Major events in the naval battle against Malaysia

Before the Russo-Japanese War, the bases of the Russian Pacific Fleet in Lushun and Vladivostok were similar to those of the Japanese Navy, but it was not good for the Japanese Navy to cover the landing troops. Faced with this situation, General Tougou Heihachirou, commander of Japan's joint fleet, decided to assault Lushun, the base camp of the Russian fleet, in order to weaken the strength of the Russian fleet and completely block Lushun, so that the main Russian fleet could not prevent the Japanese from landing. 1904 In February, Emperor Meiji of Japan decided to fight against Russia. On February 6, the Japanese joint fleet assembled at Sasebo Naval Base and set sail for Lushun. On the evening of February 8, nine Japanese torpedo boats sneaked into the port area and launched a surprise attack. That night, all senior Russian generals went ashore to attend a ball hosted by Stark, commander of the fleet. Moreover, the Russian army generally underestimates the enemy and believes that Japan will never dare to go to war with Russia. Therefore, the port channel is not even equipped with lightning protection network, and ships are not blacked out. Ships are brightly lit. That night, the situation in Lushun Port was very favorable to the Japanese commandos, but the results achieved by the Japanese army were lackluster. The Japanese launched the 18 torpedo, which seriously damaged the Russian warship Tsessarevich and stranded the cruisers Retvizan and Pallada, but the Russian army quickly repaired these three ships. On February 9, the commander of Japan's fourth team, Guasheng Waizhi, led a fleet to sink a Russian cruiser deployed in Incheon Port, North Korea, and successfully covered 2,500 Japanese soldiers who landed ashore. On the same day, the main fleet of the joint fleet led by Tougou Heihachirou arrived in Lushun and carried out shore bombing, but the effect was not great. Although the strength of the Russian fleet has not been hit hard, it has been camping in Lushun base and letting Japan run wild. On the day of the war, two newly purchased armored cruisers, Jin Ri and Chun Ri, also joined the ranks of the Japanese navy.

Block Lushun port

When Japan planned this war, it was already considered that in order to win, it was necessary to master the sea power of the Yellow Sea and ensure the smooth flow of maritime traffic lines. Therefore, it is necessary to annihilate the main force of the Russian Pacific Fleet based in Lushun. Therefore, the Pacific Fleet, the essence of the Russian navy after the war, was blocked by the Japanese joint fleet in Lushun Port, and both sides suffered mutual damage in a series of blockade and anti-blockade battles. The early Russian fleet was still active and could take the initiative when the Japanese tried to block the port.

1On February 8th, 904, the main force of the Japanese joint fleet arrived in Lushun Port, China, and attacked the Russian Pacific fleet stationed in Lushun Port, causing heavy losses to the Russian fleet. Later, the Japanese joint fleet blocked Lushun Port and blocked the Russian fleet in Lushun Port, making it difficult to move.

Dongxiang, commander of the Japanese joint fleet, blocked Lushunkou on the spot by "sinking the ship and blocking the port". Later, Commander Dongxiang asked the Japanese to lay mines outside Lushunkou. The flagship of the Russian Pacific Fleet was sunk by a mine. The Russian fleet fought tooth for tooth and used mine warfare against the Japanese. The two main warships of the Japanese joint fleet also sank.

On April 13 of the same year, Russia suffered the biggest setback after the war-the battleship Petropavlovsk was sunk by a mine laid by the Japanese side, and makarov vice admiral, the most outstanding general of the Russian navy, sank with the ship. His death is an irreparable loss for Russia. Since then, the morale of the officers and men of the Russian Pacific Fleet has plummeted, and they are unwilling and afraid to fight at sea again. The succeeding fleet commander thought the future was bleak and ordered the fleet to withdraw to the port. Under the cover of the navy, the Japanese army successfully landed in Liaodong Peninsula and began to surround Lushun on land. In order to prevent the fleet from being submerged in the harbor, under the command of the newly appointed fleet commander Major General William Vitgeft, the Russian Pacific Fleet tried to break through on June 23rd, but was intercepted by the Japanese fleet and returned to the harbor. By the end of the month, the artillery fire of the Japanese land siege troops had arrived at the port, and Zofota tried to break through Vladivostok. On August 10, the Russian fleet that broke through was intercepted by the main force of the Japanese joint fleet commanded by Dongxiang in the Yellow Sea, and a naval battle broke out in the Yellow Sea. D Zofota was killed in the battle, and most Russian ships were driven back to Lushun Port. Subsequently, the remaining ships of the Russian Pacific Fleet moored in Vladivostok were intercepted by the Japanese Navy. After this war, the Russian Pacific fleet completely lost its attack spirit, and it had no hope of breaking through the blockade of the Japanese navy. Just like during the Crimean war, the land defense forces increased the sailors on board, and the cannons were unloaded from the warships and installed in the fortresses and fortifications on the shore. The Russian Pacific Fleet has become an empty shell moored in the harbor and can no longer pose any threat to the Japanese mainland and maritime transport lines. There is no doubt that the Japanese have completely mastered the sea power of the Yellow Sea. Russia, which was blindly optimistic at the beginning of the war, finally tasted the Japanese noose tightening its neck.

The situation of Russian troops in the Far East is deadlocked. However, due to the limited transportation volume of Siberian railways, Russian troops have been unable to get reinforcements from Europe and Russia, and the incompetence of generals has not been able to achieve a decisive victory. And winter is coming, and fighting in the northeast is even worse. But as far as the Japanese army is concerned, compared with Russia, although the Japanese army has won one after another, the casualty rate is very high, especially in the offensive war in Lushun. Before the capture of Lushun, the Third Army under the command of General Nogi Maresuke almost went all over the trenches full of dead soldiers' bodies. In addition, the trouble of the Japanese army is that it has not been able to intercept the main force of the Russian ship and give it a head-on blow. If the war drags on for a long time, Japan's economy will be dragged down and collapsed, so the Japanese army is eager to give the Russian army a heavy blow to end the war as soon as possible. 1On June 20th, 904, due to the poor performance of the Russian Pacific Fleet, Tsar Nicholas II decided to send Russian ships to Europe and Russia for reinforcements.

/kloc-in the 9th century, Russia promised in the Treaty of London that the Russian Black Sea Fleet would not enter the Mediterranean Sea through the Da Daniil Strait and the Bosphorus Strait. In other words, the Russian Black Sea Fleet is a completely defensive fleet, and it has no other functions except cruising the Black Sea deep inland, so the only naval force available to Russia is the Baltic Fleet. After the Tsar decided to send the European-Russian fleet for assistance, he renamed the original Pacific Fleet as the First Pacific Fleet, changed the East Aid Fleet into the Second Pacific Fleet, and appointed Lieutenant General Dzinovic Pultrovich Rozhestvensky as the commander of the Second Pacific Fleet. In front of Lieutenant General Rhodes Svensky, it was chaos. The bureaucratic habits of the czar government are serious, and it is annoying to go through many procedures to apply for materials. What is even more worrying is that there are still three warships "Borodino", the capital ship of the Second Pacific Fleet, which have not yet been completed. Seeing that the Russian fleet in the Far East is stuck in Lushun, the military situation is like a spark. However, the Russian imperial bureaucrats still have the same attitude, dragging on day by day. In addition, because most of the Russian navy's intensive officers and men are in the Far East, Rhodes Svensky has to recruit veterans and farmers who have never seen the sea as sailors and retrain them, which has a great impact on the overall combat effectiveness. 1904.9. 10.5 borodino class battleships No.3 and No.4-Kniaz suvorov and orel have been completed and put into service.

The departure of the second Pacific fleet and the Dogel incident

After more than four months of preparation, Lozwinsky finally formed a decent fleet. 190410 June 15, the second Pacific fleet set off from Fort Lee, and the commander of the first fleet was Rhodes Devinsky. The warships under its jurisdiction are the Duke of suvorov (Ke Kniaz suvorov), Alexander III (Emperor Alexander III), Borodino (Borodino) and orel (orel), among which the Duke of suvorov and Eagle officially entered service on September 10, which shows the Russian army's haste. The second team, led by Major General von Falker Zan, included the battleship Oslyabia, the armored cruisers navarin and Admiral. The third team, led by Major General Enkewest, was in charge of eight cruisers, including Oleg and Aurora. There are also a number of armed merchant ships and supply ships and other logistics vessels. * * * The Second Pacific Fleet with 42 ships set out in this way. After the departure, it was widely rumored in the Russian fleet that Japanese warships would sneak attack along the way, which made people panic. On the morning of October 22nd, 65438+ year/kloc-0, the Russian fleet mistook the local British fishing boat for a Japanese torpedo boat in the dark, so they opened fire. Then the first team and the third team sailing side by side switched to shooting at each other, and it took 15 minutes to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy. In the shelling, a fishing boat sank, many fishing boats were injured, and the cruiser Aurora, the third squad, was also injured. After this incident, it caused serious protests in Britain and even invoked the terms of the Japan-Russia alliance to wage war against Russia, which greatly frightened Russia. This matter was later mediated by Germany and France and handed over to the International Court of Justice, but it ended in nothing. Britain had to solve the problem by itself, but it was afraid that Britain and Russia would go to war and other powerful countries such as Germany and France would take advantage of it, so it only monitored the Russian fleet along the way to protect the safety of British fishing boats and merchant ships until North Africa. The unexpected attack on Doug's coast caused cynicism all over the world, thinking that the Russian fleet was simply a group of frightened birds. But it is undeniable that a large part of the Japanese navy's ships are made in Britain, and Britain is Japan's ally. It is not impossible if a Japanese warship that has just left the British dock immediately attacks the Russian army. However, according to Russia's farfetched explanation afterwards, it seems that the Russian fleet is really hard to say that it was a mistake.

The long journey of the Russian fleet

The distance from the Baltic base in Europe and Russia to Lushun almost spans half the world. Because the tonnage of Russia's main warships is between 10000 ~ 15000 tons, it is impossible to take the Suez Canal to shorten the voyage, so we have to go south along the African coast, bypass the Cape of Good Hope and enter the Indian Ocean. Restricted by neutral laws and regulations along the way, and Russia has no overseas bases to provide supplies, everything depends on the support of the fleet's own supply ships. After a long journey, countries all over the world did not believe that the Russian navy could reach Lushun safely from the beginning. At that time, warships still used coal as fuel, which was huge and not as easy to store as gasoline or diesel. In order to solve the large amount of coal needed for long-distance navigation, Russia rented as many as 70 coal carriers from Hamburg-America line in Germany for supply along the way. Germany and France even secretly helped the Russian fleet and allowed Russian ships to dock at overseas colonial ports. Of course, this inevitably caused protests.

1 904165438+1October1day, the Russian fleet arrived in Vigo, Spain.

1904165438+1October 6th, the Russian fleet docked in Tangier, French North Africa. Starting from the port of Tangier, some big ships, such as Sisoi and navarin, led by Major General Foxhill, passed through the Mediterranean Sea and went to the Indian Ocean via the Suez Canal, and agreed to meet Lieutenant General Rhodes Devinsky on the French island of Madagascar on the east coast of Africa, while other Russian ships continued southward.

1904 165438+1October16, the main fleet of Lieutenant General Rhodes Devinsky docked in Dhaka, a French territory.

1904 12 1 day, Lieutenant General Rhodes Devinsky's main fleet docked in Libreville.

1904 12.7, Lieutenant General Rhodes Devinsky's main fleet arrived in Mosamedes, South Africa. At this time, there was bad news from the Far East that travel was not guaranteed.

1904 12 16. The main fleet of Russia's Second Pacific Fleet arrived in Rudritz, and Lodwinsky had learned that the Russian warships in Lushun Port were missing.

190565438+1On October 9th, Rhodes Devinsky and the fleet of Fokker Mountain met in Nosy B, the northern end of French Madagascar. Worse news also came at the same time, Lushun has been captured by the Japanese. At this point, Rhodes Devinsky wanted to set off for the Far East at once, and before the Japanese fleet recovered from the Lushun blockade after the war, it was a decisive battle as soon as possible, so as to be completely annihilated. Major General Fogg's ship was damaged while passing through the Mediterranean, and it took at least a month to continue sailing. The Russian imperial government also ordered Rhodes Devinsky to stay in Nohi North, waiting for the newly established Third Pacific Fleet to reinforce the Far East.

1905,65438+10, 15, the Third Pacific Fleet, under the leadership of Major General NeiBogatov, led the warships Nikolai, Aprasin, Sheniwan, ushakov and cruisers.

1905 March 16, Rhodes Devinsky decided to lead the Second Pacific Fleet to the Far East after Bogatov was filled with supplies. The Indian Ocean has a hot climate, and Germany and France have no colonies in the Indian Ocean to supply, so everything can only be maintained by supply ships in the fleet. The Russian Second Pacific Fleet in the Indian Ocean set a record for ship-to-ship refueling for the first time in the world. It supplied solid coal instead of liquid diesel.

On April 4th, 1905, the Russian Second Pacific Fleet arrived in Cam Ranh Bay, French Vietnam, and was ordered to wait for the Third Pacific Fleet here. Major General NorBogatov's Third Pacific Fleet is some old-fashioned ships. Instead of increasing the overall combat power, it has become a burden for the entire reinforcement fleet. Rhodes Devinsky tried many times to ask the czar's government to go straight to Vladivostok without waiting for the Third Pacific Fleet, but the Russian government disagreed and insisted on the previous order.

1905 On May 9th, Russia's Third Pacific Fleet finally joined Lodzdevonsky's Second Pacific Fleet.

On May 4th, 1905, the 2nd and 3rd Pacific Fleet left Cam Ranh Bay and headed for Vladivostok.

1905 On May 23rd, Rhodes Devinsky ordered the fleets to carry out the last coal supply operation, and then ordered all non-combat vessels except four supply ships and two medical ships to leave the front line. On the same day, Major General Fokker Mountain died of illness, and Rhodes Devinsky blocked the news so as not to affect the morale of the army. Even the second commander, Major General NorBogatov, didn't know.

Wyndell dichinson v. Ma

Tougou Heihachirou's Japanese joint fleet, after six months of training and consolidation, has already been gearing up, waiting for an opportunity to beat the Russian army from the east.

On May 25th, 1905, a supply ship flying the Russian flag sailed into Shanghai.

The Japanese navy decided that the Russian fleet must be in the nearby waters, so it stepped up preparations. The Russian fleet started from the east. As Lushun Port has fallen into the hands of the Japanese, it can only sail to Vladivostok. There are two routes to Vladivostok: either through Ma Haixia to the Sea of Japan, or through Zonggu or Sanjin Strait, and from near Hokkaido to the Sea of Japan. Tougou Heihachirou judged that Lozev would definitely take the route to Ma Haixia, so he concentrated the joint fleet in Tsushima Island and Jen Bay of North Korea, waiting for the war to come. Dongxiang also sent four armed merchant ships and two old cruisers to scout in the East China Sea.

1905 At 02:45 on May 27th, the Japanese armed merchant ship Nobukuro found a medical ship in the Russian fleet. Although Rhodes Devinsky ordered a power outage, the medical ship was discovered by Japanese ships because of its bright lights.

104:45 on may 27th, 905, after careful judgment, Nong Xin maru sent a telegram that the Russian fleet was sailing northeast at position 203. The 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th teams of Japan's joint fleet, led by Lieutenant General Chu Yuchongyuan, Lieutenant General Guasheng Waizhi, Lieutenant General Kataoka Shiro and Major General Dongxiang Zheng, respectively, concentrated in the direction of the Russian fleet. Tougou Heihachirou ordered the whole army to board the Japanese warship No.3 anchored in Zhenwan.

At 07:00 on May 27th, 1905, the cruiser He Quan of Japan's Sixth Team contacted the Russian ship and reported that it was sailing northeast 48km northwest of Ukushima. There was a thick fog on the sea that day, and all Japanese warships painted gray-blue were hard to identify. On the contrary, the bright yellow painted chimneys on the black ships of Russian ships have become obvious targets. Japanese cruisers have been monitoring the movements of Russian ships in the distance and have never relaxed.

1On May 27th, 905, 1 1:00, the Russian warship Oreglia opened fire on the Japanese cruiser that followed, and then ceased fire and continued to sail under the orders of Rhodes Devinsky. May 27th is the coronation anniversary of Russian Emperor Nicholas II. The Russian army celebrated and enjoyed a sumptuous lunch.

1905 On May 27th, 12:00, the main force of Japan's joint fleet arrived in the waters of Chongdao.

13:40, Rhodes Devinsky judged that the Japanese capital ship should come from the northwest, so he ordered his 1 and 2 teams to turn to the port side at 8 o'clock (90 degrees) in turn. In this way, his new warship can just cross the pioneer flagship of the Japanese fleet and concentrate on slamming the flagship of the Japanese ship. However, this command has not been fully implemented. Only the four warships of the first team completed the steering, while the second team did not make any movement, so the Russian fleet was divided into two parallel teams. The first team is about 6 kilometers ahead of the second team.

Bold Tougou Heihachirou

On May 27th, 1905, 13:45, both sides could see the enemy ships visually, but the Japanese ship unexpectedly appeared in the northeast of the Russian ship, so Lodzdevinsky ordered the Russian ship formation to March in a single file. The Russian fleet was in chaos because of the bad formation change, and the flagship of the second team, the "Osriabia", was even forced to stop moving to avoid colliding with other ships.

1May 27, 905, 13:55, Tougou Heihachirou raised the Z-flag on the Japanese flagship battleship "Li San" and issued the order that "Emperor Guoxing abandoned this battle and all members worked together". At this time, outside the range of Russian artillery fire, Dongxiang first led the fleet to cross the front of the Russian ship and then turned to the south. At this time, the Russian army closely monitored the movements of Japanese ships.

1May 27, 905, at 14:00, Dongxiang ordered the ships to turn to the port side at 16 (180 degrees). This surprised both Japanese officers and the Russian fleet, because in this way, the diverted ship would hinder the shooting of warships that were not diverted, and that turning point made Japanese ships the target of Russian ships.

On May 27th, 1905, 14:08, Russian ships fired first, but Japanese ships still turned in turn and were attacked by Russian ships. The armored cruiser "Asami" was shot three times in the stern, and the steering gear could not turn, so it was forced to quit the battle, and other Japanese ships were also damaged to varying degrees.

On May 27th, 1905, 14: 10, most of the Japanese fleet turned around and began to fight back with heavy artillery fire.

The first four Japanese ships concentrated on attacking the Duke of suvorov, the flagship of the Russian first team, and the last six attacked the flagship of the Russian second team, the Osriabia. At this time, because the flagship of the Russian fleet was attacked, other teams were in chaos, and the Oslibby lost power and the whole ship was shrouded in flames. The rudder of Duke suvorov failed, and she tilted 8 degrees to the port. Lieutenant General Roddevonsky himself was injured, with injuries to his head, back and feet. They moved him to the control tower while Lodzdevinsky was in a coma. The Japanese army used the improved summer powder, which greatly increased its lethality. Coupled with the accurate hit rate, Russian ships suffered heavy losses.

1May 27, 905, 15: 10, USS Osriyabia sank in front of Russian officers and men. After that, the Japanese fleet once lost sight of Russian ships, but sometimes it regained the main force of Russian ships. As for the Japanese 3 rd, 4 th, 5 th and 6 th squads who served as scouts earlier, they concentrated on attacking Russian cruisers, destroyers and supply ships.

1On May 27th, 905, 16:45, Kantas Suzuki's destroyer fleet attacked the injured battleship Duke suvorov, making its inclination increase to 10 degree. After that, Dongxiang's fleet lost sight of Russian ships.

1905 on may 27th 17:30, the Japanese found that the Russian ship was speeding up its flight to the northeast, so they pursued it northward. At this time, Rhodes Devinsky has been transferred to the destroyer Buiny and then to the destroyer Biedovy.

The failure and surrender of the Russian fleet

1On May 27th, 905, 18:00, the Japanese captured the Russian ship again and launched an attack on the battleship Alexander III.

1May 27, 905, 18:30, the battleship Alexander III was shot in many places and eventually sank.

1On May 27th, 905, 19:00, the Japanese battleship Fuji collided with the Russian battleship Borodino. With a loud noise, the Borodino boiler exploded and sank instantly.

On May 27th, 1905, 19:20, the Russian flagship "Duke suvorov" slowed down due to multiple injuries, and only one 75mm tail gun was still fighting back. Finally, it sank under the siege and attack of the Japanese torpedo speedboat.

1905, May 27th 19:30, Dongxiang entrusted the injured and remaining Russian warships to pursue and sink with torpedo boats, and all the remaining Japanese warships were evacuated from the war zone, ordering all the warships to assemble in Yuling Island the next day.

At this time, the Russian army led by Major General Norbert Gatov continued to flee to Vladivostok with the Russian ships Nikolai I, ohrel, Aprasin, Xinyan, Daxi Soy, navarin and Nakimov, but the Japanese torpedo boat did not relax. The weather was not very good that day, but the Japanese torpedo boat struggled to approach the Russian ship in the rough waves. The navarin was hit by a torpedo and sank. Admiral Nakimov and the great Sisoi were also hit by torpedoes. They were seriously injured but refused to surrender and ran aground and sank in Tsushima Island. At this point, Russia's second and third Pacific fleets had already been completely annihilated, and Major General Ahnquist had already left the battlefield before nightfall, led the cruisers Orzi, Aphrodite and Jemschug south, and finally sailed to Manila to disarm.

1905 On May 28th, 10:30, the Japanese joint fleet surrounded the remaining Russian ships about 35km south of Qingzhu Island. Major General Norbert Gatov decided to surrender, and the Russian cruiser "Emerald" escaped at high speed and finally crashed in the waters of Abalia.

1On May 28th, 905, 15:30, the Japanese destroyer Lian intercepted the Russian destroyer Bildoffer about 75km southwest of Ulleungdo and captured Lieutenant General Rhodes Devinsky, commander of the Russian fleet.

1905 on may 28th 18:00, the ushakov was discovered by the second Japanese team searching the battlefield, and the Japanese ship ordered the Russian ship to fly its flag at half mast to surrender. Ushakov immediately raised the battle flag and answered the Japanese ship's orders with gunfire. It was immediately attacked by Japanese ships and sank after being seriously injured. As for other Russian ships, they were either sunk or fled to a neutral port and disarmed. In the end, only the cruiser Almaz and two destroyers arrived in Vladivostok.

1905 On May 29th, at 7: 00 a.m., Dmitry Donskoi, the last sunken warship in the sea battle, was sunk in deep water by the surviving crew near Ulleungdo. The battle of Ma Haixia is over.

After the war, the morale of the Russian army completely collapsed, and soon peace talks were held with Japan, and Japan got its wish. For Japan, the most important significance of this war is that the Japanese navy has become the third strongest naval country in the world after Britain and the United States, and General Tougou Heihachirou has become a national hero in the eyes of Japanese soldiers and civilians, and even described Dongxiang's achievements in the Russo-Japanese War with the name of "God of War" and "patron saint". This series of self-confidence also laid the foundation for the future development of Japanese navy shipbuilding and even its ambition to expand into the Pacific Ocean.
