"Okay! Let's hold on for another day!"

Jackson also nodded.

They are trying to hold out for a day of retreat!

But if you retreat, retreat!But that's for the night too.

But this afternoon, the East China Sea Fleet will make new achievements.

From [-] o'clock in the afternoon, the East China Sea Fleet and the British Sea Fleet were already very close to each other. The distance between them was less than three nautical miles, which greatly improved the hit rate of the shells of both sides.

It was in this situation that Shen Chengzhang changed his previous conservative dismissal.

Order all destroyers to evacuate immediately to the sides of the battleship, not to rush ahead.

After all, for an enemy battleship, a single main gun can seriously injure a destroyer.

Instead, battleships such as Huashan, Songshan, Huangshan, and Taishan stepped forward.

These battleships use the main ship guns that are much larger than the British sea battleships to bombard the British sea battleships.

To be honest, the bombing of the battleships in the British Sea and the East China Sea Fleet was the most wrong thing they did.

Even at this distance of three nautical miles, their battleship main guns could not penetrate Songshan's 650 mm turret armor.

The only thing they can penetrate is the deck!

That's right, the deck!This is the only place they can penetrate.

In other places, as for the bridge and the conning tower.

They are also impenetrable at all.

Under such circumstances, Songshan's 460mm main naval gun can penetrate you as long as it hits you with one shot.

Whether it's a turret, a conning tower, or a bridge.

No matter where it is, it can be pierced by a cannonball.

When Jackson saw this scene, his eyes turned red.

He didn't expect such a result.

Unexpectedly, the main guns of the battleships of one's own side could not cause substantial serious injuries to them.

The most likely is to penetrate the deck.

At this time, Jackson finally understood why Huaxia Haiyang dared to fight like this.

Let the destroyers retreat, and the battleships, the main battleships, go forward to resist shells.

It's not that others are stupid, it's because others know that your shells cannot cause substantial damage to others.

But it was too late for Jackson to understand.

The first to be hit hard was the Sovereign.

This British sea battleship, which suffered a torpedo before, is undoubtedly not the main target of the Huaxia sea battleship.

At a distance of three nautical miles, the hit rate at this distance is already astonishing.

Although the current Sovereign was only hit by one torpedo, black smoke billowed from the sky above his entire battleship.

The shells of the main ship guns of the battleships fell on him.

Only one of his turrets is still functioning, and all the other turrets have been destroyed.

And the speed has dropped to around seven or eight knots.

This speed means that he still has one or two boilers in operation, and the other boilers have been turned off.

"boom"

"boom"

"boom"

Suddenly, a loud bang sounded on the last turret of the Sovereign.

Then a burst of flames shot up from the fleet.

The entire hull shook violently again.

This shell was fired by the Songshan.

This shell directly destroyed the last turret of the Sovereign.

In other words, all the main guns of the Sovereign have been destroyed, and now it only has secondary guns and other artillery.

The Monarch, which lost its main gun, is like a tiger without teeth, that is, it can scare people.

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the final explosion directly caused his last two boilers to extinguish.

In other words, the current Sovereign not only lost its main gun, but also lost its power.

Under such circumstances, the Sovereign once again faced the same result as the Warrior.

Even the Sovereign is more miserable than the Warrior, because the Warrior has lost power, but other people's main guns are still there.
