Chapter 134 The Burning Ocean (End)

To the north, the slow and old Navarrin faced the light patrol team like a wolves of the Chinese army and the Hue warship. The remaining Russian protective cruisers were covered with scars and slow speeds. They knew that the situation was not good, but they could not escape. Seeing the decisive battle, these desperate Russian naval soldiers finally chose to shoot the white flag in the face of the Chinese army warships from all directions.

Going south a little, Lin Tai had no choice but to care about the formation and ordered each ship to march south at its maximum speed.

The one running in the front was the Sanya, which had almost no damage, headed south at a speed of 22 knots, followed by the slogan of the sea with a slow speed of 18 knots, with a difficult journey. Then there was the Danang, which was also scarred and had a lot of water.

Going south, the Cheetah had already made an emergency treatment, but did not siege the Russian ship Alexander III with the Snow Leopard, but advanced southward. The Snow Leopard and the stubborn Dali had suppressed the Alexander III, and fired the other side in many places, and the hull was tilted. However, the Russian ship also recognized the Dali, and was in a position of not sinking Dali and then quickly. Dali was originally struggling to support it, but now it has been continuously blasted. All the damage measures have no power to recover from the excessive injuries. By the time the Alexander III was already dying and slowly sinking, the Dali had been abandoned. The remaining sailors were carried away by the destroyer of the torpedo team.

The Snow Leopard did not waste any more time, and rushed to chase the Cheetah south.

In another place, the Duke of Kutuzov and the Polodino battleships that were suspended, undoubtedly knew the destruction of the main force of the fleet. Facing the surrounding Chinese torpedo troops, looking at the huge shadow of the Chinese warships ahead, the remaining sailors finally chose to surrender.

The soldiers have made every effort. Since they have been defeated and have no way to escape, they can only choose to surrender.

Guangzhou number.

The situation of this flagship is not very optimistic at the moment. With the concentrated firepower of the four Japanese battleships, even if the Guangzhou guards are astonishing, it will inevitably be damaged. Among the four main turrets, only the main turrets of No. 2 and No. 3 are currently fighting. The motor of the main turret of No. 4 is under emergency repair. The main turret of No. 1 is seriously damaged. The sea water injected into the ammunition depot has been discharged and is undergoing emergency repairs, but the internal damage is too serious and cannot be repaired at sea.

At the side of the side of the warship, the upper side of the warship and the waterline position at the tail of the ship were penetrated many times. Fortunately, the upper layer of the Huajun armor box adopts an arch configuration, that is, the main body is located a little above the waterline, but at the side of the side of the side of the warship, three meters below the side of the waterline are connected to the side armor belt at a forty-five degrees. In this way, even if the Japanese artillery shell penetrates the main armor belt on the side of the side from the side of the side, it is still difficult to shake the horizontal armor inside, and cannot penetrate the armor box, which will damage the key parts inside.

The armor-piercing bombs that were shot in the non-armored box area were too little, and there were no vital parts in these places, which caused very limited damage to the hull. In addition, the efficient damage to the Chinese army made the Guangzhou-class a monster that seemed to be unable to be knocked down. Under the group fight of four opponents, they were hit by countless direct and near-missile bombs, but they always maintained their basic combat power and speed.

Commander Tower Battle Command Bridge.

"Long live"

"Long live the Guangzhou-level Iron King Kong"

Seeing that the American giant ship as tenacious as a nightmare finally sank, the Chinese naval officers excitedly threw their military caps to the ceiling, and many young staff members hugged each other excitedly, crying with joy.

"Okay, it's just a Satsuma class." Although Li Tianlin scolded, his upturned mouth undoubtedly revealed his true feelings. "This may be the last naval battle in this war. If you want to seize the opportunity to make more contributions, there are five Japanese battleships there..."

After a brief frenzy, the Chinese naval officers immediately returned to their original order.

"The Cheetah calls for a light signal and asks to return to the team..."

"Please allowance and return to the original battle position." Xu Fan said calmly, "Congratulations to Commander Sa Zhenbing, and ask the patrol troops to continue fighting."

Xu Bo's troops who turned to the northeast to pick up the Dongxiang formation, the Baoding and Anyang were now joining the Xu Fan formation, which was moving southward, and automatically became the pilot ship and the No. 2 of the Xu Fan formation, and at the same time launched a test launch on the new Japanese pilot ship, Anyi.

At this moment, above the sea, there was only one main battlefield left: the main formation of the Chinese army traveling south, the No. 1 Baoding, the No. 2 Anyang, the No. 3 Guangzhou, the No. 4 Fuzhou, the No. 5 Wenzhou, the No. 6 Zhangzhou, and the No. 7 Cheetah. On the north side, the Snow Leopard, the Sea Slogan, the Sanya, the Hanoi and the Da Nang were all chasing south at full speed.

On the west side of the Chinese army formation, the Japanese battleship formation was moving parallel to the south, including the No. 1 Ai Yi, the No. 2 Mikasa, the No. 3 Asahi, the No. 4 Shikishima, and the No. 5 Shirase.

The ships on both sides were shrouded in thick smoke and water columns. The occasional flashes in the forested water columns and smoke would arouse fanatical cheers from the Japanese lookouts, thinking that they hit another shot, but in fact, it might be just a flash of the guns when the other party fired their guns.

The Chinese army's observations were mainly about counting water columns, and the lost water column was confirmed as direct bombs.

Guangzhou Command Tower.

Li Tianlin looked at Xu Fan incredibly: "Marson, what do you mean?"

"Dongxiang is not a fool. They have been defeated, but they have no help in the fight." Xu Fan said calmly, "The sixteen large ships of the empire have only sank two. The injured ones include the Guangzhou, that is, four of them are seriously injured, while the Japanese Hatsuse and An Yi are not seriously injured. We also have huge lightning forces, including airships and planes, and the enemy cannot escape at all. On land, their situation is already in danger and will be divided and surrounded soon. On the North Korean side, Seoul will be captured soon, and we will also land north to completely cut off the enemy."

"If that's the case, what's the point of destroying the last troops in vain and pushing the entire country into the abyss of destruction?" Xu Fan smiled, "If I were Dongxiang, while I still had some chips in my hand, I would find a way out and negotiate with us. Although they were brave, they were not crazy."

Li Tianlin was stunned for a while and said unwillingly: "Marson, but even if the Japanese Navy has some understanding, they still have to obey the base camp and the emperor. Those people, but..."

"Do as I said." Xu Fan shook his head gently, "Our enemy is not just a Japan, but also those people... At this time, it is always the first choice to lose less power and even gain more power from the enemy."

Mikasa.

Heihachiro Togo, who had just arrived at the command position, looked at the Anyi in front of him facing Guangzhou, Fuzhou and the newly joined Baoding, Anyang, with a total of 28 twelve-inch cannons, which had been beaten to the point of being flaming with a blazing flames and was sad.

"The situation is getting worse and worse. Chinese warships in the north are joining the battle one after another, and the pressure behind them is also very high. The Kusae is already unable to do anything to face the Chinese army, one cheetah, two US Wisconsin, and if this continues, he will only have to fight or withdraw from the battle line." Shimamura Suo's face became more and more gloomy. "Commander, we might as well order the remaining destroyers to conduct lightning strikes and pull out the smoke screen to cover our team's retreat to the west. At least we can save several warships."

"Chief of Staff, can we still leave?" Akiyama Matsuyuki shook his head, "The Chinese have an overwhelming advantage in light troops, which gives them absolute initiative between war and defense. With airship guidance in the air, I can guarantee that in the west of us, not only will the Chinese army's lightning formations cruising, but there will also be submarine troops that ambushed us before and ready to ambush again."

"Sungoro, what about your opinion?" Shimamura Suo said, "Where do you think we should go?"

Akiyama Mano looked at Shimamura Soo and was silent for a long time, and a look of perseverance gradually appeared on his face.

"Chief of Staff, objectively judge, can our team still win? It can even be said that even if our team fights all their strength, how many Chinese warships can be defeated?" Akiyama Masaru spoke, Shimamura Suo's face changed drastically. "The Russians were defeated in Mongolia, and the situation in the army on the Liaodong Peninsula is dangerous. Now the naval battle has failed, and the Russian main fleet has been destroyed. Only our five warships are left, facing more than twice the enemy, and the enemy has obvious advantages in tactics, mass, light forces and air forces."

"Since that's the case, why should we persist? Isn't this war clear enough? We defeated Japan and have completely failed," Akiyama Masao said, and his tone suddenly became excited, "Since failure is destined, what are you waiting for? Do you have to wait until all the chips are lost? It's time to admit defeat now that we have a fleet in our hands, in North Korea and in Liaodong. Although the situation is unfavorable, these troops are useful to the Chinese and precious to the empire. This is our last bargaining chip. If we want to retain the last little dignity of Japan, we cannot lose all the chips."

Many officers in the bridge stopped their work in shock and stared at the famous genius adviser with different expressions.

"Mr. Commander-in-Chief, the war has gone to this day and it is meaningless to Japan." Akiyama Matsuyuki bowed deeply to Togo Heihachiro, "As for the failure of this battle, as the first staff officer, it is really hard to blame. After this battle, the position will be punished to thank the people."

"But no matter what, please keep the last bit of power of the Japanese Navy." Akiyama Matsuno looked up, his eyes filled with tears, and looked at Hirahachiro Togo, "These warships are precious, and they are the same for the Chinese. They can not only be used to defend Japan, but also to defend China and the entire East Asia."

Everyone was shocked and looked at Akiyama Masao incredibly.

"The American Dabai Fleet has been visited, and no one knows what the Americans will think, especially when they see that the fleets of our three countries are exhausted and have suffered heavy casualties." Akiyama Masao's face flickered under the flames of the muzzle that rose from time to time outside the porthole. "Will the British fleet and the French fleet take advantage of the situation to rob? The Chinese will not be able to not pay a heavy price to destroy our warships. Instead of both our two countries, it is better to shake hands and make peace, even if Japan can give up some rights, or even become China... Protective countries are better than the entire fleet, and the country is at slaughtered. We can fight against Russia together and curb Britain, the United States and France take advantage of the situation. In the future, China and Japan can join forces to challenge the power of Europe and the United States in Asia."

"Our chips are the remaining fleet and the army on the mainland. If all this is destroyed, then Japan will have nothing to bargain." Akiyama Mano took a deep breath and stared at Hirahachiro Togo with a bright look. "Commander, we are fighting this battle just to take advantage of the chaos within the Chinese country and exert external forces to unite the Russians to dismember China in one fell swoop. Now the Chinese people's victory is obviously impossible to reverse. In this case, as a small country and a neighbor of China, why should Japan take advantage of the Russians' fire and enter the abyss of destruction and extermination? Taking advantage of our bargaining chips, we should make peace with the Chinese people decisively."

"Xu Fan is a figure in China who is more than ten thousand people than one person. He has always been a very loyal military politician." Akiyama Masaki's face at this moment faintly shines. "More importantly, he also needs honors and more military achievements to vaguely restrain the new emperor of China. If we... join in, it is equivalent to giving him an extremely brilliant result, and able to greatly strengthen the strength of the navy and the right to speak in the Chinese political arena. He will not refuse."

Togo Heihachiro looked at Akiyama Masao in silence, his expression changing drastically.

"Commander, you can imagine that once our final fleet is destroyed, Japan will have to accept all the conditions of the Chinese, otherwise it will be destroyed." Akiyama Matsuyuki sighed, "Maybe the domestic officials are still fantasizing about the interference of the great powers to ensure Japan's sovereignty and independence, but the European and American powers are far away from the sky, and the Chinese are just lying on firewood and tasting gall to this point. They even sacrificed North Korea in the 18898 and tried their best to force us to start a war against China for the second time. It is obviously to completely defeat us and control Japan. The European and American powers encouraged us to fight against China, which was also ill-fated and harsh. Japan is just a pawn. When it has no value of utilization, it can be used to exchange interests with China. In the end, how miserable will Japan be"

Shimamura Soo looked at the military genius who had always seemed not very interested in politics, and seemed to have never really known this person.

The representative of the "Bagaya Deer" base camp, Navy Biao, reacted at this time, pulled out the saber and roared at Akiyama Matsushi, "Akiyama, do you want to betray His Majesty the Emperor? Such a ruthless word, I..."

"Taitou Jun, it is absolutely not allowed to draw a sword in the command center." Togo Hirahachiro, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said, "Put his sword and let him calm down."

The Navy Guard Commander Nagao Cultivation Nakano, who was responsible for military law and supervision of war, bowed slightly to Caibu Biao, and the Navy Guard rushed up to seize the saber.

"Mr. Commander, please don't bewitched by Jungoro." Caibu Biao stamped his feet and shouted, "As the loyal and brave imperial army of the Great Japanese Empire, he will serve His Majesty the Emperor for seven years. It is a glory and a duty. As a warrior, fight with the enemy to the end, and die as bright as a cherry blossom. This is..."

"Stop it." The Kaguchi Shangzhen, who had been tolerant, suddenly roared like a volcano erupting, "What death is as brilliant as a cherry blossom... Even though she knew that there was only one way to die, and it would harm the country even more, she had to bite the bullet and drag thousands of people to die together. What is the meaning of such a general and such loyalty and courage? This is a stupid move that only a red deer can do."

"Baga Valleykou, pull out your saber..."

"Shut up all of you." A roar made everyone's eardrums buzz. People looked at Hirahachiro Toyo in shock, as if they had never found such a huge energy contained in this short body. "In front of me, none of you have the qualifications to draw your sword. Now you can only ask you to go down and rest a military policeman and take the Toyota to the rest cabin."

Caibu Biao looked at Hirahachiro Toyo in disbelief, his face faded and his words stuttered: "Your Excellency Toyo...you...you..."

Togo Hirahachiro sighed, and his tone turned to peaceful: "Treasury, you are so excited, let's take a break first."

Seeing that Takabe Biao bowed in dismay, and was taken away by the naval guards, Akiyama Mano and Shimamura Soo looked at each other, and they were confused.

Hirahachiro Togo turned around and looked forward, looking at An Yihao who was blowing like rain but still fighting back bravely, he was silent for a while, and his voice was a little sad: "It's indeed difficult to win... Although we don't want to admit it, we tried our best but are still no match for the Chinese. Shenzhou... The cycle of heaven, the spiritual energy of the Shenzhou..."

"Your Excellency, have you been shaken too?". The combat staff member Kato Hiroji looked pale, "Since ancient times, no one has died, so he will keep his loyalty in the history. As a warrior, you must fight for the country and His Majesty the Emperor to the end."

He bowed deeply to Hirahachiro Togo and choked his tone: "Your Excellency, please cheer up and take us to fight happily, and live up to the grace of the country's nurturing. As soldiers, what you want is nothing more than a glorious way of death. Please don't let us survive with humiliation."

After hearing this, some young officers also had an excitement flush on their faces, who were originally lost, and they bowed one after another: "Your Excellency, please take us to fight."

"Just foolish."

Togo Heihachiro stared at them for a while, and said a coldly, which immediately raised his head in shock.

"If all the warriors die and the warships are gone, all that are left will be cowardly people, so what hope does Japan have for the future?"
