In the battle with the Combined Fleet, the Borodino and the Eagle could still reach a speed of 12 knots, and now the two warships could not even drive 10 knots, so Kashnilov could not go fast if he wanted to, and the other side obviously saw this, so he also deliberately slowed down the speed to less than 10 knots.

In the process of closing the distance between the two sides, they were still shelling each other, and the Weiyang shelled a total of 6 rounds, resulting in 1 close miss and 3 hits, while the Borodino only carried out 4 rounds of shelling, achieving 1 close miss and 1 hit.

The near-miss caused the two sealed compartments of the Weiyang to crack and enter the water, and one of the shells hit the port side of the Weiyang, blowing a large gap in the front of the ship and killing more than 10 soldiers, but overall the damage to the Weiyang was not great.

On the contrary, the Borodino was hit by three bullets and one shot hit a position of one meter on the waterline on the side of the side, although it still bounced off, but caused the side side to deform and enter the water; one shot hit the front of the front main turret, although it failed to overturn the turret, but caused more than 20 soldiers in the turret to be killed and wounded, and the turret was clamped and could not be rotated; one shot hit the front of the command center, although the explosion failed to penetrate the command center, but the cracked metal fragments still caused a large number of casualties in the command center, Kashnilov was hit by three fragments, went into shock on the spot, and his life and death were unknown, while the seriously injured first mate Djokovic forcibly took over the command of the warship and hung outThe banner of "Anyway, quit the battle" was put aside and pushed the Eagle in second place to the front row.

And just when the Weiyang and the Borodino were angry with each other, the Eastern Fleet also changed its tactics, and the Ocean and Kaihai behind the Weiyang all sailed out of the column, circled forward, and formed a parallel with the Weiyang, forming a "trident" formation. Since neither side is willing to turn first, it is better to fight a battle with the bow against the enemy, and let the Ocean Ocean and Kaihai bypass the Weiyang, so that they can all open fire.

As a result, before the Eastern Fleet could be positioned, the Borodino was crippled and forced to withdraw from the battle, and the hapless Eagle faced a one-on-three situation as soon as it went into battle.

So the Eagle did not wait to understand what was going on, it was hit intensively by the other side, and at this time the distance between the two sides has been shortened to about 2500 meters, and the hit rate is also amazingly high, as a result, in 3 minutes, Weiyang, Ocean bombarded 4 rounds, and Kaihai was blasted out of 5 rounds, only to hit the surrounding water of the Eagle, in this burst of Wang Eight bombs, the Eagle suffered 6 bullets in a row, and there were 3 rounds of approach, and the entire bow was almost completely broken. The Eagle fought back only one round, and all of them missed.

As a result, the Borodino had just retreated to the side, and before it could breathe a sigh of relief, the Eagle also put out the banner of "quitting the battle" and rushed to be its companion, becoming a pair of difficult brothers.

At this time, the Russian fleet still had the protective cruisers Oleg, Aurora, Svetlana and two destroyers, all exposed to the Eastern Fleet. The Oleg and Aurora look not small, about the same size as several battleships, but they are actually the same level as the Qingzhou class, with thin skin and big stuffing, and they are a scum in front of battleships and large armored cruisers.

Moreover, what makes these warships feel sad is that they can't escape now, because at this time, the warships of the cruiser detachment and the destroyer detachment of the Eastern Fleet also left the column and spread out on both sides of the three capital ships, completely turning the linear column into a horizontal formation, spreading horizontally for more than 3,000 meters, and the guns on the foredeck were uniformly pointed at the Russian ships. No matter how many warships escape in that direction, it will take at least 10 minutes or so to completely escape from the range of the Eastern Fleet's firepower. And now the speed of the Russian ship cannot even reach 10 knots, and it can escape there. Therefore, the remaining Russian ships were also completely dumbfounded, and could only wait for the other side to strike fiercely.

However, after 3 or 4 minutes, the imaginary blow did not come, and at this time, a Russian ship found that the opposing warship had raised a banner demanding the surrender of the Russian ship. At this point, the Russian fleet had no other choice, and if it did not surrender, it would be sunk. Of course, at this time, we must first look at the attitude of the temporary flagship Borodino, if the flagship chooses to surrender, then the other warships will naturally surrender; but the flagship refuses to surrender and fights to the death, then the other warships will have to reevaluate the choice, so the other warships also send flags to the Borodino and ask the flagship's attitude.

At this time, the captain of the Borodino, Kashnilov, was still in the emergency rescue and did not wake up, and the acting captain Djokovic was obviously not interested in serving the country, so he sent the second mate to the Weiyang in a small boat to negotiate with the KPA.

In the end, the KPA promised that as long as the Russian ships no longer resisted and surrendered to the KPA Navy, then after the end of the war and after returning to Qingdao, the entire fleet would be released and handed over to the Russian consulate in Shanghai.

In fact, the People's Army mainly looks at these warships, although the Borodino and the Eagle were seriously damaged, they were not damaged and could be repaired, while the Oleg, Aurora, and Svetlana did not have much loss, so if these warships could be captured, the strength of the People's Army Navy could be further improved.

Djokovic was also very satisfied with such conditions, and even thought of the excuse when he returned to China for a hearing and investigation after being released, because at this time, the Russian ship was definitely invincible to the opponent, and if it continued to fight, let alone win, it would not even have the possibility of escaping, so it could only die in battle, and he chose to surrender, which could save the lives of more than 1,000 Russian officers and soldiers, all of whom were officers and men with rich experience in navigation and combat, and the efforts of these people were needed to rebuild the Russian Navy in the future.

After all, the Eastern Fleet still has to participate in the later battles, and the surrendered Russian ships also need to be watched by warships, so it was first decided to draw two warships from the cruiser detachment and the destroyer detachment to watch over these Russian ships, and the guns of each Russian ship were all stopped, returned to the state before the battle, and covered with gun jackets, except for the power cabin and pilot, all the other personnel were transferred to the warships of the People's Army, and at the same time, the People's Army also sent a small number of personnel to each warship to control the command room and deck, so that it could completely control these Russian ships。 Then they sailed back to anchor near the place where the Kunming ship was located, waited for the battle to end, and then returned to Qingdao together.

After dealing with these things, the Weiyang, the Ocean, and the Kaihai led the remaining warships to the next battlefield.

―――――――― Divider ――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――

While the Eastern Fleet and the Russian Fleet were in a fierce battle, the Western Fleet also saw its own target. However, the situation faced by the Western Fleet was much more complicated than that of the Eastern Fleet, and the fleets of Japan and Russia were engaged in fierce battles.

The Russian warships Jing Battleships Nicholas I and Navarin, the cruisers Admiral Apraksin, Admiral Ushakov, and Admiral Sinyavin participated in the battle, as well as 2 destroyers, while the Japanese warships were the 3rd and 5th Squadrons.

The 3rd Sentai of the Combined Fleet is the strongest in addition to the 1st and 2nd Sentai Fleet, with 4 protective cruisers of the Kasaki, Chitose, Shintaka, and Otowa 4, all of which are new warships launched after 1900, and the speed is more than 21 knots, which is the Kasaki and Chitose, with a displacement of nearly 5,000 tons and a speed of 23 knots, which is an improved and strengthened version of the meritorious warship Yoshino in the Sino-Japanese War; and the notification ship Yaeyama, the three protective cruisers are all old ships that participated in the Sino-Japanese War, that is, the famous "Sanjing Ship" at that time, the biggest feature of these three warships is that the small ships carry large guns, only a displacement of more than 4,000 heads, but they are equipped with a 320 mm caliber main gun.

After the Russian fleet collapsed, the 3rd squadron first found this Russian fleet, but it also encountered the problem of radio interference and could not transmit information to the flagship, and the Russian fleet also had 2 battleships, so the 3rd squadron did not dare to take the initiative easily.

And at this time, the 5th Sentai actually found this, after the two fleets converged, although it was still impossible to transmit the message by radio, but the two commanders thought that there was still a fighting power, because the Mikei ship had three 320 mm caliber main guns, so they sent the Yaeyama to find the flagship, and then 7 Japanese warships immediately pounced on the Russian fleet.

Nicholas I and Navarin were not damaged much in the previous battles, after all, it was 4 Borodino-class ships in front, but these two battleships were too old, and after more than 30,000 kilometers of voyage, they can now only run at most 8 knots, although the caliber of the main gun has reached 305 mm, but it is an old-fashioned artillery enclosure gun, which takes 4 or 5 minutes to fire once. And the three "admirals" were originally shore defense ships, which were not suitable for running in the open ocean, and to be honest, it was already a miracle that they were able to run here without being bad.

After the battle between the two sides, the battle was very fierce, the Russian ships had large tonnage, strong firepower, and thick armor, but the speed and rate of fire were slow, and the Russian ships also knew that their speed was slow, so the two battleships were divided into the head and tail, and the three "admirals" were protected in between, and they tried their best to bombard each other with the main guns of the two battleships, and strive to kill the enemy with one shot.

The Japanese ships have small tonnage and weak firepower, but they are fast and flexible, and the 3rd Squadron is moving around the battlefield at high speed, constantly interfering with the Russian ships, striving to disrupt the queue of the Russian ships, and from time to time breaking into close range, sweeping the deck of the Russian ships with rapid-fire guns, while the 5th Squadron is steady and steady, waiting for the opportunity to use its 320 mm main guns to give the Russian ships a fatal blow.

The whole battle is a bit like a copy of the Great East Ditch War, the Russian fleet is like a huge body, rough skin and thick flesh bison, and the Japanese warship seems to be a group of thin and flexible bodies, but there are sharp teeth and claws to the hyena, the round of the siege of the bison, the cold on the bite of the bite, you can bring a large piece of flesh and blood, but the bison rely on their height and strength, although they can not get rid of the siege of the hyena, but it is not so easy to deal with, if the hyena is accidentally hit by the horns, it is also quite fatal.
