After a few minutes, Gui Boyong made several calls in a row before he asked clearly.

The "Jihe" and "Guijiang" who had previously moved south came back and approached the enemy fleet from the back, and then opened fire on the enemy ship No. 5 and enemy ship No. 6 respectively.

Because they were not counterattacked and the distance was close enough, the artillery fire of the two warships was extremely accurate.

In order to enhance the impact, even the 100mm secondary cannon was used.

The two enemy ships, namely the Lion and the Princess, were not so lucky.

A few minutes after Gui Boyong asked about the situation, two enemy ships were shot one after another, and from a distance, they seemed to be engulfed by artillery fire.

Although most of them are the result of the secondary artillery, it is definitely very miserable to be shrouded in dense artillery fire.

At 10:31, seven minutes after the explosion of the "Marry Queen" sank, the Lion" followed. About three minutes later, the ship raised the white signal flag, but then another violent explosion occurred, and it sank five minutes later.

At 10:37, the Princess overturned in the artillery fire.

Two minutes before, at 10:35, the Tiger released the smoke screen again and completed the tactical turn. Then, it released the smoke screen again at around 10:40, and accelerated the evacuation with the cover of the smoke screen, and expanded the distance to more than 20 kilometers within ten minutes.

He Yongxing did not order a pursuit.

At 10:40, when the Tiger completed its steering and began to accelerate, He Yongxing ordered the Luhe to speed up to catch up with the flagship.

Although the Beihe did not have the risk of sinking, after the telecommunications center was paralyzed, it had basically lost its ability to act as a flagship. Before the Beihe was put into service, the flagship of the 21st Squadron was the Luhe, and all the facilities required for the flagship were retained. As for the Nanjiang, in order to save costs, there was no command tower set up during construction, which was not suitable for serving as the fleet flagship.

At 10:55, all the officers and soldiers of the command headed by He Yongxing boarded the motorboat sent by the "Luhe" and ten minutes later, they boarded the "Luhe" that caught up with it. Immediately afterwards, the "Luhe" raised the commander's flag that symbolized his identity.

The fleet did not stop and continued to sail south after completing the steering.

When passing by the sunken waters of three enemy ships, someone asked to rescue the officers and soldiers who fell into the water.

He Yongxing did not agree, but ordered the ships to leave the excess life-saving equipment behind.

It’s not that He Yongxing is unwilling to save people, but that he cannot delay his precious time, because the fast combat team commanded by Betty may arrive at any time.

Besides, the six warships of the 21st Squadron also suffered varying degrees of damage, and it was too late to save themselves.

When he arrived on the "Lu River", Bai Zhizhan did not go to the commander's bridge immediately, but went to the officer's bathroom to take a shower and change into a clean set of clothes.

When he arrived at the commander's bridge, Gui Boyong and several other major staff members were briefing He Yongxing.

There is nothing to say about the results of the battle, mainly the damage to the battle.

The most severely damaged was the "Beihe". Not only was the nautical bridge blown up, but the main rangefinder was also scrapped. Even the No. 2 turret in front was affected. The scope installed at the tail of the turret was blown up, resulting in the two main gun turrets in front could only be blindly fired by the parameters provided by the secondary bridge.

That shot also caused more than 30 casualties.

Fortunately, Captain Colonel Zhang Guozhu has temporarily been out of danger of his life.

The Nanjiang was unable to escape, and was hit by at least a thirteen-five-inch shell. It was just fortunate that the armor-piercing shell did not explode.

The four warships that directly fought with the First Battle Patrol team suffered a lot of small-caliber shells and suffered some losses, but it was not a big deal.

The biggest problem is the Beihe.

The main rangefinder was destroyed and the front scope installed on the No. 2 turret was damaged enough to reduce the ship's shelling hit rate to an intolerable level.

If there is still a battle, then this problem is very serious.

The key is that among the six battlecruisers, only two of the Beihe class have 400mm naval guns, and the other four are equipped with 350mm naval guns.

The battle cruisers of the First Battle Patrol team were sharp enough to deal with the two caliber naval guns.

However, facing the five "Queen Isa"-class battleships of the Quick Battle Team, the 350mm armor-piercing projectiles were obviously not strong enough.

Especially the two "Jihe" class, because they are equipped with 40-diameter tube 70-year-old naval guns, it is very difficult to deal with super-dreadnoughts. The "Luhe" class is equipped with 45-diameter tube 73-year-old naval guns, and they can compete with each other against weaker protection battleships.

If the Beihe cannot perform normally, it will be abolished half of its main firepower.

Several senior staff members were fighting over and over again, discussing not how to fight or hide, that is, how to avoid the express war team.

Some people proposed to go south at full speed, trying to enter South Zhuhai before the joint fleet is adjusted and deployed, then sail westward, enter the Yanhai through the Shuangche Strait, and go to the southern military port of the Empire. Even if necessary, they can enter Xuhai from Zudao Strait and return to the home port of the local fleet in the future.

Some people also think that going north is the most suitable, because the enemy can definitely guess that the 21st Squadron will choose to go south, so as to gather heavy troops in the south, waiting for the 21st Squadron to die. There is still a chance to expand the results of the battle north, that is, the Second Battle Patrol team is hovering near the Naqiu Port in the north.

Some people suggested that they just stay here and wait until it gets dark, that is, the tide rises at night, and take advantage of the rising water level and slip back from the northern channel.

When a group of senior staff advisers came out to make suggestions, He Yongxing never said anything and his face looked very ugly.

There is no doubt that, including Gui Boyong, these senior staff members did not understand that retreat and avoiding war were not within the range of choice.

Retreat is nothing more than to preserve the fleet.

To this end, what's the use of saving the fleet?

More than two years ago, after suffering a crushing defeat, the high seas fleet of the Tyman Empire could not retreat, and the situation of the Tyman Empire did not improve at all. Perhaps soon, when the Tyman Empire was defeated and surrendered, the high seas fleet would be taken to the Naval Base of the Kingdom of Bran.

The Imperial Navy absolutely cannot tolerate such a great humiliation.

In the early morning, at the moment when the Red Blood Battle Flag was raised, there was no way out!

Fortunately, Gui Boyong was not blindly blind to the commander's gloomy face.

"It's getting late, and the officers and soldiers will change their duty in a while. Let's go for lunch first. Commander He, what do you want to eat? I'll make arrangements now."

"You guys go first, I'll go there later."

Gui Boyong was not talking too much, and other senior staff members also understood and followed Gui Boyong to say goodbye to He Yongxing.

After blew the sea breeze on the lookout dozens of meters high for several hours, it almost fell down and broke into pieces, making Bai Zhizhan even more self-aware.

It is not a problem to like to show off in front of others and be aggressive, that is the problem.

Unfortunately, even if Bai Zhizhan doesn't want to be the first to be a leader, he can't avoid it now.
