Six heavy cruisers of the Chinese Navy, escorted by several light cruisers and destroyers, formed a formation and rushed wildly on the sea at a speed of 28 knots. Behind these heavy cruisers were 7 battleships of the Chinese Navy sailing at high speed at 22 knots. To the south, the remnants of the Combined Fleet are fleeing for their lives.

In this war, the Combined Fleet has completely failed, and what the Chinese Navy has to do is to further expand its victory and wipe out all these remnants of the Combined Fleet. Although these remnants of warships do not pose much of a threat to the Chinese Navy, these naval soldiers who have been baptized by war are indeed very valuable treasures, and there is no reason for them to return to Britain alive. In other words, Britain tried to eliminate the navy soldiers of the empire as much as possible.

At 3:30 p.m., the six heavy cruisers were less than eight kilometers away from the Russian Navy, which was lagging behind, and they had at most forty minutes to catch up with the Russian Navy. At the same time, the main guns on the heavy cruiser began to adjust their orientation, preparing to attack the Russian navy, completely leaving these Russian navies behind.

"Boom! Rumble! "The heavy cruiser 'Beijing', which was at the forefront of the entire formation, opened fire first, and four 305-mm shells smashed into the battleships of the Russian Navy at high speed. However, because the distance was too far, and at the same time the battleship was sailing at high speed, the accuracy of the shelling was too low, and among the four shells, the nearest shell was four or five hundred meters away from the Russian Navy.

"Your Excellency, the Chinese have caught up! Oh my God, their heavy cruisers are so fast. That's already 28 knots, faster than our light cruisers and destroyers! The generals of the Russian Navy exclaimed. It is clear that in the face of such a high speed heavy cruisers of the Chinese Navy. They simply can't escape.

"Can you sink their heavy cruiser?" Grand Duke Aleksandrovich asked. Although he was very dissatisfied with the British navy's behavior of leaving them to flee for their lives, Grand Duke Alexandrovich was still reluctant to be captured if it was possible. In this case, his reputation would be completely ruined, and even if he could return to Russia after the war, he would not be able to be reused. Of course, he can also put all the blame on the British Navy.

"Your Excellency, the heavy cruisers of the Chinese are very strong. The displacement is tens of thousands of tons. The main guns are still two twin-mounted 305mm naval guns, which are no worse than our battleships! 6 heavy cruisers of the Chinese, enough to defeat our remaining four battleships. What's more, there are Chinese battleships chasing after them, and if we stop, we will never be able to escape! A Russian rear admiral said.

"Hell!" Grand Duke Aleksandrovich scolded secretly. He really doesn't want to surrender unless he has to!

"Can you go in a destroyer?" Grand Duke Alexandrovich is not giving up, the light cruisers of the Russian Navy are not as fast as the Chinese Navy, and only destroyers can reach a speed of 28 knots.

"Your Excellency. Even if you take a destroyer, it will be difficult to escape. There is not much coal left on the destroyer, and it must be replenished as much as possible. And all the transport ships are under the control of the British, and we have no way to contact them at all! Rear Admiral of the Russian Navy explained.

Grand Duke Alexandrovich was silent, and now, in front of him, there were only two ways left, or surrender. Or sunk by the Chinese Navy. Although, if captured, there will be no glory or anything like that. But he was able to save his life. But if it's sunk, it's all over. What kind of glory and wealth and the like have become a thing of the past.

"Come, send a telegram to His Majesty the Tsar, informing him of our situation. They're all damned Britons, and if it weren't for them, we wouldn't be where we are. Grand Duke Aleksandrovich said with a gloomy face.

At 3:50 p.m., a formation of heavy cruisers of the Chinese Navy. Already caught up with the Russian Navy. And, on a parallel sea surface 10,000 meters away, fierce artillery fire was fired at the Russian Navy.

At this time, a white flag was raised from the battleship "Three Saints" of the Russian Navy, and the Russian Navy had already conceded defeat and stopped resisting. This expedition was a mistake for the Russian Navy. Ten battleships, plus more than a dozen light cruisers and destroyers, were almost completely lost. The main force of the Russian Navy was almost completely wiped out, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to Russia's military strength. If the army loses, it will soon be able to make up for it. But the losses of the navy may take several years or even longer to make up for them. Battleships are easy to build, as long as you have money, you can build as many as you want. But it takes a lot of time to train the soldiers of the Navy.

The heavy cruiser formation of the Chinese Navy, having spotted the white flag raised by the battleships of the Russian Navy, stopped firing. Slow down and accumulate to be on alert to the Russian army. At the same time, the Guò flag language demanded that the battleships of the Russian army turn off the boilers and stop. Three light cruisers and five destroyers were sent to disarm the Russian Navy and control the battleships.

At half past four o'clock in the afternoon, the four battleships, three light cruisers and five destroyers surrendered by the Russian Navy had been completely controlled by the Chinese Navy. The main force of the Chinese Navy, 7 battleships, also caught up. After leaving two heavy cruisers to continue to monitor these Russian navies, the heavy cruiser formation and battleship formation continued to pursue the British and French navies south.

Now, the British Navy is more than 20 nautical miles to the south, and it only takes two hours to catch up with the British Navy at the speed of a heavy cruiser. As soon as the heavy cruisers caught up with the British navy, they immediately entangled them, and when the battleships arrived, they were able to settle the battle once and for all.

The British Navy battleship "Hannibal" came to the door, and the commander of the Combined Fleet, Algernon? McLennan? Sir Lyons and Chief of Staff Frederick? William? Sir Richards was very anxious. Although, having already evacuated ahead of schedule, the soldiers of the conscientious light cruisers and destroyers bought them almost two hours. However, they still do not have much confidence in whether they will be able to escape the pursuit of the Chinese navy. Now, they are eagerly waiting for the night to come soon, so that they can take advantage of the darkness to change their course and calmly escape from the pursuit of the Chinese navy. It is also possible to escape back to India.

"Chief of Staff, a telegram from the Russian Navy!" At this time, a staff officer came over with a telegram, but his face was a little ugly.

Chief of Staff of the Combined Fleet, Frederick? William? Sir Richards took it, and his face changed dramatically.

"What's going on?" Combined Fleet Commander Algernon? McLennan? Sir Lyons asked, surprised.

"Damn it! The commander, these Russians, did not resist the Chinese, they surrendered directly. These scumbags, these cowards! Moreover, the Russians also said that the speed of the Chinese heavy cruisers is more than 28 knots, let's not waste our efforts, the Chinese will soon catch up! "Chief of Staff of the Combined Fleet, Frederick? William? Sir Richards said through gritted teeth.

"What? A heavy cruiser of 28 knots, a heavy cruiser of the Chinese Navy, with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons, how can it be possible to have such a high speed? "Algernon, commander of the Combined Fleet? McLennan? Sir Lyons was also shocked. If that's the case, then it's probably going to be hard for them to escape. Now, there are still more than three hours before dark, which is enough for the Chinese Navy to catch up.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I'm afraid it's true. Although Grand Duke Alexandrovich was very unhappy that we had left the Russian navy to retreat alone, he must have also very much hoped that we would be intercepted by the Chinese navy. There shouldn't be any need for him to lie to us on this! "Chief of Staff of the Combined Fleet, Frederick? William? Sir Richards said.

"So what do we do now?" The maximum speed of the 'Majesty' class battleship was only 17. 5 knots, which is more than 10 knots worse than the heavy cruisers of the Chinese Navy. Soon the Chinese Navy will be able to catch up.

"Your Excellency, Commander, or let's leave the battleship behind and evacuate in a light cruiser! The speed of the light cruiser is at 25 knots, and we still have a chance to escape! "Chief of Staff of the Combined Fleet, Frederick? William? Sir Richards built yì road.

However, the commander of the Combined Fleet, Algernon? McLennan? Sir Lyons had lost his faith. Now five 'Majestic-class' battleships and one 'Pafleur-class' battleship are already the most powerful battleships in the British Navy, and if they are lost, what face will he have to return to Britain? Besides, when he ordered the shelling of Singapore, the cabinet was already very dissatisfied with him, and when he returned to England, what awaited him would definitely be a military court.

"Chief of Staff, you go, I'll stay. I am primarily responsible for this defeat. "Commander of the Combined Fleet, Ergergnon? McLennan? Sir Lyons said.

"Your Excellency, the shelling of the fleet in Singapore has caused tens of thousands of Chinese casualties, and if you fall into their hands, they will definitely kill you!"

"Humph! Even if I am captured, I am also a noble British naval marshal, a knight canonized by the Queen of the British Empire, is it possible that they dare to kill me? "Algernon, commander of the Combined Fleet? McLennan? Sir Lyons said haughtily.

Chief of Staff of the Combined Fleet, Frederick? William? Sir Richards' persuasion was fruitless, and he boarded a light cruiser and left alone.

At 5:40 p.m., a formation of four light cruisers and five destroyers of the Chinese Navy caught up with the British Navy. They pursued at a maximum speed of 30 knots, and the heavy cruiser formation, behind them.
