"Boom-boom-" After a violent explosion, the former dreadnought battleship of the Sharad Imperial Expeditionary Fleet was almost blown in two, and then quickly sank to the sea, this was already the seventh battleship sunk by the Sharad Imperial Expeditionary Fleet after the battleships of both sides opened fire, and at this time, it was only twenty minutes after the first round of main gun salvo of the six super dreadnought battleships of the independent fleet.

"Commander, the Sincerity is also finished, now we have two dreadnought battleships, two former dreadnought battleships and three ironclad battleships sunk, and the hit rate of the enemy's battleship's main guns is really shocking!" The captain of the Ares Rofeyer said to Commander Denis with a bitter face.

Commander Denis's face was very ugly, in order to close the distance with the battleships of the Baron Fleet of the Liuyun Empire, the Sharad Imperial Expeditionary Fleet not only paid the price of sinking seven battleships, but also many battleships were seriously damaged, including a God of War-class super dreadnought battleship Moon Goddess.

The Moon Goddess was hit by two 380 mm shells and one 356 mm shells one after another, although it did not sink, but the Moon Goddess's hull had poured into more than a thousand tons of seawater, and the speed was only less than 8 knots, and the commander Denis had no choice but to let the Moon Goddess, a super dreadnought battleship, temporarily withdraw from the first battle line, making the number of super dreadnought battleships on both sides become six to three.

"How far are you from the enemy battle line now?" Commander Denis asked in a deep voice.

"Commander, the distance between the battle lines of the two sides has been narrowed to about 11,000 meters." The captain of the Ares replied, Rofeyer.

Commander Denis hesitated a little and said: "Let all the battleships that maintain their combat strength immediately change the direction of the bow, restore the state of facing the enemy on the side side, and order the first battle line and the second battle line to seize the T-shaped heads on the left and right sides respectively, and flank the enemy's battle line from two directions!" ”

Originally, Commander Denis was going to shorten the distance between the two battle lines to within 10,000 meters, and then re-seize the T-shape, but seven battleships were sunk, and many battleships were seriously injured, which already made Commander Denis a little unbearable, after all, only the side fire of the battleship could give full play to the firepower of all the main guns, and in the previous twenty minutes, dozens of battleships of the Sharad Imperial Expeditionary Fleet did not bring much damage to the eighteen battleships of the Independent Fleet.

Then Commander Denis added: "Let all the torpedo boats and destroyers also charge, try to get close to the enemy battle line, and fire torpedoes at the enemy battleships." ”

Wang Chengliang, the commander of the independent fleet, saw that the remaining battleships of the Sharad Imperial Expeditionary Fleet were trying to seize the T-shaped prefix from the left and right directions, and after a little consideration, he ordered the four Edward VII-class battleships of the Fourth Sentai to break away from the battle line of the main formation and intercept the remaining ironclad battleships of the other side, while the battleships of the First Sentai and the Second Sentai still maintained their formation and continued to fight against the other battle line of the Sharad Imperial Expeditionary Fleet.

On the surface of the sea with the rumbling of artillery, violent explosions were heard from time to time, and as time passed, the battle between the two fleets became more and more intense.

And Su Yi, who was far away in Kangshan City, didn't need Wang Chengliang, the commander of the independent fleet, to send a telegram back, he knew that the independent fleet under his command and the expeditionary fleet of the Sharad Empire were in a fierce battle, because the experience of the system was growing almost every moment.

The previous defeat of the two divisions of the Jisk Empire made Su Yi's experience 53228/100000, and three hours after the two fleets started the battle, Su Yi's experience increased by more than 20,000 points.

At 12:42 p.m. on May 28, 3011 in the Tang calendar, the super dreadnought battleship Ocean Goddess of the Sharad Empire Expeditionary Fleet had a large tilt because of serious water leakage, and finally overturned on its side and slowly sank into the seawater, before the Super Dreadnought battleship of the Ocean Goddess rolled over, there were three 380 mm shells, two 343 mm shells and five 305 mm shells, which fell on it.

In the bridge of the flagship Ares of War, the captain of the Ares Rofeyer said bitterly to the commander Denis: "One of the Ares of War has a twin main gun that is no longer usable, and the Ares can only use four main guns to fight the enemy in the future." ”

Commander Denis looked at the sinking super dreadnought battleship of the Ocean Goddess in the distance, and said with a lonely face: "Defeated, it is impossible for our expeditionary fleet to win this naval battle, the four super dreadnought battleships of the Imperial Navy, the Ocean Goddess is about to sink, the Moon Goddess and the Sun God have lost their combat effectiveness, but the enemy's six super dreadnought battleships are almost unscathed, and there is only one God of War left, which cannot change anything at all." ”

The captain of the Ares Rofeye sighed gloomily, not only defeated, it was a fiasco.

The naval battle lasted only two hours, the first guerrilla group was completely annihilated, all eight large armored cruisers were sunk, the second guerrilla group also suffered heavy losses, thirteen medium armored cruisers were sunk, and only three medium armored cruisers with minor injuries had fled the battlefield, but these three medium armored cruisers did not escape without permission, but the commander Denis gave the order to let the three medium armored cruisers retreat.

The four super dreadnoughts of the expeditionary fleet are now one sunk and two seriously damaged, eight dreadnoughts are two sunk and two seriously damaged, eight former dreadnoughts are three sunk and three seriously damaged, nineteen ironclad battleships are sunk and nine are sunk, and the remaining seven are also wounded.

The expeditionary fleet's thirty-six destroyers and thirty torpedo boats, which were almost completely lost due to a similar suicidal attack on enemy battleships, are now only four destroyers and two torpedo boats.

Of the entire expeditionary fleet, only the twenty-four light cruisers that were protecting the vicinity of the battleships suffered the least losses, and two light cruisers were sunk, both by deflected large-caliber shells.

What is somewhat devastating is that the expeditionary fleet suffered such heavy losses in this naval battle, but their opponents were only sunk by sinking one dreadnought battleship, one former dreadnought battleship, a large armored cruiser, two light cruisers, and three destroyers.

"Give all the captains my order to retreat, there is no point in fighting any longer." Commander Denis said in a calm voice.

The captain of the Ares Rofeye hesitated and asked, "Commander, many battleships are seriously injured, and if the enemy pursues them, it is impossible for these seriously injured battleships to escape. ”

"Allowing a seriously injured warship to surrender to the Baron fleet of the Liuyun Empire, and to surrender to a strong man, will not disgrace the honor of our Sharad Empire's navy."
