The remnants of the British Navy's Eastern Fleet and the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet finally stayed up until dark, after which the British Navy Commander Bridget immediately ordered the surviving warships of the British and Japanese navies to retreat to the east, preparing to take advantage of the darkness to withdraw directly to the Japanese mainland.

In the battleship bombardment one hour before dark, only the Northeast Navy's German-class all-steel battleship Xuande was more unlucky, and was hit by a 305-mm shell from the British, which penetrated the waterline armor of the bow of the ship and exploded near the torpedo launch bay, detonating dozens of 450-mm torpedoes in the torpedo launch bay, and suddenly blowing up the bow of the Xuande to pieces, and disappeared into the sea after not holding out for long.

However, the Xuande was also the biggest result achieved by the British Navy's Eastern Fleet and the Japanese Navy's combined fleet before dark, and the Northeast Navy did not suffer a loss, and exchanged the Xuande for 5 all-steel battleships, which was still worth the deal.

In the bridge of the all-steel battleship Yade, the flagship of the Third Fleet, Jiang Hui, the commander-in-chief of this naval battle, saw that the battle line of the British Navy's Eastern Fleet and the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet suddenly made a "U" shaped turn, and accelerated directly to the east. A number of warships sailed to the Wild Boar River wharf to shell the Japanese transports there and the Japanese army that had landed.

The warships of the Northeast Navy sent to bombard the Wild Boar River Pier had 5 battleships and 12 anti-aircraft fast protection cruisers, which was enough for the Japanese landing army to eat a pot.

The officers and men of both sides who fell into the water because of the sinking of the warship have already been rescued by other warships on both sides, so there is no need to worry about salvaging the people who have fallen into the water.

Then the naval battle turned into a big pursuit at night, and many of the main warships of the Northeast Navy were equipped with radars, so although it was already dark, the Northeast Navy did not follow the remnants of the British Navy's Eastern Fleet and the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet like a headless fly.

However, the warships of the Northeast Navy actually do not have the ability to engage in long-distance battles at night, and the naval gun sights that Lin Daxin transported from the future time and space are not infrared, and they cannot find the target to attack at night, and they can only rely on the searchlights on the warship at night to carry out artillery bombardment on targets within 1,500 meters, unless the other party makes the warship brightly lit and looks for it by itself.

Jiang Hui ordered the Northeast Navy to pursue, hoping to keep the damaged warships of the British Navy's Eastern Fleet and the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, especially those that had dropped a lot, to expand the results of the battle as much as possible.

So the warships of the British Navy's Eastern Fleet and the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet found that there were lights behind their buttocks, and they knew that they were warships of the Northeast Navy.

However, in the end, the results of the Northeast Navy's pursuit were somewhat unsatisfactory, the Northeast Navy only caught up with 3 large fast armored cruisers of the British Navy that were seriously injured, but it cannot be said that they were caught up, these 3 large fast armored cruisers of the British Navy were seriously injured after they were left behind, and their hulls were leaking strictly, which made the ship loaded with a lot of seawater, and the speed dropped greatly, and it was difficult to escape back to Japan, so the three large fast armored cruisers of the British Navy took the initiative to stay and break off. Allow the rest of the British Navy to escape the pursuit of the Northeast Navy.

In addition, there are 2 wounded British Navy fast protection cruisers, also bravely left behind, and these 5 British warships all took the initiative to ask the British Navy Commander Bridget to stay and break off, I have to say that although the British Navy was defeated, there are still many places worthy of praise.

The Japanese were relieved to see that there were British warships as heroes, and they quickly increased their horsepower and fled to the east, for the sake of the friendship between Japan and Britain, this opportunity to be heroes will be given to the British, and we Japanese will encourage you spiritually!

After a short and fierce battle, 5 British warships like Don Quixote were all sunk, during which the Northeast Navy ordered several British Navy warships to surrender, but they were refused, 3 British Navy seriously injured large fast armored cruisers and 2 wounded British Navy fast protection cruisers fought to the last moment, when they were all sunk, and even the entire Northeast Navy pursued the officers and sailors on the warship, and saluted the sunken British warship, Subsequently, the surviving British naval officers and sailors of the five British warships were salvaged, and the warships pursued by the Northeast Navy began to return home, giving up the pursuit, and being blocked by the five British warships, it was impossible to catch up with the fleeing British Navy's Eastern Fleet and the Japanese Navy's combined fleet.

The Northeast Navy, which had won a difficult naval battle and won a difficult naval battle, began to sail to the port of Vladivostok, and some of the seriously damaged warships even had to return to the Lushun naval base and enter the Dalian shipyard for repairs.

The five battleships and 12 fast-defending cruisers of the Northeast Navy not only bombarded the stranded Japanese transport ships, but also shelled the beaches near the Wild Boar River wharf, and many Japanese army officers and men who had not yet come and retreated inland were killed by the large-caliber naval guns on the warships, especially the 305-millimeter giant shells. All the internal organs were shattered.

After Oyama Iwa, commander of the Japanese Northern China Dispatch Army, counted the reinforcements sent by the transport ship, he found that there were less than 85,000 of the original 100,000 reinforcements, only 35,000 of the 40,000 officers and men of the 33rd and 34th Divisions, and nearly 20,000 were killed in the sneak attack by submarines at sea and the shelling of the beach near the Wild Boar River Pier by the Northeast Navy.

After the remnants of the British Navy's Eastern Fleet and the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet returned to the Sasebo naval base on the Japanese mainland, the details of the naval battle that broke out in the waters near the Wild Boar River pier spread all over the world, and almost everyone who knew the outcome of the naval battle was a little dumbfounded, and the mighty British Navy was defeated.

And the Northeast Navy, which has made many countries hate itchy, has once again won a big victory, and it is also a victory over the world's naval hegemon.

The number of warships of the British Navy's Toho Fleet and the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet returning to Sasebo Naval Base was much smaller than when they set off, and everyone could see at a glance how heavy the losses of the entire British Navy and the Japanese Navy were in the escort fleet.

The Eastern Fleet of the British Navy lost the all-steel battleships HMS India, HMS Hood, HMS Ramie, HMS Royal Oak, USS Asterisk, HMS Ocean, HMS Glory, HMS Revenge, HMS England, USS Centurion.

The loss of the ironclad battleships Teuton, Mitchell, Meteor, Waldo, Zibelo, and Striker resulted in the sinking of a total of 16 battleships, as well as 12 large fast armored cruisers of the British Navy, 17 new protective cruisers, 16 new destroyers, and 38 torpedo boats that did not return to the Sasebo naval base on the Japanese mainland.

In addition, among the 10 all-steel battleships of the British Navy that escaped back, the Sovereign, the Dreadsome, the Hannibal, the Caesar, and the Pavrel, and 5 all-steel battleships were also not lightly injured, after this naval battle, although the huge losses did not make the British Navy lose their place in the world's total naval displacement, but it also definitely made the British Navy break its muscles and bones, and the loss of so many warships, especially the loss of so many main warships, could not be made up for in a short time.

Although the Japanese combined fleet did not have as many warships as the British who joined the escort fleet, the total losses had already made the Japanese want to cry without tears, and the Japanese participated in the escort fleet with 16 all-steel battleships, 6 fast-protection cruisers, and 18 torpedo boats, and now only 5 all-steel battleships Fuji, Kongo, Kirishima, Suzuya, and Hyuga, as well as 1 fast-protection cruiser and 3 torpedo boats, among which Kirishima and Suzuya were seriously damaged.

The Japanese Navy, which had worked hard for several years to develop, suddenly almost returned to the pre-liberation period, which shocked the entire Japanese high-level.

When the Emperor Meiji of Japan learned of the tragic situation of the Combined Fleet, he immediately wept bitterly and said to Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi: "Woo! Finished! It's all over! After this naval battle, our sea supremacy almost fell into the hands of the Northeast Navy, what should be done with the North China Dispatch Army and the South Korean Army that landed in the Far Eastern Province? Without the support of the local people, defeat is a matter of time! ”

Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi frowned and pondered for a long time and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, it's not over yet, although this naval battle has caused heavy losses to our combined fleet and the British navy, but the Northeast Navy has also suffered a lot of losses, and the British are the overlords of the world's navy, so they can send another large fleet to our Japan." You must know that the British have suffered such a large naval loss this time, I believe that the British will definitely retaliate. ”

When Emperor Meiji heard this, he stopped crying, and immediately said: "Ito-kun, then you should contact the British quickly, yes, we have signed an agreement with the British, and their navy will escort our Japanese convoy during the war." ”R1152
