Chapter 158: Surrender Ordered

Through this battle, Sun Hao also saw the gap between the two sides, even if his own warships are excellent, but the quality of the Huaxia Army is not as good as the Mi Army, if the Mi Army has such advanced warships, the Huaxia Navy is not an opponent at all.

The sinking of the Huashan Battle Patrol also had a certain impact on the morale of the officers and men of the Huaxia Navy, but after the Mi Army saw such a huge battleship being sunk, their morale suddenly rose.

"Commander, the battle patrol of the Huashan was still firing until the moment before it sank!" The first mate of the battleship Warrior stood beside Wang Hongliang and said with red eyes.

The battleship USS Connecticut, the flagship of the United Fleet of the United States, seems to be like an unbeatable Xiaoqiang, which has been hit four times by the Huaxia Navy, but it still has not been hit. is still fighting, which makes Wang Hongliang very angry.

"Order all warships to separate immediately, use artillery as cover, and fire torpedoes!" Wang Hongliang gritted his teeth and ordered. Seeing that the Huashan was sunk, Wang Hongliang was very depressed. While the Mi army is happy, giving them a torpedo feast must have a good effect.

Admiral Anderson, the commander-in-chief of the Combined Fleet, couldn't help but feel a little excited when he saw that he had finally sunk one of the opposing warships, and it seemed that the navy of Huaxia was not invincible. Not only Admiral Anderson thinks so, but even other officers and soldiers of the United States think so.

The sinking of the Huashan brought extremely high morale to the entire United Fleet of the Mi Army, but they did not expect that the torpedo feast of the Huaxia Navy was falling.

At the same time, the sinking of the Huashan aroused infinite fighting spirit among the officers and men of the Huaxia Navy, and the officers and men of dozens of warships were busy, the gunners continued to open fire, and the officers and men operating the torpedoes were also busy.

Except for a small number of ships in the First Fleet that were not equipped with torpedo launchers, the other warships were basically torpedoes, and each battleship carried more than four torpedoes.

When the torpedoes of the battleships of the Huaxia Navy were ready, the captains of the warships gave the order to launch the torpedoes.

After the torpedo was fired, hundreds of torpedoes with tiny bubbles at their tails shot towards the United Fleet.

At this time, the officers and men of the United Fleet of the United States could not have imagined that hundreds of torpedoes were rushing towards this side like a group of death knights. At this time, the combined fleet was still in the joy of sinking the Huashan battle cruiser, and the gunners were working desperately, all wanting to sink the warships of the Huaxia Navy again.

No one paid attention to the torpedo problem, because it was impossible to imagine that the Chinese Navy would attack with torpedoes.

In this era, torpedoes did not have a long range and little power, so they could only be used as auxiliary weapons in naval warfare, so it was normal for the officers and men of the United Fleet of the United States to not guard against the opponent's torpedoes.

Not long after, a 533mm torpedo was fired at the battleship USS Connecticut, the flagship of the United Fleet, and when the sailors next to the ship Xuan discovered that the torpedo was coming, it was already over.

The torpedo, which was traveling at a high speed of 45 knots, quickly crashed into the bow draft of the battleship USS Connecticut, boom! With a loud bang, the battleship USS Connecticut, which was already scarred, was torn open by this torpedo a large hole of several meters, and the sea water poured violently into the bow of the battleship USS Connecticut.

Soon after, boom! Rumble! The sound of explosions continued to come, mixed with the sound of constantly roaring naval guns in the United Fleet.

Although Huaxia's torpedoes were very advanced, some of them still missed their targets, but the harvest this time was undoubtedly huge, hitting more than 80 American warships in total.

Some light cruisers of the United States Combined Fleet were even directly blown up by a torpedo, and I saw only those American sailors on the battleship constantly fluttering in the sea water.

Admiral Anderson had already changed the battleships, but when Admiral Anderson saw that so many battleships were hit by torpedoes released by Huaxia, his face was even darker than that of Africans. Admiral Anderson didn't expect that the opponent still had such a powerful killing move, and Huaxia Kingdom had been fighting with his combined fleet for so long before performing a killing move, Admiral Anderson really couldn't figure out what the other party's plot was.

Since there are such powerful torpedoes, why not use them at first, but use naval guns to fight, and release torpedoes at a critical moment. Admiral Anderson gripped his scalp with both hands, squinting at so many wounded battleships, and at this time, his heart was broken.

The Great White Fleet and the Pacific Fleet, which are proud of the United States, were buried in their own hands like this, what face do they have to face the people of the United States?

The outcome of this naval battle Admiral Anderson already knew that the other side was completely fighting like a monkey, and the Combined Fleet was no match for the other side at all.

There are only two ways to go, the first, surrender, and the second, all self-sinking. Thinking of this, Admiral Anderson slowly pulled out the pistol from his waist with one hand and pointed it at his temple.

"Your Excellency! You can't do this! The adjutant yelled loudly, quickly grabbing Admiral Anderson's right hand with both hands, trying to snatch his pistol off.

After all, Admiral Anderson is old, and his strength is not comparable to that of the young and strong adjutant, and the revolver gun in his hand has been taken away by the adjutant.

"Why did you take my gun? Do I have a choice? The people of the United States will not forgive me, and the gang of scumbags in Congress will not let me go! Admiral Anderson shouted with red eyes.

"Your Excellency, to quote the words of the East, that is, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and you need not be so frustrated. Our warships are not as strong as the other side, our artillery is much behind the other side, and the torpedoes are not the opponent of the other side. Personally, I estimate that the navy of Huaxia has not experienced actual combat at all, and they are completely practicing our United Fleet as a practice opponent this time, and the warships of our two sides are too far apart, so you don't need to be responsible for this matter. ”

Admiral Anderson thought about it and seemed to understand everything, the other party's warships were far larger than the warships of the United States, and the two sides must have been fighting until now that the other party must be practicing actual combat. This Huaxia country has been hidden on the islands of Papua, and has never experienced actual combat until recently, and as for the East India fleet of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, there is not a single battleship at all, how can it be called a fleet?

"Give the order to surrender! Otherwise, more lads will lose their lives! Admiral Anderson reluctantly ordered.

Soon, all the United States fleets that were not sunk were hung with white flags, and many warships also lowered their lifeboats to rescue those compatriots who fell into the water.

Most of the battleships of the combined fleet were already wounded, either torpedoed or damaged by shells. Originally, many were worried that their warships would be sunk. And the officers and soldiers of the United States who would die themselves, after receiving the order to surrender, many even jumped up happily.

"Oh God! Your Excellency Admiral is really too wise! A U.S. sailor said happily and loudly.
