Chapter 129 is here (tomorrow...... Ask for a commuter pass! Read! ）

From the East China Sea to the Yellow Sea, from the Yellow Sea to Tsushima, among the hundreds of watchtowers, thousands of Japanese searched day and night for any suspicious targets on the sea, and on the sea, hundreds of vigilant fleets composed of "armed merchant ships" and "fishing boats" also searched the sea day and night for the traces of the Russian fleet.

In particular, after the Russian fleet sailed out of Sanduao seven days ago, the number of search ships increased to nearly 200. Every Japanese on the search ship kept their eyes wide open to any suspicious ship on the sea, even on the coast, and every Japanese on the coast looked at the sea with wide eyes in order to spot the ships of the Lùsia navy.

For the first time in the history of mankind, a country was fully mobilized from top to bottom in a war, and perhaps the Japanese did not know that they had consciously or unconsciously created a history, a history in military history, a history of total warfare.

From this point on, war was not just a matter for the army, it directly involved the life of each of the participating countries and the gods of jīng, and if any country wanted to win the war, the whole people had to be determined to go to the battlefield, and everyone had to spare no effort and dedicate all their body and mind. The essence of war has changed from the war of kings and generals to the investment of the general forces of the nation.

Of course, at this time, I am afraid that only a very small number of people know the revolutionary significance of this war in the history of war, and for the Japanese who participated in this "total" war, the only thing they need to do is to do their part in this war and make their own efforts for the victory of the war with due diligence.

Rear spinning workers and raw silk workers produced cotton yarn and raw silk for Japan in exchange for foreign exchange for importing machinery, munitions, and warships, workers in arsenals produced munitions to supply front-line military supplies, and peasants produced rice to supply military supplies, and every Japanese indirectly or directly served the war.

"For the last battle!"

Almost all of Japan understands that at this time...... The final battle of the Lù War was approaching, and the fate of the Great Japanese Empire would be decided by this coming naval battle, and while every Japanese citizen was putting their own efforts into winning the war, the Japanese Combined Fleet, which was far away in the Gulf of Korea, directly participated in this naval battle, and went to control the future of the Japanese Empire, was in a state of tension and depression, even panic.

The soldiers are praying for the upcoming naval battle, they are praying for victory, of course, while praying for victory, they also pray for themselves to survive the war, the soldiers' thoughts are simple, but the officers' thoughts are mixed, compared to the sailors, the officers think more.

Can you win?

Count the battleship, 4 against 8!

Calculation armored cruisers, 8 pairs.

Well, finally regained a little advantage,

Calculating the number of ships and tonnage, the Combined Fleet has all the advantages, and the Combined Fleet also has a "home field advantage", as for the Second Pacific Fleet in Lù West Asia, it was an 18,000-nautical-mile expedition to the "Eighth Wonder of the World".

Fortunately, there are some advantages!

But why not worry? Especially when the big war was approaching, and even after the order to prepare for battle was issued, everyone's nerves were crumbling to the extreme.

On the evening of May 26, when the sun was setting, the sea surface of Zhenwan was reflected in the remnants of the sun, and it seemed that in everyone's eyes, it was the sea surface of blood that seemed to be stained with the blood of the Japanese Navy.

At a time when the heavens and the earth seemed to be shrouded in an ominous atmosphere, on the battleship "Mikasa", the flagship of the Combined Fleet, Masayuki Akiyama, who had believed that Japan would win from before the war, and had always been so confident, would also be very uneasy about Rogerstinsky's movements, and he, who had been planning how to defeat Rogerstvinsky for the past seven months, would be completely enveloped in a sense of unease and tension in the future.

In the officer's cafeteria, with the accompaniment of the band, when the steak was served to the table, he cut a knife, looking at the bloodshot cow ròu, Akiyama Mayuki only felt a feeling of nausea in his heart, he seemed to see the moment when the United Fleet was destroyed and the sea was dyed red, and he almost fled from the restaurant in a panic. ,

When Akiyama Shinyuki "fled" to the side of the ship to breathe a sigh of relief, the commander of the 4th Destroyer Squadron, Kantaro Suzuki, also followed.

When he saw Kantaro Suzuki Nakasa, Akiyama Shinyuki spat out his heart.

"I really don't know where the Russians went, and if they go through the Tsushima Strait, they should come too."

It should come! This question has always haunted the minds of Akiyama Shinyuki and every officer and soldier of the Combined Fleet, and the wait is often the most heart-wrenching, especially when there is no news of it.

And Suzuki Kantaro Nakasa shook his head and said.

"No, not that fast, Akiyama-kun, what do you estimate their speed?"

"10 nautical miles."

After a while, Akiyama Mayuki spit out a number, this speed should be about the same.

"Impossible!"

Kantaro Suzuki Nakasa flatly denied it.

"Rogerstvinsky brought so many old ships, there were mechanical failures on the way, and they had to be coaled, and Rodgerstwinsky's fleet could reach a speed of 7 knots, which is already very remarkable."

Shen yín for a moment, Akiyama Shinyuki nodded, and only then did he realize that his judgment had been disturbed by the anxiety and waiting in his heart, and after slowly calming down, he spoke.

"Suzuki, your estimate should be correct, it is even possible that the speed of Rogerstwinsky's fleet did not even exceed 8 nautical miles at all."

When he nodded in agreement, Akiyama Shinyuki's brow furrowed.

"Yesterday, Saidanmaru reported that six German coal carriers hired by Rogerstinsky's fleet had entered the port of Shanghai, and the Mitsui & Co. Shanghai branch immediately informed the base camp of the situation, and based on the amount of coal that the Russian fleet itself might have carried, it could be concluded that Rogerstinsky had no choice but to take the Tsushima Strait."

Akiyama Mamichi was the most important piece of information that the coal ship had told Japan, and it was this information that relieved Akiyama Shinyuki, but the wait made him irritating.

"If that's right, we should have discovered Rogerstwinsky's fleet by now, but why?"

Suddenly, Akiyama Shinyuki's whole person fell silent, and he looked at Zhenwan, who had been shrouded in the curtain, and spoke.

"If by the early hours of tomorrow morning, there is no trace of the Russian fleet...... Then we will have to prepare to intercept the Rodgerstwinsky fleet on other sides beyond the sea! ”

On May 27, in the middle of the night, the 6,388-ton armed merchant ship Shinano Maru, which was sailing at a speed of 8 knots, was sailing at a speed of 8 knots.

In the middle of the night, when the Shinano Maru sailed to an atoll called Shirase, the Shinano Maru spotted a light in the northwest by the light of the stars and moon in the sky.

"Spot the lights!"

A report immediately caused a panic on the "Shinano Maru", and the captain of the "Shinano Maru", Narikawa dialed Osa, and immediately ordered to approach the target, and when the "Shinano Maru" approached the position of the light,

The Russian fleet hospital ship "Eagle", which emitted the lights, was completely unaware of its actions and had already stormed the entire fleet. The captain of the hospital ship, which has the same name as the battleship "Eagle", may not know that there is actually no difference between a battleship and a hospital ship in war. Perhaps thinking that it was protected by the Hague Convention, he ignored the lights of the fleet and the ban on radio control, and recklessly proclaimed the existence of the great Russian fleet.

As for what will happen to the entire fleet of the Russian fleet sailing in this dangerous sea zone after its lights are discovered, it has nothing to do with the hospital ships, which will do their best to treat the brave Russian sailors, and nothing else has to do with it.

After approaching the glowing "Eagle" hospital ship, as he got closer and closer to the hospital ship, he would already feel nervous and a little suffocated, Narikawa Dialosa, who was a rare thief even in the navy. But an order was unexpectedly given.

"Circle the target and confirm the target's identity!"

With Narukawa's order, the atmosphere of the entire "Shinano Maru" was tense to the extreme, and when he circled the "Eagle" when he was huā two xiǎo, and affirmed that it was a Russian hospital ship, Narukawa's palms broke out in a cold sweat, and on the "Shinano Maru", the sailors of the bile xiǎo were even getting wet with kùzi. ,

"This is a hospital ship for the fleet of the country of lù!"

When they identified the ship, they were also aware of the danger, perhaps...... The entire Rozhestvinsky fleet was on their side.

Although he was extremely nervous, Narukawa Diasa knew that the existence of the hospital ship did not prove the existence of the Russian fleet, and at this time, the "Eagle" hospital ship also discovered the "Shinano Maru", and the "Eagle", which was extremely confused, actually sent a light signal to the "Shinano Maru" at this time, asking the "Shinano Maru" to send a flash signal to prove its identity, and this light signal was actually in plain language.

“…… The national fleet is here! ”
