At the critical moment, Major Kondla, who was in charge of damage management, ordered the ammunition depot to be filled with water, and it was only then that the battleship was spared. But even so, the battleship had been brought to the surface of the water due to too much water, and the ammunition depot had flooded, so it had basically lost its combat effectiveness, and the captain had to give the order to withdraw from the battle.

In the blink of an eye, Dewey had already lost two battleships, but the matter was not over, although the first wave of torpedo attacks did not achieve results in the evasion of the opponent, but the destroyer fleet quickly turned back on its own speed and agility, and after entering the effective distance, the second wave of torpedo attacks began.

"Turn right and drop the torpedo." With the loud orders of the captains of the destroyers, all the destroyers drew an arc about 300 meters away from the battleship, and in order to be able to improve the hit rate, they risked choosing a closer distance, and a large number of torpedoes drew a straight waterline towards the battleship.

Dewey was so frightened that he shouted orders to evade, but unfortunately the huge body of the battleship was very difficult to evade, and each battleship had several destroyers firing torpedoes from different angles.

At the critical juncture, the cruiser, which had already seen that the battleships were threatened, simply withstood the fire of the cruiser Thor and got rid of the other side, and intervened at high speed, several cruisers blocked the torpedo attack line with their own hulls, and there was a burst of torpedo explosions, and the three cruisers were hit by several torpedoes, and soon began to sink.

Due to the fact that the destroyer of Saar fired too many torpedoes and the cruiser was in a hurry, two torpedoes still leaked and each hit a battleship, but fortunately, the battleship was rough and thick-skinned, and one torpedo was not a big problem.

The destroyers of the Saar Navy turned again, and their cruiser fleet copied up from the rear, also intending to launch torpedoes nearby. When did the Boston Navy, which did not have much combat experience in the era of ironclad ships, see such ferocious hand-to-hand combat tactics, they immediately panicked, and when they saw that something could not be done, Vice Admiral Dewey, who had already begun to fight timidly, immediately ordered all warships to speed up the withdrawal from the battle.

After losing a battleship and a cruiser again, Dewey's fleet finally managed to get rid of the opponent and finally escaped from the opponent's attack range, and Dewey immediately ordered the fleet to retreat at full speed in the direction of the Boston Empire, and even the previously withdrawn transport fleet did not bother to look for it.

This battle fully demonstrated the strength of the Sahr Navy as the world's largest naval power, and its tactics were fierce and effective, without giving the opponent a chance to breathe, so that the Boston Navy had lost most of its strength before it could carry out a decent attack, and finally had to flee in disgrace.

Vice Admiral Betty did not order the pursuit, he knew very well that those transports must be used to load infantry to attack his own colony, and if they were allowed to land, the current weak colonial garrison of the Thar Empire was no match for him, so Vice Admiral Betty's fleet immediately turned around and pursued in the direction of the retreat of the transport fleet.

The transport fleet was only eight knots fast, not to mention that the naval battle ended with the retreat of the Boston fleet in less than half an hour, so they did not go far, and soon the Thar naval fleet, which was in full pursuit, followed.

The world war has reached this point, and the Sahr people have long lost their gentlemanly demeanor, not to mention the Saar people are quite angry at the betrayal of the Boston people. Therefore, Betty did not give the other side a chance to surrender, and directly ordered to fire at the transport ship.

The Sahr fleet dispersed, surrounded the Boston transport fleet, and the dense shells fired at the transport fleet, and the Saar people did not have the slightest mercy and carried out a frenzied artillery bombardment.

The bombardment was a naked massacre, and without resistance, the Boston Empire's transport ships were hit one after another, all of which were civilian vessels, and in order to increase their cargo capacity, they had very few watertight compartments.

These ships, which were poorly resistant to sinking and had no armor protection, were wantonly rubbed by naval guns, and soon sank one after another, and a large number of army soldiers fell into the water.

Lieutenant General Betty knew very well that there were too many of these Bostonians and that it would be very difficult for them to deal with them once they were captured, not to mention that they had a task on their shoulders and had no time to delay.

For the sake of a more important task, Vice Admiral Betty did not give the Bostonians a chance to surrender, he hardened his heart and ordered all the small-caliber guns and machine guns on each warship to strafe the sea, and the destroyers to repeatedly cruise and attack in the sea area, and not let go of a single living mouth.

An hour later, the sea had turned red, and tens of thousands of Boston soldiers were killed or eaten by sharks that arrived after them, and the brutal and bloody scene made many Sahr sailors vomit.

Betty looked at the tragic scene in front of her with red eyes and muttered: "This is the end of your betrayal, who made you betray the Entente and turn to the Allies, we don't hate the enemy, because they are already hostile to us, only traitors are the most hateful, because their guns are pointed at their former friends." ”

The Boston Empire had long been considered an invisible ally of the Entente, so when the Boston Empire announced its membership in the Confederate bloc, it attracted more hatred, and both the Saar and Nantes regarded them as traitors, so they hated the Boston people the most. After filling up the port of Guinea with coal, Vice Admiral Beatty's fleet set sail again and headed for the east coast of the Boston Empire.

After receiving the report from Vice Admiral Dewey, who had returned from the defeat, the Boston military had already lost hope for the transports and the officers and men of the army. The mentality of the Entente at this time, the Boston Imperial Government knew very well that under such a hateful mentality, those officers and soldiers must be more than lucky.

Vice Admiral Dewey didn't know whether he was shirking responsibility or not at all, he insisted that he had fallen into the trap of the Saar people and that he was completely ambushed, so the Boston Imperial military did not expect that this battle was just an encounter, and he did not even think about the Saar Imperial Navy wanting to attack his east coast.

After this defeat, the Boston Imperial Intelligence Agency, which had been criticized at home, made a scapegoat, and Washington III ordered them to purge themselves and the Navy to find out the leakers of this time to prevent the Navy from leaking again.

The Intelligence Bureau suffered an unwarranted disaster and was cleaned up from top to bottom, and the Intelligence Bureau personnel who were lucky enough to escape the purge also hated the Navy to the core, so in the following operation, the Boston Navy suffered an even harsher cleanup, many experienced officers were ordered to retire or arrested, and the Navy's combat effectiveness plummeted.
