Three days later, Russia's 2nd Pacific Fleet joined up with three supply ships targeted by Japan and headed for the Tsushima Strait.

Although the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy has not yet found the specific location of the Russian fleet, it has already concluded that the Russian Second Pacific Fleet must be headed in the direction of the Tsushima Strait.

Heihachiro Togo then ordered the entire fleet to enter combat positions and prepare for the arrival of the Russian fleet.

Several auxiliary cruisers of the Japanese Combined Fleet were also looking for the exact location of the Russian fleet in the open sea.

After eight hours of searching, the auxiliary cruiser Shinano of the Japanese Combined Fleet finally found the Russian Combined Fleet in the early morning of the fourth day, and this news was also reported to the Combined Fleet Command as soon as possible.

With the exact location of the Russian Combined Fleet, Heihachiro Togo also took the Combined Fleet into action.

The morning sun rose, and the Japanese Combined Fleet, after a series of changing formations, appeared in the rear of the Russian fleet and began to stare at the advance of the Russian fleet.

The distance between the two sides slowly narrowed with the impetus of time, and by the morning, the fleets of the two sides could already see each other clearly.

This made the Russian Second Pacific Fleet very anxious and nervous.

From the morning, the Russian fleet knew that it was following the Japanese fleet, and the morning time brought great mental pressure to all the officers and men of the Russian fleet, and the morale of the already low was even lowered.

On the Duke Suvorov, the flagship of the Russian Second Pacific Fleet, the pressure on Rozdvinsky's heart is also increasing with the times.

The Japanese fleet, like a ghost, always hung over the Russian fleet, and in terms of speed, the Russian fleet had absolutely no possibility of getting out.

The time was approaching noon, and Rozdvinsky couldn't help but order the fleet, change the formation, and not continue to be stared at like this by the Japanese fleet.

The 1st and 2nd detachments of the 2nd Pacific Fleet of Russia, which received the order, began to accelerate, increasing from the original speed of only eight knots to eleven knots, overtaking the columns traveling by the fleet and reaching the front of the columns.

The issuance of this order made Togo Heihachiro wait for the best opportunity to attack.

Heihachiro Togo knew very well that the Russian Second Pacific Fleet, which was huge in Russia, would pose a great threat to the Japanese Combined Fleet if it was forced to attack, and the Russian fleet that maintained its formation.

In terms of the strength and firepower of the warships of both sides, the Japanese Combined Fleet did not have an advantage.

It can even be said that from the very beginning, Heihachiro Togo did not have much certainty of victory, at most a probability of fifty percent.

Otherwise, Heihachiro Togo would not need to follow the edge of the Russian fleet closely, in order to make it impossible for the Russian fleet to remain calm, move first.

It is impossible for the two war countries, the people on the Russian fleet, to ignore the Japanese fleet that is closely following behind, and the Russian fleet that is advancing, the Japanese fleet in the rear, judging from the formation, the Japanese fleet moves first, and can only fight the Russian fleet in front.

But if the Russian fleet moves first, it will be an opportunity for the Japanese fleet, because if the Russian fleet wants to change its formation, it must make one more U-turn.

The huge fleet of dozens of warships is not a reversal when it turns around, and it is very difficult to ensure that when it turns around to meet the Japanese fleet, it still maintains a complete formation.

It was this opportunity that Heihachiro Togo was waiting for, and this opportunity was also Heihachiro Togo's luck.

Because Heihachiro Togo doesn't know whether Russia will turn around in the end, and he doesn't know if the Russian fleet will make a U-turn and mess up the formation.

So it's luck, but sometimes luck is also a kind of strength.

Heihachiro Togo can hold his breath and wait for the Russian fleet to show its flaws, but the Russian fleet does not have the strength to let the Japanese combined fleet fart. strands followed.

Sometimes it seems like luck, but in fact, it is a lot of inevitability.

At this time, the distance between the fleets of the two sides was ten kilometers away, and the Russian fleet, which had changed formation, was in confusion half an hour after receiving the order.

The 1st and 2nd Fleets accelerated forward, but the other Russian Fleet, which was advancing in columns, did not slow down, causing the entire 2nd Pacific Fleet, whose formations were chaotic and intersected.

A large number of warships do not know for a while whether to slow down or accelerate, whether to turn or not.

In this era and environment, adjusting the fleet formation was not a simple matter, and it was not until an hour later that Rozdvinsky saw the chaotic fleet formation, and he tried to readjust the fleet formation.

However, the chaotic fleet, crossed and crisscrossed, and Rozdvensky, who did not have God's perspective, and did not have much command experience, did not have the right way to make the right adjustment at the first time.

The Japanese fleet, which had accelerated to the front of the Russian fleet, was also approaching within 10,000 meters, and the Russian fleet had not yet recovered its fleet formation in the past two hours.

In the confusion of the Russian fleet, it also carried out sporadic artillery bombardment on the approaching Japanese fleet, but the shells were still one or two kilometers away from the position of the Japanese fleet.

On the battleship Mikasa, the flagship of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Heihachiro Togo sent a signal to the whole fleet: "The rise and fall of the imperial kingdom will be fought here, and all members will work hard at all levels."

In order to obtain the best position for attack, the Japanese Combined Fleet sailed horizontally directly in front of the vanguard of the Russian fleet, making a huge U-turn directly in front of the Russian fleet.

Three minutes later, Rozdvensky, sensing Heihachiro Togo's intentions, hurriedly ordered the fleet to launch an attack on the Japanese fleet.

The Russian flagship, the Duke Suvorov, was the first to fire at the Japanese fleet.

The shells fell and exploded hundreds of meters away from the Japanese fleet, and the Japanese fleet, which was calm, just continued to move forward in silence and did not counterattack at the first time.

A few minutes later, the Japanese Combined Fleet finally came to the best position for attack, and the flagship of the Combined Fleet roared with the roar of an all-fleet attack.

At this time, the distance between the capital ships of the fleets of the two sides had been shortened to 6,000 meters, and the Japanese fleet was lying horizontally in front of the Russian fleet, which just formed a T-shaped firepower advantage.

The Russian fleet could only launch artillery attacks on the Japanese fleet in front, and the main guns in the bow could be used, while the main guns in the stern could not attack the Japanese fleet at all.

On the other hand, the Japanese warships, with their two main guns in front and rear, were able to attack the Russian fleet at the same time, and at this point, the Russian fleet completely fell behind.

The most important thing is that the attack of the Russian fleet did not pose much threat to the Japanese fleet at all, and the Russian shells fell at a distance from the Japanese warships, and the accuracy was pitifully low.
