The battleship Admiral Latore spit out black smoke, the horsepower was increased to the maximum, and in ten minutes it reached the maximum speed.

I saw this steel monster howl and spit out billowing black smoke and rush towards the stone statue island. The battleship is 190.5 meters long, 31.4 meters wide, with a draft of 8.7 meters, and the tip of the mainmast is nearly 30 meters above the sea.

At this time, Li Guang was in the headquarters in the southwest of Shixiang Island, and the headquarters was set up on the mountain, with a good view of the port. At 12:30 p.m., a report from the southeastern gun position came over the phone: "The Chilean battleship is approaching from the southwest, at a distance of twenty nautical miles. ”

Damn, the Chilean Navy did not attack from the southeast. Li Guang immediately ordered Cheng Zhongying, the commander of the heavy artillery, to turn the muzzle.

Unable to see the specific battle situation, Li Guang could not stay in the command headquarters, so he immediately moved to the southwest artillery position with a group of staff officers and heralds. You can see the sea clearly.

One of the things on the island of the Statue is quite modern, with telephone lines all over the island and easy communication. Moreover, the heralds also carry walkie-talkies on their backs, so communication will not be affected no matter where they are.

The distance between the headquarters and the southwest gun position was only two hundred meters in a straight line, but it was a full kilometer to get there, and it was still a mountain road.

Li Guang was running out of breath, and at that moment there was a scream in the air, and the battleship Admiral La Torre opened fire. This was the first time Li Guang had heard the sound of large-caliber naval guns, and it was the first time for the maritime resistance soldiers and civilians on the island.

The screech of cannonballs was followed by four earth-shattering loud bangs. The battleship's cannon was powerful enough, although it did not hit the land, it only exploded along the coastline. But the whole island that shook seemed to be shaking. Four huge columns of water stir up on the shoreline, interspersed with mud. Just four shells exploded, creating a yellow curtain of water. From Li Guang's point of view, it actually obscured his vision.

At this moment, many people have a feeling that such a huge earthquake will erupt the volcano that shook the three volcanoes?

You know, the hills in the triangle of Statues are all extinct volcanoes.

The place where the shell landed was a full 1.5 kilometers away from Li Guang, and at such a distance, Li Guang felt his footsteps floating. Li Guangguang shouted: "All speed up and enter the gun position." ”

More than twenty people, desperately running towards the gun position. In the face of the threat of cannons, no one thought that their lives could be assured in the open mountains.

During the second round of shelling from the battleship Admiral Latorre, Li Guang was already close to the gun position, and he was only thirty or forty meters away from the entrance of the cave. He could clearly see that the fire on the battleship was shining, and there were not only flames but also black smoke spewing from the muzzles.

Amid the screaming of cannonballs, Li Guang rushed into the cave.

With a few explosions that cracked the sky and the earth, a furious rush urged several warriors to stumble into the cave. It's as if someone is pushing behind it. The explosion point was five hundred meters away from Li Guang's location, but the power was still huge, and at this moment Li Guang felt that there was silence around him, and his head was buzzing. This gun emplacement has not yet returned fire, the Chileans are not immortals, it is impossible to detect at all, and it is clear that the Admiral La Torre is indiscriminately firing at a long distance.

But when Li Guang, who had calmed down, saw the harm of the shelling just now, he realized the intention of the Chilean Navy. The battleship had a total of five twin turrets, with a slightly odd layout, two in the front, two in the back, and one in the middle. The shelling was fired from the two turrets in the bow of the ship, and a total of four shells were fired, one of which exploded near the runway of the airfield. The huge crater was enough to fit a small car, and what worried Li Guang was a few motionless bodies lying on the ground not far away. It was a fighter of the Naval Resistance Army.

Not good, the enemy is going to blow up the runway. Even if not to bomb the runway, fighters are now the most dangerous. All seven warplanes are now parked at the airfield to refuel and reload, defenseless against the giant artillery.

"Take-off...... Instantly. Li Guang grabbed the walkie-talkie and immediately gave an order. The fighters are scattered on the runway, and if they can't take off in time, they will definitely be destroyed.

In the telescope, Li Guang saw a transport plane start first, and then a fighter plane also turned its propeller. It was at this time that the battleship opened fire again.

Li Guangguang shouted hidden, but his cry could not reach far at all. Watch as the shells explode on the island again. Although a shell did not directly hit the runway, the huge explosion power, at a distance of hundreds of meters, actually overturned a fighter plane and pushed it dozens of meters away. At this time, Li Guang was distressed, not because he felt sorry for the fighters, but because he felt sorry for the pilots. You must know that there are only five pilots in the Naval Resistance Army who can fly the P40, looking at the fighter plane that was blown to pieces by the shock wave, and the fire that soared into the sky. Li Guang knew that the Naval Resistance Army had lost one pilot. This was the first pilot lost by the Naval Resistance Army, and his name was Wang Wei.

The ground crew at the airport staggered to their feet and pushed the fighter into the runway. At this moment, no one is sad, no one thinks of running away. Yes, where can you run and run? Only by defeating the enemy is the only way out for the Chinese on the entire stone statue island. They don't even think, they just do the right thing with their intuition.

A little more than a minute later, the Chilean battleship opened fire again. This time, the shells landed a full kilometer away from the runway, but they caused even greater harm to the naval resistance forces. There's a hidden ministry there.

This hidden part is a deep trench dug in the ground, on which are laid with three layers of logs, and between the layers there is a layer of soil more than a foot thick, and there is a layer of soil and stone of two or three meters at the top. If it was a 150mm caliber shell, or even a 203mm shell, it would not be able to blow up this concealment department, but under the ravages of the 356mm cannon, the seemingly solid concealment part had no resistance and was destroyed with one blow. And the shells used by the battleship were not armor-piercing shells yet, but only anti-personnel grenades.

The Chilean shelling target shifted to give the air force three minutes, and before another round of shelling, all four warplanes and two transport planes waddled to takeoff.

The situation was nothing short of sloppy, and the sand and gravel dust stirred up by this round of shelling almost chased the tail of the last fighter. Pilot Li Yun could even feel the fighter being vigorously pushed under the impact of the blast wave, and the sand and gravel crashing against the fuselage. At this moment, he even felt like he was going to die. It's hard to put into words.

The fighter squad and the transport plane squad attacked again, almost with the determination to die, and the reason why Yuan Yin and Liu Guobang took off a few minutes late was so that they could load the bombs.

The situation is very dangerous, and seeing that the battleships have begun to bomb the Stone Statue Island indiscriminately, as long as three or five shells fall on the runway, then these fighters will not be able to land. That is, this is already the final blow of the Air Force.

In the final blow, the transport planes are tasked with bombing the battleships, while the fighters must wipe out all the Chilean auxiliary ships. As for the arduous nature of this task, several pilots such as Yuan Yin and Liu Gensheng had already realized it when they took off.
