The battle for the Yokosu military port

"Boom...."

A series of earth-shaking shell explosions sounded on the Japanese position, and suddenly, clouds of gunpowder smoke like mushroom clouds rose directly into the air. From the observation of the seaplane, it can be clearly seen that wherever the naval artillery shells were hit, all the land within a radius of 100 meters, centered on the impact point, was burned to coke.

As for the several large-caliber shore defense guns that were exposed to the surface of the position and were directly hit by the ship's guns, at this moment, they have been dismembered into a pile of parts. The little devil artillerymen were either directly blown to the point of no bones, or under the influence of the shock wave generated by the explosion of the shell, they were directly shocked to the point of bleeding through seven holes, turning into a corpse without any sound.

The little devil shore defense artillery artilleryman, who had never suffered a blow, looked at the bloody scene in front of him, coupled with the hearing that was still buzzing, because the sound of the explosion had not yet fully recovered. All of them stopped at the work at hand, looking at the scene in front of them with a blank expression.

"Baga, what are you still stunned for, counterattack, immediately counterattack, sink the Chinese cruiser, otherwise we will all be blown up, immediately open fire ...."

"Fire it now, or you'll die..."

Amid the roars and angry scolding of the little devil officers, the artillerymen, who were still sluggish, reacted from their shock. However, although the work in their hands did not stop after being frightened just now, it can be clearly felt from their slightly panicked expressions and mechanical and numb movements. The first salvo of four cruisers frightened them ...

There was no protection from the battery. Plus the lack of range. The more than 1,000 artillery men on the two shore defense artillery positions are destined to become the funeral objects of the current Japanese military government. After 10 rounds of salvo fire, the more than 150 large-caliber coastal defense guns deployed by the Japanese army on both sides of the strait were all turned into piles of scrap metal. The mouth of the Gulf of Tonkin, which stood in the way of the Chinese Expeditionary Force fleet, was completely open to the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

"Commander-in-chief, seaplane reconnaissance has shown that all the Japanese naval guns on both sides of the strait have been destroyed, and the fleet can safely enter Tokyo Bay...."Chen Shaokuan, who finally realized that he had played a role, reported confidently while being excited.

"Very well....four cruisers, as the vanguard of the formation, entered Tokyo Bay first and launched an artillery attack on the defenders of Yokosu Military Port. Destroy all artillery in the harbor that could threaten our fleet. Putting down the binoculars, Liu Hua ordered with a firm face.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief...."

A long whistle sounded over the sea, and four cruisers lined up. Under the watchful eyes of all the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force, slowly sailed into Tokyo Bay ....

As one of Japan's four major military ports, Yokosu Military Port is second to none in terms of sea defense and air defense. In the eyes of all Japanese, even if the Chinese Expeditionary Force launched a landing operation, it would not choose this Yokosu military port, which was like a military fortress, for landing.

And with such a fluke attitude, coupled with the increasingly important position of the Yokosu Military Port in the country, all the defender soldiers are some old soldiers who have not experienced war all year round... All of this is directly doomed to the ultimate fate of the Yokosu Military Port.

"Warship. Chinese warships...."In the radar control room of the military port, looking at several black dots that suddenly appeared on the display frequency, a little devil radar soldier, while being shocked and puzzled, directly let out an exclamation...

"How is it possible, how can the Chinese warships come to my Yokosu military port... Could it be that the Chinese are all crazy? Looking at the few white dots on the radar display that were heading directly in the direction of the port, another radar soldier muttered to himself with an incredible look.

However, this is what they see as impossible. At the discretion of Liu Hua, commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, it happened. ..., looking at the display frequency, there were only less than twenty kilometers left from the port, and the radar commander finally reacted. Facing his subordinates who were still in a state of stunned, he roared directly: "Baga." 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..."

"Woooooo

Sharp sirens sounded over the Yokosu Military Port, which had just been a peaceful military port, and instantly fell into chaos. The perennial pampering makes these little devils not think about how to resist the enemy when they are 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 at all levels, they entered their own combat positions in an orderly manner.

In order to be prepared to fight and unprepared, and before the start of the war, the four cruisers had clearly known the specific location of the Japanese coastal defense artillery positions from the hands of the special combat team. The whole artillery battle came and ended quickly.

After the baptism of more than 400 rounds of large-caliber naval artillery shells. The entire military port, all the buildings that could pose a threat to the landing force, without exception, were reduced to a pile of rubble. As for the dozens of shore defense guns built by the Japanese army around the port, along with the soldiers, they were buried directly in the not very strong batteries.

In the command room of the 'Beijing' aircraft carrier, a communications staff officer rushed in excitedly. Before everyone could ask questions, he said directly: "Report to the chiefs, seaplane reconnaissance shows that all the intended targets in the Japanese Yokosu Military Port have been completely destroyed..."

"Okay...."Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua directly punched the table in front of him and shouted excitedly.

"Commander-in-Chief, next, it's time for our army to appear, right?" Chief of Staff Zuo Quan said expectantly.

"Tell Chen Geng that it's time to start acting. In addition, in order to ensure that the army units can receive accurate artillery strikes at any time during the entire landing process, Commander Chen, your navy cannot be idle. In this way, three destroyers and six gunboats will be immediately dispatched into the military port to provide accurate artillery strikes to the infantry at any time...."Liu Hua ordered with an expectant expression.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief..."

Amid a huge roar, the first wave of landing forces, led by three destroyers, finally appeared in the eyes of all Japanese troops in the military port.

Although most of the heavy weapons in the port were destroyed, more than 5,000 of the tens of thousands of defenders survived. And the only thing that the surviving 5,000 Japanese troops could do in the face of the harsh military law within the Japanese army was to scatter among the ruins, hold weapons, and quietly wait for the arrival of the landing force of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

"Here we go...."When the three destroyers were only two hundred meters away from the mooring. The hull of the destroyer, Nuoda, finally appeared clearly in the eyes of all the remnants of the Japanese army.

"Order the rest of the artillery to replace it with armor-piercing shells and give me a hard beat...even if I can't destroy the warship, I'll damage it and block it in the harbor....", the Japanese commander ordered with a grim face.

"Hayi...."

"All of them...."A series of dull cannon sounds rang out, and one after another hot shells flew directly out of the ruins, very accurately carrying the heavy armor of the destroyer....

Although these armor-piercing shells are sharp weapons for fighting tanks, the thick armor of warships is not comparable to tanks at all. With the explosion of the shells, in addition to blowing up white spots on the heavy equipment of the warship, not only did not have any results, but also angered the naval soldiers on the warship....

"Dog's day, small-caliber infantry guns dare to pull out and spread wild....comrades, let the little devils on the opposite side taste what a cannon is...."The warship was attacked, and the captain's face was instantly enveloped in anger. Commanded directly. ..., "In addition to the main gun, the rest of the secondary guns, give me a hard beating, and give me another artillery fire covering the ruins in front of me....machine guns, don't save me ammunition, all suspicious places, give me a hard sweep...."

"Yes, Captain...."

It took less than ten minutes for three destroyers and twenty-four large-caliber naval guns with a caliber of more than 100 mm to clear the ruins of the General Port once again with artillery fire. The final result directly led to the sharp reduction of the 5,000 Japanese army to 3,000.

"Inform the infantry behind to start landing, and all machine guns are responsible for providing fire cover..."Seeing that the Yokosu military harbor, which was completely covered in gunsmoke, the captain decisively ordered.

In less than ten minutes, three gunboats, carrying a whole infantry regiment, directly passed the destroyer and slowly headed for the berth of the military port.

"Bang bang bang...."

Three loud metal crashes sounded from the mooring, and three specially modified huge steel plates were placed directly between the gunboat deck and the port land. Before the remnants of the little devils in the port could react, an American medium assault tank spitting black smoke appeared directly on the steel plate....

"Boom...."The roar of the engine was mixed with the sound of crawlers and ground friction, and the tank, which weighed more than a dozen tons, drove into the military port in the blink of an eye, aiming the muzzle of the black hole at the ruins that were still shrouded in gunsmoke....

"Baga, it's a tank, the Chinese actually have tanks ....artillery, immediately open fire ... Death squads, immediately charge, destroy it ...."The order of the Japanese commander had just been given, and in the silent ruins, the sound of dense gunfire was again remembered. At the same time, dozens of little devils holding explosive bags and completely desperate for their lives jumped directly out of the rubble and rushed towards the tanks that were close at hand.

"Machine gun fire, covering the landing of infantry ...."

As soon as the captain's order was issued, nearly 100 large-caliber machine guns on the decks of the four destroyers fired a burst of dense bullets like rain....In the face of bullets with a caliber of 20 mm, or even 40 mm, the fragile body of the little devil, all those touched by the bullets, without exception, directly turned into a pile of minced meat....

In the blink of an eye, dozens of little devil daredevils all turned into a pile of corpses.
