Japanese Combined Fleet Sorties
Chapter 78:Japanese Combined Fleet Sorties
Vladivostok is Russia's only unfrozen port in the Far East and is the main base of the Pacific Squadron.
The inner port of Vladivostok is narrower and shallow, with only one entrance and exit.
The Russian Navy’s Pacific Fleet, which is home to the Pacific Fleet, rarely sails and trains less than a few times a year.
The garrison of Vladivostok, with the artillery of the port forts, adds up to a hundred or so.
There has never been a joint exercise, and the Army's guard force and shore-based defense, as well as the navy, are each in their own hands.
On the evening of the break in Japan and Russia, the main force of the Japanese Navy left the port with two goals, one of which was naturally the Vladivostok port and the other was the Russian warships in the port of Incheon.
At this critical moment, Russian soldiers and soldiers are still in a state of peace paralysis.
The Pacific Squadron is moored outside Vladivostok, and the ship's vigilance still implements the usual regulations.
However, in fact, the Russians are not stupid, although they completely think that Japan dare not do it to themselves, but Japan broke off diplomatic relations, but also issued orders have been issued.
By the time the Japanese fleet left port, the Kremlin had issued an order for the Russian Pacific Fleet to step up its vigilance.
However, when the order came down, it was set to be executed five days later.
Five days later, the Russian Pacific Fleet decided to take additional measures to strengthen vigilance.
At night, the lightning net is not turned on, but the entrance to the inner harbor is illuminated by the searchlight on the warship.
The commander of the Russian Army in the Far East, Kuropatkin, was a typical military bureaucrat with little practical experience, doing things indecisively and undecided.
Pacific Fleet Chief of Staff Gen. Witte Heft said "war cannot be fought."
Blind faith and hubris, do not put the Japanese in the eyes of the attitude, but in the end, really ushered in the war.
Three days after the departure of the Japanese Navy, the Russian army was still relaxed, and the fleet led by the commander of the Japanese joint fleet, Dongjiro, has quietly arrived offshore.
Some time before the attack, Dongxiang Pingba Lang officially issued the first order of the fleet: "My joint fleet is about to arrive in Vladivostok to destroy the enemy fleet of Vladivostok and Incheon Port ... This battle is indeed related to the safety of the country, and you must work hard."
Standing on the battleship of the Sanjie, Dongxiang Pingbaro, the mood is like the waves of the Sea of Japan, not calm.
Although Japan launched a war against Russia without choice, as the commander of the combined fleet, he knew better than anyone, this was a gamble of the Japanese Empire.
In the view of Dongxiang Pingjiro, even if the Japanese Navy can sneak in the evening, so that the Russian Pacific Fleet loses its combat effectiveness, but in the end, the victory of this naval battle, Japan's chance of winning four CDs is not.
This kind of thing naturally does not let the people around us know that this will greatly hurt the morale of the fleet, and this war Japan must win.
As an Asian, Dongxiang is well aware of the strength of the Western world, even if it does all the strength of Japan, it cannot defeat Russia, but it can only seriously damage the military strength of the Russian Far East, and then end this war with Japan's victory under the mediation of the West.
At this moment, the most admired person in Dongxiang Pingba Lang was Luo Haiping.
Fan Yize under the mysterious fleet, under the command of Luo Haiping, in just two hours, hard and completely annihilated the British Far East Fleet, and with a powerful attitude, with the British peace, so that the British did not dare to immediately retaliate.
This was the first time the Asians had defeated the Europeans, and they had defeated the British Far Eastern Fleet head-on.
And Luo Haiping, who commanded this naval battle, then appeared in front of the whole world.
The Chinese naval general, even the British, was highly appreciated and called "Oriental Nelson".
In recent days, Dongxiang Pingba Lang has been analyzing the Java Sea War, although the British have taken care of their faces, did not tell the whole situation of the naval battle, but also with the Japanese detailed Luo Haiping all the tactics used in the naval battle.
Although it is undeniable that Luo Haiping can quickly defeat the British, is the technical advantage of the battleship, but Luo Haiping adopted the tactics and flexible maneuvers, always occupy the dominant fire position in naval warfare.
This is the East Township Ping Bairang admiring, after all, the British Far East Fleet Commander Phili Mantel is also a naval battle famous, so helpless defeat, the various factors are worth studying in detail.
In the past few days, Dongxiang Pingba Lang has also staged several battles in the Java Sea, placing the Japanese joint fleet in the position of the British Far East Fleet, but each time the results have disappointed him extremely, because even if the Japanese joint fleet replaces the British Far Eastern Fleet, the end will not go well.
After each deduction, Dongxiang Pingjiro would be tempted to think that if Russia could be defeated, Japan's greatest enemy in the future would be Fan Yize.
This is also the most helpless fact, Dongxiang Pingbo Lang has 40% sure of eliminating the Russian Pacific Fleet, but there is no half-sure that he can defeat the fleet commanded by Luo Haiping.
Unless, of course, Japan can have a warship with it, he will have the confidence to fight with such a navy.
Fortunately, Dongxiang Pingba Lang believes that Japan will soon have more powerful warships, because the British redeemed all the captives, one of the purposes is to collect data on the relevant enemy ships in the Java Sea and accelerate the development of more advanced warships.
If it is not the British alliance with Japan, and the United Kingdom is also very want Japan to contain Fan Yize, otherwise Dongxiang Pingjiro will not be able to know such news.
In front of this war victory or defeat are difficult to say, has taken into account the next war of Dongxiang Pingbo Lang, in fact, he is also a very confident relationship with this attack at night.
The intelligence of the Russian Navy's movements, through the wireless communication of the flagship Sansei, confirmed that the Russian Navy is still unprepared, and the main force of the fleet is still on the outskirts of the Vladivostok port.
Time slowly arrived at midnight, the fleet arrived at the intended attack location, and Dongxiang Pingba Lang also put away all his thoughts and issued a second order: "Departure the fleet."
Operational tactics have been developed, and the destroyers in the fleet are aware of their own mission and mission.
Immediately, the fleet of six respite from the fleet quickly separated from the combined fleet and, under the cover of night, headed for the brightly lit Vladivostok in the distance.
In the past, the hearts of all the people of the Japanese joint fleet were also suspended in half-empty.
