Chapter 254: Landing Port
The bombardment continued, and the Huafu fleet began to close its lines and begin to clean up the few large battleships and small destroyers remaining in the Japanese fleet. That's right, it's to clean up, Guo Yu's words are not to take prisoners, although some warships are now damaged and have no ability to fight back when they are stopped at sea, but the Huafu fleet will not let him go so lightly.
The admiral died immediately, the battleship died at sea, and the sea would be the best burial place for the Japanese fleet.
"The whole fleet is there, each ship is looking for targets for the final finishing touches, His Majesty has an order, don't take prisoners, sink them all, and again, sink them all." Lin Haichao took the microphone and gave the final order.
As for the Japanese soldiers who floated on the sea, a few nautical miles from the coastline, after soaking in the cold waters for a while, if they could swim and go by themselves, it can only be said that this person was really fateful.
The King Kong was the last battleship to sink, this 30,000-ton big guy, under the continuous attack of 5 missiles and 3 torpedoes, could not stand it anymore, and in the explosion of the last torpedo, it capsized violently, and then plunged headlong into the sea.
"Victory, victory," there was a loud cheer from inside the bridge. First the staff officers in the command room and the communications department stood up and cheered, then all the soldiers of the entire Makino began to cheer, and finally all the warships of the entire Huafu fleet seemed to erupt, and cheered at the same time, although there was wind and waves on the sea, but they could not stop the sound of cheering.
"Your Majesty, we've won." Lin Haichao excitedly ran to Guo Yu's side and said loudly.
Guo Yu is also full of smiles, although he is quite calm, but the excitement in his heart is incomprehensible, he led his fleet in another time and space to defeat the once invincible Japanese Navy, how can this make Guo Yu unhappy.
"Fight well, all the officers and men of the Huafu fleet are good, and you will be rewarded heavily after you go back, you Lin Haichao has made great contributions, and the empire will not treat meritorious people badly." Saying that, Guo Yu patted Lin Haichao's shoulder.
Those who are soldiers are also people, and promotions and salary increases to higher-level official positions are their pursuits, and they must be given these when they are good people, and Guo Yu will not be stingy.
"Do a good job of sweeping up the tail and occupy the Yokosuka military port, there is still a lot of work left, we must hurry up and go to work." Guo Yu said.
"It's Your Majesty." Lin Haichao ran to do his job with excitement.
After a short time, the statistics of the Huafu fleet also came out, there was no damage to the ships, but the loss of ammunition was a little large, more than 40% of the missiles were used, and more than 60% of the torpedoes were used, but now there is no time for supplies, and it is necessary to occupy the Yokosuka military port in one go, otherwise the Japanese army will have time to react, and the landing will be much more troublesome.
"Makino, Julu, Chibi, and Changping, set out in the direction of Yokosuka Military Port, clean up any Japanese surface targets, prepare the landing ships, and directly force the landing after the enemy's vitality in the military port is basically cleared, and let the army occupy the entire Yokosuka Military Port." Lin Haichao gave the order.
At this time, in the Yokosuka Military Port, only some small patrol boats were left to carry out rescue work, and those smoking giant ships had lost their combat capability, and some of them were even crooked, and they were in danger of sinking into the sea at any time, and the patrol boats were carrying out the work of rescuing and repairing personnel.
However, the construction is not as fast as it is destroyed, and their task force plays too little role for the entire fleet.
Yokosuka Military Port is not a narrow bay port, and the water depth is very suitable for large warships to drive and moor, so the battleships can penetrate deeply, and the busy patrol boats suddenly saw the battleships coming over in the night, and the soldiers were stunned for a while, thinking that their fleet was back, but some sharp-eyed soldiers found that these battleships were very different from the warships of their own Japanese Navy, and began to react, this is the enemy's warship coming.
"Not good, it's an enemy battleship."
"Retreat, hurry up and hide, the enemy's battleships are coming."
"Don't give up on me, please pull me up." The soldiers who were still in the sea shouted loudly, hoping that the patrol boats would save them, because they were exhausted and they could not hold on, but when they saw the patrol boats scattered away, the hearts of the soldiers who fell into the water became cold.
At this time, the naval guns on the Huafu Navy battleships came into play, the gunners used their sights to fire at the small ships that escaped, the 130 mm naval guns started at a speed of several tens per minute, and the rapid-fire guns were shot out with thousands of rounds per minute, although these naval guns were slightly inferior to the battleships, but they were indeed more than enough to deal with patrol boats with only tens or hundreds of tons.
Accurate shooting, ultra-high rate of fire, so that the patrol boats in the bay can not dodge, have been hit and burst into flames, patrol boats are too small, there is not much protection at all, under the attack of shells, one after another was hit by bullets and exploded, was blown to pieces, a large number of battleships after the explosion of the remnants floating on the sea, the scene is very tragic.
The port of Yokosuka has set up 34 coastal defense batteries on both sides of the Uraga waterway, which can be regarded as the last defense force of the Yokosuka military port, and the Japanese navy originally thought that Japan had a strong navy, and these coastal defense guns may never play a role, but now they have become their last resort.
"Lock on to the position of the shore defense artillery and start the attack."
"Missile launches."
However, the Huafu fleet would not let the enemy have a chance to fight back, the missiles locked onto the target, and one by one missiles weighing several tons rushed out of the silos, and according to the laser-guided route, they hit the targets one after another, and many unprepared batteries and missiles hit, and the cannons were directly blown up and scrapped, losing their due role.
Today, Guo Yu is not sparing no blood, but also to completely destroy Japan's resistance ability, the missiles are used up and spent money to buy, as long as this battle is won, it will definitely be a lucrative deal, by that time the Japanese island will be made into a stripped beauty, completely exposed to the Huafu army's strike range.
He wanted to turn Yokosuka into an advance base for the landing of the Huafu Army in Japan, and Yokosuka was the entrance to Tokyo Bay, only fifty or sixty kilometers from Tokyo, the capital of Japan, and it was definitely a good place.
This is also one of the key points of Japan's defense, and it is one of the places that cannot be lost, so the Huafu army needs to quickly fight and quickly occupy the military port before it can carry out the next military operation.
Yokosuka is a naval base, which has been completely allocated for use by the navy, so there are not many ground forces, except for the naval soldiers, there are only more than 6,000 soldiers responsible for guarding the naval base, and they are not equipped with high-power weapons, at most only rifles and machine guns, so the combat effectiveness is not very strong.
However, in Kanagawa Prefecture, there are 25,000 soldiers of the Japanese Fourth Division, which is located in Kanagawa Prefecture near Tokyo, in the middle of Tokyo and Yokosuka, in order to play the role of a protective line, about 30 kilometers from the Yokosuka Military Port.
"Hurry up the attack and quickly clear a passage for the landing craft." Lin Haichao gave an order after looking at the current form.
The fleet attacked more ferociously, and the patrol boats had no power to fight back, but could only explode and smash under the bombardment of naval guns, sinking to the bottom of the sea, and now the Yokosuka military port has become an Shura slaughterhouse, with a large number of ship remnants and the corpses of naval soldiers floating on the water.
A lot of soldiers have been organized on the military port to start shooting, preparing to prevent the landing of the Huafu fleet, Guo Yu felt a little funny when he saw this scene, it was really a grasshopper shaking the tree, what effect can shooting a battleship with a rifle play, besides, at a distance of several thousand meters, can a rifle really hit the battleship.
When the fleet was attacked in the bay for the first time, Admiral Shigetaro Yoshimatsu, Vice Admiral Murakami Geichi and others were awakened, and as a battle-hardened soldier, they naturally knew that something was wrong, and they were shocked when they saw the group of warships outside the harbor being attacked, exploding and catching fire.
At first, they still had a hint of illusion that the enemy would only dare to attack and that as long as the fleet reacted and counterattacked, the enemy would not return, but when they contacted their own fleet, they found that there was no way to contact them by telegram, and this discovery really scared a group of admirals into a cold sweat, what kind of spell did the enemy use, and it could affect the use of telegraphs in the naval base.
Later, when he saw the battleship Hiei take the lead and sail out of the military port to meet the enemy, and then the other warships of the combined fleet followed, and no one flinched because of timidity, which made General Yoshimatsu Shigetaro feel relieved for a while, and he was also proud of his soldiers, indicating that the soldiers of the empire were strong.
But half an hour later, when the enemy's warships sailed into the military port and began to attack the stranded warships and small patrol boats, slaughtering their own soldiers, General Yoshimatsu Shigetaro felt his heart become cold, what does this mean, could it be that the warships of the empire have been sunk, otherwise how dare the enemy break directly into the bay.
The empire has gathered 22 large battleships, more than 30 destroyers, and more than a dozen auxiliary ships here, which is already the most powerful combat power of the imperial navy, but how long has it been, since the enemy's sneak attack, there is only a short hour, but only in this short hour, its combined fleet, there is no longer a single battleship cruising on the sea.
The enemy is still brutally attacking those small patrol boats, they are a group of inhumane guys, these patrol boats that have no attack power at all use such powerful naval guns, watching the patrol boats are hit and exploded, Admiral Yoshimatsu Shigetaro is only sad.
"Organize all the soldiers in the military port, arrange positions, and prevent the enemy from landing in the port, we in the Great Japanese Empire only have soldiers killed in battle, and there are no cowards who retreat." Senior General Shigetaro Yoshimatsu yelled, and the harbor protection soldiers gathered outside the harbor and used a qiē shield to prepare for the establishment of a temporary position. R1152
