Far away in the East China Sea, there is a war that can be seen here, but there are countless wars that are not visible in other places outside of this war, not only in Japan, but also in Japan and other places, and there are also different wars being fought in different ways.

But no matter which aspect of the war, it is the Chinese Empire that has the upper hand, although on the surface it seems to be a little difficult to accept, but if you study it carefully, you will find that this result is completely reasonable.

The Chinese Empire is currently the only country in the world that has a professional espionage department, and all the spies have undergone different levels of professional skills training, and in terms of the quality of spies, they are far superior to other countries, and a complete set of systems, as well as the performance of deep pockets, will not make people regard them as espionage organizations in the slightest.

It is precisely because Wang Sirui is very aware of the role that intelligence warfare will play in future wars, so he will set up the army's intelligence agency shortly after returning from the crossover, and then slowly evolve into an all-round intelligence agency. Even when there is a shortage of money everywhere in the country, the funds of the Security Bureau have never been cut by a penny, and they are increasing at least twice the growth rate every year; under such circumstances, the rapid growth of the espionage department is also purely normal, and in addition, China has no shortage of training materials for spies, and in the course of thousands of years of history, the Chinese have long summed up a set of their own intelligence theories and skills, which is an incomparable advantage of other countries.

On the sea, the main fleet, which had been pursuing for two hours, finally caught up with the Japanese Combined Fleet, but unfortunately, the sky had already darkened, not to mention the figure of the Japanese Combined Fleet, even the black smoke in the air was difficult to see, but according to what they saw not long ago, everyone knew that the Japanese Combined Fleet was not far in front of them.

But where are they? This is a headache, there are no night vision devices in this era, and the night is a disaster for anyone, and it must be dealt with carefully.

And after entering the night, the speed of the Japanese combined fleet also slowed down, but at this time they were not worried that the Chinese navy behind them would catch up, because they could not see, plus the Japanese combined fleet carried out light control, as long as the speed was slower and more attention, it was easy to get rid of the pursuit of the Chinese.

And if the Chinese also implement light control, then their speed will also be reduced, if there is no light control, then the possibility of discovering the Japanese combined fleet will indeed increase, but it is also equivalent to putting themselves in the open, the Japanese combined fleet can see their position from a long distance, and then avoid it in advance.

It wasn't until after nightfall that Togo Heihachiro breathed a sigh of relief, they had changed course, and although they were getting farther and farther away from the Japanese mainland, they were getting safer and safer, and if everything went well, then they should be able to reach the Kagoshima military port by dark tomorrow.

In any case, Togo Heihachiro finally saved the main warship of the Combined Fleet, as for those torpedo boats, there was no way to do this, and Togo Heihachiro was also ready to accept punishment.

But the only thing that Togo Heihachiro couldn't let go of was the transport ship formation, although there was a former dreadnought Shikishima and several other cruisers protecting it, but the size of the transport ship formation was too large, and if the Chinese wanted to attack, they would not be able to dodge it at all.

But if there is a problem in the army, then Togo Heihachiro will not just be transferred to the reserve, calculate the time, and the troop carrier should almost arrive in Okinawa, right? But Heihachiro Togo was sure that there must be a Chinese navy lurking around the transport ship formation, and what if they took advantage of the night to lay mines on the fairway? What if they suddenly attack while the warship is demining?

Then prepare for the worst, what if the troop carrier is sunk?

As soon as he thought of this problem, Togo Heihachiro felt a pain in the face, the discord between the sea and the land and sea armies had existed since the Meiji Restoration, and the emperor had no intention of solving this problem, but if their main fleet ran away and the army suffered in the end, then even the emperor would find it difficult to forgive him.

Heihachiro Togo instantly realized that he had made a big mistake at the beginning of the war, when he should have ordered the transport ship formation to return to the mainland, instead of going to Okinawa. If they were able to enter the harbor before dark and go ashore, then everything would be fine, but according to the speed of the transport ship formation, at most they would have just arrived near Okinawa, and it would be impossible to go ashore.

At that time, in his opinion, there was no problem for the Combined Fleet to defeat the Chinese Navy, although they had the burden of troop carriers, as long as they took away the enemy's main force and defeated them, then the troop carriers were temporarily diverted to Okinawa, and the right was spent overnight in Okinawa, and the impact was not great.

But all this was based on the premise that the combined fleet would be able to defeat the main forces of the Chinese Navy, but now, instead of defeating their opponents, they themselves suffered heavy losses, and this result was not expected by Togo Heihachiro.

After thinking of this question, Heihachiro Togo calmed down again, picked up his cigarette pouch, lit a match in the dark night, and took a heavy puff.

If I could have thought that I would fail, I wouldn't be so passive now. Then you might as well think about it from another angle, if the troop carrier formation is completely annihilated, then Togo Heihachiro's own fate will be considered over, well, it seems that there is no way back.

The only way to save himself is to completely annihilate the main fleet of the Chinese Navy, so that Heihachiro Togo can shirk part of the responsibility, he is not ignoring them, but fighting to the death with the enemy's main fleet, so how much can he manage? Even if the Japanese Combined Fleet suffered heavy losses in the end, then with the total annihilation of the Chinese Navy, he was at most transferred to the reserve.

What if it fails? The greatest possibility is that the Combined Fleet will be completely annihilated, and then the Chinese Navy will not retreat in its entirety, which will also delay the landing plans they may be preparing and give Japan more time to prepare.

Anyway, one is a death, the other is a heroic death, the family can still get preferential treatment, get the support of the people, if they just leave the army in embarrassment and go back, even if they can survive in the future, their family's life will not be easy.

Well, in fact, I should have thought like this before, I didn't think about winning or losing first, only thinking about my worst situation first, and then going to fight was more comfortable, and there was not so much pressure. This is the motto of the future commander of the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy, Yamamoto Isoroku, and before each battle, he will always first put out the tragic situation of his possible defeat, and then find a way to solve and avoid it, and Yamamoto Isoro's idol is Togo Heihachiro.

Although it was not conducive to combat, the environment was on both sides, and it had an impact on them, as well as on the enemy, and it seemed to have a greater advantage for the Japanese Combined Fleet.

Because they are at a disadvantage in terms of equipment, and the advantage of dark is that it can make the equipment advantage of the Chinese Navy unable to be brought into play, in this way, Heihachiro Togo can easily do what he wants to do most during the day, and quietly shorten the distance between the two sides.

If the other side does not implement light control, then in the first round of attacks, the combined fleet may inflict heavy losses on the enemy, anyway, it is a hard fight, and in the end, who can survive depends on luck.

I have to say that Togo Heihachiro, who has changed his mind, is extremely terrifying, he instantly thought of a solution to the problem, and was able to move back to the disadvantage in one fell swoop, so that they can regain hope of victory, although there is a great possibility of failure in doing so, because if the opponent's battleship hits at close range, no warship on the Japanese side can resist, but for Togo Heihachiro, who has no way out, launching a night battle is undoubtedly the best choice, and this is also his only chance.

"Order the fleet to turn around, prepare all positions for battle, and if you spot the enemy, open fire immediately, and do everything possible to sink them and avenge the fallen warriors of the Imperial Kingdom." Heihachiro Togo immediately ordered.

But then an embarrassing scene appeared, because it was too dark, and the flag language could not communicate normally, and at this time they could only use lights to communicate, but once the lights were turned on, wouldn't it be equivalent to leaking their location? And once the location leaks, then Heihachiro Togo's plan cannot be implemented.

In the end, Togo Heihachiro could only order the lifeboats equipped on the battleships to be lowered, most of which were driven by manpower, and there was only one mechanical lifeboat, so he could only let this lifeboat run one by one to inform the ships.

But the night is also a great test for the command of the combined fleet, because if you can't see anything, and you can't use lights, it means that you can't convey the news to the ships at the first time, and now they are marching in formation, and once one of the battleships turns and the other warships don't keep up, there is a high chance of a collision.

At this time, how Togo Heihachiro wished that Japan could have developed radio communication earlier, and if there was such a thing, they wouldn't have to be so passive now. In desperation, Togo Heihachiro had to set a time limit, and all the warships began to turn around an hour later, that is, at eight o'clock.
