After the Russian Navy recaptured Port Arthur, all new warships were stationed in Port Arthur, while those stationed in Vladivostok were all old-fashioned warships. The warships in Vladivostok were dispatched at the same time, which shows that the Russians have great confidence in the naval duel and believe that they can definitely defeat the Japanese fleet. If the Japanese fleet fails , at that time, even old-fashioned ships were unable to intercept the Japanese.
The confidence of the Russians comes from the Cam Ranh Bay Fleet. The Cam Ranh Bay Fleet has strong maritime strength. With such an ally, the Russians are reassured. The Russian fleet boldly broke diplomatic relations at sea, cut off the Japanese supply lines, and allowed the Korean Peninsula to The Japanese army's advantage was gradually lost.
This is a conspiracy of the Russians. They are forcing the main force of the Japanese navy to fight decisively. If the Japanese navy does not dare to go to sea, Korea may be occupied by Russia. If the main force of the Japanese navy is forced to go to sea, the Russians will annihilate the Japanese navy with the cooperation of the Cam Ranh Bay fleet.
Under the command of the Russian Far East Commander Kuropatkin, the Russian Army took advantage of the Japanese Army's lack of supplies and launched a fierce attack on Seoul in March 1910. It had been more than a month since the Russians had cut off the sea lanes, and the Japanese Army was short of supplies. At a disadvantage in the battle with the Russians, Seoul became precarious.
Kuropatkin personally commanded the forces of the two Russian armies, captured Chuncheon east of Seoul, and then went south along the railway line to capture Wonju. Wonju was located southeast of Seoul, and the transportation to Shang was cut off after the Russian army captured Wonju. The Japanese army retreated to the southeast. At the same time, with the cooperation of the navy, a Russian marine brigade landed at Daecheon in southeast Korea, and successively captured Yesan, Cheonan and other places south of Seoul. The Japanese Seventh Army stationed in Seoul became a turtle in the urn.
Seoul has been determined to be undefendable. The Japanese sea traffic has been cut off, and there is no way to reinforce Seoul. The Russians have a great appetite this time and completely cut off the Japanese army's retreat from Seoul. If the Japanese navy does not dare to go to sea to rescue, the troops stationed in Seoul will The Seventh Army will be completely wiped out.
Togo Heihachiro has been waiting for the opportunity. He wanted to give the Russians the illusion that they were forced to fight, so that the Russians would underestimate the enemy. After the Seventh Army was surrounded, the Japanese base camp put pressure on Togo Heihachiro, demanding that the navy must restore sea lines of communication as soon as possible. Facing various unfavorable situations, the Japanese navy had to be "forced" to go to sea and look for opportunities to fight the Russians.
Togo Heihachiro was very cautious. He did not directly dispatch the main force of the navy. Instead, he first sent a squadron to escort the Fourth Army to land at Inchon in accordance with the requirements of the base camp. This squadron had four cruisers and six destroyers. It seemed that it was not weak, but in Russia's main fleet is absolutely vulnerable to a single blow.
Of course Togo Heihachiro would not let the squadron die. One hour after the squadron sailed, he ordered to pay close attention to the movements of the Cam Ranh Bay fleet. If the Cam Ranh Bay fleet made a move immediately, Togo Heihachiro would order the escort fleet to return immediately, and the main fleet would Definitely not leaving the port.
The Cam Ranh Bay Fleet has been operating in the west of Jeju Island without even conducting radio silence. It is easy for the Japanese to inquire about the information. Four hours after Togo Heihachiro dispatched the squadron, the Japanese player who received the task of monitoring the Cam Ranh Bay Fleet quickly sent him a telegram , reported the movements of the Cam Ranh Bay fleet.
The Cam Ranh Bay fleet began to take action, but it did not rush to the area where a decisive battle might occur. Instead, it sailed in the opposite direction. The Chinese have made it very obvious that they will not fully assist the Russian Pacific Fleet in the battle.
This can be seen by radio silence and heading west at key moments.
Chen Hao stood on the deck of the Han Wudi and ordered the fleet to keep sailing westward. However, he ordered his men to send electricity to the Russians to indicate that the fleet had been operating near Jeju Island. He did this to give the Japanese confidence that if he
The fleet has been operating around Jeju Island, and the Japanese did not dare to send the main fleet to a decisive battle with the Russians.
Togo Heihachiro waited for another three hours. After receiving the news that the Cam Ranh Bay fleet was still heading west, Togo Heihachiro immediately issued an order for the fleet to leave the port. This battle was related to the outcome of the Russo-Japanese War. It was related to Japan's
The fate of the country was so great that Togo Heihachiro made a desperate move and dispatched all his warships.
Togo Heihachiro submitted a decisive battle plan two months ago, but due to the variables of the Cam Ranh Bay fleet, the base camp has not made up its mind. The Russians blocked the sea lines of communication, which led to the possibility of the army being defeated and losing the entire North Korea. The base camp finally agreed to Dongxiang.
Heihachiro's battle plan.
Although the Cam Ranh Bay fleet retreated 120 nautical miles to the west, Togo Heihachiro did not take it lightly. The alien fleet he recruited has been heading west since setting off. If the Cam Ranh Bay fleet turns around, they will block it at all costs.
The squadron escorting the troop transport slowed down and waited for the main fleet to approach the Jeju Strait before entering the Yellow Sea through the Jeju Strait. The Russians did not know the specific location of the Cam Ranh Bay fleet, but they did know the news of the departure of the Japanese main fleet from the Pacific Ocean.
Fleet Commander Wizoft decided to fight the Japanese in the Yellow Sea northwest of Jeju Island.
The Cam Ranh Bay Fleet is not far to the west of Jeju Island. If the two sides engage in a fierce battle in the Yellow Sea, it will only take two hours for the Cam Ranh Bay Fleet to arrive at the battle site. At that time, the Japanese Navy will not be an opponent of the combined fleet.
The Japanese and Russian navies encountered each other in the Yellow Sea. Both sides had new dreadnoughts and invincible-class battlecruisers. It was an evenly matched battle. After the battle began, the Russians immediately sent a telegram to the Cam Ranh Bay fleet. The telegram said that the fish had been baited.
, let the Cam Ranh Bay fleet rush to the battlefield immediately to support.
Chen Hao smiled slightly after receiving the telegram. He ordered the fleet to stay put and not rush to the battlefield to support the Russians. Not long after, the battlecruiser Ma Chao sent news that a hundred small Japanese warships had appeared south of Jeju Island.
After bypassing Jeju Island, these small warships appeared on the route of the Cam Ranh Bay fleet rushing to the battlefield.
Chen Hao quickly figured out what was going on. In order to defeat the Russian navy, Togo Heihachiro wanted the players to hold back the Cam Ranh Bay fleet. Originally, Chen Hao planned to just do it for fun. After a while, he ordered to return, and then waited for the Japanese-Russian naval battle.
News. After learning that one hundred Japanese small warships were recruited by Togo Heihachiro as cannon fodder, he decided to accept the gift and ordered the fleet to sail to the Yellow Sea in two hours.
After two hours of the Japanese-Russian naval battle, the balance of victory gradually tilted towards the Japanese side, and the Russians were at a disadvantage. The Russian fleet lost to the Japanese. This was due to the disparity in the level of commanders. Vezoft was far inferior in command.
Not as good as Togo Heihachiro, but the biggest reason why the Russian fleet suffered losses was that they did not try their best.
The Russians are unwilling to lose too much. They are expecting the Cam Ranh Bay fleet to enter the battlefield as soon as possible and win with minimal losses. On the Japanese side, Togo Heihachiro knows that there is not much time to waste. This is the only chance for the Japanese navy to defeat the Russian fleet, so
Attack at all costs from the beginning.
On one side, the Russians were timid and had no determination to fight, trying to win at the minimum cost. On the other side, the Japanese were fully committed to fighting the Russians at all costs. It is not surprising that the Russian fleet was at a disadvantage. The battle continued.
Two and a half hours later, the dreadnought-class battleship Peter the Great built in Cam Ranh Bay was sunk by the Japanese navy, making the Russians' disadvantage even more obvious.
If it weren't for the Cam Ranh Bay navy arriving for support, Lieutenant General Wizoft would have ordered the retreat. However, the Cam Ranh Bay fleet has already sent a message indicating that it is only thirty nautical miles away from the battlefield and will arrive at the battlefield in more than an hour. Received from Cam Ranh Bay
The fleet's telegram sent Lieutenant General Wizoft with a lot of relief. Although the Russians had now lost a battleship, Japan had also lost an Invincible-class battlecruiser. The Russian fleet would not lose much if it persisted for another hour.
The naval battle between the two sides is still continuing. The scale of this naval battle far exceeds the Battle of Tsushima, and the number of dreadnoughts participating in the battle has reached seven. The Russians have four dreadnoughts, and the Japanese have three, but the Japanese
There were more new battlecruisers, and the less determined Russians could not take advantage at all.
An hour later, the Russians lost two battlecruisers again, and Japan still only lost one. At this time, the Japanese commander Heihachiro Togo made a bold decision. He ordered the dreadnought Kongo to lead six ships.
Battlecruisers outflanked the Russian navy from both sides in an attempt to cut off the Russian navy's retreat.
After the Japanese took out half of their warships to outflank, the Russian fleet immediately gained the upper hand and sank a Japanese dreadnought. Vice Admiral Witzoft knew that the Japanese warships must have been outflanked, but he was not in a hurry. Cam Ranh Bay
The fleet will soon come from the west, and the Japanese will definitely suffer heavy losses if they adopt the tactics of outflanking.
Another half hour passed, and the Japanese navy completed the outflank of the Russian fleet, and the advantage returned to the Japanese side. At this time, Vice Admiral Witzoft became a little panicked. If the Cam Ranh Bay fleet did not rush to the battlefield, he would wait for the Russian navy.
It might be that the entire army was wiped out. In panic, he quickly sent a message and asked if the Cam Ranh Bay fleet had arrived at the battlefield.
"Your Excellency, Commander, my fleet encountered trouble twenty nautical miles away. Japan's fleet of one hundred warships intercepted our fleet. But Your Excellency, Commander, don't worry, the Japanese sent small warships, absolutely not
Our opponent. As long as you persist for two or three more hours, I can completely wipe out the Japanese interception fleet and rush to the battlefield to help you defeat the Japanese navy."
Witzoft was completely dumbfounded. The Japanese had already completed the outflank. How could he hold on for another three hours? Angrily, he asked his correspondent to call back: "Commander Chen, the main force of the Japanese navy is fighting a decisive battle with our army. How can their fleet possibly hold on for another three hours?"
Will you be intercepted?"
"Your Excellency, Commander, to be precise, the Japanese aboriginal fleet is at war with you. What I am facing is Japan's alien fleet. The alien fleet only has small ships, but there are a hundred ships! They are like flying
They die together like moths, and I won’t be able to defeat them for a while.” (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone
