The telegram from the South Ocean Fleet and the transport fleet encountering the Russian Far East Fleet was quickly sent to Xu Jie's desk, at this time the North Ocean Fleet and the Foreign Ocean Fleet were completely dispersed, except for Yang Yonglin, all the warships in the Beiyang system were divided into several squads, Liu Buyun led 2 battleships, Lin Taizeng and Cheng Biguang commanded a King-class armored cruiser and a Garibaldi-class armored cruiser, and Deng Shichang was two PISA-class armored cruisers. And Lin Yongsheng is in charge of all the Guiyuan-class warships, of course, these warships have been arranged separately.

Therefore, in order for these already scattered fleets to form a joint force, Xu Jie and Yang Yonglin had to transmit orders through radio and notification ships, and this led to the lag of information transmission! Therefore, Xu Jie and Yang Yonglin must leave a considerable margin for the entire deployment. Moreover, this battle was also a test for the commanders of the Beiyang detachments, after all, the opponent was in a group, and the combat effectiveness was strong, and more importantly, in the vast sea, it was very difficult to communicate and search for the enemy...... It is a great test of the ability of all of you in Beiyang to play on the spot!

"All the fast elites of the Russians have come out, and it seems that Makanov still has a lot of determination." Yang Yonglin said .........while putting the model battleship marking the Russian fleet on the chart.

"The Russians are not just breaking the relationship, right? Many of the words even have a guerrilla warfare connotation. If you look at the losses of the naval battle alone, the Nanyang Fleet that fought with it lost the Jingtai, and the Zhenhai was also seriously wounded, and there was no way to fight for a long time, although the Russians had 3 battleships damaged. But if they get back to port, they will be a good ship again. Liu Guanxiong said a little discouraged.

"Ding Zhuqian played well. It is not easy to hold off the opponent with such a force. What about our material losses? Xu Jie asked.

"Three ships were killed. The losses in personnel were minimal. However, the loss of equipment was not small, hundreds of tons of ammunition and weapons were sunk on the bottom of the sea, but they were dealt with before sinking, and if they were salvaged in time, some of the losses could be recovered. Someone has already done these things. Yang Yonglin immediately said,

"Very well, since the finishing work has already been done, let's now think about how to deal with the Russians. First of all. Think about it, what will the Russians do next? Xu Jie asked a question.

"Concentrate your forces and open a gap in our encirclement!" Yang Yonglin said with great certainty..........

"Then the speed of the Russians will not be very fast, according to the battle reports, the speed of the two armored cruisers of the Sea of Azov type is already very low! According to the estimation of Ding Zhuangqian and Lord Deng, the maximum speed of these two warships could not exceed 15 knots. If the Russian fleet had acted together, we would have plenty of time to intercept it. But if the other side abandons two armored cruisers of the Sea of Azov. What if the other 4 warships were quickly evacuated? Liu Guanxiong raised his own questions.

"Then leave two armored ships of the Sea of Azov first, if you can eat these two armored cruisers, it is estimated that the Russians will not even be able to fight guerrilla warfare." Yang Yonglin is not greedy. The goal is realistic.

"If I could, I would like this to be the last time the Russian Far East Fleet cruised to sea! We don't have that much time to consume with the Russians, we still have a lot to do. The chaos in Beijing still needs to be cleaned up, and the powerful factions in various places are still waiting and watching, and we need to end the battle at sea as soon as possible. If I could, I would like the Beiyang Fleet to take full part in the siege of Vladivostok, a long war of attrition would not be good for either side. Xu Jie set the strategic tone.

"If you want to completely annihilate the Russian fleet, it is obviously impossible. If Ethan felt that the situation was not good, he could have left the battlefield with two 10,000-ton warships. We can't start putting a lot of pressure on them. Considering the limited lethality of naval guns, we also need time to mobilize mine-strike battleships. It's going to be a big project. Yang Yonglin frowned and said. …………。

"If we don't tighten the encirclement quickly, our encirclement network will be full of holes. Lord Deng has made it very clear in the report that the three armored cruisers may not be able to retain the two battleships under Essen, it is easy to defeat but difficult to sink! If it is not weakened to a certain extent, the lightning strike effect will not be very good, and the opponent has too many rapid-fire guns! Liu Guanxiong also said with an embarrassed face.

"Then we will first set up a blockade in the eastern part of the Yellow Sea, so that the Russians have only two options, the first is to go north into the border area of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea and then turn northeast. If Essen had a brain, he would never have chosen this path, and the further north he went, the greater the probability of being discovered. And what we have is time to rearrange the new blockade. So this path is directly negative. Xu Jie paused and continued.

"Most likely, it's going southeast...... Then bypass our blockade and turn northeast, using its own large range to evade a possible attack. After all, in Essen's opinion, our capital ship also agreed to drift at sea for a long time, coupled with the limited endurance, it is impossible to take care of farther seas. Xu Jie said.

"The endurance of our warships is really limited. If the other side leaves the offshore sea and goes deep into the ocean, it will be really difficult for us to contain them. Even armored cruisers of the Sea of Azov type took into account sufficient endurance, after all, these ships came from Europe. Yang Yonglin said with some sorrow..........

"So we have to reduce unnecessary consumption. Before launching a decisive attack. The fleet must be kept low in attrition, and the capital battleship cannot be used as a reconnaissance ship. Our search for the Russians should be handed over to a large number of notification ships and mine-strike ships, as well as 3 Guiyuan armored cruisers. Keep in touch and force the other side to act first with the fuel reserves. Put pressure on the other side to keep moving south, and only then will the gap between us and our opponents in endurance gradually catch up and eventually overtake! Once the Russians have no endurance advantage, we just need to catch them one by one and kill them. We're going to be like wolves. Constantly use feints to consume the power of the prey. Finally, when the prey is tired, it will deliver a fatal blow! Xu Jie laid out his plan and disfigured.

"If we want to destroy the Russian fleet, our main fleet must be concentrated, and not only capital ships, but also a large number of mine-striking ships must be mobilized. After all, the Russians still have 6 warships, and it is difficult for the Prince or the Russian to sink with naval guns. Yang Yonglin added.

"In that case, let's scare the Russians first." Xu Jie smiled and said.
