Owen boarded the Ocean, and had just raised the flagship flag on the Ocean, when he received the Cadre Admiral and Mo Xie of the People's Army Fleet from the Far East Fleet's England and the Centurion, and sank the Centurion, cutting off the Far Eastern Fleet.

After hearing this, Owen was struck by lightning, and he didn't expect the People's Army fleet to have such a bold and risky move. In fact, in all fairness, it is quite risky to intervene in the middle of the enemy's fleet, and its danger is far greater than that of blocking the head, but the KPA fleet did so, and with success, it became a clever move. To a certain extent, this is the same as Togo Heihachiro's turn in front of the enemy, that is, to save the enemy from danger, but although the Japanese Combined Fleet defeated the Russian fleet by such a risky move, because of the intervention of the People's Army fleet, although this adventure was successful, it also lost its meaning; now the adventure of the People's Army fleet is obviously successful, and as long as no third party intervenes, this will be one of the most classic examples in the history of naval warfare.

Owen doesn't know if there will be a third party involved, but the defeat of the Far East Fleet in this battle is irreversible, and what he has to do now is to try his best to minimize the losses, so the top priority now is to break through the interception of the People's Army fleet and withdraw from the battlefield.

Since Owen needed to change the flagship, the Ocean had to slow down so that Owen could board the ship, while the Jinan and Tianjin took advantage of this gap to finally stop in front of the British fleet and face the enemy with the side side. However, at this time, Owen did not care much, and ordered all ships not to strictly defend the formation, but to face the enemy with the bow of the ship, and move at full speed to break through the interception of the People's Army fleet.

Now there are still 5 battleships in the British fleet, except for the Old Man Asterisk, which is too badly damaged and has little combat power left, the remaining 4 battleships Ocean, Glory, Revenge, and England, although they all have their own damage, and some are still seriously damaged, but they all still have the strength of a war, so with the strength of these 4 battleships, let alone breaking through the interception of two armored cruisers, as long as there is enough time, it is not difficult to sink.

So these five British warships immediately dispersed, while accelerating with all their might, and firing at the Jinan and Tianjin on the other, although the old man star was now seriously damaged and its combat effectiveness was almost zero, but they also joined the assault and did their last part. Although these warships are now facing the enemy with their bows, so there are not many guns that can fire, but the addition of 5 warships together is not a small number.

However, the Jinan and Tianjin naturally would not be captured, and these two warships were facing the enemy on the side side, so they could exert their maximum firepower, and at this time, the Qingzhou and Yizhou also caught up to assist the Jinan and Tianjin in intercepting the British warships.

Although in less than two minutes, the five British warships had been shot many times, but they still rushed forward without looking back, until they were less than 3,000 meters away from the KPA interception warships. Of course, these five warships are all battleships after all, and it is difficult for small and medium-caliber shells to cause substantial damage to them. Moreover, these 5 battleships also fought back in the process of breaking through, because the distance between the two sides was too close at this time, so although the British warships did not have electronic equipment to provide firing parameters, they also caused a lot of losses to these interceptor warships of the People's Army, after all, they intercepted cruisers at this time, and naturally they could not be compared with battleships.

Fortunately, at this time, these British battleships were almost all fighting on their own, and they did not concentrate their firepower on a certain warship, otherwise the KPA fleet would inevitably be sunk at this time. However, despite this, if the current trend continues, it is only a matter of time before the British warship assault succeeds.

But at this moment, I saw four or five destroyers sail out of the gap between these warships of the People's Army fleet, and rushed diagonally towards the British battleships. It turned out to be 5 destroyers of the 1st Destroyer Detachment of the KPA fleet. These five destroyers are all warships of the Eight-Nation Coalition captured during the Gengzi State Change, but the ships are older, and the speed is about 20 knots, and the assault capability is somewhat insufficient at this time, so when the Jinan and Tianjin intercept the British warships, these five warships also followed several cruisers to act together, hiding on the other side of several cruisers, and when the British warships approached, and several cruisers could not intercept them, they were inserted diagonally into the middle of the battle between the two sides from the gap.

When Owen saw this, he couldn't help but change his face greatly, of course he knew that in such a situation, the destroyer was a great threat to himself, even surpassing these intercepted cruisers.

Sure enough, because the distance between the two sides was too close at this time, and the British warships were facing the enemy with the bow of the ship, and there were not many artillery that could be used, so it was too late to intercept them, so after several destroyers entered the battlefield, they immediately entered the ** launch area, so these destroyers immediately launched diagonally to the British battleships.

The 5 destroyers each fired 2 shots**, a total of 10 rounds **, 4 on the left and 6 on the right, and crossed over to the British warship.

Even the battleships did not dare to ignore the attack of **, although in only 1 or 2 minutes, the British warships could break through the interception of the KPA fleet, but they still had to give up continuing to break through, and they turned to evade **.

At this time, the lookout reported to Owen that the two battleships of the KPA fleet, the Cadre General and the Mo Xie, had turned around and rushed towards this side. Owen also knew that it was impossible to break through the interception of the People's Army, if the Cadre General and the Mo Xie rushed over, I am afraid that none of these battleships would be able to escape, Bi Jing In the battle just now, the strong combat effectiveness of the two battleships of the People's Army left a very deep impression on Owen, Owen estimated that in the British Navy, only the most cutting-edge Edward VII battleships and these two battleships engaged in a single-ship confrontation.

So Owen ordered the Ocean to turn around and evade **, and on the other hand, he issued a flag, and the ships fought freely and withdrew from the battlefield, but in this way, the warships would fight separately, and it was difficult to say how much they could escape.

In fact, in this era, as long as it can be detected in advance, it is not a problem for ordinary warships to evade, so the other ships have also avoided the attack of ** by turning, but only the old man's asterisk, due to the previous heavy damage, the steering action was slow, failed to dodge, and was shot ** hit, the huge explosion blew out a large gap of more than 3 meters in diameter at the bottom of the bow of the Old Man Star, and the Old Man Star could not hold on any longer, and after 20 minutes, it finally sank into the sea, which was also the third battleship sunk by the Far East Fleet in this battle.

The Oceans withdrew from the flanks of the war, and Owen also witnessed the Old Man Star being taken by ** on the bridge The result of hitting and sinking, although this ending has long been expected by Owen, the old man Asterisk Bi Jing was too badly damaged, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape from the battlefield, but seeing his flagship buried at the bottom of the sea, Owen still has unspeakable discomfort in his heart, of course, what is even more uncomfortable is the failure of this naval battle, in a battle, 3 battleships were sunk, this is probably the worst defeat in the history of the British Navy, and Vice Admiral Owen, who is the party concerned, is obviously to blame

However, it was Owen's quick decision to let the remaining four battleships scatter and escape, but let the other warships seize the first opportunity, and when the Cadre General and the Mo Ye arrived, the remaining four battleships had already fled to 5,000 meters away, although the Cadre General and the Mo Xie chased after 3 or 4 rounds of artillery bombardment, and also hit many targets, and also chased for a while, but the British warships still escaped the pursuit of the People's Army by virtue of their familiarity with the hydrology of the sea area.

There are many islands in the sea area of Bi Jing, the reefs are dense, the hydrological situation is very complicated, the People's Army fleet only dares to drive in the wide sea area, and does not dare to easily enter the sea area with many islands and reefs, Bi Jing has won this battle, and has sunk 3 battleships, just with this result, it is a big victory, so there is no need to take risks at this time, in case a warship hits the reef and is damaged, or even sinks, it is more than worth the loss. So the Gan Jiang and Mo Xie did not chase hard, but returned to the battlefield to help the Jinan, Tianjin and other nuclear rescue British soldiers who fell into the water.

On the other side of the battlefield, the Baller, Monmouth, and Bedford turned in order to avoid **, so the Edgar, Royal Arthur, and Grafton behind were exposed, and at this time, the three battleships of the People's Army fleet, Weiyang, Boyang, and Feiyang, also took over the position of the Cadre General and the Moxie, and launched a fierce bombardment of the British warships.

At this time, the Edgar, the Royal Arthur, and the Grafton were still in the formation of the column, so the Edgar led by the leader bore the brunt, and under the fierce blows of the three battleships, more than 20 bullets were hit in less than 1 minute. These three British warships are all protective cruisers, although the displacement exceeds 7,000 tons, but it is a simplified version of the upper Blake class, not only does it have no vertical armor on the side side, but even the dome armor has been reduced from 152 mm to 127 mm of the Blake class, so the actual defense is not as good as the 6,000-ton Qingzhou-class protective cruiser of the East China government. As a result, almost the entire bow of the Edgar was destroyed, and even the headquarters was blown up, and in the blink of an eye, it was completely dead.

This was followed by the Royal Arthur, but after several shots, the destroyer detachment of the Far East Fleet finally caught up, and the 4 destroyers of the 1st Destroyer Detachment, the Swordfish, the Spitfire, the Rocket, and the Shark flew towards the three cruisers of the KPA, and the three battleships did not dare to be careless about these 4 destroyers, so they temporarily let go of the Royal Arthur, but concentrated their firepower against the British destroyers.

However, the remaining 4 destroyers on the KPA side also met and fought fiercely with the opponent's expulsion to share the pressure for their battleships, and then the Baller, Monmouth, and Bedford, which had just evaded **, finally adjusted and re-entered the battle, and the 5 cruisers of the 3rd cruiser detachment of the KPA fleet also joined the battle group, and the British fleet and the last second destroyer detachment also entered the battle.
