Chapter 205 We Are The Sun Never Sets (Fifth Update, Please Subscribe!)
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The six "Mikhail I-class" battleships of the Tsarist Russian Navy began to approach and shoot.
The combat distance between the two sides was first shortened from 10,000 meters to 8,000 meters, and then shortened to 6,000 meters.
At this distance, the hit rate of the battleships of the Tsarist Russian Navy is already very amazing. Every round of salvo fired by almost every battleship can achieve a hit. In some cases, more than one shell scored a hit in a salvo.
Under such circumstances, the battleship Ao and the battleship Mikasa naturally couldn't resist it.
The battleship 'Mikasa', as the flagship of the United Fleet, is already riddled with holes. Two twin 305mm main guns were installed, and one was destroyed, leaving only one
This not only caused the firepower of the battleship "Seven Seven Seven" of the "Mikasa" to be greatly damaged. At the same time, the threat to the battleships of the Tsarist Russian Navy is also smaller.
At this moment, inside the flagship of the battleship 'Mikasa', Lieutenant General Togo Heihachiro and others were already full of despair. They knew very well that the battleship 'Mikasa' would not last long. The situation of the battleship Shikishima is similar to that of the battleship Mikasa.
In this case, it won't take long for them to be sunk.
"Your Excellency, Commander, we are finished. We are no match for the Russians. We have lost this battle." Colonel Hayao Shimamura looked desperate and frustrated.
Lieutenant General Dongxiang Heihachiro ordered him, why didn't he know this?
"Your Excellency, the sun never sets and people escape. They fled directly to the south!" an officer reported.
"Damn it! Damn the sun never sets, they are our mercenaries, how can they escape at this time? Besides, those warships were purchased by the empire from the empire on which the sun never sets, and they are the property of the imperial navy!" said Heihachiro Togo Will cursed.
It's too unreliable for people to never set these days.
However, apart from cursing a few words, they have nothing to do with these days. Now that they are already unable to protect themselves, what can they do to the people who never set the sun? Even if they report to the country, they can only protest a few words to the people who never set the sun.
"The Russians won't let them go, and they won't end well either!" Said Hayao Shimamura, gritted his teeth.
Lieutenant General Dongxiang Heihachiro didn't say much. They can no longer control the life and death of people who never set. Anyway, they are dead.
"Shimamura-kun, I failed to lead the combined fleet to defeat the Russians. I cannot escape the guilt and must be responsible for this failure. You are still young, and the future of the Imperial Navy rests with you. Get off the battleship!" Dongxiang Lieutenant General Heihachiro said.
"No, Your Excellency Commander, as a naval officer, I will not run away." Hayao Shimamura shook his head again and again.
"Baga! You idiot! We are not stupid army red deer, we have to be more rational. We have already lost this battle. However, we will not lose to the Russians forever. Next time, we will definitely win again Come back. You have to survive and stay useful. I will send a telegram to the country and take all the responsibilities!" Lieutenant General Dongxiang Heihachiro cursed.
"Hey, Your Excellency Commander, I will definitely not disappoint Your Excellency Commander's expectations!" Colonel Shimamura Toguo did not insist.
After paying a salute to Lieutenant General Dongxiang Heihachiro, he took a few young officers and left the battleship 'Mikasa' in a small boat.
Ten minutes later, the battleship 'Mikasa' sank into the sea because of too much damage.
And the battleship 'Shikishima' was also sunk after just over ten minutes.
So far, the six battleships of the combined fleet of the Eastern Empire Navy have all been sunk.
The 8 armored cruisers of the United Fleet were also sunk, and none survived. Of the 17 protected cruisers, not even one escaped.
But those destroyers, because of their faster speed, chose to flee the battlefield after seeing that the overall situation was irreversible.
However, these destroyers are smaller in tonnage and have shorter endurance. It is very hard to say whether they can successfully escape back to their homeland.
"Finally the Dongyang people have been dealt with, and our loss can be described as very slight. Next, it is the turn of those who never set. They must not be allowed to escape! Order the ships, turn around, and use full power, Chasing the sun never sets!" Lieutenant General Rozhestvinsky ordered...
"That's right, the people who never set will never be let go this time. Since they choose to participate in this war, we can't let them go." Lieutenant General Carlos Ma also had the same attitude.
Immediately, the six "Mikhail I-class" battleships of the Tsarist Russian Navy's home fleet ran at full power, chasing the five "Sovereign-class" battleships where the sun never sets at maximum speed.
At the same time, other heavy cruisers and light cruisers also participated in the attack on those armored cruisers where the sun never sets.
The maximum speed of the "Sovereign Class" battleship is only 18 knots. And, it has been in service for more than ten years now. Due to mechanical failure and other reasons, it is already very good to be able to run at a speed of 16 knots.
In contrast, the Tsarist Russian Navy's "Mikhail I-class" battleships are 6 knots faster than them in terms of speed.
In other words, the distance between the two sides can be close to ten kilometers per hour.
It only takes a few hours, at least before dark, the battleship formation of the Tsarist Russian Navy will be able to catch up with the battleship formation of the previous sun.
Prior to this, the six "Crecy-class" armored cruisers and one "Drake-class" armored cruiser that never set in the sun were already under siege by many heavy cruisers and armored cruisers of the Tsarist Russian Navy.
Needless to say, the armored cruisers of the 0.5 Russian Navy, the armored cruiser 'Pamitzova' and the armored cruiser 'Admiral Nasimov' were sunk during the battle. On the contrary, the armored cruiser "Tsarist Empire" and the armored cruiser "Rurik" were only slightly injured.
But even so, the formation of armored cruisers where the sun never sets cannot escape.
At this time, on those armored cruisers where the sun never sets, the rising sun flag of the Orientals was suddenly lowered, and the St. George flag, where the sun never sets, was raised.
Moreover, they also used semaphore to inform the Tsarist Russian Navy that they are people on whom the sun never sets and are not Orientals, and asked the Tsarist Russian Navy to stop attacking them. Otherwise, it would be a declaration of war on the empire on which the sun never sets. I want to use this method to scare off the Tsarist Russian Navy and take the opportunity to escape. .
