During the Tsushima Naval Battle, which took more than ten hours, the Russian Pacific Fleet was able to escape and return to Vladivostok, the port of Tsarist Russia in the Far East. However, the Russian Pacific Second Fleet also paid an extremely heavy price. All three battleships were sunk, and eight cruisers either sank or lost their combat effectiveness and sank due to serious injuries. The Russian Pacific Fleet consisting of more than 50 ships safely returned to Vladivostok.

Hirahachiro Togo originally commanded the battle on the flagship Mikasa. After just issued the first order, the flags on the flagship Mikasa were blown up from a high-explosive bomb of the Beiyang Fleet. Instantly, the entire joint fleet fell into chaos with the leaderless. Hirahachiro Togo tried to pick up command again several times, but the joint fleet had already been strangled with the Russian Pacific ships, and could not fully implement Hirahachiro Togo's orders while fighting on their own.

Hirahachiro Togo watched helplessly as the joint fleet was divided and surrounded by the Beiyang Fleet and the Russian Pacific Fleet. Hirahachiro Togo could not, so he had to lead the Mikasa to break through the chaos. Unexpectedly, after breaking through, a team of destruction formations rushed out from the left, and many ants bite the elephant to death. The boiler of the Mikasa battleship was still hit by a torpedo fired from a Beiyang Fleet torpedo destroyer, and the furnace was blown up on the spot and lost its ability to move.

Togo Heihachiro quickly changed to a speedboat and boarded another warship and fled. Junichiro Ogawa, who had been left behind, was captured by the Beiyang Fleet before he had time to open the Tonghai Valve and sank.

Finally, Hirahachiro Togo attacked Sasebo Naval Base like a stray dog, and barely fled back to the Sasebo Naval Base. After returning to the port, Hirahachiro Togo quickly returned to the fleet that flew back one after another. In order to prevent the Beiyang Fleet from attacking Sasebo overnight, Hirahachiro Togo did not rest for a moment. He took advantage of the moonlight to patrol the mine net in the Sasebo Waterway for no less than three times, and inspected the fort that was destroyed by artillery fire last time. In the glimmer of dawn, he fell on his back chair exhausted and fell asleep.

Hirahachiro Togo was too tired. From implementing a plan to attack Weihaiwei, to returning to Japan to defend the Russian Pacific Fleet, to today's Battle of Tsuma, Hirahachiro Togo had not had a good rest. The adjutant, who had just walked into the room, saw that his commander was tired and fell asleep tiredly. He couldn't bear to disturb him, so he quietly covered the door of the room and tiptoed out.

Hirahachiro Togo soon entered his dream. He dreamed that he commanded the empire's proud joint fleet on the Tsushima Strait to wipe out the Russian Pacific Fleet. Then, he rushed north and surrounded and annihilated the Beiyang Fleet in the port of Weihaiwei on the Weihaiwei. Finally, he personally cut off Tang Jian's head, picked it up with a samurai sword, and laughed.

Just as Dongxiang Pingbalang was laughing with Tang Jian's head, he suddenly saw Tang Jian's head open his eyes, black blood flowing out of his orifices, and smiled strangely at him.

Togo Hirahachiro suddenly woke up from his dream in fright. He touched his forehead and was covered in cold sweat. When he heard it, a sharp alarm sound came from outside, and it was an enemy attack!

Hirahachiro Togo sat up suddenly and looked at the quartz watch on his lower wrist. He had just slept for ten minutes. Hirahachiro Togo hurriedly picked up his military uniform on the back of the chair and ran outside.

As soon as he ran to the door, the adjutant colonel pushed open the door and rushed in in a hurry, panicking: "No, Commander!"

After he buttoned the military uniform on his neck, he felt meticulous and asked calmly: "Don't be anxious, just say it slowly!"

The adjutant, the colonel, knew that he was wrong, quickly stood attentively and said: "Report to the commander, the sign of the Beiyang Fleet was discovered in the northwest of Sasebo!"

"What?" Heihachiro Togo, who has always been unlucky in honor of honor and disgrace, was shocked. Tang Jian is really his nemesis. He failed in a battle against the horse and was completely defeated by Tang Jian. Now he has arrived here early in the morning, and his purpose is obvious.

"Order the entire army, first-level guard, and defend the invading enemy!" Togo Hirahachiro quickly recovered his calmness and began to issue combat orders in an orderly manner.

"Yes, Commander!" The adjutant colonel ran down with a folder full of combat orders and began to convey orders to the departments.

This Tang Jian! Hirahachiro Togo's heart was full of miscellaneous feelings. This Tang Jian survived the battle of Weihaiwei. If the then fleet commander Yuki Ito then followed his advice and slaughtered the entire Weihaiwei city and killed all the captive Beiyang navy, otherwise it would not have caused the disaster today. Alas, Hirahachiro Togo began to regret why he did not stick to his opinion at the beginning. It was really a disaster that would have ended up being a big disaster.

"Young Master, are you going to attack Weihaiwei this morning?" Li Gates asked.

"No, you let Cheng Biguang's Longwei attack Sasebo Port every hour with long-distance triple artillery artillery!" Tang Jian replied.

"Sir, why don't we attack Sasebo directly today? Although the original shore artillery was repaired after we bombed, its firepower was still not as good as before. The dock and repair shop in the Sasebo port were completely lost in the last bombing, and it has not been rebuilt yet. To put it bluntly, Sasebo's defense is extremely weak now, but the only thing we are worried about is the mines in the waterway." Ye Zugui analyzed on the side.

"Captain Ye, have you read "The Art of War"?" Tang Jian asked.

"Of course I have read the "Sun Tzu's Art of War" was created by Sun Bin of the Warring States Period. It is the top military book in the art of war!" Ye Zugui replied.

"Does Lord Ye know that what is the best way to win and defeat the enemy?" Tang Jian continued to ask.

Ye Zugui pondered for a moment, picked it up and replied: "A defeated the enemy without fighting is the best strategy to win and defeat the enemy!"

Tang Jian smiled and said nothing. Ye Zugui asked again, "Sir, I know that it is the best way to defeat others without fighting, but these Japanese soldiers respect the spirit of Bushido. They regard the death of the country as their greatest honor. How could they surrender so easily?"

Tang Jian lit a cigarette and said, "It is indeed not easy to make Hirahachiro Togo surrender so easily. However, we must preserve the combat effectiveness of the Beiyang Fleet and not consume the combat effectiveness of the Beiyang Fleet just because of the small joint fleet."

Ye Zugui took a deep breath and thought, in Tang Jian's eyes, the Japanese Beiyang Fleet was not even attracted to him.

"As long as we surround Sasebo, I bet that within a month, Hirahachiro Togo will surrender obediently!" Tang Jian said confidently.

"Impossible!" Ye Zugui couldn't believe it, "Then Togo Heihachiro is a Japanese naval general. According to his character, he will never sacrifice the honor of a soldier to surrender."

"Hehe, he is a soldier, and he is also a politician!"

"Politician?" Obviously Ye Zugui doesn't understand the meaning behind this word.

"Okay, Captain Ye, let the Weihaiwei power be sent and let the Nighthawks all go out!" Tang Jian said calmly.

"Yes, sir!"
