Another World: Naval Storm

The reason why Leo is leading the fleet to Donglai now is because on August 8, two more Rakshasa warships fled to Donglai for refuge. Leo learned the news in advance that Japan had sent warships to wait and see near Donglai, and if possible, they would rob two more warships.

Fortunately, Japan is still worried about the opinions of other powers and dare not act rashly. This gave Leo time to rush to the vicinity of Donglai. He planned to use the Japanese fleet as a whet.

Off the coast of Donglai, at noon.

"Sir, are we just going to watch the Russians run to Donglai?" asked Lieutenant Colonel Taro Oda.

"Don't worry, it's just a turtle in a jar! The Rakshasa warships that go in will belong to the Empire sooner or later!" Major General Masamichi Togo of the 7th Squadron was very envious of the two Rakshasa warships in Donglai Port.

The Japanese Combined Fleet is indeed very strong, but other fleets may not be. For example, Togo Masamichi only has one old armored cruiser and five gunboats under his command, and can only perform some unimportant tasks. If the Russians had not been frightened, they might have been able to break through the blockade.

"The Imperial Navy has intercepted several fleeing Rakshasa warships in various directions. They will be incorporated into various fleets after a brief repair. I believe our 7th Squadron will also be assigned!"

"That's great!" Taro Oda was very happy about the increased strength of his troops.

"There is a fleet approaching from the northwest, and the smoke column is very obvious! We don't know who the warships belong to or how many there are!" Upon hearing the report, Togo Masamichi quickly picked up the telescope and looked towards the northwest.

"Could it be our fleet?" Taro Oda was very optimistic. At this time, only Japanese ships were rampant in the Yellow Sea.

"That shouldn't be the case. The Combined Fleet is still near Mashijin, and all the other fleets except us are on the mainland!" Togo Masamichi said in confusion.

As the warship got closer, Togo Masamichi screamed, "Ah~ It's the Rakshasa warship! Run..."

The huge ship and the Rakshasa flag hanging on the mast all indicated that this was an enemy fleet. Knowing his own strength, Togo Masamichi quickly ordered his men to flee, as he would have to serve the Emperor at the bottom of the sea later.

Unfortunately, Togo Masamichi's flagship, the Fuso, was an old ship launched in 1878, with a displacement of only 3718 tons and a speed of only 13 knots, which was at its peak. As for the gunboats under his command, such as Kaohsiung, Chikushi, Toriumi, Maya, and Uji, they were only a few hundred tons and had a speed of 10 knots, and their strength was even more vulnerable.

"The Japanese are crawling like turtles, now let's go kick their asses!" The Leo fleet, with an average speed of 20 knots, chased after the Japanese 7th Squadron.

"Commander, the Rakshasas are too fast and will catch up with us soon!" Taro Oda said anxiously.

"Let Kaohsiung, Chikushi, Toriumi, Maya, and Uji escape in three directions, and Fuso will continue to move forward!" Togo Masamichi was gambling his life. This method might allow one or two warships to escape, which was better than everyone dying together.

"Crafty prey, disperse the fleet and tell the three captains that if their warships are damaged in the slightest, they will no longer be qualified to serve in the navy." Leo ordered.

"Main guns ready to fire!"

"Colonel, the enemy ship is about meters away from us. It's still a bit far and may not cause effective damage?" Musler has been promoted to captain of the Arminius, and Leo's new adjutant Lieutenant Dawson asked in confusion.

"Lieutenant, you just need to follow orders and learn more from your predecessor, Major Musler!" Leo warned.

"Yes! Senior, do you want to scare the Japanese?" Dawson muttered as he conveyed the order. He was also a graduate of Kaili College and had always heard of Leo's story.

"Bang!" The twin main guns on the bow fired two shells. The flames were just seen by Masamichi Togo who was observing the enemy situation. "?? Choosing such a distance, the Rakshasa are wasting shells."

As the sound got closer, Masamichi Togo realized something was wrong. One shell grazed the hull and shot into the water, while another shell directly penetrated the waterline armor of the Fuso, and the Fuso's speed of 13 knots was directly reduced to zero.

"Fire! Counterattack!" Togo Masamichi waved his command knife in vain, ordering the soldiers to fire. The Fuso, whose fire control was lagging behind, had four 4mm Krupp main guns that fought back so weakly that the impact points were scattered all over the place, posing no threat at all.

"Colonel, this is amazing!" Lieutenant Dawson waved his hands happily.

"Dawson, you should trust your comrades, and you should trust the battleship you are on, not to mention that your commander is favored by the goddess of luck!" Leo was very successful in pretending to be cool, and scared Dawson.

"Keep firing, and then see if there are any fish that have escaped."

Fuso's struggle was in vain. After three rounds of main gun fire, Fuso, hit by four bullets, sank to the bottom of the sea. Only a dozen of you lucky ones were floating on the sea.

"Sir, do we need to rescue the Japanese soldiers who fell into the water?" Lieutenant Dawson had just graduated and had just participated in the war, and he had not yet restrained his kind nature.

"Dawson, I don't see any survivors. Turn! Destroy the other Japanese warships!" Leo taught him a vivid lesson.

The 10-knot small gunboats only had a few 120mm naval guns as their most powerful weapons. On land, they were heavy artillery, but on the sea, they were just little brothers. The three armored cruisers, which were launched relatively recently, could easily deal with them. At this time, there were still two gunboats fleeing on the sea, and the other three had been sunk. Not everyone would be convinced by the Japanese Bushido. Now, since they could neither escape nor defeat, the two Japanese gunboats raised the white flag!

"Colonel, the Japanese have surrendered, what should we do?" The three armored cruisers did not open fire but circled around the surrendered warship, asking what to do next?

"Sink them!" Leo's face was a little gloomy.

"Sir, they surrendered... If others knew about this, we would be brought to a military court!" Dawson felt a little reluctant.

"You haven't seen the bad nature of the Japanese yet. Now you just need to follow my orders!" Leo liked this sunny and energetic adjutant, so he explained. "Our fleet is made up of Drakians and there are not many of them. Who do you send to look after them? The fleet's advantage is speed. These little guys will slow us down. I brought you here for the empire and glory, not for money to be cannon fodder!"

"And now we are a volunteer army, the Russian 4th Pacific Fleet! The Russians will be happy to take the blame for us!" Leo said insidiously.

Amid a burst of artillery fire, the Japanese 7th Squadron was completely destroyed. Except for a few people who were rescued, a total of more than 1000 Japanese officers and soldiers were killed.

[Dear Commander, congratulations on leading your fleet to a glorious victory! ]

[Obtain Merit Points 6100]

[Commander, please keep up the good work and create brilliance together]

"This wave of devils is worthless!"

A familiar advertising slogan sounded, making Leo frown. Dawson, who was unaware of the situation, thought that Leo was thinking about the next action plan of the fleet.
