The Japanese-Japanese joint fleet Dongxiang Pinglang looked at the wreckage of the Russian cruiser on the sea with a black face. He quickly ordered the North to ask for help from the country at the same time, and found out that the Russian naval fleet had entered the eastern Pacific Ocean of Taiwan Province for several days. Fishing boats and passenger ships were sailing towards the waters around the Miyako Strait, which was hundreds of kilometers wide.

"We can still stop them if we find them!" Dongxiang Pinglang is so opposed to his own group of followers.
However, little by little, but no one found the trace of the Russian navy!
Two days later, there was still no trace of the Russian navy. Dongxiang Pinglang once again made a choice: "Speed North Lushun!"
This time, he also made a choice. He judged that the Russian navy was going to Lushun instead of Vladivostok for a simple reason. Although the Russian navy went to Vladivostok, it was possible to get security across a Korean Russian navy, but it was not safe in the future. The Yellow Sea supply line would be followed by a joint fleet going to the sea off Vladivostok, and Lushun would repeat itself.
However, if the Russian navy goes to Lushun to join the first fleet and its strength increases, the joint fleet will not occupy much wind, and with the nail of Lushun, the Russian navy can come out at any time to threaten the supply line of the Yellow Sea and the Sea. At that time, unless the joint fleet of the Japanese navy can block the port of Lushun for years without rest and replenishment, the war day will be lost.
Based on the factors and the so-called military intuition, Hirashiro Dongxiang decided that the Russian navy would go straight to Lushun, so he also made the fleet gallop to Lushun.
On May 25th, a Japanese fishing boat finally informed the nearby Japanese navy that he had found a huge fleet in the northeast and northwest of Ryukyu half a day ago.
"There is no doubt that this fleet is the main Russian fleet. According to their route, they should have avoided the eastern waters of Taiwan Province and the waters near Miyako, but chose to go directly through the southern waters of Ryukyu and go straight to Lushun!" In the conference room of the Great War, Hiraro Dongxiang and a group of senior Japanese naval generals sat together.
Some of these senior navy generals, dressed in navy blue and wearing gold medals, are constantly watching or calculating with magnifying glasses, while others are sitting in the most standard sitting position with their hands flat and their legs flat.
The commander of the 2 nd team, Shimamura Suxiong, continued to say, "It can be seen that our previous prediction was for the enemy’s destination, namely Lushun!"
At this time, Kato Tomosaburo, the chief of staff, said, "Now the Russian navy’s route is to Lushun, but what if they change course to Vladivostok?"
At this time, the first Dongxiang Pinglang said with a heavy face, "If the Russian army doesn’t go to Lushun, it will be a good thing for us!"
It is true that if Russia goes to Vladivostok in a short time, the Japanese will not worry that the supply line of the Yellow Sea will be cut off, and the joint fleet will go straight to Vladivostok after the break, and it will still be a victory for the Japanese navy to block them in Vladivostok.
If we go to Lushun now, even if the navy reaches the Lushun sea before relying on the advantage of distance and speed, it is impossible to get any supplies to rest, that is to say, the situation of the joint fleet will not be much better than that of the Russian navy departing from Cam Ranh Bay.
Not to mention that the Russian First Fleet will definitely come out to meet at Lushun Port. Then, the Japanese joint fleet will have to face the forces of the Russian Pacific Second Fleet and the Russian Pacific Third Fleet reinforced by the First Fleet at Lushun Port.
At that time, it is a question worth considering whether the enemy and the enemy can still win if they are outnumbered.
On May 20, a Japanese navy cruiser once again discovered the Russian fleet in the Yellow Sea. On the evening of that day, the Japanese navy collected a batch of lightning ships and staged two torpedo night attacks on the Russian navy fleet. Unfortunately, the results were not great, but a Russian armored ship was injured.
However, several fast Japanese destroyers have been following the Russian navy and reporting the Russian navy’s movements to the joint fleet.
At 10 o’clock on the afternoon of May 29th, the Russian Navy’s Pacific Second Fleet arrived 100 nautical miles away from Lushun, that is, the sea area just east of Shandong, China. At the same time, the Japanese Navy’s joint fleet, Lidong Township, ordered the fleet to attack.
An hour later, at 11: 15 p.m., an exploratory fire broke out between the advance cruiser and the Russian naval fleet.
At the same time, from a few days ago, I was ready to leave the port to meet the Russian Navy’s Pacific First Fleet. After most of the fire and adjustment, I officially rushed out of the Lushun sea.
The first fleet was left behind to meet the reinforcements, and all the scarred warships were dragged out. However, there was a firefight with the left-behind blockade of Lushun Port. On the day when the navy lacked the main ship, the left-behind fleet launched the so-called "daytime torpedo attack", and several destroyers and more than a dozen torpedo boats launched almost suicide torpedo attacks.
As for the battle between the Russian Navy’s First Fleet and the Japanese Navy’s Left-behind Fleet, the Japanese Navy’s Joint Fleet and the Russian Pacific Second Fleet’s Third Fleet, ten nautical miles away, also entered!
The Yellow Sea naval battle that really decided the outcome of the Russo-Japanese War has already broken out! rg
Chapter one hundred and fifty-two Japan-Russia melee
On May 29th, 1995, at 12: 30 p.m., it came from the northeast at a high speed. The Japanese joint fleet was less than seven kilometers away from the Russian navy, and less than five minutes later, the main ships of both sides were on fire one after another.
At this time, the two huge fleets of the two sides met at an angle of nearly 120 degrees. The Russian navy was heading from the southeast, and the course was very accurate, that is, the navy was heading straight for Lushun and Japan, and the strategic intention was also very obvious, that is, trying to seize the bow fire of the Russian ship by relying on the course and speed.
At one o’clock in the afternoon, Russian naval commander Luo Rijie Stevenski saw himself continuing to go straight to Lushun at high speed. It is estimated that before he entered the range of Lushun shore guns, he was stopped by the naval prefix Huiri and turned right to 70 degrees.
This turn is very important, because this turn not only avoids hitting the side fire net of the Japanese joint fleet, but also creates a situation in which the two sides are approaching each other. If we continue this way, the Japanese navy and the Russian navy will break out in the next day.
However, Hirahiro Dongxiang is unwilling to give up his speed advantage of self-interest and once again turn to the left in an attempt to seize the prefix again.
Stevenski, corresponding to the Russian navy Rozhje, turned to the left again in just 20 minutes, not only trying to avoid the prefix of Dongxiang Pinglang, but also hoping to correct the course to the north to meet the first fleet.
After the top commanders of the two sides reached a series of steering, acceleration and deceleration instructions, Dongxiang Pinglang did not get his ideal prefix, and Luo Rijie and Stevenski failed to grab the prefix.
After a series of tactical maneuvers, the two sides not only failed to form their own ideal tactical conditions, but also made the fleet formations of both sides chaotic. The first and second detachments of the Russian navy plunged into the Japanese United fleet, and their respective capital ships bombarded each other only a few thousand meters away, while the third column was finally separated from most of them because of chaotic maneuvers and ran ahead.
Although the overall situation of the Japanese-Japanese joint fleet was better, the overall formation was maintained, but it still failed to seize the important prefix, and finally a scuffle broke out.
Two hours later, the largest fleet battle broke out between the two sides in the history of mankind. Together, hundreds of thousands of tons of fleets were fighting in Lushun offshore.
In this scuffle, although the Russian navy assembled three Pacific fleets, the total number and tonnage of warships exceeded that of the Japanese joint fleet, the training gap between the two sides was relatively large, and the Japanese rapid-fire gun speed occupied a greater advantage.
In the two hours of large-scale scuffle, the first detachment of the Russian navy, Borodino, Eagle and Sisoyi, were successively hit hard, and the second detachment, Osriyabia and navarin, were also hit by Japanese naval guns. Among them, navarin was even blown up with turrets, and several battles were forced to withdraw from the battle because of ammunition martyrdom.
The Osriyabia was even more tragic. It was besieged by many Japanese ships and sank after 2: 45 pm. Because the ship was the flagship of the second unit, it sank, causing the second unit of the Russian Navy to lose command and fall into its own situation.
The Russian navy suffered heavy losses, and the Japanese navy was not much better. You know, this is a melee between the two sides. In this narrow sea area, dozens of warships are collected. You’re welcome to say that gunners can hit the enemy with their eyes closed and a single shot.
Long before the scuffle between the two sides, the flagship Sanri in the Japanese-Japanese joint fleet was hit by multiple shells by the Russian navy, which caused a fire, forcing Hiraro Dongxiang to move with the fleet headquarters to the Rijin. The actual Sanri was hit, which caused Hiraro Dongxiang to lose command of the fleet for a time, which was also the main reason for the large-scale scuffle between the two sides.
In addition, the first Japanese team Fuji, the second team Izumo, and the shallow ship were all seriously damaged in the melee, and the remaining ships were shot to some extent.
It can be said that although the Sino-Japanese joint fleet of the capital ship did not sink, it was still suffered a lot.
It is even more cruel to engage with cruisers on both sides. The Russian navy lost three cruisers in just a few hours, and his ships suffered a lot of damage.
On the other hand, the Japanese cruiser sank in battle.
Just to say that the Japanese side won a tactical victory in this naval battle between the two sides, it can be said that it has been pressing the Russians to fight, not only hitting many Russian warships, but sinking a battleship of the Russian navy on the spot.
