Chapter 215: Something Isn't Right About It!

This one-sided killing is truly exhilarating! With the help of flames and searchlights, the Americans methodically reduced everything to ashes, rather than the violent sound of martyrdom, which made the Americans sure that they were attacking the Spanish army!

Rumble! As the shelling continued, the cargo stations and dock facilities on land were also destroyed, and with the roar of heavy artillery, huge fireballs rose into the sky, and then countless sparks dissipated into the air. The violent explosion triggered a firestorm, which quickly spread to the entire port under the blowing of the sea breeze, countless shrapnel swept across the entire target area like the scythe of death, tearing everything that could be touched into pieces, the elegant hot air and poisonous gas harvested a large number of lives in an instant like an invisible killer, no one knows how many people died in this shelling that lasted for more than 2 hours under the accidental collision of the Americans! Perhaps the Japanese casualties can be clarified, but the casualties of the Filipino rebels and Spaniards, who were also present, will probably remain a mystery forever.

"It's boring, it's easier than hunting a turkey." After the initial excitement, Shelly also felt a little bored, the other party was too weak, so weak that they had no ability to resist at all, they did not have any firepower against the sea, nor did they have any vigilance, and they were suddenly attacked by a fleet with a crushing firepower advantage.

Soon, however, the Japanese counterattacked and in the shadow of the searchlight, a group of Japanese torpedo boats rushed towards the American warships that were constantly spitting deadly bullets, and like the Americans, the Japanese did not know who they were fighting against! They always thought it was the return of the main Spanish fleet.

"It's torpedo boats, they have torpedo boats!" A sharp-eyed American lookout spotted a torpedo boat that was quickly rowing across the sea with the help of a searchlight, and this news soon spread throughout the entire fleet, more searchlights were turned on, and a dense column of light swept across the entire sea, under the intersection of the pillars of light, a team of torpedo boats gradually showed their figure, and they were greeted by the attack of nearly 100 guns of various calibers!

Countless shells flew like moths to the exposed Japanese lightning formation under the guidance of searchlights, and in just a few seconds, the leading torpedo boat was blown into a casual by the dense rain of bullets, accompanied by a loud bang, a column of water more than 50 meters high rose on the sea surface, and the debris fell on the other torpedo boats, while the remaining torpedo boats still rushed to the target without fear of death.

The entire U.S. fleet was forced to relax its artillery bombardment on land, and artillery of all calibers struck a web of fire on the flanks of the fleet, blasting to pieces anything that dared to challenge its majesty. The torpedo boats quickly drew arcs on the sea surface, trying to find a relatively thin place to break through, but unfortunately, the Americans' naval guns were too many and too dense, no matter from that direction, the dense barrage could cause fatal damage to torpedo boats with only a few tens of tons! The Japanese were like moths throwing fire into their fire, but one or two lucky guys would throw a torpedo that was not so reliable at a distance of about 800 meters.

"These guys are crazy! And the Spaniards of Morro Bay are simply two creatures! Seeing this torpedo slashing less than 50 meters in front of his flagship Olympia, Shelly couldn't help but wipe a cold sweat, thinking that if the Spaniards could have this fighting spirit and skill in the battle of Morro Bay a few days ago, although the result was still death, at least it could make the US Navy uncomfortable, and in fact, that battle was completely abuse. Shelly doesn't feel as passionate about fighting against torpedo boats this time!

However, after a false alarm, the Americans were not intimidated, jokes, these torpedo boats are just a few mosquitoes in the eyes of the Americans, and how many mosquitoes will a lion be afraid of? After this episode, in addition to ordering the ships to be cautious, the American fleet once again projected ferocious fire on targets at sea and ashore, and the sound of explosions sounded one after another,

The Japanese, who were used to being poor, wanted to mobilize manpower to transport the materials around the port away at the beginning, but there was no way, during this time, more than 10,000 Japanese troops had landed on Luzon Island, and most of the ammunition and food, drink and Lazar of these more than 10,000 people had to rely on the port for supplies. I have to say that the Japanese soldiers in this era were still relatively gentle, and under the orders and threats of the officers, groups of Japanese soldiers rushed to the fire, hoping to rescue something.

However, this is of no avail. The fierce flames instantly turned the soldiers into burning living people, and heart-rending wails rang out from time to time. God knows how easily the shrapnel from that shot can reap the lives of these personnel. In the thunderous sound of artillery, more than eighty percent of the Japanese rescue troops were blown into a pile of minced meat or charcoal, while many of the remaining people were also severely burned, or their respiratory tracts were severely damaged by inhaling hot air, and they ended their lives after struggling in extreme pain and wailing for several days!

"That's pretty much enough, right?" Looking at the raging fire that had already turned half of the sky red, he had just recovered from the excitement of the battle and came to Shelly and felt that he was a little too much, he was not pitiful to the enemy, but because Manila Bay was a very good natural harbor, after the battle, the Americans were going to use it, and it was all blown up like this, how much did it cost to rebuild? Well, let's be honest, that's not something he needs to think about.

And just when Shelly was booming, something happened outside the port, and the cruiser Rurik, which was patrolling the perimeter, intercepted a Japanese transport ship, and when it was forced to stop under the threat of Rurik's searchlights and naval guns, the Russians who boarded the transport ship through the dinghy suddenly found that they were not facing the Spani, but the Japanese! It was a bunch of supplies and ammunition that was being transported on board!

So, the witty Essen figured out the ins and outs of the problem at once, and the Japanese really came! Occupied Manila Bay before the Americans! And the Americans fought for more than an hour, and it was the Japanese who attacked! Before the United States and Japan officially declared war, the Americans had already inflicted tons of damage on the Japanese Army! Ethan looked up at the port that had turned into a sea of fire in the distance, and thought to himself that the two sides would become a dead knot now, and he would declare war if he didn't want to.
