The sound of explosions from three warships on the sea naturally attracted the attention of the Japanese infantry who had successfully landed. Looking at the warships struggling on the sea, these Japanese infantry who came ashore looked a little dumbfounded.

In their opinion, the sea is undoubtedly safer than the danger on land. But the scene that happened at sea at this moment made the Japanese infantry on the shore feel at a loss and did not know what to do.

After all, if they had an accident on the shore, the navy, which acted as a vigilance guard, would still provide them with some artillery cover. But they stayed on the shore and faced the warship that had an accident, but they could only watch.

Just when the Japanese patrol boats and gunboats scattered around were about to rush to the rescue from all around. The coastal defense team, which had been waiting nearby for a long time, rushed over with a number of high-speed gunboats at top speed.

According to the intelligence reported by the vigilance submarine, the Japanese fleet closest to Davao would probably take less than three hours to return to Davao at full speed. Within these three hours, they had to annihilate the Japanese fleet in the port of Davao.

Standing on one of the largest gunboats, Sun Hao, the captain of the first defense team, looked at the Japanese patrol boat that appeared in sight, and immediately said, "Turn on the lights!" Slow down, gunners prepare! Surround and annihilate these little devils in battle formation! ”

"Yes, Captain!"

The three most threatening warships have been destroyed by the submarine detachment, and the remaining Japanese gunboats and patrol boats of about the same tonnage as the 1st Defense Squadron are left, and the officers and men of the 1st Defense Squadron are not afraid.

After all, for this day, the officers and men of the entire defense team have waited too long and too long! For the time being, they don't dare to confront the big ships of the little devils, and they are really eager to compete with the little devils at sea.

The Japanese patrol boat and gunboat, which were preparing to rescue the three attacked warships, looked at the outflanked defense team, and the Japanese soldiers staying on the ship immediately panicked: "Enemy attack, there are unknown ships attacking!" Get ready to intercept! Get ready to intercept! ”

When the Japanese ships began to prepare to intercept and counterattack, looking at the Japanese ships that had already entered the firing range, Sun Hao had already ordered: "Open the gun!" Rush over, don't entangle with the little devil ships, and cut through their defensive formations first! ”

"Yes, all gun emplacements ready! Shell loading, aiming, putting! ”

The roar of shells rang out, and several Guards gunboats were the first to open fire. Even if some of the shells from the gunboats missed, there were still shells that accurately hit the gunboats of the little devils.

Compared to the small devil large warship, it is not a big deal to take two shells from a gunboat. However, for the Japanese gunboats of the same small tonnage, the consequences of a single shell may cause the gunboats to lose their combat effectiveness.

When the gunboats of the two sides were about to make contact, the gunboats of the escort group, which had the advantage of firing first, all showed the fastest speed and the most accurate aiming level in ordinary training, and opened heavy fire on the Japanese ships in front.

At the same time, the Japanese warships, which had escaped the first round of shelling, were also rapidly adjusting their gun positions and preparing for a counterattack. In this case, the gunboats on both sides knew that at this time they could only meet in a narrow way, and the brave would win.

"Yaga! Quick, aim, fire! ”

The gunboats accompanying the Japanese also opened fire, and the gunboats of both sides exchanged fire on the sea. From time to time, gunboats were hit, and soldiers were killed by shells or fell into the sea. But in the face of all this, Sun Hao didn't pay much attention to it.

In this case, the gunboat formation cannot be stopped, and as soon as it stops, it is possible to be hit by the gunboats of the little devils. Compared with the gunboats of the little devils, the new gunboats they have modified are better than the gunboats of the little devils in terms of armor thickness and speed.

Listen to the observation post's report: "Captain, boat seven has been shot!" If the visual damage is severe, do you need to provide support? ”

As soon as he heard this, Sun Hao immediately shouted: "Keep the battle formation and rush over for me!" Don't stop! Wait for the battle to end before the rescue, and now as soon as we stop, the entire battle formation will make a mistake, continue to fire! Fast! ”

Even Sun Hao wanted to stop the boat to rescue those officers and soldiers who fell into the sea, but he knew that he couldn't stop in this situation. In addition to comparing the artillery shelling level of both sides with the little devils, you also have to compete with the little devils to see who can hold out more to the end.

Looking at the gunboats that were constantly being shot, but were still driving and counterattacking, Sun Hao could only grit his teeth and pretend not to see it. And the rest of the officers and soldiers on the gunboat also knew that they couldn't stop at this time, so they could only fight with the little devils.

It wasn't even long before the badly damaged Gunboat Seven, a co-captain who was still on the gunboat, looked at a Japanese gunboat in front of him. Gritted his teeth and said: "If you can still breathe, you will jump into the sea for me to wait for rescue, and I will take care of the rest!" ”

"First mate, what do you want to do?"

"The captain has died, I have the final say! Quick, carry out the order, if you don't jump, we're all going to die here! Jump ship! ”

After shouting these words at the officers around him, the remaining officers and men on the gunboat could only grit their teeth and jump into the sea with a lifebuoy in their arms. And the first mate of the gunboat came directly to the wheelhouse and pushed the gunboat to the highest speed.

Looking at the No. 7 gunboat that suddenly accelerated and rushed forward, Sun Hao suddenly realized something and shouted: "No. 7 gunboat, what do they want to do?" Damn it, don't! ”

With Sun Hao's somewhat mournful voice, the No. 7 gunboat crashed straight into the largest tonnage Japanese gunboat blocking the front. After the two gunboats collided violently, the heavily damaged gunboat No. 7 soon exploded.

The Japanese gunboat, which was hit, was seriously damaged at the same time and lost power, not to mention. The Japanese officers and men on the gunboat were also violently slammed, and they staggered and turned their heads in dizzy. The ruthlessness of the opponent also greatly shocked these arrogant Japanese soldiers.

When the defense team cut through the Japanese defensive formation, they began to turn the bow of the ship. There was originally a convoy of fourteen gunboats, but only eleven remained. Of the remaining three gunboats, one exploded and sank, two lost power.

Seeing that there were still two of his own gunboats that were originally bombarding, Sun Hao immediately said: "Beat the flag and inform the whole team of gunboats to kill back!" Be sure to sink all the remaining little devil gunboat patrol boats for me, at all costs! ”

"Yes, Captain!"

With Sun Hao's command boat playing the flag of returning and attacking again, the rest of the gunboats quickly completed a U-turn at sea. Not long after, the gunboat formation, which had once again formed a battle formation, returned to the place where the battle had been fought before.

At this moment, there are not many gunboats left in the Japanese army, and the lethality of patrol boats is naturally not as powerful as that of gunboats. Therefore, the key target of the defense team in the first round of attacks was the gunboats of the little devils.

In the face of the many gunboats that came back again, the remaining little devil ships also knew that their fate was doomed. Firepower, armor and speed, they are inferior to the opponent's gunboats, how can this win?

When the last gunboat was sunk by Sun Hao and others, looking at the Japanese infantry on the opposite side who were already in chaos, Sun Hao said with a cold expression: "Send the flag, take the squad as a unit, and blow up and sink all the Japanese ships on the sea!" ”

As the command boat issued the flag, the gunboat formation in groups of two quickly dispersed and pursued the remaining Japanese ships that began to flee on the sea. And Sun Hao also gave an order in time to rescue the officers and soldiers of his own gunboat that fell.

For those little devils and naval officers and soldiers who fell into the water, Sun Hao said directly: "Shoot, kill them, we don't want to take prisoners!" ”

"Yes, Captain!"

This time, the first defense team entered the battle, and a gunboat exploded and sank after impact, and a gunboat completely lost power and is now half-sunk in the sea. There are also three gunboats that are damaged to varying degrees, and I am afraid that they will have to be pulled back to the base for repairs.

It's just that compared to their results, Sun Hao feels that such a battle loss is somewhat acceptable. Even a Japanese destroyer, which had not yet sunk, was completely sunk into the sea in front of Davao Harbor under the siege of several gunboats.

As the pursuing gunboats returned, looking at the Japanese troops who were already in chaos on the beach in front of them, Sun Hao also ordered in time: "Keep one base number of shells, and the rest of the shells will hit me ashore and blow up those damn little devils." ”

"Yes, Captain!"

Looking at the gunboats that began to line up to dump shells on the sand wall, the Japanese landing force that thought that this time it would be able to take Davao City in one battle suddenly looked a little dumbfounded. They all know that tonight is going to be very difficult.

The retreat was cut off, and the beach was shelled by gunboats, so the Japanese commander on the beach could only order: "Give up the beachhead, carry useful supplies, and go to Davao City to join our troops in the city."

Just hold out for a few more hours and our rescue fleet will arrive. Those materials that can't be moved are temporarily discarded here. Quick, retreat to the city first, and join our large army! ”

Faced with the little devil on the beach finally retreating, the communication officer who had already received the telegram also said in a timely manner: "Captain, the base camp has sent a telegram ordering us to quickly withdraw from this sea area, the little devil's fleet has set off and will arrive soon." ”

"Alright, order the boats to retreat quickly! This battle is really enjoyable! ”

As a former lieutenant of the National Navy, Sun Hao never thought that one day, he would really have the opportunity to fight against the navy of the little devil. Watching the Japanese destroyer completely sunk before, many officers and men from the same background as him burst into tears.

Having experienced the bullying of the Japanese bowl navy, they once thought that there would be such a day. But when they were at home, they knew that they were afraid that there would be no such opportunity. And today at the port of Davao, they finally witnessed this moment with their own eyes.

Even if the current defense team is still very weak, not even a thousand-ton ship. However, Sun Hao believes that in the future, their wolf head will sooner or later equip the defense team with large warships that are truly suitable for operations in the open sea.

And the next thing they have to do is wait patiently. Hide in the shadows and find the opportunity to bite the little devil hard. Even if the little devils have large warships, their team of gunboats is also not a group of vegetarians.

With the submarine formation of the Wolf Warriors, in the designated offshore area, they can also destroy the large warships of the Japanese army. And tonight's battle in front of Port Davao has undoubtedly proved it!
