Although the British warships tried their best to dodge, of course they did not know how to dodge. Many large warships used evasion methods to dodge. Of course, it was impossible to avoid evading the ** shot. Of course, in this era, it was impossible to avoid modern escalating strikes. Therefore, the British warships hit the target one after another, and the British warships were successively shot and exploded and caught fire. As a result, five majestic battleships and four Duncan-class battleships were all shot in turn, and none of them were spared.

The new round of ** attacks not only severely damaged 5 majestic battleships and 4 Duncan-class battleships, but also completely destroyed the last courage of the British and French fleets. The scale of this time, Bijing's ** strike was too large, lasting nearly 10 minutes. At most, more than a dozen **s appeared in the sky in the same frame. Of course, people of this era could not distinguish the differences between cruise, anti-ship, and air defense, so they only felt that there were so many **s this time, which was more than the previous two times.

Moreover, this time, he attacked 9 battleships in one breath, including four Duncan-class battleships. When they were attacked, almost the entire warship was covered by explosions, which had a great visual impact.

After this round of ** attacks, the French fleet was the first to be afraid. After all, this attack was too terrible. There was no way to continue this battle. No one had seen this style of fighting before, and of course he didn't know how to deal with it. And by this time almost all British battleships were hit by this kind of attack from the sky, so the target of the next round of attacks must be the French fleet. Even if the French were proud, they could not ignore their lives. If they did not run away at this time, they would have to wait for the beating. So the fleet commander Ginoer ordered the retreat.

In fact, at this time, the British fleet also wanted to retreat. After all, until now, the British fleet could not withstand it, but they rushed too far. They had already traded fire with the People's Army's battleships at close range, and they couldn't retreat even if they wanted to.

Of course, this is also intentional by the People's Army's battleships. At the same time as the third round of ** attacks, the People's Army's battleship team took advantage of this opportunity to narrow the distance between the two sides to within 5,000 meters. Before the ** was stopped, it was like the British fleet launching an attack.

Moreover, the battleship team also made adjustments at this time. Instead of fighting in the form of a whole team, it was divided into three groups, including Gan Jiang and Mo Ye as a group, attacking 5 Magnificent Class battleships; Wei Yang and Fu Yang as a group, attacking 4 Duncan-class battleships; Bo Yang and Fei Yang as a group, attacking only two remaining fear-class battleships.

Of course, the number of British battleships still had an absolute advantage at this time. Although each warship suffered heavy damage, if both sides really did their best, the six battleships of the People's Army may not be the opponent. Moreover, judging from the situation of the match, only the Boyang and Feiyang group were the most relaxed, because the two fierce-class battleships they faced were severely damaged, so there was no need for support, but the other two groups had to fight against 4 and 5 battleships respectively. Even if they were defeated, they would inevitably pay a heavy price.

But of course the Kunming ship would not sit idly by, so it first launched an Eagle Strike 18** to attack the Hannibal, the Majestic Class battleship. This battleship is the best in the five Majestic Classes, with four main guns basically intact, and naturally became the first target to attack. As a result, the Eagle Strike 18** was used to crossing directly from the deck in the middle of the warship and exploded in the cabin, causing cracks and water to enter on both sides of the warship. The damage managers on the warship had no time to rush to ask for it, so they could only watch the warship sink.

The Kunming ship then fired two 9**s of the Exmouth, one of the Duncan-class battleships, hitting the front deck, destroying the front main gun, while the other hitting the rear deck, causing the rear main gun to be unable to rotate, and also damage the tail rudder and propeller, causing the warship to completely lose its combat effectiveness.

At the same time, the Xiangyang ship also launched four consecutive Eagle Strikes 83** to attack the armored cruisers Bedford, Donegal, the protective cruiser Terror, the Majesty, and the Eagle Strikes 83** are slightly stronger than the Sea Red Flag 9**. However, because it is a sea-skipping anti-ship **, it can only attack the side of the warship, so it is not suitable for attacking battleships, but it is very suitable to attack cruisers. After all, even if it is an armored cruiser, the armor thickness and coverage area are far lower than that of the battleships. Moreover, the British armored cruisers have never been known for their defense.

As a result, these four shots hit the side of the target warship, and each exploded a large hole in the side of the target warship. The slightly different one is that the holes of the two armored cruisers are smaller, while the holes of the two protective cruisers are much larger. The sea water desperately pours back into the four warships from the entrance, and the soldiers in the warship are not willing to abandon the ship and flee, and they are struggling to block the gap.

Originally, the British warships had no intention of fighting. Seeing that the People's Army had issued a warship at this time, and now they even fought cruisers. They dared to continue fighting there. They turned around to withdraw without caring about fighting with the People's Army's battleships. There were still many people who were complaining in their hearts, why did the People's Army Navy seize the British fleet and refused to let go? They were all attacking the British fleet. Why didn't they attack the French fleet?

Of course, the People's Army's battleships would not miss such an opportunity. Ganjiang and Moye concentrated their firepower and bombarded the Majestic. They shot two consecutive rounds of volleys, hitting 5 main artillery shells in total. Originally, the Majestic was hit by 2 Haihongqi 9** and was seriously injured. But just now, they were hit by Ganjiang, but now they have been hit by 5 guns in a row. The hull was blown open and three large holes were in the water. It was still able to withstand it. Captain McManaman had to order all the crew to abandon the ship and escape.

After sinking the Kewei, Gan Jiang and Mo Xie targeted Mars again. Although Mars had completed its turn and wanted to escape the battlefield, it was firmly clamped by Gan Jiang and Mo Xie, one left and one right, and could not get rid of it. During the fierce battle, the only remaining main gun of Mars was also destroyed. The entire deck was almost completely cleaned and the propeller was broken. Not only did it completely lose its combat power, but it was also unable to move on the sea.

However, Jupiter, the other two majestic battleships, took advantage of this opportunity to finally distance themselves from the People's Army battleships and temporarily set off the People's Army's pursuit.

In another group, the Duncan-class battleship Russell's hull had water inflows of more than 800 tons, and the waterline had sink nearly 1 meter overall, with a sharp reduction in speed. Therefore, the two warships Duncan and Albermar used to "stay themselves" to sacrifice themselves and let the other two warships escape. The captains of the other two warships also knew that they could not hesitate at this time, otherwise the three warships would not be able to escape, so they threw off Russell, accelerated their escape from the battlefield, and gave the Russell the banner of "The Royal Navy is always with you."

Russell struggled to stop the Weiyang and Fuyang, and approached and fired, trying his best to hold the two warships. As a result, under the joint attack of the Weiyang and Fuyang, Russell carried it for less than 20 minutes, and the ammunition depot was hit and exploded. After 30 minutes, the warship sank into the sea. However, the sacrifice of Russell was not worthless. Duncan and Albermar also escaped from the battlefield.

Whether it is the Magnificent Class or the Duncan Class, there are two warships temporarily escaped from the People's Army's pursuit. There are only two warships, the Kweichow, the Kweichow, the Resistance, but they cannot escape because these two warships were firmly entangled by the Feiyang and Boyang, one ship to another.

Originally, the Fear-class battleship was the second only to the Edward VII class in the British fleet. Under normal circumstances, the Flying and Boyang can be turned into sieves. Unfortunately, these two warships are also the most severely damaged among the British battleships. There is only one main gun left for each of the two warships, and nearly half of the secondary guns are lost. A large amount of water is also injected into the ship, both speed and maneuverability are greatly reduced. Therefore, not only can the Feiyang but the Boyang cannot defeat it, and they cannot even escape.

After a fierce battle, the Kewei was sunk, and the Rebellion completely lost its combat power and floated on the sea without any resistance. Of course, the Feiyang and Boyang also suffered a lot of shells. Fortunately, they were basically small and medium-caliber artillery artillery, with the largest being only 152 mm. Therefore, although the damage was not light, it was not damaged yet.

While the battleships of both sides were fighting fiercely, the People's Army's armored cruisers, protective cruisers and destroyers also fought with the same type of British warships. Therefore, British battleships could not receive support from other warships, otherwise at least 2 or 3 more battleships would be escaped.

During the previous battle between the People's Army fleet and the British fleet, the People's Army fleet sank the armored cruiser Abkir, the protective cruiser Blenheim, the Royal Arthur, the Crescent, and five destroyers in the British fleet; while the British armored cruiser Birthday Priest, the protective cruiser Blake and Grafton drove to Kaohsiung to moor.

Later, the Xiangyang ship launched 4 more eagle strikes, which may cause the sank to lose combat effectiveness, including the armored cruisers Bedford, Donegal, the protective cruiser Terror, and the mighty man. Therefore, at this time, the British fleet had only 4 armored cruisers, 3 protective cruisers, and 17 destroyers left.

Now in the People's Army fleet, there are 4 armored cruisers, 11 protective cruisers and 6 destroyers, which not only basically level the number of secondary warships on both sides, but also have certain advantages in quality and performance. After all, protective cruisers are stronger than destroyers in any case. The combat effectiveness of the two armored cruisers of the People's Army fleet is far better than that of the four armored cruisers in the current British fleet. Therefore, the People's Army fleet can be said to have considerable advantages.
