The Dynasty-class battleships and the Dreadnought-class battleships were getting closer and closer, and on the Dynasty-class battleships, the Chinese sailors could even see in the telescope the huge turrets of the Dreadnought-class battleships, which were equipped with twelve 305-mm guns and deployed on six turrets in a twin set.

On the Dynasty class battleship, the rocket launch team is undoubtedly the busiest group of people, they are nervously adjusting the direction of the rocket launcher, as for how to adjust, it is up to the battleship fire control room to send the distance and direction data of the enemy ship, because the accuracy of the rocket is not as good as the artillery shell, so the aiming preparation time of the rocket is much longer than that of the artillery shell.

Fifteen thousand meters, fourteen thousand meters, and thirteen thousand meters, the Dynasty-class battleships and Dreadnought-class battleships are gradually approaching, and the aiming of the rocket launch group has also entered the final stage.

The distance soon came to 12,000 kilometers, and suddenly, a cloud of smoke rose from the Dreadnought-class battleship in the distance, and then a rumbling sound came from a distance, it was the sound of cannons, and the Dreadnought-class battleship was the first to fire at a distance of 12,000 kilometers.

The power of the 305 mm caliber main gun is amazing, and the same is true when the cannon is fired, on the dreadnought-class battleship, no one can stand around the turret when the gun is fired, as long as people dare to stand around the turret, the shock wave at the moment of the cannon disembowelment is enough to break people's bones and bones, and fly into the sea like a kite with a broken line.

The dreadnought-class battleships fired a salvo, and eight Dreadnought-class battleships, each with twelve 305-mm guns, for a total of ninety-six main guns, fired ninety-six shells at the Chinese fleet.

The entire Huaxia fleet was stunned, the dreadnought-class battleship actually had the strength to fire at 12,000 meters, and the 8,000 meters said before the war was completely wrong.

Due to the lack of accuracy of the shells, the shells of the dreadnought-class battleships all fell in front of the side of the Dynasty-class battleship linear, a distance of more than a hundred meters from the Dynasty-class battleship linear.

Although the cannonball did not hit the Dynasty class battleship, but the water wave stirred by the cannonball hit the Dynasty class battleship, this time the explosion power of the British cannonball is obviously stronger than before, when the Dynasty class battleship and the British battleship fought each other, I have seen the power of the British battleship shell, at that time, each of the shells can lift a 20-meter-high water column, and now the cannonball, the height of the water column is far more than 20 meters.

The waves shook the Dynasty battleship violently, which had a significant impact on the rocket launch group on the Dynasty class, which shook beyond the stability limit of the gyroscope stabilization system, and the rocket launch group had to re-aim.

Of course, Liu Daming knew this, he could only order, the rocket launch group re-aiming, but it took time to re-aim, during this time, the dreadnought-class battleship fired a salvo again, this time the impact point was closer than the last time, and the impact on the Dynasty-class battleship was also stronger, and the Dynasty-class battleship had just completed half of the reaiming was completely destroyed, and had to aim again.

However, when aiming again, the Dreadnought-class battleship fired another shell, and this time the shell formed a straddle fire on the Spring and Autumn ship, which meant that if the Dreadnought-class battleship fired another salvo, the Spring and Autumn ship could be hit.

In order to suppress the Dreadnought-class battleships and provide time for rocket aiming, Liu Daming ordered the 280-mm main guns to be fired, and the Dynasty-class battleships had six 280-mm guns, and the firing range barely reached 12,000 kilometers.

The four Dynasty-class battleships only had a total of twenty-four guns, and their combat effectiveness was far inferior to that of the eight Dreadnought-class battleships, so their shell firing was completely ineffective.

Liu Daming realized that his side was already at a complete disadvantage in this battle, and if he continued to fight, there would definitely be Dynasty-class battleships damaged.

Liu Daming immediately ordered: "All combat units, exit the battle." ”

It is actually entirely possible for the Dynasty-class battleships to withdraw from the battle, in order to make the shells and rockets more accurate, all the Dynasty-class battleships and Dreadnought-class battleships are moving at a speed of about thirteen knots, if the speed is too fast, the hull will shake very much, no matter who it is, the artillery will not be accurate.

Since the speed of the Dynasty-class battleships and the Dreadnought-class battleships were very slow, the Dynasty-class battleships could get rid of the firepower of the Dreadnought-class battleships as long as they accelerated, so Liu Daming gave such an order.

In naval battles with artillery as the decisive weapon, the hull of the ship must maintain a constant speed, otherwise the cannon will not be able to hit the target, once the battleship accelerates, it means the end of the combat mission.

The Dynasty-class battleships gave up the attack and began to retreat at full speed, but at this moment, the Dreadnought-class battleships fired another salvo, this time with a cannonball hitting the rocket launch platform behind the aft of the Spring and Autumn ship.

Although the shells fired by the dreadnought-class battleships were not special armor-piercing shells, the huge kinetic energy of the shells' flight also penetrated the stern protective armor of the dreadnought-class battleships, exploding directly inside the stern.

In order to reduce the probability of being hit directly, about half of the rockets are buried behind the stern armor, and as soon as the shells of the dreadnought-class battleships explode, the shock wave just swept through the rockets, although the rockets were packed in anti-detonation canisters, but they could not stop such a strong shock wave, and a rocket exploded.

The caliber of each rocket reached 400 mm, and the length of the warhead far exceeded that of the artillery shell, which made the explosive power of the rocket far exceed that of the artillery shell, and when one rocket exploded, the other rockets were detonated in the blink of an eye, and one rocket exploded like a string of sugar gourds, and the entire stern of the Spring and Autumn Ship was filled with dazzling fire.

Explosions followed one after another, smashing into the hearts of Liu Daming and the Huaxia sailors, and in the continuous explosions and fireballs rising into the air, the Spring and Autumn Ship sank into the sea within a minute.

The duel between the Dynasty-class battleship and the Dreadnought-class battleship, the duel between the Chinese Empire and the British Empire, the result was that a dynasty-class battleship sank, and the Chinese Empire lost......

The Chinese sailors exclaimed, the British sailors cheered, since the First World War, the British sailors have not been so happy, the shame of the Battle of the Sulu Sea, the shame of the entire British fleet being wiped out by the Chinese submarines, finally washed away today.

For British sailors, more importantly, Dynasty-class battleships have always been their nightmare, after the First World War, the threat theory of the Chinese Empire was popular, and all arms dealers in the Western world in order to sell more weapons, are boasting about how powerful the weapons and equipment of the Chinese Empire are, and the Dynasty-class battleships are the representatives of them.

Because the Dynasty-class battleships had rockets, they were held up to the sky by Westerners, and even the "nonsense" that a Dynasty-class battleship could fight against ten British battleships on the battlefield was full of "nonsense", and the Dynasty-class battleships were the first battleships in the world, and the invincible "myths" were running all over the streets.

Now that a dynasty-class battleship has been sunk, how could the British not be happy?

One Dynasty-class battleship was sunk, and the other Huaxia Empire battleships were far away from the area of engagement, and they didn't even rescue the overboard sailors, because the Spring and Autumn ships sank so fast that no one escaped at all.

Three Dynasty-class battleships and eight Emperor-class cruisers sailed towards the port of Zhurongcheng, the British fleet did not catch up, but sailed directly to the route from Zhurongcheng to Dayu City, the British wanted to continue to hunt the merchant ships of the Huaxia Empire, forcing Lin Fei to agree to their conditions.

Liu Daming led the fleet back to Zhurongcheng Military Port, and did not make public the news that a dynasty-class battleship was sunk, Liu Daming knew that if he made this matter public, it would inevitably cause panic among the people, and the Huaxia Navy was an invincible existence among the people, and now it has failed, who can accept this reality.

Liu Daming, who has always been joking and heartless, is now in no mood to laugh, he went to Lin Fei with a heavy face, told Lin Fei the whole defeat, and then said gloomily: "I am all to blame for this matter, if I order to attack the British fleet at a distance of 15,000 meters, the rest of the matter will not happen." ”

Lin Fei shook his head lightly and said: "You can't be blamed for this matter, no matter who is standing in your position, they will definitely wait until they are 10,000 meters away before launching the rocket, and if you want to blame this matter, you should blame me." ”

"The Spring and Autumn Ship died of rocket explosions, because I didn't think it through when I designed the Dynasty-class battleship, and the rockets were deployed too much, so that they were too dense, and the design of the anti-detonation canisters was not up to standard."

Liu Daming hurriedly asked, "Then what now?" Hell-class submarines can't be counted on, the Dynasty-class battleships are the most powerful weapons of naval warfare in our hands, how can we fight in the future? ”

Lin Fei pondered for a moment and said: "Now we can only exchange time with sacrifice, so let's order that in the last fifteen days, all merchant ships are not allowed to leave Zhurong City, and all merchant ships entering Zhurong City will be suspended, and when our Hell-class submarines and other Dynasty-class battleships arrive, we will fight a decisive battle with the British fleet." ”

Although Liu Daming didn't understand economic matters, he also knew that Lin Fei had made a great sacrifice like this, and if Rongcheng was suspended for fifteen days, thousands of factories would be implicated, and the economic losses would be astronomical.

Lin Fei continued: "In order to prevent the British fleet from attacking other ports, we order our hot air balloon carriers and Monkey King airships to monitor the movements of the British Navy at all times, and if they are found to be close to other ports, they will immediately issue a warning and let that port be completely suspended." ”

Liu Daming reluctantly agreed, turned around and left, and at this moment, Xiyun suddenly ran in and said to Lin Fei: "Husband, Liu Jingkong, deputy commander-in-chief of the Air Force, asks to see you."
