Tokyo Bay is an important estuary in the Pacific Ocean from the island of Honshu in Japan, along the northwest coast of Tokyo Bay important cities include Tokyo, Yokohama, Kawasaki, Yokosuka City in the west, Chiba City in the east, Miura (West) and Bosso (East) two peninsulas in the south, leaving only a small opening, from the Uraga waterway into the Pacific Ocean. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 InfoThe Japanese army and the Japanese cabinet are very concerned about the safety of Tokyo Bay, especially after the umbrella marches into Kyushu Island.

Hideki Tojo, who was in charge of the defense of the Japanese mainland, deployed a large number of troops on the front line of Tokyo Bay, and for the safety of Tokyo Bay, Hideki Tojo deployed more than 100 large-caliber coastal defense guns at the small entrance to the sea. He believes that as long as the mouth of the Gulf of Tonkin is contained, no matter how powerful the Umbrella Navy is, it will not be possible to brave the rain of coastal defense artillery shells to sail through this sea area of more than 50 kilometers.

However, it is a pity that because the Japanese mainland has never suffered a precedent of attack, coupled with the blind confidence of Hideki Tojo, these large-caliber coastal defense guns, without exception, are all placed in the open air, and no strong batteries have been built to protect themselves. Now that the Shina forces occupying Kyushu Island have begun to attack Honshu Island and have taken control of Yamaguchi Prefecture, the attention of the Japanese army on the mainland has been focused on Yamaguchi and Hiroshima prefectures on the west side of Honshu Island, but no one would have thought that the enemy would use their fleet to attack Tokyo Bay.

On the sea where the fog had cleared, the sudden appearance of a temporary fleet caused the Japanese troops on the shore to cry out in silence, and as soon as a destroyer at the head of the fleet entered the range of the Japanese shore defense guns, the Japanese shore defense guns, which could no longer bear it, began to shell the battleship. In the roaring sound of artillery, more than a dozen shells fired by the Japanese troops on the shore all missed, stirring up columns of water tens of meters high on the sea surface.

Seeing the Japanese shore defense artillery position that took the initiative to expose the target, the fleet commander McHausen instantly showed an excited smile on his face, and then ordered directly. "Order, the destroyer Skylark immediately returned, and the four light cruisers, Parrot, Turtledove, Magpie, and Swallow, immediately broke away from the formation and used their main guns to destroy the exposed Japanese shore defense artillery positions. The fleet's carrier-based reconnaissance planes immediately took off to observe the targets and the effects of the shelling, and to rest the shelling at any time. ”

With the sound of the flagship's long whistle, the formation of the entire temporary fleet was like a huge machine, directly changing on the surface of the sea. The destroyer Skylark, which had already entered the combat zone, relied on its superior speed to draw a huge arc of waves directly on the sea surface, and quickly broke away from the range of the Japanese coastal defense guns. At the same time, the four cruisers in the fleet, which had already been preparing for the attack, directly pulled away and pressed towards the Japanese shore artillery positions with all their might.

"At five o'clock, at a distance of 8,300 meters, high-explosive shells, one test shot, firing guns..." With a deafening roar, the large hull of the cruiser Cockautil could not help but tremble under the influence of the huge recoil after the main guns were fired. Immediately afterwards, large-caliber naval artillery shells flew out of the barrels and smashed into the Japanese shore artillery positions with a huge whistling sound, "bombing" a column of smoke rising from the Japanese shore artillery positions. After adjusting the artillery bombardment, the four battleships that had broken away from the fleet formation concentrated their fire on the Japanese shore artillery positions and carried out a covering artillery bombardment, and a series of earth-shaking explosions sounded on the Japanese shore artillery positions, and clusters of gunpowder smoke like mushroom clouds immediately rose into the air.

Observing from the carrier-based reconnaissance plane that had taken off urgently, the pilot could clearly see the situation on the ground, and wherever the naval artillery shells were hit, all the land within a radius of several tens of meters centered on the point of impact was burned to charcoal. As for the Japanese large-caliber coastal defense guns that were exposed on the surface of the position and directly hit by the naval guns, at this moment, they have already been turned into a pile of parts. The Japanese artillery that was within the range of the naval artillery shell was either directly blown to the point of no bones, or under the influence of the shock wave generated by the explosion of the naval artillery shell, it was directly shocked to seven holes and bled into a corpse without any sound.

The Japanese coastal defense artillery in Tokyo Bay, who had never suffered a blow, looked at the bloody scene in front of them, and the hearing that was still buzzing because the explosion had not yet fully recovered, and all of them involuntarily stopped what they were doing and looked at the scene in front of them with a blank expression. "Baga, what are you still doing in a daze, counterattack, immediately counterattack, sink the battleship of the Zhina, otherwise we will all be blown up, and fire immediately... Otherwise, it's going to die..."

Amid the roars and angry scolding of the Japanese officers, the sluggish Japanese artillerymen reacted from their shock. However, although the work in their hands did not stop after being frightened just now, from their slightly panicked expressions and mechanical and numb movements, it was clear how much fear the salvo of the four cruisers' guns had brought to them just now.

Without the protection of the battery, coupled with the insufficient range of the shore artillery, more than 1,000 Japanese artillery on the Japanese shore defense artillery positions were destined to become victims. With the roar of the Japanese shore guns firing, the warships of the entire temporary fleet joined in the naval gun attack, and the more than 100 large-caliber coastal defense guns deployed by Hideki Tojo in Tokyo Bay soon turned into piles of scrap metal. The sound of artillery gradually turned from dense to thin, and the mouth of the Gulf of Tonkin, which was blocking the front of the temporary fleet, was also completely open to the fleet.

"Report, reconnaissance by carrier-based reconnaissance planes has shown that all Japanese shore guns on the shore have been destroyed, and the fleet can now safely enter Tokyo Bay..."

"Good... The four cruisers, led by the Parrot, acted as the front of the fleet and entered Tokyo Bay first, while concentrating their fire on the defending forces of Yokosu Naval Port and destroying all artillery in the harbor that could threaten the fleet. Putting down the telescope in his hand, McHausen commanded the combat staff officer with a determined face. The long whistle sounded again on the sea, and the four cruisers, filled with the smell of gunsmoke, lined up and slowly sailed into Tokyo Bay under the watchful eyes of all the officers and men of the temporary fleet.

As one of the four major military ports of the Japanese army, Yokosu Military Port is second to none in terms of sea defense and air defense capabilities. In the eyes of all the Japanese, even if the Chinese Expeditionary Force launched a landing operation, it would not choose this military fortress-like Yokosu military port for landing. And it is with such a fluke attitude, coupled with the increasingly important position of Yokosu Military Port in Japan, all the defending soldiers are some old soldiers who have not experienced war all year round, and all of this is directly doomed to the final fate of Yokosu Military Port.

"The warship, it's the warship of the people of China..." In the radar control room of the military port, looking at the few black dots that suddenly appeared on the display frequency, a Japanese radar soldier directly let out an exclamation while the others were shocked and puzzled.

"How is it possible, how can the warships of the Shina people come to my Yokosu military port? Don't. Are the people of China crazy? Looking at the few white dots on the radar display screen heading directly in the direction of the port, another Japanese radar soldier muttered to himself with an incredible look. However, it was this thing that could not have happened in their eyes, and it happened naturally under McHausen's decision.

Looking at the radar display frequency, there were several warships that were less than twenty kilometers away from the port and were still moving at high speed, and the radar commander finally reacted. Facing his subordinates who were still in a state of stunned, he roared directly. "Yaga. What are you doing in a daze, quickly sound the alarm for early warning, and closely monitor the movements of the Chinese fleet... I will go to the headquarters at once and report to His Excellency the Commander in person..."

"Woo woo woo..." The sharp sound of the attack siren sounded in the sky over the Yokosu Military Port, which had just been a peaceful military port, and instantly fell into chaos. The perennial pampering made the Japanese troops stationed here not think about how to resist the enemy when they were really attacked, but how to avoid this war. It took up to ten minutes for the chaos to calm down under the bloody suppression of the Naval Port Command. Then, under the command of officers of all ranks, the port defense units moved into their own combat positions.

Prepared for the war, and before McHausen ordered the fleet to sail into Tokyo Bay, he had ordered all the carrier-based aircraft in the fleet to take to the air with bombs, and the chaotic Japanese positions in the harbor were first attacked by fire from the air. White phosphorus bombs, large cloud burst bombs, and low-altitude and high-explosive bombs were taken into battle one after another, and after the baptism of hundreds of large-caliber naval artillery shells, all the buildings that might pose a threat to the fleet in the entire Yokosu Military Port were all turned into a pile of rubble without exception.

As for the dozens of shore defense guns built by the Japanese army around the port, they have also been buried directly in the not very strong batteries along with the soldiers. In the flagship command room of the temporary fleet, a communications staff officer rushed in excitedly, and before anyone could ask a question, the excited-looking communications staff officer directly shouted: "Report, the reconnaissance aircraft of the carrier has shown that all the predetermined targets in the Japanese Yokosu military port have been completely destroyed by our naval artillery fire..."

Everyone in the command cabin looked at McHausen expectantly, but the latter smiled at this time, "Tell the parrots to slow down, we still have a lot of time, don't rush." Inform the boss that our mission has been completed and the intended purpose has been achieved, and the next step is to watch the Dangkou Army put on a show. ”
