Tsarist Russia: Please Call Me Your Majesty The Tsar

Chapter 201 The Sunken Battleship (First Update, Please Subscribe!)

"Your Excellency, Captain, our battleship has been caught by the Russians, and they are shooting at us fiercely!" A major officer reported to the captain of the battleship Hatsuse, Nakao Yu.

"Damn it! Order our main guns to aim and fire again!" Nakao Yusuke cursed.

But in the face of such a situation, the Orientals seem to have no other way except to pray to Amaterasu. They can only pray to God Amaterasu to bless them, and bless the Russian shells from hitting their warships. Otherwise, it is very dangerous.

"Hi, Your Excellency!" replied the major officer.

Although, the two twin-mounted 40-caliber 305mm main guns of the "Hatsuse" battleship were also firing back. Even the 71152mm secondary guns on the sides joined the shooting of Jinchen.

But for the battleship "Alexey I" 10,000 meters away, it did not pose any threat at all.

1:32 p.m.

The battleship "Fyodor III" of the Russian 03 Navy scored the first hit in this naval battle.

A 305mm artillery shell fired from the No. 2 main turret on the front deck successfully hit the side of the Asahi Star battleship.

However, the part hit by the shell was above the waterline, although a big hole was blown out. At the same time, a 152mm secondary gun and a 76mm rapid-fire gun were blown up. However, it did not pose a further threat to the battleship Asahi.

However, after the hit, the battleship 'Fyodor III' immediately switched to focused fire. Three triple-mounted 50-caliber 305mm main guns fired violently. For a while, the fierce artillery fire almost enveloped the The battleship 'Asahi' made this battleship dangerous.

At the same time, this also made the battle line of the Eastern Navy's combined fleet almost in a state of being suppressed by the battle line of the Tsarist Russian Navy's home fleet.

The battleships of the Eastern Navy, not to mention hitting the battleships of the Tsarist Russian Navy, are still far away from the point of impact. And themselves, battleships have already been hit.

At this moment, Lieutenant General Dongxiang Heihachiro's face was so gloomy that water could drip out.

The cruel facts told him that they completely underestimated the Tsarist Russian Navy before the war broke out. Otherwise, how could you think that the Tsarist Russian navy is so vulnerable?

But now it seems that they should be vulnerable!

"Your Excellency, Commander, the situation is not good for us now! The Russian battleships are very powerful. Even if they are separated by 10,000 meters, they can still have such a high hit rate. It is simply unheard of! It may not be possible!" The tone of Colonel Hayao Shimamura was involuntarily tinged with panic.

He was really frightened by the performance of the warships of the Tsarist Russian Navy on the battlefield.

"The Russian warships are indeed too powerful, far beyond our expectations. I am afraid that no one has expected that the sun never sets!" Lieutenant General Dongxiang Heihachiro felt helpless.

You know, in this era, the battleship distance between the battleships of the two sides is usually only a few kilometers! In the previous era of sail battleships, the distance between the battleships of the two sides was only a few hundred meters. It is also common to use battleships to shoot at each other at a distance of two hundred meters.

Until the navies of various countries enter the era of dreadnoughts, or even the era of super dreadnoughts, the combat distance will continue to increase.

"However, now we have no other choice. The war between us and the Russians has already begun. Moreover, the navy has become the most critical force in this battle. Therefore, we must defeat the Russians! Even if the strength of the Russians is beyond our expectations, it is the same!" Lieutenant General Togo Heihachiro said through gritted teeth.

"Hi, Your Excellency Commander!" replied Colonel Hayao Shimamura.

"Send a telegram to General Oliver, the strength of the Russians is beyond our expectations, we will do our best to hold the Russians back. They must solve the Russian Pacific Fleet as soon as possible, and then besiege the Russian home fleet with us. This may be It will be our only chance to win." Lieutenant General Togo Heihachiro ordered.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander!" Hayao Shimamura knew very well that the Toyo Navy is now in a huge crisis.

When the battleships of the Tsarist Russian Navy's local fleet and the battleships of the Eastern Navy's combined fleet were engaged, the heavy cruisers and armored cruisers, light cruisers and protected cruisers, and destroyers of both sides were already engaged in fierce battles.

The Pacific Fleet of the Tsarist Russian Navy and the Second Fleet of the Combined Fleet of the Eastern Navy have also gone to war.

The five battleships of the Tsarist Russian Navy's Pacific Fleet are undoubtedly inferior to the five 'Sovereign Class' battleships where the sun never sets. Coupled with the sailors of the Tsarist Russian Navy, their quality is even worse. So much so that the Pacific Fleet was almost suppressed by the people on whom the sun never sets from the very beginning of the battle.

However, it is not so easy to sink these battleships with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons, and it will take a lot of time.

After Major General Oliver received the telegram from Lieutenant General Togo Heihachiro, he was also a little surprised.

"What the hell are the Orientals doing? Are they too weak, or are the Russians really that strong?" Major General Oliver was a little uncertain.

However, Major General Oliver knew very well that the Orientals might be in trouble.

This also means that they can't waste time 457, they must hurry up.

"Order the ships to speed up and increase the attack power. We have no time to waste, and we must kill the Russians as soon as possible." Major General Oliver ordered.

"Yes, Your Excellency General!" The officers all answered one after another.

With the passage of time, the advantages of the battleship formation of the Tsarist Russian Navy's home fleet became more and more obvious.

The six battleships have all formed straddle shots, or scored hits, and entered the state of focused fire.

This puts the six battleships of the combined fleet of the Eastern Navy in an extremely disadvantageous situation.

Warships are constantly being hit by large-caliber naval artillery shells, and the situation can be described as very bad.

At 2:24 in the afternoon, the first result of the Tsarist Russian Navy finally appeared.

The battleship "Alexey I" lived up to expectations and completed the lore of the battleship "Hatsuse".

Under the fierce attack of the battleship 'Alexis I', the battleship 'Hatsuse' fired a full twelve 305mm shells.

The most serious injury came from the breakdown of the waterline armor, with three large holes pierced through. As a result, the seawater poured into the hull crazily, causing the battleship 'Hatsuse' to lose its buoyancy due to too much water, and finally sank into the sea. .
