readx; Heihachiro Togo walked over, brought a glass of red wine, gave it to Akiyama Shinyuki's hand, patted him and said, "Akiyama Nakasa, have a drink, there are some things that we can't control." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoSince God has arranged such an ending, there must be a reason for him, and there is no need to get along with himself.
Adjust your emotions and return to the state of your fleet's first staff officer. This time the battle was much more complicated than fighting the Russian fleet, and perhaps, the fate of the Japanese Empire was in our hands. Go for it! To hell with those boring worries! ”
Akiyama Shinyuki looked at Heihachiro Togo in front of him, always a taciturn and unfeeling, and when he heard his words today, Akiyama realized that the admiral's heart has actually been suppressing many unknown secrets. Is this the so-called general's demeanor?
"Akiyama Nakasa, we should come to see the rescue of Tokyo this time, I want to ask, how do you fight this rescue operation, our encounter with the Hainan fleet?" Heihachiro Togo asked, pointing to the Tsushima Strait on the map.
When Shinichi Akiyama saw the battle map, it seemed that he was starting to normalize, and he drank the red wine in his hand and thought about it.
For about twenty minutes, Akiyama Shinyuki was silent, and Heihachiro Togo knew that this naval tactical genius had entered his unique thinking again.
Akiyama Shinyuki raised his head and said: "General Togo, this time, to rescue Tokyo, our Japanese fleet is a rush battle, although it is not like the Russian army that travels more than 30,000 miles, but the Hainan fleet is waiting for us in a formation, and we are fighting a passive war. And it's possible to encounter them halfway through. ”
Heihachiro Togo said: "According to the intelligence from the front, it was not the main force of the Hainan Fleet that shelled Tokyo, but only one of their guerrilla formations, and his main force was already waiting for us on the southern side of the Tsushima Strait. ”
"General Dongxiang, did this Hainan fleet destroy the fleet of our West Sea Fleet?"
"Yes, Akiyama Nakasa, you should be sober up, we destroyed the Russian fleet, you are very sad. How do you feel that the Hainan Fleet has destroyed our West Sea Fleet?
Did you know that our young General Ito Kozen was loyal to His Majesty the Emperor in that naval battle, and he was the only son of our great General Ito Yoheki?
War is cruel, you can't be sentimental like a poet, what we need is to defeat the opponent, both for ourselves and for the opponent!
No matter where this war goes, our duty is to carry out the orders and fight every battle! ”
Akiyama Shinyuki was stunned for a moment and said, "Understood, General Togo, I will fulfill my duty as a soldier." ”
Akiyama continued: "Well, General Togo, I think that the Hainan fleet will line up in a horizontal formation to intercept us halfway.
The strength of our fleet's warships is slightly superior to that of the Hainan fleet, and the most important thing is that our fleet is faster.
Then we will create an anti-T-formation and storm the enemy formation. Create multiple T-arrays in the second time. In this way, if our fleet passes through the middle of the Hainan fleet, a cross array will be formed, and our combined fleet can use the artillery on both sides of the ship to attack at the same time, if this is the case, the Hainan fleet, like a long snake, will be cut off by our waist, and I will completely occupy the horizontal head of the T-shaped ship formation, and our Shimose gunpowder can be thrown at the Hainan fleet battleship at this time! ”
After listening to Akiyama Shinyuki's operational concept, Togo Heihachiro nodded and said: "Akiyama Nakasa, you are really a genius in naval tactics, each of your ideas is so different, you are the best staff officer I have ever seen, your talent in naval warfare is extremely rare in this world, if you don't intermittently break your nerves and maintain a stable mood, your future will be brilliant."
Okay, you will immediately make a written battle plan, and I will order your naval battle plan to be carried out! ”
Akiyama said: "The flagship of the First Fleet, the Mikasa, the flagship of the First Sentai Ship, the Nisshin Ship, the flagship of the Second Sentai Iwasute, and the Kasaki Ship, the flagship of the Third Sentai Fleet, are arranged in order as the leading ships to attack the Hainan Fleet.
Then the first sequence is the armored cruiser: Spring Sunrise; Notification ship: Ryuda. Cruisers: Kasaki Chitose Otowa Shintaka Azuma Tsukiwa Yakumo Asama Iwate; Notification Ship: Chihaya is closely behind the four ships.
Next, the second series is the Naniwa ship, the flagship of the fourth Sentai team. Cruisers: Naniwa Takachiho Akashi Tsushima Matsushima Hashitatsusuma Wazumi Chiyoda Akitsuzu ship.
The third sequence is the armored coastal defense ship Zhenyuan, the Fuso ship and the gunboat Chikushitorikai Maya Uji.
The ships at the forefront of the fleet formation chose a combination of ships with fast speed and powerful artillery, which would have a powerful impact on the Hainan fleet formation.
After successfully attacking the enemy's formation, our strategic objective will basically be achieved, and in this case, the enemy's ship formation will be broken into several sections by us, so that a divided siege of the Hainan fleet can be formed, and we will firmly control the dominance of this naval battle. ”
After listening to Mayuki Akiyama's statement, Heihachiro Togo showed a rare smile and said, "Your genius always surprises me, and it's my luck that I can have a combat staff officer like you!" ”
Heihachiro Togo passed down Akiyama Shinyuki's battle plan to each captain, and the Japanese Combined Fleet completed all adjustments according to Akiyama Shinyuki's plan an hour later.
From a distance, the Japanese fleet in the Sea of Japan was like a sharp sword, plunging straight into the Tsushima Strait.
Standing on the deck of the Mikasa, Heihachiro Togo looked through his binoculars at the Tsushima Strait ahead, like two giant pincers with a choke on both sides of the strait, and he ordered the fleet to slow down and approach the strait in the most cautious way.
The intelligence announcement ship in front sent information that the Hainan Fleet had not been found in the Tsushima Strait, so Heihachiro Togo ordered the Japanese Combined Fleet to turn left and turn around at full speed through the Tsushima Strait and sail in the direction of Tokyo.
On the south side of the Tsushima Strait was a much wider area, and he was like a huge black hole on the right side of the fleet, sending a message of fear to Heihachiro Togo, whose instincts of years of conquest told him that the Hainan Fleet was in that deep sea, like a troll that had opened its mouth and was waiting for his arrival.
At this moment, the announcement ship sent a message that the Hainan fleet had been spotted 15,000 meters ahead.
