Heihachiro Togo, commander of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, saw that the naval battle situation was unfavorable to his side, and immediately led the fleet to withdraw from the battlefield and fled to Japan's Sasebo naval base.

The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd fleets of the Northeast Navy annihilated the Japanese warships that were left behind, and found that the main force of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet was gone. They must have fled to Sasebo, Japan! ”

Jiang Hui nodded, he also thought that the remaining warships of the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet should flee to the Japanese Sasebo Naval Base, if they continued to pursue, they would not only need to face the remaining main force of the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet, but also face the bombardment of the coastal defense artillery of the Sasebo Naval Base, Jiang Hui had already dispelled the idea of continuing the pursuit in his heart.

According to the intelligence of the Northeast Military Intelligence Bureau, in recent years, Japan was stimulated by Lin Daxin's fleet to ravage Japanese port cities at that time, and vigorously built permanent batteries in various major ports, and Sasebo Port built 8 batteries, with dozens of large-caliber coastal defense guns, and these port batteries built by the Japanese are all reinforced concrete structures, the thickness of the main parts is more than 1 meter, and the strength is abnormal, even if the 305 mm naval guns hit at a long distance, it is difficult to penetrate the thick batteries.

Jiang Hui used the radio on the Yade to discuss with the other two fleet commanders, Sun Xitao and Jiang Chen, and decided to stop the pursuit of the Japanese Navy's combined fleet and continue to escort dozens of transport ships carrying the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd divisions of the Dingbei Army to Sakhalin Island, so Jiang Hui sent a telegram to the transport ships behind. Let the transport ship move in the direction of Tsushima.

Then the various warbands and assault teams of the Northeast Navy began to turn around, preparing to wait for the transport ships behind near Tsushima Island.

Although the naval battle did not last long. But the losses of the Northeast Navy were not small, and the all-steel battleships Zaide and Chaohu were sunk. In addition, the Third Fleet's Xingjian, the captured 11,092-ton Russian Joan of Arc-class large fast armored cruiser, was also torpedoed and sunk by the Japanese Navy's torpedo boats, and the Second Fleet's Hink, the captured 10,500-ton French Duplex-class large fast armored cruiser, was sunk in a confrontation with the Japanese Navy's large fast armored cruisers.

In addition, 3 anti-aircraft fast protection cruisers, 4 destroyers of the Decide-De-class and 7 mine-class torpedo boats were sunk in naval battles.

Many of the remaining warships of the three fleets of the Northeast Navy were also damaged, especially the main warships such as all-steel battleships and large fast armored cruisers, which were bombarded by the main warships of the Japanese Navy's combined fleet. Basically none of them were unscathed.

However, in this short naval battle, the final victory still belonged to the Northeast Navy, not only because the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet escaped in the end, but also because the losses of the Combined Fleet were much greater than those of the Northeast Navy.

When the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy fled into the port of Sasebo, Commander Heihachiro Togo counted the warships that had entered the port and found that the entire fleet was many fewer than before the naval battle began.

The Yamashiro of the 2nd Battlefleet and the Kako of the 4th Battleframe, 2 all-steel battleships were sunk in naval battles, and the ironclad battleships Yura and Kinu, which were purchased from the British, were sunk. From the purchase of the British Navy's four old ironclad ships, the Jammori, Katori, Tokiwa and Tsugaru, all of them sank and none of them survived.

The 9,700-ton Asama-class large fast armored cruisers Tsukuma and Maya were sunk, the Tsukuma was torpedoed and sunk by the Sharp Knife submarine, and the Maya was in a confrontation with the large fast armored cruisers of the Tohoku Navy. Sunk by shells.

The combined fleet of the Japanese Navy also lost the Yoshino-class fast-protection cruisers Hamatori, Wakaba, Joko, and Ayakura, and purchased four Italian fast-protection cruisers Asahun, Yamagumo, Natsugumo, and Fengyun, all of which were sunk in the aftermath engagement. All six destroyers of the 1st and 2nd destroyers of the Combined Fleet were sunk, and 24 torpedo boats were lost.

Although the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy suffered significant losses. But because of the decisiveness of the commander Heihachiro Togo, the main force of the combined fleet still exists. There is also capital that continues to compete with the Northeast Navy for sea supremacy.

Outside the battlefield of the naval battle, there were several observation ships of various countries in the naval battle, including 2 British fast protection cruisers, 1 American protection cruiser, 1 German fast protection cruiser and 1 French destroyer, all of which had just arrived from Shanghai and followed behind the Northeast Navy Fleet in order to observe the engagement between the Northeast Navy and the Japanese Navy.

At this time, the public concession and the French concession of Shanghai were inhabited by a large number of British, French, Americans, and Germans, and all four countries stationed small navies in Shanghai.

Seeing that this naval battle has ended, only one British fast protection cruiser of the four warships has left, and it is going to find a port city, and this British warship is also carrying observer representatives from the other three countries, who are ready to transmit the results of the naval battle back to China, and the other three warships will remain in this sea area, either following the Northeast Navy, or following the Japanese Navy, ready to continue to observe the next battle between the Northeast Navy and the Japanese Navy.

After waiting for a while, the First, Second, and Third Fleets of the Northeast Navy converged with dozens of transport ships that had rushed from behind and continued to sail north.

On September 21, the three fleets of the Northeast Navy, which had just gone through the naval battle, contacted Vladivostok by radio and passed on the process of the Battle of Tsushima to Vladivostok, and asked Vladivostok to pass on the results of the Battle of Tsushima to Lin Daxin.

Huang Hong, commander of the Sixth Fleet of the Northeast Navy in Vladivostok, was holding back a fire for a period of time and had no place to vent, and on the night of September 10, the Japanese attacked the port of Vladivostok, bringing heavy losses to the Sixth Fleet, among the main warships, 5 ironclad battleships, 2 sank and 1 seriously damaged, 5 large fast armored cruisers, 1 sank and 1 seriously damaged, plus 2 anti-several fast protection cruisers and 1 destroyer, and the other 2 anti-several fast protection cruisers were seriously injured, and the number of casualties exceeded 1,000 people. It is equal to a small decrease in the combat effectiveness of the Sixth Fleet.

And the Japanese Navy lost only a number of destroyers and torpedo boats. This raid by the Japanese Navy is also in the history of the Northeast Navy. Including its predecessor, the Navy Academy, the only defeat. Just let Huang Hong catch up, can you not let him get angry?

What's even more depressing is that Huang Hong didn't dare to lead the rest of the fleet to take revenge, so he could only retreat in the port of Vladivostok, otherwise he might enter the ambush circle of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet at sea, and Huang Hong didn't know the specific location of the main force of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet.

After Huang Hong received the battle report of the Falklands Naval Battle, he knew that the remaining main force of the Japanese Navy's combined fleet had fled back to Japan's Sasebo Naval Base, and he immediately jumped up excitedly and shouted: "Grandma's." It's time for revenge! Quick, order the ships to prepare to leave the port, and we will go and avenge the fallen brothers! ”

Shortly thereafter, at about 10 a.m. on September 21, the ironclad battleships Flying Eagle and Flying Wolf of the Sixth Fleet of the Northeast Navy, the large fast armored cruisers Xinghai, Xinghe and Xingsheng, 8 anti-aircraft fast protection cruisers, 7 destroyers of the Destroyer class, and 16 Mine A-class torpedo boats. These warships, which were not damaged by the Japanese attack, sailed out of the port of Vladivostok.

Before 1 p.m., the Sixth Fleet of the Northeast Navy came to the sea outside the Wild Boar River Wharf in the Far Eastern Province.

At this time, there were hundreds of Japanese transport ships and some Japanese warships on the sea outside the Wild Boar River Wharf. The Japanese transport ship landed from here carrying the third batch of 5 divisions of the Japanese Northern Dispatch Army.

These 100 Japanese transport ships arrived at the Wild Boar River Wharf yesterday, and so far two and a half divisions have boarded the Wild Boar River Wharf. The remaining 2 and a half divisions are landing, as they are limited by berths at the pier of the Boar River. It will take at least another 1 day for the remaining 2 and a half divisions to fully land on the coast. But at this time, the uninvited guest of the Sixth Fleet of the Northeast Navy came uninvited.

Today's weather was a little gloomy, and by the time the Japanese discovered the uninvited guest of the Sixth Fleet of the Northeast Navy, the Sixth Fleet of the Northeast Navy was already less than 8,000 meters away from the Wild Boar River Wharf.

In the bridge of the large fast armored cruiser Xinghai, the flagship of the Sixth Fleet of the Northeast Navy, Huang Hong, who had a majestic face, looked at the Japanese transport ships and warships on the sea of the Wild Boar River, and shouted loudly: "It is better to come early than to come by coincidence, order all ships to bombard Lao Tzu fiercely, and don't leave a Japanese ship on the sea!" ”

The Japanese Navy had four protective cruisers, six torpedo boats, and four small gunboats in the sea off the Wild Boar River Pier, and these warships were escorting five divisions on hundreds of Japanese transport ships, and four of them were second-hand goods of the British Navy that had been purchased not long ago.

When the small fleet of the Japanese Navy saw the Sixth Fleet of the Northeast Navy coming violently, it knew that it was not good, and immediately rushed forward head-on, regardless of the disparity in strength, and asked hundreds of Japanese transport ships to flee separately as soon as possible, otherwise they would all become the target of the Northeast Navy.

Huang Hong saw these Japanese warships that were not self-sufficient, although he also admired their courage in blocking the car with their mantis arms, but he would not show mercy to his subordinates, and immediately divided the ironclad battleships Flying Eagle and Flying Wolf, 4 anti-aircraft fast protection cruisers, 3 destroyers of several destroyers, and 6 Mine A-class torpedo boats, and ordered them to destroy the Japanese warships that rushed over, and Xinghai took the remaining warships to pounce on hundreds of transport ships.

Not far from the wharf of the Wild Boar River, Oyama Yan, the commander of the Northern Dispatch Army of Japan's China, looked at the sea in the distance with a gloomy face, turned his head to a Japanese soldier next to him and said: "Immediately order the troops who have landed to leave the dock and move inland, so that the troops close to the sea should also leave the station as soon as possible and stay away from the seaside, otherwise they will be bombarded by the naval guns of the Northeast Navy." ”

The Japanese soldier asked hesitantly: "Commander, there are still a large number of materials and ammunition piled up on the dock, are you sending someone to rush to transport it?" ”

Piled up on the wharf of the Wild Boar River were a large amount of supplies and ammunition that had been transported along with the third batch of five divisions, and some of them, which were the first two batches of 10 divisions and regiments, had not yet had time to rush to the newly built barracks.

Oyama Yan sighed and said: "The Northeast Navy will not give us this opportunity, now it is the most important thing to save the lives of our officers and soldiers of the Great Japanese Army, fortunately, most of the materials and ammunition are in the barracks inside, and the range of the Northeast Navy's naval guns should not be so far." ”

After saying that, Dashanyan turned around and left here in a hurry with his men, the barracks here in Dashanyan were originally the headquarters of the northern dispatch army of China, but it was too close to the shore and was also within the range of naval guns, so Dashanyan had to quickly move inland.

With the order of Dashan Yan, the Japanese troops at the Wild Boar River Wharf and the Japanese troops in the barracks on the shore retreated inland in a chaotic manner, and if they stayed in place, they would be 100% bombarded by the guns of the Northeast Navy.

In the formation dominated by the ironclad battleships Flying Eagle and Flying Wolf, they soon encountered the small fleet outside the Wild Boar River Pier of the Japanese Navy, and these warships of the Japanese Navy originally hoped to entangle all the warships of the Sixth Fleet, but with their strength, they were really more than capable of doing so, and just engaged, they were sunk by the Flying Eagle ironclad battleship 6,000 meters away, with a shell of a 305 mm main gun, and a protective cruiser was sunk, and as the distance between the two sides got closer and closer, the Japanese warships lost more and more.

When the warships of the two sides were 2,000 meters apart, all four Japanese protective cruisers were sunk, leaving only three torpedo boats and two small gunboats, the Japanese small gunboats had a displacement of more than 100 tons, and the largest caliber gun on the gunboats was only 75 millimeters.

3 torpedo boats of the Japanese Navy brought some losses to the Sixth Fleet of the Northeast Navy, they fired all the steam gas torpedoes they carried at a distance of 2,000 meters, 1 destroyer of the Sixth Fleet of the Northeast Navy, found that there was a torpedo fired at the Flying Wolf, the Flying Wolf had no way to dodge, the destroyer fired at the torpedo with a rapid-fire gun, and at the same time accelerated and stopped in front of the Flying Wolf, and finally the rapid-fire gun did not stop the torpedo, but was stopped by the destroyer, However, the destroyer, which was hit by one torpedo, did not last long on the surface of the sea and sank into the sea, which was also the only warship lost by the Sixth Fleet of the Northeast Navy in this revenge battle.

After that, the remaining Japanese torpedo boats and small gunboats disappeared under heavy naval artillery bombardment.

Most of these Japanese transport ships had a maximum speed of about 10 or 11 knots, and very few transport ships could escape the poisonous hands of the Sixth Fleet, and one after another the transport ships were sunk by naval bombardment, and there were many officers and men of the Japanese Army on it, most of whom sank to the bottom of the sea with the transport ships.
