After the bombing of 3 large airships of the Northeast Air Force, the commander of the First Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy, Makarov, did not cry, even if he was stronger.

Slava, an all-steel battleship with a displacement of 13,500 tons and belonging to the First Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy, was flown overhead by the large airship Jupiter and dropped two 800-kilogram bombs, as a result of which both bombs hit Slava.

The Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus large airships did not use the method of dropping 4 bombs every 1 second interval, first, because the number of 800 kg bombs loaded by the three airships was not much, and each large airship was only loaded with 30 bombs, and second, because the warships of the First Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy were in a mine array, and it was not so easy to dodge the bombs, so dropping 2 bombs at a time was enough for the warships of the First Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy to bear.

One bomb of the Jupiter large airship penetrated the 76 mm thick armor of the Slava deck, and the explosion in the hull caused a sky-high fire, and the other bomb also penetrated the deck armor, but this bomb then penetrated two layers of steel plates, and penetrated the ammunition compartment of one of the main gun shells of the Slava before exploding, and the power of the explosion of hundreds of 305 mm shells blew the Slava into two at once, and sank to the bottom of the Ussuri Bay with more than 600 Russian naval officers and sailors of the whole ship.

The Borodino-class all-steel battleship Salantov was also flown overhead by the large Jupiter airship*, dropping two 800-kilogram bombs, both of which also hit the Sarantov.

One bomb blew up one of the Sarantov's twin batteries of 40 times caliber 305 mm main gun turrets, and another bomb pierced the 76 mm armor in the bow of the ship and penetrated two more layers of steel plates. It only exploded after falling in the torpedo launch compartment, and as a result, dozens of 381-mm torpedoes exploded along with it. The bow of the Salantov was blown to pieces, and it didn't take long for the Sarantov to sink into the sea. Of the more than 600 Russian naval officers and sailors on the warship, only more than 200 escaped, floating on the sea and waiting for rescue.

The Borodino-class all-steel battleship Eagle was very unlucky, and successively dodged two 800-kilogram bombs dropped at it by the large airship Saturn, and the Russian naval officers and men on the Eagle were cheering and rejoicing, but they were dodged by the bombs, and the Borodino, the lead ship of the same class of all-steel battleships, collided.

The bow of the Borodino suddenly crashed into the side of the Eagle, and the armor below the surface of the Eagle hit a large hole of nearly 10 meters. The Russian officers and men on the Eagle tried their best to keep the Eagle tilting more and more, but in the end the Eagle rolled over and sank to the bottom of the sea, and most of the Russian officers and sailors on the ship did not escape.

It turned out that the Borodino, which sank the Eagle, accelerated and turned and changed direction when the airship flew overhead, and finally dodged the two 800-kilogram bombs dropped by the Uranus, but it also involved his teammates and dodged the bombs. The bow of the ship plunged into the side armor of the Eagle.

When the captain of the Borodino saw this situation, he did not faint, and immediately ordered the Borodino to reverse with a pale face, and then the Borodino reversed frantically. It broke away from the Eagle, but its stern crashed into the side of the Joan of Arc-class large fast armored cruiser Valentina, which was dodging airship bombs, opening a large elongated hole in the armor in this surface position. The captain's face of the Borodino is green, what is the situation? He quickly ordered the warship to move forward again. Detach from the warship that was hit.

After the Valentina broke away from the Borodino, the raging sea water poured into the ship's hull. Although the Valentina was not bombed by airships again, shortly after the three airships left after dropping bombs, the Russian naval officers and sailors on the warship were not successfully rescued because of too much water, and the captain of the Valentina had to order to abandon the ship, after which the Valentina slowly sank into the sea.

The crazy performance of the Borodino is not over, it hit 2 of its own warships in a row, after the airship dropped the bomb, when it was evacuated, the large Uranus airship flew over the head of the Borodino, Borodino thought that the Uranus large airship was going to drop bombs on it, and it was another acceleration turn and change direction, as a result, the Uranus large airship ignored it because the bombs were all thrown, and continued to fly in the direction of Russian Island.

And the Borodino, which accelerated and turned and changed direction, knocked over a Russian Navy protective cruiser next to it directly into the sea, this 4,100-ton displacement originally escaped the bombardment of the airship, and the unscathed protective cruiser sank to the bottom of the sea not long after.

In addition, most of the Valentina, which had just collided, had sunk into the sea at this time, and the captain of the Borodino finally couldn't bear it, and he smashed three of his own warships in a row and fainted.

The Borodino all-steel battleship has also been famous in the world navy since then, and it can sink an all-steel battleship with a displacement of 13,500 tons, a large fast armored cruiser with a displacement of 11,092 tons, and a protective cruiser with a displacement of 4,100 tons in such a short period of time, with a total displacement of 30,000 tons, which can be described as rare.

In addition, the 12,912-ton Letvizan-class all-steel battleship, the lead ship, was hit by two 800-kilogram bombs dropped by the large airship Saturn, one of which hit, this bomb penetrated the 76 mm deck armor, drilled into the power compartment and detonated 10 boilers, and almost one-third of the bottom of the Letvizan ship. Before the airship could evacuate to Russky Island, the Retvizan had already sunk into the sea, and many of the 521 Russian naval officers and men on the warship escaped, and more than 400 jumped ship to escape and floated on the sea waiting for rescue.

The all-steel battleship Grunia of the same class as the Letvizan was hit by two 800-kilogram bombs of the large airship Uranus, two bombs were like divine help, one bomb drilled into the ammunition compartment of a main gun shell in the ship, detonating hundreds of 305 mm shells, and the other bomb drilled into the ammunition compartment of a secondary artillery shell in the ship, detonating hundreds of 152 mm shells inside, the fate of the Grunia was self-evident, it was blown into three pieces, and soon sank into the sea, None of the 521 Russian naval officers and sailors on board the warship were able to escape, even those who jumped into the sea to escape were also sucked into the bottom of the sea by the whirlpool created by the sinking of the ship.

The Joan of Arc-class all-steel battleship Capitolina was dropped by an 800-kilogram bomb from the large airship Saturn to a position of about 3 meters on the side of the warship, forming a near-miss bomb, tearing a large hole of more than 6 meters in the side waterline armor of the Capitoline, and finally the Capitoline, which entered the water strictly, overturned and sank into the sea, and the Russian naval officers and sailors on the warship were killed because of the captain's timely order to abandon the ship, and the rest were floating on the sea in lifeboats waiting for rescue.

The Petropavlovsk-class ironclad battleship Sevastopol with a displacement of 9,000 tons was hit by an 800-kilogram bomb from the Jupiter large airship, which penetrated the deck armor and landed near the ammunition compartment of a main gun shell, and the explosion of the bomb detonated hundreds of 254-mm shells in the ammunition compartment, and after a violent explosion, the warship with a displacement of 9,000 tons sank to the bottom of the Ussuri Bay with 651 Russian naval officers and sailors.

There is also a relatively unlucky warship in the Russian Pacific First Fleet, the old ironclad Admiral Apraksin of the Admiral Ushakov class, although it successfully evaded the bombing of the airship when dodging the bomb, it hit a mine laid by the Russian Navy itself, and sank into the sea because of the flooding.

The First Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy was sunk or accidentally damaged by 3 airships of the Northeast Air Force in 20 minutes, 5 all-steel battleships, 2 large fast armored cruisers, 1 ironclad battleship and 1 old ironclad ship, in addition to 5 protective cruisers that followed the port of Vladivostok sank 2 ships, and 1 torpedo boat was sunk by bombs.

Most of the remaining warships were also wounded, and the flagship Borodino-class all-steel battleship Duke Suvorov was flown overhead by a large airship Saturn and dropped two 800-kilogram bombs, one of which hit the target, blowing up a double-mounted 40-caliber main gun turret of Duke Suvorov, causing Duke Suvorov to lose half of its main gun firepower and ignite a fire, but the fire was soon stopped.

The all-steel battleship Alexander III of the same class was flown overhead by the large airship Uranus and dropped two 800-kilogram bombs, as a result of which one bomb hit the Alexander III, which pierced the deck armor and blew up several steam engine pipes in the ship's hull, reducing the speed of the Alexander III from 18 knots to less than 15 knots.

The Lutvizan-class all-steel battleship Ustin was flown overhead by the large airship Jupiter and dropped two 800-kilogram bombs, one of which fell on the warship, penetrating the deck armor and exploding in the hull, allowing the Ustin to enter a lot of seawater, and when the Russian naval officers and sailors on the warship controlled the danger, the Ustin had carried more than 2,000 tons of seawater, and the speed dropped to 14.5 knots.

The other surviving warships were also wounded, but none of them were serious, but the entire Russian Navy's First Pacific Fleet had lost more than half of its strength. (To be continued......) R1292
