Chapter 129 is here

From the East China Sea to the Yellow Sea, from the Yellow Sea to the horse, among hundreds of watchtowers, thousands of people searched for any suspicious targets on the sea all night, and on the sea, hundreds of alert fleets composed of "armed merchant ships" and "fishing boats" also searched the sea at night and searched for Russia. The fleet is also traced.

Especially seven days ago, after the Russian fleet sailed out of Sandu Australia, the number of search ships was increased to nearly 200. Every person on the search ship opened his eyes to look at any suspicious ships on the sea, even on the coast. Every person on the coast also looked at the sea with wide eyes in order to find the ships of Lucia's navy.

For the first time in human history, a country was fully mobilized from top to bottom in a war. Perhaps I don't know that they have created a history intentionally or unintentionally. A strong history of war has been written in the military history, a history of an overall war.

From now on, war is not only a matter of the army, but also directly involves the life and spirit of everyone in the countries participating in the war. If any country wants to win the war, all the people must be determined to throw themselves into the battlefield. Everyone must spare no effort and devote themselves to their whole body and mind. The essence of war has changed from a war between a king and a general to an input that requires the overall strength of the nation.

Of course, at this time, I'm afraid that only a few people know the revolutionary significance of this war in the history of war. For those who participate in this "overall" war, the only thing they need to do is to do their respective duties in this war and make their own efforts for the victory of the war.

Rear spinning female workers and raw silk workers produce cotton yarn and raw silk in exchange for foreign exchange for imported machines, arms and warships. The workers in the arsenal produce arms and supply front-line military supplies, and farmers produce rice to supply military supplies. Each of them indirectly or directly serves the war.

"For the last battle!"

Almost all Japanese people understand that at this time... the last battle of the war against Lu is coming, and the fate of the empire will be determined by this upcoming naval battle. When every Japanese citizen is paying their own efforts to win the war, far away in the Gulf of Korea, directly participate in this naval battle, go to the left On the right, the future joint fleet of the empire is in a state of tension, depression, and even panic.

The soldiers are praying for the upcoming naval battle. They are praying for victory. Of course, while praying for victory, they are also praying that they can survive the war. The soldiers' ideas are simple, but the officers' thoughts are mixed. Compared with the sailors, the officers have more considerations.

Can you win?

Calculate the battleship, 4 to 8!

Calculate armored cruisers, 8 pairs.

Well, I finally found a little advantage, calculating the number and tonnage of ships, the joint fleet has all the advantages, and the joint fleet also has a "home advantage". As for Lucia's Second Pacific Fleet, it was an expedition of 18,000 nautical miles of "the eighth wonder of the world", although it was in China's military port. Inside, some warships were maintained and officers and soldiers were rested, but human energy could not be recovered from a short rest. Similarly, the damage of the warship could not be repaired by short-term maintenance.

It's okay, and there are some advantages!

But why don't you worry? Especially when the war was approaching, and even after the order was issued to prepare for battle, everyone's nerves collapsed to the extreme.

On the evening of May 26, in the west of the sunset, when the sea of Zhenhai Bay was reflected into blood by the remnants of the sun, it seemed that in everyone's eyes, the bloody sea seemed to be stained by the blood of the Japanese navy, and the shadow of the undulating sea seemed to be the limbs and broken arms of the sailors.

When the world seemed to be shrouded in an ominous atmosphere, on the flagship of the joint fleet, the "Mikasa" warship, before the war, it was determined that Akiyama Zhenzhi, who had always been so confident, would be so confident, which would also be very uneasy about Roger Stewinsky's movement. In the past seven months, He, who has been planning how to defeat Roedstwinsky, will be completely shrouded in a kind of uneasiness and tension in the future.

A long time of brainpower and intelligence have already made Akiyama Zhenzhi a little delivious. In the officer's restaurant, in the band's accompaniment, when the steak was served on the table, he cut a knife and looked at the bloody beef. Akiyama only felt a burst of nausea in his heart. He seemed to see the joint fleet flying ashes. The moment the smoke was extinguished and the sea was dyed red, he almost panicked and escaped from the restaurant.

When Akiyama Zhenzhi "escaped" to the front of the ship, Nakasa Suzuki, the commander of the fourth expulsion team, also followed.

When he saw the middle of Colonel Kantaro Suzuki, Shinji Akiyama confided his heart.

"I really don't know where the Russians have gone. If they go to the Strait of Tsushima, they should also come."

It should be here! This problem has always lingered in the hearts of Akiyama Zhenzhi and every joint fleet officer and soldier. Waiting is often the most anxious, especially the waiting without any news.

And Lieutenant Colonel Kantaro Suzuki shook his head and said.

"No way, it's not that fast, Mr. Qiu Shan, what do you think their speed is?"

"10 nautical miles."

After a while of meditation, Akiyama Zhenzhi spit out a number. This speed should be about the same.

"Impossible!"

Suzuki Kantaro Zhongzuo categorically denied it.

"Rostewinsky has brought so many classic ships, and there will be mechanical failure on the road, and there will be coal to be added. It's great that Rostewinsky's fleet can have a speed of 7 nautical miles."

After a moment of meditation, Akiyama nodded, and then he realized that his judgment had been disturbed by his inner anxiety and waiting. After slowly calming down, he said.

"Suzuki, your estimate should be correct. The speed of Roger Strinsky's fleet may not even exceed 8 nautical miles at all."

When he nodded in agreement, Akiyama's eyebrows frowned into a ball.

"Yesterday, Xidan Maru reported that six German coal-ships hired by Roger Strünsky's fleet entered Shanghai Port, and the Shanghai branch of Mitsui Products immediately informed the base camp of this situation. According to the amount of coal that the Russian fleet itself may be loaded, it can be judged that Rozhestwinsky should go to the horse. There is no other choice in the strait.

Akiyama Zhenzhi's way is the most important information about the coal ship entering the Shanghai port, and it is this information that makes Akiyama Zhenzhi breathe a sigh of relief, and the waiting makes him bored.

"If that's right, now we should have found Rodstwinski's fleet, but why?"

Suddenly, Akiyama Zhenzhi's whole body was silent. He looked at the bay that had been shrouded in the curtain and said.

"If there is no trace of the Russian fleet by tomorrow morning... then we will be ready to intercept Roger Strzewinsky's fleet from other opponents outside the sea!"

On May 27, late at night, the 6,388-ton armed merchant ship Shinano Maru, which was sailing far away in the sea near the Goto Islands, was sailing at a speed of 8 knots. Shinano Maru was a general old-fashioned mail ship requisitioned by the Japanese navy from the Japan Postal Company, but it was loaded with cannons, so that even if Armed merchant ships.

Late at night, when the "Shinano Maru" sailed to an atoll called "Shirose", with the star and moonlight in the sky, the "Shinano Maru" looked at the hand and found a light in the northwest. The first time it found the light, the looker immediately reported.

"Discover the lights!"

A report immediately caused a panic on the Shinano Maru, and Colonel Narikawa, the captain of the Shinano Maru, immediately ordered to approach the target. When Shinano Maru approached the light position, the Russian fleet medical ship Eagle, which emitted the light, did not realize its behavior. The whole fleet has been exposed. The captain of this medical ship with the same name as the battleship Eagle may not be able to figure out the difference between the battleship and the medical ship in the war. Perhaps he thought that he was protected by the Hague Convention, so he ignored the lights of the fleet and the ban on radio control, and recklessly announced the existence of the great Russian fleet all the way.

As for the Russian fleet sailing in this dangerous sea area, what will happen to the whole fleet after its lights are discovered has nothing to do with the medical ship. Anyway, the medical ship will try its best to save those brave Russian sailors, and the rest has nothing to do with it.

After approaching the "Eagle" medical ship that emits light, as it gets closer and closer to the medical ship, Colonel Chengchuan, who has already felt nervous and a little suffocated, is a rare thief even in the navy. But he unexpectedly gave an order.

"Circling the target and confirm the target's identity!"

With the order of the colonel of Chengchuan, the atmosphere of the whole "Shinano Maru" was extremely tense. It took two hours to circle the "Eagle". When it was confirmed that it was a Russian medical ship, a cold sweat came out of the palms of the hands of Chengchuan, and on the "Shinano Maru", the timid sailors even wanted to I wet my pants.

"This is the medical ship of the Luguo Fleet!"

When they determined the identity of the ship, they were also aware of the danger. Maybe... the whole Roedstwinsky fleet was by their side.

Although he was extremely nervous, Colonel Chengchuan knew that the existence of the medical ship did not prove the existence of the Russian fleet. At this time, the "Eagle" medical ship also found the "Shinano Maru". The extremely confused "Eagle" actually hit the light signal to the "Shinano Maru" at this time, requiring "Shinano Maru" The signal sends a flash signal to prove the identity, and this light signal is still in clear language.

"...The Lu Guo's fleet is here!"
