The combined fleet of Britain, France and Russia has not yet had time to complete the whole fleet, but the Chinese navy has already killed in front of them. The eight new battleships, especially the 'Qin-class' battleship, whose huge, mountain-like body shocked all the soldiers of Britain, France and Russia.

"Oh God! Is that the new battleship of the Chinese? It's bigger than our most advanced 'Majestic' battleships! Many British naval soldiers have made such exclamations. The most advanced battleship of the British Navy, the 'Majesty-class' battleship, has a full load displacement of only 16,000 tons, while the Chinese Navy's 'Qin-class' battleship has a full load displacement of 23,500 tons, a full 7,500 tons, giving people a very strong visual impact.

In comparison, the Russian and French naval soldiers are even more unbearable. It was also the first time they had fought against the Chinese Navy, and it was also the first time they had seen such a huge battleship. Originally, after experiencing the attack of the Chinese Navy's submarines, their morale was greatly affected, and now in the face of the huge battleships of the Chinese Navy, their morale has once again plummeted, and many people are doubting in their hearts, this naval battle, can they really win? If there was a lot of confidence when they set out from Europe, they are very skeptical of it now.

"Hell, the Chinese battleships are actually even more advanced than ours. The British Empire is the real number one maritime power! "Algernon, commander of the Combined Fleet? McLennan? Ser Lyons was furious.

"Your Excellency, the Chinese battleships are indeed very powerful, but. There were only eight of them. We have twenty of them. We still have a chance! "Chief of Staff of the Fleet, Frederick? William? Sir Richards said.

Combined Fleet Commander Algernon? McLennan? Sir Lyons nodded. Numerical superiority has become the only thing they can rely on. Although he was no longer sure whether this numerical advantage would still have the desired effect, they had no choice but to bite the bullet.

"Order the 1st Battleship Detachment and the 2nd Battleship Detachment to form a battle line and prepare to meet the battleships of the Chinese Navy. The 4th and 5th battleship detachments. A second battle line was formed, ready to besiege the battleships of the Chinese Navy. The third battleship detachment, help armored cruisers, against heavy cruisers of the Chinese! "Algernon, commander of the Combined Fleet? McLennan? Sir Lyons gave the order.

The warships of the British, French, and Russian combined fleet, which received the order, immediately began to adjust their orientation. At present, there are only four battleships left in the 1st Battleship Detachment, namely the battleship 'Majesty', the battleship 'Victory', the battleship 'Jupiter', and the battleship 'Hannibal', and the 2nd Battleship Detachment also has only four battleships left, namely the battleship 'Mars', the battleship 'Caesar', the battleship 'Vitality' and the battleship 'Pavrel', exactly 8 battleships.

The 4th and 5th battleship detachments were the battleships of the Russian Navy. Out of the battleships that were sunk and heavily damaged, there were 7 left. The battleships Petropavlovsk, Rostislav, Gangut, the Three Saints, Catherine II, Georgi? The battleships Pobedonosets and Sinop also suffered heavy losses. And because of the performance of the battleship, it can only be used as a supplement.

As for the third battleship detachment, it consisted of the British Navy's 'Nile-class' battleships and 'Admiral'-class battleships, but now there are only six left, namely the 'Nile' battleship, the 'Collingwood' battleship, the 'Rodney' battleship, the 'Howe' battleship, the 'Camper' battleship and the 'Anson' battleship, which are all old battleships that have been in service for almost ten years, and they cannot compete with the new battleships of the Chinese Navy at all. Moreover, the heavy cruisers of the Chinese Navy have a displacement of more than 10,000 tons, which is nearly twice as large as the armored cruisers of the British and French navies. In order to stop the heavy cruisers of the Chinese Navy, the 3rd Battleship Detachment was to be thrown into battle to support the armored cruisers. It's just that these old battleships, with a maximum speed of only 17 knots and 16.5 knots, can catch up with the speed of the Chinese Navy's 'Beijing-class' heavy cruisers as high as 28 knots.

The combined fleet of Britain, France and Russia was not ready, but the home fleet of the Chinese Navy had already launched an attack. Battleships and heavy cruisers, already separated, launched an attack on the combined fleets of the British, French, and Russian powers. The light cruisers also began to attack the light cruisers and destroyers of the Combined Fleet, while the destroyers, guarding the battleships and heavy cruisers, were guarded around the battleships and heavy cruisers from torpedo attacks by the enemy.

Four 'Qin-class' battleships and four 'Zhonghua-class' battleships formed a battle line and attacked the unprepared battleships of the Combined Fleet at a high speed of 19 knots, seized the T-shaped prefix at high speed, and then exerted powerful firepower to deal a fatal blow to the Combined Fleet. The target of the Chinese Navy's attack was the Third Battleship Detachment of the British, French, and Russian Combined Fleet. Several other battleship detachments were in formation. And the 3rd Battleship Detachment, which was located just northeast of the combined fleet of Britain, France and Russia, was preparing to join the armored cruisers, so they did not turn. This gives the Chinese Navy a good chance.

At 7:20 a.m., the battle line, consisting of four 'Qin-class' battleships and four 'Zhonghua-class' battleships, stretched in front of the third battleship detachment of the Combined Fleet. The composition of the battleline of the Chinese Navy was the battleship Qin Shi Huang, the battleship Taizi Fusu, the battleship Qin II, the battleship Qin III, the battleship Zhonghua, the battleship Yanhuang, the battleship Huaxia and the battleship Shenzhou.

"Fire!" The gunners on the battleship 'Qin Shi Huang' gave the order to open fire. The four twin 305-mm naval guns on the battleship 'Qin Shi Huang' let out an earth-shattering roar. At this time, the two sides were 12,000 kilometers apart.

"Boom! Rumble! "Eight armor-piercing shells weighing more than 380 kilograms smashed at the battleship 'Nile', which was at the forefront of the Third Battleship Detachment of the Combined Fleet, at high speed. The huge recoil generated by the naval artillery bombardment caused the battleship 'Qin Shi Huang' to translate directly on the sea surface one meter away. The four twin-mounted main guns fired at the same time, and the resulting recoil was quite terrifying. Fortunately, both the 'Qin-class' battleships and the 'Zhonghua-class' battleships were specially reinforced, otherwise, the battleship would have to fall apart after a few rounds of salvos.

The battleship "Nile" was the lead ship of the "Nile-class" battleships of the British Navy, and only two battleships of the entire class were built, namely the "Nile" and "Trafalgar". However, the 'Trafalgar' had already been sunk during the previous submarine attack. The 'Nile-class' battleship is a battleship of the British Navy before the 'Sovereign-class' battleship, with a very old design, a displacement of 11,940 tons, a maximum speed of 17 knots, and two twin 343 mm naval guns with two main guns, which have been in service since 1890 and have been almost ten years now. In the British Navy, this type of battleship is a relatively old battleship.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Dense shells, exploded around the battleship 'Nile'. The first salvo of the battleship Qin Shi Huang did not achieve any results. However, the most recent shell was just over a hundred meters away from the battleship 'Nile'. To be able to achieve such a result at a distance of 12,000 kilometers is already very good. The main reason is that the 'Qin-class' battleships use second-generation fire control equipment, which is much more powerful than the first-generation fire control equipment in terms of artillery accuracy.

"Oh God! How is this possible? At a distance of 12,000 kilometers, the Chinese can fight so accurately? "The British officers and men on the battleship 'Nile' were dumbfounded. The British Navy is known as the number one in the world, but now, they have completely lost this self-confidence, at least, in terms of shelling, the Chinese Navy seems to be more powerful than them. Of course, they didn't know that the reason why the Chinese Navy was able to fight so accurately was mainly due to the strength of the fortress machinery.

According to the number of the first round of shelling, the battleship 'Qin Shi Huang' quickly adjusted, and at the same time sent the number jù to the other battleships.

At 7:25 a.m., the battleship 'Qin Shi Huang' fired a second salvo. The other seven battleships also began to fire salvos. The roar of artillery fire resounded over the sea, incessantly.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Dense shells, surrounded around the battleship 'Nile', and the jets of water splashed from the sea, wetting the battleship. Eight battleships of the Chinese Navy, a salvo is 64 shells, such a dense firepower, so that the "Nile" battleship has nowhere to escape.

"Boom!" A cannonball fired from the battleship Qin III accurately hit the bow of the battleship Nile, blowing a hole in the bow deck of the battleship Nile several meters in diameter. Although not fatal, the battleship 'Nile' was undoubtedly in a precarious position. The battleship "Nile" and the new battleships of the Chinese Navy are not of the same class at all, this is simply an asymmetrical battle! (To be continued.) )
