At a time when the whole world was shocked by Japan's unforeseen seizure of more than 100 warships of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet, a huge fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy had gathered on the sea more than 100 nautical miles away from the entrance to Japan's Tokyo Bay.

This huge fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy is composed of the Royal Navy's Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Fleets, the Hakodate Port Garrison Fleet, and an independent submarine fleet.

The Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Fleets have six all-steel battleships, eight large fast armored cruisers, 32 fast protection cruisers, 32 destroyers, 48 torpedo boats, and eight submarines each with a standard allocation of six main fleets.

The 4th Fleet is equipped with 4 mythical-class aircraft carriers, 4 Admiral-class super dreadnought battleships and 3 Feng-class dreadnought battleships, making it the 4th aircraft carrier battle group of the Imperial Chinese Navy.

The Fifth Fleet was equipped with 6 Dragon-class dreadnought battleships, and the Sixth Fleet was equipped with 5 Dragon-class dreadnought battleships, as well as 2 Bellerophon-class dreadnought battleships captured by the British Navy.

The Hakodate Port garrison fleet had 6 all-steel battleships, 4 ironclad battleships, 8 large fast armored cruisers, 16 fast protection cruisers, 16 destroyers, and 20 torpedo boats, while the submarine fleet had 48 Q-class submarines and 16 S-class submarines, in addition to the two submarines of the era Bayonet and Sharp Knife, which surpassed the era in terms of performance.

On the bridge of the Zhao Yun, the flagship of the Fourth Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy, Chen Ming, the commander of the Fourth Fleet, asked Li Ran, the captain of the Zhao Yun, "Has the Ministry of Defense sent the latest order?" ”

Li Ran shook his head and said, "Brother Chen, there is no latest order from the Ministry of Defense at present. I really didn't expect it. The Japanese will be so crazy that they will take away hundreds of warships of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet. At this time, the Japanese navy was developed, and the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy came to Japan's warships. However, there were 2 super dreadnought battleships, 10 dreadnought battleships, and 11 all-steel battleships, plus other types of American warships, which were stronger than the entire Japanese Navy. ”

Chen Ming sneered and said: "Then it depends on whether our Royal Navy will let the Japanese swallow this big pie, as long as the order of the Ministry of Defense to attack is issued, immediately let the carrier-based aircraft of the four aircraft carriers take off and bomb the Japanese port of Yokohama, and then all the main forces of our Fourth Fleet, Fifth Fleet, Sixth Fleet and Hakodate Port Garrison Fleet will immediately attack and advance to the Japanese port of Yokohama, and the other ports will not be ignored first." Maybe we in the Royal Navy can be a fisherman. ”

Li Ran rubbed his hands and said: "The other 3 aircraft carrier battle groups have already made great achievements in the great battle in the Arabian Sea, and they have defeated the second joint expeditionary fleet formed by the Entente, the Allies and the United States, and escaped miserably, in addition to sinking the second joint expeditionary fleet 3 super dreadnought battleships, 34 dreadnought battleships and 57 all-steel battleships, they also captured 2 super dreadnought battleships, 8 dreadnought battleships and 5 all-steel battleships, and other types of warships, sinking and capturing more!" This time against the Japanese Navy, it is also time for our Fourth Fleet to show its strength! ”

Chen Ming nodded and said, "Those warships of Japan's own Combined Fleet, plus hundreds of warships of the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy. It's definitely enough for our Fourth Fleet, as well as several other Royal Navy fleets, to wait for orders from the Ministry of Defense now. ”

Chen Ming and Li Ran were talking, and the second mate of the Zhao Yun in the bridge hurriedly walked to the side of the captain Li Ran. handed a telegram to Li Ran, "Captain, the latest order from the Ministry of Defense!" ”

Chen Ming immediately turned his head and asked urgently, "What is the order of the Ministry of Defense?" ”

Li Ran took the telegram. quickly looked at it and said to Chen Ming, "Brother Chen." The Ministry of Defense ordered all our fleets in the vicinity of Tokyo Bay in Japan to immediately enter Tokyo Bay. To launch an attack on the Japanese port of Yokohama, the Japanese cannot easily digest the US Navy's Pacific Fleet! ”

After speaking, Li Ran handed the telegram in his hand to Chen Ming again, Chen Ming took it and read it, and said with a smile: "It's exactly what I want!" At the same time, a telegram was sent to Xiao Zhengda, commander of the aircraft carrier formation, ordering four mythical-class aircraft carriers to take off immediately and bomb all warships in the port of Yokohama, and at the same time to Wen Yu, commander of the Fifth Fleet, Huang Hong, commander of the Sixth Fleet, Wu Yimin, commander of the Hakodate Port Garrison Fleet, and Zhang Bin, commander of the submarine fleet, that the fleets immediately entered Tokyo Bay and directly attacked the port of Yokohama. ”

On the morning of March 10, 1909, on the dock of the port of Yokohama, Japan, Heihachiro Togo, Minister of the Japanese Navy and commander of the Combined Fleet of the Japanese Navy, accompanied by a large group of senior officers of the Japanese Navy, came to inspect the captured Pacific Fleet of the United States Navy in the port of Yokohama.

Togo Heihachiro said to Vice Admiral Juno Sakai, the captain of the Hanoi Fearless Battleship beside him, with a red face: "Sakai-kun, this operation, under your command, has been a complete success, His Majesty the Emperor is very satisfied, and the order of Sakai-kun's promotion to admiral will be issued by His Majesty the Emperor himself in the near future, congratulations, Sakai-kun!" ”

When Sakai Juno heard this, he immediately said with a happy face: "Thanks to His Majesty the Emperor and His Excellency the Commander, who made a quick decision and formulated a detailed plan of action, his subordinates only acted in accordance with the orders of His Majesty the Emperor and His Excellency the Commander, and were able to capture all the Americans' Pacific Fleet, all thanks to His Majesty the Emperor's great fortune and the wisdom of His Excellency the Commander!" ”

Heihachiro Togo smiled and patted Juno Sakai on the shoulder and said, "Sakai-kun, you are still so good at talking. Walk! Let's take a look at the new warships of our Combined Fleet, and I can't wait. ”

Juno Sakai and a large group of senior officers of the Japanese Navy accompanied Heihachiro Togo to the top of the New York-class super dreadnought battleship Kennedy, the flagship of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet.

Originally, the Japanese had just relied on the funds of the Americans and began to build 6 Fuso-class super dreadnought battleships at the same time, which was the first super dreadnought battleship built by the Japanese. The combined fleet of the Japanese Navy will have to wait at least nearly 2 years to equip the super-dreadnought battleship, but this time it will be done against the US Navy's Pacific Fleet. The Japanese Navy instantly possessed 2 super dreadnought battleships, becoming the fourth country in the world to have super dreadnought battleships. The first three are the Chinese Empire, the United Kingdom and the United States, and even the German Navy, there are no super dreadnought battleships among the warships in service, and the German super dreadnought battleships are still in the dockyard and have not been completed.

Heihachiro Togo touched the huge muzzle of the 356 mm main gun of the Kennedy, and said to Juno Sakai: "Our Imperial Japan has captured 2 super dreadnought battleships this time, this one is the flagship of the original US Navy Pacific Fleet, and will become the new flagship of our Japanese Navy Combined Fleet, I am ready to let Sakai-kun serve as the captain of this new flagship, I don't know what Sakai-kun wants?" ”

Juno Sakai immediately said happily: "I can become the captain of the flagship of the Combined Fleet." It is Sakai's honor, and Sakai will certainly live up to the cultivation of His Excellency the Commander! ”

Heihachiro Togo, who was standing on the deck of the Kennedy, looked at the dense warships in the port of Yokohama at this time, nodded to Juno Sakai and said: "Then it is decided, Sakai-kun will quickly recommend a candidate for the captain of the Hanoi dreadnought battleship, and then get familiar with this super dreadnought battleship as soon as possible, our Japanese Navy Combined Fleet must digest these warships of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet as soon as possible before the main force of the Chinese Imperial Navy returns from the Arabian Sea." Transform into the power of our Combined Fleet. ”

Juno Sakai said with a smile: "According to the order of His Excellency the Commander, all the captured American warships, except for the captains of the 2 super dreadnought battleships, the other captured personnel on the American warships. We have made use of the abundant reserve personnel of the Combined Fleet and some officers and men drawn from the original Combined Fleet warships, and we have been able to replenish them in just two days. At present, all captured US warships are initially capable of combat. Even the main force of the Imperial Chinese Navy is now killed, and the combined fleet of our Imperial Japanese Navy also has the strength to fight. ”

Juno Sakai's words just fell. Suddenly, the piercing air defense siren sounded, and Togo Heihachiro, Sakai Juno, and a large group of senior Japanese naval officers suddenly changed their faces drastically, and at this time, one of the Japanese Navy Nakasa quickly ran in front of this group of senior Japanese naval officers and shouted loudly to Togo Heihachiro: "Report to Your Excellency Commander, an urgent telegram has been sent from the port of Yokosuka, a large group of Chinese Imperial fighters, flying over the sea near the port of Yokosuka, was discovered by our patrolling warships, the direction in which this group of Chinese Imperial fighters flew, It is our Yokohama port. ”

"What? Fighters of the Chinese Empire? How is this possible? The aircraft carriers of the Imperial Chinese Navy could not have been withdrawn from the Arabian Sea so quickly! ”

"Is it a small number of fighters of the Chinese Empire, in the waters near Japan, it is impossible for a large number of fighters of the Chinese Empire to appear!"

"Didn't they all say that it was a large group of fighters of the Chinese Empire? I don't think there will be a small number, otherwise my colleagues in the port of Yokosuka would not be called a large group, and we must now hurry up and prepare to meet the large number of warplanes of the Chinese Empire! ”

"If it weren't for the navy of the Chinese Empire and other aircraft carriers, that would be terrible!"

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and prepare air defense! Most of the warships of our Combined Fleet, as well as all the captured warships of the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet, are all in the port of Yokohama! ”

Hearing that the fighter planes of the Chinese Empire were flying towards the port of Yokohama, the senior officers of the Japanese Navy who were following Heihachiro Togo began to exclaim in surprise.

Heihachiro Togo's face immediately became nervous, where did the Chinese Empire fighter plane come out? However, now is not the time to dwell on these things, and Heihachiro Togo immediately ordered: "All officers immediately return to their command posts, and order all the combined fleet warships in the port of Yokohama to sail to the sea outside the port, with each main battleship as the center, and form an anti-aircraft fire network with other types of warships, and ensure the safety of the main battleship." ”

Juno Sakai said in a trembling voice beside him, "Commander, Yokohama Port...... Having a lot of new anti-aircraft guns and new anti-aircraft machine guns, isn't it...... Let the warships of our combined fleet stay in the harbor, and let the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns in the harbor provide anti-aircraft fire support for the warships of our combined fleet. ”

Heihachiro Togo shook his head and said: "If the warship stays in the port and does not move, it will definitely become the target of the Chinese Imperial fighters. Sakai-kun, you and I will stay on top of this super dreadnought battleship and meet the fighters of the Chinese Empire! ”

Juno Sakai hesitated for a moment and said: "Commander, you have the hope of our Imperial Japanese Navy, and now the situation of the Chinese Imperial fighters that suddenly appear is unknown, and the number is unknown, my subordinates suggest that Your Excellency the Commander should take refuge from the bombing of the Chinese Imperial Fighters in the port of Yokohama, and Your Excellency the Commander can use the radio station to command all the warships of the Combined Fleet in the port of Yokohama!" In addition, the commander can rest assured that there are subordinates who will definitely keep the safety of this super dreadnought battleship. ”

Heihachiro Togo let out a breath and said, "Then please Sakai-kun, let's use the radio station to communicate!" ”

Then Heihachiro Togo turned to another Japanese vice admiral and said, "Hashimoto-kun, you immediately go to the top of another super dreadnought battleship as a captain!" ”

"Hey! Commander! The named Japanese vice admiral shouted.

After Togo Heihachiro finished speaking, he hurriedly walked off the original New York-class super dreadnought battleship Kennedy, the flagship of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet, and other senior Japanese naval officers also left the Kennedy in a hurry.

The remaining Juno Sakai looked at several Japanese naval adjutants beside him, smiled bitterly and said: "Go to the bridge immediately, order the officers and men in the power compartment, start the boiler, ignite and boost, the fighters of the Chinese Empire are coming!" ”

Knowing that a large number of warplanes of the Chinese Empire were approaching the port of Yokohama, and almost all the warships in the port, under the order of the commander of the Combined Fleet, Heihachiro Togo, began to start sailing towards the sea outside the port of Yokohama, and chaos inevitably appeared in the panic, 1 Japanese had just captured a large fast armored cruiser of the US Navy, and when they turned around and moved out of the port, it may be that the officers and men of the Japanese Navy did not understand the performance of this large fast armored cruiser thoroughly enough, and did not control the speed and direction, It directly hit the back of the butt of the original Delaware-class dreadnought battleship of the US Navy, and suddenly hit the two propellers of the Delaware-class dreadnought, and then the Delaware-class dreadnought battleship was unable to move.
