Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! The dense shells slammed into the battleship Manila of the American Navy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Columns of water burst out on the sea around the battleship Manila.

This time, the battleship Manila learned the lesson of the battleship Draver, did not turn, and still fought the enemy with the bow. However, the two battleships behind the battle line of the United States Navy began to turn around, quickly pressing towards the flagship of the Huaxia Navy Warrior, trying to get close to the other party and sinking the opponent's flagship with rapid-fire guns.

Rumble! A 380-mm shell hit the front main gun of the battleship Manila. The energy from the violent explosion tore through the turret armor of the front main gun, overturning the entire main gun onto the deck.

Rumble! Rumble! The Manila was caught between the flagship of the First Fleet and another battleship, and received another shell. The huge explosion blew the front chimney of the battleship Manila onto the deck, and the smoke from the boilers soon enveloped the entire battleship. At the same time, both boilers were also affected by a huge explosion and soon stopped working.

"General, the battleship Manila has called, requesting to withdraw from the battle!" A communications soldier reported to Admiral McDum.

In fact, McDoom had already seen that the front main guns of the battleship Manila had been destroyed, and the smoke rush had been blown up, and the power had been seriously affected, making it unsuitable for further combat.

Although McDoom knew that the battleship Manila still had the main guns on the rear deck to use, the speed could no longer keep up with the speed of the battle line, and it was possible that the cruisers and destroyers sent by the Huaxia Navy could sink it. Now the Pacific Fleet has only three new battleships left, and it can no longer afford to lose again.

"Permission to withdraw from the battle! Let the battleship Manila be withdrawn directly to Manila for repairs! Admiral McDoom said decisively. Manila, as the main anchorage of the Pacific Fleet of the United States, has a supporting maintenance dock. The Manila's injuries were not serious, and the repair dock in Manila Harbor was more than competent, and there was no need to travel long distances back to the United States.

Soon after receiving the order, the correspondent sent a telegram to the battleship Manila. The battleship Manila, which had been given permission, slowly withdrew from the battlefield and sailed westward under the protection of a destroyer.

After the battleship Manila withdrew from the battlefield, all the officers and men on the battleship breathed a sigh of relief, these officers and soldiers were eager to flee from this devil's battlefield quickly, the artillery of the Chinese Navy was very fierce, and the tactics used were quite shameless, and there was no chivalry at all.

However, when the captain of the flagship of the First Fleet saw this, he immediately notified the submarine force in ambush under the outer sea in the form of a telegram of the direction of the Manila's evacuation.

Perhaps the commander-in-chief of the Pacific Fleet, McDoom, would not have imagined that there was an ambush of a group of undersea killers under the outer sea, waiting for orders from the First Fleet.

At this time, the situation of naval warfare has undergone some changes. At the same time as the battleship duel, the battle patrol of the First Fleet was also very fierce, and the 380mm main gun was absolutely powerful, coupled with the design based on the main gun, the power of the huge main gun was definitely not imaginary. As long as you hit those cruisers and destroyers, a few shells can cripple the opposing battleship.

The armor of destroyers and cruisers was far less thick than that of battleships, and it was difficult to withstand the threat of 380mm guns.

The battle has only been less than an hour now. One battleship was sunk in the US Navy, and one was forced to withdraw from the battle. The Pacific Fleet was also disabled by four cruisers and five destroyers, which was an absolutely fatal blow to the Pacific Fleet. And the Huaxia Navy did not have any losses.

Such a gap is difficult for the commander of the US Navy, Admiral McDoom, to accept, and he is almost about to go crazy, the situation is becoming more and more severe for the Pacific Fleet, and if it continues like this, the Pacific Fleet will definitely be finished.

The current flagship captain of the Philippine is also very ugly. If this continues, the navy of the First Fleet of China will destroy the capital ships of the Pacific Navy little by little. At that time, the Pacific Fleet will probably also face the catastrophe of annihilation, and it is more likely that the fate of the entire army will be annihilated.

However, at this time, the figure of the main fleet appeared, and the huge fleet seemed to be about to cover this sea area, and countless chimneys emitted thick smoke to cover the sky and the earth, and the momentum was very nuclear.

Wang Hongliang, commander of the First Fleet, couldn't help but frown when he saw the countless warships of the Great White Fleet coming from this side at high speed. I thought I could sink the other two battleships of the Pacific Fleet again, but now it seems that it will be difficult to achieve this goal. The Great White Fleet has eight battleships, dozens of battle cruisers, cruisers, and destroyers, and with the number of the First Fleet, it is completely at a disadvantage, and it absolutely cannot fight hard, and can only adopt guerrilla tactics.

After determining the tactics, Wang Hongliang immediately ordered all the warships to withdraw from this sea area, looking for an opportunity to fight again.

After receiving the flagship's order, the warships of the First Fleet increased their speed one after another and quickly left this sea area.

After the Pacific Fleet and the Great White Fleet reconciled, plus the Spanish fleet, the number has reached more than 160, even if the strike capability of the main warships of the United States Combined Fleet is far inferior to that of the First Fleet, but the numerical superiority of the United States Combined Fleet can make up for this, and it is completely possible to adopt group fighting tactics. Wang Hongliang understands this very well.

It is obviously very unwise to fight against it. Since the number of opposing ships is very large, it is necessary to change tactics. Take advantage of your own ship's high-speed, long-range strikes to defeat your enemies. Wang Hongliang looks young, but he has a strong sense of self-esteem, and he definitely doesn't want to let the submarine force help him until he has to.

The Second Fleet is all women who can destroy the East India Fleet of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Wang Hongliang doesn't want Sun Hao to look down on him, and at the same time wants to prove that his ability is definitely not worse than that of Lu Ping, the commander of the First Fleet.

As long as the fleet is divided into several squadrons, with battleships and battle cruisers leading some cruisers and destroyers to adopt guerrilla tactics, there is still a great hope of victory in this naval battle.

In addition, the torpedoes of the First Fleet far exceeded that of the United Fleet, and Wang Hongliang wanted to wait until the United Fleet of the United States was in chaos to launch torpedoes, even if he could not sink all the opposing warships, at least some of them could be killed, so as to reduce the pressure on numbers.

After the two fleets reconciled, the number of main battleships of the United Fleet of the United States was 10, and there were originally 12 ships, but one had been sunk and one damaged by the First Fleet.

It looks like the Combined Fleet has twice as many capital warships as the First Fleet, but the First Fleet's 10 battlecruisers with powerful firepower make up for this disadvantage.
