The last H5D Fish Eagle dive bomber dropped the bomb and began to fly south. On the battlefield, all the carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy also left, leaving only the combined fleet of the United States and the British Navy after being ravaged. In the first wave of attacks, the Chinese Navy's carrier-based aircraft force achieved fruitful results, but it itself lost only five aircraft, including one F5B Puffin fighter, two H5C Osprey torpedo attack aircraft and two H5D Fish Eagle dive bombers. Although Xìng lost five planes at a time, it was nothing compared to the results they had achieved! You know, the cost of a sunken battleship is almost as much as the cost of all the planes on an aircraft carrier!

After all the carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy flew away, the combined fleet of the United States and the British Navy breathed a sigh of relief. However, looking at those battleships that were burning, or even sinking, made the top brass of the combined fleet cry without tears, and their faces were quite ugly. In the wave of attacks just now, the Combined Fleet paid heavy losses. Moreover, even by this time they had not yet figured out where the Chinese planes were flying from. You know, the islands near the battlefield are all in the sphere of influence of the United States, and there is no airport for any Chinese at all!

Inside the bridge of the battleship 'Pennsylvania', the commander of the Combined Fleet, William Brown. Admiral Benson's face sank as if he could drip water. Although the battleship 'Pennsylvania' had better luck and escaped a deadly attack, it was not strictly damaged by the attack. But William. Admiral Benson was not at all glad. Because. The other 'Pennsylvania-class' battleships lost Yan zhòng. This made William, who used the 'Pennsylvania-class' battleships as the main force in this naval battle. Admiral Benson was furious!

"Your Excellency, Commander. The losses have been counted! "Edward. Lieutenant General Abor came to William. Admiral Benson's side, reported to him.

"How many ships did we lose?" William. Admiral Benson asked with a blank face. Although Edward. Lieutenant General Abor had already counted the results, but he had no intention of reaching out to receive the battle report. Edward. Lieutenant General Abor had no choice but to read out the battle damage!

"Your Excellency, Commander, during the attack of the Chinese, we had three battleships sunk, two battleships were seriously damaged, and three battleships were slightly damaged! In addition, a heavy cruiser and a destroyer were sunk! Among them, the battleships that sank were the 'Missouri'. Iowa and Oklahoma. The battleships that were heavily damaged were the USS Alabama and the USS Arizona. The battleships that were lightly damaged were the USS Pennsylvania, USS New Jersey and USS Nevada. "Edward. Lieutenant General Abor reported.

Although it was already clear that the losses would be very large, when the battle damage came out, this loss still made William. Admiral Benson couldn't help but gasp. The three sunken battleships, including two Pennsylvania-class battleships and one Nevada-class battleship, protected one Pennsylvania-class battleship and one Nevada-class battleship. You know, the 'Pennsylvania-class' battleships and the 'Nevada-class' battleships are the absolute main force in this naval battle! In this wave of attacks by the Chinese, so many main forces were lost, which made them how to carry on the subsequent battles!

"Your Excellency, the British battleship 'Queen Elizabeth' has also been severely damaged! Only the Massachusetts is now unscathed. Do you think the flagship will be changed to the battleship 'Massachusetts'? "Edward. Lieutenant General Abor asked.

William. Admiral Benson shook his head stubbornly. Originally, the combined fleet of the United States and Britain had a total of seven battleships that could compete with the 'Tang-class' battleships of the Chinese Navy. Two have already been sunk. Two ships were heavily damaged, two more were slightly damaged, and only one was unscathed. The consequence of such direct guidance is that even if it encounters the main force of the Chinese Navy's expeditionary fleet, the combined fleet of the United States and the British Navy will not have enough capital ships to suppress the Chinese Navy's 'Tang-class' battleships. You must know that the original 'Tang-class' battleships were stronger than the British Navy's 'Queen Elizabeth-class' battleships and the U.S. Navy's 'Pennsylvania-class' battleships. It is expected that only the 'Revenge class' battleships being built by the British Navy and the 'New Mexico class' battleships of the US Navy will be able to compete with them. Before William. Admiral Benson also tried to win by virtue of numerical superiority. But now, the numerical comparison between the most powerful battleships on both sides seems to have undergone a radical shift!

"Your Excellency, what shall we do now? Do you want to continue south? "Edward. Lieutenant General Abor asked. All the confidence of the combined fleet of the United States and the British Navy is based on the fact that the number of capital ships is three times that of the expeditionary fleet of the Chinese Navy. But now, the Chinese plane actually appeared suddenly, which undoubtedly made a fundamental change in the strength of both sides. The possibility of victory for the joint naval fleet of the United States and Britain seems to be very slim, and the confidence of many naval officers and men has also been shaken. You must know that before the battle began, both the United States and the United States Navy declared to everyone that with the strong strength of the US Navy and the support of the British Navy, they would definitely be able to defeat the Chinese Navy's expeditionary fleet in this naval battle, and even completely annihilate the Chinese Navy. However, the real situation now is as if they have been slapped in the face. If the Chinese planes continue to attack, they will not only fail to win, but will lose completely!

William. Admiral Benson was also a little confused. Under the attack of Chinese aircraft this time, three battleships of the Combined Fleet have been sunk, three more battleships have been severely damaged, and the losses are still the most powerful battleships. Under such circumstances, it is already very difficult for the combined fleet of the United States and Britain to win. But if he retreated, he was very unwilling. What if the Chinese only have hundreds of planes? And the Chinese planes flying from afar were able to carry out only this one attack. In this case, the combined fleet of the US and British navies will also have the possibility of victory. The remaining capital ships of the Combined Fleet are now as high as more than 30, and even if they engage in a fierce battle with the main force of the Chinese Navy, the outcome is still unknown!

"Order the fleet, continue south! Find the main forces of the Chinese for a decisive battle! "William. A hint of determination flashed in Admiral Benson's eyes! He now pins all his hopes on that the Chinese planes will not attack them again.

"Your Excellency Commander, if the Chinese's planes can still attack, then aren't we looking for death if we continue to go south?" Edward. Lieutenant General Abor raised his own questions!

"Although we still don't know exactly where the Chinese's plane took off. But I think that those planes are already the limit of the Chinese! Although these planes have caused us huge casualties, our main force is still there! If we can find the main force of the Chinese Navy's expeditionary fleet in time, we still have a chance to win! "William. Admiral Benson said resolutely!

"Your Excellency, Commander, but what if we continue to be attacked by Chinese planes?" Edward. Lieutenant General Abor asked!

"Then, we will lose this battle!" William. Admiral Benson said coldly. However, he believes that this will not be the case, and the combined fleet still has a great hope of winning!

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!" Edward. Lieutenant General Abor was unable to convince William. Admiral Benson, I have to stop persuading!

However, when the order was given, the commander of the British fleet, John . Morality. Admiral Robeck objected! He believes that since the Chinese aircraft have appeared, the combined fleet has lost the opportunity to win this naval battle. What should be done now is to retreat immediately in order to preserve the strength and avoid a total defeat.

However, William. Admiral Benson still insisted on going south to fight the Chinese Navy's expeditionary fleet! With the current situation of the war unfavorable to the United States, he was under tremendous pressure as a naval commander. At the same time, he also knows what kind of blow this will deal to the United States if the combined fleet cannot win. Perhaps the United States will be quickly defeated in a very short period of time. Therefore, he can only gamble for the sake of the United States! Although the outcome is unknown, he firmly believes that the final victory will definitely belong to the United States!

William. Admiral Benson and John. Morality. Admiral Robeck could not convince anyone. John. Morality. Admiral Robeck even offered the British fleet to retreat alone. If the U.S. Navy wanted to die, the British fleet would not have paid for itself. John. Morality. Admiral Robeck's words made William. Admiral Benson was furious. Now the United States and Britain are still allies! The purpose of the joint fleet formed by the two sides was to defeat the Chinese navy and win this world war. But now that they had just suffered a little loss, those British wanted to slip away and let the US Navy deal with the Chinese alone, which made William . How can Admiral Benson accept it!

Standing John. Morality. From Admiral Robeck's position, even if the Combined Fleet was disbanded, it would not be a big loss for Britain. As long as he can bring all the ships back to England intact, then he will still be a hero!

Finally, Edward. Vice Admiral Abor mentioned yì, with the U.S. Navy in front and the British fleet in the rear, sailed south in this formation. If it is attacked by Chinese planes again, the British fleet can make other choices! John. Morality. Admiral Robeck finally agreed to the plan! )
