The 1st Squadron of the Chinese Light Patrol was commanded by Colonel Zhu Qun on the "Green Leopard" and had under its jurisdiction three ships of the same class as the "White Leopard", "Leopard" and "Xuanbao", and the five 150-millimeter main guns could be used on one side of a single ship, and the four ships of the squadron had a total of 20 guns, while the three "Bristol" class guns of the 4th Squadron of the British Light Patrol on the opposite side could use two 6-inch (152 mm) and five 4-inch (102 mm) guns on one side, and the three ships of the squadron had a total of 6 6-inch guns and 15 4-inch guns, and the firepower advantage was obviously on the side of the Chinese army.

Less than 10 minutes after the two sides engaged, the foremast of the "Bristol" collapsed, the hull of the ship tilted, the engine of the "Glasgow" stalled and the fire raged, and the "Liverpool," which had been hit by bullets in many places but did not hurt the vital point, saw that the situation was not good, pulled out the smoke screen and was about to escape.

Four Caroline-class light cruisers "Caroline", "Cordelia", "Kommas", and "Conquest" suddenly plunged diagonally into the front of the route of the Chinese light patrol column at high speed, and eight 6-inch guns and 16 4-inch guns swept the leading "Green Leopard" at close range, and immediately hit the "Green Leopard" vomiting fire, followed by eight 21-inch torpedoes fired one after another -- at the end of the criss-crossing thundertracks, a huge wave exploded, the "Green Leopard" shook violently, the bow of the ship was lifted high out of the water, and then it fell with a bang, rushing into the monstrous waves, and the mist dissipated. The vigorous "green leopard" has become a crooked "paralyzed leopard".

Seeing that the flagship was seriously injured and suspended, the "White Panther" immediately raised a letter of "follow me" and led the team to bravely return fire, and a salvo shot off the No. 1 chimney of the "Caroline," and at the same time fired four torpedoes at the "Glasgow," which had lost power, and one hit the bow ammunition depot. The 480-ton cruiser was blown into two pieces, and disappeared without a trace after three minutes.

Commodore Goodnov's 2nd Light Patrol Team immediately concentrated its firepower on attacking the "White Panther", and the "Liverpool," which had been preparing to pull out its feet and slip away, also regained its courage and then returned to fight again, and the battle situation reversed, and the "White Panther" was shot one after another, and the fire once engulfed the bridge, and was forced to change to manpower steering. "Leopard" also began to enter the water and lose speed.

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the "White Panther" promptly issued a signal to "turn around and turn around" and took the lead in releasing the smoke screen to break away, and the "Leopard" and "Xuan Panther" fired torpedoes in a salvo and then withdrew, one of which hit the "Komas" amidship. Causing the boiler room to explode, a large cloud of black and white smoke instantly enveloped the whole ship and soared into the sky, and the "Komas", which lost power and tilted sharply, struggled and floated for 30 minutes before being disposed of by the sister ship "Conquest" with a lightning strike.

The "Green Leopard", which floated like a dead fish, became the object of anger for other British ships. The vengeful "Liverpool" circled it three times, firing hundreds of shells. It was "lit into a big torch", but the stubborn "Green Panther" remained afloat on the surface of the sea, until the impatient "Caroline" rushed forward and gave it two torpedoes.

There was no detonation, no overturning, as if a real leopard jumped into the water from a height. The hull is erected at a large angle, and the bony tail is raised high. Almighty gravity gravitates mercilessly, and this 5,900-ton contemporary first-class cruiser is gracefully stance. In just half a minute, a large amount of splash foam was spewed. Completely submerged from beginning to end.

At the moment when the "Green Panther" sank, the blue-gray figures of the "White Panther" and other three ships suddenly rushed out of the smoke screen, and this dramatic scene surprised Commodore Goodnov, who thought that the general situation was decided.

Without waiting for Goodnov to organize the scattered ships, the "Bristol," which had been suspended for repairs, had already become the target of the Chinese cruisers, and after several rounds of deadly salvos, twelve torpedoes dragged foam and rushed in a staggered manner, and two loud noises less than 10 seconds apart obscured the sun, and the "Bristol," which had no way to evade, broke into three pieces, and sank one after another in two minutes, and only four of the 367 crew members under Commodore Admiral Adran survived.

The angry British ships began to return fire, the "White Panther" caught fire again and lost its command ability, the "Xuanbao" backmast was broken, and the "Leopard" raised the pilot flag in time, leading the "White Panther" and "Xuanpanther" to disappear from the field of vision of Commodore Goodnov with thick white smoke......

South End. When Rear Admiral Haas, commander of the British No. 2 Cruiser Squadron on the "Bedford", identified the shadows of the six Chinese Yamazi fast-loading cruisers from the telescope. His first reaction was, "It's terrible."

Rear Admiral Haas had only four S-class armored cruisers. This is a work of mediocrity that is not outstanding in all respects. The armor was thinner - the main armor belt was no thicker than 4 inches (102 mm). Weak firepower - the standard platoon of 9,800 tons of ground hull is equipped with only 14 6-inch medium-caliber guns (2 twins. 10-seater single-mounted. 9 guns can be used on any one side) and there are no other mainstream guns of the same tonnage of the same era that patrol the ground with a large caliber gun of more than 8 inches. The speed is 22 to 23 knots. By this time, it was completely obsolete. In the main fleet, it is only barely a number.

It is commonly known as the "Shanzi" Kunlun-class armored cruiser by the Chinese army. It can be called the most powerful large cruiser in terms of comprehensive strength in addition to battle cruisers in modern times. Up to 150 mm thick landlord armor belt. The 12,000-ton hull is equipped with 4 twin 210 mm main guns (all available on one side) and 4 twin 120 mm secondary guns (2 on one side). The speed was 28 knots - no less than the latest frontier battle cruisers of various countries before the war. Plus excellent sailing performance and good range. All the ships in the places where they have served have been incorporated into the mobile unit of the aircraft carrier. Since the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. It travels between the Pacific and Indian oceans. has always played the role of an aircraft carrier's bodyguard. Take part in surface artillery battles. Fight face-to-face with enemy ships in a dignified manner. This is the first time.

Although the British army was issued a manual for warships before the war. The specific performance of the Kunlun-class installation patrol is not very accurate. Seeing it on the ground, Major General Haas made a difficulty. Rush forward - can't be beaten. Turn around and run away - you can't run. What to do? Major General Si calmly had an idea.

Smoke. Turn. Recruit rescuers. Three orders were passed down in one breath. Major General Haas began to pray.

Major General Yang Tianzhi, who is sitting on the "Kunlun" here, wants to flee when he sees the prey. Hurriedly urged the team to chase after him. The speed difference of 5 knots is there. However, it took more than ten minutes to rush out of the smoke screen. Six mounted patrol on the ground 12 forward main turrets began to aim and test-fire.

Ignoring the enemy ships returning fire with 6-inch guns pointing to the rear, the mobile patrol detachment slowly measured the range, test-fired, corrected, and test-fired again until the "Kunlun" instantly covered the "Bedford" with one and a half salvos......

At this moment, on the right side of the 2nd Cruiser Squadron of the British Army, which was running wildly to the southeast with its buttocks, four huge gray and black ship shadows suddenly flashed out of the smoke screen......
