"Boom!" A column of water rose on the starboard side of the battleship 'Collingwood', the flagship of the British Navy's home fleet, and the huge impact caused the British officers and men on the battleship to fall to the ground, and some unsuspecting people even fell very wolf. In particular, the officers in the bridge were all bruised and swollen.

"Damn it!" George's face covered in blood. Admiral Satrus got up from the deck, and when he fell, his head accidentally hit the corner of the table, knocking a gap, and bleeding out. However, George. Admiral Satrus couldn't care about that anymore.

"What's going on? Report Damage Management! "George. Admiral Satrus shouted loudly.

"The enemy's attack is coming from below the surface! Turn the rudder now! A sailor shouted loudly.

The battleship 'Collingwood' began to turn slowly. However, it is not an easy task for a warship with a displacement of more than 13,000 tons to turn, and it will take at least two minutes to turn. And during this time, another torpedo hit the battleship.

"Boom! Rumble! "Two explosions sounded in quick succession, and the bow of the battleship 'Collingwood' was torpedoed. The underwater armor was torn apart, and the icy sea water frantically poured into the battleship.

"Your Excellency Commander, the battleship is damaged, you must move immediately!" The captain of the battleship 'Collingwood' gave a sad look to George. Admiral Satrus reported. Hit one after another, the battleship has already suffered heavy damage, and whether it can escape this catastrophe, even he does not know. Attacks by the Chinese. It was so unexpected that they didn't expect it at all.

"It's over! The Royal Navy of the British Empire is completely finished! "George. Admiral Satrus muttered. Albeit. So far, he has not figured out how the Chinese Navy is attacking. However, this did not prevent him from anticipating the fate of the British Navy.

In this round of attacks by the Chinese Navy. Five battleships were heavily damaged and even sunk. This directly leads to the fact that the main forces of the British Navy have been severely damaged, and they can no longer occupy the advantage compared to the Chinese Navy. What's more, this strange attack by the Chinese Navy did not end there, and continued to happen. In the end, it is conceivable how many capital ships the British Navy will be able to leave.

"Your Excellency, Commander. This is a new type of weapon for the Chinese. Previously, their cruisers and destroyers were close to us in order to launch this new weapon at close range. Damn, this is a conspiracy of the Chinese from beginning to end, they have resorted to despicable and shameless tactics! "Fleet Chief of Staff Thomas. Lieutenant General Maitland shouted. However, he also expected that this time the British Navy's home fleet was estimated to be doomed. Once lost, the British Navy had no chance of turning the tables at all. Moreover. This would also lead directly to Britain's defeat in this war. It can be said that this war was directly related to the fate of Britain.

Originally, the British also hoped for a victory for the Tongguò navy to turn the tide for the British. But now. I didn't expect it to be such a result. The mighty British Navy actually fell into a trap carefully prepared by the Chinese. Defeat seems to be imminent.

The second batch of cruisers and destroyers of the Chinese Navy. The target of the attack was the five battleships at the rear of the British Navy's battle line. Six "Temperary-class" cruisers and nine "Tiangang-class Improved" destroyers fired torpedoes less than a kilometer from the battle line of the British Navy. Because the tragic situation of the first few battleships had already shocked the officers and men of the British Navy. Hence the rear of several battleships. In order to save their lives, their shelling was very heavy. This made the second batch of cruisers and destroyers of the Imperial Navy. Two of them were heavily damaged. However, even so, they held out until after firing the torpedo before retreating.

This time, the cruisers and destroyers of the second batch did not achieve as many results as the cruisers and destroyers of the first batch. After all, the torpedoes fired by both the 'Temperary-class Improved' cruiser and the 'Tiangang-class Improved' destroyer were 320-mm light torpedoes. The warhead of a light torpedo is filled with half the high explosives of a medium torpedo. Therefore, the damage inflicted on the enemy's battleships is very limited.

However, even so, the results achieved by the Imperial Navy were still very brilliant. Five battleships behind the battle line of the British Navy, under torpedo fire from the Imperial Navy, the battleship 'Ravage' was directly sunk. The 'Ravage' class battleships were originally the worst performing battleships of the British Navy. The battleship with a displacement of only 9,300 tons had a very weak defense. After being attacked by five more torpedoes, it was deservedly sunk.

The battleships "Ajax" and "Sheffield" had better luck and dodged several torpedoes. However, he ate two torpedoes separately and was seriously injured. The battleship was flooded with too much water, and although the loophole was finally plugged, the speed of the battleship was greatly affected. Once it loses speed, it will undoubtedly be besieged by the Chinese navy, and the end can be imagined.

The battleships 'Edinburgh' and 'Liverpool' were also damaged. However, as a 'giant-class' battleship with a displacement of 12,000 tons. Their defenses are a little stronger than both the Ajax-class battleships and the 'Ravage-class' battleships. Plus the power of light torpedoes is really not very good. So, the two battleships were only slightly damaged.

It can be said that this round of torpedo attacks by the Imperial Navy achieved very great results. Of the ten battleships of the British Navy, one was sunk and one was killed. Four others were badly damaged, and only two were slightly injured. With just one attack, the main force of the British Navy was directly wiped out. The losses incurred by the Imperial Navy were very minor, except that the cruisers and destroyers involved in the attack suffered a certain amount of damage. Most of them were minor, and very few were serious. Compared to the results they achieved, this damage was almost insignificant.

"Your Excellency, the 'Benbauer' sank, the 'Rodney' sank, the 'Anson' sank, the 'ravage' sank, the flagship 'Collingwood' was heavily damaged, the 'Giant' was heavily damaged, the 'Ajax' was heavily damaged, and the 'Sheffield' was heavily damaged. In addition, the 'Edinburgh' and 'Liverpool' suffered minor injuries and had a little combat effectiveness. Together with the 'Fury' that we sank earlier and the 'Birmingham' that withdrew from the battlefield due to heavy damage, there is not much left of the main force of the Royal Navy's home fleet! "Chief of Staff of the Home Fleet Thomas. Lieutenant General Maitland, his face was as earthy as an ear. Almost no one expected this to be the case.

The British Navy, with such a big advantage, was defeated in such a short time. And the losses they inflicted on the Chinese Navy are minimal. None of the eight battleships of the Chinese Navy were sunk, and at most they were slightly damaged. Combat effectiveness has not suffered much at all. Under such circumstances, the home fleet of the British Navy was undoubtedly a complete defeat.

"Damn the yellow-skinned monkeys, they resorted to despicable and shameless tactics. It's a trap they've set! "George. Admiral Satrus gritted his teeth and said, he desperately cursed the Chinese Imperial Navy in his heart, but his curse was useless, and the warships of the Chinese Navy would not be sunk because of this.

On the other hand, the British Navy itself, because the capital ships were almost completely lost. So, the results of this battle have already shown.

In the distance, the cruisers and destroyers of the Chinese Navy, after the first round of lightning strikes, withdrew and loaded torpedoes, preparing to launch a second round of attacks. However, the order from the flagship made them abandon the attack.

"Commander, the first round of attacks has already achieved very good results, as long as we carry out another round of attacks, we will be able to completely send all the British warships to the bottom of the sea!" Vice Admiral Ye Feng, Chief of Staff of the Fleet, had a smile on his face. Although he had long expected the victory of the 5th Fleet of the Chinese Navy, such a brilliant result was still beyond his expectations. There is no doubt that the 5th Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy has won this time.

"Order the fleet in front of you to stop attacking!" Lieutenant General Lu Haipeng's face was also full of smiles.

"Why?" Lieutenant General Ye Feng frowned.

"The British ships are not very good, but those ships that have been badly damaged, if they can be captured, can be used with a little repair. Even if we don't need it, we can sell it to our allies! Anyway, we have already won this battle, and there is no need to waste ammunition in order to expand the results! Lieutenant General Lu Haipeng said.

The sinking of a British naval warship was certainly a great pleasure. However, it was not possible to maximize the interests of the Imperial Navy. On the contrary, if the warships of the British Navy could be captured, it would undoubtedly be more in the interests of the Imperial Navy.

"Commander, will the British surrender? They are so proud! "Vice Admiral Ye Feng apparently thought that it was unlikely that the battleship would capture the British. After all, in the past few hundred years, the British have been the overlords of the seas, and they have always looked down on the Imperial Navy.

"Whatever it is, there's no harm in trying. Besides, even if they don't agree, we will be able to benefit the battleship's main guns and send them all into the sea! Lieutenant General Lu Haipeng said domineeringly! (To be continued......)
