86_86661 The Russian Pacific Second Fleet, which is replenishing in Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam, is confidently preparing to march to Vladivostok Military Port. They www.biquge.info looking forward to a decisive battle with Japan, and the whole world thought it would be a naval battle without suspense.

However, in Chen Zhong's memory, the Battle of Tsushima, which was about to take place in ten days, was a war that shocked the whole world, and the Japanese fleet paid the price of sinking only three torpedo boats, and almost completely annihilated the Russian Second Pacific Fleet.

Just when everyone thought that this was a war of absolute disparity in strength, this strange Battle of Tsushima had a very dramatic result.

The Battle of Tsushima was a naval battle fought between China and Russia in the Tsushima Strait between the Korean Peninsula and Honshu in Japan in the Russo-Japanese War of 1905, in which the combined fleet commanded by Japanese Admiral Heihachiro Togo faced the Russian Second Pacific Fleet under the command of Russian Vice Admiral Rozed Stefansky.

Starting from the Baltic Sea, after 30,000 kilometers of sailing, the Russian Second Fleet entering the Tsushima Strait was ambushed by the Japanese Navy in the Tsushima Strait, 21 of the 38 Russian warships were sunk, 9 were captured, a total of 270,000 tons of ships were lost, 4,830 were killed, and 5,917 were captured; The Japanese lost only 3 torpedo boats, less than 300 tons, 117 killed and 587 wounded. Japan achieved an unprecedented victory, and the Russian fleet was almost completely annihilated.

This is a war with a disparity in strength. Russia's army strength is more than ten times that of Japan, its navy is almost three times larger, its state budget is ten times that of Japan, and Russia's economic strength is almost 20 times that of Japan, considering that half of Japan's state budget is military spending.

Before the Russo-Japanese War began, the Japanese were not prepared for what to do in the event of a defeat, because they had no way to prepare.

If the army loses in Manchuria, it means that the defense of the Japanese mainland can only rely on this small combined fleet, and if the combined fleet loses in the Sea of Japan, it means the destruction of Japan, there is no doubt about it. As a result, Japan is engaged in extremely dangerous gambling with the help of the whole country.

After Chen Zhong took the real leadership of Hainan, he has been actively preparing for the Russo-Japanese War.

Because Chen Zhong knew that if he could defeat Japan in this battle, then he would be able to completely change this period of history, and Japan would not be able to bring so many disasters to China and the world in the coming decades.

Therefore, Chen Zhong set the most ambitious goal at the beginning, to overthrow the rule of the Qing court, expel the power of the foreign powers in China, and participate in the Russo-Japanese War to kill the Japanese first, which is the best breakthrough for his great idea.

As a result, Chen Zhong made great efforts to expand the army, strengthen the army, purchase and produce giant warships, and a large number of network talents.

The time is ripe for this, and although in Chen Zhong's view, Hainan's army has not yet met the ideal requirements, this historical opportunity has already arrived, and it is impossible to wait any longer. Go, fight hard, maybe you will fight your way out.

Moreover, Japan has not had much edge in more than a year of fighting. Although, in history, Japan defeated Russia in this Battle of Tsushima, it was luck! It was a spooky stroke of luck.

However, in front of Chen Zhong, a traverser, the luck of the Japanese fleet was not so good this time. This time, Chen Zhong wants to completely defeat the Japanese army and approach Tokyo!

Chen Zhong once made a comparison of the equipment of Japan and Russia in the Russo-Japanese War. In terms of rifle armament, there is little difference in performance, and the maximum firing range is about 2000 meters.

Machine guns, the Russian army was of the Makqin type, 2 rounds of gun mounts, and the Japanese army was of the Hochkeis type, which was very little equipped at that time.

Artillery, most of the field artillery equipped by the Russian army is new, and it is superior to the Japanese army in terms of range and rate of fire. However, the Japanese army outnumbered the Russian army in the number of equipment of field heavy artillery.

Let's take a look at the battles that have ended.

Comparison of forces in the Battle of Liaoyang, 134,500 Japanese troops, 224,600 against the Russian army, casualties, 23,533 Japanese troops, 15,890 Russian troops.

It can be seen that in the Battle of Liaoyang, Russia had a certain superiority in troops. However, the Russian army, which had lost the will to fight, failed. The Russian army was defeated on morale.

Next, let's take a look at the Lushun Battle.

Army, the Japanese Third Army, commander Nogi Noshinori, the total strength of the army is 130,000. Navy, is the Togo Heihachiro fleet.

The Russian army has a fortress, 223 fortress heavy artillery, 427 other artillery, 62 machine guns, and a total strength of 47,000 people. In Port Arthur there are remnants of the Russian Pacific Fleet.

The result of the war was a complete victory for Japan, the Russian navy and army, all the troops were annihilated, the Japanese casualties were 59,304, the Russian army was captured 39,000, and 8,000~10,000 died.

The Battle of Shahe in September 1904. The total strength of the Japanese army was 120,800 men. There were 123 infantry battalions, 46 cavalry companies, 488 artillery pieces, 12 machine guns, and 24 engineering companies, with 20,497 casualties.

The total strength of the Russian army is 221,600 people, including 249.5 infantry battalions, 137 cavalry companies, 750 artillery pieces, 32 machine guns, and 9 engineer battalions), with 41,346 casualties.

As a result, the Japanese and Russian armies engaged in a tug-of-war. However, in the case of superior forces, the casualties of the Russian army have exceeded that of the Japanese army, indicating that the tactics and quality of the Russian army are inferior to the Japanese army.

In the Battle of Heigoutai, the offensive campaign of the Russian army, but the command was improper, and the opportunity to defeat the Japanese army was lost.

The strength of the Russian army is 105,100 and 11,732 casualties, and the strength of the Japanese army is 53,800 and the casualties are 9,316.

The last army battle in March this year, the Battle of Mukden. This was the largest battle of the Japanese and Russian armies, and it seemed that this battle could determine the final victory. Then the Russian army still has an advantage in strength when the previous losses were not large.

The strength of the Russian army is 309,600, the Japanese army is 249,800, artillery, cavalry, and the Russian army is also superior. However, the Russian army, as before, did not seem to have the confidence of a decisive battle, and retreated north in a hurry after several unsuccessful attacks.

In the imminent Battle of Tsushima, the Japanese won excellent luck with their own efforts and determination to win.

Admiral Heihachiro Togo successfully used the "T-shaped tactics" to successfully realize the "seven-stage tactics", and finally, on the premise of waiting for work, seized the best opportunity to defeat the Russian fleet commanded by a group of incompetent and arrogant generals in one fell swoop.

In a sense, the luck of the Japanese was earned by their all-out efforts, at the mercy of their wildly expanding ambitions.

Because opportunities and luck are not accidental, but snatched up in the traction of constant persistence and strong belief. It was at this point that the Japanese won the victory over Russia.

Therefore, history is about to change completely because of Chen Zhong's Hainan army.

Emperor Meiji, who was in a state of panic in the Edo Imperial Palace at the moment, was about to become a reality in the near future, and the Japanese militarist Oriental Alliance's dream would surely come to naught because of this war.
