The city center behind the port of Vladivostok, inside the lively fortress of Vladivostok, is the most prosperous Russian military city in the Far East.

Tonight, most of the officers of the Russian Pacific Fleet attended a banquet in Vladivostok to celebrate the naming day of the wife of the commander of the Pacific Fleet, Admiral Stark.

In the lively banquet hall, the well-dressed Russian naval officers danced with their sister paper in their arms, listened to music, and tasted fine wine, which was very lively and joyful.

At this moment, six Japanese destroyers had already taken advantage of the darkness of the night to lurk on the edge of the Pacific Fleet's outer harbor where the Russian Navy was defenseless.

In the darkness of the night, more than a dozen torpedoes were fired towards the Russian warships, and the shrewd Japanese Navy, from the very beginning, aimed at the four most combat-ready warships of the Russian Pacific Fleet.

The Russian sailors on board were completely defenseless, and a dozen torpedoes, completely undetected, hit two battleships and two armored cruisers with the strongest combat effectiveness.

The violent explosion resounded throughout the sea, and the frightened Russian Navy soldiers, completely unaware of what was happening, and even less aware that war had come.

The battleship Chaisarevich in the Pacific Fleet, hit two torpedoes, sat on the shoal of the outer harbor at an angle. The sister ship, the battleship Leviran, had a similar fate, although it was only hit by a torpedo, but it was also sunk in the outer harbor.

The two armored cruisers Parada and Varyaga that were taken care of were all out of combat effectiveness, and the seriously tilted battleship, if it was to be repaired, it was impossible in a short time.

The Russian Pacific Ocean lost four of its most powerful warships in an instant, and the Russian naval soldiers, who were still at a loss, could only look at the four sunken warships with a bewildered expression.

In the Pacific Fleet, the high-ranking warships are all at the banquet in the city, what can they do?

The Russian Army soldiers on the shore of Vladivostok also heard the movement, and thought that the navy had had an accident again, and looked at the navy warships in the distance as if they were watching the excitement.

The naval officers at the banquet in Vladivostok also heard the explosion in the distance, and the rhythm of the banquet naturally stopped, after all, they were all officers, how could they ignore the sound of explosions.

Admiral Stark, the commander of the fleet, immediately sent someone to find out the situation, but got a rather painful answer, it was just an accident.

As a result, the banquet continued as usual, and these bureaucratic Russian officers, too, left the explosion behind and continued to have the paper and wine in front of them.

On the other hand, looking at the successful sneak attack on the Japanese Combined Fleet, the excited Togo Heihachiro directly ordered the fleet to press forward at full speed and destroy the combat effectiveness of the Russian Pacific Fleet as much as possible.

At this moment, the Russian Navy, which still did not know that it was attacked, ushered in a real attack by the Japanese Combined Fleet in a daze.

All the cutting-edge warships purchased by Japan from Britain were dispatched, and the main guns of 305 mm caliber roared at the same time, dragging tracer shells, falling like a tsunami, and rumbling explosions resounded in the Russian Pacific Fleet.

No matter how stupid you are, you should know that this is an enemy attack.

However, the Russian Pacific Fleet has lost all its opportunities, not to mention the current Pacific Fleet, where all the officers are happy in the city, leaving a bunch of scattered sand and completely inactive.

The sailors on the Russian ship, all in a mess, did not know what to do at all.

The first round of tracer rounds was followed by the second round of shelling, after adjusting the trajectory.

The Japanese Navy's extensive live-fire training has been fully utilized, and the most important thing is that the targets on the opposite side are all parked motionless in the outer harbor, which is easier than shooting targets.

For a time, the warships of the Russian Pacific Fleet suffered one after another, and most of the warships sank directly into the outer harbor.

Heihachiro Togo, who accepted it when he saw it, soon ordered the fleet to retreat.

Everything was contrary to Togo Heihachiro's expectations, and the powerful image of the Russian Navy collapsed in his heart.

Before the sneak attack, Heihachiro Togo was ready to compete with the Russian Navy, and as a result, his reaction ability was slower than the speed of a turtle, and there was no pressure at all in the fight.

When the news came from Incheon, the entire Japanese Combined Fleet immediately cheered.

The mighty Russian Pacific Fleet was wiped out in this way.

It's as easy as picking up something.

After dawn the next day, the Russian Pacific Fleet learned that it was the Japanese Combined Fleet that had attacked the Pacific Fleet, and all the main warships of the Pacific Fleet were wiped out.

Admiral Stark, who was the commander of the Pacific Fleet, and most of the senior generals of the Pacific Fleet, naturally could not escape the wrath of Nicholas II.

When Fan Yize received a detailed battle report on the successful sneak attack of the Japanese Combined Fleet, the Russian Navy was planning to salvage the sunken warship, and if it could be repaired, it could recover a little loss.

But in Fan Yize's eyes, Russia is already doomed to failure, compared to the Japanese's unity, the whole country's efforts, and ten years of preparation, the performance of the Russians can be described as unsightly.

A truly powerful army is mainly in people, and no matter how advanced the weapons and equipment are, in the hands of a group of bureaucrats, it will not be able to exert its combat effectiveness.

In Fan Yize's view, if Nicholas II can replace the so-called senior generals who pat him on the back every day, the Russian army may still be saved.

Unfortunately, without these sycophant generals, Nicholas II would not have been able to secure the throne of the emperor.

The Russian army is full of connections, bureaucratic erosion, and so-called royal family members, most of the senior generals have no real talent at all, and only a few exist like a few of them, which can barely be regarded as a clear stream in the Russian army.

Nicholas II himself knew this, but he was powerless to change it. And as the Russian monarch, he is very confident, no country can defeat Russia.

Defeat was no accident, and Japan's victory was not entirely a matter of luck.

Fan Yize knows very well that with the current state of the Russian army, Japan will inevitably achieve victory, just like history.

It's a pity that Fan Yize won't let Japan win easily, otherwise how could he be a fisherman.

After the destruction of the Russian Pacific Fleet, Japan has successfully seized sea supremacy, and the next thing is to land in Korea.

This is the core focus of this war, to put it bluntly, both Russia and Japan want to turn Korea, a semi-colonial country, into a real colony, so that the ruling dynasty of Korea will completely step down, and completely disintegrate the Korean army and resistance.
