The moment the fleet alarm sounded.

Heihachiro Togo rubbed it, stood up from his chair in an instant, grabbed his military hat, and walked quickly to the command bridge.

Opening the door of the captain's office, the sirens poured into my ears, the sea breeze howling on the seashore carried the pungent smoke of gunpowder, the sea in the distance was hazy, and there was no enemy in sight.

However, the constant alarm showed that this was not a false alarm of operational error, and when Heihachiro Togo walked into the bridge of the command ship, someone reported: "Report to the commander, there are suspicious ships in front of the left and right of the fleet." ”

"Is it a remnant of a Russian warship?" As soon as Heihachiro Togo opened his mouth, he shook his head and said, "Impossible, it is impossible for the Russian warship to still be here." ”

"It's still unclear, but the Asahi sent a message confirming that there is indeed an unknown warship ahead."

After receiving the information from the battleship Asahi, Heihachiro Togo confirmed that an unknown battleship had appeared in front of the Combined Fleet in a lateral voyage.

Directly in front of the position, unknown ships occupy the T-shape, and if it is really the enemy, then the combined fleet is at a disadvantage.

didn't have time to think about it, Togo Heihachiro gave the order without hesitation: "Order the combined fleet, the left full rudder." ”

However, as soon as Togo Heihachiro's words fell, a deafening roar was heard on the sea not far away.

"This is the battleship's main gun, immediately order the fleet to return fire......" Heihachiro Togo yelled very anxiously.

The roar of artillery from a distance was like a hammer hitting Togo Heihachiro's heart, and he knew very well that it was definitely not the Russian fleet.

In the entire Far East, there is only one person who is likely to make a move against the Japanese Combined Fleet under this circumstance, and that is Fan Yize.

There is no reason, the moment Togo Heihachiro heard the sound of the cannon, the first thing that came to mind was Fan Yize.

In fact, before the battle with the Russian fleet, Heihachiro Togo had already received information that the fleet under Fan Yize had left the East Indies.

However, Fan Yize's fleet, which was aimed at the Pacific Ocean, made him breathe a sigh of relief.

But the fact that the Combined Fleet is being attacked at this moment also fully shows that the breath of relief a few days ago was too early.

The roar of the dense main cannon in the distance made Togo Heihachiro's hands clenched together.

Judging the enemy's firepower density is very simple, and you can hear it in one round of attacks.

However, it was so simple to hear that it made Togo Heihachiro's heart sink to the bottom.

If you convert it into numbers, the cannon sound that Togo Heihachiro heard is converted into battleships, and they are almost all twelve.

The fire of the six dreadnought first-class battleships lying in front of the Japanese Combined Fleet, with a total of forty-eight 355-mm main guns, broke out at the same time, which had already exceeded the salvo fire of all the main warships of the Japanese Combined Fleet.

One battleship, four main guns, these main battleships that Japan purchased from the British, were also in this configuration.

In terms of the number of main guns alone, the number of main guns of a dreadnought first-class battleship is comparable to that of two Japanese battleships.

However, the main force of Japan's combined warships was only five battleships, Mikasa, Asahi, Fuji, Shikishima, and Hatsuse, and the Hachishima, which was originally part of the 66th Fleet, was struck by a mine and sank in the waters near Vladivostok when it blockaded Russia's 1st Pacific Fleet, and was removed from the Japanese Navy.

That is, the current Japanese Combined Fleet, with its main battleships, has only five battleships and six armored cruisers.

And in previous battles with the Russian Navy, two armored cruisers were already damaged, and four more were at service.

Under such circumstances, the Japanese Combined Fleet was actually the main ship group, and there were only nine warships that really had combat effectiveness.

In front of the Japanese fleet were six dreadnought first-class battleships, although there were three less, but the difference in actual combat effectiveness was definitely not something that could be measured by a simple number.

At this moment, although Togo Heihachiro had not yet "seen" the enemy, he already knew very well in his heart that the Japanese Combined Fleet was in danger.

The whistling shells were about to fall, and although Heihachiro Togo kept telling himself in his heart that this was the enemy's school firing, there was a voice roaring deep inside: "If the enemy is really a fleet under Fan Yize, then this is not a school firing." ”

The British gave Japan a lot of information about Fan Yize, among which the precision gunnery of the mysterious fleet under Fan Yize made all the surviving sailors of the British Far East Fleet fearful.

This characteristic naturally penetrates into the depths of Heihachiro Togo's heart.

In the sky, cannonballs with tracer light fell intensively, and among the Japanese Combined Fleet, which had no time to change its formation, columns of water more than ten meters high rose into the sky.

The battleship Mikasa became the focus of the attack, and most of the shells fell on the Mikasa with the further correction of the radar, following the most dense radio position.

There was a screech that was getting closer and closer, causing all the Combined Fleet commanders on the Mikasa to stand on end.

The next moment, violent shaking and explosions completely engulfed Mikasa.

The 15,000-ton Mikasa battleship was hit by five shells at the same time, and in the blink of an eye, the entire warship exploded on the sea.

There were 12 shells flying towards the Mikasa, and five of them were directly hit, and the hit rate was neither high nor low for the Red Guard Navy.

The flagship of the Japanese Combined Fleet, like a flash of fireworks, disappeared completely into the sea, and the remnants of the hull quickly sank into the sea.

Heihachiro Togo, the Japanese admiral who is about to ascend to the throne of the famous admiral of the historical navy, completely disappeared into the long river of history with the Mikasa.

The funeral was accompanied by 838 Japanese sailors on board, as well as a number of senior generals and staff officers of the Japanese Combined Fleet Command.

is about to ascend to the throne of a famous general, but it is like a flash in the pan, and Togo Heihachiro's talent and ambition are buried with the fire.

Under such an explosion, no one could survive the Mikasa, five 355 mm main gun shells, easily disintegrated the entire warship directly, plus the warship ammunition depot that exploded together, the battleship of more than 10,000 tons was shattered in an instant.

This kind of death is only a short moment, and even the people on the ship have not had time to experience the moment of death, and their consciousness has already disappeared at the first moment of the explosion.

Heihachiro Togo died unjustly at all, and there was no element of luck when the shell that hit Mikasa was hit by concentrated firepower.

The strength was doomed to the destruction of the Japanese Combined Fleet, and the death of Heihachiro Togo only opened the prelude to the destruction of the Combined Fleet.
