Such a strange phenomenon naturally caused a lot of discussion. Political Commissar Zhang Weining said: "What kind of Mingtang is the Russians building? Is it difficult to have a new combat formation?"

Shang Jinfeng smiled and said, "The battle formation is not the same as the quality of these four battleships, so I guess they are a little ahead of time. Or is it that the Russians want to use these four battleships to break through the interception of the Japanese fleet. To be honest, although the Russian fleet is not small in size, it is really a battle-effective one, but there are only these four warships."

Zhang Weining said: "Oh! Is there anything special about these four warships?"

Shang Jinfeng obviously did a lot of homework and said: "These four battleships belong to the 'Borodino class'. They are the first world-class formerly-fair battleship built by Russia. The prototype is the Crown Prince battleship purchased by Russia from France. The current Weiyang battleship is 114.6 meters long, with a 23.2 meters wide sideways, 8 meters draft, a standard displacement of 13,500 tons, a maximum speed of 18 knots, and can carry 2,000 tons of coal. When sailing at a speed of 10 knots, the range can reach 8,500 nautical miles. The main gun is two dual-mounted 305 mm and 40-diameter-long distance artillery guns in front and rear. The data on paper alone is stronger than the Weiyang."

Zhang Weining is now mainly engaged in military education and is not on the front line. However, he also knows that the Weiyang battleship is the most powerful in the People's Army's naval rank. When the Russian Pacific ship broke through from Lushun Port, the Crown Prince was the flagship. During the fierce battle, the flagship Mikasa, the Joint Fleet's flagship, was injured. In the end, only this battleship broke through the interception of the Japanese fleet. However, it was finally captured by the People's Army Navy and now became the Weiyang battleship in the People's Army Navy sequence. If these four Borodino-class battleships really had the combat effectiveness of the Weiyang, it should not be underestimated.

As everyone was talking about it, the fleets of Japan and Russia were gradually approaching. However, although both sides were driving towards each other, since the routes of both sides were not completely parallel, they were slightly forked. Therefore, when the flagships of both sides converged on the horizontal line, the distance was still 8,000 kilometers. Of course, in this era, this distance was already the effective range of the main gun.

At this moment, the Mikasa, the flagship of the Joint Fleet, suddenly turned sharply to the left, and in the central command room of the Kunming ship, another voice of discussion immediately sounded, and Shang Jinfeng said: "This is the famous big turn of the enemy."

The "Tsushima Naval Battle" in the old time and space was the most talked about by two things, and they were all related to Japan. One was that before the war, Hirahachiro Togo took out the "z" flag. Before that, only in the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, British general Nelson played the "z" flag. However, after the Battle of Tsushima, the "z" flag was fired before the decisive battle, which showed determination, which became the routine of the Japanese navy; the other was the famous enemy's giant slew.

Since the joint fleet and the Russian fleet are traveling at an angle of about 60 degrees, if the conventional fighting method is followed, the two sides will intersect after a round of firefighting. The Russian fleet can successfully get rid of the joint fleet and pass through the Tsushima Strait. Although the speed of the joint fleet is higher than that of the Russian fleet, it can only carry out pursuit operations. It is not easy to intercept the Russian fleet again. Moreover, the Russian fleet can sacrifice some old and slow warships to ensure that some new warships successfully break through, or break them into pieces and disperse the fleet, which also creates great difficulties for the pursuit of the joint fleet.

However, when the joint fleet was handed over, it suddenly carried out a 180-degree large slew. It can use its own speed advantage to intercept the Russian fleet, seize the "t" horizontal head, and narrow the distance between the two sides, which is also conducive to Japan's advantage of fast fire speed of the main gun.

However, the large-scale slewing ahead of the enemy is also extremely risky. Since the joint fleet has entered the range of the Russian fleet at this time, and when turning, not only the warships behind cannot open fire, but also form a relatively "mobile point". The Russian fleet can concentrate all side artillery and attack the Japanese warships that are turning with all their might. At this pace, they can attack Japanese warships one by one. It can be said that this is a golden time for the Russian fleet to win.

How long is this golden time? The old sayings are different, from 10 minutes to 16 minutes, but no matter what, these 10-16 minutes are the only chance for the Russian fleet to win.

At this time, the distance between the flagships of both sides had been closer to within 8,000 meters. Even with panoramic views, the arrays of both sides could be seen very clearly. However, when the Mikasa turned, the Russian fleet did nothing and did not fire a gun to attack. On the Kunming ship, someone was already anxious and shouted: "Want, why haven't you attacked yet?"

After more than three minutes, Mikasa's turn was almost half completed, and the subsequent Shikishima had already entered the turn corner. The Russian fleet seemed to wake up. The flagship Duke Suvorov opened fire first, and then Alexander III, Borodino, and Eagle also opened fire one after another. Although there was no sound of cannons on the screen, countless splashes were aroused around Mikasa.

However, the Russian fleet carried out artillery bombardment for about 3 minutes in a row, but no one shot hit the Mikasa. Therefore, some people on the Kunming ship complained that the Russians' shooting level was too poor, and they were comparable to Chinese football in the old time and space.

It took about 6 or 7 minutes before and after, the Russian fleet found nothing. At this time, although the Mikasa had not completed its steering, the main gun could fire, so it immediately launched a counterattack. Of course, the Mikasa was still turning, so it could not make effective aiming. The shooting at this time was also symbolic and had little practical significance.

After countless opportunities were destroyed, the Russian fleet finally gained something. A burst of explosive sparks appeared on the left side of the Mikasa, and the Kunming fleet also cheered. Someone took the opportunity to make fun of it, imitating the sharp voice of a sports celebrity, and shouted: "The ball has entered, the ball has entered, and now the Russian team has led the Japanese team 1:0." This caused a burst of laughter from others.

The close-up of the drone was immediately aimed at Mikasa. It can be seen very clearly that the explosion range is not large, and it is estimated that at most one 150mm caliber shell. For battleships like Mikasa, getting such a shell is not much different from scratching.

But with the first shot, there was the second shot. Soon Mikasa got another shot, and this shot was a big result, destroying the Mikasa pseudo-radio antenna. However, Mikasa could also command battles in flag language, so the impact was not great. However, Mikasa was immediately hit by the third shot, the fourth shot, and the fifth shot...

In less than two minutes, Mikasa was hit more than 10 shots, of which one shot below the front bridge caused a large loss, which seemed to have caused a certain blow to the command room. However, Hirahachiro Togo, who was commanding the battle on the ship, were safe and sound.

This is not because the Russian fleet's firing skills have improved, but because the Mikasa has completed the turn, the distance between the two sides has been narrowed to about 6,000 meters, and after multiple rounds of shooting corrections, if the Russians do not get a few more shots at this time, the Russians will be too shameless.

But at this time, Mikasa had completed its turn and stopped in front of the Russian fleet and opened fire at the Duke of Suvorov. The Shikishima behind it could also open fire, targeting the flagship of the Russian fleet's second team, Osliabia. Soon, the third Fuji also opened fire, aiming at the Osliabia. This was because Osliabia had three chimneys, the most conspicuous, and the counterattack of the joint fleet was gradually strengthening.

The Osliyabiya, which was soon taken care of by the United Fleet, was first shot and was hit continuously, and the Duke of Suvorov was also hit near the central turret, and a fire broke out.

At this time, all six warships of the first team of the United Fleet had completed the steering and all entered the battle. From the Mikasa and Shikishima had successfully seized the crosshead of the Russian fleet, and the third team behind took advantage of their speed to enter the steering from the outer circle and attacked the rear warships of the Russian fleet. Although the second team of the United Fleet had not completed the steering at this time, the United Fleet had completely reversed its disadvantages and suppressed the Russian fleet. The prime time of the Russian fleet had completely ended and completely lost the opportunity to win.

Moreover, after the Second Fleet of the Joint Fleet joined the battle, the Russian fleet had no power to fight back. The ships were shot one after another. The mast of the Duke of Suvorov broke and the chimney broke, and a fire broke. The chimney of the Osliabia was punched through holes, the front turret was destroyed, the mound was broken, and the bullet holes in the waterline were soaking in water. The ship was full of fire, and the casualties were in turrets. The hull was tilted 12 degrees to the left; Alexander III, Borodino, and Eagle were also wrapped in fireworks.

Tsushima Strait has also been in a big battle. The shells of both sides either raised huge water columns on the water surface, or hit the hull with thick black smoke, sparkling fire, rumbling cannons, and a bleak scene appeared in the raging waves.

However, in comparison, the Russian fleet was not only more shots, but most of them ignited fires after being shot. This is because the shells used by the joint fleet were filled with the famous "Shise*". This is a pure ** developed by Japanese naval engineer Masayoshi Shise, commonly known as yellow *. This * has a very high sensitivity and will explode when encountering objects. It will cause a fire with a central temperature of up to thousands of degrees, which is said to be able to ignite steel. Moreover, the flames formed by this * explosion will flow in all directions like gasoline ignition, and can continue to burn even in water for a period of time. In addition, when the * component of the Shise* shell explodes, it will also appear toxic yellow smoke, so it is extremely lethal.
