Volume 5 Divine Wind and Rain Volume 20th Sea Battle
.
It's so bitter!" A little sad.
Originally, the generals in the navy were gathering, and I couldn't even say that I was the second level. The reason why I was allowed to take this glorious position has reflected the current facts of the Imperial Navy - the star withering.
"Yuoyuki Ito, Yamamoto Kyotoe, you two old ghosts, left behind and left. You are not men. Togo, you have even left. God of Heaven, why don't you let me, the old man, go away, but take away the pride of our Satsuma family?"
The meaningless words flowed out of the old man's mouth. Although the fight had not started yet, the commander had already known the final outcome.
The tender voice of the lookout hand came from his ears. Despite the training, Commander Tsukii Kozo could still hear the panic inside. Unlike three years ago, after three years of war, most of the naval personnel were eliminated.
Although we are constantly training talents, the cultivation of a naval talent cannot be achieved in just a few months. The repeated defeats against the Northern Chinese Navy also reduces morale and effectively consumes the empire's naval talents.
"The distance is 6,500 meters, and the direction is 30 northwest, there are 11 large ships, not a total of 14."
The young lookout hand could no longer accurately report the numbers, and the elderly commander had already made up his mind to ignore this low-level mistake.
"Rise the z-character flag and call on all soldiers to be loyal to the emperor!"
Maybe it was when the jade was broken, the old man walked out of the commander's tower and stood on the bridge and stared at the rising ground. Joined together.
A drop of turbid tears fell on Cambridge. For himself or for the Japanese, no one knew that the blue bridge absorbed the tears very quickly, and it seemed that the tears had never appeared before.
"From 4500 meters, fire!"
This sentence was not issued by Commander Tsukii Kozo. It was just issued by the lookout hand, but this order was quickly executed. The powerful 305-meter main gun of the flagship Mikasa roared and shot four 305-meter shells far away. Then, the ships opened fire one after another, causing insignificant damage.
Compared with the Japanese Joint Fleet, the consequence of this round of artillery was that the huge bumps brought by the main gun volley shocked the old man who was still on the bridge under the bridge. When the military doctor came over, he found that three of the old man's ribs were broken. One of them was inserted into his lungs. Although there were not many parts inserted into his penis, the old man had already started coughing up blood foam.
Seeing this situation, the military doctor hurriedly ordered the nurse: "Come on Lieutenant General to the infirmary immediately and prepare for the operation."
The nurse wanted to carry the old man away, but the old man stubbornly blocked the nurse and prevented them from moving themselves.
"Relect me to the watchtower, where am I going to watch my soldiers fight!"
"But Your Excellency Commander. If your injury is not treated in time, it will worsen."
"This is an order!"
The officer next to him pushed the doctor away roughly and stood neatly beside the old man.
"I understand, Tsukiri, we will definitely fulfill your wish."
The old man closed his eyes tiredly and felt the loss of vitality in his body. Senior Ito. I am about to meet you.
A pulling force came from his body, and Pingjing felt that his body was being teleported by several pairs of powerful arms. The warship that was firing was very bumpy, and he heard the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground from time to time, but none of the sailors made any sound. A ladder of life sent the dying commander to the watchtower.
After trying hard to open his eyes, Tsukii saw a man looking at his hand with conscience condemned for his mistakes.
"I'm still a child. I forced him to do things that he couldn't do, but wanted him to bear all the consequences. It was really a failed guy."
"Male, can you help me with something?"
The confused "man" raised his head and his tender face surprised the old man. The empire was so difficult that even the girl had gone to the battlefield? When the boy worked hard to help the old man up, the old man finally confirmed this.
"Helpless! The enemy facing the Empire is so powerful. For thousands of years, we have lived in its shadow tremblingly, fearing that it will drown us in its anger. This time there was a chance, but this time we failed again. How long will we sink? Two hundred years, five hundred years, or forever!"
The old man felt his vitality return to his body. He opened his eyes and saw the other fleet in the distance, his own fleet, and finally looked down and saw his subordinates. Those people were standing in a row, marching and looking at him.
"With such a warrior, our Yamato will never destroy the country!" The old man passed away with his last trace of nostalgia.
The dead are already there, and the living have to work hard for their survival. The two sides are three thousand meters away. The Japanese joint fleet lost command and began to aim at their own targets and fire. The northern fleet was shrouded in a rain of bullets, but unexpectedly there was no reaction.
"Your Excellency Commander, why don't you fire a fire!"
The questioning was a student from Lushun Naval Academy. He saw Japanese artillery fire coming, but his side had no intention of counterattacking, and was very anxious.
Tan Fenglin didn't even turn his head, and the guards on the side immediately took down the guy who was making noise in the Commander Tower. This is the battlefield, not the classroom, and any guy who violates the rules will be punished.
"It's so tender. Although the battle of the life sea at 3,000 meters was found to be a real lethal distance at a distance of 2,200 meters. At this distance, the shells can penetrate armor of the same caliber. At 3,000 meters, they can only penetrate armor of 80% caliber at 80 meters."
Looking at the noisy Japanese fleet, Tan Fenglin was not worried. Even the 152mm rapid-fire run would not have much effect on any warship in the fleet. He was worried that only those large-caliber artillery artillery, and the rage of the giant dragon land was incomparable to the horns of the jackals.
As the flagship of the fleet, the "Beijing" received the most solemn firepower. Although the Mikasa of the Japanese Joint Fleet did not fire a few shells due to the commander's problem, another sister ship, Asahi, kept firing shells. One of them hit the front turret, causing a fire.
Colonel Buckingham, a British observer who went out to sea with the Northern Chinese fleet, recalled the scene later: "The sky was full of fragments flying everywhere... blood was splattered on the 20 people."
"Report to General, the enemy flagship 'Beijing' was shot and caught fire!" Inside the Japanese fleet flagship, a messenger reported to the new fleet commander Major General Fujii with great joy. The commander's tower was cheering.
The distance of 800 is just a two-minute distance for the North China fleet with an average speed of 15 (1 knot equals 1 nautical mile/hour, 1 nautical mile equals kilometer).
Stop and enter the best shooting position in the North China Fleet began with extremely fierce shooting in Tan Fenglin.
All the cannons opened fire on the Japanese ships at the same time. The first row of artillery fire hit the Japanese fleet's flagship Mikasa. The smoke window in the front was blown up, the turret failed, and the radio could not be used. In addition to the casualties and many sailors, the acting commander of the fleet died on the spot.
A surviving Japanese military officer later described the retaliatory artillery bombardment against the Northern Chinese fleet:
"We can't do it at all, and we can't count how many shells were hit. Don't say we haven't seen them before,
Even I had never seen such strong firepower in my imagination. The flagship seemed to be covered by shells, and then countless firelights rose on her body. With a last loud bang, the huge fireball made my eyes temporarily blind. When I recovered my vision, I found that the original flagship was empty. Only some floating objects proved that there had been a battleship of more than 10,000 tons here.
35794843 (A group of the Chinese Empire, everyone will add it if you are interested and express their opinions).
Among all the Japanese ships that have been hit by the North China fleet's artillery fire, the first thing that sank was the flagship Mikasa||A of the 1896 water, but the main gun volley of North China caused multiple parts to be hit. The most deadly thing was that a bomb exploded through the deck and then exploded directly in the ammunition depot.
Compared with most of the shells that returned without success, the caliber of this shell is not large, only meter. However, unlike other shells, this shell uses curved shots and the attacking part is the deck. Therefore, it is possible to tear open the Mikasa's not thick deck and slap a fatal blow to this most advanced battleship.
When Mikasa was injured, Fenglang quickly entered the warehouse from the thrust and accelerated the sinking speed. In less than a minute, he stood up miraculously, sinking with Japan's former pride.
There was silence and panic, and two completely different areas miraculously appeared on the battlefield. The Japanese fleet, which was stunned and turned toward each other, changed courses several times, trying to get rid of the increasingly fierce artillery fire. However, the North China ship relied on its speed advantage to hold on to the Japanese ships and sailed in parallel with the Japanese ships, using its favorable launch positions to carry out continuous attacks on the Japanese ships.
The entire army was wiped out by 14 pm. Considering that such a battle was no longer possible to win, Fujii could not accept this result. In the end, Fujii had to order "the entire army to retreat, and the Asahiro cut off the rear."
Tan Fenglin was very sensitive to the abnormal movement of the joint fleet. Before the joint fleet had completely implemented the escape, Tan Fenglin was already considering the next move. The Japanese fleet was divided into three parts to escape. If the Asahi, the backbone of the fleet, was entangled by its own four governor-classes, then the Japanese Navy, which had lost all the battleships, would be unable to challenge its navy.
What you need to do at this time is to try to protect the vitality of your fleet when striving for results.
After a lot of hard struggle, the Asahi was bombarded by many giant ships and had to hang up the white flag. However, Fujii could not have imagined that dozens of faint smoke columns had appeared hundreds of nautical miles behind him, and the large torpedo boat formation was ready to wait for the Japanese Navy.
At night, just as the Japanese fleet was in a hurry to travel, dozens of torpedo boats suddenly rushed towards the Japanese fleet like lightning. These already impatient Japanese torpedo boats launched a torpedo attack in the fire of the Japanese fleet's intercepting artillery. During the night battle, the Japanese fleet foolishly turned on the searchlight to search for the Japanese torpedo boats, but this was exactly the precise target for the Northern Chinese Army to launch a torpedo. With the sound of "Prepare-Release!" battle orders.
Countless torpedoes were spit out of the launch tube and hit the Asahi ship's belly like a shark. As a result, after more than two hours of fierce fighting, several Japanese battleships were destroyed again. Of course, the Northern Chinese fleet also paid several torpedo boats for this night attack.
What is extremely depressing is that after a night of hard work, the Japanese army, which lacked training, actually fled in a circle and fled to the Northern China Fleet.
However, compared to the Japanese Navy, the Chinese fleet did not expect this. After a fierce but inaccurate firefight, the two sides broke out from the state of combat.
The next morning, the Japanese fleet, which had been beaten to death, finally saw its own port, Nagasaki. At this time, the Navy Captain Ogawa Taro was the one who replaced Fujii to command the Japanese fleet. He was responsible for the fleet supply and knew nothing about commanding the fleet's combat. He held this position just because there was no officer with a higher rank than his.
"Maybe I can do my best to bring the remaining soldiers back!"
Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked back, and then silently prayed for the peace of the remaining fleet that had been piecing together nationwide and had been frequently engaged in the fight.
However, when he picked up the telescope for observation, he found that the Northern China fleet led by Tan Fenglin was rushing towards his fleet from the southwest at high speed.
When Taro Ogawa wanted to lead the fleet to hide in Nagasaki, something even worse happened. The two Japanese ships at the front collided and blocked the road. In fact, the fire three years ago almost flattened Nagasaki to the ground. Although it seemed that Nagasaki still had the appearance of finding a large port, Nagasaki was not suitable as a military port in fact. There was a little deviation in his water diversion logo, which led to the collision of two warships.
After the Northern Chinese fleet caught up, it immediately dispersed its formation and surrounded the Japanese fleet that was trying to escape, and cut off its retreat. At 8:30 am, Tan Fenglin ordered his flagship to raise the battle signal flag. Then, the 260 mm cannon on the Northern Chinese battleship took the lead in yelling at the Japanese fleet. With the attack on the Northern Chinese fleet again, the Japanese fleet had lost any courage to counterattack, and the ceasefire and surrender had become the wish of the vast majority of officers and soldiers.
At this very urgent moment, the captain of the seriously injured "Yosino" ship, Misaki Yamamoto, represented the wishes of most officers and soldiers, proposed to Taro Ogawa that "even if the jade is broken, it is useless. It is better to keep a useful body and wait for the future." Taro Ogawa also saw the severity of the situation in front of him at this moment, so he had to agree with this suggestion. So, the banner of "We surrender" was raised on the mast of the ship. Taro Ogawa explained the reason for surrender to his subordinates in pain. He said:
"I have decided to surrender to the enemy, otherwise we will only be annihilated without any purpose. When I made this decision, I was in a heavy mood, but I knew that no matter how much pain I endured, it would not change our destiny or the destiny of our motherland." After a pause, he added: "Let me bear the shame of surrender."
Seeing that all the Japanese ships had raised flags of lowering, Tan Fenglin had just arrived at the warship today to stop shelling.
