At 11:20 a.m., the British and French fleets began a second round of shelling, and at the same time, eight British and French cruisers began to circle the flanks of the Huaxia fleet, intending to form a two-sided attack with the battleships.

The second round of shelling still had no results, and the Huaxia fleet at this time also pulled the British and French fleets into the firing range.

With the power of the cloudburst bomb, as long as one hits the enemy ship, it is enough to kill and injure a large number of people on the ship, causing a huge shock to the enemy ship, and even turning the tide of the battle.

Clusters of flames rose on the sea, and suddenly, a fireball surrounded the Sovereign ship, and the entire Huaxia fleet was jubilant...

But what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations, only to see that the monarch ship did not explode at all, nor did it catch fire, and there was a new round of shelling with other British and French warships, which means that the cloud burst bomb did not kill the monarch ship at all.

Everyone was stunned, our killer ...... Why didn't the cloud burst suddenly work?

At this time, the sailors of the Huaxia fleet did not know that the British and French fleets had already defended against the cloud burst bomb, and with the technical strength of the British and French and the navy, they would not let the repeated appearance of the cloud burst bomb kill and injure them.

Although they did not understand the specific principle of the cloudburst bomb, they understood through the accounts of the Japanese and the Dutch that the most important factor causing damage to the so-called cloudburst bomb was flame, so they reduced the number of people exposed to the hull, encrypted and reinforced the superstructure of the ship, and then sealed the turret, so as to minimize the lethality of the cloudburst bomb.

The cannonballs from the British and French battleships rained down on the Huaxia fleet, and Sun Yong was silently praying that the shells would never hit us...

Suddenly, the voice of the captain of the Wyvern came from the Blue Bird machine: "Report to the commander, the Wyvern was hit in the middle of the ship, the steam boiler was destroyed by three-quarters, the speed dropped to seven knots, and it was no longer possible to maintain a battle formation with other warships, so I asked to withdraw from the battle." ”

A single shell hit the Wyvern and lost three-quarters of its boilers, and the British and French shells were too strong ... Sun Yong said in a deep voice: "Allow your ship to withdraw from the battle..."

The Wyvern turned and retreated, but the British and French cruisers did not give up and chased after them, and they concentrated three warships to besiege the Wyvern, and the Wyvern could only fight with the three warships at a slow speed, falling into the upper hand, and being shot from time to time.

Looking at the besieged Flying Dragon Ship, Sun Yong's heart was like a knife, and at this moment, the Chief of Communications suddenly reported: "Commander, Captain Gao Longcheng, led the Song Zu ship to escape..."

"What..."Sun Yong exclaimed in surprise, picked up the binoculars and looked into the distance, only to see that the Song Zu ship was desperately fleeing in the direction of Ma Chen, and the British and French battleships on the opposite side did not stop because they did not want to destroy the formation.

Gao Longcheng didn't agree with Sun Yong's battle just now, and now he took the initiative to escape, the Huaxia fleet, and there has never been a captain who escaped from the battle...

"Traitor... Brute..."Sun Yong scolded viciously, "Immediately use the Blue Bird Machine to send a message to Ma Chen, saying that Gao Longcheng, the captain of the Song Zu ship, led the Song Zu ship to escape..."

At this moment, the British and French battleships fired again, this time the Angry Dragon Ship was shot, and the explosion sounded near the bridge, and the captain of the Angry Dragon Ship, Gu Pengsong, was killed on the spot...

Since the formation of the Huaxia Navy, no captain has ever been killed...

The Chinese fleet was able to fire against the enemy's heavy artillery, and with its excellent fire control system, several armor-piercing shells also hit the British and French battleships, but the British and French battleships were unaware of it...

Due to the huge difference in displacement, the British and French battleships could not survive even a few dozen shells, while the Chinese battleships, once hit by an enemy ship, faced annihilation... This is another great difficulty that the Huaxia Fleet must face.

The British and French battleships began to turn their hulls and aim their sides at the Huaxia battleships, each of which had more than a dozen rapid-fire secondary guns of 150 mm caliber on the side of each battleship, and once these secondary guns joined the battle group, they were bound to cause damage to the Huaxia battleships.

Sun Yong looked at his watch, it had been half an hour since the convoy left, and as long as we held on for another half an hour, it would be difficult for the British and French battleships to find them...

Sun Yong said in a deep voice: "Attention of all units, hold on for half an hour now, and after half an hour, the whole fleet will break through." ”

As soon as the order came out, everyone smiled bitterly, our fleet, I don't know if it can hold out for half an hour?

The secondary guns on the Sovereign ship fired, the secondary guns on the majestic ship fired, the secondary guns of the Charlie Matra ship also fired, more than a dozen shells in the hull of the Crazy Dragon, the hull began to enter a large number of waters, Yuan Bochao, the captain of the Crazy Dragon Ship, ordered, to move forward at full speed and sink the Monarch Ship...

A tragic scene appeared in the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, but this time, there was no Lin Fei on the battleship who could turn the tide.

When the dragon ship was impacting, a 343 mm shell fired by the monarch ship hit the ammunition compartment, and the powerful shell instantly broke through the protective armor of the ammunition compartment, and the shell in the ammunition compartment was instantly detonated, and the violent explosion almost cut the dragon ship into two parts.

The wreckage of the dragon ship lasted less than two minutes on the sea surface and sank, since the formation of the Huaxia fleet, no warship has ever been sunk, the dragon ship is the first, it has always been the Huaxia battleship that sank others before, but today, the Huaxia battleship has also been sunk.

The sea was full of sailors who had fallen into the water, and Yuan Bochao, the captain of the Crazy Dragon Ship, was also among them, because their position was far away from the main fleet, the main fleet was unable to send small boats to support, but the British and French battleships on the opposite side sent small boats to capture the Chinese sailors.

Yuan Bochao shouted "I'd rather die than surrender", took out his pistol and shot at the enemy, and none of the Chinese sailors surrendered, they used guns to shoot those who had guns, and those who didn't have guns grabbed things floating around them and threw them at the enemy...... Seeing that the Chinese sailors were unwilling to surrender, the British killed them one by one in the water.

The battle on the sea continued, and the shells fired by the Huaxia battleships could not be used by the British and French battleships, but the shells of the British and French battleships were fatal, and half an hour later, the Wyverns, Kanglongs, and Fulong sank one after another.

Only the Qinhuang ship was left on the sea, and the condition of the Qinhuang ship was also extremely bad, all the boilers on the hull of the ship were blown up, and the Qinhuang ship lost all power and could only float on the sea, like a turtle with four legs and tail cut off.

The British and French battleships had stopped firing at this time, and the sea was quiet, Sun Yong knew in his heart that Britain and France wanted to capture their own battleship alive, and the former Dragon-class cruiser display could not satisfy the appetite of Britain and France at all, and they wanted a real battleship to unveil the mystery of the Huaxia battleship in their hearts.

Two British cruisers sailed towards the Qinhuang ship, the small-caliber machine guns frantically poured bullet rain, the shells of this small-caliber machine gun will not sink the warship, but can kill and injure people, the British want to use the small-caliber machine gun as a cover, board the Qinhuang ship, and then occupy the whole ship.

The small-caliber cannon fire stopped after a while, the British sailors began to prepare to board the ship, Sun Yong walked out of the command room, the deck was full of blood, the water was left by the firefighters to extinguish the fire, the bodies of the sailors were soaked in blood, there were too many dead, and there was no one to collect the bodies.

Around Sun Yong, several wounded people were whispering, and Sun Yonghu roared: "Is there anyone alive, stand up..."

Several sailors stood up with each other's arms, and Sun Yong pointed to the British and French fleets in the distance, and said loudly: "Look, the British and French fleets have stopped attacking, do you know why?" ”

"For the sake of ...... In order to...... Capture our battleship. The sailors said one after another.

"That's right, they are planning to capture our warship, we must not let them succeed, and now I order that explosives be planted in the watertight compartments on both sides of the hull, blow up the hull, and sink to the bottom of the sea..."

Everyone was shocked by this tragic order, and no one spoke, but helped each other out of the cabin, and Sun Yong did not return to the command room, and walked down the cabin with the soldiers.

The appearance under the cabin was even more tragic, with blisters and fire marks everywhere, wounded sailors reclining on bulkheads, corpses lying in the aisles, and the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke and disgusting blood filled the cabin.

Sun Yong said loudly: "Alive, come with me to move explosives and blow up the ship..."

The wounded stood up with the bulkhead, and Sun Yong came to the ammunition compartment, where there was little ammunition left, and everyone put the only remaining shells on the transport cart, pushed the transport cart to the watertight compartment, put the shells on the edge of the watertight compartment, and detonated.

At this time, a high-pitched voice came from outside the cabin, "The Chinese sailors of the Qinhuang ship, please listen, your warship has lost its combat effectiveness, you have fulfilled your duties as sailors, now you can leave the battleship proudly, come to our side, we promise to let you return to your family." ”

A sailor beside Sun Yong laughed, "Commander, this Englishman is really interesting, and even his words of persuasion to surrender are high-sounding." ”

Sun Yong smiled simply, did not speak, detonated another cannonball, and the sea water poured into the hull again, and at this time, on the other side of the ship, there were also sailors doing the same thing.

Sun Yong didn't only blow up one side of the ship, because that would make the ship roll sideways, so that the battleship would buckle on the surface of the water and not sink, and the British and French troops could come over and flip the ship back, so that the Qinhuang ship would still fall into the hands of the enemy.

Seeing that the persuasion to surrender was ineffective, the British planned to send a small boat and forcibly board the ship, but before they could get closer, the Qin Emperor's ship sank, and with 208 sailors on board, they slept at the bottom of the sea.

The Battle of Semarang, which lasted for an hour and a half, officially ended, and the British and French fleets sank five warships of the Huaxia Fleet at the cost of one unsinkable, forcing one battleship to escape from the battle and winning a complete victory, while the Huaxia Fleet suffered the most painful defeat since the formation of the army.

Having lost half of its fleet, Lin Fei and Lin Fei's Huaxia Empire were forced to the edge of the cliff.
