After this battle, all four Kongo-class battlecruisers of the combined fleet of the island nation's navy sank into the sea. This is tantamount to a heavy blow to the combined fleet. After the loss of these four advanced battleships, the remaining 11 battleships, except for two quasi-dreadnoughts, are all ex-dreadnoughts.

Previous battles have undoubtedly proved that the former dreadnoughts are simply vulnerable in front of the super dreadnoughts. Even if there are a full 11 former dreadnoughts left in the combined fleet of the island nation's navy. But under the blow of eight powerful battlecruisers of the German expeditionary fleet, it was absolutely impossible to hold out. It can be said that at this point in this war, there is no longer any suspense. What followed was nothing more than the German expeditionary fleet relying on advanced warships to slaughter the combined fleet of the island nation.

"Get the ships ready, and then it's time for our slaughter!" Vice Admiral Spee looked at the combined fleet of island nations in the distance, and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes. But then, that mercy was replaced by firmness. Since they are enemies, they must be destroyed without mercy. If you choose to be an enemy of the German Empire, you have to pay the price. Therefore, all this is self-inflicted by the people of the island country, and it is not worth sympathizing with them.

"Yes, General. The lads are ready for a long time! Major General Maofu smiled.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The battlecruiser Mackensen's three triple 50x caliber 380 mm guns once again began to roar, aiming directly at the battleship Hanoi, the current flagship of the Combined Fleet of the island nation.

The other seven battlecruisers also opened heavy fire on their respective targets. It's already afternoon, and in two or three hours, it's going to get dark. The soldiers were also hungry and urgently needed to end the battle as soon as possible and get a good rest.

"Fight back! Fight to the death! On the battleship Hanoi, Admiral Goro Ijiin shouted loudly at the top of his throat, and the whole person behaved very heroically. But alas, their ships were too bad.

The Hanoi-class battleship can be regarded as a quasi-dreadnought, equipped with a total of six twin 305mm guns. One in the bow and one in the stern, and the remaining four on either side of the battleship. In this way, when firing to one side, a total of four twin 305 mm guns can be assembled. This makes the Hanoi-class battleships, in a sense, already belong to the category of dreadnoughts. However, the reason why it is attributed to quasi-dreadnoughts is that the main gun ratio of the Hanoi-class battleships is not the same. The two main guns located in the bow and tail were 45 times the caliber. The main guns on the sides of the battleship were 40 times the caliber. This made the trajectory of the Hanoi-class battleships unable to coordinate in a unified manner when firing a salvo. That's why it's classified as a quasi-dreadnought.

However, in front of the advanced battlecruisers of the German Navy, whether they were quasi-dreadnoughts or ex-dreadnoughts, they had only the life of being torn to shreds.

The fierce naval battle broke out again. Even in the face of adversity, the officers and men of the combined fleet of the island nation were still not frightened, but broke out with a strong will to fight. This may be the result of the paranoid character of the island people and the long-term poison of the bushido spirit.

"Boom!"

A 305-mm shell hit the battlecruiser Mackensen, but only blew a hole in the deck. Such an injury was nothing to the battleship Mackensen.

Subsequently, another 305-mm shell hit the No. 2 main turret on the foredeck of the battlecruiser Mackensen. But alas, this shell did not even tear off the turret armor, let alone damage the battlecruiser Mackensen.

And the battlecruiser Mackensen, after receiving two shells in a row, finally returned to color. A 380-mm shell brutally tore through the side armor of the battleship Hanoi, blowing several compartments to pieces.

Immediately afterwards, a 380-mm shell pierced the boiler compartment of the battleship Hanoi, causing an explosion in the boiler compartment. You know, on a battleship, this is already a significant damage second only to the explosion of an ammunition depot.

Accompanied by the staff officers, Admiral Goro Ijiin evacuated the battleship Kawachi and withdrew to another battleship to continue directing the battle.

The battleship Hanoi, whose power compartment was damaged, had become a dead fish, and in the ensuing battle, it was quickly sunk by the battlecruiser Mackensen.

After destroying the battleship Hanoi, the battlecruiser Mackensen set its sights on the battleship Settsu. Although, as the sister ship of the battleship Hanoi, the battleship Settsu behaved heroically. However, the fate and the battleship Hanoi, there was not much difference. It was also sunk in the heat of battle, which did not last long.

While the battleship Mackensen sank the battleships Kawachi and Settsu, the battlecruiser Prince Frederick also sank the battleships Satsuma and Anyu. The Frederick Carr sank the Katori battleship and set the Kashima on fire, floating on the surface like a dead fish.

The battlecruiser De Fringer sank the battleship Iwami. The battlecruiser Lützov sank the battleship Hizen. The battlecruiser Hindenburg sank the battleship Shikishima.

The remaining Asahi and Mikasa, the remaining battlecruisers of the combined fleet of the island nation, were also sunk by the battlecruisers Goburn and Seydlitz.

After all the capital ships of the Combined Fleet of the Island Nation were sunk, the German Expeditionary Fleet began to pursue the protective cruisers and destroyers of the Combined Fleet of the Island Nation. It's just that those protective cruisers and destroyers, seeing that the situation is not good, have already fled first. Even though the German expeditionary fleet was faster, it only caught up with the protective cruisers and sank them. As for the destroyers, most of them fled back to the Gulf of Tonkin. However, the main force of the island nation's navy had been wiped out in this battle, and even if these destroyers remained, they would not pose any threat to the German expeditionary fleet.

The commander of the Combined Fleet of the Island Nations, Admiral Goro Ijiin, fulfilled his promise and, after sending a telegram to the Admiralty, committed suicide by seppuku in the captain's room of the battleship Katori.
