He watched as the Japanese Combined Fleet finally and effectively completed the battle plan they had formulated, and he felt his hands tremble at this moment.

After seeing Commander Togo's hand, Officer Koizumi's guard asked with concern, "Your Excellency, Commander, what is wrong with you?" ā€

Heihachiro Togo tried his best to adjust his emotions, and then he said: "It's a little cold." ā€

Koizumi looked at Togo Heihachiro's face was full of sweat, looked at this strange dwarf winter melon suspiciously, and wanted to say something more, Togo Heihachiro said: "Koizumi, don't tell others, I'm trembling nervously." To tell the truth, when we first turned around, I wasn't afraid, even in the process of turning again, I didn't have the slightest fear, but at this moment, I actually trembled with fear, after all, the fate of the empire is closely related to this battle! ā€

Koizumi took a towel and wiped the sweat on his forehead for Togo Heihachiro, he saw the white hair on Togo Heihachiro's sideburns, and said with some trembling: "General, you have more gray hair." ā€

Heihachiro Togo smiled bitterly and said, "The honor of the empire is supreme, and we should go all out and fight for the emperor's will!" ā€

Heihachiro Togo asked Mayuki Akiyama beside him: "Akiyama-kun, what are the casualties of our fleet in this first round of attacks?" ā€

Akiyama Shinji: "Admiral Togo, in the course of this U-shaped turn of our Japanese naval fleet, the Russian fleet damaged the two armored cruisers "Izumo" and "Asama" of our combined fleet, and there was no great loss in the rest.

I really didn't expect that the Russian army's artillery hit rate was so substandard. This is really a great blessing for our army. At this stage, our army has always been in the passive stage, if it were not for their low hit rate, our fleet would definitely suffer greater losses, and our luck is still very good! ā€

After listening to Mayuki Akiyama's report, Heihachiro Togo closed his eyes and silently recited a few words, and then looked at the fierce battle in front of him.

Mayuki Akiyama said, "Your Excellency, Commander, are you praying?" ā€

Heihachiro Togo smiled and said, "I didn't pray, I just told myself that I had escaped again!" ā€

Akiyama Mayuki looked at Heihachiro Togo blankly, and muttered in his heart: "It's difficult, you're gambling every time!" ā€

Togo Heihachiro's mood gradually relaxed a lot, because he knew that the ships of the Japanese fleet were higher than the speed of the Russian fleet, and the rate of fire of the artillery and the power of artillery ammunition were obviously superior to the Russian army.

Therefore, after the Japanese fleet successfully turned, it would gradually occupy the initiative on the battlefield.

As a result, Heihachiro Togo ordered to strike the flagship of the Russian fleet "Duke Suvorov" with the heaviest artillery fire.

After the flagship of the Russian fleet "Duke Suvorov" was hit by concentrated and heavy fire from Japanese artillery, Vice Admiral Rozdvensky, who was on the ship, was also wounded himself, with injuries to his head, back and feet, and the soldiers moved him to the conning tower, at this time Vice Admiral Rozhdvinsky had fallen into a coma, and the "Duke Suvorov", whose entire superstructure had been destroyed, was forced to withdraw from the battle column and float on the sea.

This time, the Japanese army used the improved Shimose gunpowder, which greatly increased its lethality, and coupled with the accurate hit rate, the Russian ships suffered heavy losses. The Russian army has entered a state of extreme chaos.

Immediately afterwards, the Osilijabia was also attacked by heavy Japanese artillery fire, the rudder was broken, the warship lost control, and finally sank due to severe damage.

So, Heihachiro Togo gave the order to look for the main battleship of the Russian fleet and find an opportunity to annihilate. Attack the cruisers, destroyers and supply ships of the Russian fleet with all their might.

The decisive battle in the Sea of Japan reached the second stage of the battle plan drawn up by Heihachiro Togo.

Immediately afterwards, the battleships "Alexander III", "Borodino", "Eagle", and "Sisoy-Viliki", which were without the unified command of the flagship, were also heavily damaged.

At this moment, the Hainan Fleet, which had already entered the southern part of Kyushu Island, was also informed by the Japanese Naval Warfare.

Chen Fangzheng came to Chen Zhong's side and said: "Lord Wang, your judgment is right, the Japanese army is really right, they basically seized the initiative in this war, the flagship of the Russian army" Duke Suvorov 'has withdrawn from the battle sequence, Vice Admiral Rozdvinsky has also been injured, the Russian fleet in front of you has fallen into a state of chaos without unified command, it is a pity, the Pacific Fleet, which has always been huge, will soon withdraw from the stage of history." ā€

"Some things have been put there for a long time, but some people don't want to believe it! The commander of the Russian fleet had serious psychological problems, and his whole life was perhaps destined to be a tragedy. Character determines a person's fate, this is a truth! Chen Zhong said with regret.

Chen Fangzheng continued to ask: "Lord Wang, this time, the Japanese army has used telegraph communication technology, and they can use this technical means more quickly, but the Russian fleet has not used this equipment, and it seems that the Russian fleet is only famous under the halo of the past." Now it seems that it is just a rabble, and Togo Heihachiro is just lucky to have met such a fleet. ā€

"General Chen Fangzheng, in two days, we will have a decisive battle with this extremely lucky war gambler here, are you and your fleet confident?" Chen Zhong looked at Chen Fangzheng and asked.

"Lord Wang, this time, if the Japanese army destroys the Russian fleet, in fact, it is equivalent to cleaning up an enemy for us, and we will take this opportunity to kill little Japan, then our northward anti-Japanese attack will really change the situation in the entire Northeast Asia as you said.

So, rest assured, Lord Wang, this time, in the decisive battle with the Japanese army, we will destroy them in the same way that the Japanese army destroyed the Russian fleet. Let them know that sometimes, not every good fortune will come to Heihachiro Togo! Chen Fangzheng looked at the sea dyed red by the sunset, he seemed to see the scene of the upcoming decisive battle against the Japanese army, and he seemed to see the Japanese fleet that had been beaten and fallen into the water, which disappeared in the artillery fire of the Hainan fleet.

At this time, the Sea of Japan was a sea of fire, and while Heihachiro Togo ordered the battleships to engage in battle, the cruisers of the Japanese Combined Fleet began to launch fierce attacks on the cruisers of the Russian army.

After nearly two hours of fierce attack, the Japanese fleet completely controlled the initiative in the decisive battle in the Sea of Japan, the defeat of the Russian fleet was decided, the shipping route to Vladivostok was also blocked by the Japanese army, the Japanese Sea was full of artillery fire, the smoke was foggy, the routes of the two armies were chaotic, and the two sides began a melee.
