"I'll rub!" The arrival of the Essen fleet was really extraordinary, the first battleship on the battle line at this moment was swept off the deck for the first time, this time Uemura Hikoyuki learned smartly, the flagship was no longer the first ship in the fleet, but the third ship Yakumo, the Essen fleet drew a circle on the sea, walking in front of the Makanov fleet, and then the hammer composed of the toughest and hardest battleships in the Russian fleet smashed straight on the Asahi armored cruiser. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

From the perspective of Hikonosumi Uemura, the 13,000-ton Asahi armored cruiser is like a flat boat struggling in the storm, countless fires burst continuously on the side chords of the battleship, under the continuous bombardment of large-caliber armor-piercing shells, no matter how strong the steel plate can not withstand it, the huge impact and explosive force are transmitted backwards through the steel plate, and the hardened armor on the outside is still holding on, but the back plate inside has been shattered, and the willow nails connecting the armor plates have also been shattered one by one. Pieces of armor plates came off the hull.

The best defense in the middle of the hull has been beaten like this, not to mention the armor of the guards, thanks to the stability of the explosives, although the Russians' shells are not capped, but the armor-piercing ability is still a little stronger. The 3-inch thick armor belt at the bow and tail of the Yakumo was directly beaten into a honeycomb shape, and the entire bow and tail compartments of the battleship were filled with seawater for fish farming. Although the battleship's armored box should be designed to ensure that the bow and tail of the battleship are lost, it should be able to float on the water, but this time the water intake is on the same side. And there are also ...... of breakage in part of the middle armor box.

"The Asahi is over! Daisa Yoshida is a hero. "Hikonoki Uemura has mixed feelings in his heart. A battleship was shot to death like this, and Uemura's heart was a pain, but if the Asahi was gone, then the remaining armored cruisers would definitely be even worse! In disguise, what the Asahi did saved their lives, at least delayed their defeat.

Just when the three fleets were in a mess, what was the main fleet of Togo doing? Naturally, they continued to happily fight the Russian armored cruisers in the back! In fact, in general, the Russian fleet remained a disadvantage in general. After a long battle, the Makanov fleet was also exhausted, and even with the addition of the Essen fleet, it was still inferior to the opponent in terms of overall size, and the number of Japanese destroyers was too many.

"The most we can do is destroy the Asahi and then we have to think about evacuating, and it is clear that we have lost this battle, and all we can do is to inflict as much damage as possible on the opponent and reduce the losses." Makanov wrote this in his memoirs.

What is the output of the naval battle station pile? Obviously, the Japanese are obviously superior to the Russian fleet in terms of overall projection volume and accuracy, and the Russian fleet has already taken care of Asahi, but at the same time, Togo Heihachiro's fleet also succeeded in killing and wounding the Pearl and Sapphire, which were at the end of Makanov's fleet. The Japanese also went crazy, and more than 30 torpedo boats swarmed up under the cover of the main fleet.

In a curtain of bullets, the last bit of the Russian destroyer was blown to pieces, and in the staggered torpedo array, the Pearl was first destroyed, and then the Sapphire, which had not been taken care of, was also hit in the fish pond, and a torpedo hit the stern of the hull. The violent explosion directly blew two propellers and a rudder into pieces, and it seemed that they could not run.

"Let's go, the Japanese armored cruisers have already been beaten badly, they can't catch up with us, if we continue to fight to the death, it will be all over!" Essen said this in a telegram to Makanov. If the Essen fleet could have arrived yesterday with 4 Rurik-class battleships, then Makanov would really not be afraid of the opponent, but unfortunately, after a few hours late, the meaning would be completely different, and the current Essen fleet can only guarantee that it can save as much as it can.

It's not that the Russians haven't worked hard, and the situation after the effort is already obvious, when the Russian fleet kills one Japanese battleship, the Japanese fleet can kill two Russian fleets! I can figure it out with my knees that if I continue to fight, the Russian fleet will definitely collapse. It was necessary to cripple the Japanese fast fleet, because they were relatively fast and could entangle the Russian fleet and buy time for the main fleet behind. So when the Japanese fast fleet was wiped out, the other half was severely damaged, and these guys were powerless to chase, decisive flashing was king.

After the Asahi floated half-dead on the sea, under the leadership of the Essen fleet, the entire Russian fleet began to break away quickly, and the last destroyers brought by Makanov bravely met at this time, using their lives to fight for a little life for the fleet, but in this case, the Japanese fleet still succeeded in leaving the third armored cruiser behind.

A 12-inch shell landed on the steering gear of the armored cruiser Aurora, and throughout the battle, the Japanese finally fired a human shell. The violently exploding shells temporarily paralyzed the operating system of the entire battleship, although there was still a theoretical manual rudder, but in the case of a strong enemy, the Russians simply did not have time and opportunity! The loss of the capital ships was 3 to 7, and this was the final result of this naval battle. As for the losses of the escort battleships, it was almost 1 to 1, and this was the result of several lightning strikes on the initiative of the Japanese. Although there are capital ships to provide fire cover, but this kind of thing is a fight for life, people only see the grand scene when the destroyers kill the capital ships with a small Bobo, but they do not see more destroyers directly beaten into dogs by heavy artillery......

The remaining Russian fleet began to retreat from the north at full speed, and the Japanese fleet's battleships were about the same speed as the other side, and it was already difficult to catch up, the Russian fleet did not disperse, and it was difficult for them to be attacked even at night after they held together, and the Japanese fleet's destroyer forces were also greatly attributed, and it was impossible to launch a night battle. Heihachiro Togo could only watch the withdrawal of the Russian fleet with a little regret and had nothing to do.

"After this battle, we only have a chance to turn the tables theoretically." Makanov looked at the only 3 remaining battleships behind him and shed tears of grief. Makanov can't be blamed for this battle, in fact, when Prince Ruprecht learned about the situation, he had to exclaim: Makanov, you are really nb. It's much stronger than those pig teammates in history, you know, in the Battle of Tsushima in history, the Russian Second Pacific Fleet was almost wiped out, and Japan didn't lose a single capital ship! Under the blow of the opponent's absolute superiority, Makanov can still save half of the smaller fleet and take away three Japanese battleships by the way, which is definitely a super level of performance, okay!
