    "Very good! Keep turning. The next target is the battleship 'Rostislav'." Admiral Deng Shichang was very satisfied with the performance of the Chinese Navy.  Up to now, the Navy's battleships have sunk four battleships of the Combined Fleet. In addition to the 7 battleships sunk by the submarine force and the two battleships severely damaged, the Combined Fleet has lost 13 battleships.  Although, it is still twice as large as the battleships of the Chinese Navy.  But one against two, the winner is definitely the Chinese Navy.

    The Chinese Navy continued to turn and formed a second battle line facing the Russian Navy's combined fleet. However, the distance between the two sides was still 10,000 meters.  The battleships of the Russian Navy also began to fight back.  However, their artillery level is not even comparable to that of the British Navy, and cannot be compared with the Chinese Navy.  When firing at a distance of 10,000 meters, the nearest impact point is nearly 300 meters away.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" After turning around, the Chinese navy and the Russian navy passed by each other.  All the main guns of the Chinese Navy were aimed at the battleship "Rostislav" that was at the front after the sinking of the battleship "Petropavlovsk".  The dense artillery shells spanned a distance of tens of thousands of meters and violently hit the battleship "Rostislav".

    The cannonballs, one after another, hit the sea hard with a sharp whistle that cut through the air, splashing up columns of water.  The entire battleship "Rostislav" was almost surrounded inside, and the situation was quite threatening.

    On the sea, Grand Admiral Alexandrovich of the Russian Navy was preparing to take a transport boat to the battleship "Rostislav".  However, upon seeing the battleship 'Rostislav', it was surrounded by intensive artillery fire.  He immediately changed direction.  Order the traffic boat to go to the battleship "Three Saints" behind.  obviously.  He also does not believe that the battleship "Rostislav" can withstand the fierce attack of the Chinese navy.

    9:50.  In this salvo, the battleship "Rostislav" was hit. This was a shell fired from the battleship "Zhonghua".  The shell hit the stern of the battleship "Rostislav" and overturned the main gun at the stern.

    The two teams of battleships passed each other at high speed, which caused a lot of trouble for the bombardment.  But in general, the Chinese Navy still exerts a very strong combat effectiveness.  Of course, this is not a good thing for the Russian Navy.

    9:58.  A shell fired from the battleship "Shenzhou" hit the battleship "Rostislav" again.  This shell killed the battleship "Rostislav".  The bow of the battleship "Rostislav" was hit, and the shell penetrated the armor outside the ammunition depot at a tricky angle.  Dozens of shells in the ammunition depot were detonated, and the huge power directly blew the entire capital of the battleship "Rostislav" into pieces.  A large amount of seawater poured into the battleship, and the bow of the battleship "Rostislav" was completely buried in the seawater.  soon.  The entire battleship sank to the bottom of the sea with the bow down and the stern up.

    The transport boat carried by Grand Duke Alexandrovich, Marshal of the Russian Navy.  He happened to pass through that area of ????the sea and witnessed the sinking of the battleship "Rostislav" with his own eyes. This made him stunned and at the same time, his heart was filled with fear.  So far in the battle, not a single battleship of the Chinese Navy has been sunk, or even seriously damaged. It has only suffered a few minor injuries. However, the combined fleet has sunk countless battleships. If this continues,  No matter how many battleships there are in the combined fleet, they cannot withstand being sunk!

    "Is this expedition to China really a mistake? If I had known earlier, I would not have come to compete for this position. It would be great to stay in Moscow and enjoy the blessings!" Grand Duke Alexandrovich couldn't help but think this way.  However, there is no such thing as regret medicine in the world.

    "Haha! Another one was sunk, very good! Use full left rudder, keep a balance with the Russian battleships, and sink as many battleships as possible before the British navy comes over!" Admiral Deng Shichang said very happily.  Nothing seems more wonderful now than being sunk one battleship after another.  Watching enemy ships continue to be sunk, this shows that the Chinese navy's status in the world is rapidly improving.  This is something General Deng Shichang is very willing to see.

    The Chinese Navy's battleship turned at high speed on the sea, drew a semicircle, changed its course from east to west, kept parallel to the Russian Navy's battleship, and then prepared to launch an attack on the Russian Navy's battleship.  Among the combined fleets, the Russian Navy is undoubtedly a soft persimmon. Killing the Russian Navy first will help the Chinese Navy start the next battle.

    As soon as Grand Duke Alexandrovich stepped onto the battleship "Three Saints", he saw the Chinese NavyHe had completed the turn and rushed up at high speed.  The ferocious muzzles of the cannons made Grand Duke Alexandrovich feel cold in his heart.

    "Damn it, do those Chinese really think we are easy to bully? Why are they always targeting us?" Grand Duke Alexandrovich was very aggrieved.  With the sinking of the battleships Petropavlovsk and Rostislav, there were only five battleships left in the Russian Navy. They were lost less than four hours after the battle began.  Half of the battleships were destroyed. How could he explain this to His Majesty the Tsar?

    "What are those damn British guys doing? Do they want us to fight alone?" Grand Duke Alexandrovich was very dissatisfied.  In his opinion, if the British had not urged them to join the battle, the Russian navy would not have suffered such huge losses.

    "Your Excellency, Fleet Commander Sir Algernon MacLennan Lyons called us and asked us to join them and form a battle line with the remaining battleships to confront the Chinese Navy!" A staff officer held a telegram.  Said to Grand Duke Alexandrovich.

    "Asshole! Order the fleet to speed up and move closer to the British fleet!" Grand Duke Alexandrovich said helplessly.  Now, there is no other way. The Chinese navy relies on its absolute speed to launch an overwhelming attack on them.  If it acts alone, the final result will only be that it will be eliminated step by step by the Chinese navy.  However, the Russian Navy's speed of 13.5 knots is indeed very speechless.

    Fortunately, the British fleet is also arriving quickly. Otherwise, after the Chinese Navy seizes the opportunity, the Russian Navy will definitely lose one or two battleships.

    At 10:30 in the morning, the British fleet and the Russian fleet merged together, forming a battle line composed of 12 battleships.  However, in order to maintain the formation, the speed of the battle line was also reduced to 12 knots.  The 12 battleships are four more than the battle line composed of the Chinese Navy's home fleet.  However, in terms of the number of main guns, the Chinese Navy has the advantage.  The United Fleet attempts to rely on this tactic to fight an open naval battle with the Chinese Navy.

    "Commander, what should we do now? The British and Russians have converged. If we continue to fight, we will have to face 12 enemy battleships at once!" said Lieutenant General Li Haitao, Chief of Staff of the Chinese Navy's Home Fleet.  In the previous battles, the Chinese Navy had always used its high speed to throw away the battleships of another part of the combined fleet, and launched an attack on the remaining battleships with an overwhelming advantage.

    "Are we afraid of them if we fight a naval battle openly and openly? Let them see the true strength of the Chinese navy!" Admiral Deng Shichang said confidently.  The navy today is completely different from before.  So far in the battle, not a single battleship of the Chinese Navy has suffered any damage. At most, some battleships have only suffered minor injuries, which does not affect the battle.  On the other hand, the battleships of the Combined Fleet were constantly being sunk.  If this continues, the naval battle will be over soon.

    At 10:50 a.m., the battle line composed of 8 battleships of the Chinese Navy was in a parallel position with the battle line composed of 12 battleships of the Combined Fleet.  The two sides were 11 kilometers apart. Although the combined fleet wanted to shorten the fighting distance by turning, their attempt could not succeed at all.  Fighting at this distance has a great advantage for the Chinese navy.  Of course they won't let this advantage go away.

    "Boom! Boom!" The roar of artillery fire rang out on the sea, and the shells roared towards the opponent's battleships. Although there were four fewer ships in number, the entire battlefield showed a one-sided advantage.  The Chinese Navy firmly occupies a favorable position.

    In the naval battle, four 'Qin-class' battleships each fought against two combined fleet battleships, namely the battleship 'Qin Shihuang' against the battleship 'Victory' and the battleship 'Jupiter', and the battleship 'Prince Fusu' against 'Hanni'  The battleship "Ba" and the battleship "Mars", the battleship "Qin II" vs. the battleship "Caesar" and the battleship "Vita", the battleship "Qin III" vs. the battleship "Bafleur" and "Gangu"  The battleship No. 1.  The four 'Zhonghua-class' battleships are one-on-one with the remaining four battleships of the combined fleet, namely the battleship 'Zhonghua' vs. the battleship 'Three Saints', and the battleship 'Yanhuang' vs. 'Ekaterina II'.  The battleship Shi', the battleship Huaxia versus the battleship Georgi Pobedonosetz, the battleship Shenzhou versus the battleship Sinop.
