Another World: Naval Storm

"What, the torpedo is gone?"

"Yes, Lieutenant, all the torpedoes have been released!" A sailor wiped the sea water splashing on his face.

After releasing the torpedoes, the torpedo boats turned around one after another, and only three boats were left to continue attacking the Rakshasa fleet!

"General Tohei Shimosaburo once said that the rise and fall of the empire depends on this battle. Please help me!" The lieutenant named Zhutu Fenglin bowed to everyone on the boat.

"Please tell me!" "What should we do?" asked a dozen crew members.

"We still have a torpedo, which is our ship. If we ram the Rakshasa warship, the power will not be small. At least we can paralyze a warship!" Zhu Tu Fenglin looked at them with pleading eyes!

"Let's do it!" "For the empire!" "Long live the emperor!" Seeing that they all agreed, Zhu Tu Fenglin aimed at a Rakshasa battleship and quickly rammed it. The Rakshasa battleship's secondary guns kept firing to intercept. The shells hit around the torpedo boat, and the waves stirred up pushed the hull.

"What are they doing?" The other two watched as Zhu Tu Fenglin's torpedo boat crashed into a Rakshasa warship, and the flames of the instant explosion rose several meters high.

"Zhu Tujun is a true warrior. Are you willing to follow his example?" Brainwashed by Bushido, they are now full of passion and rush forward roaring!

In the end, the two torpedo boats paralyzed another Rakshasa battleship with a suicide attack amid shouts of "Long live the Emperor".

After a whole night of naval battle, the damaged flagship Suvorov of the Russian Pacific 2nd Fleet was finally sunk by the Japanese fleet, the Alexander III was also hit by a torpedo and sank, and two or three cruisers were sunk and damaged. The Japanese also lost 5 torpedo boats and 1 destroyer in the counterattack of the Russians. This time the Japanese made a huge profit.

"A bunch of idiots commanding a shabby fleet manned by a bunch of amateur sailors!" Rear Admiral Quest cursed, forgetting that he was also one of the idiots.

"We can't go to Vladivostok anymore. The Japanese must have set traps everywhere!"

"Go to the Pacific Ocean. That's the only way to survive!"

The Russian Empire Navy, which had suffered a series of heavy losses, was already in a state of panic, and many people had doubts about whether they could reach Vladivostok alive. Under such emotional doubts, Russian Navy Rear Admiral Quest simply led his four fast cruisers to leave the fleet overnight, and fled south at full speed.

This move was beyond the Japanese's expectations. The four cruisers did the opposite, jumped out of the encirclement of the Combined Fleet that was chasing the northward Rakshasa Navy, and fled directly south to Maharika, a colony of Yemelika, thus escaping the disaster.

"Four cruisers escaped. This is a huge mistake! We must not let other Rakshasa warships escape!" Tohei Shimosaburo scolded, which made the people who were overwhelmed by victory feel ashamed.

Meanwhile, the Japanese combined fleet was still closely following the remaining fleet of the Rakshasa Navy that was fleeing northward. At noon the next day, the Rakshasa fleet was intercepted by the Japanese fleet again. Facing the roar of the Japanese naval guns again, most of the Rakshasa Navy officers and soldiers had lost the courage to resist.

"Sir, the soldiers don't want to fight anymore! They all want to return home alive!" a major sobbed. Their spirits have reached their limit!

"General, please have mercy!"

"Yes!!! General, please have mercy!"

They all proposed to surrender to the Japanese army to the temporary commander Nebogatov. Faced with the lack of fighting spirit of his subordinates and the heavy casualties of the fleet, Nebogatov also believed that resistance was meaningless. Facing his subordinates, he could only painfully bear the responsibility of surrender and raised the white flag to the Japanese fleet with tears in his eyes, "We surrender!"

Thus, a miracle in the history of world naval warfare was born. The reinforcement operation of the Rakshasa Empire Navy across half the planet ended with almost the entire army being annihilated when it was about to reach its destination. The Second Pacific Fleet, which the Rakshasa Empire had assembled by scraping its various fleets, was wiped out by the Japanese army.

The battle between the Russian navy of the Tsar and the Japanese combined fleet had already determined the winner: the main force of the Russian navy almost lost everything, and only three of the 40 warships that came to reinforce reached their destination, Vladivostok. More than 20 were sunk, nine were captured by the Japanese army, and another four fled to neutral countries.

The Russian Navy lost more than 20 tons of naval tonnage, more than 1 officers and soldiers were killed or wounded, including 5 killed and more than 6 captured. Even the seriously injured fleet commander Luo Zhijies was not spared and was also captured by the Japanese. The Japanese only lost 5 torpedo boats and a destroyer, with a tonnage loss of less than 4000 tons and 900 casualties, including only more than 200 killed.

The Russian Empire and Japan had basically decided the winner in this war. The Russian navy suffered a series of defeats. After losing the Port Arthur fortress and the Pacific Fleet, the Second Pacific Fleet that came to reinforce was basically annihilated. In the decisive battle of Fengtian, the 2 Russian troops were defeated by the 33 Japanese troops. The Russian Empire basically had no trump card to turn things around in the Far East.

Is this the end? How is it possible? Leo has already contacted the Rakshasa Fleet stationed in Vladivostok in advance, hoping that they can dispatch to disrupt the commerce with Japan.

The main task of this squadron stationed in Vladivostok was to harass Japan's maritime transport lines during wartime. The fleet consisted of fast warships, including three armored cruisers and one protected cruiser, namely the Gromoboy, Ross, and Rurik armored cruisers, and the Warrior protected cruiser. Unfortunately, the Warrior was damaged by a reef, and the Vladivostok base facilities were rudimentary and could not be repaired, which meant that it had lost its combat effectiveness. The only ships available to the Rakshasa Vladivostok squadron were the three armored cruisers.

The strength of these three armored cruisers is average. The Rurik armored cruiser was already an old ship in 3. There are design defects, weak armor protection, unreasonable artillery layout, and the actual combat effectiveness is very average. Gromoboy and Ross are improved models of Rurik, with enhanced armor protection, but the old problem of unreasonable artillery layout has not changed. Although the tonnage of these three armored cruisers has reached ~ tons, they are suitable for maritime commerce raiding operations, not for battleship duels.

After the outbreak of the Romanian-Japanese War, the disadvantaged Pacific Fleet of the Russian Empire had to retreat to the port. At that time, the Combined Fleet was powerful, and the Vladivostok Squadron did not dare to come out. After being blocked by the Japanese until the ice period, the Japanese Combined Fleet no longer took the Vladivostok Squadron seriously. The ice period of Vladivostok is about 110 days. During this period, the Japanese were sure that the Vladivostok Squadron would not cause them any trouble! But what the Japanese did not expect was that the Vladivostok Squadron actually broke the ice and drove the squadron out.
