Thick black smoke rose from the chimney, and the warships of the Chinese Navy's home fleet detachment picked up speed and began to turn their rudder and turn to the right. The main guns of two battleships and three heavy cruisers were already aimed at the approaching Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy.

"Damn, the Chinese want to forcibly occupy the T-word. Accelerate, turn left 40 degrees! "The commander of the Russian Navy, Rear Admiral Vizofut, on the flagship" Nicholas I ", also gave the order to turn. The battle line, lined up with 6 Russian battleships, began to turn north. However, because the speed of the Russian battleships was relatively low, especially the maximum speed of the 'Cesme' was only 5 knots, the Russian battle line could only sail at this speed.

At 9:40 a.m., the Chinese detachment forcibly occupied the T-shape, and the battle line composed of five warships was in front of the Russian Pacific Fleet in a northwestward course, and the distance between the two sides was only 10,000 meters.

"Fire!" The gunnery officer on the battleship 'Sichuan' gave the order to open fire. The three twin 05-mm guns on the battleship "Sichuan" spewed out a cloud of orange-red flames from their muzzles, and six shells weighing more than 300 kilograms smashed into the flagship of the Russian Pacific Fleet, the "Nicholas I."

"Boom! Rumble! "The shells fell into the sea two or three hundred meters around the battleship 'Nicholas I', and exploded into the sky one after another. Immediately after, the battleship 'Xikang'. The heavy cruisers 'Xi'an', 'Xining', and 'Lanzhou' also opened fire one after another, all targeting the battleship 'Nicholas I', the flagship of the Russian army. The main ships of the Chinese Navy are one less than the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy, and it is best to try to damage or even destroy the Russian battleships as much as possible when they seize the T-shape, which will have great benefits for the next battle.

"Hell! The Chinese are actually able to fire at a distance of tens of thousands of meters, and they are so accurate, is there still a way to fight this battle? Major General Wizofert was secretly surprised. Although, the range of the naval guns of the Russian Navy is also capable of reaching tens of thousands of meters. But at this distance, they are already at a loss, and it is very impossible to hit the warships of the Chinese Navy, even if God forbids.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Dense shells exploded around the battleship 'Nicholas I', and the column of water rising from the sea even fell on the battleship, wetting all the decks of the battleship.

"Keep turning. Get ready to fight back! Rear Admiral Vizofort ordered. If it continues to be forcibly occupied by the Chinese Navy, it will be under such accurate shelling. It won't be long before the battleship Nicholas I will be shot. If the flagship is sunk, it will not only be a matter of one less battleship, but will also have a very big impact on the morale of the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy.

In fact, at the beginning of the naval battle, the morale of the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy was in a rapid decline. With the 'Nicholas I' shrouded in a rain of bullets, the soldiers of the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy were filled with fear. That's tens of thousands of meters away! At most, they can fight at a distance of five or six thousand meters, and at a distance of 10,000 meters. It's simply not possible. Originally, they thought they could fight evenly matched, but now, they are simply in the target of ravage!

The battleships of the fleet of the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy began to turn continuously, from sailing in the northeast direction before, to slowly turning to sailing in the northwest direction. I want to keep parallel to the Chinese Navy. However, the battle line of the Chinese Navy, which turned with the turn of the Russian Navy, always occupied the battle line. Moreover. The shelling is becoming more and more accurate, and if it continues like this, the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy will be finished.

"Order, all turn to the right and temporarily disengage from the Chinese Navy!" Admiral Vizofort ordered. Since you can't grab the T-word, simply distance the two sides to avoid being beaten passively now.

"Humph! Want to run? Run away? Accelerate to 7 knots, turn 60 degrees to the left, catch up, and continue to force the T-prefix! Major General Li Haitao ordered. He had just fired several rounds of volleys, but none of them could hit the target, which made him a little dissatisfied.

The battle line of the Chinese fleet drew an arc on the sea, quickly turned around, and pursued the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy. With a speed of 4 knots, at the point, it successfully caught up with the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy, and once again succeeded in forcibly occupying the T-shape.

At 0:00, the intense shelling began again. The target of the Chinese Navy's shelling is still the flagship of the Russian Navy's Pacific Fleet, the Nicholas I. It's just that this time the 'Nicholas I' didn't have so good luck, perhaps because it ran out of luck. At 22 o'clock, a 20-mm shell from the heavy cruiser 'Xi'an' hit the 'Nicholas I'. The place where it was hit, located in the stern of the ship "Nicholas I", because of the weak armor, even the main guns of the heavy cruisers of the Chinese Navy were enough to pose a mortal threat to the battleships of the Russian Navy. The shell lightly pierced the stern armor of the battleship Nicholas I, blowing a large hole. Fortunately, it did not hit the vital point, otherwise the "Nicholas I" would have been finished.

The Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy also began a counterattack. It's just that their shelling is really not flattering, and at a distance of tens of thousands of meters, the point of the bomb is completely out of the way by thousands of meters. There was no threat to the warships of the Chinese Navy.

In one of the rounds, a 05-mm shell hit the battleship "Nicholas I" again in a salvo of the battleship "Sichuan". This time it was the bow that was hit. The front main turret of the battleship Nicholas I was not of a piggyback design, but was placed side by side on the foredeck. This shell, where it hit, was the main gun on the left side of the foredeck. The armor-piercing bullet pierced the turret's armor and overturned the main gun. Fortunately, the shells of this main gun had been fired, and the ammunition depot had not been penetrated, otherwise the battleship "Nicholas I" would have died.

On the bridge of the battleship 'Nicholas I', Rear Admiral Vizofort's face was gloomy, the battleship 'Nicholas I' had already been hit twice, and if it weren't for luck, it would have been sunk long ago. In a state of passive assault that cannot be forcibly occupied, the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy will soon be completely wiped out. Rear Admiral Vyzofert, for the first time, regretted a little, going to sea to fight a decisive battle with the Chinese Navy seemed to be looking for death at all!

"Order the ships, turn 60 degrees to the left, target Vladivostok!" Rear Admiral Wizofert ordered. Now that we know that it is not the opponent of the Chinese Navy, there is no need to continue to fight, lest the whole army be annihilated.

After receiving the order, the ships of the Russian Pacific Fleet fleet immediately turned around, no longer entangled with the Chinese navy, and accelerated their voyage directly in the direction of Vladivostok, intending to escape back to Vladivostok. Without a doubt, this is a very wise choice. But now that they have gone to sea and are at war with the Chinese Navy, how can the Chinese Navy let the boiled ducks fly away?

"Want to run? It's not that easy! Speed up, catch up, and try to sink the Russian Navy before they escape back to Vladivostok! Lieutenant General Li Haitao ordered. The current location, which is 0 kilometers away from Vladivostok, will take more than three hours at the speed of the Russian Navy, and this is enough for the Chinese Navy to wipe out the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy.

At 2:04, the flagship of the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy, "Nicholas I", was hit again. In a salvo fired by the "Sikang", two 05-mm shells hit the "Nicholas I" and one hit the aft deck of the "Nicholas I", destroying the rear main guns. The second shell was a fatal blow. The battleship "Nicholas I" was hit near the waterline on the starboard side, the thin armor was pierced, and a large hole more than three meters wide was blown out, and the raging sea water poured into the battleship "Nicholas I", and the damage management personnel were simply unable to do anything about it.

As a last resort, Rear Admiral Vizofort had to transfer from the battleship "Nicholas I" to the battleship "Poltava" to continue directing the battle. The battleship Nicholas I, on the other hand, rolled on its side after only ten minutes, and then sank into the sea, leaving a huge whirlpool on the surface. Of the hundreds of Russian sailors on the battleship, more than two hundred escaped, and the rest sank to the bottom of the sea along with the battleship.

The fierce battle continued, and after sinking the "Nicholas I", the Chinese Navy aimed at the new flagship, the battleship "Poltava", and the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy, which was not an opponent at all, could only return fire aimlessly while accelerating towards Vladivostok.

At 5 o'clock, a 20-mm naval gun shell from the heavy cruiser 'Lanzhou' hit the bridge of the 'Poltava'. The bridge was only 200 millimeters of armor, and the light one was pierced. The shell exploded inside the bridge, killing everyone, including the commander of the Russian Pacific Fleet, Rear Admiral Vizofut. For a time, the entire Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy was leaderless.

The remaining captains, although they were able to take over as commanders, now they did not have the heart to direct the battle, and after the sinking of the battleship "Nicholas I" and now the heavy damage of the "Poltava", they no longer have the courage to continue fighting. 'Cesme', 'Twelve Apostles', 'Navarlin' and 'Sevastopol'. They turned around one after another, accelerated their flight towards Vladivostok, and the battle line collapsed at once.
