the warship lost command."

"Report, watch the post, another enemy battleship may be a Yamato-class battleship."

"It turned out to be Yamato, shit, how could Yamato appear here? Why didn't anyone notify us in advance?"

Three bad news came in a row, and Major General Li couldn't help but swear.

Major General Li decisively issued an order: "Get away immediately and release smoke."

If the battleship Washington was hit by Yamato-class guns for another round, there would probably never be a chance to fire again.

Although all three battleships were injured, they were not fatal. Looking at the other side, a King Kong-class battleship had been sunk, and the battle losses were better than our side.

After receiving the order from the flagship, the surviving US warships released smoke one after another, using the cover of smoke to distance themselves from the enemy.

The retreat was quite smooth, only the Massachusetts suffered two near-missile bombs and suffered minor injuries.

After a fierce battle of nearly half an hour, Major General Li quickly received the battle statistics, and his side destroyed one of the opponent's King Kong-class battleships, seriously injured one, and also destroyed one of the opponent's light cruisers and three destroyers.

Three battleships were injured, but none of them were fatal, and five destroyers and one light cruiser was lost.

"The enemy did not chase after him, they should be rescuing the crew members who fell into the water. What are we going to do below?" asked the captain Washington.

"First let the damage management department repair the ship and restore combat effectiveness, and then decide on the next step of action." Major General Li said.
