() "Alas... With this character and this level, he dares to be the third-largest navy in the world. How embarrassing." Under the water on the side of the battleships of both sides facing each other, Gao Jiangong, the commander of Taiwan's No. 1 Submarine Group, was lying on the periscope.
, clapped their heads and stamped their feet. They originally thought that they helped the Russians sink a Japanese battleship, causing chaos in the Japanese fleet. The Japanese lost another battleship. In this case, in a 6 to 3 situation, the Russians and
The Japanese were evenly matched for a period of time, but who would have thought that the Russians would lose their troops due to Japan's desperate tactics, which not only messed up their formation, but also betrayed their own destroyers.
"Captain, let's do it again. The Japanese cruiser opposite us has hoisted the command flag again." The submarine captain standing opposite Gao Jiangong was lying on the other observation port of the periscope, watching with Gao Jiangong.
Looking at the situation on the sea and hearing his commander complaining, he suggested.
"Wait a minute. If the Japanese are disabled, they might just run back to the port. This is not in line with the minister's requirements." The minister Gao Jiangong mentioned was Liu Fu. He was not only Taiwan's second president
The President also serves as the Secretary of Defense.
The people watching the excitement underwater were more anxious than those on the sea. Seeing that the torpedo attack was effective, the Japanese not only gave the battleship formation valuable time to adjust, but also sank several Russian destroyers, so they gave up and immediately attacked
Turning to the left, they were out of attack range, 2 kilometers apart, and slowly parallel to the Russian battleship. After the Russians were frightened by a torpedo and fled in all directions, they spent a lot of time before arranging the battle line. See
The Japanese followed from a distance, so they did not take the initiative to attack. They just stared at the Japanese battleship across the sea.
The battleship formation is temporarily in a peaceful state, but on the other side of the battlefield, more than ten kilometers away, dozens of large and small cruisers from Japan and Russia have long been fighting together. The Russian cruisers have large tonnage and heavy artillery fire.
Fierce, the tonnage of Japanese cruisers is generally small, but there are many of them. On both sides, you fight one of mine, and I sink one of yours. After nearly 2 hours of fighting, there is still no winner, but the surveillance from underwater
Judging from the battle report sent from the Taiwanese submarine, the casualties on both sides were considerable. Only 5 of the 11 Russian cruisers were left with relatively complete combat capabilities. The remaining few either caught fire or were beaten to the point where their superstructures were completely destroyed.
, there is basically no combat effectiveness; nearly half of Japan's more than 20 cruisers have been sunk, and the rest are all injured. However, the Japanese navy is getting more and more crazy, and two old cruisers have chosen to ram directly into Russia.
The battleships perished together.
This naval battle started at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. This naval battle lasted until the evening. As the sun gradually fell into the sea level, the officers and soldiers of both sides were tired of fighting. They withdrew from the battle in unison and gathered in their respective areas.
Behind the battleship, the intermission began.
Night slowly began to fall in the Tsushima Strait. The underwater Taiwanese submarines had already left the battlefield in batches, surfaced in the distance to generate electricity and ventilate. After resting, they rushed back to continue monitoring the Japanese and Russian fleets.
trends.
The Russians are obviously tired of fighting. There are now 6 of the 8 battleships left from Vietnam, and the officers and soldiers on two of them are obviously emotionally unstable and on the verge of collapse; more than 10 heavy cruisers are also on the verge of collapse.
Only 4 ships were left intact, and the rest either sank or burned on the sea; the destroyer fleet was even worse. From the beginning of the war, in order to delay the Japanese battleship attack, the Russian destroyers also made two torpedo attacks, but
None of them succeeded, but several were sunk. Later, they went to intercept Japanese destroyers, but were sold out by the battleship brother behind them. Now the Russian destroyer fleet is basically disabled, and the few remaining destroyers are too few in number.
, can only follow the battleship to do defense and rescue people, and can no longer organize a decent attack.
Japan was not much better. The fleet commander and his ship exploded and sank into the sea. The Shikishima was also hit in the ammunition depot and died in the explosion. Now Japan's combined fleet only has 3 battleships and 7 ships left.
The cruiser was covered in damage, but the destroyers were stronger than the Russians, and there were 11 destroyers and some torpedo ships.
Rear Admiral Nobogatov, the acting commander of the Russian fleet, looked at the cards in his hand. His first thought was that if he could not lead the fleet to Vladivostok, he would escape no matter whether Rostevinsky was dead or alive.
He was escorted back to Russia for trial. After a day of fierce fighting with the Japanese, he already knew the strength and madness of the Japanese navy. It was basically impossible to win this naval battle with the remaining warships in his hands. Now
The only thing he wanted to do was to take advantage of the darkness to get rid of the Japanese fleet and move closer to Vladivostok.
Rear Admiral Misu, the acting commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, was also taking stock of his losses and those of the Russians, and he was also frowning. The remaining warships are the only remaining maritime power of the empire. If they are broken out by the Russians,
So from now on, there will be no peace around the Japanese Sea. After all, Russia's national power is much greater than that of Japan. In terms of wheel recovery speed, Japan cannot keep up with the Russians' shipbuilding speed if they don't eat or drink. But if
If he uses his remaining fleet to fight the Russians, Major General Misu is not sure that he can win. As the saying goes, don't chase the enemy when you are poor. The current Russian fleet is like a black bear that is almost home. Although it was seriously injured, it was bitten.
One bite is also fatal.
"Your Excellency, Commander, Colonel Madoka has woken up. He has something to tell you. He said it was General Yamamoto's last words." While Sansu was hesitant, the chief of staff who came in through the door walked up to him and lay down beside him.
He whispered a few words to Sansu in his ear.
"Please come in, Colonel Madoka. You all go out. I will talk to Madoka-kun." After hearing this, Sansu glanced at the chief of staff. After receiving the other's affirmative look, he calmly said to the officers at all levels around him.
.
"Your Excellency, Commander, I am Koenji, the communications officer of the Mikasa. I am very sorry that we failed to protect your Excellency, the Commander. General Yamamoto asked us to bring you a few words when the Mikasa was attacked." An upper arm
He walked into the command tower with a naval officer whose head was wrapped in bandages, gave Sansu a military salute, and then whispered.
"Madoka-kun, there is no need to apologize. Both the Mikasa and General Yamamoto sacrificed their lives for the empire. What does the general want to tell me?" Sansu sat on the chair and looked at the young man opposite him seriously.
"The general told several of us present at that time that if there is anyone who escapes by chance, he must tell the Japanese military headquarters that the Mikasa was not sunk by Russian naval guns but was torpedoed by a Taiwan Navy submarine. The general also
He said, if you want to avenge the prince and Togo-kun, you must pay attention to the submarines in Taiwan." Koenji said while crying.
"What? Taiwanese submarines! Are you sure? How come there are Taiwanese submarines here?" Misu was so shocked by Madoka Colonel's words that he stood up from his seat, grabbed the opponent's shoulders and asked.
"Hiss... Yes, General, that's what General Yamamoto said. At that time, the lookout soldiers on the Mikasa ship discovered the traces of torpedoes fired from the port side of the fleet, but it was too late. Those torpedoes were too fast and the Mikasa could not avoid them.
, I was beside the commander at the time and saw the torpedo track in the water. It was very fast... at least 30 knots..." Koenji said while gritting his teeth and resisting being caught by Sansu.
Stop the pain of the wound.
"Baga..." After hearing this, Sanxu furiously kicked the seat behind him, paced back and forth in the control tower with his hands behind his back. As he walked, he muttered:
"Submarine...submarine...it turns out that His Royal Highness the Prince and Dongxiang were sunk by this thing. It's so worthless. The empire's navy is so worthless..."
