Tsushima, April 26, 1905.
The sullen Straits of Tsusima, became
more blurred in the morning at the end of April 1905. The sun that is
south of the equator begins to move north. But its rays have not sufficiently illuminated the northern sea completely. The sea between Japan and Russia is still foggy. The distant ships were still unclear by eye. Expanses
the blurred shadow was still vast. The closest point to the shadow of the ship that appears on the bridge is still the same. All this made Admiral Togo very happy.
The chances of Kaigun, the Japanese Navy in the war against Russia are greater.
Japan is ready for the day. Japanese-chosen soldiers controlled the foggy terrain. The Japanese had learned that soldiers who found it difficult to distinguish colors had keen eyesight in the dark. View range
soldiers who are weak against the sharper colors include foggy areas such as in the Tsushima Strait. To that end, the Japanese deliberately placed an army of choice in the Tsushima Strait, an army that
more adept at fighting in dark terrain and in foggy places. Soldiers with eyesight unobstructed by the color of light. Focus more on the dark and foggy places.
Nature has taught the Japanese that animals whose eyes are rich in color retina have four kinds of color cells like poultry people who are sharper in vision during the day,
but myopic at night. Like a farsighted chicken when the day begins to twilight, but when a speck of sunlight appears in the east, the chicken first
chickens are the first animals to crow and wake up. Not so with Cats, Tigers, and Lions, his vision of color is weaker so it is inactive during the day. But at night his vision
sharper and farther away. It is very useful for these predators to hunt at night.
Like Togo Heihachiro, smilingly received a telegraph from Shinano Maru Ship ,”The enemy is in the box 203”. The Russian warship she has been waiting for three months has arrived. War in response to Japanese attack
against the Russians at Poth Arthur will finally take place as well. That war would be the biggest epic and clash in the history of sea warfare. Because Russia sent 38 warships,
consisting of 8 battleships, 3 coastal warships, 6 cruisers, 9 destroyers and 12 other warships, the largest troop delivery to the east in the history of the Russian Baltic Fleet. The long journey of the Russian Baltic Fleet through a 33-thousand-kilometer journey from the Baltic Sea through the Bering Strait to Japan will be decisive
the fate of two Russian and Japanese empires.
“Open !!!”
“Prepared in 5 minutes !!!” Togo
prepare his troops and be ready to welcome their enemies on the high seas.
intentional. Not far from the Russian fleet, the Japanese cruiser Shinano Maru detected light from the Russian medical ship Oryol. Surprisingly, instead of telling the danger of waiting in front of the Russian fleet, the crew told him
cheats the Japanese that there are still other Russian ships in the back. A few minutes later, the ships appeared.
As a result, the disguise was revealed. Shinano Maru sends a telegraph message to Admiral Togo. Under his leadership, Togo welcomed the entire Russian fleet at around 01:40 Japanese time along with 89 of its warships, 4 of which were battleships. Togo
it divided its fleet into two columns and ordered the ships behind it to form a U-turn. Formations were still common at the time, because during the war the most common formations were T and L. The Japanese fleet
turning into formations on both left and right, the Russian warships continued to sporadically fire cannons on the Japanese ships. But the momentum did not last long because the Japanese ships were superior in speed, ships
The Japanese cruised with 30 Knots while the Russian ships only 9 Knots. After 10 minutes the Japanese ships had managed to set up a U formation besieging the Russian ships.
Cannon fire from both sides pitted against each other. The Japanese-run gunfire and combat tactics were very difficult for Russia to answer. Shots from a distance of about 6,200 meters hit
knyaz Suvorov's ship, and he sustained considerable damage. Two battleships Borodino and Alexander III were sunk. Until the evening, the main force of the Russian fleet
almost all suffered damage.
In the middle of the night, Togo launched a massive attack in the form of 37 torpedo boats and 21 destroyers. This serial attack left the Navarin ship submerged and crippled the ship
Sisoy Veliki in three hours. Finally a cannon destroyed
chief Russian Admiral Rozhestvensky. This made Russia lose its way. When the sun began to show itself the Russians surrendered.
Despite having declared surrender, Togo decided to continue hunting and sinking the entire ship
remaining. Of the entire fleet, only three managed to escape and reach Vladivostok. The ship's leader, along with his commanding officer, was captured as a prisoner of war.
This defeat was the beginning of the deterioration of Russian popular support for Tsar Nicholas II. The impact of the defeat of Russia, made them have to surrender Manchuria, North China to Japan. Before losing to Japan, northern Manchuria came under Russian interests. Moreover, this Japanese victory was a blow to the supremacy of the western nations. The Japanese Empire was the only major power in Asia. The victory of Japan also brought the effect of domina, Japan began to colonize the Countries in Asia.
