The Rise of the Empire

"Damn it!" The arrival of the Essen fleet was really extraordinary. At this moment, the first battleship Asahi in the battle line was swept away from the deck immediately. The first ship, but the third ship Yakumo, the Essen fleet drew a circle on the sea, walking in front of the Makanov fleet, and then the heavy hammer composed of the toughest and hardest battleships in the Russian fleet It hit the Asahi armored cruiser.

From the perspective of Hikoyuki Uemura, the 13,000-ton Asahi armored cruiser is like a flat boat struggling in a violent storm. Countless flames exploded continuously on the side of the battleship. Underneath, no matter how strong the steel plate can bear it, the huge impact force and explosive force are transmitted backward through the steel plate. The hardened armor on the outside is still holding on, but the back plate inside has been shattered by the shock, and the willow connecting the armor plate The nails were also smashed one by one. Chunks of armor plate fell off the hull.

The best defense in the middle of the hull has been beaten like this, not to mention the armor of the guards. Thanks to the stability of the explosives, although the Russian shells are not capped, their armor-piercing ability is still a little stronger. The 3-inch-thick armor belt at the bow and tail of the Yakumo was directly punched into a honeycomb shape, and the cabins at the bow and tail of the entire battleship have been filled with seawater and can be used to raise fish. Although the armor box of the battleship should be designed to ensure that the battleship can float on the water even if the front and rear of the battleship are lost, but this time the water enters from the same side. And some parts of the armor box in the middle are also damaged....

"The Asahi is over! Yoshida Colonel is a hero." Uemura Hikozhicheng had mixed feelings in his heart. A battleship was shot to death like this, and Uemura felt a pain in his heart, but if the Asahi left, then the remaining armored cruisers must be even worse! In a disguised form, what the Asahi did saved their lives, at least delaying their defeat.

Just when the three fleets were fighting together, what was Dongxiang's main fleet doing? Naturally, he continued to happily hit the Russian armored cruiser behind! In fact, overall, the Russian fleet is still at a disadvantage. After a long period of fighting, the Makanov fleet was also exhausted. Even with the addition of the Essen fleet, its overall size was still inferior to that of its opponents, and there were too many Japanese destroyers.

"At most we can only destroy the Asahi, and then we have to consider evacuation. Obviously, we lost this battle. All we can do is to minimize losses while injuring the opponent as hard as possible." Makanov said in his memoirs wrote above.

What is the output of naval battle stations? When the quality of shells and RP shells are not considered, the output and accuracy are the focus. Obviously, the Japanese are obviously better than the Russian fleet in terms of overall projection volume and accuracy. The Russian fleet has already dealt with Asahi, but with At the same time, Togo Heihachiro's fleet also successfully killed one and injured the Pearl and Sapphire, which were at the end of Makanov's fleet. The Japanese were also crazy, and more than 30 torpedo boats swarmed up under the cover of the main fleet.

In the rain of bullets like a curtain, the last Russian destroyer was blown to pieces. In the torpedo array passing by, the Pearl, which had been severely damaged, was destroyed first, and then the Sapphire, which had not been focused on, was also destroyed. Disaster hit the fish pond, and a torpedo hit the stern of the hull. The violent explosion directly blew two propellers and a rudder into pieces, and it seemed impossible to run away.

"Let's go, the Japanese armored cruiser fleet has been beaten badly. They can't catch up with us. If they continue to fight, it will be over!" Essen said in a telegram to Makanov. If the Essen fleet could arrive yesterday with 4 Rurik-class battleships,

Then Makanov is really not afraid of opponents, but unfortunately, after a few hours late, the meaning is completely different. The current Essen fleet can only guarantee as much as it can save.

It's not that the Russians haven't tried hard, and the situation after the hard work is already obvious. When the Russian fleet killed one Japanese warship, the Japanese fleet could kill two Russian fleets! You can figure it out with your knees, and if you continue to fight, the Russian fleet must collapse. It is necessary to destroy the Japanese fast fleet, because they are faster and can entangle the Russian fleet and buy time for the main fleet behind. Therefore, when killing the Japanese fast fleet and severely injuring the other half, making these guys unable to chase after them, decisive flashing is the kingly way.

After the Asahi floated half-dead on the sea, under the leadership of the Essen fleet, the entire Russian fleet began to leave quickly, and the last batch of destroyers brought by Makanov bravely greeted it at this time, using their own Life gave the fleet a chance, but under such circumstances, the Japanese fleet managed to keep the third armored cruiser behind.

A 12-inch shell landed on the position of the steering gear of the armored cruiser Aurora, and the Japanese finally fired a morale shell throughout the battle. The violent explosion of the shell temporarily paralyzed the operating system of the entire battleship. Although there is still a theoretical manual steering, the Russians have no time and opportunity at all when they are surrounded by powerful enemies! The capital ship lost 3 to 7, this is the final result of this naval battle. As for the loss of the escort warships, it was almost 1 to 1. This was the result of the Japanese taking the initiative to launch multiple lightning strikes. Although there are capital ships providing fire cover, this kind of thing is desperate. People only saw the grand occasion when the destroyers killed the capital ships with a small force, but did not see more destroyers being directly beaten into dogs by heavy artillery.. …

The rest of the Russian fleet began to evacuate to the north at full speed, while the battleships of the Japanese fleet were at about the same speed as their opponents. It was already very difficult to catch up. The Russian fleet did not disperse, and it was difficult for them to be attacked even at night after grouping together. The destroyer force of the Japanese fleet is also attrition, and it is impossible to launch a night battle. Dongxiang Heihachiro could only watch the Russian fleet withdraw with a little regret, but there was nothing he could do.

"After this battle, we only have a theoretical chance to come back." Makanov looked at the three remaining warships behind him and shed tears of grief. In fact, Makanov cannot be blamed for this battle. In fact, when Prince Ruprecht learned of this situation, he even praised: Makanov, you are really NB. It is much better than those pig teammates in history. You must know that in the historical Tsushima naval battle, Russia's Second Pacific Fleet was almost wiped out, while Japan did not lose a single capital ship! Under the blow of the opponent's absolute superiority, Makanov was able to save less than half of the fleet and take away three Japanese warships by the way. This is definitely a super-level performance, okay?
