Will the Russians let go of the "sinful" assault ship because they estimate the capture? The answer, of course, is no! In the Russian concept of warfare, the Russians do not consider too many prisoners in their battle plans unless they are extremely specific, but this does not mean that the Russians will not minimize the casualties of their prisoners. By giving in, Ul Basha had already rescued some of his people, but he really had no intention of letting go of the Japanese assault ship!

That's right. It is true that all the main and secondary guns cannot quickly enter combat readiness in a short time, and many crew members do walk on the deck. It can be said that the Tatars' artillery is indeed unable to attack Asami, but it does not mean that there are no other means of attack to attack! Torpedoes, for example!

Just as the Japanese were letting their guard down, the Tatar quickly accelerated and aimed its bow at the side of the Asami when the distance between the two sides was less than 800 meters! Immediately, a round thing made a white trail under the surface of the sea! A 14-inch torpedo burst out of the torpedo tube in the bow of the Tatar! The white track, which heralded death, caught the Japanese by surprise, and at the same time the Russian prisoners of war above!

Half a minute later, the torpedo hit the rear of the hull of the Asami, accompanied by the triggering of the warhead of the 14-inch torpedo, the rear half of the entire battleship was dragged out of the water by a strong force, the whole battleship for a while, accompanied by a burst of metal breaking and explosion sounds, the rear of the battleship was completely shut down after slamming on the sea, the tail first entered the water, and then the bow, the sudden change surprised everyone, and the Japanese sailors at this time could not organize to resist or slaughter the prisoners, They frantically fought for life jackets and lifeboats, and at this time escape became their only goal, as for whether the Russian battleship next to them could let them escape to heaven, they didn't even think about it!

"Rescue the Russians who fell into the water, as for the Japanese? Only the dead Japanese are the good Japanese. Urbasha sneered. Urbasha was very satisfied with his clever plan, which saved the lives of Russian prisoners of war as much as possible, and sent the Japanese to hell. Listen to the sound of gunfire and machine guns resounding across the sea. Urbasha nodded in satisfaction, and after rescuing the last Russian alive on board, the Tatar headed for its next destination.

However, Urbasha still missed one point, that is, he had been entangled with Asami for too long, and this time. It was enough for Asami to inform the other attacking ships of the information. And other raiding ships can also relay the information to the land, and finally to the hands of Akiyama Shinyuki! Of course, this is already 1 day later.

It's hard for Akiyama to describe how he felt when he got the telegram, frustrated, scared, glad or excited? It's like knocking over a five-flavor bottle. All kinds of feelings welled up from the bottom of my heart. Needless to say, frustration and fear naturally come out of the outcome of the attack on the Sea of Japan that he had planned, and if he was chased and intercepted by the opponent's fast warships without defense, there would not be many ships that could escape. To some extent, the curtain has fallen on the Sea of Japan. Soon. The Russian Navy, which has its hands free, is about to attack them!

However, the losses of the attack fleet in the Sea of Japan were not without benefit at all, at least on the surface the Russians acted! Sometimes the real fight is not terrifying, the horror is the waiting before the fight, the ignorance of the battle situation and the moment of waiting for death are the hardest. Intelligence, the incoming battleship was a new ship that had never appeared before, which means that the Russians had replenished the battleship by other means. Judging by the description, this was supposed to be a second-class protected cruiser of the Armstrong type. Similar to Yoshino Takasago, but stronger than both.

The person who sent the information didn't know the identity of the battleship, but Akiyama was able to get a glimpse of the battleship from the comprehensive information. First of all. It is impossible for the British to sell the battleship to the Russians, and this foreign trade version of the second-class cruiser must have changed hands. And not many countries that have ever purchased Armstrong second-class protective cruisers. Europe doesn't have to think about it, the French and Germans haven't bought it, Italy has bought it but it will definitely not sell it to Maozi. Then the biggest possibility is Argentina, Brazil and Chile in South America, which have bought no less than half a dozen Armstrong-type protective cruisers. Combined with the tonnage and ultra-high speed of the modified warship. The answer is already on the horizon!

"It should be the 4,000-ton protective cruiser in Chile." Akiyama was quick to make a judgment. On the one hand, because the performance of the ships is extremely close, and on the other hand, there is the habit of Chileans to exchange old ships for new ones. Chile has done this kind of business before, it was done with the Japanese, and that's how the Izumi came about! The speed and firepower of the ship are still very good. At least for its tonnage, it's good, although the decisive battle is not good. But the ability to sweep the sea is no worse than pretending to patrol!

"Since the Russians are using the newly purchased warships against our Hokkaido raiders, they should now be able to free up about two warships to deal with us. It's just that I don't know if it's those two warships! Hikonojo Uemura on the side said in a low voice.

"The problem is actually not serious, if it is two armored cruisers of the Sea of Azov, we can not only protect ourselves, but also annihilate them. If it's a Russian and an Azov, we should be able to get to a draw, and if it's a prince and a Russian, we can at least evacuate with speed. "Relatively speaking, Hikonosei Uemura is still very optimistic about the battle situation.

"What if there are other warships? Let's say that the battleship purchased from Chile went into the Pacific, or that the Russians bought a second or even a third battleship? Akiyama asked.

"The speed of more than 20 knots and the guarantee of a certain amount of defense and firepower, the tonnage should not be too large, because those real 10,000-ton armored cruisers are too eye-catching. It is impossible for the Russians to do a drop of water without revealing it. As for the remaining battleships? The threat to us is not very great, and we will withdraw if it is a big deal. As you know, before the fleet set off, the Admiralty repeatedly reminded us not to break the ship! Uemura said heavily, in his eyes, the lives of those army horse manure are far less valuable than these two armored cruisers costing nearly 2 million pounds!

"That being said, but we still have to go through it, let's go to the landing site first to see the situation, if we can help, we can help, and then we will search for the Russian attack ships, they are the henchmen of the Japanese Empire, and the supplies on one ship are enough for a division for a month." The thought of those transport ships that disappeared into the sea made Akiyama Shinyuki's flesh ache. Japan must rely on sea lines of communication to fight, otherwise, even its own survival will be a problem! At this time, Akiyama Mayuki couldn't help but be envious, jealous and hateful to the big country next to him!
