The whole sea suddenly became hell, even more terrifying than hell, the sea was dyed red, and the corpses and wreckage of Japanese soldiers were floating everywhere, and people who were desperately crying for help. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoBecause the speed of the ship's sinking was too fast, the personnel on the ship did not rush to escape or transfer, most of the soldiers still sank to the bottom of the sea with the ship, and only a few people could escape the ship in time. The servicemen on the torpedo boats, without even having time to think about it, were directly blown to pieces and shocked to the surrounding sea.

Rear Admiral Shimamura, chief of staff of the fleet, suggested that the fleet immediately stop sailing, and that it should not rush forward, otherwise the losses would be greater, and that torpedo boats should be sent to explore the way first, and then pass through this water area in turn.

Togo Heihachiro did not take this suggestion, if the fleet stopped advancing, and the warships of the Lanfang Kingdom came to attack, then all his warships would become live targets, but ordered all the warships to slow down and prepare for battle, the torpedo boats went to the front to explore the way, and the other cargo ships rescued the people who fell into the water as soon as possible.

The speed of the entire fleet slowed down, and the cargo ships, which were not sunk, began to rescue the servicemen who had fallen overboard.

The soldiers who fell into the water must be rescued, otherwise Togo Heihachiro will be dealt with by military law when he returns to the country.

The entire fleet slowed down, which made the officers and men on the Xinhua-class submarine feel that God had sent them war merits, and the team leader immediately ordered to attack freely. After receiving the order, the submarines began to look for targets, this time they could not blindly launch torpedoes like last time, they had to look for valuable battleships and armored cruisers, and there were not many big guys in Japan this time, and whoever grabbed them would be counted as their merits.

Thanks to the underwater active sonar system, the images of the ships on the sea surface are displayed on the screen, which is very easy to position and attack.

Five minutes later, the staff officer reported the battle damage, a total of 1 battleship was sunk and 1 was seriously damaged, 2 armored cruisers were sunk and 1 was seriously damaged, 11 frigates were sunk, 19 torpedo boats were sunk, 65 other cargo ships were sunk and 4 were seriously damaged, a total of 98 ships were sunk and 6 were seriously damaged, and more ships were sunk one after another.

The sunken battleship was the Mikasa, and the seriously wounded battleship was the Jinen.

The ships that were sunk and seriously injured accounted for a third of the fleet, and this escort was considered a failure, and the frightened Heihachiro Togo sat down on his chair.

But an even greater calamity was about to befall him. Before Heihachiro Togo could react from the shock, he only heard an explosion in front of him, and the rear butt of the battleship Asahi was lifted high off the water, the propeller was blown away, and the propeller was broken; At this time, there was a loud "boom" on the left, and it was the battleship Kashima that was attacked, and although I couldn't see the part of the attack, I knew that the injury must be serious just by listening to the sound.

Before a telegram could be sent asking about the damage to the Kashima and Zhenyuan, two more explosions were heard behind them, and two armored cruisers were attacked.

No wonder the old boy Heihachiro Togo was lucky, this time his luck was as good as ever, and his flagship battleship Katori was not hit.

The Kashima, which was ridden by Army Commander Admiral Kuroki Weizhen, was seriously damaged, and although the battleship was saved with the efforts of damage management, the speed was affected due to too much water.

At the same time, the staff headquarters on Miyako Island, where Zhang Wei was located, also received a telegram that the submarine was about to attack.

Li Zhaoshui said: "Your Majesty, now that the war is about to begin, you can release all the warships." ”

"Okay, this time it's under your full command, even if you say it, in order not to affect your command, I won't follow you to participate in the battle."

Came to the beach, boarded the Xinhua-class torpedo boat, sailed in the direction of the battlefield, and after sailing out of 2 kilometers, entered the deep water area, Zhang Wei began to release the battleships and battle cruisers from the system in order.

It was about 25 kilometers from the place where the warships were released to the battlefield, and after Zhang Wei released all the warships, he sent Li Zhaoshui and his command team to the No. 1 battleship, and Zhang Wei returned to the sea.

Li Zhaoshui's tactics were very simple, that is, to crush the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy with absolute strength, he divided all the warships into two parts, the first part was the battleship formation, which was personally commanded by himself, and he had to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese battleships and armored cruisers, including 9 battleships and 5 battlecruisers, and 30 destroyers and 30 torpedo boats were responsible for covering the vicinity, and the fleet lined up and sailed directly to the north, inserting into the rear of the Japanese combined fleet, cutting off their way back, And was responsible for sinking all the battleships and armored cruisers.

The second part is the battle cruiser formation, which is under the command of Zhang Hailong, a special staff officer of the Navy, including 4 battle cruisers, 40 destroyers, and 40 torpedo boats, lined up in a line, heading northwest, with the purpose of blocking the advance of the Japanese fleet, and responsible for sinking the warships and all the cargo ships in the front, this time not to take prisoners, and not to accept surrender. Exactly 10 destroyers and 10 torpedo boats per battlecruiser could act separately at critical times.

At half past 12, the Japanese fleet had already entered the range of the battleship formation of the Lanfang Kingdom, and Li Zhaoshui ordered the battlecruisers to fire freely and strike at the Japanese battleships at the fastest speed; The battleship carried out a salvo under the command of the central firing command system.

Since all battleships are equipped with a new range-finding system and a central command system, the rate of fire will be reduced if a salvo is fired, but the hit rate will be increased by more than 6 times.

At this time, the two fleets were 15 kilometers apart, and the observers of the combined fleet also discovered the battleship fleet of the Ranfang Kingdom and immediately reported it to Heihachiro Togo. Togo Heihachiro saw through the telescope that the battleship formation of the Lanfang Kingdom was coming, the huge hull, the rows of main guns, it was intimidating to look at, and the number of battleships was even more, there were 14 capital ships, as well as a huge number of destroyers and torpedo boats, it seemed that the defeat of the Japanese Navy was decided.

Only then did he suddenly wake up, isn't this the classic tactic of the Lanfang Kingdom? First, set up mines where the opponent must pass, and then send the navy to fight a decisive battle after the opponent's strength is damaged. Why didn't you remember it just now? It's because of the inherent thinking that the Lanfang Kingdom doesn't have battleships and battle cruisers, and its own fleet is injured, and it's not something that destroyers can contend with, so it doesn't think in that direction, and it's too late to say anything now.

In order not to be completely annihilated, Togo Heihachiro ordered that the battleships and armored cruisers stay behind to block the enemy, and the rest of the ships break through alone, and if they can go out, count a few, or they will be completely annihilated like the British Far East Fleet, as for the battleships and armored cruisers, they must be the main targets of the Lanfang Kingdom's navy, and the speed of the wheels is not as good as the battleships and battlecruisers of the Lanfang Kingdom, since they can't escape, it is better to fight with the Lanfang Kingdom's navy, and they can also create conditions for the escape of other ships.

At this moment, the Japanese warships and cargo ships began to break through in all directions, and because they all wanted to seize the way and escape, there were several cargo ships colliding with each other. However, most of the fleeing directions chose the port of Shanghai in the west and northwest or retreated to the direction of the Korean Peninsula; Keelung Port is not able to go; The southeast direction is the direction from which the fleet of the Lanfang Kingdom came, and if it breaks through in the southeast direction, it will just hit the muzzle; Naha Port is also not successful, and the battleship fleet of the Ranfang Kingdom is heading in that direction, just cutting off everyone's retreat.

On the meter, the battleships and battlecruisers of the Lanfang Kingdom began to open fire.

Seeing the Japanese fleet fleeing, Li Zhaoshui ordered each battleship to keep an eye on a battleship or armored cruiser until it was sunk; The Lanfang-class battle cruisers took half of the destroyers and torpedo boats, pursued the fleeing cargo ships and other Japanese warships, and whether the other side surrendered or not, there was no time to watch them now, so if they sank it first, they would not have to be guarded.

Of the Japanese battleships at present, only the battleships Katori and Hizen are intact; The Asahi lost power and was a fixed target when anchored at sea; The Zhenyuan and Kashima were seriously injured and had difficulty moving; Of the armored cruisers, 2 have already sunk, 3 more are seriously damaged, and 3 more are intact.

At this time, it showed the difference in the personalities of the captains, and everyone consciously left the Katori battleship to the No. 1 battleship that Li Zhaoshui was riding; The remaining 8 battleships faced the 10 Japanese battleships, some captains chose to attack the weak ones first, first aiming their guns at the Asahi battleship, some captains liked to hit the strong ones first, and aimed their guns at the Kashima, which was incapacitated, and some followed the crowd and randomly chose a battleship that no one attacked; However, no one went to attack the Zhenyuan.

9 battleships fired a salvo, the scene was very spectacular, 10 main guns, spewing out 10 groups of fire, thick smoke billowing on the ship, 9 battleships had 90 main guns, the number was several times that of the Japanese main guns, and the maximum caliber of the main guns of the Japanese armored cruisers was only doubled, and they could only be beaten passively in front of the Lanfang-class battleships.

The Katori battleship that fought against Li Zhaoshui was the most advanced battleship in Japan, equipped with two twin guns, at a distance of meters, the Katori was a little powerless, the hit rate was pitiful, the shells were fired, and the deviation was too far, and the Lanfang-class battleship equipped with a central fire control system could still deal with the Katori battleship at this distance; The first salvo exploded 200 meters in front of the battleship Katori, causing a shocking column of water;

The second salvo formed a cross-border, which made Togo Heihachiro break out in a cold sweat, and he could shoot across the border at such a distance, which showed that there was still room for range;

In the third salvo, two shells hit the Katori, one hit the bow of the ship, blowing up a large part of the bow, and one hit the area of the side side gun, killing officers and men of the Navy for dozens of meters, and scrapping 3 auxiliary guns;

The fourth salvo, missed;

In the fifth salvo, two more shells hit the Katori, one hit the chimney, the chimney fell and smashed on a secondary gun, and the other hit the side waterline, tearing out a large hole directly 3 meters, the sea water began to pour in wildly, and the hull began to tilt;

The sixth salvo missed;

In the seventh salvo, one shell hit the opponent's main turret, causing 2 main guns to be scrapped;

The eighth salvo hit the command tower and killed all the people inside, and of course, Heihachiro Togo also died;

Li Zhaoshui didn't know that Heihachiro Togo was dead, and continued to fire, firing the tenth salvo, 3 shells hit the Katori, and completely sent it to the bottom of the sea.

By the time Li Zhaoshui's flagship finished the battle, the other battleships had already finished fighting. The latest battleships, and equipped with a central artillery fire control system, to fight Japan's old battleships and armored cruisers, and several of them have been seriously damaged, whether it is the number of main guns, caliber, warp, range, rate of fire, hit rate and other parameters can not be compared with the Lanfang-class battleships, and there is not much difference from hitting fixed targets, and the battle ended without more than 10 salvos.

Now only the Zhenyuan has not been sunk, but the white flag has been raised, everyone can't make up their minds, waiting for Li Zhaoshui's instructions, Li Zhaoshui feels that the Zhenyuan is still commemorative, so he ordered to accept the surrender of the Japanese army.

At this point, all the capital ships of the Japanese Combined Fleet were sunk except for the surrender of Zhenyuan, and the battleship Heihachiro Togo sank to the bottom with the battleship Katori; The commander of the army, Admiral Kuroki Kosaki, sank to the bottom with the battleship Kashima.

As for the Japanese troop carriers and baggage cargo ships, none of them were able to escape, and these cargo ships were too slow compared to the speed of the Lanfang-class battlecruisers, destroyers, and torpedo boats. Zhang Hailong, chief of staff of the Second Fleet, divided the fleet into four detachments, each with one Lanfang-class battle cruiser as the flagship, and pursued the fleeing Japanese cargo ships and some small warships respectively. The sea water in September is not too cold, if there is no rescue, the Japanese army floating on the sea, the chance of survival is very small, and as long as the navy on the Lanfang warship sees that there are still living Japanese on the sea, then directly machine gun service, this is to learn from the Japanese, they were this kind of behavior when they were in the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, this is called to treat others in the way of others.

In the end, only a few small torpedo boats escaped to the port of Naha, and all other frigates, torpedo boats, and cargo ships were sunk.

At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the entire naval battle ended, and Li Zhaoshui immediately sent a telegram to Zhang Wei to report the results of the battle.

Zhang Wei received the telegram, why did he feel that it took so long?

However, he still ordered the telegraph operator to inform Lu Weimin and Chung Daoyou of the news of the total annihilation of the Japanese Combined Fleet and more than 90,000 Japanese troops, and asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to issue a telegram to the whole world, so that as many Chinese in the world as possible could share the joy of victory, and it was also a warning to certain countries with bad ideas.
