Jia Wuji looked at the central formation to turn back and re-enter the encirclement, he knew that Zhanyang, like the head of state, was a very emotional master, and their most obvious feature was to put some bold words into action with their mouths!

In Jia Wuji's view, as a general and leader-level figure, the slogans shouted in his mouth are just specific requirements for the actions of the people below, where can anyone take the truth of his own ancestors?

At this moment, the second and third formations of the Entente have collapsed under the blows of the left and right flanks of the Chinese Empire, and many warships have hung up white flags and braved the billowing smoke to leave the battlefield, especially the second formation of the Entente that delayed the main formation of the right wing of the Chinese Empire, and was almost completely wiped out under the superior firepower of the right wing formation of the Chinese Empire. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

For the destruction of the second formation and the heavy damage of the third formation, Gomsted can be said to feel a huge pressure, he did not expect that in just over an hour of engagement, the Entente side lost more than 20 warships, looking at the sea off the port of Mumbai, there are all Allied warships that have been heavily damaged by billowing black smoke, and the two giant ships of the Chinese Empire that he besieged are still fighting bravely in the rumbling cannon fire to break the siege, although four of the six Chinese Imperial warships were sunk, the remaining two have been tilted more than thirteen degrees, Still firing guns to resist stubbornly, a medium cruiser began to accelerate and violently ram the third class dreadnought England after balancing the water.

Although the Chinese Empire's Firmament-class giant ships are not fast, their twin-mounted 380-millimeter naval guns are amazingly powerful, and even the twelve-inch main guns of the second-class dreadnoughts cannot effectively penetrate the armor of their main protective parts at a distance of 2,000 yards.

In the rumbling of artillery, the left and right flank formations of the Chinese Empire desperately moved closer to the central formation, and the Entente side also did its best to block the attack, and the battle lasted until 15:32 p.m., when the armored control tower of the battleship Firmament was hit, and many people in the tower were killed and wounded, and Zhanyang's head, arms, and thighs were all grazed by shrapnel.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Zhanyang insisted on not agreeing to change the command of the flagship, insisted on not getting off the bridge of the control tower, and even bandaged it in the bridge, and asked the Sky to continue to hoist the commander's command flag.

Looking at the desolate bridge, there were blood stains everywhere and stumps and broken arms that had not had time to clean up, just now the bridge of the Sky was hit on the side by a shell of at least more than 200 millimeters, the entire conning tower was as if it had been bitten by a monster, the fire was being extinguished, and all the losses could not be effectively counted, although the speed of the ship began to slow down, but the four batteries in front and behind were still firing.

When the distance was less than eight hundred yards, Gomsted saw with his own eyes that the shells fired on the opponent's waterline were bounced away, Gomsted decisively ordered the fleet to turn to the outside line, and fought fiercely with the left and right flank formations of the Chinese Empire, which had been entangled, and the soldiers of both fleets were exhausted, the two firmament-class battleships were scarred, nine of the twenty heavy cruisers were sunk, the Zhenyuan-class battleships lost two, and even the fastest Nanling-class battlecruisers also lost two.

Jia Wuji also understood the true strength of the British Royal Navy at this moment, in front of a very experienced opponent, after only a few rounds of shooting, the other party discovered the biggest weakness of the Nanling class, and the four third-class dreadnoughts dispatched from the first formation made Jia Wuji's battle patrol formation suffer.

In the fierce battle between you and me, the Entente also lost nine third-class dreadnoughts and three second-class dreadnoughts, more than 30 heavy and light armored protection cruisers, and most of the light and heavy armored protection cruisers were killed by Jia Wuji's fast formation, and it was precisely because of the outstanding performance of Jia Wuji's fast formation that Degomst specially dispatched battleships to deal with those damn "vultures"!

The vulture, a scavenging bird of prey that Britain was extremely disgusted with, and Jia Wuji's fast formation was like a vulture, patrolling the battlefield back and forth, and whenever they found something that the battleships could not pay attention to, they would rush over and chase after the light and heavy cruisers on the Allied side, even the Allied transport ships more than a dozen nautical miles away.

This tragic and unusual battle lasted until the evening, and after the Allied fleet and the Chinese Imperial fleet began to gradually distance themselves, they each sent a communication ship to communicate, and Zhanyang and Gomsted each sent a lightly wounded ship to salvage the officers and soldiers and their bodies that had fallen overboard.

The two fleets that are only 3,000 yards apart are still facing each other, after more than seven hours of tragic fighting, the multinational fleet of the Entente has completely become the fleet of the Royal Navy of the British Empire, the two warring sides are still red-eyed, whether it is Zhanyang or Gommst are quietly looking at each other's ships in the bridge, Gommst looked at the exhausted subordinates around him, looking at the other party's seemingly unfinished posture, Gommst was very helpless and sighed: "We can't fight anymore, but they can still fight, Are we wise enough to be the enemy of such a nation and a country? ”

Gommst's question no one could answer him, the Chinese Imperial Fleet, which had already killed red eyes, was immersed in a kind of grief and indignation, and all the officers and men had already worn a white emblem on their arms, this was the largest loss of the Chinese Empire since its formation, the Imperial Fleet had lost thirteen warships, the capital ships of the Sky class battleships and the Imperial class were all damaged to varying degrees, and two of the remaining eleven heavy armored protective cruisers had been seriously tilted, and it was estimated that they would also be abandoned, In this way, the loss of warships in the Chinese Empire increased to fifteen.

Fifteen of the 40 warships participating in the battle were sunk, and almost all of the rest were wounded, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the main force of the Imperial Chinese Navy was disabled, on the other hand, although the coalition forces sank nine third-class dreadnoughts and three second-class dreadnoughts, and a total of 31 heavy and light armored protection cruisers, the other ships of the coalition forces that participated in the war maintained considerable combat effectiveness.

If it weren't for the imminent fall, Zhanyang believed that the opponent would never give up such a great opportunity, if it was him, even if it was him, he would have to fight at night even if he took the risk, completely entangled the enemy, and strive for greater and more brilliant results.

Zhanyang did not consider a problem, that is, the Royal Navy of the British Empire is still human, they will not sacrifice their lives and forget death like the soldiers of the Chinese Imperial Navy, and regard fighting until the last moment of their lives as an honor, the Royal Navy of the British Empire does not have a complete system of political trainers like the Chinese Empire, it can be said that Lin Haijiang's biggest advantage is that he makes all the emperors clearly understand who they are fighting for!

An army with a soul will not be easily defeated, and this time the Chinese Imperial Fleet thinks that they have suffered a big loss, so they still stare at the Allied fleet unrelentingly, hoping that the other party will suddenly make something to make them nervous, and the officers and men of the Chinese Imperial Navy who are screaming with the anger of revenge have forgotten the fact that they are actually the invaders at this moment!

After the Chinese Imperial Navy Formation converged and rescued the officers and soldiers who fell into the water, it began to retreat slowly to the east, and the Entente side formed a patrol formation of six light cruisers that had not participated in the war before and slowly followed behind, and the remaining 39 main warships of the Entente side followed closely, Gomst would not easily let go of such a great opportunity, most of the warships of the Chinese Empire were heavily damaged, once they waited until dawn tomorrow, I believe it would be the last time the Chinese Imperial Fleet saw it, For Gomsted, there is nothing more exhilarating than personally commanding the world's largest fleet to the bottom of the sea.

Zhanyang also knows very well that the British will naturally not let go of their own fleet easily, because this is the only chance for the Entente to be able to severely damage the Imperial Navy, this naval battle of Bombay Bay is actually a rare fire fight between the two sides involved in the war, the Allied fleet led by the Royal Navy of the British Empire and the Chinese Empire This decisive battle, if you simply calculate the results, the Entente side has suffered a big loss, because the fleet of the Entente has become the fleet of the Royal Navy of the British Empire, Russia, France, Spain, the Netherlands, Greece, Italy, Portugal and other countries were all sunk without exception, because in the course of the battle, Gomsted used other warships to besiege the two giant ships of the Chinese Empire, although he sank the two Zhenyuan-class battleships on the other side, but it was very regrettable that he failed to sink the two giant ships that had been damaged, especially when it was late, Gomsted was more afraid of the opponent's desperate counterattack.

In particular, the 30-caliber 380-millimeter cannon of the opponent's giant ship, most of the battleships on the Allies' side were sunk by this large-caliber naval gun, especially the warhead that detonated only after penetrating the hull of the ship was even more terrifying, and the damage caused to the battleship was also the greatest.

For today's results, Gomsted can be said to be very satisfied, even if he does not use the warships of other countries in the Entente as cannon fodder, other countries will still have complaints after the war, after all, how can there be no losses in a naval battle of such a scale? In this case, Gomsted simply sacrificed all the warships of other countries, and what he said after the war was reasonable! In this way, the goal of weakening the other countries of the Entente was achieved, and the combat power of the Royal Navy was effectively protected.
