"His Excellency Commander, the Chinese battleships have been entangled by light cruisers and destroyers, and we must retreat immediately." Sir Frederick William Richards, Chief of Staff of the United Fleet, reminded. If you want to drag it until night

If they escape while the night is sunny, the distance between them and the battle lines of the Chinese Navy's local fleet must be increased to 30 nautical miles or even further.

"Order the fleet, turn immediately and return to India!" Sir Algeron McLennan Lyons, the commander of the United Fleet, glanced at the light cruisers and destroyers who were rushing towards the battleships of the Chinese Navy, and gave a retreat.

Order. Although such orders are very cruel to those British naval officers and soldiers serving on light cruisers and destroyers. However, in order to preserve the strength of the British navy and for the overall situation, there is no other way now.

Six British Navy battleships, under the escort of several light cruisers and destroyers, immediately began to turn to sail south, and their speed gradually increased to 17 knots. The maximum speed of the 'Magnificent Class' battleship was only 17.5.

It's just a festival, this is their limit.

The command of the Joint Fleet, Sir Algeron McLennan Lyons, was only given to the British Navy's warships, and the Russian Navy and the French Navy were deliberately forgotten by him. While abandoning those light cruisers and destroyers,

The Russian Navy and the French Navy are also among the abandoned ranks. In particular, the Russian Navy has mostly speeds of less than 15 knots, especially the 'Yekagerina II-class' battleships, which are only 13.5.

The speed of the festival is that when the Chinese Navy starts chasing, it will definitely attack these Russian battleships first. The British Navy will get some valuable time.

"His Excellency Grand Duke, the British turned, they were sailing south at high speed!" A Russian naval officer reported to the Russian naval marshal Alexandrovich in horror.

"What? These damn British guys, they actually ran away, and they actually left us. How could these damn British guys be so shameless?" The Grand Duke Alessandrovic, who found that he had been betrayed, was immediately furious and thunderous.

.

"I want to report these bastards. I want to send a telegram to His Majesty the Tsar!" Grand Duke Alessandrovic was furious. Now he felt like he was deceived. Originally, the Russian Navy joined the joint fleet, which was equivalent to helping.

The British Navy was in a big trouble. However, they were used as cannon fodder by the British in the naval battle and suffered heavy losses. Now the British actually left them behind, how could he accept this?

"Grand Duke, what should we do now?" The other Russian naval generals looked at Grand Duke Alessandrovic and waited for him to make a decision. There was no doubt that the British fled. The war had failed.

There is no possibility of fighting.

"What else can we do? We will retreat immediately! These damn British people, when they return to Russia, I will definitely not let them go!" Grand Duke Alexandrovic cursed viciously. However, this time he can

The possibility of escaping back to Russia is already very small. Now the remaining four battleships of the Russian Navy, two "Alexander II-class" battleships, the "Gangut" battleships and the "Three Saints" battleships, the highest

The speed is only 15 knots, and the maximum speed of two "Yekagerina II-class" battleships is only 13.5 knots. Once the Chinese Navy gets rid of those light cruisers and destroyers and starts a pursuit of them, it is impossible for them to do so.

Escape.

"Come, send a telegram to that guy Lyons and ask what they really want to do?" Grand Duke Alexandrovic ordered. At the same time, four battleships of the Russian Navy were also escorted by several light cruisers and destroyers.

, began to turn south. However, their speed was much slower than that of the British Navy.

A few minutes later, Sir Algeron McLennan Lyons, the commander of the United Fleet, called them back. The content of the telegram was very simple. In this naval battle, the United Fleet had already lost. Everyone should run away! However, the British Navy

Thanks to the Russian Navy for their rear guard.

"Bastard!" Grand Duke Alexandrovic roared angrily, tearing the telegram in his hand to pieces. The British not only deceived them, but also cheated them in the end. When they thought of the Chinese Navy catching up at high speed, they were all killed.

, the fate of the Russian Navy, Grand Duke Alessandrovic felt a cold rising from behind him, making him cold all over.

The French Navy's armored cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers, which were fighting against the Chinese navy, found that the British Navy and the Russian Navy retreated south, and realized that they had been fooled. Without saying a word, the remaining French Navy's warships immediately withdrew from the battlefield and began

Sailing south. Moreover, armored cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers had higher speeds, and soon they surpassed the Russian Navy, and the Russian Navy fell far behind. This grand duke of Alessandrovic was very angry.

At this moment, the Chinese Navy is attacking the British Navy's light cruisers and destroyers. These high-speed light cruisers and destroyers are a huge threat to the main battleships of the Chinese Navy. If they are approaching within two thousand meters,

These light cruisers and destroyers can launch torpedoes. The 450mm medium torpedo used in Europe has a speed of 30 knots and an effective range of about 2,000 meters. It is also a huge threat to the main battleships of the Chinese Navy.

"Commander, the main battleships of the Joint Fleet have all run away! They attempted to drag us with light cruisers and destroyers, and then take the opportunity to escape. These foreigners are so cunning!" On the bridge of the battleship "Qin Shihuang",

Lieutenant General Lie Haitao, chief of staff of the Chinese Navy's local fleet, said hatefully. If the last ten battleships of the Joint Fleet were allowed to escape, then the battle would not be so perfect.

"Don't worry, they can't escape. When we solve these light cruisers and destroyers, we will definitely catch up with them with our speed! Don't go, the battle on the 'Beijing-class' heavy cruiser will soon be

It's about to end. The maximum speed of the 'Beijing-class' heavy cruiser is 28 knots, which is not satisfied with their destroyers. I see how they can escape!" General Deng Shichang said disdainfully. The United Fleet is just trying to evacuate now.

It's too late, how could the Chinese Navy let them escape from the fat meat that reached their mouths?

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The battle on the sea was still very fierce. These British Navy light cruisers and destroyers were fearless in the rain of bullets and launched an attack on the Chinese Navy's battleships. Although there were constant warships.

They were sunk, but these British people seemed to be afraid of death at all.

Two British Navy destroyers rushed to less than 1,500 meters from the Battleship of the Yanhuang, although, the Battleship of the Yanhuang and a light cruiser and destroyer that protected it, against the two British Navy's

The destroyer launched a fierce bombardment, and the dense shells destroyed the superstructures of the two destroyers to an incredible state. However, the two destroyers took the opportunity to launch torpedoes. 6 torpedoes and rushed towards the high speed of 30 knots.

The battleship "Yanhuang" was launched.

"Right full rudder!" The commander of the battleship "Yanhuang" immediately began to evade. The battleship began to turn, intending to aim the incoming torpedo with the bow of the ship to reduce the area under attack. At the same time, the rapid-fire cannon on the battleship

, also opened fire at the torpedoes, hoping to have a chance to those torpedoes.

"Boom! Boom!" The dense shells shot at the torpedoes, but the results achieved were very limited.

The battleship "Yanhuang" successfully lost three torpedoes and two torpedoes. However, the last torpedo could not escape. This torpedo hit the port side of the battleship "Yanhuang".

A hole less than one meter below the line was blown up. The underwater armor of the 'Chinese-class' battleship was also lightning-proofed, and a medium-sized torpedo was not fatal.

The damage managers on the battleship "Yanhuang" immediately dealt with. After finding that the gap could not be blocked, they immediately closed the nearby watertight compartment. The sea water poured into the battleship "Yanhuang" reached hundreds of tons, causing the ship to

The body was slightly tilted. Although it was not fatal, its combat power was greatly affected.

"Let the battleship of the 'Yanhuang' come to the Beihai Shipyard for repair!" General Deng Shichang ordered with a cold face. The battleship of the 'Yanhuang' became the first battleship of the Chinese Navy to be severely damaged in this naval battle.

Subsequently, the British Navy's light cruisers and destroyers had no chance again. Until 1:30 pm, all light cruisers and destroyers were sunk except for a few of them evacuated in advance.

"Order the fleet to maintain a speed of 22 knots and pursue the battleships of the fleeing fleeing fleet. They must not be allowed to escape!" Admiral Deng Shichang issued the order to pursue. At the same time, the heavy cruiser of the Chinese Navy also sank the British Navy's

The armored cruisers and the "Admiral-class" battleship paid the price of the heavy cruiser "Tianjin" being severely injured and the heavy cruiser "Changsha" being slightly injured. The remaining six heavy cruisers were all involved in the pursuit battle.

At this moment, the Russian Navy is closest to the Chinese Navy. At the high speed of 28 knots of heavy cruisers, they can catch up with them in two hours.

At 3 pm, the six heavy cruisers of the Chinese Navy were less than 15 kilometers away from the four battleships of the Russian Navy, which scared the Russian Navy.

"Come on, prepare the white flag, and after the Chinese Navy catches up, we will surrender! Those damn British guys want us to resist the Chinese for them, and then they run away by themselves, no way! If you want to die, everyone will die together!" The Russian Navy

Marshal Alessandrovic's face was full of resentment.
