“Knock knock!”
The Tsugaru Strait, a strait just over 100 kilometers long and only 20 to 50 kilometers wide, is breaking out fiercely fighting.
The home fleet of the Russian Navy dispatched six Rostov-class light cruisers and 12 A-class destroyers to block the strait and prevent the Oriental from reinforcing the island of Hokkaido.
Other warships of the home fleet of the Russian Navy, such as the Mikhail I-class battleships and the Mosk-class heavy cruisers, had withdrawn from the strait before dark.
After all, the strait is very narrow, and if the line of sight is obstructed, it is easy to be attacked by the enemy.
Although the Toyo Navy was almost completely destroyed, there were still some destroyers, as well as many gunboats and torpedo boats. These destroyers, gunboats and torpedo boats, although small. However, once approached by them, it will also pose a great threat to the large warships of the Tsarist Imperial Navy. In particular, the torpedoes carried by torpedo boats, even the battleships of the Mikhail I class of the Tsarist Navy, did not want to be hit. Once hit, even if it will not be sunk, it will definitely be hit hard.
This will be very unfavorable for the next operations of the Russian Imperial Navy. In contrast, light cruisers and destroyers are smaller in tonnage and faster, and are not easily hit, even in the evening of the night. Especially those A destroyers, the cost is relatively low. Even if it is lost, the Imperial Russian Navy will not be too distressed. It is also relatively easy to replenish this type of warship.
But for those Orientals, these light warships were enough to kill them.
Those transports, merchant ships and even fishing boats were no match for these light cruisers and destroyers, and whether they were main or secondary guns, or rapid-fire guns, they could easily sink these ships.
The soldiers of the Eastern Army on board were undoubtedly completely powerless to fight back at this time. Even if they show extreme bravery on land. But at this moment, they are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
One after another, the ships of the Oriental were sunk, and even directly rammed and sunk by the warships of the Russian Navy. A large number of Orientals fell into the water. Although it is only September, the weather is still relatively hot. However, the sea is cold. After the Oriental people fall into the sea, it will not take long for them to freeze, or be frozen to death and drown, which becomes a supper for sharks in the sea.
“These Orientals are simply looking for death. However, their behavior is very good. In the strait, the more Orientals die, the less trouble they will be able to cause us! “On the light cruiser Rostov, the Chief of Staff of the Black Sea Fleet, Rear Admiral Enkvist, had a smile on his face.
As the enemy of the Orientals, the Tsarist Empire naturally wished that the more Orientals died, the better.
Even if this war is over, the Eastern Empire and the Russian Empire are also enemies. Therefore, the greater the losses of the Orientals in this war, the more beneficial it would be for the Russian Empire.
In order to be able to comprehensively suppress the Oriental people in the future, the Russian Empire also hoped to do its best to weaken the strength of the Oriental Empire in this battle.
After a night of fighting, most of the Oriental ships were sunk. The entire Tsugaru Strait is full of Oriental corpses. Only a very small number of Orientals managed to cross the Tsugaru Strait and land on the island of Hokkaido. However, they faced the powerful firepower of the Russian army. Very few can really play a role in this war.
During the daylight the next day, the Oriental people voluntarily stopped this death-seeking operation.
Because during the day, the lead ships of the Tsarist Navy entered the Tsugaru Strait.
At this time, if the Oriental people dare to continue to send ships across the strait, they are really looking for death. The main guns of battleships, with one shot, were able to destroy their ships.
Even if the Oriental army is large, it will not be able to withstand such attrition.
At sunset the next day, the Orientals once again intensified the Tsugaru Strait and reinforced the island of Hokkaido.
This time, the same two infantry wings were dispatched.
But unfortunately, under the interception of the fleet of the Russian Navy, most of the Orientals died in the strait, and only a very small number of Orientals successfully crossed the Tsugaru Strait and landed on the island of Hokkaido.
Four infantry wings under the command of an infantry division, a full 12 infantry brigades, and finally crossing the strait is equivalent to only one infantry brigade. How big such a loss is, you can imagine.
If this continues, even if all the remaining thirty-one infantry divisions of the Toyo Army are thrown in, only a very small number of Toyo people will be able to successfully cross the Tsugaru Strait. But what good can this do? (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
For several days in a row, because the losses were too great. This forced the Toyo Army to stop this act of sending deaths.
At the same time, the Russian army’s war on the island of Hokkaido was also very smooth.
The 66th and 67th Infantry Divisions of the Toyo Army, although they have been resisting stubbornly. However, after the successful landing of four infantry divisions and one marine brigade of the Russian army, it had an absolute superiority in both manpower and firepower.
The two infantry divisions of the Toyos are not opponents of the Russian army at all.
If it were not for the rugged terrain of the island of Hokkaido, with numerous mountains 057, they would have been crushed long ago.
Even so, they won’t hold out much longer.
It won’t be long before the Russian army will be able to completely occupy the entire island of Hokkaido.
Under such circumstances, the Oriental people can only pin all their hopes on the people who do not set in the sun, hoping that the people who do not set can help them uphold justice.
And now, the Sun Never Sets Empire is also very troubled by the current situation.
Nor did they expect that this war would turn out like this.
Originally, they thought that with their support, the Eastern Empire would have a great chance of victory. Even if you fail, you won’t lose too badly.
However, the great strength displayed by the Russian Empire in this battle far exceeded their expectations. So much so that the Oriental people lost a terrible defeat in this battle. Not only that, the Russian Empire did not give the Sun Never Set Empire at all, and also wanted to severely damage the Eastern Empire. This undoubtedly directly makes the overall strategy of the Sun Never Set Empire extremely challenged!
In other words, a hundred years ago, or decades ago, the sun did not set and the people had already gone to war against the Russian Empire. But the problem is that there are too many potential opponents of the Sun Never Set Empire now, so that the Sun Never Set Empire dares to act rashly! ! .
