This fierce battle, known in history as the "Battle of Gagir Island", lasted a whole day. In the fierce battle, the main force of the Chinese home fleet completely annihilated the Japanese return fleet at a small cost. Once again, it has proved to the world that the era of "giant ship artillery" with full main guns has been bringed, and the Chinese Navy has once again gone to the front of the world.

In this naval battle, the Chinese home fleet sank the Japanese fleet's battleship Shikishima, battleship Ryusho, battleship Hizen, armored cruiser Iwami, tanko Tango, armored cruiser Shubo, armored cruiser Owari, captured battleship Asahi, armored cruiser Asahi, armored cruiser Asamu, armored cruiser Suruga, and captured three destroyers. The losses of the Chinese Navy were only minor injuries to the battleship 'Zhonghua' and 'Huaxia', and the two battleships were able to continue fighting, the heavy cruiser 'Beijing' was heavily damaged and needed to be repaired by the shipyard to replace the main guns and armor at the rear, and the heavy cruisers 'Kulen' and 'Dihua' were slightly damaged, which did not affect the battle. In terms of casualties, the main force of the Chinese Navy's home fleet lost 75 killed and 204 wounded, of which 2 were seriously wounded. And the Japanese fleet, all the survivors, a total of no more than a thousand, the rest, were killed or sunk to the bottom of the sea. What a win!

After the end of the naval battle, the staff officers of the home fleet immediately began to count the results. Destroyers and light cruisers began to rescue Japanese sailors who had fallen overboard. Of course, many Japanese soldiers refused the rescue of the Chinese navy, so they had to destroy themselves. Compared with the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, when the Japanese used rifles to shoot the sailors of the Beiyang Naval Division who fell into the water, the Chinese Navy can be regarded as benevolent and righteous.

After the staff officers counted the results, Deng Shichang smiled like a child while holding the thin piece of paper. From the beginning of the first year, he thought about defeating the Japanese and avenging the dead comrades. And now, it's finally happening. The main forces of the Japanese fleet, which have been wiped out. The next step is to march into Japan and completely destroy the country.

"Immediately give His Majesty good news! I'm afraid they're already in a hurry! Deng Shichang said with a smile. He didn't have to think about it to know that now the eyes of the entire empire and even the whole world were gathered here, waiting for the outcome of this naval battle. The outcome of this naval battle is directly related to the series of actions taken by various countries in the future.

When the main force of the home fleet led by Deng Shichang was fighting against the Japanese return fleet, the detachment led by Vice Admiral Li Haitao, chief of staff of the home fleet, was also fighting fiercely with the Japanese home fleet. After discovering the traces of the Japanese return fleet and China declaring war on Japan, the detachment began to kill the Japanese home fleet.

The detachment consisted of two 'Sichuan-class' battleships: 'Sichuan' and 'Plateau', four 'Chengdu-class' heavy cruisers, 'Xi'an', 'Lanzhou', 'Xining' and 'Wuhan', four 'Tianshui-class' light cruisers and one destroyer. The Japanese home fleet, on the other hand, consisted of two Fuji-class battleships, the Fuji and Yashima, as well as five cruisers and six destroyers. In terms of combat strength, the Chinese Navy detachment still has the absolute upper hand.

The Japanese Navy's "Fuji-class" battleships are an improved version of the British "Monarch-class" battleships, the "Fuji" class battleships, with a standard displacement of 12,500 tons, a total length of 44 meters, a width of 22 meters, a draft of meters, a maximum speed of knots, a cruising range of 0 knots / 7,000 nautical miles, and a crew of 726 people. It is armed with two twin 05-mm naval guns, 0 52-mm single-mounted guns, 24 47-mm single-mounted guns, 450-mm over-the-water torpedo tubes, and four 450-mm underwater torpedo tubes. Although the speed is slightly higher than that of the 'Sichuan-class' battleships equipped by the Chinese Navy, the displacement is 2,000 tons less, and the defense power is not as good as that of the 'Sichuan-class' battleships. Overall, the two battleships were on par in terms of combat power.

However, in addition to two 'Sichuan-class' battleships, the Chinese naval detachment also had four heavy cruisers of the 'Chengdu' class. Although the main gun caliber of the 'Chengdu-class' heavy cruiser was only 20 mm, it was enough to threaten the 'Fuji-class' battleships of the Japanese Navy. At the same time, the speed is much higher than that of the 'Fuji class', and it has a numerical advantage. This gave the Chinese naval detachment a big upper hand.

The Japanese Home Fleet was followed by light cruisers and destroyers of the Chinese Navy detachment after it sailed from the port of Yokosuka. Report the movements of the Japanese Navy's home fleet to the detachment anytime and anywhere. When Heihachiro Togo thought that he had thrown off the Chinese navy and entered the Pacific Ocean safely, the Japanese home fleet, which had been staying in the waters south of Hachijojima, quickly moved south in an attempt to join the Japanese fleet back to China. At this time, the Chinese naval detachment had received an order to quickly kill the Japanese home fleet.

The battle between the Chinese Navy detachment and the Japanese mainland fleet broke out at 2:20 p.m. on the 2nd of the month in the sea area 100 kilometers west of Bird Island. At that time, the Chinese naval detachment came from the west. And the commander of the Japanese home fleet, Rear Admiral Shibayama Yahachi, and four high-speed armored cruisers (Chinese Navy weighing cruisers) attacked the Japanese fleet, and he knew that he would not be able to escape today, so he had to meet the battle.

At 2:20 a.m., when the two sides were 12,000 kilometers apart, the battleship 'Sichuan' fired the first salvo of this naval battle. At this time, Rear Admiral Li Haitao's orders were for the battleship 'Sichuan', the heavy cruiser 'Xi'an' and the heavy cruiser 'Lanzhou' against the battleship 'Fuji', and the battleship 'Plateau', the heavy cruiser 'Xining' and the heavy cruiser 'Wuhan' against the battleship 'Yashima'. In addition, in addition to the main duel, the light cruisers and destroyers of both sides were also strangled together, which was even more tragic.

At 2:00, the Chinese Navy detachment, which had completed calibration, opened fire one after another. At this time, the distance between the two sides has been shortened to 10,000 meters. The commander of the Japanese home fleet, Shibayama Yahachi, desperately wanted to shorten the distance between the two sides, but his efforts were in vain. At this time, the Chinese navy had already formed a complete set of tactics for engaging at a distance of about 10,000 meters, which could not be destroyed by the Japanese navy. As a last resort, the Japanese Navy had to compete with the Chinese Navy at this distance.

Although the number of ships engaged in the battle was small, the fighting here was still fierce. At 2:55, the heavy cruiser "Lanzhou" took the lead in completing the straddle fire on the battleship "Fuji", which made Shibayama Yahachi, who commanded the battle on the "Fuji", break out in a cold sweat. Less than half an hour before the start of the battle, the Chinese Navy had already completed the straddle firing, which showed that the Japanese Navy was already at a complete disadvantage in terms of the accuracy of the shelling.

At 5 o'clock, a 20-mm shell from the heavy cruiser 'Lanzhou' hit the starboard side of the 'Fuji', blowing a large hole and destroying a secondary gun. However, the explosion was above the waterline and did not pose a fatal threat to the Fuji.

At 40 o'clock, a shell from the 'Xi'an' exploded more than 10 meters to the left of the 'Fuji', forming a near-miss. The explosion of the shell caused a huge squeezing force that tore a hole more than a meter long in the underwater armor of the "Fuji". The rough waters rushed towards Fuji, and the sailors on the Fuji tried their best to block the opening.

At this time, Shibayama Yahachi arrived at the threat of the heavy cruisers of the Chinese Navy to the Japanese fleet. He ordered to shift the targets of the shelling from the battleships of the Chinese Navy to heavy cruisers. He knew very well that Japan would lose this naval battle, but he hoped that it would cause huge losses to the Chinese navy, so that their death would not be in vain.

At 4:24, the heavy cruiser 'Xining' hit the stern of the 'Yashima', penetrated the aft deck of the 'Yashima', and cut off half of the stern.

At 4:05, a 05-mm main gun shell from the 'Yashima' also hit the heavy cruiser 'Wuhan' at the rear, blowing up a large hole above the waterline of the ship's amidships, blowing up two rapid-fire guns.

And the battleships of the detachment of the Chinese Navy, I don't know what was going on, did not begin to exert real power until after 5 o'clock.

5:22 a.m. A 05-mm gun of the 'Plateau' hit the bow of the 'Yashima' and blew up the entire capital of the ship, causing the 'Yashima' to suffer heavy damage and reduce its speed.

Then, at 5:40 a.m., a 05-mm shell from the 'Plateau' hit the armor near the waterline of the 'Yashima', tearing open a hole more than three meters wide. The influx of turbulent sea water caused the 'Yashima' to tilt severely, and the damage management personnel of the 'Yashima' were powerless. Almost at the same time, a 20-millimeter shell fired by the Wuhan hit the bridge of the Yashima, killing all the officers inside, including the captain. Ten minutes later, the Yashima sank to the bottom of the sea.

The Fuji's situation was not much better. At 5:06 a.m., the 'Sichuan' hit the 'Fuji' for the first time. The foremast was blown off with a single shot, causing heavy damage to the Fuji.

In the next half hour, the 'Sichuan', 'Xi'an' and 'Lanzhou' hit the 'Fuji' respectively. The deadliest shell was fired by the Lanzhou. This shell pierced the armor under the rear main gun of the 'Fuji', and detonated the ammunition depot, causing the 'Fuji' to be blown in two and sunk to the bottom of the sea within two minutes, and hundreds of Japanese soldiers on it did not survive.

So far, all the capital ships of the Japanese Navy have been sunk or captured.
