"It seems that the overall situation of this battle has been decided, and the Russian fleet has no chance of victory. Seeing that the combined fleet had gradually completed the great turn in front of the enemy, and the golden time of the Russian fleet had completely ended, Shang Jinfeng also made his own conclusions, although the two sides had been fighting for less than 20 minutes at this time.

Han Chao said: "Lao Zhang, I think this video is of great value, it should be preserved, and it should be used as a teaching material for military schools in the future. ”

Zhang Weining shook his head and said: "I think this video is of little value, and it is easy to mislead, Togo Heihachiro's large turn in front of the enemy is a risky move in itself, and it can succeed entirely because the Russian fleet itself is not angry, and it wasted the 'golden time', if the British Navy or the German Navy are replaced, this tactic will not succeed at all, so this tactic is difficult to replicate, and then go there to find an opponent like the Russian fleet." ”

Han Chao said: "Lao Zhang, I don't agree with you, I don't have a good impression of the Japanese, but putting aside the national sentiment and talking about the facts, I admire Togo Heihachiro's hand." I admit that the giant turn in front of the enemy is quite risky, but fighting a war is a risky thing, the classic battles of the past and the present, that one is not won by risk, Han Xin's battle of the backwater, Hannibal's battle of Nikan, and Nelson's Battle of Trafalgar, Han Xin, Hannibal, Nelson was a battle that violated military common sense, but they all won it, so they became famous generals, and the same is true of this battle, and Togo Heihachiro dared to turn around in front of the enemy, perhaps because he knew that his opponent was Russia, and he had a considerable chance of success, if it was against the British or German fleets, Togo Heihachiro might not dare to take such a risk. ”

Zhang Weining wanted to say anything more, Shang Jinfeng had already said: "Okay, okay, let's discuss the tactical matters after this battle is over, now our task is to stare at this battle and prepare to participate in the war, it's okay to talk casually, but don't be distracted." ”

Listening to Shang Jinfeng's words, the two also stopped arguing about the "big turn in front of the enemy", and put their attention back on the screen, at this time the 2nd team of the combined fleet had all completed the turn, although the 2nd team was armored cruisers, equipped with 203 mm main guns, but still greatly increased the firepower of the combined fleet, and the 3rd and 4th teams were about to go around the tail of the Russian fleet, so that the combined fleet could strike at the head and tail of the Russian fleet at the same time.

At this time, the Russian fleet was completely defenseless, and the four Borodino-class battleships had suffered a lot of blows, and the flagship Duke Suvorov seemed to have suffered a lot, and had withdrawn from the battle queue and was headed by Alexander III. And the four battleships at the head of the combined fleet immediately concentrated all their firepower and stormed the Alexander III.

Alexander III was forced to make a sharp turn to the right, and the course was changed from northeast to south-east, but because Alexander III was not the flagship, and the Duke Suvorov withdrew from the battle queue, it did not hang out the banner of "no matter", so it also caused chaos in the Russian fleet, and the Borodino, Eagle, and Oslyabia behind Alexander III all turned with Alexander III, but the Pearl and Emerald did not react and continued to go northeast.

Heihachiro Togo also commanded the Combined Fleet to turn to the right and maintain a suppressive grip on the Russian fleet, so the Pearl and Emerald looked like they were rushing towards the Combined Fleet. Heihachiro Togo apparently mistakenly believed that the Russian fleet intended to send small warships such as the Pearl and the Emerald to launch a daring attack to cover the main warships. This is also a common tactic used by the Navy.

Although the battleship has heavy armor and huge guns, it is also very intimidating in the face of the wolf pack tactics of small warships, because small warships have small targets, fast speed, flexible steering, and are equipped with the big killer torpedo that battleships are most afraid of, so once the battleship is approached by small warships, it will be very dangerous.

At this time, the combined fleet had already gained the upper hand, and of course Heihachiro Togo did not dare to take the risk of playing the big turn in front of the enemy just now, so he immediately ordered the fleet to turn to the left and drive in the northeast direction, temporarily abandon the suppression of the Russian fleet, and ordered the * fleet to come over to help in the battle, and to deal with small warships, it is still the most reliable to use small warships.

However, the Pearl and the Emerald did not raid the Combined Fleet, and after finding that they were in the wrong position, they immediately turned around and returned to the large queue, and at this time, the six warships of the 1st Squadron of the Combined Fleet had already completed their turn and left the battle. At this time, the Russian fleet seized the opportunity of the 1st Squadron of the Combined Fleet to turn around and launched an artillery bombardment, which actually hit two guns of Mikasa and one shot of Fuji, but it did not bring a fatal blow to the two ships.

The commander of the 2nd Sentai Uemura Hikonoki, who followed behind the 1st Sentai Team, judged the situation on the battlefield and believed that at this time the Russian fleet was already moving southeastward under pressure and could not turn left at this time, and that the combined fleet should continue to complete the "T" tactics and maintain the suppression of the Russian fleet. So Uemura gave the order to keep the voyage unchanged and speed up to the head of the Russian fleet, still firmly controlling the position of the "T" cross.

Although the 2 armored cruisers of the 6th Sentai lacked firepower, they were faster, quickly increasing the speed of the ship to 18 knots, continuing to occupy the T-head. And because the distance between the two sides was shortened to about 3,000 meters at this time, the effect of the combined fleet's artillery bombardment became more and more obvious, although the caliber of the main guns of the armored cruiser was small, but the rate of fire was faster, coupled with the advantage of "Shimose *", although it could not penetrate the heavy armor of the Russian ship, but the shells fell on the Russian ship, it would ignite a raging fire, and the threat was also not small. The lead ship of the Russian fleet, Alexander III, was hit by more than 10 shells, and the entire foredeck was on fire, and it was forced to withdraw from the battle sequence.

At this time, although no warships on both sides had been sunk, two of the main warships of the Russian fleet, including the flagship Duke Suvorov, had withdrawn from the battle sequence, and the other main warships were also damaged, while only the flagship Mikasa of the combined fleet was seriously damaged, but it could still participate in the battle, and the other main warships were either slightly injured or intact, and their combat effectiveness was basically not affected.

At this time, Togo Heihachiro realized that his turning order just now was wrong, but fortunately, the 2nd Sentai took the right choice and continued to suppress the Russian fleet, so the overall situation of the battlefield was still favorable to the combined fleet, so Togo Heihachiro hurriedly ordered, and the fleet collectively turned back, although it rushed back to the battlefield. In this way, the 1st Sentai reversed the order, and the armored cruiser Hishin, which had been at the rear of the palace, became the head ship, and the flagship Mikasa became the tail ship, heading west-northwest. However, this is the fastest way to turn, which shows that Heihachiro Togo can still keep a clear head at this time.

However, on the battlefield, the situation changed again, and the 2nd Sentai of the Combined Fleet increased its speed to 18 knots in order to continue to seize the "T" cross, although it continued to maintain the pressure on the Russian fleet and severely damaged the Alexander III, but due to the excessive speed, there was no extreme slowdown, and the result was that it passed in front of the Russian fleet instead.

The Russian fleet finally got a respite, and the leading Borodino immediately turned right, intending to take advantage of this opportunity to break through the interception of the combined fleet in one fell swoop. The 2nd Sentai of the Combined Fleet, realizing that its speed was too fast, actually let go of the Russian fleet, and immediately turned left and turned around, maintaining a single column formation to catch up with the Russian fleet.

At this time, the battle lasted for about one hour, the warships of both sides were out of contact, and the battlefield entered the adjustment time, temporarily calmed down, both sides seized this time, adjusted their ranks, and at the same time stepped up the management of damage, treatment of the wounded, and accumulated strength for the battle for a while.

However, at this time, the battleship Oslyabya of the Russian fleet sank, which was also the first warship to be sunk in this naval battle, and the steering gear and three transmission shafts of the flagship Duke Suvorov were all damaged, and the two main gun turrets were also damaged, basically losing power and combat effectiveness, and could only turn right in place, so it was completely out of the queue. Fortunately, although Alexander III was heavily damaged, its power was undamaged, and it seized this time to extinguish the fire on the foredeck and keep up with the brigade. So the Russian fleet, led by the Borodino, followed by the Eagle and Alexander III, led the other warships to the northeast. But at this time, the 3rd and 4th warframes of the combined fleet caught up and exchanged fire with the cruiser detachment that bit the tail of the Russian fleet, and at this time the Russian fleet had no intention of fighting again, so it could only fight and retreat like this.

The 1st Sentai of the Combined Fleet also took advantage of this opportunity to readjust the line-up, and the Mikasa finally became the lead ship again and continued to lead the fleet in battle. And the discovery of the lone Duke Suvorov was just an opportunity to beat the water dogs. Mikasa first fired at the Duke Suvorov*, but missed, and fired at it again, and at this moment, it was found that the Russian fleet had completed its right turn to the northeast, so Togo Heihachiro immediately decided to abandon the Duke of Suvorov, and also led the fleet to turn north to intercept the Russian fleet.

At this time, the 2nd Sentai of the Combined Fleet also rushed over and joined the 1st Sentai Team, and due to the speed of the 2nd Sentai Team, Heihachiro Togo ordered the 2nd Sentai to chase the front of the Russian Fleet to intercept it, and he led the 1st Sentai to follow.

And the Duke Suvorov can't let go, Bi Jing is also a big fish, but it is handed over to the 4th Destroyer Fleet to deal with, although the 4th Destroyer Fleet only has 4 small ships of 4 and 500 tons, but the Duke Suvorov is unable to move at this time, and basically loses its combat effectiveness, so the 4th Destroyer Fleet is more than enough to deal with the Duke Suvorov.
