Chapter 354 The Ninth Wave

"What? The Chinese Empire Navy came from behind? This is impossible!"

"Don't be impossible, there's a fight outside. Do you hear the dense sound of cannons, like a small fuss?"

"Retreat quickly. If you don't withdraw, you will be blocked in this waterway and you will be unable to get out!"

In the secret waterway of Lunva Island, dozens of British Navy warships were still in battle. They had just destroyed the dome-armored cruise ship of the Haidai, which was stranded on the beach, and were about to turn the three iron-armored ships of Dingyuan, Zhenyuan and Zhiyuan, which were also stranded on the beach, into scrap iron. At this moment, a fierce naval battle broke out in the Solomon Sea on the north side of the secret waterway. The sudden appearance of the main fleet of the Chinese Empire navy caught the British Navy off guard and fell into chaos.

At this time, the commanders of the British ships fighting in the waterway all issued retreat orders, otherwise they would be done if they were blocked in the waterway.

However, he was determined to take revenge and used his way to deal with the other person, and used Matt tactics to deal with the British Navy. Naturally, he would not give the British a chance. He immediately led three teams of six Xiongfeng-class battleships and three Zhongning-class armored cruisers to the entrance of the secret waterway of Lunwa Island.

"Is it here? It's indeed a secret waterway!"

Chen Shaoyi snorted coldly, and the next moment he decisively ordered a fierce attack on the British warship near the exit of the waterway.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

The dense shells smashed towards the surrounding British ships, and the British ships in the secret waterway rushed outward, but were attacked violently.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

The first team, the main guns of the three ships of Xiongfeng, Hurricane and Shiver, fired volleys, and targeted the British ship Klymene, the front. This is a newly built armored cruiser by the British Navy to fight against the Haiqi-class dome armored cruiser of the Imperial Chinese Navy.

The two sides were less than three thousand meters apart. At such a close distance, the 305mm armor-piercing projectiles launched by three Xiongfeng-class battleships accurately hit the Klumene and penetrated her armor.

"Bang! Bang bang!"

Mars exploded, and the Clymone shot and caught fire, and thick smoke rose.

The Clymone carried the black smoke tail and continued to drive outward, but did not go far. It was hit by a whirlwind, Fierce and Gangfeng three ships from the Second Navy of the Chinese Empire, a firepower volley from the flanks. Six large-caliber shells hit directly, one of which caused fatal penetration damage, detonating the ammunition depot under the main gun of the rear deck of the Clymone.

There was a loud bang. It was like a bolt from the blue. The fiery red mushroom clouds rose into the sky and erupted like fireworks, reaching thousands of meters high, making people feel spectacular at the same time. They also deeply felt fear.

"Retreat quickly, quickly, accelerate!"

"Hey hey hey, don't go here, go there!"

"Damn Black Smoke, I can't see what's ahead!"

"Oh God, the Darth is on the ass of the Phillips!"

"Fake, the wreck blocks the waterway, we can't get out!"

The death of the Clymeneus caused it to block the waterway on the left, a large amount of coal was burning, the fire was fierce, and black smoke covered the sky and the sun, blocking the sight of other British ships nearby. As a result, there were consecutive ship collisions, sank several British ships and blocking the waterway. Dozens of British ships were trapped in the waterway.

In the fierce melee at Solomon's sea, British warships still had a numerical advantage. However, due to chaos, no formation, and lack of command, they could not form fists to resist the attacks of the Imperial Navy. A large number of British warships were sunk or severely damaged.

The only dozen iron armored ships that the British Navy relied on, but were sunk and injured. Ten were trapped inside the waterway and could not get out. There were only five left outside. They were the flagships of the other five British lieutenant generals, but they were fighting on their own. They were soon besieged by the main warships of the Imperial Navy and were injured in the fierce battle.

"Don't let him get close, fire the gun and attack!"

The British ship Norfolk, the British ship of the Fourth Fleet, was bombing against the Pingyuan ship of the Imperial Chinese Navy. The British captain soon discovered that two Imperial Chinese Navy's ironclad ships Laiyuan and Weiyuan suddenly appeared on the right, so he hurriedly ordered the launch of Yului, so he did not allow the other party to get close.

However, the real killer move was on the left. The Xunning armored cruiser suddenly broke through the interception of several British frigates, inserted diagonally from the back, and suddenly rushed towards the Norfolk highway.

By the time Norfolk was discovered, the extremely fast Xunning had already entered a distance of one thousand meters.

"Bang!"

Fish radium was launched and hit Norfolk at high speed.

The Norfolk evaded urgently, but unfortunately he was still hit.

With a loud bang, the Norfolk port waterline armor was torn apart, more than one meter wide hole, fire and black smoke gushed out, and sea water poured in swirling backwards.

This kind of damage cannot be repaired by the British army, and their drainage machines no longer work, and sinking is a foregone conclusion.

The commander of the Norfolk had to order the ship to abandon. Five minutes later, the Norfolk, the flagship of the British Navy's Fourth Fleet, sank. The other British ships of the fleet were completely defeated and fled in scattered.

The war sinking of the Norfolk ironclad ship caused greater psychological panic to the British Navy. More and more British warships immediately turned around and fled when they saw that they were defeated.

However, not all British troops were afraid of death, and some British warships fought fiercely and fought back against the various ships of the Chinese Empire's naval ships like crazy.

At 2:03 p.m., Jingyuan and Jingyuan and Pingyuan three ironclad ships bit the Maryland, the flagship of the British Navy's Third Fleet, and still adopted the tactics of segmentation and siege and raid. These are the standard subjects for the Chinese Empire's Navy's training. The commanders of each ship cooperated harmoniously, and the previous tactics were soon successful.

The Jingyuan ship and the Maryland were bombarded, and the feint attack to the right of Yuan Hepingyuan attracted the attention of Maryland. The armored cruisers Canning and Genning blocked several frigates of the British Navy's Third Squadron, giving the Qianning a chance to penetrate the port side of Maryland and successfully launched a fish radium on Maryland.

As usual practices, the Maryland was confused by the tactics of the Imperial Navy. I didn't remember to react, so I was hit by the fish radium launched by the Qianning. The sea water poured backwards, causing the Maryland warship to tilt slowly and begin to sink.

At this moment, unexpected things happened. Four cruise ships and three frigates of the British Navy's Third Fleet saw the flagship sinking by fish radium, but did not escape, but rushed over like crazy.

The Qianning went to attack Maryland before he returned, the two armored cruise ships, Canning and Genning, opened fire violently, and exploded the British cruise ship that was approaching the front. However, the number of the opponent was too large and could not be stopped for a while. They were entangled by the other three British cruise ships. Unexpectedly, the other three British frigates rushed directly to the Jingyuan ironclad ship.

The Jingyuan ironclad ship urgently turned its guns and bombarded the three British frigates close to him. One of the British ships was exploded with one shot, but the other two British ships were approaching the Jingyuan. At this time, the only Pingyuan next to him was emergency rescue and stopped one of the British ships again, but another British ship, Green Pearl frigate, crashed into Jingyuan at high speed.

"Start fish radium!"

"Start fish radium!"

Jingyuan and Green Pearl fired fish radium almost at the same time. They were also doing evasion actions at the same time. Green Pearl was faster and avoided the fish radium fired by the Jingyuan ship, but was hit by the reloaded main artillery and exploded instantly.

However, Jingyuan was slower and failed to avoid Yuli. However, it avoided the key parts during emergency avoidance. In the end, Yuli hit the waterline belt on the port side bow and exploded a hole of more than a half meters wide.

The sea water was pouring backwards, and the sailors of the Jingyuan ship hurriedly drained water with a water pump. But the more they entered, the less they came in. The captain had to take the banner of "This ship was severely damaged and exited the battle sequence" and quickly drove to the shore and stranded.

The same thing is happening constantly. The British Navy has more than 200 warships participating in the war. Although many of them are old-fashioned cruise ships and frigates, the number is too large and the scene is very chaotic. The three ships of the Chinese Empire Navy are in a team, and they can concentrate their firepower to attack one of the British warships and sink it at the fastest speed. However, a panicked British ship often pops up behind them, and an encounter will break out.

Because the British Navy's artillery used Heywort, black smoke filled the fire after black ships exploded. After a large number of British ships exploded, the ship-borne coal burned violently, and rolling black smoke came out. The battlefield was close to the shore of the island, and the sea breeze was not strong enough, causing the black smoke over the battlefield to become thicker and thicker, covering the sky and the sun. The black smoke on the sea blocked the view.

In this case, the advantage of the original Imperial Navy was weakened. The British Navy's large number of warships fleeing in various places often had close encounters with the warships of the Imperial Navy. In fact, both sides did not want to meet each other, but they just met. When they met on a narrow road, the brave won, but the shells and fish radium did not have eyes. There were also many lucky people in the British army. When the **** fortune broke out, it often caused heavy damage to the warships of the Imperial Navy, or even directly sunk.

At 2:17 pm, the Haihuan was beating a British cruise ship when suddenly a British frigate rushed out of the black smoke ball behind the side. The British ship wanted to escape, but unfortunately, they always encountered warships of the Chinese Empire on the way to escape. But this time, the commander on the British ship found that he was in an excellent attack position, so he immediately fired Yu Ra and hit the Haihuan.

Originally, behind the Haihuan were the Haichen and Haitian, so there was no need to worry about being suddenly attacked by British ships. However, a large cloud of black smoke also blocked the view of Haichen and Haitian, so that they did not immediately discover the British ship that was coming over. By the time they discovered it, it was too late. The Haihuan thunder exploded, the power system was destroyed, unable to reach the shore and stranded, and soon sank.

Fortunately, the water depth here is only more than ten meters, and the main mast of the Haihuan is exposed to the sea. Many sailors escaped and were rescued by Haichen and Haitian ships in time.

Black smoke enveloped the battlefield. After a few hours of fierce fighting, the visibility became worse and worse. When Chen Shaoyi discovered that his own warship had sunk, he realized this problem and could not notify the ships because the flag words could not be conveyed in this situation and other warships could not be seen.

The melee is really a melee, it can only be seen who perseveres until the end.

The British Navy obviously turned into a frightened bird, and could encounter the brutal Chinese Empire naval warships everywhere. They could only hide everywhere. If they really couldn't hide, they would bite the bullet and fight.

"Bang!"

Another British frigate sank a British cruise ship. The British naval officers and soldiers were all angry and cried. The original design of the collision corner was clearly used to hit the enemy, but now they are only hitting their own people and are really pitted to death.

The more the British navy fought, the fewer and fewer the die-hard elements in the British navy. Without these strong resistance, the pressure of the Chinese Navy was reduced immediately. The Chinese navy no longer pursued and fought relentlessly and let them escape. After all, the number of the other side was too large, and it was impossible to barely encircle and annihilate it. Instead, it would lose the big one because of the small. It would be better to concentrate our efforts to attack important targets and sink as much as possible.

When the naval battle reached this level, victory already belonged to the Chinese Empire Navy, but it just depends on the final result.

One-third of the more than 200 British warships resisted tenaciously. When these British warships were successively eliminated by the Chinese Empire Navy, other British warships had no intention of continuing to fight and began to escape completely this time.

At around 4:40 pm, the entire southern waters of Solomon Sea were dark, with sunken warships everywhere, rolling black smoke coming out to cover the sky and the sun, but the sound of artillery was getting less and less. More than 100 British warships of various types were sunk, and more than 100 British ships were either severely damaged or slightly injured, but they all successfully escaped.

The Chinese Empire Navy did not pursue them because they had a more important goal to eliminate, that is, more than 20 British ships trapped in the Lunvar waterway, where there were ten British revenge-class ironclad ships, which was the real highlight.

Matt wanted to play the game of closing the door and beating the dog but failed. As a result, Chen Shaoyi closed the door and beating the dog, but successfully beat the British Navy into a dog and abused it out of Xiang.

The fierce battle continued, Chen Shaoyi pulled nine Xiongfeng-class battleships and four Dingyuan-class ironclad ships to fight against ten British most advanced Revenge-class ironclad ships.

This time it was the British ironclad ship that was trapped in the waterway and was beaten.

Six hours ago, when the British Navy besieged the Fourth Squadron of the Imperial Navy, he did not expect that the retribution would come so quickly. In a blink of an eye, he was blocked by the Imperial Navy in the same place and was shut down and beaten by the dog.

Bang bang bang bang!

British ships were shot one after another and had big explosions. Although their ironclad ships were strengthened in protection, they still could not stand the fierce artillery fire of the Chinese Empire Navy. More than 20 warships were living targets. Those cruise ships and frigates were quickly sunk. Ten revenge-class ironclad ships were quite capable of resisting. It took the Chinese Empire Navy half an hour to sink two.

Chen Shaoyi did not order the fish radium boat to attack, otherwise these ten most advanced ironclad ships of the British army would have been sunk. He wanted to capture these warships to make up for the losses of the Chinese Empire Navy.

"Fight or surrender?"

The British commanders of the trapped ships were communicating in flags. They were very clear about the situation outside. After hearing the sound of cannons on Solomon's sea, it means that the main fleet of the British Empire had been completely defeated. Now they are trapped inside the waterway and cannot get out. They either die in battle or surrender, and there is no third way to go.

The British commanders of each ship were hesitant, some in favor of surrender, and some in the fight to the death. However, as the Indian ironclad ship took the lead in raising the white flag, the commanders of the other seven British ironclad ships finally gave up their resistance and surrendered collectively.
