Stark, the deputy commander of the Pacific Fleet of the Hubei Army, who is the de facto commander of the Pacific Fleet, is standing on the bridge of the flagship battleship Retvizhan, using a telescope to observe the front WWwlā?・?

After putting down the binoculars, he shook his head from the perspective of God and said, "The yellow-skinned monkeys are really cruel, they slaughtered tens of thousands of people on the sea!" ”

Stark selectively forgot that his great Oros Empire had killed and exterminated countless tribes in order to control tens of millions of square kilometers of Siberia, and that the Qing court had slaughtered all the Chinese in the Oros control area, along with the ethnic groups of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, when the Qing court was not very weak.

In order to carry out the great responsibility of civilized people to save the dead and help the wounded, Stark mercifully left five old gunboats behind to salvage the Hubei and Japanese troops who had fallen into the water.

But with the heads of people and the sound of cries for help on the sea, where can these five gunboats with a displacement of less than 1,000 tons be busy?

However, these Oros still have a very good way, and the captains of several gunboats all ordered that their gunboats only save the Oros who fell on the sea, and as for those Japanese people, let's save the noble Oros first!

As a result, these five gunboats were busy for a day, and after one night, the next day, during the day, they only went to save the Oros, and those Japanese people swam desperately over, clinging to the Huro warships and rescue sampans, wailing that the Huns would save them.

The order of the captain of the Hubei army was soon down, if the annoying yellow-skinned monkey dared to cling to the small sampan of the rescue, immediately used rifle bullets to serve, and killed all these widows, no one would come to rob the Oros of rescue resources.

As a result, there were still many living Japanese soldiers on the sea, but under the guns of the noble Oros, most of them were killed, and those who were not killed were also eaten alive by sharks that smelled blood.

For the first time in hundreds of millions of years, sharks in this area have eaten so much that it was later discovered that many sharks in this area were exhausted to death because they were too full.

The "humanitarian" rescue organized by the Hubei army was only a small episode, and the real highlight was the decisive battle between the Pacific Fleet of the Hubei Army and the Huaxia Army Fleet.

After seeing the appearance of the Hubei Pacific Fleet, Geng Huoyan immediately ordered all the warships to retreat south slowly, and from time to time turned back to fire one or two cannons and fired one or two torpedoes at the Hubei fleet from a distance to provoke them.

In fact, this kind of provocation and temptation is completely superfluous.

Stark is a close confidant of Alekseev, and in many opinions, they all wear the same pants, they have never fought with the Chinese Navy, they don't know how powerful the Chinese Army is, and they are bent on how to take advantage of the large-scale exercises of the British, French, and German fleets in the Strait of Malacca and the South China Sea to attract more than half of China's naval forces, and annihilate the Chinese Fleet in East Asia in one fell swoop. ・

With this mentality, Stark commanded the Pacific Fleet to drive to the fleet's maximum speed of 17 knots and chase southward.

Geng Huoyan was startled by this frantic pursuit, and quickly ordered the fleet to increase the speed to 18 knots, pretending to be gray and fleeing south.

"The main battleship of these yellow-skinned monkeys must be not far from here, chase, I want to catch up!" Stark was out of the way this time, he made up his mind, if he couldn't find the main fleet of the Huaxia Army, he would command the Pacific Fleet to shell Lushun, shell Weihai, and even go deep into the Bohai Sea to shell Tianjin, directly threatening the capital of the Huaxia Empire, so he was afraid that the main fleet of the Huaxia Army would not appear?

This does not need Stark's brains, Hu Zhen has already prepared the burial place for Stark and the Pacific Fleet - the Tsushima Strait.

The reasons why Hu Zhen and the Pacific Fleet chose to be in the Tsushima Strait are:

First, it can keep the Pacific Fleet away from the Vladivostok base, and it is not easy to obtain supplies and support from Vladivostok; second, it can make the Pacific Fleet fatigue the battleship's machinery and sailors and crews during the high-speed voyage of more than 20 hours; third, the sea conditions in the Tsushima Strait, after the defeat of the Hubei army, there are not many options to escape, so that the main Chinese fleet can pursue and annihilate them; fourth, the Tsushima Strait is not very far from the Jeju Island, Kagoshima, and Weihai bases controlled by the Huaxia Army, so that it is convenient to provide support in a timely manner.

Stark didn't know this, at the moment he was full of how to annihilate the main fleet of the Huaxia Army, whether to go south to the South China Sea to annihilate other warships in Huaxia, or to take advantage of the victory to advance westward and bombard Tianjin to threaten the capital of the Huaxia Empire.

Along the way, Geng Huoyan, who was worried that he would not be able to complete the lure mission, stood on the deck and personally used high-powered binoculars to stare at the Pacific Fleet, fearing that it would suddenly stop or change course, but when it got dark, he found that his own worries were completely unnecessary.

After nightfall, the Pacific Fleet continued the pursuit with searchlights.

Looking at the sea and sky surrounded by black holes, Geng Huoyan had a new idea: "If we blindly escape, it will arouse the suspicion of the enemy, we must take advantage of the darkness to give full play to the short, flat and fast advantages of cruisers and destroyers, and only by beating it can we play the scene more realistically!" ”

As a result, ten cruisers continued to rush south in front, but twelve destroyers quietly dispersed behind the Pacific Fleet, waiting for an opportunity to launch a torpedo attack.

The Pacific Fleet, which was hurrying away, did not relax its vigilance on both sides, and the destroyers of the Huaxia Army attracted attention as soon as they were dispatched.

The Hubei warships on both flanks first opened fire on the destroyers of the Huaxia Army, and the Huaxia Army did not show weakness, retaliated with heavy artillery fire, and fired torpedoes to attack the Pacific Fleet.

In the dark, Geng Huoyan also commanded all ten cruisers to turn around and fire fiercely at the Pacific Fleet.

Enraged, Stark ordered the large-caliber heavy guns on the capital ship to open heavy fire to expel these hateful little flies.

Sure enough, as soon as the Hubei army opened fire, the cruisers of the Huaxia Army were dumbfounded, but those little fly destroyers still took advantage of the dark night to rush over from time to time to shoot a shot or two.

This small ship can only be fired back by a small ship.

However, in the dark of night, the harassing shelling by both sides did not achieve much success, and the torpedo attack at a distance of two or three thousand meters was even more unreliable, and after the torpedo was launched, no one knew where the torpedo had wandered.

But this tiring battle began at nightfall and continued until dawn.

As a result of the night's fighting, only three unlucky destroyers of the Hubei army received a few shells, killing two and wounding 14 others, while the Chinese army also had two destroyers with several shells and nine wounded.

It was a battle with no result, and Vice Admiral Stark knew that this would be the case, and he very calmly ordered the officers and men of the main battleship to take turns to rest in peace, so as to prepare for a greater battle during the day.

But the incessant explosions and harassment attacks all night long, except for a few god-level people who could sleep, most of the Hubei troops couldn't sleep, and they all felt dizzy the next day.

By dawn, the Tsushima Strait was already in sight.
