Chapter 564: Unexpected
"The back is almost unstoppable, and the Japanese really won't give us another chance." Makanov also saw the sinking of the Alexander III, and he had realized that his entire front was on the verge of collapse. If Makanov can't find a way to break the game before the Japanese hit the Shen Ying, then the situation is in trouble. Because the four American cruisers in the middle were too vulnerable to the heavy artillery of the Japanese fleet.
Makanov has been looking for a breakthrough. When Alexander III and the Eagle desperately resisted the attack of the Togo Fleet, the remaining six Russian warships concentrated their fire on the Japanese armored cruiser formation. However, it is a pity that the 10-inch gun is still a little worse for the Asama-class armored cruiser. Although the fierce attack caused a raging fire on the Japanese cruiser, it is not realistic to sink in a short period of time. I am afraid it will be a little more difficult if you want to shoot the lucky bomb again...
However, at this time, it is unlikely that Makanov wants to open the situation again. After all, the formation of the two sides has been locked. As long as Japan does not want to change, then the Russians have no chance to change. The firepower is absolutely inferior and there is not enough destroyer cover. , It is an extravagant hope to stretch a certain distance. But the Russian fleet is still insisting that it has not broken up. And because of the mistakes of the Japanese fleet at the beginning, the entire cruiser formation suffered a certain loss, which is also an important reason why the Russians can survive until now....
"What's that?" When Japanese naval officers and soldiers on the evacuated Asama armored cruiser were repairing the battleship, a plume of smoke in the distance caught their attention. The size of the plume was not big, not small. , It seems that it should be a medium-sized fleet, but looking at the blurred figure in the distance, the opponent seems to be moving very fast. In the entire South China Sea, nothing seems to match the fleet in the distance. The British, Germans, and French are dangling around, but to avoid suspicion, they are all a battleship. But there is obviously a fleet in the distance. If it is a merchant ship, who is okay to come to the battlefield? Can't hear the cannons in the distance? !
"Immediately notify Commander Dongxiang that an unknown ship entered the battlefield from the northeast." The officer staying behind instructed. Unfortunately, no one moved, because the Asama's transmitter was completely broken. There is no such tall thing on destroyers and torpedo boats.
But soon, the Japanese on the Asama did not have to report. First of all, the identity of the unknown ship has been confirmed to be the Essen fleet from Vladivostok! Secondly, the Asama can't go!
"Kill him in fifteen minutes, and then we will help the lieutenant general!" Looking at the half-dead armored cruiser Asama in the distance, Essen gave an attack order with a dark face! On the eve of the collapse of the Makanov fleet, Essen finally arrived on the battlefield with three Rurik-class fast battleships, and at this time the Japanese knew nothing about it! Once again, the battle became confusing.
Asama faced the two Borodino-class battleships and was beaten enough. Now facing the three Rurik-class battleships with a broken body, she naturally had no idea at all. The torpedo boat went up and was repelled in 2 minutes. The destroyer Going up, 2 ships sank within 3 minutes. Then the Rurik and Russia were responsible for suppression, and the Warrior fired 3 torpedoes against Asama at a distance of 700 meters. With a series of explosions, the former flagship of the Japanese fast fleet sank into the sea in two pieces. The Essen fleet, which had easily eliminated the Asama, continued to move south, and at this time Makanov had also received a telegram from Essen.
"All the destroyers are dispatched to block the Japanese fleet and open all the smoke cans. We need to hold on for another 20 minutes!" Makanov said excitedly. "Also, let the Eagle move freely, we can't take him away." Then Makanov gave another command that was extremely chilling. The Eagle had gradually left the fleet and could not be saved, so Makanov ordered the Eagle to take care of itself in a relatively obscure language.
Through radio and semaphores, the entire command was quickly communicated to the entire fleet. The battleship Eagle in the back row suddenly left the formation and rushed towards the Japanese fleet. This warship burning with flames rushed towards the Japanese fleet like an angry bull. Although in this era, it is almost impossible to play the angle of attack. impossible. But what if?
Heihachiro Togo, who is holding the winning ticket, naturally doesn't want to be out of line. Since you want to be reckless, then I step back a bit and slowly kill you. As a result, Dongxiang's main fleet turned half a compass point to the right and opened a little distance. Then the eight battleships suffocated the opponent with firepower with ease, and the destroyer went up to release the torpedoes. In the first three training sessions, the Japanese are already very proficient in doing one set.
However, what the Japanese did not expect was that the Russians were like stunned medicine this time, as if a dying struggling person released their last strength. When the Japanese fleet had just cleaned up the Eagle and was about to catch up again, there were a bunch of destroyers and The torpedo boats boarded, and 8 destroyers rushed towards Dongxiang’s fleet with a torrent of gunfire. However, a lightning strike of this scale was destined to have no effect. Under the siege of 3 light cruisers and more than a dozen destroyers, the Russians hated the battlefield again, but time More than twenty minutes have passed... The watchman of the Japanese cruiser formation, which was fighting desperately with the Makanov fleet, finally saw the uninvited guest in the distance!
"That's it?!" Uemura Hikoyuki looked at the ship shadow that appeared in the distance and was shocked and speechless! The opponent's speed is very fast~www.wuxiaspot.com~ conservatively estimated to be at least 22 knots, and the course of his own fleet is almost directly opposite to the opponent, and the distance of more than ten nautical miles is gone in ten minutes! Subconsciously, Uemura Hiko's inheritance wanted to evade, and he couldn't avoid it! Before Togo Heihachiro's main fleet smashed the Russian ass, the two Russian fleets might be able to swallow the entire Japanese fast fleet! Those three warships don't need to be seen to know they are of the Rurik class! For the German warships, especially the prestige of this series of warships, Uemura Hiko's inheritance is like a legend!
But can Uemura Hikoto go? Obviously can't go! If he is counseled and he is fine for the time being, what about the Dongxiang fleet behind? Go straight up and hit it! There are 8 battleships in the Togo Fleet, but there are also parallel cargoes such as Fuji and Yashima. However, the two Russian fleets together also have 9 ships. The most important thing is that they are in a good position. As soon as it withdrew from here, the Russian fleet lay directly on the T-shaped head of the Dongxiang fleet! Will Uemura Hikoki dare to leave?
"Leave it to fate!" Uemura Hiko's success is really no choice but to watch the two Russian fleets converge, and then pour the first round of gunfire on his fleet!
