The face of the child in June, said to change, the whole northeast, the morning is still sunny and sunny, this just in the afternoon, in the blink of an eye, the clouds are thick, lightning and thunder, and it is pouring rain, this is only a moment, the sun shows a smiling face.

The weather in June, just like the Russo-Japanese War at that time, no one knows who will win in the end, the outcome is unpredictable, the battle of Mukden, the Russian army that won a tragic victory has to do more rest in the future, the Second Pacific Fleet on this side and the opposite side of the Dongxiang Fleet to work at ease exchanged fire, the result of successive defeats, the last battle, the Russian army was annihilated.

Immediately afterwards, the Battle of Tsushima finally arrived, and at the same time, He Tianci also got the news, this is the long-awaited news! Fortunately, the war did not change with the wings of his butterfly, and the battle was still a great victory over the Russian army by the Japanese Navy led by Heihachiro Togo.

This is undoubtedly unfavorable to the Qing Empire and himself, with what Tianci thinks at this time, how much he hopes that both sides would better win a crushing victory, or die together, but he can only think about it.

And this war has to start from the end of May!

On the night of May 26, 1905, the Russian fleet passed through the first Japanese maritime cordon.

The Japanese reconnaissance ship carried out uninterrupted tracking and monitoring from a long distance, and promptly reported the situation to Dongxiang by radio.

As a result, Togo knew the strength, course, speed, and formation of the Russian fleet well. This also shows that the little devil uses the Chinese Art of War well, and knows the truth that knowing oneself and knowing the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

The war was undoubtedly full of uncertainty and suddenness, and the clumsy Russians undoubtedly gave the Japanese a chance by exposing their intentions and strength to the enemy.

In addition, the Japanese side is waiting for work at ease and has flexible deployment, so basically the balance of victory and defeat between the two sides is already tilting towards the Japanese side.

On the morning of the 27th, the Russian governor Rozhdestvinsky was the first to discover the movements of the Japanese sentinel and was very nervous. At that time, the Russian fleet was formed in rows: the 1st and 2nd Panzer Ships were on the right flank, the 3rd Panzer Group and the cruiser Group were on the left flank, and the transport fleet was in the center.

After 11 o'clock, Rozhdestvinsky ordered the fleet to form a battle formation: the two brigades on the right flank moved closer to the left and drove in front of the 3rd group on the left flank, and the whole fleet formed a single row (column).

At this time, due to the different speeds of each ship, the captain did not clearly stipulate the slow acceleration and the fast deceleration, which caused great confusion.

At about 12 o'clock, this Rozhdestwinsky finally felt that his opportunity was coming, and he was a little excited in his heart, blindly judging that the Japanese fleet was very likely to attack him in a horizontal formation.

Therefore, he ordered the Russian fleet to form a horizontal formation.

So the fleet began to perform complex maneuvers.

After all, Rozhdestvinsky still had some mind, and at this time he was afraid that his battle formation would be discovered by the enemy too soon, so he ordered the whole fleet to resume its marching formation, but he did not expect that due to the suddenness of his order, the fleet suddenly appeared in chaos.

In the comprehensive Russo-Japanese War, whether in the army or navy, in fact, Tsarist Russia had a great advantage, but it was because of the rotten generals of these nobles and the chaotic command of Tsarist Russia, which led to frequent defeats in the war, so in the entire Russo-Japanese War, Tsarist Russia's opponent itself was not the Japanese army, but its own decay. Of course, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army should not be underestimated, after all, the fighting consciousness and military quality He Tianci can see with his own eyes.

At about 13:40, the main force of the Togo fleet appeared in front of the right, in a single row, in an attempt to cut off the course of the Russian fleet. Before the battle, Togo sent a signal to the whole fleet: "The imperial kingdom is rising and falling, and you must work hard in this battle." ”

At this time, the Russian commander "Rozhdestvinsky" had also discovered his own problems, but when he ordered to form a battle formation again, it was too late.

Togo cut off the course of the Russian fleet and made a left turn in the sea area 35~38 chains away from the enemy, drawing a "U" shape (called "the great turn in front of the enemy" in Japanese war history). At the turn of the corner, the Japanese fleet was under the threat of fire from Russian ships, and a considerable part of the ships could not return fire (the line of sight and the firing range were obscured by their own ships).

This action was unconventional in naval tactics at the time, but it was a successful maneuver due to the proper grasp of the fighters.

It so happened that at this time the Russian fleet was in the confusion of changing formations, and although Rozhdestvensky gave the order to open fire, the result was blind shooting, followed by a waste of ammunition, and at the same time the loss of fighters.

Half an hour after the start of the naval battle, Rozhdestvinsky's flagship "Suvorov" was forced to withdraw from the battle, and Rozhdestvensky himself was seriously wounded (later captured and surrendered). Several other flagships were also sunk and damaged. The Russian fleet lost command and fell into chaos.

The Russian fleet tried to get rid of the enemy ships that were intercepted, but because of the slow speed, they did not succeed. The Japanese ships, on the other hand, gave full play to their fast speed, maneuvered quickly, occupied a favorable position in the direction of the advance of the Russian fleet, and bombarded them fiercely. The two sides engaged in a scuffle in the smoke. The Russian ship was sunk and damaged a number of them.

At about 16 o'clock, fog rose on the sea, and the Togo armored fleet disengaged from the Russian armored fleet for a time, and Togo moved north. But the Japanese and Russian cruisers were engaged in a fierce battle in the southerly seas. At half past 18, the Russian armored fleet sailed to the sea area to participate in the battle. Only by this time did Nebogatov take command and order the fleet to continue northward.

That night, Togo dispatched 37 torpedo boats and 21 destroyers to torpedo the remnants of the Russian fleet. At about 5 o'clock in the morning of the 28th, Nebogatov led the few remaining ships to escape in the direction of Vladivostok.

At about 9 o'clock, he was besieged by the Japanese fleet, and Nebogatov first hoisted the white flag and then the Japanese flag and surrendered.

In this naval battle, the Russian 2nd and 3rd Pacific fleets were wiped out (including sunk, captured, and detained by neutral countries) except for three ships that fled to Vladivostok, and the total loss of ships amounted to 270,000 tons (larger than the total losses of both sides in the famous Battle of Jutland in World War I). 4,830 people were killed and 5,917 were captured (not including those wounded and detained in foreign ports). The Japanese side lost only 3 torpedo boats, with only 117 killed and 587 wounded.

Of course, the beginning of this naval battle doomed the defeat of the Russian old Maozi, first of all, the Second Pacific Fleet was simply a temporary fleet, that is, it was composed of the Baltic Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet. This hastily formed fleet, people went to sea while installing parts, and did not form a certain overall combat effectiveness.

In fact, one of the most important factors in this war is one person!
