Early the next morning, the two sides launched a military exercise on the sea, and for a time the warships of the two sides went back and forth on the sea surface, sometimes lining up in a straight line, sometimes in the shape of a chevron goose, and from time to time they opened fire, with the sound of artillery rumbling and smoke filling the air, and it was also very lively.

Although the significance of such a military exercise is greater than its substance, the Japanese Navy still shows a very high level of professional quality, whether it is the formation navigation of the fleet, the array line shooting, or the live ammunition target shooting, it has performed very well, and it far surpasses the KPA Navy and the Beiyang Naval Division in almost all items. It also shows that the Japanese Navy has undergone very rigorous and efficient training in peacetime.

Moreover, the People's Army Navy is not only inferior to the Japanese Navy, but also has a considerable gap compared with the Beiyang Naval Division. Therefore, the final result was the worst for the KPA Navy.

However, such a result is also higher than the expectations of the traverser, after all, the People's Army Navy has only been in force for a few days, even the warships have been captured, and the soldiers are only farmers for a few months, and whether it is the Japanese Navy or the Beiyang Naval Division, they are all navies that have been in the army for more than ten years, even if the Beiyang Naval Division has been rebuilt, it has been more than 3 years, not to mention that there is also the foundation of the old Beiyang Naval Division, which is not comparable to the current People's Army Navy. To tell the truth, if the KPA can drive the warship out and walk around and then return safely, it can be regarded as a success.

In the actual combat confrontation on the last day, after drawing lots, the arrangement of the single ship matchup was: the first Orlando VS Takasago, the second Lufthansa VS Kasagi, the third Kaiki VS Yoshino, and the fourth Kairong VS Chitose.

As a result, the Orlando and the Lufthansa were defeated by a large score, and both ships were scored by the opponent with more than 100 points, after all, whether it was the captain's command ability, the professional quality of the soldiers, including the performance of the warship, was inferior to Japan, and the Orlando only scored 15 points, and the Lufthansa scored a little better, and only scored 24 points. This is not to say that the quality of the soldiers on the Lufthansa is better than that of the Orlando, but because the Lufthansa was launched later and the hull is newer, so the level of performance is much better than that of the Orlando.

In contrast, the results of the two warships in the Beiyang Naval Division competition were much better, Sa Zhenbing personally commanded the Haiqi against the Yoshino, and the result was a slightly narrower victory of 58:52, which was also the only victory for the KPA side, while the Hairong lost to the Chitose 50:66, but both the scene and the result were much better than the Orlando and the Lufthansa. In addition to the good performance of the Haiqi and Hairong, it also shows that the daily training level of the Beiyang Naval Division is still good.

Although Togo Heihachiro and Akiyama Shinnoto knew very well that this was not the true level of overseas Chinese, it was still a matter of joy to be able to win with such an obvious advantage, and it played a considerable role in boosting the morale of the people in Japan. Because since the landing of overseas Chinese, it has achieved outstanding victories on both land and sea, and as a member of the Eight-Nation Alliance, he is naturally among the losers, although Japan did not send the main army to participate in the war, but after all, it is a shameless face, and winning the overseas Chinese in this naval military exercise is enough to take it to the country for propaganda.

However, in the next fleet confrontation, the scene was somewhat unexpected by Togo Heihachiro and Akiyama Shinyuki, because they won easily in a single ship confrontation, and it can also be seen that the quality of overseas Chinese naval soldiers is not high, so Togo Heihachiro and Akiyama Shinyuki are also full of confidence in the fleet confrontation, thinking that they will be able to win easily.

Moreover, at the beginning of the confrontation, the four warships of the People's Army unexpectedly discharged a horizontal goose-shaped formation, while the Japanese fleet responded with a column array, as if it was a copy of the Battle of Dadonggou. And this time, Togo Heihachiro and Akiyama Shinyuki were even more relieved, because the battle of Dadonggou had proved that the efficiency and firepower of the one-line column array were far better than the horizontal formation.

However, after the two sides approached, the People's Army's goose-shaped formation quickly divided into two groups, consisting of the Orlando and Hansa as a group, and the Haiqi and Hairong as a group, and all of them formed a column formation, and flanked the Japanese fleet from both sides.

If the two sides continue to sail in such a relative way, and the two sides stagger by, the Japanese fleet will inevitably fall into the two sides of the other side, and if they follow the example of the other side to divide their forces to meet the enemy, first, they have already lost the first opportunity, and second, this will become a chaotic battle, and they will not be able to control the overall situation, so the captain of the Kasaki, who served as the flagship, Koosa Shijima, immediately made a decision and immediately ordered the whole team to turn in the direction of the Orlando and the Lufthansa, and seize the T-shaped crosshead, intending to strike at the two weaker warships first.

The Orlando and the Lufthansa immediately turned in the opposite direction of the Japanese fleet, and as the two sides staggered in parallel, a fierce exchange of fire immediately began. Originally, the Orlando and the Lufthansa were inferior in combat effectiveness to the Japanese warships, and they were more than they could meet with less, so they were hit by many bullets, and they hardly dealt any blow to the Japanese warships.

However, at this moment, the Haiqi and Hairong had already turned around, and while firing fiercely, they were inserted diagonally into the Japanese fleet's queue at high speed from the outside, cutting off the Chitose, the last ship of the fleet, from the main team, and concentrating their firepower to fire at the Chitose. The Lufthansa also immediately outflanked the Chitose from the rear, and in the local battlefield formed a situation in which four warships besieged the Chitose, and for a time shells rained down on the Chitose, and when the other three Japanese warships turned around, the four KPA warships immediately separated and evacuated. At this time, most of the Chitose hull had been dyed red, I don't know how many shots were made, and a lot of paint even flowed into the seawater, if it was in actual combat, the Chitose would have been sunk long ago.

Heihachiro Togo and Shinyuki Akiyama couldn't help but be surprised, in the round of fighting just now, although there was the factor of the Japanese fleet's light enemy, but the exquisite cooperation of the overseas Chinese navy was the main reason, and the overseas Chinese obviously used the Orlando and the Hansa as a lure to create an opportunity for the two cutting-edge Haiqi and Hairong to insert and divide the Yueben fleet, and the cooperation of the two squads was almost to the point of seamless precision, which was breathtaking. And Heihachiro Togo and Shinyuki Akiyama all thought of a question, how do overseas Chinese do it?

In this era, maritime communication can only rely on flags, but affected by the distance and the smoke of fire, so the role of flags is very limited, and the advantage of a column array is that the communication is simple, as long as you keep up with the ship in front, and if you use detachment tactics, communication between each other is a big trouble, and it is difficult to form a cooperation. In the First Battle of Dadonggou, although the Japanese fleet used a one-line column array, it was divided into three detachments to meet the battle, and there were many mistakes in coordination on the battlefield, resulting in mutual interference. It's just that the three detachments basically maintain a neat formation, and the Beiyang Naval Division makes more mistakes. So how did the two detachments of overseas Chinese complete the cooperation just now?

Of course, the KPA fleet relies on radio communication, so the two detachments can maintain good communication and form precise coordination. This was also the main reason why the KPA dared to divide its fleet to meet the Japanese fleet.

The two sides reorganized their formations, and although most of the Chitose was dyed red, according to the rules, it could still continue to participate in the war, so Japan was still arrayed in a single column, but it did not dare to underestimate the enemy again, and it was cautious, and there was no chance for the People's Army to be divided, and the People's Army was still divided into two teams to meet the attack, relying on the superiority of communications to cooperate, and cooperating with each other.

At the end of the one-hour confrontation exercise, the Japanese fleet actually won the victory by only 36 points, and the gap was far less obvious than that of the single-ship confrontation just now. However, Heihachiro Togo and Shinyuki Akiyama once again raised their evaluation of overseas Chinese, it seems that this is the real strength of overseas Chinese, and the results they have achieved in the past are indeed not accidental, if they are given a few years and have excellent warships, they will definitely be able to train an excellent navy, so Japan must not take overseas Chinese lightly, and cooperate with them on the one hand, and guard against them on the other.

Of course, in any case, Japan won the final victory, and the threat of overseas Chinese teams to Japan is in the future, of course, the two sides are still mainly cooperating, so Heihachiro Togo and Mayuki Akiyama are still very satisfied with the results of this military exercise.

And the traverser is also satisfied, because through this naval exercise, it is a very rare quasi-actual combat experience for the current People's Army Navy. Moreover, each confrontation was videotaped, and the battle process was simulated by computer, which can be said to be a huge gain as a material for future research and study.

On the last day, the two sides conducted a review and study of this military exercise, which was the last confrontation between warships. The traversers once again saw the serious and meticulous work attitude of the Japanese, and they had detailed records of every detail of the battle process, such as: when to fire, when to turn, when to hit the opponent, when to be hit by the opponent, and corroborated with the warships they fought with, and tried to ensure the accuracy of the data, while other captains also expressed their opinions and summarized the gains and losses.

Even Sa Zhenbing had to sigh, it seems that in the First Sino-Japanese War, the Beiyang Naval Division lost unjustly. And this review also benefited the traverser a lot, and he had a deeper understanding of naval warfare and warship driving in this era.

After the review, the soldiers of the two sides held another party, then bid farewell to each other, boarded their warships, and returned to their home ports.
