"It seems that the overall situation of this battle has been decided, and the Russian fleet has no chance to win." Seeing that the joint fleet gradually completed the big turn before the enemy, and the golden time of the Russian fleet was completely over, Shang Jinfeng also made his own conclusion, although the war between the two sides was less than 20 minutes long.

Han Chao said: "Lao Zhang, I see that this video has a great value and should be preserved. In the future, as a textbook for military academy, in the era of heavy ships and giant cannons, seizing the horizontal head of the t-shaped character is the key to naval battles."

Zhang Weining shook his head and said, "I think this video is of little value and is easy to mislead. Togo Heihachiro's big swing in front of the enemy is itself an adventure. It is entirely because the Russian fleet itself is not good and wasted "golden time". If it were replaced by the British Navy or the German Navy, this tactic would not be successful at all. Therefore, this tactic is difficult to replicate. Go there and find an opponent like the Russian fleet."

Han Chao said: "Old Zhang, I don't agree with you. I don't have a good impression of the Japanese, but I have a national sentiment. As far as things go, I admire Hirahachiro Togo. I admit that the big swing in front of the enemy is quite risky, but fighting is a risky thing. A classic battle from ancient times to the present, that one was not won by adventure. Han Xin's battle of backwater, Hannibal's Nikan, and Nelson's Battle of Trafalgar, Han Xin, Hannibal, and Nelson all arranged battles against military common sense, but they all won, so they became famous generals. This is the case. And Hirahachiro Togo dared to turn around in front of the enemy, perhaps because he knew that his opponent was Russia and had a considerable chance of success. If it was against the British or German fleet, Hirahachiro Togo might not dare to take risks like this."

Zhang Weining wants to say something else. Shang Jinfeng said: "Okay, okay, let's discuss tactical matters after the battle is over. Now our mission is to focus on this battle and prepare to join the war. Just talk a few words, but don't be distracted."

After hearing Shang Jinfeng's words, the two stopped arguing about the "Great Rotation in the Front Enemy" and put their attention back on the screen. At this time, the second team of the Joint Fleet had all completed the turn. Although the second team was armored cruisers and equipped with 203mm main guns, it still greatly increased the firepower of the Joint Fleet. Moreover, the 3rd and 4th teams were almost around the tail of the Russian fleet, so that the joint fleet could strike the head and tail of the Russian fleet at the same time.

The Russian fleet had no power of resistance at this time. The four Borodino-class battleships suffered a lot. The flagship Duke Suvorov seemed to have suffered a lot. They had withdrawn from the battle queue and were replaced by Alexander III as the first ship. The four battleships led by the joint fleet immediately concentrated all their firepower and attacked Alexander III.

Alexander III was forced to turn sharply to the right, and the course changed from northeast to southeast. However, since Alexander III was not a flagship, and although the Duke of Suvorov withdrew from the battle queue, it did not hang the banner of "no matter", which also caused chaos in the Russian fleet. Borodino, Eagle, Osliabia and others behind Alexander III all turned with Alexander III, but the Pearl and Emerald did not react and continued to drive northeast.

Hirahachiro Togo also commanded the joint fleet to turn right to maintain suppression of the Russian fleet, so the Pearl and Emerald look like they were rushing towards the joint fleet. Hirahachiro Togo obviously mistakenly believed that the Russian fleet planned to send small warships such as the Pearl and Emerald to launch a suicide attack to cover the main warship. This is also a common tactic used by the navy.

Although the battleship has heavy armored cannons, it is also very scared when facing the wolves in small warships. Because the small warship has small targets, fast speed, flexible steering, and is equipped with the most feared killer fish*thunder, the battleship, so once the battleship is approached by a small warship, it will be very dangerous.

At this time, the joint fleet had already gained an advantage. Of course, Hirahachiro Togo did not dare to take risks like playing the enemy's big swing just now, so he immediately ordered the fleet to turn left and head northeast, temporarily giving up the suppression of the Russian fleet, and ordered the *boat team to come to help with the war. It is the most reliable to use small warships against small warships.

However, the Pearl and Emerald did not raid the Combined Fleet. After finding that their position was wrong, they immediately turned and returned to the large queue. At this time, the six warships of the Combined Fleet's 1st Team had already completed the steering and left the battle. The Russian fleet seized the opportunity of the Combined Fleet's 1st Team and launched a shelling attack. They actually hit the Mikasa and the Fuji one shot, but did not bring a fatal blow to the two ships.

The commander of the 2nd team, Hitomi Omura, who followed the 1st team, judged the situation on the battlefield and believed that the Russian fleet had already moved southeast under oppression and could not turn left at this time. The joint fleet should continue to complete the "t" tactics and maintain suppression of the Russian fleet. So Hitomi Omura Omura ordered that the navigation remain unchanged and speed up to the Russian fleet to reach the top of the formation of the Russian fleet, and still firmly control the position of the "t" horizontal head.

Although the 6 armored cruisers of the 2nd Team were insufficient in firepower, their speed was faster, and they quickly increased the ship speed to 18 knots and continued to occupy the T-head. Moreover, because the distance between the two sides was shortened to about 3,000 meters at this time, the artillery effect of the joint fleet was becoming more and more obvious. Although the main gun caliber of the armored cruiser was small, the rate of fire was faster. In addition, the advantage of "Kishnase*", although it could not penetrate the heavy armor of the Russian ship, the shells would ignite a raging fire when they fell on the Russian ship, and the threat was also quite large. The first ship of the Russian fleet, the Alexander III, scored more than 10 bombs in a row, and the entire front deck was ignited, and it was forced to withdraw from the battle sequence.

At this time, although no warships on both sides had been sunk, the Russian fleet had two main warships, including the flagship Duke of Suvorov, who had withdrawn from the combat sequence, and the other main warships were each injured. The joint fleet only had flagship Mikasa, but they were seriously injured, but they could still participate in the battle. The other main warships were either minimally invasive or intact, and their combat effectiveness was basically not affected.

At this time, Hirahachiro Togo discovered that his turn order was wrong. Fortunately, the 2nd Team took the right choice and continued to suppress the Russian fleet. Therefore, the overall situation on the battlefield was still beneficial to the joint fleet. So Hirahachiro Togo hurriedly ordered the fleet to turn backwards collectively and return to the battlefield. In this way, the 1st Team reversed the order. It turned out that the Hiraki armored cruiser behind the hall turned into a head ship, while the flagship Mikasa became a tail ship, heading northwest to west. However, this was the fastest way to turn, which showed that Hiraki Togo could still maintain a clear mind at this time.

However, on the battlefield, the situation changed again. In order to continue to seize the word "t", the second team of the Joint Fleet increased its speed to 18 knots. Although it continued to maintain pressure on the Russian fleet and severely damaged Alexander III, due to its speed too fast and no extreme slowdown, it passed through the front of the Russian fleet.

The Russian fleet finally got a breather. The leading Borodino immediately turned right, intending to take advantage of this opportunity to break through the interception of the Joint Fleet in one fell swoop. The second team of the Joint Fleet found that it was too fast and actually let go of the Russian fleet. Then he turned left and turned around, and kept a single-row formation to chase the Russian fleet.

At this time, the battle lasted for about an hour, and the warships of both sides broke off contact, and the battlefield entered the adjustment time. They calmed down for the time being. Both sides seized this time, adjusted their queues, and at the same time stepped up the damage control, rescued the wounded, and accumulated strength for the battle to wait for a while.

However, at this time, the battleship of the Russian fleet, the Osliabia battleship, was also the first sunken warship in this naval battle. The servo and three transmission shafts of the flagship Duke Suvorov were all damaged, and the two main gun turrets were also damaged, basically losing power and combat power, and could only turn right in place, so they completely left the queue. Fortunately, Alexander III was seriously damaged, but its power was not damaged. It seized this time to put out the fire on the front deck and followed the brigade. So the Russian fleet was first shipped by Borodino, followed by Eagle, and Alexander III ranked third, leading other warships to sail to the northeast. But at this time, the 3rd and 4th teams of the joint fleet caught up and bit the cruiser detachment at the tail of the Russian fleet for fire. At this time, the Russian fleet had no intention of fighting again, so they could only fight and retreat like this.

The 1st team of the United Fleet also took this opportunity to readjust the queue. Mikasa finally became the first ship again and continued to lead the fleet to fight. He also discovered the lonely Duke Suvorov, which was just the opportunity to hit the dog. Mikasa first launched * at Duke Suvorov, but missed it and fired it. At this time, he found that the Russian fleet had completed the right turn and advanced to the northeast. So Hirahachiro Togo made a quick decision, abandoned Duke Suvorov, and also led the fleet to turn northwards to intercept the Russian fleet.

Just then, the 2nd Team of the Joint Fleet also rushed over and met with the 1st Team. Because the 2nd Team was fast, Hirahachiro Togo ordered the 2nd Team to chase the front of the Russian fleet to intercept, and he led the 1st Team and then followed.
