Chapter 372 The Destruction of the Combined Fleet

No matter how big the armored cruiser is, Dudanfa and Mo Shuxin Liufeng are in armor protection, because the largest caliber main gun of the Japanese Navy's armored cruiser cannot penetrate important parts of the battleship, it will not be able to pose a fatal threat to the battleship.

Originally, the original intention of the armored cruiser was to avoid the battleships in Du, but what Xuan did encounter was a battleship with Du like an armored cruiser?

This battle cannot be fought! The first team of the Emperor Qin Navy relied on his thick skin and thick flesh, approaching the second team of the Japanese Navy, in front of the strong millimeter main gun. All armored cruisers were paper tigers.

The second Japanese Navy, led by the flagship "Izumo", fought against the three heavy cruisers of the Emperor Qin Navy. Although it was covered in scars, it still maintained its combat formation. However, when the first and fifth battleships of the Emperor Qin Navy joined the battle, the second Japanese Navy was obviously a little panicked. The formation immediately became chaotic.

There is no way, in front of the main gun of the Emperor Qin Navy battleship, any strong millimeter shell will cause serious damage to the Japanese Navy armored cruiser. It is not a myth even if a shell sinks a large armored cruiser.

Therefore, the six armored cruisers of the second Japanese Navy's Navy's second team immediately changed their courses and dodged left and right to avoid them.

In this way, Lieutenant General Nora Harunashi's plan to ensure that the second team maintains the maximum side firepower output as a whole was ruined. On the contrary, due to the incoordination of each ship, his command failed.

The Japanese Navy, which had already lost its radio command, now the Second Team only relied on old-fashioned flags to guide and issue orders. Due to the fierce attacks of the three heavy cruisers of the Emperor Qin Navy, artillery fire was everywhere and thick smoke covered the surroundings for a long time, which greatly increased the difficulty of flags and command.

On the Pangu battleship, the fleet commander General Lin Jianzhang had left the commander's tower and came to the second-floor bridge to look at the second-tier Japanese Navy team.

Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Xu Zhiwang said: "It seems that if you want to force the Japanese Navy to completely collapse and give up resistance, you must first sink their flagship Izumo and Sink!"

General Lin Jianzhang nodded and said, "The war is settled! The Japanese invaders were annihilated by Jin! They are making the final resistance. However, sinking their flagship may have unexpected results.

It can be seen that the Japanese Navy is in chaos now, but it is still struggling to support it because there is still the last commander.

Then General Lin Jianzhang ordered: "The fourth and fifth teams will carry out blocking shooting on the enemy fleet. The third team rotated to the right and circled out the Japanese fleet flagship Izumo. The first team concentrated all their firepower and sank it first. Completely disintegrate the Japanese invaders' final determination to resist!"

At 4:12, after the Third Team of the Emperor Qin Navy received the order, the commander of the team, Lieutenant General Yi Suifeng, immediately ordered the second team to turn right, and jump straight into the original team of the second team of the Japanese Navy.

At the same time, the fourth team Lushun, Weihaiwei, Dalian and Dandong carried out fierce fire attacks on the port side of the Japanese Navy and suppressed them. The fifth team Laizhou, Yizhou, Yizhou, and Dingzhou were on the right side of the Japanese Navy, and fiercely attacked the "Izumo" and "Asama" on the right side of the Japanese Navy.

The junction of the USS two ships forced the "Asama" to continue to follow up with the flagship "Izumo".

The firepower volleys of eight heavy cruisers were extremely fierce, giving people the feeling of destruction and oppression.

The sound of cannons rumbling and gunpowder filled the smoke. In an instant, the sea where the battle was in full bloom became boiling again.

Under the cover of eight heavy cruisers, the third team of the Imperial Qin Navy suppressed the firepower of the Izumo and blocked the "Asama" behind it. The team fought horizontally and cut the second team of the Japanese Navy straight away like a sharp blade.

Three minutes later, the Second Navy Team of the Emperor Qin Navy successfully circled the "Izumo" out of its team. Under the superior firepower of the twelve heavy cruisers, the Japanese Navy "Takaba Asama."

"My wife, Yamamoto Iwashou. The five ships were forced to leave the flagship "Izumo" and turn around to avoid seizing the second team of the Emperor Qin Navy, which had a horizontal position in the character ".

The Japanese Navy flagship "Izumo" that was driving straight in the front could no longer return to this team. Four heavy cruisers from the Second Navy Army of the Diqin Navy were attacking it fiercely behind it!

As the elite warships of the Emperor Qin Navy, all four heavy cruisers with the same main gun caliber have made great achievements in this naval battle, causing a heavy blow to the Japanese Navy.

The blasting points are distributed in a straight line, which is quite large for the teaching and shooting assistance in naval battles. If the opponent is still on the original route at several rounds of artillery fire, then it is necessary to hit the saturation attack, and the entire blast hits.

For this reason, Lieutenant General Nora Harumashi, who knew that these four heavy cruisers were powerful, knew that the opponent's tactical intention was to circle the "Izumo" out of the team and concentrate his firepower to eliminate it, but he had no choice at this moment.

He could only bare the bullet and sail towards the direction of the battleship formation of the Emperor Qin Navy. It was not that Lieutenant General No Harushi did not want to compare the opponent's battleships, but that his battleships had the same degree and were maneuvering on the periphery. No matter how the "Izumo" turns, the opponent always maintained the first position of the "Izumo".

At this moment, the only 400 remaining people on the ship were staring at the enemy fleet that were constantly approaching the middle of the ship. The huge battleship body made them feel like they could not breathe.

At 4:17, the first team of the Emperor Qin Navy, the five Pangu-class battleships, were at the distance of "Izumo"

The distance between the meter of the number is occupied by the "Izumo" and "azimuth station, with an elevation angle of ten thousand, and a distance of the knife meters!"

The high main gun barrel slowly raised, rumbled and shook, the muzzle flashed, and twenty 5mm main guns fired at the same time.

The 400-kilogram shell was shattered into the gray-black sky, and the frictional firelight was accompanied by the rumbling and howling sound, and lightning and thunder were hitting the "Izuyun".

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The rows of shells exploded, stirring up the sea water all over the sky. Several shells hit the "Izuyun", and instantly, a series of red mushroom clouds bloomed. The explosion power of several millimeter heavy shells made the hull stick instantly and the severity dropped sharply.

Immediately afterwards, another round of artillery bombardment, and more shells hit the Izuyun. In an instant, they cracked like lightning and thunder, and a loud noise appeared. Russia, the ship island was violently shocked, and the superstructure was completely flattened. Then several shells penetrated the hull. A blast exploded, with flames burning the sky, and white smoke covering the sea.

In a moment, the fire engulfed the hull and thick smoke covered the sky. The armored cruiser "Izumo" completely lost its combat effectiveness and was judged to be sunk.

However, the Emperor Qin Haijun, who was still unsatisfied, then fired again, and several shells hit the "out of the center of the zombie", causing a more violent explosion. After the dazzling explosion light, the "Izuyun" of more than 9,700 tons was blown into two pieces and sank into the sea in an instant.

In just five or six minutes, Izumo, commanded by the last lieutenant general of the Japanese Navy.

The USS was sunk magnificently, which had a serious impact on the struggling Japanese Navy ships.

At this moment, whether the Japanese navy is invincible to fight or surrender depends entirely on the decision of the captains of each ship. After the formation of the main battleships was eliminated, the only five remaining armored cruisers were already trapped in numerous encirclements. The hope of escaping was already slim, and fighting was even more deadly.

Then the only hope is to surrender and surrender to the Chinese navy, which is not a shame for the current Japanese navy. On the contrary, China's traditional influence over the past two thousand years has once again launched this mystery. It has given birth to a Japanese defiance of the country of the Celestial Empire in its infancy.

At 4:20, when the First Team of the Emperor Qin Navy bypassed the sinking Izumo and approached the remaining five remaining warships of the Second Team of the Japanese Navy again, the captain of the Asama ship, Major General Kosuo Sanofu ordered the flagship command flag to take over the command of the Second Team. At the same time, he raised the white flag and surrendered to the Emperor Qin Navy.

The "Asama" announced its surrender with its flagship. It was the decision made by its captain, Major General Kozuo Sangfu, after careful consideration. In this way, the responsibility for surrender completely fell on Major General Kozuo Sangfu, alone.

After the war, when the Japanese military headquarters held the surrender accountable, only Major General Kozuo Sangfu was responsible.

Perhaps Major General Jung Sangfu was to preserve the naval seeds for the Japanese Navy, but what he never expected was that by the time these surrendered Japanese naval officers and soldiers were released back to Japan, it was more than ten years later.

The Emperor Qin Navy was determined not to let a group of Japanese navy who had participated in actual combat bring their experience back to Japan. Even if the people who were later released were tortured and forgotten what they had once been a navy. Even if some people remembered the naval battles at that time, the navy was outdated for more than ten years later.

The surrender of the remaining five armored cruisers of the Japanese Navy's Second Team saved the Emperor Qin Navy a lot of trouble.

Then, several destroyers of the Diqin Navy escorted the Japanese Navy's auxiliary cruiser "Xinnon Maru"

and several lightning destroyers returned.

At the same time, the Ninth Team also successfully sunk the "Watizumi" ship, forcing the "Akashi" ship to surrender. The Chinese and Japanese navy, which lasted for two days and one night, ended with the complete victory of the Emperor Qin Navy.

During the naval battle, these lightning destroyers could not withstand the attacks of the sea waves and could not use tactical actions. Instead, they became ambulance boats to rescue the Japanese Navy's fallen water.

During the fierce naval battle, the Emperor Qin Navy did not attack them, and there was no time to deal with these hulls that had lost their threat. At this moment, the Japanese Navy surrendered, and these hulls surrendered. Because with their strength, they could not rescue so many soldiers who fell into the water.

Originally, General Lin Jianzhang did not intend to rescue these people who fell into the water because they had experienced naval battles. In the future, they would be excellent naval soldiers, which the Chinese Navy would not want to see. On the contrary, General Lin Jianzhang even wanted to use this unmanned land in the Pacific Ocean to kill people to silence them.

But when Lieutenant General Xu Zhiwang told him that the observation ships of the great powers came, he gave up this idea.

"Damn it! It's really time for these foreigners to come?" General Lin Jianzhang cursed fiercely.

Thinking that he had to maintain China's international image, General Lin Jianzhang had to let the Chief of Staff deal with it, and he returned to the cabin to rest. Obviously, he did not plan to meet with the observation group of the great powers.

For this reason, Lieutenant General Xu Zhiwang, the Chief of Staff, shook his head helplessly and ordered someone to deal with the aftermath.

In this battle, the Emperor Qin Navy achieved brilliant results. After paying the price of one cruiser being severely damaged, it wiped out the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet. It sank 4 Japanese Navy battleships. The old armored cruisers, cruisers, and captured 2 battleships, armored cruisers, cruisers, and lightning destroyers.

Over the past few days, the Japanese Navy lost tens of millions of tons of warships of various types. From the world's seventh naval power, he was kicked out of the circle of naval power.

The great powers who came to watch the battle originally thought that it was already night yesterday and it was impossible to start the war again. At the same time, it was deep into the Pacific region. The chances of the two fleets meeting together were very slim. Therefore, when the Chinese and Japanese navy intensified the Qing Dynasty demolition workers, the joint fleet was destroyed. Four inches, they were not present. When they arrived, the battle was already alive. Xiao Xi looked at the thick smoke stretching for several kilometers in the nearby sea, and the debris of warships were everywhere. The bodies were floating in it, and coal and other fuels drifting around the sea were still burning.

The Japanese Navy was completely destroyed and the Emperor Qin Navy, whose war losses were zero, shocked the great powers. It was not until this time that they truly felt the power of the Chinese Navy.

In the evening, the Emperor Qin Navy returned to Midway Island for a temporary stop. At the same time, the final casualties have been counted. The Emperor Qin Navy lost x 10,000 officers and soldiers. The Yao people were injured, and the highest rank was the Navy Captain. The Japanese Navy lost officers and soldiers, and four injured and captured officers. The highest rank was the Japanese Navy General Ito Youheng, and the following lieutenant generals were the major generals and the assistant officers were countless.

It can be said that after this battle, all the elite troops of the Japanese Navy were lost.

After the data statistics were completed, General Lin Jianzhang immediately telegraphed Zhang Yunfei to win, and ordered all naval warships to return to the Pearl Harbor Naval Base.

After the end of the major naval battle, although the Emperor Qin Navy achieved brilliant results, the damage to each ship was very serious. The third team with the most combat time and times, the main gun barrels of the four cruisers had reached the upper limit. The rifle was almost worn and needed to be replaced.

At the same time, other warships are not much better! As battleships, although the strong millimeter main gun has reduced the wear of the rifle when the shell is in the barrel, it can still reach the service life of the strong shell. After this battle, considering that there will be a stronger Russian Far East Fleet in the next few months, the main gun barrels of all battleships also need to be replaced. The damage pipe work of the warship seems inconspicuous, but it is fatal for the life of the warship. The strength of the damage pipe repair depends on the comprehensive strength of the country's naval industry.

Historically, after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, several warships of the Beiyang Navy were repaired for more than a month before they were finished. The Japanese Navy was also seriously injured. However, it took only fifteen days to complete the entire damage and pipe repair and joined the Yellow Sea blockade.

It can be seen that another factor in the failure of the Beiyang Navy at that time was that the naval logistics could not keep up. Everyone knows that when the 6th Army fought, the navy also needed logistics and was much more complicated than the 6th Army's logistics.

The Navy represents the country's comprehensive industrial capacity, which shows how huge and important the responsibilities of naval logistics are.

As early as the Emperor Qin Navy formulated strategies and tactics, he paid more attention to naval logistics support.

Zhang Yunfei knew that the two naval battles in history established the naval power status of Japan, which was closely related to this. He also knew that the Beiyang Navy and the Russian fleet both suffered logistics.

To this end, Zhang Yunfei vigorously built a naval base to ensure the strategic decision of the Imperial Qin Navy to win by quality. As of the time of the outbreak of the war, China had already had complete naval bases including Pearl Harbor Naval Base, Subic Naval Base, Guam Naval Base, Manila Naval Base, Baitan Naval Base, Lushun Naval Base, Midway Naval Base, and Wake Island Naval Base.

At the same time, the six largest shipyards that can provide warship repairs for the Diqin Navy include Pearl Harbor Shipyard, Subic Shipyard Manila Shipyard, Shanghai Royal Shipyard, Tianjin Shipyard, and Luda Shipyard. There are a total of 40 dry docks and 12 floating docks, which can provide repairs for the main fleet of the Diqin Navy at the same time.

Also, before the war broke out, Zhang Yunfei secretly rented the two major warship repair docks in Hong Kong and Singapore through British ambassador Sir Dou Nale, as the backup dock for the Emperor Qin Navy.

At that time, it was considered that Russia might attack Luzon or Hawaii all the way. Once the docks in these places were destroyed, the Emperor Qin Navy would suffer significant losses, and the lack of repairs to the end of the naval battle would also affect the lack of maintenance of the docks.

Of course, that was the past. Now the Japanese Navy can't help but temptation. After running out, it was annihilated by the Emperor Qin Navy in one fell swoop, which eliminated the biggest hidden dangers of the Emperor Qin Navy in the Far East. We can rest assured to deal with the Russian Far East Fleet with all our might.

Of course, the French Far East Fleet may also pose a threat to the Emperor Qin Navy, but Zhang Yunfei believes that if the French Navy participates in the war, then the British navy stationed in India and Hong Kong will also participate in the war. Once Britain and France are involved, no one can guarantee that the world war is imminent. Of course, the premise is that both Britain and France have agreed to not help each other. After all, the core interest of Britain and France is in Europe. They will definitely not interfere in the Far East War until they are absolutely necessary.

The Japanese joint fleet was annihilated, which completely lost its ability to fight against the oceans. Since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, in order to compete with Zhang Yunfei's naval rise, Japan has reluctantly reduced the strength of the 6th Army. It has formulated a naval development plan, hoping to defeat Zhang Yunfei through the navy, and then restore the 6th Army.

This is also impossible. As an island country, if Japan wants to reach 6 or 6, it must rely on the help of the navy. If it wants to have a strong navy, it must first defeat the Russian navy and the Chinese navy. A series of chain effects caused Japan to be taken off by the navy.

Now that thirty years of naval construction have been destroyed, Japan has been defeated, both military and economically, and has been brought back to the Meiji Restoration. Therefore, Japan's only way out is to seek peace from China as soon as possible. (To be continued)
