    A 305mm main gun shell hit the front deck of the battleship Discord, tearing open the weak armor on the front deck of the battleship Discord, and blasting a big hole.  Shrapnel flew across the sky, killing many British naval soldiers on the front deck.  However, it did not cause fatal damage to the battleship Discord.

    However, the misfortune of the battleship Discord did not end there.  In Edward?  After Admiral Simo gave the order to turn.  The battleship 'Discord' also began to turn.  However, the staff officers on the battleship Discord put forward different opinions.  Now, the battleship "Discord" is facing the enemy from the bow. Although it is besieged by the Chinese Navy, the bomb-hit area is small. If it turns, its side will be exposed to the Chinese Navy, and the bomb-hit area will be greatly increased.  By then, the battleship 'Discord' will be hit even more severely.

    However, in the end, the captain of the battleship Discord gave the order to turn.  Only after turning around can we launch a fierce counterattack, instead of being passively beaten like now.

    The battle lines of the British and American navies began to turn.  And be prepared to launch a counterattack after turning around.  However, this ruined the battleship Discord.  After the battleship "Discord" began to turn, its wide side was revealed under the muzzle of the Chinese Navy's guns. This gave the Chinese Navy an excellent opportunity!

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" In the third round of salvos, seven battleships of the Chinese Navy and fifty-six main guns fired intensive artillery fire at the battleship "Discord".

    "Boom! Boom!" The battleship 'Discord', which was turning, shook violently.  In this round of salvo, the battleship "Discord" received two shells.

    ¡°Report the loss!¡± The captain of the battleship Discord asked loudly after getting up from the ground in embarrassment.

    "One hit in the middle of the ship, and the port main gun will be destroyed! One hit in the stern, and the rear deck is on fire!" Damage control personnel quickly rescued the damaged warship.  However, the fire at the stern of the ship was difficult to extinguish.  At the same time, the main gun on the port side was destroyed, reducing the combat power of the 'Discord' by a quarter!  However, the 'Discord' has no chance to fight back!

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The Chinese Navy fired its fourth salvo a minute later.  This salvo completely ended the battleship 'Discord'.  In this round of salvos, three shells hit the battleship Discord.

    The first shell hit the bridge of the battleship "Discord". The shell tore open the armor of the bridge of the battleship "Discord" from the left side.  The armor of the bridge of the battleship "Discord" is only 280 mm, which cannot stop the armor-piercing projectiles fired by the Chinese Navy's 305 mm naval gun.  The shell exploded in the bridge, killing all the officers inside, including the captain.  The second shell hit the amidships of the battleship Discord. The shell tore through the central armor of the battleship Discord and penetrated the boiler room.  The large oil-fired boiler in the boiler room was damaged, and high-temperature steam leaked from the boiler, killing all the dozens of British naval soldiers in the boiler room instantly!  At the same time, a boiler room was destroyed, causing the battleship Discord's speed to drop by half.  The most fatal blow came with the third shell.  The third shell hit the port side of the battleship Discord.  The shell exploded at the waterline. The fragile side armor could not withstand the bombardment of the 305mm armor-piercing projectile. It was easily torn open with a gap of several meters long, and the seawater surged into the battleship 'Discord'.  middle.  The damage control personnel on the battleship "Discord" immediately carried out rescue operations.  However, it was soon announced that the rescue had failed.  A large amount of seawater entered the battleship Discord under huge pressure, and the damage control personnel were unable to plug the leaks.

    At this moment, the fifth salvo of the Chinese Navy began.  In this round of salvo, two shells once again hit the bow and amidships of the battleship 'Discord'.  A small piece was cut off from the bow of the battleship 'Discord'.  But luckily it was above the waterline and no water entered.  The second shell hit the chimney at the back of the battleship "Discord". The entire chimney fell down, damaging many superstructures. At the same time, poisonous smoke filled the boiler room, killing all the British naval soldiers inside.  Kill.  At the same time, the battleship 'Discord' also completely lost power.  A large amount of water poured in from the left side, causing the hull of the battleship Discord to begin to tilt.  The sinking of the battleship Discord is only a matter of time!

    "Haha! Well done, just like that, send all the British battleships to the bottom of the sea! Turn right 30 degrees, prepare to go around in front of the British, do it again!" Lieutenant General Li Haitao, commander of the Indian Ocean Fleet, said excitedly.

    "General, the Discord is over. The chief mate of the Discord sent a telegram requesting to abandon the ship!" A staff officer asked Edward?  Admiral Seamus reported.

    "Damn it"??Allow them to abandon ship!  "Edward? Admiral Seamus's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. The battle had just begun. Before the British and American navies launched an attack, a battleship was sunk by the Chinese navy. This greatly damaged the already powerful force.  The British Navy, which only has four battleships left, is very sad. Now, there are only three battleships left. I don't know how many will be left after this naval battle is over!

    On the U.S. Navy battleship ¡®Connecticut-class¡¯ battleship, U.S. Navy Admiral Benson also looked a little unhappy.  Originally, he thought that there would be a great chance of winning this battle.  But now it seems that things are not what he imagined!  The Chinese navy is not without the power to fight back, but it fights very well!  Could it be that, in just ten years, the Chinese can really develop from a weak navy to a world-class naval power?

    The battleship 'Discord' gradually tilted to the left. Five minutes later, it rolled over on the sea and then slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.  Of the more than 700 naval soldiers on the battleship, less than 200 successfully escaped. The rest were all brought to the bottom of the sea by the sinking battleship!

    "Continue to turn and close the distance with those yellow-skinned monkeys!" Edward?  Seamus, bravely issued the order.  After the battleship Discord was sunk, the leading battleship was already the battleship Majestic.

    However, the Chinese Navy did not give the British and American navies this opportunity.  After sinking the battleship Discord, the Chinese navy used high speed to widen the distance between the two sides. At the same time, it began to turn in the same direction as the battle line of the British and American navies.  Trying to seize the T prefix again, repeat the tactics just now, and once again send a British Navy battleship to the bottom of the sea.

    At 12:30, the Chinese navy turned again and headed southeast. The fleet sailed at a speed of 22 knots, preparing to insert in front of the British and American naval battle lines, and use this opportunity to besiege the British and American naval battle lines.  HMS Majestic' battleship.

    Edward?  Admiral Simo issued the turning order in time, keeping the entire battle line parallel to the Chinese Navy and not giving them the chance to seize the T-letter.  At the same time, the direct distance between the two sides remained at 15 kilometers, which gave the British and American navies no chance to counterattack.  The naval guns of the British and American navies are 305 mm, 45 times the caliber, and the maximum range is only 14 kilometers.  There is nothing we can do about the Chinese navy 15 kilometers away.  The range of the Chinese Navy's main gun has reached 16 kilometers.  However, firing at this distance is simply impossible to hit the target, and it is a complete waste of shells.

    The Chinese Navy is single-mindedly trying to slowly reverse its current disadvantage by seizing the T prefix.  But the British and American navies tried their best to avoid such a thing from happening.  The two sides kept turning and chasing each other on the sea, but failed to find a suitable opportunity.  The naval battle has reached a stalemate!  However, the Chinese Navy still has an advantage due to its high speed!

    "Those yellow-skinned monkeys are so shameless. Can't they fight us openly?" Edward?  Admiral Seamus couldn't help but curse.  This tactic adopted by the Chinese undoubtedly made the British and American navies very frustrated.  They have a numerical advantage, but they are unable to use it. Instead, they have to be careful to avoid falling into the Chinese trap.  This made all the British and American naval officers and soldiers very angry!

    At 1 o¡¯clock in the afternoon, the Chinese Navy once again grabbed the T prefix.  Although, the British and American navies responded quickly and began to turn desperately to close the distance between the two sides in an attempt to launch a counterattack.  However, the Chinese Navy still gained valuable opportunities to fire three salvos.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The dense artillery shells fiercely bombarded the British Navy's "Majestic" battleship, and columns of water soared into the sky, erupting on the sea around the "Majestic".  This time, the battleship "Majestic" learned the lesson of the battleship "Discord" and did not turn. It still faced the enemy with its bow.  However, the eight battleships at the back of the British and American naval battle lines began to turn and quickly moved toward the Chinese Navy.

    "Boom!" A 305mm main gun shell hit the front main gun of the battleship "Zhengma".  Under the action of huge kinetic energy, the armor-piercing projectiles tore through the turret armor of the front main gun and overturned the entire main gun.  Fortunately, the fire door under the main gun was not penetrated, and the dozens of artillery shells below were not exploded.  Otherwise, the battleship "Majestic" will follow the fate of the battleship "Discord".

    However, in the ensuing battle, a shell destroyed the chimney in front of the battleship Sovereign.  This immediately reduced the speed of the battleship "Majestic" to 10 knots, and it could no longer follow the battle line!  (To be continued.
