"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The shells were like raindrops, constantly falling around the 'Meng Tian' battlecruiser, and one after another water columns rose from the sea, splashing the deck of the 'Meng Tian' battlecruiser. The remaining seven battleships of the British and French navies all aimed their firepower at the battlecruiser 'Mengtian'. At this moment, the battlecruiser 'Meng Tian' is like a small ship in a storm, and it is in danger of sinking at any time.

"Fire! Sink this battlecruiser! "On the battleship 'Dreadnought', British Admiral Edward Seamo excitedly ordered that since the beginning of the naval battle, one battleship of the British and American navies had been sunk, and two battleships had been severely damaged, and they had to withdraw from the battlefield. And the Chinese Navy, not a single battleship has been sunk. Now I finally have such an opportunity, of course, I can't let it go!

"Boom! Rumble! "As the British and American navies continued to close the distance between the battlecruiser and the 'Mengtian', the location where the shells fell was getting closer and closer to the battlecruiser 'Mengtian'. The battlecruiser 'Mengtian', whose speed had dropped by half, had obviously lost its chance to escape. However, the battlecruiser "Meng Tian" did not sit still, but fought back. Four twin 305mm guns fired at the USS Louisiana. This battleship was the main culprit for the damage to the battlecruiser 'Meng Tian'. Therefore, even if the battlecruiser "Mengtian" dies itself, he hopes to carry the battleship "Louisiana" on his back!

"Fire! Hit the fire, bombard the 'Dreadnought' battleship and sink their flagship! "On the battleship 'Qin Shi Huang', Vice Admiral Li Haitao had a gloomy face and gave the order to open fire. Four more battleships and two battlecruisers of the Chinese Navy. They all set their sights on the British Navy's 'Dreadnought' battleship, wanting to sink the 'Dreadnought' battleship and avenge the 'Meng Tian' battlecruiser.

"Boom! Rumble! "Dense shells, exploding around the battleship 'Dreadnought'. The situation of the battleship Dreadnought is also very dangerous! Not to be sure, before they sank the battlecruiser Mengtian, the battleship Dreadnought had already been sunk.

"General, the Chinese have taken us as a target, and the 'Dreadnought' is in a very dangerous situation!" A staff officer said to Admiral Edward Seamo. The Chinese Navy has bombarded the battleship Dreadnought with all its might. Under such a fierce attack, it was not possible to sink the battlecruiser 'Meng Tian' of the Chinese Navy, and the battleship 'Dreadnought' was sunk first. It is obviously very cost-effective to exchange a battleship for a battlecruiser of the Chinese Navy!

"Never mind that, the Dreadnought is a battleship. The armor is thicker than the Chinese battle cruisers, and we must sink the Chinese battle cruisers before they are sunk! Admiral Edward Seamo ordered. He apparently intended to take a gamble on whether the battleship 'Dreadnought' would be sunk first, or the Chinese battlecruiser would be sunk first. However, judging from the current situation, there is a high probability that the battle cruiser 'Meng Tian' of the Chinese Navy will be sunk first!

"Boom!" In the midst of a violent explosion. The battlecruiser 'Meng Tian' shook violently. The officers in the bridge were all thrown to the ground. Obviously, the battlecruiser 'Mengtian' was hit again.

"Report the loss!" The captain of the battlecruiser 'Meng Tian' got up from the ground and said loudly.

A minute later. Damage management personnel reported. The rear deck of the battlecruiser "Mengtian" was shot, the main gun No. 4 was destroyed, and the firepower of the battlecruiser "Mengtian" dropped by a quarter!

"Keep firing! Sink the Americans' battleship 'Louisiana'! "Even if it was hit again, the battlecruiser 'Mengtian' continued to fight!

"Boom!" The counterattack of the battlecruiser 'Mengtian'. The effect was obtained. A shell hit the front main gun of the battleship 'Louisiana'. Directly overturned this main gun.

At the same time, the remaining six warships of the Chinese Navy were fiercely attacking the British Navy's battleship "Dreadnought", and dense shells fell around the "Dreadnought" battleship, hitting this battleship in danger. The British sailors above also raised their hearts to their throats, for fear of being hit!

"Boom!" The good fortune of the battleship 'Dreadnought' seems to have ended there. A shell hit the port side of the battleship 'Dreadnought', destroying two main guns, and detonating a bunch of 76mm secondary guns, blowing up the entire port side. However, such damage was not fatal to the battleship 'Dreadnought', which was more than 20,000 tons!

"Boom! Rumble! "The besieged battleship 'Mengtian' once again hit the battleship 'Louisiana', and this time, God opened his eyes and two shells hit the battleship 'Louisiana'. One hit the port side of the Louisiana, destroying the main gun located on the port side. The other hit the boiler compartment of the Louisiana. The hot steam leaked out of the boiler and instantly killed the American sailors inside! At the same time, the Louisiana's speed immediately slowed down.

This made the Chinese naval officers and men on the battlecruiser "Meng Tian" very satisfied, and although they were not able to sink the battleship "Louisiana", they at least damaged the battleship. The battleship Louisiana, which was slowing down, would have been difficult to escape. Even if the battlecruiser 'Meng Tian' was sunk, other Chinese naval warships would be able to catch up with this battleship and sink him to avenge the 'Meng Tian'.

"Boom!" At 2:53 p.m., a shell hit the bridge of the battleship 'Meng Tian'. The bridge armor of the battlecruiser 'Mengtian' was not able to withstand this armor-piercing shell. The armor was pierced, and the shells exploded inside the bridge. More than a dozen officers, including the captain of the ship, were all martyred! Next, shells continued to hit the battlecruiser "Mengtian", which made the "Mengtian" battlecruiser more and more seriously injured. By 3:12 p.m., the side of the battleship 'Meng Tian' was hit, and a hole more than three meters long was torn below the waterline. After the efforts of the damage management personnel, they could not close the loophole. The ferocious sea water poured into the 'Meng Tian' battle cruiser, and the 'Meng Tian' battle cruiser began to tilt. Five minutes later, the battlecruiser 'Meng Tian' capsized on its side and finally sank slowly into the Mediterranean. Of the more than 600 naval officers and sailors on board, only more than 100 managed to escape, and the rest sank to the bottom of the sea with the warship. The battle cruiser "Meng Tian" also became the first capital ship lost by the Chinese Navy after the Great War!

"Commander, the 'Meng Tian' is on the battlefield, and until the moment before it sank, they were still firing cannons!" Rear Admiral Wu Zhiyuan, chief of staff of the Indian Ocean Fleet, said with red eyes.

"Keep firing! Sink the battleship 'Dreadnought'! Lieutenant General Li Haitao gritted his teeth and ordered.

The battleship 'Dreadnought', like an unbeatable Xiaoqiang, has been hit three times by the Chinese Navy, but it has still not been hit. The battle continues, which makes the Chinese Navy very angry.

"Haha, sink the Chinese warship. Below, two more battle cruisers aimed at the Chinese opened fire! Admiral Edward Seamo ordered excitedly. Pinch the persimmon and pick the soft one! It is clear that Admiral Edward Seamo took the battle cruisers of the Chinese Navy as soft persimmons! The battleships of the Chinese Navy, with their rough skin and thick flesh, are difficult to sink. And the battle cruiser, which is weakly armored but has strong firepower, is undoubtedly the best target for attack!

"Boom!" At this time, the battleship 'Dreadnought' suddenly shook, and Admiral Edward Seamo, who was laughing, fell to the ground at once, and his head hung on the corner of the table, and suddenly a long gash appeared, and blood flowed everywhere!

"Medic, come on, the general is bleeding!" A group of staff officers, shouting loudly!

Soon, paramedics arrived to bandage Admiral Edward Seamo's wounds.

"Where did you get shot?" Admiral Edward Seamo asked.

"General, the stern of the ship has been shot, the steering gear has been destroyed, and we can't turn around!" Damage management personnel report!

"Hell!" Admiral Edward Seamo's good mood suddenly disappeared without a trace. The steering gear was damaged and unable to turn the rudder, which meant that the fate of the Dreadnought would be very tragic in the heat of naval battle. If the British and American navies could not achieve the final victory, the battleship 'Dreadnought' would definitely be sunk in the end!

"General, please transfer immediately! Transfer to the battleship 'Barrier' and continue to command the battle! The staff officers built a road one after another. Four battleships of the British Navy, HMS Discord was sunk and HMS Solemn was heavily damaged and fled from the battlefield. Now the 'Dreadnought' has also been heavily damaged, and only the battleship 'Barrier' remains!

Admiral Edward Seamo did not say much, and immediately followed a group of staff officers, took a transport boat, and transferred from the battleship "Dreadnought" to the battleship "Barrier". At 3:20 p.m., the flagship flag was raised from the battleship 'Barrier'. As for the battleship Dreadnought, his fate depended on whether the Chinese side won the naval battle, or the British and American sides won the victory.

"Aim at the Chinese battlecruisers and fire!" On the battleship USS Connecticut, Admiral Benson was giving orders. The Louisiana was badly damaged, which made him very unhappy.

Suddenly, the lookout of the battleship 'Connecticut' gave a loud warning.

"1500 meters to the left, two torpedoes! Hurry up and avoid it! ”
