War is cruel. Cannonballs can kill Japanese soldiers, but they can also kill Chinese officers and soldiers. Even though most sailors are hiding behind thick armor to fight, the sailors have been fighting for nearly two hours with high load, and their physical strength is exhausted. Great, what supports them now is the belief in survival and the honor of victory. This is also the difference between naval officers and soldiers and army officers and soldiers. , the escape of individual soldiers is meaningless at all, and where can they escape to the vast sea?But the navy is a whole. Every warship and every formation is fighting as a whole, rather than a battle of one person, one shot, one bullet. Therefore, the navy needs stronger belief and discipline. The largest warship in the world is not as good as a whale waiting to be slaughtered.
The shells flew across the sea with the shriek of death and then hit the opponent's warship heavily. On the Zhonghua 3 and the Alexander, the two flying dragon flags and Andre flags were doing a battle of will, tactics, and steel. , a bloody contest.On the broad sea, the two fleets faced each other like two giant steel dragons, and dense artillery fire interspersed and staggered at high speed between the two camps.Now it is the fairest duel in the entire Vladivostok naval battle, and I am afraid it is also what every admiral looks forward to, an upright fleet decisive battle!
At the same time, Guan Xuqing was sitting on the dragon chair in the upper study room, looking forward to the news of the victory of the Chinese fleet.Judging from the front battle report just sent, the current war has entered the most critical moment. Although the coastal defense fleet has the upper hand in terms of firepower and military strength, everything on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and every small change is possible. To change the outcome of the war, it is still hard to say who will win the battle in the end.
"Your Majesty..." Liu Buchan's voice finally pulled Guan Xuqing out of his worries.
"Oh, Zixiang, you are here. The battle in Vladivostok worries me!" Guan Xuqing sighed.
"Does your majesty remember the scene when we fought against the British fleet in Malacca last year? I still remember that naval battle without the help of airships, it would not be so easy to win in the end. So I suggest sending an airship formation over quickly, so that we can There will be a little more chance of winning." Liu Buchan suggested.
"Zixiang, you have simplified the problem."
"Oh? Please make it clear, Your Majesty."
"Do you know a word, the so-called sharp weapon of the country should not be shown to others. The airship is a trump card in the military of the empire. It must not be used lightly until the most critical moment. Once it is figured out by the opponent, it will be lost. deterrence."
"Oh, so that's the case, it's still the emperor who sees Wanli clearly."
Guan Xuqing stared at Liu Buchan, and said meaningfully: "Zixiang, if our fleet can win this big battle without the assistance of the airship, then it will show the extraordinary strength of the Imperial Navy."
Vladivostok.
Looking at the blazing sea, Wakqin's mood sank a little bit. He even hoped that a shell would hit the command tower and take his soul to meet God. Unfortunately, the Chinese Fleet Division has now turned its guns and besieged the Torch crazily. And Pegasus, it seems that the two ships are in danger.It's not that Vakchen has never thought about fighting the Chinese to the death. He is confident that even if he is at a disadvantage now, he is absolutely sure to kill a few cruisers. will completely collapse.But it is obviously too late to organize the fleet to break through to the far sea now. The two Zhonghua-class warships are lying at the mouth of the sea like two giant beasts, waiting to deal a fatal blow to the Far East Fleet at any time.
The time pointed to 11:23, and the massacre of the coastal defense fleet began.After the Swift, Torch, and Pegasus sank one after another, the formation of the Far East Fleet was completely disorganized.Lin Jianzhang immediately ordered the main warships Fuyuan, Ningyuan, Weiyuan, and Luyuan to besiege the Russian flagship Alexander, and at the same time let the rest of the warships concentrate their artillery fire on the Nikolai, completely disintegrating a core strategy and tactics of Vakchen.
In the face of the extremely ferocious artillery fire from the Yuanzi-class warship, the Alexander already seemed unable to do what he wanted. In particular, the Fuyuan fired three 7-inch high-speed armor-piercing shells, which immediately penetrated the battered waterline armor of the Alexander. One of the shells It exploded directly in the power cabin, and two power boilers exploded loudly. The violent flames passed through the damaged pipe and several cabins to the ammunition cabin, where a more thrilling explosion was triggered. The flames rushed through the upper deck, The sailors who were busy there were rushed to a height of more than 20 meters away. In an instant, the sound of hissing, burning of flames, and explosions became one piece, resounding through the sky!
The situation is even worse on the Nikolai not far away, where this behemoth is being hunted by Jiangzi-class warships. This is a game where the small fish eat the big fish. , and couldn't handle it.The sharp-fired Haitian was responsible for piercing through the thick armor of the enemy ship, while the Jiangzi-class battleship launched a frenzied strafing at the guns and soldiers on the upper tower. The Nikolai was no longer an awe-inspiring giant battleship. A cannon target at the mercy of others.In half an hour, the deck of the Nikolay suffered nearly 700 shells, most of the firepower facilities were destroyed, the side armor was beaten into a honeycomb shape, there were so many bullet holes that it was impossible to seal them, and the seawater poured violently into it. Carried out, making the Nikolai look like a drunk at this time, the entire hull tilted severely to the right. Although the sailors injected 10 tons of water to the port side, this tilt was still unstoppable.Soon, the bow of the Nikolai was completely submerged in the water, and the stern of the ship was raised high. The sailors on the ship began to abandon the ship and escape. Twenty minutes later, the Nikolai, which had completely lost its combat effectiveness, was captured by four torpedo boats. Two waves of torpedoes completely sank...
Unfortunately, when the flagship was trapped and the second main battleship was sunk, the Campton, Cardinal, Leander, and Rambler completely lost command and ran around like four headless flies However, after all, they cannot escape the firepower range of Chinese warships, especially the heavy artillery attacks of Zhonghua-class warships. The twelve 290mm 140-degree main guns have a super hit rate, and the shells even penetrate directly at a distance of 5000 meters. The hull of the Campton was destroyed, and only six such main gun shells sent the warship and the Rambler into the bottom of the sea. For the gunboats and torpedo ships of the Russian army, the Zhonghua 3 was almost one shot. destroy them all.The remaining Cardinal and Leander were rushed, and they turned on their horsepower, trying to rush out from the two Zhonghua-class battleships, but unfortunately, the Nicholas had just been cleaned up, and the Haitian took Jiang The word-class battleship has already covered and killed it at the fastest speed.The two warships struggled to the greatest extent, but in the end they only destroyed one of the main guns of the Haitian and three secondary guns of the Minjiang. After this hour, the two warships were irreparable with gunpowder smoke and fire. sank to the bottom of the sea.
Seeing the Chinese warships gradually approaching from all around, Wakchen closed his eyes sadly.despair!Unspeakable despair!Now there is only one lonely Alexander left in the huge Far East Fleet. The Wings of Death have spread and are covering the sky above the Alexander.From this moment on, the honor of the imperial soldier, the honor of the navy, the honor of the tsar and everything related to it has nothing to do with him.He handed over the command to continue fighting to Vahihiri, just patted him on the shoulder, did not say anything, then came to the deck quietly, looked at the blue water again, his face There is no expression.Suddenly, there was an urgent sound of piercing the air from far to near, and Wakechen raised his head. It was a huge shell with a diameter of 7 inches that was hitting the top of his head. A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth. Waiting to be taken to heaven by this shell.
"Boom!" The massacre of the wolves has begun...

Soaring Front: World War I Chapter 2 After the Naval Battle
It was already noon, and the sun finally climbed to the highest point. Broken hulls and mutilated corpses were everywhere in the golden sea water. The ships of the coastal defense fleet were searching for and rescuing the sailors who fell into the water, and then towed the old-fashioned gunboats that could still float. Walk.
The fires on Taipei and Xiangjiang have been extinguished, but the hulls have been damaged beyond recognition.Until the fire was extinguished, the captain of Taipei, Liu Changqing, was still standing on the deck, and he was ready to sink with the ship.Although the Taipei did not sink in the end, it was no longer capable of sailing. Liu Changqing was filled with grief. He knew how much manpower and material resources the country had spent to build such a warship, but now it was destroyed in his own hands.
Looking at the calm sea, the supreme commander Lin Jianzhang was silent. At this time, he had no joy of victory. Looking at the corpses of Chinese and Russian soldiers floating on the sea, a sense of sadness suddenly came to his heart.This battle will be recorded in the annals of history as the largest naval battle since the invention of steam warships by human beings, but this victory was won with the blood of countless soldiers.
In the deacon's room of the Military Aircraft Department, Feng Xianghua, Liu Buchan, Li Hongzhang and others were all sitting quietly. There was already a large pile of memorials on the desk, but no one was in the mood to read them.
Every time footsteps were heard in front of the window, several people always stood up at the same time, but they all came to deliver reports waiting for instructions from various places, but there was no news of the news they wanted to know.
There was another sound of "thump, thump, thump" footsteps, and the tea bowls in the hands of all present trembled, and they glanced at each other, but no one stood up this time.
However, the little eunuch who ran all the way was not as reserved as they were, and shouted loudly: "Victory in Vladivostok, wipe out the Far East Fleet..."
Liu Buchan was the most urgent. He walked to the door in three steps at a time, snatched the telegram from the young eunuch with one hand, and laughed loudly at the end: "What a Lin Jianzhang, I did not misread you! Haha..."
At this time, other people in the warm pavilion had gathered around, and after reading the contents of the telegram, their faces that were originally full of sorrow now broke into smiles.Everyone present knows that the Far East Fleet is the trump card of the Russian Navy. Now that it has been completely wiped out by our army, Chinese warships will be able to gallop across the Far East waters in the future.
But in retrospect, Liu Buchan was still a little scared. Lin Jianzhang went into battle in a hurry, and the coastal defense fleet had just been formed. Many officers were urgently transferred from fleets from various places. This was a huge test for Lin Jianzhang's ability to organize and coordinate command However, if the opponent is a weak navy like Australia and New Zealand, it will be fine, but it is the Far East Fleet, which is known as the number one in the Far East. This battle is really too dangerous.
Feng Xianghua, the supreme military leader and Minister of the Army Department of the empire, was not only joyful but also worried. Now the empire has completely controlled the sea power in the Far East, but the always proud Tsar Nicholas will never let it go. With this revenge, the Russian army is bound to go south in a big way, and now Zhang Zuolin's Far East Frontier Army has only eight divisions. It is really hard to say whether it can withstand the crazy offensive of the Russians.
When Wang Shang reported the news of the navy's victory, Guan Xuqing's expression seemed to be very calm, and he just nodded slightly to express his understanding, but his uncontrollably trembling hands revealed the excitement in his heart at this time.
A large map of one in two million was hung on the wall, and Guan Xuqing stared at the location of Shanghai Shenwei on the map.After a while, I turned my attention to the East Siberia region, where 200+ Russian troops are gathering. I believe that Nicholas II will order a large-scale southward movement in the near future.Will their attack target be Hailanpao? If so, can Zhang Zuolin defeat the 10,000+ Russian army like he defeated the Far East Army? What if the opponent's target is not Hailanpao?Don't forget that there is a long and narrow border between China and Russia. It is impossible for every place to be impenetrable. They can find a weak link at any time and tear a gap. When the gap is broken, it will be too late to block it.
The next morning, Liu Buchan reported the victory of the Far East Fleet in the Vladivostok naval battle. The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were all elated and congratulated the emperor one after another.Guan Xuqing was full of energy. Looking back at the "Upright and Bright" plaque written by Emperor Shunzhi on the main hall of Qianqing Palace, his heart was ups and downs and he couldn't help himself.In the span of ten years, the Chinese navy has grown from nothing, from the initial difficult beginnings to the present, which has defeated the most powerful British, French, and Russian navies in the world, and has become a Great Wall of Steel on the defense line of the empire. Words.He couldn't help being full of pride, turned around and waved his arms to the ministers, and said loudly: "God bless the common people, God bless China."
All the civil and military men knelt together: "Long live my emperor, long live the Chinese Empire!"
On this day, "China Daily" and other media first published the news of the victory of the Vladivostok naval battle, which immediately caused an uproar in the whole country.Since the reign of Emperor Daoguang, foreigners have been bullying China with strong ships and sharp guns. As long as foreigners' warships come over, they will be paid for land and compensation. Now our Chinese army is almost invincible and invincible. This makes the people feel angry .Regardless of a person's status, level of knowledge and culture, he has a sense of national pride, and even traffickers will be happy for the strength of the country.
After the early court, Guan Xuqing specifically kept Liu Buchan and Feng Xianghua. He smiled and said to Liu Buchan, "Zixiang, you, the governor of the navy, have contributed a lot to the victory in this naval battle."
"The emperor has congratulated you. It's all due to Lin Jianzhang and the officers and soldiers in front. I just supervised from the rear." Liu Buchan hurriedly said modestly.
Guan Xuqing's eyes flickered: "Why should Zixiang be humble, among other things, the Lin Jianzhang you recommended to me is really the pillar of the country. I said that if the Russian fleet can be defeated without the help of the airship, then it can show that the strength of the imperial navy has already reached its peak." He has reached a considerable height, and Lin Jianzhang has indeed achieved this, and I will greatly promote this man." He paused for a moment, and continued: "I will pass on my will, give Lin Jianzhang the rank of Vice Admiral, and confer on him the Imperial Far East Fleet. The position of the commander, stationed in Vladivostok, is responsible for the defense of China's territorial waters north of the Bohai Sea. After going down, the Ministry of the Navy will draw up a plan for the establishment of the Far East Fleet, and some warships will be transferred from other fleets in the near future."
"twitter."
Seeing Feng Xianghua's hesitant expression, Guan Xuqing said with a smile, "Xianghua, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Originally, Feng Xianghua saw the emperor Longyan Zhengyue, and he didn't want to disturb the emperor's good mood, but the matter was urgent and he had to say, "Qizou emperor, according to reliable reports, the original news that Russia released troops in East Siberia was false. "
"What!" Guan Xuqing immediately became vigilant.
"Now I have figured it out. It turns out that they have been gathering in the northern part of Mongolia. At present, they have assembled nine divisions and are marching towards the Kulun area." It is a loophole in military intelligence, and he is also responsible.
Guan Xuqing was speechless for a while, and finally his nervous expression returned to calm, and he said to Feng Xianghua: "The Russians are deliberately setting off smoke bombs, just be more vigilant in the future."
"Cha." Feng Xianghua let go of the heart he had been holding all along.
"Have you called the Northwest Military Region yet?"
"The news was telexed early in the morning."
"It seems that this important matter is about to fall on Zhang Yu..." Guan Xuqing stood up, pacing in front of the throne in deep thought, Feng Xianghua and Liu Buchan knew that the emperor was thinking about something, and neither of them dared to make a sound.After half a cup of tea, Guan Xuqing sat back on the throne again. The doubts on his face had dissipated, and he said to Feng Xianghua: "The Russians can't move the head but also want to hit the tail. They want to make a surprise, so that we can't care about it. Let's deal with him in the same way as he did."
"Xianghua, I want you to send two telegrams..." Guan Xuqing's expression was half a smile, and Feng Xianghua was confused by such a sentence out of nowhere.
"Please make it clear to the emperor."
"A telegram was sent to Zhang Yu, asking him to organize troops to go to the front as soon as possible, and another telegram was sent to Zhang Zuolin, asking him to lead the Far Eastern Frontier Army to march to East Siberia once the Russians started war against Mongolia." Guan Xuqing said every word. Speak very loudly.
"The emperor means..." Feng Xianghua obviously didn't understand the second half of the emperor's sentence.
"I also give the Russians an embarrassment. Nicholas II's Far East Army stationed in East Siberia has been wiped out by us. Now that he has assembled the main force in northern Mongolia, his defense must be empty. We just take advantage of this Opportunity cut right into the heart of the Russians."
"I have the guts to say that if the Far East Frontier Army sends troops, the Northeast Frontier will be empty. If the Russians take advantage of the void and enter, I'm afraid it will be difficult to save them."
"Xianghua, when did you become timid? I once said that war is a political investment with the highest risk and the highest return. If you want to receive rich returns in the future, you must dare to take risks. Besides, I have thought about it At this time, the Russians will never dare to easily invest too many troops in the Far East, and don't forget that there are still three German divisions stationed on his western border."
"It's still the emperor who thinks carefully, and the minister will do it now."
Feng Xianghua and Liu Buchan both retreated. Guan Xuqing was about to go back to the palace to rest, but the telegraph room sent an important telegram. Guan Xuqing glanced at it casually. The inscription read: Emperor Wilhelm of the German Empire, he immediately became interested. I have been busy with the war against Russia, and haven't had a special understanding of the situation in Europe for a long time.In the telegram, William first congratulated Guan Xuqing on China's brilliant victory on the Far East battlefield.Immediately after the conversation changed, he began to chatter about how the German army has faced many difficulties on the European and African battlefields since the start of the war, and expressed his disdain for the vacillating Italians. Finally, he hoped that His Majesty the Emperor of China would, out of the standpoint of an ally, Send an army to Europe to support Germany on the Western Front.
