Chapter 299 Victory in the Battle of Huangyan Island(2/2)
Water columns aroused on the sea, and a small fish-radium boat was galloping in the huge waves. A fish-radium boat was unfortunately hit and exploded instantly, and the entire ship disintegrated.
This is the first fish-radium boat lost by the Chinese Navy since the outbreak of the naval war.
However, this loss is very small compared to the heavy damage suffered by the British fleet.
In the second round of fish radium, thirty fish radiums were shot densely at the British fleet. This time, twenty-one fish radium successfully hit the target, and three British ironclad ships and a British cruise ship were shot again.
Among them, the Iron Craft of the Monarch was the worst. It was hit by six fish radium one after another. Six large holes were blown open on the port side of the hull in the blink of an eye. The sea was fiercely poured in. The entire warship quickly rushed and overturned and sank in less than a minute and a half.
Two rounds of fish radium attack, most of the British Asian fleet were hit. The hull was opened with a gap and must be immediately stranded to the shallow, otherwise it will sink. The severe ones did not have time to strand to the shallow and sank within a few minutes.
The sudden huge blow made Klaus completely desperate. Half of the battleships were shot, which exceeded his psychological endurance.
If he had known the ending was like this, he shouldn't have come to Huangyan Island at the beginning, but should have let the cruise fleet evacuate and take the opportunity to fight the Chinese Navy to the death.
But now, before the main force of the Chinese fleet appeared, the other party only dispatched more than a dozen small ships, causing more than half of the British ship to sink.
This battle cannot be fought!
It's a one-sided torture!
Klaus's mouth twitched, and then a mouthful of old blood was squirting out, and he fainted immediately.
The long-term pneumonia has not been cured. I have been fighting with the Chinese Navy for a while in the past two days and have been so angry that I have even vomited lung tablets before.
This time, Klaus fainted and never got up again.
He was the first lieutenant general officer in the Royal Navy of the British Empire to be angry to death and was recorded in history.
Carter took over command, and he was more distressed than anyone else at this moment.
There was no way, Klaus fell down, and Carter, as his deputy, had to take over command. He didn't want to take over command, especially at this time, taking over command means taking responsibility for defeat.
But Carter had no choice. He couldn't take much care of it now, but wanted to survive.
