"The Dandong and other battleships have destroyed two German warships. However, they also lost all the battleships. At the last moment, the Dandong raised the white flag in order to save more crew members." A staff officer said with a telegram.

"He did the right thing. Their mission has been completed. We can't ask them to do anything more. The record says that this order was given by me." Makanov said. At this time, 5 soldiers commanded by Yang Yonglin

A dreadnought ship had been fighting with Makanov's fleet for nearly half an hour. At the beginning,

The Russian fleet, which was unfavorable in terms of strength and formation, could still use smoke canisters to delay time. But when the smoke canisters were finally used up, the four Russian battleships were finally exposed to the cannons of the Chinese Navy. Yang Yonglin's fleet could finally use them again.

Show off your power once! 5 against 4, 47 main guns against 32 main guns!

In order to provide the remaining four Russian battleships with an opportunity to destroy the two German battleships, the Makanov fleet paid a huge price. At this time, this price put the Russian fleet in danger as soon as the battle began. The four Russian battleships were in

The Chinese Navy torpedo boats maneuvered with difficulty under the interference.

At that time, Yang Yonglin's fleet was at the rear of the Russian fleet, and the five battleships were all aimed at the Eagle at the back! The Russian battleships were already slow, and from time to time one or two torpedo boats would come up to launch disruptive lightning strikes.

The fleet simply cannot pull out the battle line again before the smoke screen dissipates!

The hail of bullets like a tidal wave rushed towards the Eagle the moment the smoke screen dissipated, and the Russian battleship was helpless in the face of the close salvo fire from the opponent's five battleships. The two main guns at the back were fired within three minutes.

was concentrated multiple times. The entire aft deck was as

Like a constantly erupting volcano, clouds of smoke and flames rose up! More than 300 kilograms of artillery shells fell like raindrops around the Eagle, and each water column almost covered the entire hull. Under the layers of water curtain

You can see the Eagle that has turned into a sea of ​​flames.

"We didn't need to shoot at all at that time. The rangefinder only used the opponent's mast as the target to measure the distance. We couldn't tell which of these water columns were shot by our warships and which ones were shot by friendly forces. Everyone only knows the final result.

The battle has come, and everyone wants to turn it into their own record." A Chinese naval officer said afterwards.

In just a few minutes, more than ten hits were detected by light energy! The stern of the Eagle was completely destroyed, and the rear deck, steering gear and drive shaft were all smashed to pieces! The battleship quickly broke away

The queue is like a dead fish floating on the sea waiting to die. 5 of the Chinese Navy

The two battleships paid no attention to the battleship that was destined to be silent. They began to turn their guns to look for the next target, and this target was the Alexander III, which was ranked third! At this time, the Russian fleet still did not launch a battle line!

Several Russian battleships couldn't even use their full firepower!

"We have tried our best! Give up." Looking at the Chinese fleet looming in the smoke in the distance, Makanov, who had been silent, said this most taboo word in the Russian navy. Simply relying on this sentence is enough.

Obliterating his past achievements and glory. But at this time, as an excellent naval officer, he knew that this was the best result. If the fight continued, the Russian fleet, which was at a disadvantage in strength and formation, would not only have men and ships

They will all be wiped out!

"General, did I hear you correctly?" the captain of the battleship Borodino asked in surprise.

"You heard it right. My son. This war is over. Your remaining task is to return to the Baltic Sea. Of course, if the situation permits, you can also go back on this battleship. The future of the Baltic Fleet will be long

We will rely on you to support us here. What we lack is not only money, but also time and talent. You and the warships in your hands are the backbone of the Russian Navy in the future." Makanov said kindly.

"Invent a coded telegram and tell General Yang Yonglin of the Chinese Navy that the Russian fleet agrees to surrender." Makanov said after taking a deep breath. He made a lot of determination before deciding to trade his reputation for the lives of his subordinates.

If the fight continues, there will be three battleships left.

It is estimated that there are not even 1,000 Russian officers and soldiers left on board. When he set out, he brought more than 30,000 Russian officers and soldiers, and now. Except for a small number of people who are still in Batavia, the others have either become prisoners of war.

Or sleep forever in the depths of the sea.

"Commander, Makanov actually chose to surrender." An officer said, pointing to the three Russian fleets that gave up resistance and raised the white flag.

"The Russians still want to save their last few warships and the officers and soldiers on them." Yang Yonglin said meaningfully. "They are going to send people to pick up the ships and then escort them to Kaohsiung."

The three Russian warships began to slow down and raised their guns high. Several Chinese Navy traffic boats sent personnel to the warships, and then began to take over the three remaining Dreadnought battleships of the Russian Navy. The Russians were very cooperative.

. They stayed quietly in their cabins, either resting or dressing their wounds, and occasionally eating two bites of dry and hardened black bread. They had long been tired of this war. In their opinion,

Fighting a powerful enemy tens of thousands of kilometers away from the country is an incredible thing. Since the end of the last Sino-Russian War, the Russians no longer have an outlet to the sea in the Far East, and in this case they still have to

Most of the naval forces must be concentrated in the Far East. They must also fight against superior enemies. Repeated defeats have made these Russian officers and soldiers completely desperate. In their hearts, they hope that this war will end as soon as possible!

After watching the Chinese navy officers and soldiers boarding his battleship, Makarnov collapsed to the ground. His persistence and hard work for so many years and his belief completely collapsed at this moment. Ten years ago, he always believed that he

Andrei's flag can be planted anywhere in the world. But fate played a trick on people. Just ten years later, Makanov

Witnessing the demise of the Russian ocean fleet. This has to be said to be a great irony for this naval veteran! "But fortunately, I left the last blood for the Russian Navy. Isn't it?" Makanov himself

Said. After letting all the deployments leave the command tower, Makanov once again looked at the rebels who had fought.

There is also a huge chart of the South China Sea on the table. On the wall are also the battleship identification charts of the Russian-Dutch fleet and the Chinese Navy. Of course, in his hand, there is also a telegram to be sent to the Czar. In this telegram

, he will bear all responsibilities. Not only the order to surrender, but also the responsibility for the defeat in a series of battles. He has worked hard for the Russian Navy all his life, but in the end he has to take the blame. Although it is his own choice, there is much in his heart.

Unwilling.

"Forget it, let future generations comment on everything." Makanov shook his head and continued to complete the last document in his life. Time passed by, and when the sun was gradually setting, this letter

The letter was finally finished. "Where are we going now?" Makanov knew there would be guards outside the door.

"General, the Chinese fleet will take us to Kaohsiung Port." The familiar voice outside the door made Makanov happy. Yang Yonglin still took good care of him and did not treat him as a prisoner of war. "Tell General Yang to thank him.

If you can pass on a message to me, please say that Premier Xu Jie is the greatest naval strategist of this era. It took him 15 years to accomplish a goal that Russia has not accomplished in 100 years."

Just after he finished saying this, Makarnov took out some white powder from his arms and put it into a glass of wine. "My time is over, I hope Essen can restore Andrei's flag."

Glory." After saying this, Makarnov drank the glass of wine and fell asleep quietly.

"He walked very calmly, just like an old sailor who had worked hard all his life. He completed his mission. Although he was defeated, he was still a hero of Russia and a great naval commander." A man in charge of arranging horse racing

The Russian official of Kanov's funeral said this.

With the fall of Andrei's flag and the passing of Makanov, the naval battle part of the Second Sino-Russian War has completely come to an end. If the two Java naval battles were fought fairly smoothly, then in the South China Sea

The third encounter that occurs is completely usable.

To describe it as one-sided. The Chinese fleet, under the leadership of Lieutenant General Yang Yonglin, took the lead in launching an attack when the number of battleships was insufficient. It relied on sophisticated tactics to gain an advantage in an extremely short period of time, and completely annihilated the Russian fleet after the supporting battleships were in place.

.

In this battle, the Russian-Dutch fleet was completely wiped out. Except for one Varyag that fled to Cam Ranh Bay, all the remaining battleships were destroyed or captured. The Russian-Dutch fleet successively invested 10 battleships, 4 fast battleships, 4

armored cruiser

The foreign ships and a large number of auxiliary warships were wiped out after several months of fighting. Also gone with them were Russia's ambitions in the Far East and the Dutch East Indies colonies! A Far Eastern structure dominated by China has basically taken shape.

"I'm afraid the rest of the navy's job is to serve as a transportation force, sending the Marine Corps and Army to various islands in the Dutch East Indies. Then plant our flag." Deng Shichang said with a smile.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple. Our old friend is on his way to the Far East. I'm afraid Britain and France will not let us expand our territory in the Dutch East Indies." Yang Yonglin replied.

"How is this person Jericho?" Deng Shichang suddenly asked.

"A steady person, suitable for defense. It should be said that the British are lucky to have him in charge of the Grand Fleet. He is much better than that Betty." Yang Yonglin said with a smile. Jericho is basically the first British naval personnel to interact with China.

One. He was his subordinate for a while. Yes.

Yang Yonglin still admires this person. But now, the former friends may become opponents. And the contradiction between the Chinese Republic and the United Kingdom in the Far East will gradually become more prominent. If it were not for the three countries of Germany, Austria and Italy, I am afraid that Britain and France would

It’s not about threats, it’s about taking practical action!
