Although the two Ninghai-class battleships stabilized the two Peter the Great-class fast battleships under the operation of the high-quality officers and men of the Huaxia Navy, the two seven-level fast battleships are really powerful, and the Scharnhorst on the side of the Huaxia Navy is really a little weak! Pocket-sized is pocket-sized, and a simplified version of a fast battleship beats people's tyrant version of a fast battleship, which is naturally very miserable!

Count Spee, who had just been smug about killing an armored cruiser in seconds, looked at the fast battleship Amsterdam that was showing off his might. At this time, the Amsterdam fired at the Scharnhaust with only one turret, while the remaining guns were all used to support the Seven Provinces. This is not because of the arrogance of the Amsterdam, but because at this time, the Scharnhorst had already knocked out 2 turrets, one of which was because the two gun barrels were blown off, and the other was because the gun base was penetrated, and the entire turret was connected to the bomb channel below was destroyed, but fortunately, the German fire doors were still quite strong, keeping the fragments and flames out of the ammunition depot. At this time, the Scharnhorst really didn't have much combat power!

According to common sense, the Dutch should take advantage of your illness and kill you and concentrate their firepower to clean up the Scharnhorst. But at this time, things outside the battlefield affected the changes in the situation of the battle. In the face of this sudden appearance of the flagship of the German Far East Fleet, the Dutch inevitably thought a little too much! If this battleship was purchased by the Huaxia Navy before the war, the Dutch directly sank it without hesitation, after all, this is an ordinary arms trade, and there are not too many factors mixed in it, but at this time, the purchase of the line of fire is a little intriguing. The Germans clearly violated neutrality, and to some extent it is possible to say that the German Reich and the Chinese Republic entered into an alliance. And the Netherlands is unfortunate to be too close to the behemoth of Germany!

The Chinese Republic had just taken away the Dutch colonies. At most, the glory of this old colonial empire will be gone, but if the Germans take the opportunity to trouble the Dutch, then the Dutch government will not be able to eat and go around! Although this may not be very likely, the Dutch fleet did not dare to bet that the Germans would not take any countermeasures, and there was a way that the gods would fight and the imps suffered, and if the Russians sank, Germany might not immediately take any overreaction. But against the weak Netherlands, it was really uncertain, so the Dutchman decided to let the opponent go. His first enemy is the Huaxia Navy, and it is not good to make extraneous branches, and if Essen has to do this, it is better to let the Russians do it.

Ever since the Scharnhorst was beaten half to death. What is the situation of 4 capital ships fighting 3 capital ships, everyone can figure it out. Under the leadership of two absolutely powerful seven-level fast battleships, the three Ninghai-class battleships withstood the knocking of large-caliber guns again and again, and slowly could not bear it! At this time, all the remaining firepower of the three quasi-dreadnoughts is only 10 guns, and the opponent still has at least 16 large-caliber guns to use. There is no escape!

At this time, Cheng Biguang realized his situation early, and the sky was easy to make. It didn't even arrive at noon. Although the core compartment of the Ninghai-class battleship is still relatively complete, the water at the head and tail is serious, and the speed cannot be improved at all. In this case, if nothing else, the fleet under his command will be wiped out sooner or later. The cruiser formations behind are no longer good. The freed Russian-Dutch cruiser formations will naturally come to help, and with absolute superiority in firepower, how long can they hold out? Cheng Biguang has already experienced death, and he will not be too afraid after experiencing this feeling. The only thing that really made him unable to let go was where was the main fleet of the Huaxia Navy? Was Xu Jie's plan a success? Death is not a terrible thing, but it would be too bad to die meaninglessly. After all, their own fleet is also one of the pillars of the Huaxia Navy, if the plan fails, then where will the Huaxia Navy go in the future battle?

Just when Cheng Biguang was worried about the future of the Huaxia Navy, a telegram was sent to Cheng Biguang. There were only a few words on the telegram: "The main fleet has bitten the Makanov fleet, Your Excellency has completed the task!" Although it is just a dozen words, it is an affirmation of Cheng Biguang and others, which means that the plan has been realized, and his crisis will be resolved soon, and what he needs to do is to lead the fleet to sail in the direction of the open sea. Just get out of the battlefield. Of course, Essen can continue to pursue, but as long as someone with a little brain will give up this plan, the reason is very simple, Essen's fleet has also been beaten and half-crippled, and in the face of the 9 dreadnought capital ships of the Chinese Navy, Makanov's fleet will not last long, the only way is to immediately join up with the equally exhausted Essen fleet, and then forcibly rush out of the city! In this case, Essen was naturally in no mood to continue to entangle with himself. Essen should be able to tell.

What Cheng Biguang didn't expect was that Essen also had the same telegram in his hand at this time, if a telegram made Cheng Biguang feel a pleasant feeling from hell to heaven, then this telegram in Essen's hand made him feel the feeling of going from heaven to hell! The Chinese Navy Dreadnought Fleet, which Essen had been worried about, did not appear when he and Cheng Biguang were fighting to the death, but it cut off its own way back, and it had already met the main fleet led by Makanov! The Essen fleet is much stronger than Cheng Biguang's fleet, and similarly, the main fleet led by Yang Yonglin is much stronger than the Makanov fleet, 6 dreadnoughts of average level plus 2 quasi-dreadnoughts, and 9 super-first-class fast battleships and battleships are not looking for death? And Makanov didn't have much choice, after all, the opponents all had a considerable advantage in terms of speed, and the lineup of 5 fast battleships was enough to bite Makanov to the death! Moreover, the speed of the remaining 4 warships is generally higher than that of the Russian Navy.

On the one hand, their own back roads were cut off, and the entire Russian fleet was in danger of being dumpled. On the other side is a prey that is almost there! It took me more than 3 hours to pay a huge price in exchange for an opportunity, a chance to gather and annihilate a detachment of the opponent's fleet! To be honest, Essen really couldn't let go, looking at the scarred but still resisting Huaxia Navy fleet in the distance, Essen hesitated a little. The other party can't support it anymore. "Can I destroy the fleet in front of me first, and then turn back to support the main fleet? I'm afraid General Makanov would save a lot of time if he approached me at full speed, right? At this time, such a thought popped into Essen's mind.

At this time, Essen unconsciously put himself in the position of a supreme commander, he wanted the entire Russian-Dutch fleet to do what he wanted, this kind of thing has never been done in history! Even during the First Sino-Russian War, when Makanov handed over most of his forces to Essen for a breach of diplomatic relations, he never thought of letting the entire fleet revolve around him. As a general, being able to suddenly put yourself in the position of the overall strategic situation and consider war is naturally an improvement, even if it is inadvertent. But it's a pity that Essen's plan is destined not to be implemented this time! Because just before he was going to send a telegram to Makanov, Makanov's second telegram had already arrived!

"The main fleet is in crisis, quickly rendezvous with me. Give up everything in front of you! When Essen saw these words, the plan that had just taken shape in Essen's mind disappeared. As the best admiral of the Russian Navy, Makanov was able to say such things at this time, which in itself already reflects how serious this matter is! Since Makanov, who has always been strong, has allowed himself to give up everything, and he knows that he is about to succeed, this already shows that the war situation is almost out of control!

Makanov was a good boss, especially to Essen, who he trusted and regarded as his apprentice. He even wanted Essen to inherit his mantle as the de facto controller of the Russian Navy. So he will do his best to achieve himself, whether it is rights or asylum after failure, Makanov can say that he did the best. And today, when Essen himself seemed to be on the verge of success, Makanov's horizontal bar made it all come to naught. Essen also understands very well, but Essen still really wants to know in his heart, what is the situation on the ground that makes Makanov so anxious? According to his understanding, even if he can't beat and run, it's always okay to delay time, right?

So Essen had no choice but to order the fleet to immediately turn around and gather all the remaining warships and sail at full speed in the direction of Makanov's fleet, of course, this full speed could not have run directly to more than 22 knots as at the beginning, and all the ships were wounded and some were quite badly damaged, such as the hapless Sealand Province. So the speed of the Russian-Dutch Navy at this time was only about 17 knots. Before leaving, Essen looked at the group of Huaxia detachments in the distance that had been beaten and dried up, and began to evaluate the results of this battle.

The Taipei and Dalian of the Huaxia Navy have completely disappeared from the sea, and the Tianjin has not suffered much because the Varyag has been playing soy sauce. One of the two Garibaldi classes has lost its value for repair, and the other is estimated to be out of service for a few months. 5 armored cruisers have actually been scrapped 3. As for the main fleet, the Scharnhorst suffered the most losses due to its own performance, and it had already damaged the core module. As for the remaining 3 quasi-dreadnoughts of the Huaxia Navy, although they have lost most of their firepower, and the superstructure and the nose and tail armor have been riddled with holes, the core cabin is still complete, and the battleship is a battleship, how can the core compartment be so easy to break? In Essen's opinion, although these quasi-dreadnoughts have been severely damaged, they can still be used to go back for repair.
