The main force of the Japanese navy left the Tsushima Strait and headed towards Busan. At this time, the Russian squadron was bombarding Busan. Togo Heihachiro will soon command the navy to complete the outflank of the Russian fleet. Cam Ranh Bay and the Russian Combined Fleet are attacking Sasebo. Even if they learn that the Russian Pacific Squadron is surrounded and suppressed, it will be too late to rescue them.
Togo Heihachiro did not expect that the Jin-Russia joint fleet did not attack Sasebo, but headed towards the Tsushima Strait. When the Japanese fleet was about to leave the Tsushima Strait, the Russian fleet broke away from the formation and entered the Tsushima Strait. They would follow the Japanese fleet to launch an attack.
All warships in Cam Ranh Bay, including the Vietnamese Navy and a large number of player warships, travel north from the south of Tsushima Island. The fleet will pass through the Korean Strait to meet the Russian fleet attacking Busan, and at the same time serve as the main force against the Japanese navy. The Russian fleet passing through the Tsushima Strait will complete the outflank of the Japanese navy.
This is fair to both Cam Ranh Bay and Russia. It was the Tsarist Russian fleet that acted as a bait at the beginning, but the main force in the decisive battle was the Cam Ranh Bay fleet. It was impossible for Chen Hao not to be on guard against the Russians. He clearly told the Tsar that if the Russian outflanking fleet delayed its attack, he would give up resistance and retreat.
The main fleet in Cam Ranh Bay is almost all new warships. If the Japanese Navy cannot catch up, the Russian Navy, which is responsible for acting as a decoy, will be doomed. The Tsar responded by telegraphing that the Russian Navy would fight with all its strength and cooperate with the attack of the Cam Ranh Bay fleet to annihilate the main force of the Japanese navy in one fell swoop.
The Japanese fleet approached Pusan, but the Russian fleet attacking Pusan ??was very alert. The reconnaissance ship reported immediately after discovering the Japanese navy. The squadron stopped the bombardment and began to retreat to the west. Speed ??up and head toward the Korean Strait.
Togo Heihachiro's naval proficiency is S. He had long expected that the Russians might escape, so he sent Lieutenant General Ito Yuhiro to lead a mobile fleet to enter the Korean Strait in advance. The escaping Russian fleet soon encountered the Japanese squadron. After a brief exchange of fire, the Russian fleet did not dare to fight and continued to retreat to the west at full power.
The fleets of both sides were entangled, but there was no large-scale battle. However, if the Russian fleet continued to pursue it like this, sooner or later it would suffer a big loss. Togo Heihachiro stood on the deck of the Kongo, with a cold look on his face. In four hours this Russian squadron would be completely annihilated. The joint fleet of Russia and Russia was still heading to Sasebo at this time. Even if they defeated Sasebo, Japan would make a profit.
When the Russian fleet fled near Geoje Island, it suddenly stopped escaping and turned back to fight the Japanese fleet. The Russian ships, which had always avoided being entangled by Japanese ships, began to actively entangle Japanese ships, and the fighting will they showed surprised the Japanese. Togo Heihachiro on the Kongo was stunned after receiving the report. When did the Russians become so bloody and dare to fight to the death even when they were at an absolute disadvantage?
Togo Heihachiro soon had the answer. The combined fleet that was supposed to be in Sasebo suddenly came from the side of Geoje Island. In front was the super-dreadnought ship in Cam Ranh Bay, firing fiercely at the Japanese naval ships, and cooperating with the Russian ships to launch a counterattack against the Japanese fleet.
"I've been fooled." This was Togo Heihachiro's first reaction. The Cam Ranh Bay fleet was already stronger than the Japanese navy, and Japan had no chance of winning this battle. But the two sides are entangled. There are a large number of fast warships in Cam Ranh Bay. If Japan retreats, Japan's losses will also be very heavy.
The Japanese Navy quickly lost fourteen warships, eight of which were player ships, and two of the other six were large warships. Seeing that the Cam Ranh Bay fleet became more and more courageous as they fought, Togo Heihachiro gritted his teeth and issued a retreat order. Even if someone chases him and beats him if he retreats, he admits it.
This time it became the escape of the Japanese fleet, with Cam Ranh Bay and the Russian combined fleet chasing behind. Slow Japanese ships were sunk one after another. Togo Heihachiro's face was extremely gloomy. Those useless intelligence officers had sent false information. The navy suffered a big loss this time, and it would be even more difficult to deal with the Russian-Korean coalition at sea in the future.
Togo Heihachiro soon discovered something was wrong. The joint navy of Russia and Russia was heading south at the same time. Now they were chasing almost all Cam Ranh Bay warships. Where is the other Russian fleet? Togo Heihachiro had a bad premonition, and his face turned pale in an instant. Cam Ranh Bay and Russia jointly set a trap, and it was obvious that his fleet would not be easily withdrawn to Japan.
Togo Heihachiro¡¯s premonition soon became a reality. The Japanese fugitive warship had just entered the Tsushima Strait and ran into the Russian Pacific Fleet head-on. The Russian battleships lined up, blocking the Japanese Navy's retreat, and the Japanese Navy fell into a situation where they were attacked from two sides.
Togo Heihachiro sat down on the deck. This battle with the Japanese Navy was over. The enemy had set a huge trap in order to completely annihilate the Imperial Navy. Once the navy is completely wiped out, Japan, as an island country, will be the meat on the chopping block. Not only will it lose Korea, but it will even return to the era of invasion before the Meiji Restoration.
Cam Ranh Bay has invested all its ships,The U.S. Pacific Fleet also went all out, and the biggest naval battle in the game broke out. Although he knew that the chance of survival was slim, Togo Heihachiro still managed to command the fleet to break out. Thanks to his efforts, a total of twelve battleships of the Japanese navy escaped, eight of which were player battleships.
Those who escaped back to Japan were all high-speed ships. The dreadnoughts and previous battleships purchased by Japan in the UK were all buried in the Tsushima Strait. This disastrous defeat exceeded the last war. The Japanese always liked to bet on the fate of the country. This time they lost everything. Even if the players invested a lot of money, they could not fill the huge hole.
After the victory in the naval battle, the combined fleet began to clean up the battlefield. One dreadnought and four Invincible-class battlecruisers were captured in Cam Ranh Bay, making up for their own losses. After escorting the damaged ship back to Incheon Port, Chen Hao sent a congratulatory message to Tsar Nicholas II and proposed a battle plan to beat the drowned dog.
The Japanese navy is almost completely destroyed, and the Japanese troops stationed in Korea will not receive any supplies. Now is the opportunity to annihilate the Japanese troops in Korea in one fell swoop. The Tsar readily accepted the suggestion, and under the escort of the Russian Pacific Fleet, two brigades of Russian marines landed in Pusan. Without the threat of the Japanese navy, Russia boldly dispatched troops from coastal cities in the Far East to North Korea and opened a second battlefield in the south of North Korea.
Seeing the victories of the Kim-Russian coalition, players from North Korea and South Korea shouted slogans for national independence and began to become active. North Korea's NPCs are also very active, actively issuing tasks to domestic players, and cooperating with Cam Ranh Bay and the Russian coalition forces to deal with the Japanese troops stationed in North Korea. The Japanese troops stationed in North Korea lost their own support and supplies, and their lives became increasingly difficult. They were retreating steadily under attack from two sides.
Russia is very wary of players from North and South Korea participating in the war, and even intends to suppress them, but Cam Ranh Bay strongly supports them. This time Chen Hao united with Russia to fight, on the condition that Russia's rights and interests in North Korea were recognized, and China could only obtain part of the land in northern North Korea. Since players from North Korea and South Korea want national independence, he will of course strongly support it. I believe the peninsula will be very lively when the Russian European War begins.
The Cam Ranh Bay Army is an angel in the eyes of North Korean NPCs. Because Cam Ranh Bay provided them with a large amount of arms, North Korea quickly formed an NPC army of 20,000 people. Players from North Korea and South Korea know that Mr. Chen has no good intentions, but currently their main enemy is Russia, and they can only choose to cooperate with Cam Ranh Bay.
The situation in North Korea has become complicated. Cam Ranh Bay, Russia and North Korea are all attacking the Japanese, but Russia and North Korea are guarding against each other. Cam Ranh Bay was soy sauce in the middle, slowing down the speed of attacking the Japanese troops stationed in Korea, allowing Russian and North Korean troops to seize the territory.
Under this delicate situation, Mr. Chen put forward the suggestion of landing in Japan. He believed that the Japanese navy was completely destroyed and now was the best opportunity to deal with Japan. The Russians' attitude is very subtle. On the one hand, they are very interested in Japan's four northern islands, but they are also worried that without Japan's restraint, China will become their biggest enemy in the Far East, and they do not want Japan to be overly weakened.
Chen Hao just informed the Russian side as a courtesy that he would take action alone even if Russia did not participate. After Yuan Shikai fought against Japan on behalf of the Beiyang government, China's anti-Japanese enthusiasm increased, and the revolutionary party and the Beiyang army also temporarily chose to cease the war. The combined fleet's complete annihilation of the Japanese navy made the people proud, and many people called for an attack on the Japanese mainland.
The Cam Ranh Bay Fleet has no rivals in the Pacific. If Beiyang and the Revolutionary Party send armies to participate in the war, landing in Japan is definitely not a fantasy. After the Russian side refused to jointly land in Japan, Chen Hao quickly sent a message saying that he would not interfere in North Korea's internal affairs and that the Cam Ranh Bay Army would withdraw from North Korea and send troops to Japan.
Beiyang and the Revolutionary Party responded quickly. Beiyang said it would send eight towns to participate in the battle, and the Revolutionary Party also sent four divisions. Amid protests from the European powers, the Chinese navy mobilized all personnel and launched a landing operation of 200,000 people in Sasebo, Japan.
Japan¡¯s elite divisions were basically on the Korean battlefield, and the troops dispatched urgently were not very effective. Sasebo fell in half a day. The Chinese Army landed in Sasebo and divided its troops into three groups to march into the interior of Japan. Feng Guozhang commanded the Beiyang Army to attack Kitakyushu in the north, and Huang Xing commanded the Revolutionary Army to attack Kumamoto, Yashiro and other places in the south. The goal of these two groups was to capture the entire Kyushu Island.
The Cam Ranh Bay Army, with the cooperation of the Navy, attacked Nagasaki, Amakusa Islands, Kagoshima and other islands. According to Chen Hao's plan, if the Western powers intervene forcefully and require the two sides to sit down and negotiate, his request is for Japan to cede Kyushu Island and its affiliated islands. When the Russians go to war in Europe, he will declare war on Russia, control the entire North Korea and occupy Tsushima Island, thereby allowing China's military bases to spread across the East.
Chen Hao commanded the troops to capture Kagoshima. When he was planning the next step, he suddenly received a system prompt: "Player Chen Baxian, because you performed very well in the game and completed the system's hidden mission 'Rescuing Aliens', you You can use the acquired wealth and status to help you redeem the imprisoned aliens. Do you want to redeem them?"
