The sound of the water pump resounded throughout the ship. The water pump on the port side was desperately draining water, while the water pump on the starboard side was desperately filling water. Fortunately, the generator room and water pump room were not damaged, otherwise the entire battleship would undoubtedly sink. The Heart of the Ocean continued to tilt to the port side , Every sailor is worried that the battleship will suddenly turn over in the sea water.

At this time, the captain knew very well that a large amount of water had entered the port side, and the starboard side had also been flooded with water. If the water intake was too large and the ship's gravity was greater than its buoyancy, the battleship would still be sunk, so the captain decided: reduce the weight of the ship immediately!He grabbed the communicator and shouted: "Throw shells! Torpedoes! Rifles! Throw them all into the sea! Throw everything you can!"

However, the circuit of the communicator was damaged by the vibration caused by the explosion just now, and there was no sound in the communicator, so the captain ran out of the combat command room and shouted to the people outside: "Hurry up and throw away everything that can be thrown on the ship!" go down!"

The sailors woke up like a dream, and a team rushed to the front of the triple torpedo tubes on the starboard and starboard sides, and pressed the launch button to let the high-pressure gas push the torpedo out of the tube. The torpedo did not start, so it fell into the sea. It sank directly to the bottom of the sea. The torpedoes equipped on the British warships were all heavy torpedoes with a caliber of 533 mm. The weight of a single torpedo was more than one and a half tons!Once the six torpedoes were thrown out, the warship lost nearly ten tons of weight!

More sailors throw shells in groups of two. A 380mm caliber shell weighs nearly [-] kilograms. Throwing these things down can also reduce a lot of weight. Some sailors directly carry small objects on their bodies. Throwing it down, the high fire control room even threw out the fire control computer and binoculars, and the whole warship was throwing things into the sea everywhere, which looked like a big piece of crunchy biscuit from a distance .

Gradually, the Heart of the Ocean's tilting speed to port slowed down, and the hull slowly regained its balance, but the water injected just after adjusting the balance completely consumed the buoyancy reserve of the battleship, and the battleship could barely float on the water surface. On board, the combat power was completely lost, so the captain reported to Hixon: "Report to the commander, the heart of the ocean ship has lost 90.00% of its reserve buoyancy, 60.00% of its power, and [-]% of its firepower. Please withdraw from the battle."

Hickson then ordered: "Your ship is allowed to withdraw from the battle!" After receiving the order, the Heart of the Ocean began to turn slowly and withdraw from the battle, but the captain encountered difficulties again, thinking: "Where is the ship going to withdraw from the battle?" Withdrawal? Hong Kong is occupied by Lin Yuan's army, and the Japanese military port is far away, where are we going in the vast sea?"

Although the captain was muttering in his heart, he didn't dare to raise the question to Hixon, because Hixon had something more important to do, which was to wipe out Lin Yuan's Sanya Fleet!

Hixon looked at the direction of the Sanya Fleet in the distance and thought to himself: "The Chinese warships are really powerful. They actually beat one of our capital ships out of the battle at the beginning, but our artillery is also ready. Let you also taste the power of our British Empire Navy!"

So Hixon ordered loudly: "All ships are ready for salvo, count down to five seconds, five, four, three, two, one, fire!" After the order, the remaining fifteen battleships immediately pressed the fire button, 120 guns and 380 guns. The millimeter caliber heavy artillery roared in unison!The huge smoke from the muzzle even obscured the fleet!

Hixon laughed secretly: "We fired 120 large-caliber armor-piercing projectiles. Your Chinese warships are as small as mosquitoes. As long as one hits your mosquito ship, your warship will surely sink!"

While thinking about it, Hixon waited for the report of "cannonball hit" from the watchtower, but after waiting for a long time without any news, Hixon picked up the communicator and said loudly: "Watchtower, report the shell hit! "

The officer in the watchtower replied loudly: "Report to the commander, the Chinese fleet suddenly accelerated away, and our shells missed!"

Hixon said loudly: "Order the fire control room to continue to measure the distance of the Chinese fleet!"

The fire control room said loudly: "Report to the commander, the Chinese fleet has sailed out of the fire range of my fleet! Please adjust the course to pursue!"

Hixon hurriedly turned around to look at the combat sand table. A staff officer had already marked the positions of the enemy and us. From the sand table, Hixon saw that the Chinese fleet had turned its course and sailed towards the [-]-degree angle of its own fleet, which meant: If your own fleet doesn't turn around to pursue, it won't take long before your own fleet will be completely thrown off by Lin Yuan's fleet, but if your own fleet pursues, then you must keep the bow of the ship aimed at Lin Yuan's fleet, so that , the fleet cannot turn the bow and stern artillery to the same direction, that is to say: the fleet will lose a quarter of its firepower!

Hixon thought in his heart: "All the firepower can't kill the warships of Lin Yuan's army, wouldn't three-quarters of the firepower be able to kill the warships of Lin Yuan's troops?" Hixon was in a dilemma when he suddenly saw Lin Yuan The second cruiser squadron on the east side of the Yuan Fleet, Hixon then thought: "If we let the second cruiser squadron take the initiative to attack and block the retreat route of the Lin Yuan Fleet, then we can drive them into our artillery fire like sheep. Is it in?"

Hixon then said to John Clausius, the commander of the Second Cruiser Squadron: "Order your troops to speed up, intercept Lin Yuan's fleet, and push Lin Yuan's fleet into our range of artillery fire!"

Clausius replied loudly: "Your subordinates understand!" Clausius immediately ordered the troops to speed up and approach the Lin Yuan Fleet. Coming at us, our plan looks like it's going to fail."

It turned out that Deng Shichang decided to adopt this plan: the warship sailed out of the range of the British warship at a speed of 25 knots, and then reduced the speed to 25 knots after sailing for a while, and then attacked with missiles. The turbulence was very severe at the speed of the ship, and the angles of roll, pitch and yaw reached the maximum. Under this kind of shaking, the radar could not be aimed accurately, and the missile could not be launched in the predetermined direction. If you want to launch a missile that can hit the target, It is necessary to reduce the speed to [-] knots.

During the missile launch, the warship was still out of the range of the British warship, so it was very safe to launch the missile at this time, but now the British high-speed cruiser rushed over, which meant that the warship did not dare to slow down easily, because one But slow down, and the cruiser will approach its own battleship. At that time, the cruiser may launch a torpedo. Once the destroyer is hit by a torpedo, all that awaits it is the fate of sinking to the bottom of the sea.
