Chapter 203 The Toyo Navy Fiasco (Third Update, Please Subscribe!)
The battleships 'Hatsuse' and 'Fuji' were sunk one after another, which put the combined fleet of the Eastern Navy at an absolute disadvantage in this battle.
In addition, the battleship "Asahi" and the battleship "Yashima" were besieged by two battleships of the Tsarist Russian Navy. They had also suffered heavy damage and were in danger. No one can guarantee how long it will last.
Once these two battleships were also sunk by the Tsarist Russian Navy. Then, the Eastern Navy is completely finished.
On the battleship 'Mikasa', Lieutenant Admiral Togo Heihachiro, the commander of the United Fleet, was already as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Two battleships were sunk, which dealt an extremely serious blow to the Toyo Navy. What's more terrible is that the remaining four battleships have also been damaged. Among them, the battleship 'Asahi' and the battleship 'Yashima' had already suffered heavy damage, and they obviously couldn't last much longer under the siege of the Russian battleships.
If this continues, it is almost a certainty that the Oriental Empire Navy will lose this naval battle.
"Your Excellency, Commander, the current situation is very unfavorable to us. The performance of the Russian battleship 043 is too powerful, and the full-heavy artillery battleship is so terrifying, it is simply beyond imagination!" Chief of Staff of the United Fleet, Chief of Staff Hayao Shimamura There was already an unconcealable horror in his eyes.
Lieutenant General Dongxiang Heihachiro didn't know this. But the biggest problem is that they have nothing to do!
Even if they withdraw from the battlefield now, it is impossible.
The Russian battleships are much faster than their battleships, they can't withdraw at all!
The current Eastern Navy is already in a difficult situation.
"Order the ships to continue to insist. Urge the sun never sets and let them go faster. If it is later, it will be too late!" Lieutenant General Dongxiang Heihachiro ordered.
Now he can only pin his hopes of reversing the situation on the man who never sets. If the sun never sets and no one can do anything. Then "everything is over.
"Hi, Your Excellency Commander!" replied Colonel Hayao Shimamura.
It's just that Major General Oliver, the fleet commander whose sun never sets, was helpless after receiving the rescue telegram from Lieutenant General Togo Heihachiro.
(adee) Although, they gained the upper hand in the battle with the Tsarist Russian Navy's Pacific Fleet. It has severely damaged the battleship "Navarin" and four "Ekaterina II" battleships of the Tsarist Russian Navy. Moreover, the protected cruisers of the Pacific Fleet were also sunk. However, their five 'Sovereign Class' battleships were also injured, but the injuries were not serious. However, it is not so easy to sink these five battleships of the Tsarist Russian Navy.
As the local fleet of the Tsarist Russian Navy has achieved great results in the battle with the combined fleet of the Eastern Navy and gained considerable advantages, it has begun to mobilize heavy cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers to reinforce the Pacific Fleet.
This made the fleet that never sets in the sun gain an advantage, but it was unable to further expand their victories.
The armored cruisers and protected cruisers, where the sun never sets, are already in a state of being suppressed.
Even, once the local fleet of the Tsarist Russian Navy solves the combined fleet of the Orientals, their fate will be extremely tragic.
"Boom! Boom!"
The giant cannons were roaring, and the warships of the combined fleet of the Eastern Navy and the local fleet of the Tsarist Russian Navy were fiercely firing at each other's warships. One after another, large-caliber shells slammed into the opponent's warship.
The battle was very fierce, for survival and to defeat the opponent. The sailors on both sides are already desperately fighting.
The battleships of the Tsarist Russian Navy, with their sharp firepower and strong protection, have gained an overwhelming advantage in battle.
Although these battleships were also hit by the battleships of the Orientals.
However, the thick new armor steel kept these battleships from fatal damage. As long as the main compartments such as turret, conning tower, waterline and power compartment are not destroyed. Then, the combat effectiveness of these warships will not be greatly affected.
On the other hand, the Orientals have already suffered heavy losses and can no longer hold on.
"Boom! Boom!"
The battleship "Asahi" was continuously hit by the battleships "Alexei I" and "Fyodor III" of the Tsarist Russian Navy.
The 305mm shells one after another caused great damage to the battleship.
The entire battleship is riddled with holes.
Because the hull was severely damaged, the battleship was flooded with water.
Under such circumstances, the Japanese battleships could no longer hold on.
Sure enough, the battleship 'Asahi' soon lost its buoyancy due to too much water entering the hull, and sank into the sea.
The battleship Yashima is also under siege, and the situation is very bad.
In addition, the defensive performance of the "Fuji-class" battleships was originally not as good as that of the "Shikishima-class" battleships. Therefore, in the middle of the battle, he has already suffered heavy losses and almost lost his combat effectiveness.
But as long as the battleship Yashima is still floating on the sea and has not sunk, the attack of the Tsarist Russian Navy will not stop.
Soon, the battleship Yashima was also sunk.
As a result, only two of the six battleships of the Toyo Navy are left, namely the battleship "Shikishima" and the battleship "Mikasa" as the flagship.
And what they have to face is the six "Mikhail I-class" battleships of the Tsarist Russian Navy.
Moreover, the injuries of these "Mikhail I-class" battleships were very slight, and their combat effectiveness was not affected at all.
Under such circumstances, can the battleships "Shikishima" and "Mikasa" of the Orientals escape?
The six Mikhail I-class battleships of the Tsarist Russian Navy surrounded them directly, preparing to launch a siege on the battleships Shikishima and Mikasa.
The situation of this naval battle is undoubtedly very clear, that is, the navy of the Oriental Empire has failed in this battle. Their battleships are about to be sunk by the Tsarist Russian Empire Navy.
And the armored cruisers of the United Fleet, under the siege of the "Mosk-class" heavy cruisers of the Tsarist Russian Empire Navy, were also sunk one after another. Especially after the two Kasuga-class armored cruisers were sunk first, the remaining six ships couldn't bear it at all.
The protective cruisers and destroyers of the United Fleet were also crushed by the "Rostov-class" light cruisers and A-class destroyers of the Tsarist Russian Navy.
The Tsarist Russian Navy has already won this naval battle. .
