The Brutality exited the battle, which can be regarded as basically losing its combat effectiveness. The Kweichow and the Kweichow were not much better. The Kweichow was the flagship of the British 2nd Battleship Detachment. A sea red flag 9** hit the lower part of the command room, causing the command room to tilt and press on the turret of the front main gun, causing the turret to be unable to turn. The personnel in the command room were also injured, especially the captain Martinez was seriously injured; another sea red flag 9** fell in front of the rear main mast and exploded, breaking the rear main mast at all. When it fell, it hit the chimney again, smashing a chimney, and also smashing a chimney.

The other group of two sea red flags all fell on the front deck of the Rebellion, less than 10 meters apart. The overlapping explosion caused the turret of the front main gun to be damaged, the deck of the ship was almost completely destroyed, and a large fire ignited, and the side side cracked and seeped water. Fortunately, there was no ammunition depot under the turret, which did not cause a chain explosion, but even this was the damage.

The three fear-class battleships retreated and injured, and Han Chao, who was commanding the battle on the Kunming ship, was very satisfied with the result. At this time, the battleships of the People's Army's Northern Fleet had already entered their own range and launched a shooting towards the Expeditionary Fleet under the guidance of the helicopter.

At this time, the Expeditionary Fleet had already been in chaos because the attack method of the People's Army was too scary. Now that five warships were hit, who would be the next turn? In fact, if both sides set up battle lines at sea to bombard, even if the People's Army's warships had a longer range and a higher hit rate, the Expeditionary Fleet would not feel so panic. But now no one knows where the strike came from, so how much attack method the People's Army still has, so they naturally feel panic.

Moreover, the flagship was sunk, and there was no commander. No other fleets knew what to do, whether to advance or retreat, and no one issued an order. In fact, when the expeditionary fleet was established, there were quite detailed regulations on the transfer of command. If the commander was killed or lost command ability, the acting captain of the same ship would be replaced by the commander; if the flagship Edward VII sank or lost combat command ability, the Republic would be replaced by the commander, and after the Republic, the Kowei would be replaced by the commander.

In theory, this arrangement cannot be considered incomplete, but now Edward VII and the Republic are sinking, and the Kewei has also suffered heavy damage. Captain Martinez was seriously injured, and the acting captain has not yet confirmed it. What's even more serious is that the warship equipped with radio suddenly found that the radio could not be used, and there was only the "Ziz" electric current sound in the headset, and the signal could not be transmitted or collected. Therefore, the central command of the entire expeditionary fleet was completely paralyzed.

Without command, the other fleets did not know how to act, but at this time, they must not wait in vain, so the fleets had to do their own things and adopt the most appropriate response method they thought was.

First, the British fleet decided to launch a meritorious service to the People's Army. Now the British fleet still has two fear class, five majestic class, and four Duncan class, with a total of 11 battleships. It is not weak. Moreover, the British navy has a glorious history of more than 200 years. The belief in fighting against the enemy is deeply rooted in the psychology of every British navy. Even if it is defeated, it cannot fall into the glory of the British navy for a hundred years. Although I don't know where this strike came from, the visible enemy is right in front of me, and the radio cannot be used, and there are flag signals. Therefore, the captain of the Majestic Captain McMannaman hung up the flag of "take over the fleet" and "attack", and then led 5 majestic class battleships to rush towards the People's Army fleet.

When the other two Fierce-class battleships and four Duncan-class battleships saw each other, they also launched an attack on the People's Army fleet. Moreover, the acting captain of the Fierce, Neville, and the rebellious captain McClelli, did not ask for the fleet command from the Marine, because both warships suffered heavy damage, and it is difficult to ensure that they are foolproof in the battles behind. If they are really sunk or lose their combat effectiveness, they have to hand over the command. It is better to let the Marine, which is still basically intact, take over the fleet's command.

Although the French Navy did not have the glorious history and glory complex of the British Navy, the pride of the French people was no less than that of the British. Originally, Ginoer, the commander of the French fleet, did not know what to do for a while, but when he saw the British fleet launching an attack on the People's Army fleet, he naturally did not want to fall behind. Therefore, he also used the flag saying "Attack of the whole army" and led the fleet to launch an attack. However, it was one step behind the British fleet.

However, the navies of Russia and the Netherlands did not have such courage and both chose to retreat.

The Netherlands was originally a small country. The glory of the former sea coachman had long disappeared with the wind for nearly 300 years. The Dutch now regards itself as a weak country and a commoner in his mentality, and does not have the awareness of his ancestors at all. In the expeditionary army, they just stood up and cheered. Now they are not retreating at this time, what are they waiting for? Moreover, the Netherlands has a wealthy family, and it is indeed not easy to accumulate such a little naval strength. It is explained here.

Russia is a great power and a military power, but there is really nothing to be proud of in terms of the navy. Moreover, the Far East War has been fighting for two and a half years. Russia has defeated Japan first and the East China government second. Three Pacific Fleets were wiped out, and even the major Far East town Vladivostok was lost. What else can I be proud of? This time, I joined the expeditionary force, relying entirely on the power of Britain and France, following the fox and tiger power. Seeing that the general situation was not good, I would not leave at this time and wait for the time.

So the fleets of the two countries immediately turned around and retreated. Knowing that the fleets of the two countries were originally organized together, they did not care about the order of the fleet and rushed to the forefront. As a result, in order to compete for the retreat route, the Russian battleship Glory hit two Dutch cruisers, Curacao and Saint Martin. The two 4,300-ton protective cruisers, which had been able to withstand the 13,500-ton battleships. The Curacao was cracked in half. Seeing that it was beyond help, the bow of the Saint Martin was severely deformed and watered, and the speed was greatly reduced.

Koman, the commander of the Dutch fleet, could not bear it anymore, and commanded the flagship William I to collide at the rear of the Glory, and as a result, he crashed the two propellers of the Glory and could not move. But this also angered Konstantinov, the commander of the Russian fleet, and ordered the tail gun to go to William I. Since the two ships were only more than 10 meters apart at this time, there was only one round of shooting. Both guns hit William I, completely smashing the front deck of William I, and sinking into the water.

The entire expeditionary warship was in chaos, and it took Kunming ships 3 or 4 minutes to figure it out. At this time, the five majestic battleships of the British fleet had already had a fire with the People's Army's battleships. Han Chao ordered another strike against the British fleet. The first one was to strike the five majestic battleships, and each warship was still assigned 2 sea red flags 9**, because judging from the impact of the attack on the Kweichow class, although the two sea red flags 9** were difficult to sink a battleship, it was enough to cause a heavy blow to the battleships. This was enough. The rest of the matters in Bijing could be left to the battleships to solve, and it could also allow their own fleet to be trained. Therefore, there was no need to pursue the warships to completely sink.

The second is to attack 4 Duncan-class battleships, and this time it was replaced by Haihongqi 16**. It turned out that after the Majestic Class battleships, the share of Haihongqi 9** was only 6. If you attack Duncan-class battleships, at least 2 warships could only attack with one shot. This strike effect is naturally greatly reduced, so you simply switch to Haihongqi 16** to attack.

Although the power of the Haihongqi 16** is far less than that of the Haihongqi 9**, the warhead is only 20 kilograms and the filling amount is only 16 kilograms, it is better than that of many. Kunming ships can be equipped with 4 rounds in one pit, with a total of 32 rounds. After deducting the two retained rounds, the available quota reaches 30 rounds. Moreover, Han Chao decided to use 6 Haihongqi 16** to attack each Duncan-class battleship. Although only in terms of filling amount, the amount of 6 Haihongqi 16** is not as good as that of one Haihongqi 9**, but firstly, the attack is evenly distributed, and the 6 Haihongqi 16** can clean the decks of the entire warship; secondly, the Duncan-class is a simplified version of the majestic class. Whether it is tonnage or defense, it is the weakest type in the British fleet. The 6 Haihongqi 16** can completely damage the Duncan-class.

So far, the People's Army's maximum attacks are completely used to attack British warships, which is also a priority option for the top attacks, because British warships are the main force of the Expeditionary Fleet and the strongest battleship. Even if they are the weakest Duncan-class battleships, their strength is stronger than all French battleships. It can be seen from the tonnage comparison alone that the displacement of Duncan-class battleships is 14,000 tons, and the largest tonnage of French battleships is only 12,500 tons. Unless they are equipped with 8 main guns on a warship like the People's Army's Knight-class, the tonnage and combat effectiveness are basically proportional.
