"Chief of Staff, the Russians are running away!" Commodore Zhao Hongcai, commander of the battleship 'Sichuan', reminded. While the detachment of the Chinese Navy's home fleet concentrated all its efforts on shelling the battleship 'Poltava,' the remaining four battleships of the Russian Pacific Fleet took the opportunity to disperse and flee toward Vladivostok, hoping to escape the pursuit of the Chinese fleet. After the sinking of the battleship "Nicholas I", the heavy damage of the battleship "Poltava", and the death of the commander of the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy, Rear Admiral Vizofut, these people were already frightened, they did not have the courage to continue fighting, and only wanted to escape with their lives.

"Don't worry, they can't escape. Let's concentrate our firepower and sink the battleship Poltava, and then we will go after them! Lieutenant General Li Haitao said.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The sound of artillery on the sea shook the sky. After the bridge was hit, the battleship 'Poltava' lost its effective command and was simply unable to react correctly when it was hit hard by the Chinese Navy.

At 22 o'clock, the battleship 'Poltava' was hit again, and a 20-mm naval gun fired from the heavy cruiser 'Lanzhou' hit the apostle of the 'Poltava', and a chimney was knocked out, so that the power of the 'Poltava' was affected by Yanzhòng, and the speed suddenly dropped to the knot. At such a speed, it is simply impossible to escape the pursuit of the Chinese Navy.

At this time, the battleship 'Poltava' raised the white flag. After determining that there is no way out. They chose to surrender in exchange for their lives.

"I surrendered!" The heavy cruiser Lanzhou stayed behind to monitor the battleship Poltava, and the two destroyers were lined up to disarm the Russians on the battleship Poltava. The rest of the battleships, continuing to hunt down the Russian fleet, increased the speed to knots! Lieutenant General Li Haitao ordered.

The Chinese fleet immediately pursued the fleeing main battleship of the Russian Navy's Pacific Fleet at high speed, while the heavy cruiser "Lanzhou" remained, and the thick barrel was aimed at the battleship "Poltava". If there is any abnormal movement, it will fire immediately. The two destroyers approached, and dozens of sailors carrying weapons boarded the battleship 'Poltava', and the Russian sailors on it were also very cooperative, closing the gun doors and handing over all their weapons.

It was only after the Chinese soldiers had taken control of the battleship 'Poltava' that the heavy cruiser 'Lanzhou' set off and rushed to the main force of the fleet as fast as possible. Join the attack on other Russian warships.

At 4 o'clock, the Chinese Navy caught up with the escaped battleship 'Cesme'. The battleship Cesme, one of the battleships of the Catherine II class, had a displacement of 11,000 tons, but its maximum speed was only 5 knots, so it fell behind.

"Fire!" The Chinese Navy then launched a fierce attack on the battleship Cesme, and in order to end the battle as soon as possible, the distance was shortened to 8,000 meters. In this way, the hit rate of the Chinese Navy will almost be more than doubled. And the Russian Navy, still only by luck. this distance. It's beyond their capabilities.

"Boom!" At 4:02, a 05-mm shell fired by the battleship "Sichuan" hit the bow of the battleship "Cesme", and the violent explosion cut off half of the ship's capital. Fortunately, the part that was cut off was above the waterline. Otherwise, the battleship 'Cesme' would be completely finished.

Of course, the situation of the battleship Cesme, which escaped the catastrophe, has not changed. In the siege of the Chinese fleet, it still looks precarious. A large number of shells exploded around the battleship 'Cesme', and the column of water that rose into the sky on the sea almost surrounded the battleship. The Russian sailors on the battleship 'Cesme' were also terrified, and they couldn't tell when the 'Cesme' would be sunk, and they all had to sink to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish.

At 4:27, a 05-mm shell fired by the battleship 'Xikang' hit the battleship 'Cesme' near the waterline, piercing the armor below the starboard waterline, blowing a large hole.

The raging waters poured into the battleship Cesme, and the battleship began to tilt to the right. Despite their dedication, the damage management personnel could not prevent the sinking of the battleship. In the end, the captain could only announce the abandonment of the ship. At 4:40 a.m., the Cesme sank into the sea, and all the Russian sailors who escaped in lifeboats were captured.

With the sinking of the battleship Cesme, the Russian Navy was reduced to only three battleships. They are still fleeing separately towards Vladivostok, but as the Chinese navy quickly catches up, the chances of them escaping are not very good.

"Order the three heavy cruisers to accelerate to the maximum speed and intercept the three battleships of the Russian Navy that had escaped. Be sure to stop them all! Li Haitao ordered in the middle. In doing so, it is more secure. The maximum speed of the three heavy cruisers, all at 26 knots, was almost twice that of the battleships of the Russian Navy. Although the Russian ships were now only 60 kilometers from Vladivostok, they could not escape.

The three heavy cruisers, 'Xi'an', 'Xining' and 'Lanzhou', quickly caught up. The battleships 'Sichuan' and 'Xikang' also continued to catch up at a speed of knots.

At 5 o'clock, three heavy cruisers of the Chinese Navy caught up with three battleships of the Russian Navy, the 'Twelve Apostles', 'Navarin' and 'Sevastopol', and they were heavily shelled. The Russian Navy was in a hurry and did not pay any attention to the shelling of the Chinese Navy. Because they knew that at a distance of more than 8,000 meters, the chance of them hitting the Chinese warship was very small, and instead of reducing their speed and fighting with the Chinese navy, it was better to seize the time to escape, and maybe they could still escape.

"Boom!" At 5:00, the battleship "Twelve Apostles" was hit by the heavy cruiser "Xi'an", the stern was shot, and the steering gear was directly knocked out, which made the battleship "Twelve Apostles" lose the ability to turn. Under these circumstances, the captain of the battleship "Twelve Apostles" decisively raised the white flag and surrendered to the Chinese Navy. Because they know that if they do not surrender, what awaits them will be sunk.

At 5:45, the 'Xining' also hit the battleship 'Navarin', but it did not inflict fatal damage on it, but only knocked out a secondary gun. But it also scared the Russian sailors on the battleship Navarin enough. At this time, the heavy cruiser 'Xi'an' also dared to come up and flank the battleship 'Navarin' together with the heavy cruiser 'Xining'. If you don't have an opponent if you don't have a one-to-one, you won't be an opponent if you're one to two. At 6 o'clock, the heavy cruisers 'Xining' and 'Xi'an' respectively hit the battleship 'Navarin'. The main guns of the battleship 'Navarin' were hit in the bow and stern, which amounted to a complete disarmament. Under these circumstances, the battleship Navarin no longer had the courage to continue fighting. Although their speed was not affected, no one dared to guarantee that the next shell would not hit the vital point of the battleship Navarin. Therefore, the captain of the battleship "Navarin" also gave the order to surrender, and the battleship raised the white flag, closed the gun door, and waited for the Chinese naval soldiers to board the ship.

In the end, among the capital ships of the Russian Navy, there was only one left, the battleship "Sevastopol" of the "Petrobarovsk-class" battleship. And at this time, the battleships "Sichuan" and "Xikang" of the Chinese Navy also caught up. Although it was only about 20 kilometers from Vladivostok, the road ahead was blocked by two heavy cruisers of the Chinese Navy. There were two more powerful battleships in the back, and a heavy cruiser on the side. In this case, the battleship 'Sevastopol' was almost dead.

"Send a signal to the enemy ships to surrender!" Major General Li Haitao ordered. Now, there are already three battleships of the Russian Navy that have been captured, and if one more is captured, it will be a big gain. Although, these Russian battleships are relatively old, and the Chinese Navy is no longer on them. However, after repair, there is no problem in using it as a training ship or even a target ship. Of course, if there is any country that wants to buy it, it is the best. Some small countries in South America have been frantically expanding their armaments recently. It's just that the British battleships are too expensive, and they don't have so much money, and if these battleships captured by the Chinese Navy can be sold cheaply after modification, I believe it will be very attractive to them.

The battleship "Sevastopol", having received a signal from the Chinese Navy asking them to surrender, hesitated. The captain of the battleship 'Sevastopol' was also a man of backbone, and even at this moment, he still wanted to fight. However, the Russian sailors on the battleship did not want to accompany him to his death. After persuasion failed, the chief engineer, chief navigator and chief gunners of the battleship 'Sevastopol', led the sailors and arrested the captain. At 6:20 a.m., the white flag was raised from the Sevastopol, and two destroyers of the Chinese Navy approached the battleship, disarmed the Russian soldiers, and captured the battleship.

At the same time, the battle between the cruiser and the destroyer, too, ended. The Chinese Navy sank one destroyer, another two destroyers and two light cruisers were damaged, but the four cruisers of the Russian Navy sank two, the destroyers were sunk five, and the remaining battleships, all returned to Vladivostok. In general, the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy has basically collapsed.
