“Your Excellency Commander, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to win this battle. On the battleship Nagato, Rear Admiral Shirane Kumasan, chief of staff of the Combined Fleet, said with a lost soul.
The current situation is already very unfavorable for them.
Half of the capital ships of the combined fleet have already been sunk. And their results were nothing more than three capital ships of the Imperial Russian Navy. In comparison, their losses were much greater than those of the Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Russian Navy.
Moreover, of the remaining six capital ships, four were besieged by the capital ships of the Imperial Russian Navy. As far as the current situation is concerned, it is already dangerous.
Under such circumstances, how could they possibly win this naval battle?
General Takeshita Yudai’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot. But even so, he did not give up.
“Order the ships to kill the enemy bravely. Even if you die in this sea, you must make the Russians pay as much as possible!” ordered General Isamu Takeshita viciously.
Despite the heavy losses this time, the combined fleet is probably defeated. But General Isamu Takeshita did not give up hope just like that.
He knew that if they could inflict more casualties on the Russians in this battle. Then, they may still have the possibility of a turnover. After all, in the mainland of the 337 country of the Eastern Emperor, there are still two powerful Kaga-class battleships and four Amagi-class battlecruisers that have begun to outfitting. Although, there are only six capital ships. However, these six capital ships are very powerful. Once commissioned, it can also greatly strengthen the strength of the Oriental Imperial Navy.
“Hey, Your Excellency Commander!” replied Major General Shirane Kumazo.
Under the order of General Isamu Takeshita, the officers and men of the Combined Fleet of the Imperial Navy of the East, with the determination to die, fought with the Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Russian Navy.
But unfortunately, even if they are so desperate, they are no match for the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy. Their disadvantages are getting bigger and bigger. And as more and more warships were sunk, the advantages gained by the Russian Imperial Navy were greater and more obvious.
“Boom! Boom!”
In the midst of the violent explosion, the battleship Hanoi of the Oriental was almost completely enveloped by fire and smoke.
The siege of the battleship Hanoi by two King-class battleships left the battleship almost completely crushed. The 3 (ABFF) 05mm shells they fired could not penetrate even the main armor of these two King-class battleships, let alone destroy them. So much so that the entire course of the battle, they were completely crushed.
Immediately afterwards, two Mikhail I-class battleships of the Russian Navy also took out the battleship Settsu of the Orientals.
This caused the two Hanoi-class battleships of the Oriental to be sunk at this moment.
The strength of the Imperial Navy of the East Ocean once again suffered a fatal blow.
The remaining four battleships were all under siege by the capital ships of the Imperial Russian Navy.
Soon, the battleships Fuso and Yamashiro of the Toyo Navy were sunk during the siege.
Especially the battleship Yamashiro was very humiliated. Four King-class battleships and two Mikhail-class battleships drowned them with 305-mm shells.
Even if the armor of the battleship Yamashiro was actually not thin, the thickness of the side waterline armor was 305 mm. As for the armor of the front of the turret and the commander’s tower, it was even thicker.
However, under the siege of as many as six capital ships, a large number of 305-mm shells almost drowned the battleship Yamashiro. The entire superstructure of the battleship was blown up.
Under such circumstances, the battleship Yamashiro naturally could not bear it.
After both of the Toyo’s Fuso-class battleships were sunk, only the battleships Nagato and Hinata remained in the combined fleet.
The four King-class battleships and two Mikhail I-class battleships of the Russian Navy did not continue to besiege these two battleships, but threw themselves into the attack on the Orientals’ cruisers and chases. (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!)
As for the battleships Nagato and Hinata, they were given to the battleships Anna I, the battlecruiser Gneisenau and two Bavaria-class battleships.
Under the siege of these four battleships, whether it was the battleship Nagato or the battleship Hinata, it was impossible to bear.
Just after one o’clock in the afternoon, the battleship Hinata was sunk during the siege of two Bavarian-class battleships.
Only the battleship Nagato remained, still fighting alone.
And the battleship Nagato, which also did not last much, also quickly followed in its footsteps and was sunk.
At this point, all 12 capital ships of the combined fleet of the Imperial Navy of the East Ocean were sunk.
The price paid by the Imperial Russian Navy was the price of one York-class battlecruiser and two Izmail-class battlecruisers. The remaining ten capital ships, although one with wounds. However, the injury was not serious, and it did not even affect the combat effectiveness of the battleship.
Under such circumstances, the Imperial Russian Navy undoubtedly won a perfect victory.
The other warships of the Combined Fleet of the Eastern Imperial Navy saw that their capital ships had been completely destroyed, and they all had no courage to fight anymore, and began to flee one after another.
However, the Russian Imperial Navy pursued it relentlessly, trying to further expand its gains.
In such a situation, both heavy cruisers and light cruisers of the combined fleet of the Imperial Navy of the East Ocean suffered heavy losses. In the destroyer formation, a large number of warships were also sunk.
Only a few warships eventually escaped back to the mainland of the Eastern Empire.
Moreover, because all the capital ships were sunk by the Imperial Russian Navy. So much so that the combined fleet of the Eastern Imperial Navy has lost a lot in this battle.
On the other hand, the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Imperial Navy once again won a big victory.
“Your Excellency Commander, we have won, we have taken out the main force of the combined fleet of the Orientals. Moreover, our losses are small. Major General Provsky looked ecstatic, almost unable to believe what was happening in front of him.
“Great, send a telegram to His Majesty the Tsar immediately and tell His Majesty the good news!” ordered Lieutenant General Vovidsky.
He knew that Tsar Mikhail must also be waiting for news of their victory.
