“Your Excellency, our battleship is caught by the Russians, and they are shooting fiercely at us!” a major officer reported to the captain of the battleship Hatsuse, Yu Nakao.
Order our main guns, aim and hit again!” yelled Nakao.
But faced with such a situation, it seems that the Oriental people have no other way than pray to Amaterasu. They could only pray to Amaterasu’s blessing that the Russians’ shells would not hit their battleships. Otherwise, it would be very dangerous.
“Hi, Your Excellency!” replied Officer Major.
Although, the two twin 40-caliber 305-mm guns of the battleship Hatsase were also firing back. Even seven 152 mm secondary guns on the side joined the firing.
But for the battleship Alexei I, which was ten thousand meters away, there was no threat at all.
1:32 p.m.
The battleship Fyodor III of the 01 Navy of Tsarist Russia achieved the first hit of this naval battle.
A 305 mm shell fired from the second main battery turret on the foredeck successfully hit the side of the battleship Asahi.
However, the shell hit the site above the waterline, although a large hole was blown out. A 152 mm secondary gun and a 76 mm rapid-fire gun were also blown up. However, it did not pose a further threat to the battleship Asahi.
However, after the hit, the battleship Fyodor III was immediately transferred to concentrated fire. Three triple 50-caliber 305-mm guns opened heavy fire. For a time, heavy artillery fire almost enveloped the battleship Asahi, making the battleship dangerous.
At the same time, this also makes the battle line of the combined fleet of the Eastern Navy almost in a state of being suppressed by the battle line of the home fleet of the Tsarist Navy.
The battleships of the Eastern Navy, let alone hit the battleships of the Tsarist Russian Navy, even the point of impact is still far away. And themselves, already battleships were hit.
At this moment, Heihachiro Togo’s face was already gloomy, as if he could drip water.
The cruel truth told him that before the outbreak of war, they had completely underestimated the Russian navy. Otherwise, how could you think that the Russian Navy is so vulnerable?
But now it seems that they should be vulnerable!
“Your Excellency Commander, the situation is very unfavorable for us now! The Russians’ battleships are very fierce in firepower, and even if they are 10,000 meters apart, they can still have such a high hit rate, which is simply unheard of!
He was really frightened by the performance of the warships of the Tsarist Russian Navy on the battlefield.
“The Russian warships are indeed too strong, far beyond our expectations. I’m afraid that no one expected the sun to set!” Lieutenant General Heihachiro Togo was a little helpless.
You know, in this era, usually the battle distance between the battleships of the two sides is only a few thousand meters! In the era of sail battleships, the battle distance of the battleships of the two sides was even only a few hundred meters. It is also common to fire at battleships at a distance of two hundred meters.
Until the navies of various countries enter the era of dreadnoughts, or even the era of super-dreadnoughts, the distance of engagement will continue to increase.
“But now we have no other choice. The war between us and the Russians has begun. Moreover, the navy has become the most critical force in this war. Therefore, we must defeat the Russians, even if the Russians are stronger than we expected!” said Lieutenant General Heihachiro Togo, gritting his teeth.
“Hi, Your Excellency Commander!” replied Shimamura Speedo Daisa.
“Telegram to General Oliver that the Russians are stronger than we expected, and we will do our best to drag the Russians. They must solve the Russian Pacific Fleet as soon as possible, and then besiege the Russian home fleet with us. This may be our only chance to win. Lieutenant General Heihachiro Togo ordered.
“Hi, Your Excellency Commander!” Shimamura knew very well that the Toyo Navy was now in a great crisis.
At the time of the battle between the battleships of the Home Fleet of the Russian Navy and the battleships of the Combined Fleet of the Eastern Navy, the heavy cruisers and armored cruisers, light cruisers and protective cruisers, and destroyers of both sides were already engaged in fierce battles.

The Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy, and the Second Fleet of the Combined Fleet of the Eastern Navy, have also gone to war.
The five battleships of the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy are undoubtedly inferior to the five Monarch-class battleships that never set in the sun. Together with the sailors of the Tsarist Navy, the quality is also a little worse. So much so that from the very beginning of the battle, the Pacific Fleet was almost suppressed by the sun never sets.
However, to sink these battleships with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons, it is not so easy and it takes a lot of time.
Major General Oliver was also a little surprised when he received a telegram from Lieutenant General Heihachiro Togo.
Are they too weak, or are the Russians really that strong?” Major General Oliver was a little unsure.
However, Major General Oliver was well aware that the Oriental people might be in trouble.
This means that they can’t waste time467, they have to hurry.
“Order the ships to speed up and intensify their attacks. We have no time to waste and must finish off the Russians as soon as possible. Major General Oliver ordered.
“Yes, Your Excellency, General!” the officers replied.
Over time, the advantages possessed by the battleship formations of the home fleet of the Tsarist Navy became more and more obvious.
The six battleships have already formed a straddle fire, or achieved a hit, and entered the state of concentrated fire.
This put the six battleships of the combined fleet of the Toyo Navy in an extremely unfavorable position.
Battleships were constantly hit by large-caliber naval gun shells, and the situation could be described as very bad.
At 2:24 p.m., the first results of the Russian Navy finally appeared.
The battleship Alexei I, living up to expectations, completed the killing of the battleship Hatsuse.
Under the fierce attack of the battleship Alexei I, the battleship Hatsase received a full twelve 305-mm shells.
The most serious injuries came from the waterline armor being pierced, and three large holes were pierced. So much so that the sea water frantically poured into the hull of the ship, causing the battleship Hatsase to lose its buoyancy due to too much water ingress, and finally sank into the sea.
