    "Captain, the British won't surrender! Are we going to attack them?" a communications officer reported to Brigadier General Ge Chunlin!

    "Hmph! You dare to speak harshly when you are about to die. Do those British guys really think of us as battlecruisers? Open fire and teach those British guys a lesson!" Brigadier General Ge Chunlin said coldly.  Although the British Navy still has five battleships, two Iron Duke class battleships, two King George V class battleships, and one Giant class battleship, and another

    ¡®The battleship Queen Elizabeth has basically lost its combat effectiveness, and its combat effectiveness is almost negligible!  The British regarded the Chinese Navy's Hanxin class as a battlecruiser, so they turned a deaf ear to Brigadier General Ge Chunlin's warning.

    "Yes, Captain!" The communications officer immediately turned around and gave the order.

    Soon, the six battlecruisers that had formed a battle line began to turn their guns and aim at the British battleship 10,000 meters away.  The thick 343mm gun barrel looked so ferocious under the afterglow of the setting sun!

    "General, the Chinese are ready to fire on us!" On the battleship Marlborough, the British naval officer who observed the reaction of the Chinese fleet immediately called John.  Germany.  Admiral Roback reported!

    "Hmph! Those damn yellow-skinned monkeys, do you think they can defeat us with just a few battlecruisers? Order the ships to prepare to fight back and let the Chinese know how powerful we are! Let them know that the Royal Navy is invincible!" John  £®  Germany.  Admiral Roback replied loudly. He was scared to death by the Chinese Navy's carrier-based aircraft force before, but now in front of the Chinese Navy's battlecruiser formation, he seems to be regaining his confidence!

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" At 6:55 pm, the battleship 'Han Xin' opened fire first, and the target was the battleship 'Marlborough,' the current flagship of the British fleet.  The three triple-mounted 343mm main guns fired at the same time, with red flames shining at the muzzles. Under the action of huge kinetic energy, the armor-piercing projectiles weighing more than 600 kilograms wanted to hit the battleship Marlborough 10,000 meters away.  go.  The cannonball landed on the sea and exploded, sending a column of water into the sky.  ¡®Han Xin, after the battleship opened fire

    The following battleships followed suit and opened fire.  Among them, the battleship 'Weiqing', which followed closely behind the battleship 'Han Xin,' also targeted the battleship 'Marlborough', the flagship of the British fleet, forming a pincer attack with the battleship 'Han Xin'.  The Chinese Navy has six battleships that can be put into battle, one more than the British Navy.

    ¡®Huo Qubing, the battleship ¡®Elin¡¯, the battleship ¡®Li Guang¡¯, the battleship

    'Ajax,' battleship 'Li Ling,' battleship 'King George V,' battleship 'Ban Chao,' battleship 'Hercules,' battleship!

    Although the sun is setting and the line of sight is gradually blurring, the Chinese Navy's shooting accuracy is still very accurate with the help of its advanced fire control system.  In the first salvo of the battleship 'Han Xin', the nearest impact point was only more than 200 meters away from the battleship 'Marlborough'.  The splashing water column even drenched the naval officers and soldiers on the starboard side of the battleship Marlborough into drowned rats!

    "Damn it! Fight back! Fight back! Sink those yellow-skinned monkeys for me!" John.  Germany.  Admiral Robek jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on!  He had been beaten to a pulp by the Chinese Navy's carrier-based aircraft forces before. He could still accept this. After all, the Chinese used aircraft, which left them with no ability to fight back.

    But now in a decisive battle with the Chinese battleships, he will never allow the British Royal Navy to fail in the battleship battle!

    "Warriors, you are the warriors of the Royal Navy of the British Empire. There are only a few battlecruisers facing you! Although they have one more battlecruiser, I believe that the final victory will definitely belong to us!" John.  Germany.  Admiral Roback loudly encouraged the British naval officers and soldiers!  In his heart, he has already regarded the Chinese Navy's Hanxin class as a battlecruiser, and believes that the final victory must belong to the British Royal Navy!

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The five battleships of the British Navy also began to fight back. They desperately threw huge cannonballs at the Chinese fleet 10,000 meters away in an attempt to win this battleship showdown!  After all, it had been proven as early as the Battle of the North Sea that battlecruisers were no match for battleships.  The anti-strike ability of the battlecruiser is too weak and cannot be compared with that of the battleship!

    However, the performance of the British Navy made John.  Germany.  Admiral Roback was a little ashamed, although the quality of the British Navy has always been among the best in the world.  But their current performance cannot be compared with that of the Chinese Navy. The nearest impact point is nearly 400 meters away!

    "Damn it! Aim for me, don't waste the shells!" John.  Germany.  Admiral Roback was a little annoyed.?? roared.

    "Boom!" A dazzling flame rose from the bow of the British battleship 'King George V'.  A 343mm shell fired from the battleship "Li Ling" hit the front deck of the battleship "King George V".  The armor-piercing projectile weighing more than 600 kilograms easily penetrated the deck of the battleship King George V, which was only 100 nautical meters thick, and exploded inside the battleship, causing a mess.  Several sailors on the deck were also directly blown away and fell into the sea without a trace!

    "Damn it! What happened to the battleship King George V?" John.  Germany.  Admiral Roback's eyes were almost burning with blazing anger!

    "General, the battleship 'King George V' reported that a large hole was blown out of the front deck and the damage was not serious!" a staff officer replied.

    I heard ¡®The loss of the battleship King George V was not serious, John.  Germany.  Admiral Robek breathed a sigh of relief!

    But then he became furious again!

    At 7:04 pm, John stood on the bridge of the battleship Marlborough.  Germany.  Admiral Robek felt his feet shake violently, and then he flew up and fell heavily to the deck!

    "Damn it!" John.  Germany.  Admiral Roback cursed loudly. He knew that the battleship "Marlborough" had been hit!

    A 343 mm armor-piercing projectile fired from the battleship Wei Qing hit the rear deck of the battleship Marlborough, hitting the No. 5 turret on the rear deck, overturning the entire No. 5 turret.  It also smashed the No. 4 turret on the rear deck, causing the turret to lose its ability to turn.  This directly caused the battleship 'Marlborough' to lose 40% of its combat power!

    ¡®The tragedy of the battleship Marlborough does not end here, it is just the beginning.  The battleship "Marlborough", which is surrounded by the battleship "Han Xin" and the "Wei Qing", is undoubtedly in a much more dangerous situation than the other battleships.  The Chinese fleet has always controlled the combat distance to more than 10,000 meters, which greatly limits the combat power of the British navy.  With their crude sights, it was difficult for them to hit high-speed moving targets.  The Chinese Navy can use its advanced fire control system to ravage British warships!

    At 7:07 p.m., a salvo fired from the battleship 'Hansin' hit the battleship 'Marlborough,' and, in this round of salvo, two shells hit

    ¡®The battleship Marlborough.  A shell hit the No. 3 turret of the Marlborough behind the chimney amidships. The 343 mm armor-piercing shell directly exploded inside the turret armor of the 280 mm thick turret!  At this time, there were still two 343mm shells and more than 100 kilograms of propellant in the barrel.  These shells and propellant exploded, causing seemingly greater damage to the battleship Marlborough!  Almost the entire superstructure amidships was razed to the ground, and two chimneys were blown up.  This caused smoke to billow from the battleship 'Marlborough' and flames to fly.  Another shell hit the front deck of the battleship Marlborough, directly blowing a large hole two to three meters in diameter on the deck!

    "Damage control! Report the damage!" General John Droback shouted.  He never imagined that such a high price would be paid in such a short period of time after the war started.  Although it is still unclear the loss of the battleship 'Marlborough,' he knows that it will definitely not be too good!

    "General, the battleship has been severely damaged! The power system has been severely damaged, and we are now in a serious stall! General, please transfer to other battleships!" A staff officer thought to John.  Germany.  Admiral Roback reported!

    At this time, at the rear of the British fleet's battle line, a loud noise suddenly broke out.  The battleship 'Hercules' at the end of the battle line was broken into two pieces by the violent explosion.  A shell hit the No. 3 shell amidships of the battleship Hercules and detonated the ammunition magazine under the turret.

    Hundreds of 5mm shells exploded, and the violent explosion directly broke the keel of the battleship, causing the battleship with a displacement of up to 23,000 tons to be broken into two parts in an instant.  Seawater poured into the battleship from the break, and the battleship began to sink rapidly. In less than a minute, the battleship, broken in two, sank into the sea. Not one of the more than 700 naval officers and soldiers on the battleship survived!

    This scene stunned the naval officers and soldiers of the British fleet. Everyone couldn't believe it.  The battle had just begun. One battleship in the British fleet was sunk and another was severely damaged.  So, do they still need to continue fighting?

    "Raise the white flag, stop firing, we surrender to the Chinese!" John.  Germany.  Admiral Roback ordered!
