The large-scale naval battle between the Xinhua Navy and the British Navy in the South China Sea is destined to go down in history. This is also seen as a turning point for the two countries. Britain, as the world hegemon, has risen and fallen from this naval battle to the beginning. And Xinhuaguo, stepping on the body of the British, rose step by step, and won the whole world with this victory. In the past, many countries in Europe regarded Xinhua as a small country. But after this war, Xinhua has undoubtedly become a world-class power in the eyes of those European countries.

Of course, when news of this naval battle reached Europe, it was already two months later. After destroying the main force of the British Navy, the Xinhua Navy did not take it as soon as it saw it, but wanted to wipe out the British Navy's military strength in the Far East. The remaining 15 'Apollo-class' warships of the British Navy are a huge force, and if they are not handled properly, they are enough to turn the South China Sea upside down. Although the 'Xia-class' cruisers of the Xinhua Navy are powerful, there are only 12 of them after all, and the number is still too small.

According to the developed strategy, the Xinhua Navy rushed to the Strait of Malacca, preparing to intercept the British Navy. The 5th Fleet took the lead, and came behind. It was the remaining ships of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd fleets. In order to avoid the pursuit of the Xinhua Navy, the British Navy constantly changed its course along the way. Although, this allowed the British Navy to successfully evade the pursuit of the Xinhua Navy. However, it also makes them spend more time on the road.

On the afternoon of 5 July, the 5th Fleet of the Xinhua Navy had arrived in the Strait of Malacca. However, there was no sign of the British Navy along the way. Commodore Lu Haipeng believed that the Fifth Fleet was coming non-stop all the way, and it was absolutely impossible for the British Navy to run ahead of them. So there's only one possibility. That is, the British Navy has not yet reached the Strait of Malacca. This is exactly what the 5th Fleet wants. If the British Navy slipped back to Singapore, with the help of shore defense artillery, the Xinhua Navy wanted to annihilate the British Navy. It's not that easy.

The 5th Fleet waited for the arrival of the British Navy at sea about two hundred kilometers from Singapore. In order not to let the British Navy slip away, the 12 warships of the 5th Fleet were deployed in a scattered manner, with a distance of more than ten kilometers between each warship. Once the British Navy was spotted, the ships were able to gather quickly. Attack the British Navy. Three more fleets of the Xinhua Navy. It's a bit slower. Because the wind direction is constantly changing, it is impossible to have a tailwind all the way, and they are still searching for the British Navy on the way, unlike the 5th Fleet, which only aims to rush to the Strait of Malacca, so it is inevitable to delay.

On the morning of July 7, the rising sun had just jumped out of the sea, and the sun dispelled the fog. It shows that today is another good weather. Under the order of Commodore Lu Haipeng, the 5th Fleet of the Xinhua Navy has entered the highest state of combat readiness. Calculate the time. It was almost time for the British Navy to arrive. The 5th Fleet was ready to give the British Navy a head-on blow.

At sea close to 50 kilometers from the 5th Fleet, the British Navy was sailing rapidly. But. The tension in the fleet eased considerably. It's not far from Singapore, and at the current rate, they can be there in the wee hours of tonight at most. When the time comes, they will be safe and will no longer have to worry about it.

Major General Allen also breathed a sigh of relief. Along the way, in order to avoid the pursuit of the Xinhua Navy, they changed course several times. So it was delayed for a day or two. But now it seems that it was worth it. At the very least, they can get to Singapore safely. The current British Navy can no longer withstand the blow. The battle five days ago had caused them heavy losses. Not only did they lose two-thirds of their ships, but even more severely their morale was greatly affected. The great victory that I had hoped for was shattered all of a sudden, and the huge contrast was indeed a little difficult to accept.

It's just that Rear Admiral Allen doesn't know that the Xinhua Navy will not give up on them and is already ready in front of them.

At 9:45 a.m., the watchman of the British Navy "Ethiopia Russia" noticed several plumes of smoke rising into the sky on the sea in front of him. The lookout immediately realized what it was. In the decisive battle with the Xinhua Navy, those steam warships that were smoking thick smoke and had very perverted firepower and defense caused a great shock to them.

"Enemy attack! Discover the steam warships of the Xinhua Navy. The watchman immediately issued a warning. The other British Navy warships also discovered the anomaly ahead, and suddenly, the British Navy became chaotic again.

"General, something is wrong, I found the steam warship of the Xinhua Navy, just ahead." Lieutenant Colonel Smith anxiously reported to Major General Allen. I thought I was going to escape, but I didn't expect that in the end, it would fall short.

Major General Allen's face also changed drastically, and he ran to the porthole and used his binoculars to observe the sea in the west. Soon, the figures of those steam warships of the Xinhua Navy were revealed.

"Order the ships and prepare for battle!" Major General Allen had no choice but to give such an order. It's still more than 200 kilometers away from Singapore, and it's almost impossible to escape back to Singapore if the wind is not right.

The remaining 15 'Apollo-class' warships of the British Navy hurriedly took action. Although there was some panic, the good su zhì played out at this moment. The British Navy soon formed a battle line and prepared for a final decisive battle with the Xinhua Navy. Although, such a decisive battle is somewhat tragic. Whether it is Major General Allen or the soldiers below, they probably realize that this time it may be more auspicious.

When the British Navy discovered the Xinhua Navy, the watchmen of the Xinhua Navy also discovered them. The battleships, which had been scattered, immediately began to assemble and prepare to meet the British navy.

At 11 a.m., the 5th Fleet of the Xinhua Navy and the British Navy encountered. The two sides engaged in a fierce naval battle in the Java Sea, more than 200 kilometers from Singapore. This naval battle is a continuation of the naval battle of July 2, but it is also very fierce.

The British Navy wanted to repel the Xinhua Navy and return to Singapore safely. The Xinhua navy, on the other hand, wanted to wipe out all the British navy in order to achieve a complete victory. The British Navy, in particular, was very brave in order to survive. However, naval warfare is not just about heroic combat, there are many other factors. There is no doubt about it, although now the British Navy has a slight numerical advantage. But in fact, their combat effectiveness is simply not comparable with the 5th Fleet of the Xinhua Navy.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Fierce fighting begins as soon as the two sides meet. The 12 'Xia-class' cruisers of the Xinhua Navy began a heavy artillery bombardment. And the British Navy also fought back fiercely. Because the sailors on both sides had gone through a few days of rest, everyone's appearance was very good. The distance between the two sides also narrowed from 4,000 meters to about 2,500 meters.

"Boom!" A flash of fire exploded on the foredeck of the battleship 'Shamang' of the 5th Fleet of the Xinhua Navy. A 3.7-inch shell hit the foredeck of the 'Chaman'. However, the shell was not able to penetrate the armor on the foredeck. It only killed a few sailors on the foredeck, and it did not affect the combat power of the Chaman. The shells used by the British Navy were not armor-piercing shells, but ordinary shells filled with black powder. When dealing with ordinary wooden battleships, there are no problems, but against battleships covered with armor, it is a little inadequate.

The cruiser 'Chaman' then sent the British battleship to the bottom with two 155-mm shells.

Although the British Navy had a slight advantage in the number of warships at the beginning of the battle. However, as the battle progressed, British warships were sunk or heavily damaged, and the advantages of both sides gradually found a reversal.

"General, it's not okay to go on like this, it's only been more than half an hour since the battle started, and we've lost two battleships." Lieutenant Colonel Smith said worriedly.

"I, I know, but what's the solution?" Major General Allen said helplessly. He was originally high-spirited, but he was defeated by the Xinhua Navy in this naval battle, which also affected his mental state, and the whole person became a little decadent.

Lieutenant Colonel Smith was speechless for a moment.

By two o'clock in the afternoon, there were only nine British warships left on the sea. Of the other six warships, four were sunk and the other two were heavily damaged, they all surrendered to the Xinhua Navy.

At this time, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd fleets of the Xinhua Navy also rushed to the battlefield. When more than 20 'Shark-class' cruisers of the Xinhua Navy arrived from the east, the British Navy was completely desperate.

The 5th Fleet of the Xinhua Navy alone is enough to eat them gradually. As soon as those 'Shark-class' cruisers of the Xinhua Navy arrived, the British Navy would no longer have the slightest hope. It can be said that because of the arrival of the main force of the Xinhua Navy, the morale of the British Navy dropped to freezing point. Some sailors even gave up resistance.

"General, what shall we do now?" Lieutenant Colonel Smith asked.

Rear Admiral Allen's heart was full of bitterness, and the strong British navy, this time following in the footsteps of the Spaniards, lost in this place in the South Seas. The fleet with 46 powerful 'Apollo-class' warships was completely annihilated, and such a loss would break even the bones of the British.

"Raise the white flag and surrender to the new country!" Major General Allen said. He didn't want to fight any more, lest he have to make unnecessary sacrifices. (To be continued......)
