At 11:50 a.m., the British fleet, which was the first to open fire, landed a large number of shells in the Red Guard naval fleet.

The fleet in columns, withstood heavy artillery fire.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Successive explosions fell on all sides of the warship.

On the battleship No. 101, a 305-mm shell from the second ship of the British old man star battleship Goliath, by God's grace, fell on the tail of the battleship No. 101.

The great power of the explosion was such that a large hole of more than a meter was blown up in the aft side armor of the 101 ship, above the waterline, and if it were not for the thick armor of the dreadnought 1st class battleship, this shell would have been enough to blow up the entire armor on the side of the ship.

It is also that the charge and explosives of artillery shells in this era are slightly weaker, far less than World War II, and even less powerful than modern high explosives and shells.

However, Rao's 305 mm main gun is also enough to destroy a warship of the level of a dreadnought first-class battleship.

After all, since the Industrial Revolution, human warfare has entered an era of offensive and defensive imbalance, especially since the First World War, attacks often exceed defense, and spears are always more powerful than shields.

It is undeniable that the British sailors are of the highest quality, and after a round of Red Guard naval attacks, they are able to quickly counterattack and fight like a textbook.

It is better to say that it is God's favor than to talk about chance and luck, which is often reserved for those who are more prepared.

The British artillery fire injured not only the 101 ship, but also the 205 cruiser in the fleet, which was also hit by a 203 mm shell, but fortunately only minor damage and minor damage to the warship.

The 10,000-ton cruiser of the Red Alert Navy has only 254 mm main guns, just because this is a fast battleship that pays attention to defense, speed and firepower density, and caliber is not the first pursuit.

In terms of the operational needs of the Red Alert Navy, this is a cruiser that comprehensively pursues and kills all warships except battleships in this era environment.

The current battleships of various navies below the rank of battleships, or those below 10,000 tons, are not at all the opponents of the Red Alert cruisers.

With superior firepower efficiency and density, coupled with defensive capabilities comparable to those of battleships of this era, and far exceeding the extreme speed of this era, no warship could escape the pursuit of the Red Alert cruisers in an encounter.

The 254 mm guns on the cruisers not only have an amazing rate of fire, but also have no less lethality than the battleship main guns of the current navies of various countries, which are only a little weaker than the British 305 mm guns and the main guns of the same level in various countries.

Don't underestimate the 254 mm gun, its charge is only a part less than the shell charge of the British 305 mm gun, and it is a little more lethal than the nearly 300 mm guns that are mainly used by various countries.

The tonnage of the old man-rated battleship is only less than three thousand tons higher than that of the Red Alert cruiser, and under the firepower of the Red Alert cruiser, it is not without a chance to confront the old-man star-rated battleship.

Especially in terms of speed, the flexible speed far exceeds the eighteen-knot speed of the old man-rated battleship, which is enough to drag down the old-man star-rated battleship.

If it weren't for the fact that the Red Alert cruiser did not have battleship-caliber main guns, otherwise it would have been a proper battle cruiser.

The words were divided into two ends, and at the same time as the British counterattacked sharply, the second round of attacks by the Red Alert Navy once again fell in the middle of the British fleet.

The raindown of shells covered almost the entire fleet of the British, and even the battleship Old Man Star, which was in the center of the ∨ formation, was taken care of by a few shells.

Dense explosions appeared in the British fleet, and it was not only the British who knew how to calibrate the shooting, but also the Red Guard Corps.

The first round of attacks made the Red Guard fleet very dissatisfied, after all, with the help of radar, it was not possible to cause huge losses to the British fleet, which was indeed very dissatisfying.

The calculations of the radar and computer sets are not absolutely correct, after all, the environmental factors must also be taken into account, just like a sniper rifle, all aspects of the environment must be taken into account, the humidity and air currents on the sea surface and the gravitational pull of the earth, as well as the direction of the warship on the sea surface.

The effect of the second round of attacks is a little more obvious, although the British fleet after the speed increase has changed the previous economic cruising speed, but the Red Alert Navy also calculates the speed of the target after the increase.

The dense fall of cannonballs stirred up high columns of water and waves in the British fleet, and the waves spread by the explosion made the humidity on the sea as warm as a storm.

The surrounding sea is not only shrouded in night, but also filled with gunsmoke.

Several British fast battleships in a row, under a dense barrage of shells, were sunk.

It is better to cut off one finger than to hurt five fingers, and the Red Guard fleet, which attacked in the second round, focused on taking care of the main warships in the British fleet according to its own tactics.

Five British warships exploded in the night, illuminating the surrounding sea, and the smoke and flames burned across the sea.

There were quite a few British sailors who had fallen into the water floating around, and some torpedo boats hurried to the rescue.

The burning fire was difficult to extinguish, and on several seriously damaged British warships, the captain reluctantly gave the order to abandon the warships.

The Grudge, which had been injured before, didn't know if the name was more provocative, or if God didn't like this warship.

The Resentment, which had already been blown open with a big mouth, was hit by two 355 shells one after another, and this time the Resentment really came to an end.

The first shell directly destroyed the bow turret, and the huge explosion power directly blew the twin 305 turret to pieces, and the powerful explosion also destroyed the entire deck, but fortunately, the explosion did not affect the ammunition depot below.

But the last bit of luck ran out, and the second shell landed on the bridge of the Grudge, and the explosion directly destroyed the entire bridge, and the warship lost control, the armor on the upper part of the warship was torn apart, and the huge force of the explosion also blew off the chimney behind the bridge.

The Resentment that was seriously injured also completely lost its combat capability, and the flames that rose into the sky burned everywhere, and explosions were heard from time to time inside the Resentment floating on the sea.

Under the firelight, the British sailors on the ship chose to jump into the sea, and many sailors who were contaminated with flames frantically plunged into the sea, but on this battleship operated by hundreds of people, only a few survived after all.

A few minutes later, there were no sailors jumping off the Grudge, only the entire burning battleship, a veritable living coffin at sea.

Inside the warship, a large number of British sailors could not survive the fire, and no one was able to escape from the fire.

From time to time, screams came from inside the warship, and the faces of the British sailors who fell into the water around them were stiff.

The war is far more brutal than imagined.
