Two o'clock in the afternoon, the Great Island of England, at the mouth of the Thames estuary. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The main force of the Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy was dispatched, and several hundred warships surrounded two battleships and three armored cruisers of the British Royal Navy's home fleet.

This is a naval battle without suspense.

In terms of the number of warships, the British Royal Navy's home fleet had only five warships, while the Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy, which surrounded them, had several hundred warships.

In terms of the performance and quality of battleships, there is no comparison. Of the five battleships of the Royal Navy's Home Fleet, two of them were early models of the Dreadnought era, and had already been abused by the Imperial Chinese Navy during the Sixth Sino-British War. Three more armored cruisers, since the appearance of battlecruisers, have been eliminated. The capital ships of the Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy surrounding them were all late dreadnought and super dreadnought battleships, with a maximum main gun caliber of 406 mm, and the 305 mm main guns of the British army were completely destroyed. Similarly, in terms of armor protection and speed, it was a crushing force for British warships.

Finally, there is combat experience, obviously the Chinese Imperial Navy has fought invincible opponents all over the world, and that kind of invincible loneliness has also been experienced by the Imperial Navy where the sun never sets. Today's British Royal Navy has been defeated by the Imperial Chinese Navy five times in a row, and when facing the Imperial Chinese Navy, the British Navy has no confidence at all.

Knock knock!

Knock knock!

At a distance of fifteen kilometers, the main ships of the Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy fired 10,000 guns at once, and at this distance, the old main guns of the British Royal Navy could hit up to 10 kilometers, so they could only be beaten passively.

Originally, the number of British warships was small, and the caliber was also small, so they suffered a loss in a fight, but after firing the guns, they found that the range of the main guns of the British own battleships could not hit the opposing Chinese Imperial warships at all, and in turn, the battleship shells of the Chinese Imperial Navy could hit the British themselves.

This Nima was also too aggrieved, and the British officers and soldiers on the five battleships were about to cry, and even their commander Eisen was confused.

Boom!

Boom!

Cannonballs rained down all over the world, the sea boiled instantly, and huge waves rolled.

It was so dense that in just the first salvo, five British ships were shot one after another, and the flames shot out, and black smoke rolled into the sky.

The three armored cruisers were the worst, and the tonnage shells caused a devastating explosion no matter where they landed.

The Shannon was hit by two large-caliber shells at the same time, one was a 381-mm armor-piercing blasting shell, which exploded behind the island, instantly destroying half of the island, and black smoke billowed out. The other was a 356-mm armor-piercing blast projectile, which directly penetrated the 180 mm armor on the port side, pierced through the six internal partitions of the hull, and exploded on the inside of the starboard waterline belt, penetrating the starboard armor from the inside, causing the sea water to pour in, and the battleship immediately tilted to the right.

The other two armored cruisers, the Green Pearl and the Saturn, each received a shell, of which the Saturn was also hit by the island, but the shell exploded horizontally, flattening the upper part of the island. The Green Pearl was shot in the stern, and the violent explosion directly blew away the propeller weighing more than ten tons and fell to the sea hundreds of meters away.

As the only two battleships of the British home fleet, although they are outdated, they are after all heavily armored and protected by steel plates more than 300 millimeters thick, which are still relatively resistant to beating.

Both ships received three to five shells, and although they inflicted heavy damage, they were still able to fight. The twin-mounted 305-mm turret turned, and returned fire.

However, when the second round of artillery salvo fire from the Imperial Chinese Navy arrived, the three armored cruisers exploded violently one after another, and capsized on the verge of capsizing.

The two British battleships also encountered a fatal attack, their vertical armor is solid, but the horizontal armor protection is almost useless, less than 80 mm of horizontal armor, when the capital ships of the Chinese Imperial Navy adjust the angle of fire, with a large elevation angle projectile attack, the ballistic trajectory falls from the sky, avoiding the vertical solid armor of the British ship, focusing on its weakest horizontal armor.

At 2:07 p.m., three 406-mm armor-piercing blasting shells from the No. 3 turret of the battleship Arctic Ocean simultaneously hit the rear deck of the British ship Dreadnought.

Three giant shells of more than a ton each instantly smashed through the horizontal armor of the battleship Intrepid, and exploded after continuously penetrating four layers of horizontal bulkheads.

In an instant, the nearly 20,000-ton giant ship bulged from the middle, the steel armor broke, and then exploded, like a volcano erupting in an instant, and black-red smoke burst out, up to thousands of meters, covering the sky and the sun.

In a series of violent explosions, the battleship Dreadnought exploded at the ammunition depot and the oil depot one after another, and the entire hull was torn apart, and nearly 1,000 British officers and men on it were swept away in the blast wave, covered in flames, rolled in the air, and then fell into the sea.

The battleship Revenge could not escape its fate, the horizontal deck was hit by the shells thrown from the large elevation angle one after another, the explosions came and went, in just ten seconds, a full seventeen shells, the entire hull superstructure was razed to the ground, the fireworks rolled, six penetrating injuries, causing a violent backflow of seawater, the hull turned on its side at a visible speed, and capsized in less than a minute.

In just ten minutes, the five capital ships of the British Royal Navy's home fleet were all wiped out, and in the entire Thames estuary, there was no British naval force to prevent the Chinese Imperial Navy from approaching.

This level of fighting, for the officers and men of the battle-tested Imperial Chinese Navy, was not even a warm-up, it was a complete one-sided massacre, and could not arouse the excitement of any victor.

"Discover the Radium Zone!"

"The lightning strike fleet is dispatched! Start sweeping radium! ”

Boom Boom Boom ......

The Radium area of the Thames estuary was a defensive obstacle set up by the British army in order to prevent the German High Seas Fleet from attacking London.

In front of the Imperial Chinese Navy, although the water radium laid by the British was very exquisite, there was a universal trick to crack it, that is, violent radium.

The Lightning Strike Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy is equipped with professional sweeping radium guns and sweeping radium nets, as well as advanced sweeping equipment such as decoy shells.

The Sweep Radium Cannon is a highly penetrating weapon, which can shoot through water radium at a depth of 20 meters, and directly test kinetic energy to impact and detonate water radium.

The premise of this weapon is that the sailors are the first to discover the location of the water radium and then remove it.

The sweeping radium net is a kind of dragging and destruction facility, similar to a fishing net, when the Royal Navy of the British Empire relied on fishing nets to destroy the first generation of water radium laid by the Chinese Empire, and now the Chinese Imperial Navy has developed a professional sweeping radium net based on the principle of fishing nets, and the water radium that has not been found by the naked eye under the water has been dragged out and detonated.

Finally, there is the decoy bomb, which is a device similar to an airplane's infrared jamming bomb, with a thick steel shell on the outside and a huge magnet on the inside, simulating the electromagnetic field signals generated by the long-term voyage of a giant surface warship to induce a magnetic storm of water radium buried on the seabed.

At that time, the Chinese Empire used the Magnetic Storm Water Radium device to trap the British Navy, and now the British Navy has been equipped with the Magnetic Storm Water Radium to defend against the surface ships of the Chinese Empire.

But today the British were dumbfounded, their magnetic storm water radium was useless in front of the Chinese Imperial Navy, and they were all detonated one by one.

"The Radium Barrier has been cleared!"

"Ahead to the Bayou Battery!"

"Enemy artillery fire has been detected in the estuary battery!"

Li Weijun sat on the battleship Fury, listened to the battlefield report from the front, and then responded and gave orders.

"Order all battleship formations to take the lead, gather fire and volley, destroy the enemy's estuary batteries, and fight quickly and quickly, without mistakes!"

The British Estuary Batteries were deployed on the Peninsula salients on both sides of the Thames estuary estuary, the Great Wakeling Battery on the north bank, and the Orhallos Battery on the south bank.

It can be said that the estuary battery was the gate for the British army to ensure the safety of the Greater London District, and once it was captured, the city of London was equivalent to opening the door.

At 2:55 p.m., 56 battleships of the Imperial Chinese Navy broke into the Thames estuary and opened heavy fire on the British estuary batteries.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of tons of shells roared and smashed into the British batteries, raising clouds of fiery red mushrooms, shattering earth and rocks, and filling the air with gunsmoke.

The British were ready and quickly returned fire.

The two sides were immediately plunged into a fierce battle, and artillery fire was flying.

Most of the British coastal guns were below 280 mm in caliber, and there were only a dozen guns over 280 mm, and even if they were replaced with armor-piercing shells, it was difficult to penetrate the armor of the super dreadnought battleships of the Imperial Chinese Navy.

This is directly related to Britain's long-term pursuit of strengthening the navy and weakening the army, in peacetime, the main force of the British Royal Navy is defending at home, and the British coastal artillery does not feel the pressure, but now the main force of the Royal Navy is not at home, and in the face of the salvo of 56 battleships of the Chinese Imperial Navy, each salvo is hundreds of tons of shells pouring down, blowing up the British army crying dad and mother, shouting not to be too cruel.

Soon, more than two dozen battlecruisers joined the battle, hiding in the rear of the battleship group, not easy to attack, and fishing in troubled waters in the fleet group, which also played a huge role.

In less than half an hour, the British batteries on both sides of the Thames estuary were destroyed, the shore anti-aircraft guns weighing hundreds of tons were blown up, and even a shell penetrated the huge barrel horizontally and stuck in it without exploding, and was collected in the museum after the war.

More than 2,000 British troops were wiped out, corpses were strewn all over the field, and under the bombardment of shells weighing 1.2 tons, flesh and blood were often blown to pieces, and none of the corpses were intact.

Li Weijun did not have time to appreciate his victory, and immediately ordered the Pacific Fleet to sail up the Thames River and head for the city of London.

At the same time, the landing ships in the fleet group divided the forces of two towns, about 50,000 men, and landed from the destroyed Great Wakeling Fort on the north shore and the Orhallos Fort on the south bank, respectively, and advanced on the north and south lines towards the city of London.

This is the standard tactic of the Chinese Imperial Shence Army, which is divided into separate attacks and combined attacks.

Yuan Shikai's Thirty-Three Towns did not disembark, but followed Li Weijun to attack the city of London and landed directly from the city of London.

The officers and soldiers of the 33rd Town of Li Weijun directly captured London, captured the British Prime Minister and Queen alive, and wiped out the British high-level.

And Yuan Shikai also wants to follow the opportunity given to him by Li Weijun, show a hand, and completely gain a firm foothold in the Chinese Empire's Shence Army.

This is related to Yuan Shikai's future status and career in the Chinese Empire's Shence Army system, so Yuan Shikai also worked hard, took out all his skills, commanded the officers and soldiers of the 33 towns, and vowed to be the first to rush into Buckingham Palace in Downing Street.

At this moment, in the Downing Street Prime Minister's Office, Ross had already received a front-line battle report and was scolding the British Royal Navy command for rubbish.

"Bastard, why did you tell me when the main force of the Chinese Imperial Navy hit the doorstep?"

Ross was very angry, not angry that the five warships of the home fleet were all wiped out, because there was no suspense at all, he was angry because the naval command did not pay attention to it, and he should have reported it to the Prime Minister's Office as soon as possible.

At this moment, the Imperial Chinese Navy had conquered the defensive positions at the mouth of the river, the navy was attacking London along the Thames, and the army had also landed, outflanking London from the north and south.

In this way, Rose will not have time to abandon London, and he may not even have enough time to escape.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, let's move the capital immediately!"

A cabinet minister suggested.

"Moving the capital? Only after they have hit the doorstep did they move the capital? Is it in time? ”

Ross spat and flew around, and the cabinet minister who sprayed it was nauseous (dear, how many days have you not brushed your teeth).

Defense Secretary Cook proposed: "For the sake of the present day, all the troops should be mobilized immediately to participate in the defense of the capital, and all citizens who can fight will be issued guns and ammunition, and it is better to block the Chinese Imperial Army for a few days, so that we can have time to move the capital and carry out strategic transfers." ”

No one is optimistic that London will be able to hold it, if the Royal Navy of the British Empire is fine here, but now that the Chinese Imperial Shence Army has landed, this is on land, and the British army does not have the courage to fight a head-on battle with the Chinese Imperial Shence Army, so the capital cannot be held at all.

At this moment, more officials echoed Cook, and they were very frightened in their hearts, fearing that they would not be able to escape from the fall of London.

Ross sighed bitterly in his heart, and glanced at Chamberlain next to him, who was also shocked and helpless, obviously not predicting that the Chinese Empire would launch a war against Britain so quickly.

Germany blitzed France, and the Chinese Empire blitzed Britain, this is the rhythm of destroying the Entente!

"Well, the Battle of London will be in command of Cook!"

Ross made a decision, and the next thing was very simple, Cook and other military organizations organized the defense of London, and Ross and others began to arrange the relocation of the capital.

It didn't matter where the capital was moved, the British Cabinet and Parliament had never passed a resolution so efficiently, and in less than five minutes, everyone agreed to move the capital to South Wales.

The order to move the capital was issued urgently, and this London was in a panic, and the common people rushed to flee outside the city, causing traffic jams and bringing great obstacles to the deployment of the British army.

As soon as they heard that the Chinese Imperial Shence Army had hit the British Island, they were so frightened that they couldn't hold their guns steadily, and they urinated directly on the ground with poor psychological quality, and even some British soldiers quietly ran away with the people.

"Your Excellency, Commander, are we going to the front line to inspect?" The secretary asked suddenly.

Cook glared at him and said, "it, you go back to the mansion immediately, pick up my wife and the children, and then leave London immediately and go straight to South Wales!" ”

The secretary was stunned for a moment, and then left happily.

As a result, when British officials saw that the Cook family was the first to run away, they followed suit and dragged their families to seize the military passage and leave London.

There are no airtight walls.

The British security officers shouted that the officials were with London and asked the citizens to join the army to defend London, but it was revealed that the officials had fled with their families.

So the citizens of London were furious, they had just received the guns and ammunition issued by the military, and immediately clashed with the military, covering their families to embark on a journey to escape. What's more, they directly began to rob at gunpoint.

For a time, the whole city of London was in chaos.

And those London citizens who live at the bottom of the society, they have nothing to lose, but they are worried that those mobs will burn, kill, loot and plunder them, so these citizens are looking forward to the Chinese Imperial Shence Army to come over quickly! (To be continued.) )
