The battle of the Yellow Sea didn't just take place in the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. The Japanese-Russian naval battle also took place in the Yellow Sea of China. 1904 The naval battle in the Yellow Sea is a part of the Russo-Japanese War and the first direct maritime conflict between the two countries. 1904 On February 8, the torpedo boat of the Japanese joint fleet attacked the Russian Pacific fleet at the anchorage outside Lushunkou, and the Russo-Japanese War broke out. The commander of the Japanese army is a navy general of Tougou Heihachirou, with 4 battleships, 2 armored cruisers, 8 cruisers, 18 destroyers and 30 torpedo boats. Russian commander: Major General Vi Zofota, strength: 6 battleships, 4 cruisers and 14 destroyers. Both sides formulated corresponding mine blockade tactics outside Lushun Port, and many warships of both sides were hit and sunk by mines. On April 18, Petropavlovsk, the flagship of the Russian Pacific Fleet, was sunk by lightning, and the commander of the fleet, makarov, was killed. Since then, the Russian army has lost confidence in competing for the sea power in the Yellow Sea. In June, the Japanese army surrounded Lushun by land and stepped up the siege of Lushun. The Russian Pacific fleet stayed in Lushun, facing the danger of total annihilation, so it was determined to break through the blockade of the Japanese fleet outside Lushunkou and withdraw to Vladivostok. On August 7, the Russian fleet received an order to break through quickly and sail for Vladivostok, and began to break through. At 8: 45 on August 1904, the Russian fleet left the port and broke through Vladivostok. Previously, the Japanese fleet had achieved the breakthrough attempt of the Russian fleet and the United States, cruising in the Yellow Sea near the Shandong Peninsula ahead of schedule and implementing a blockade. 2o clock, the Russian fleet is almost due east, with a speed of 13 knots; The Japanese fleet is heading south-southwest at the speed of 16 knots, and the distance between the two sides is about 10 nautical mile. The Japanese fleet tried to overtake the Russian fleet from the front. At 12 and 10, the Russian fleet adopted the strategy of avoiding engagement and tried to make a breakthrough through maneuver. The Russian fleet turned left and sailed north relative to the Japanese fleet. At 2: 30, the Japanese fleet turned left and took a course almost parallel to the Russian fleet. 12: 40, in order to keep in touch with the Russian fleet, the Japanese fleet turned right and resumed the opposite course to the Russian fleet. The distance between the two sides is close to 4.5 nautical miles. At 3 o'clock, the two sides began to exchange fire. Later, the Russian fleet turned to break through the blockade of Japanese ships and escaped from the Japanese fleet to the southeast. At 6: 30, the Japanese fleet used its speed advantage to catch up with the Russian fleet and carried out artillery battles in parallel with the Russian fleet. The Russian fleet concentrated on attacking the flagship trident of the Japanese fleet, causing serious damage. At 7: 40, a Japanese warship crashed into the bridge of the Russian flagship "Prince" and killed the commander Major General VI Zofuta. The Prince deflected to the right because the steering gear was destroyed, and the Russian fleet lost command and could not maintain the battle formation. As night fell, the Japanese fleet destroyers and torpedo boats prepared for the night attack. The Russian fleet could not act in unison and began to disintegrate. Most Russian ships fled back to Lushun. The Russian fleet failed to break through, with 343 people killed, including the commander of the fleet, and 226 Japanese casualties. Except for the flagship Prince, two cruisers and four destroyers that fled to neutral countries, most Russian warships that returned to Lushun never tried to break through. The artillery of this warship was dismantled and installed in the Russian army. These sailors were incorporated into the army garrison. With the fall of Lushun, the Russian Pacific fleet stationed in Lushun was completely annihilated.
