The three Japanese gods had just taken off when a huge cloud of dust rose up in the block beneath their feet. Tons of earth and masonry were estimated to have been thrown into the air by the powerful explosion.

Tachibana could clearly see the color of the cloth mixed in the masonry, and she didn't dare to imagine what it was.

The residents around Miyakezaka's Royal Wizard Workshop must have been evacuated!

At this time, the voice of the Emperor Daigomori and Prince Aiko, who was in charge of the air command, came from the magic guide communication: "The Americans are planning to destroy our magic guide workshop!" They must have an observatory in the sky, and they are going to shoot it down! ”

The confrontation between the gods and goddesses may not be decided on the first day, according to the experience of the last war, the confrontation is often repeated, and when both sides are tired, they will fight again the next day, and gradually fight the gap in the long wheel war.

In this process, the logistics of the two gods are particularly important, and in the case of the state of the gods, the maintenance of the magic guide armor will often become the decisive point of the battle.

This also gives the side with the advantage of conventional force in the battle of the Divine Queen, who can use conventional force to disrupt the logistics of the enemy Divine Queen.

The American fleet, which has now broken through to the Gulf of Tonkin, apparently intends to do so.

Of course, the Japanese were also prepared, and they prepared several spare preparation sites in the defense circle of the capital, but almost all of these maintenance sites were within the range of American naval guns.

It was all the army's staff officers who were in charge of formulating the battle plan, and these people were too unaware of the power of naval artillery.

The second heavy shell fell, and from the position of Tachibana Qinli, the ground seemed to be water, and the front of the shock wave outlined by the sand and dust looked like ripples on the water. The dirt that had been thrown into the sky looked like a clump of sisal suddenly growing on the ground, and Qin Li saw a familiar sign mixed with flying bricks and dirt.

It's a sign of a mobile ramen stall that you often stop by the Magic Workshop, and Kotori went to eat at the ramen stall on the night she first came to Tokyo. The soup base used by the stall owner's grandfather was very authentic, which made Qin Li wonder if his low selling price could make back the cost, but the old man smiled and said that this should be regarded as supporting everyone who is fighting for the country.

When Jean Li went to the ramen stall for the second time, he saw a large group of apprentices gathered in front of the stall, laughing and eating noodles in a big gulp. Someone saw Qin Li, and when the technicians finished saluting Qin Lizheng, she gave up her plan to eat noodles in front of the stall like everyone else, and only asked for a takeaway.

It seems that no matter what the final outcome is, Jean Li will never be able to eat that cheap ramen again.

Qin Li looked to the ground, and the people were fleeing in terror. It seems that the previous propaganda had led to excessive trust in the fighting power of the Imperial Japanese Army, and many people did not heed the evacuation instructions.

The bitter fruits of the propaganda policy of the base camp have finally fallen on the people.

The third shell landed directly inside the walls of the Miyake Sho Maintenance Base, and the shock wave directly overturned the first Hokusha building of the base.

Qin Li knew that the school shooting was almost over, and the salvo of the main guns of the fleet was coming.

At this time, someone finally shouted in the magic communication: "I see the artillery observation plane of the Americans!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a beam of energy crossed the sky, and it seemed that the battle queen who saw the artillery observation plane fired directly. Qin Li didn't see the light of the explosion in the sky, and the beam of energy that swept through the field of vision disappeared directly behind the clouds.

Half a second later, the cheers of the firing battle queen were heard in the magic guide communication: "Hit!" Brush its wings and it's falling! ”

Before the words fell, the sky was filled with the shrill whistling sound of dense shells tearing through the air.

The next moment, a man-made "mountain range" appeared in the downtown area of Tokyo near the Imperial Palace, and the dust and debris kicked up by the explosion directly split the city in two, and it looked like someone had cut a gray scar in the city with a huge sword.

The devastating power could even be felt by Qin Li who was flying in the air.

She knew that Miyakesaka's maintenance center was finished, and the base would be paralyzed before the second round of shells fell.

At this time, His Royal Highness Aiko sent a communication: "I have found a fluctuation that is suspected to be an American god." ”

As soon as the communication came, Qin Li also found out. The Americans' gods must have been dispatched, but judging from the fluctuations, they had no intention of approaching the sky above the city of Tokyo guarded by the Japanese gods, and they only stayed in the sky above the huge fleet in Tokyo Bay, apparently intending to wait for the gunfire of the battleships to completely destroy the defenders' ability to prepare and replenish before attacking.

Although this approach is very inconsistent with the spirit of bushido, Qin Li has to admit that this is the most correct tactic, and if the positions of the two sides are reversed, Qin Li will make the same decision.

The shelling continued, and the situation in the city of Tokyo could only be described as shaking the ground, and as long as this horrific bombardment continued for another hour, the will of the military and civilians in Tokyo to resist was probably about to be broken.

At this time, Qin Li saw the magic armor of His Royal Highness Aiko flying towards her, and she hurriedly met it. His Royal Highness opened the observation window on the chest of the magic guide armor and said to Qin Li with a megaphone turned up to medium volume: "It seems that Miss Tachibana really said that the war is over if the American fleet is approaching the coast." Thanks to the fact that I listened so carefully to the explanations of the army generals' combat plans before, in the end it was useless, and the enemy's naval artillery could destroy all resistance. ”

"Your Highness, at the time of the last great war, the ground battlefield in Europe ......"

"I know that the guys in the army also said that on the ground battlefield in Europe, although the artillery has shown its devastating destructive ability, it still has not been able to break the deadlock on the battlefield, and the breakthrough still depends on the war girls. But apparently, no one in the European theater used this level of heavy artillery for bombardment. ”

That's right, the armies of various countries in the European theater of the last war have also tried to put naval heavy artillery into the battlefield, but the number is not large, and now on the sea of Tokyo Bay, although the US army has only invested half of the battleships, the number of heavy guns over 14 inches has exceeded 50.

Fortunately, in order to guard against the two giant ships of Nagato Mutsu, the three Colorado-class Americans' three Colorado-class ships were guarding the waters off Tokyo Bay, otherwise Tokyo would have become the first major city in the world to enjoy the baptism of 16-inch heavy guns.

Another round of naval guns fell, and in the earth-shattering explosion, Qin Li suddenly heard someone exclaiming: "Imperial Palace!" ”

She bowed her head with Prince Aiko, and sure enough, she saw that the entire imperial palace was shrouded in smoke and dust.

Qin Li immediately judged that there were probably two 14-inch shells that fell in the imperial palace, in the battleship artillery at this distance, this degree of error is nothing, and this error basically has little to do with the quality of the personnel, most of them are errors caused by the accuracy of the artillery itself, and occasionally a few shells fall outside the range of circular probability error, which are all crosswinds or other interference factors encountered during the flight.

"His Majesty the Emperor must have already retreated to the Eighth Prince's palace, right?" Tachibana asked Aiko.

But the latter shook his head: "My brother is unwilling to leave behind the soldiers and civilians in the struggle, and we don't listen to him no matter how we persuade him." ”

As soon as Qin Li wanted to speak, the voice of Aiko's henchman Zhan Ji Onuma Xin came from the magic guide communication: "Your Highness, I will go to confirm the safety of Your Majesty!" ”

Immediately afterward, Onuma Kokore, who had been flying not far from Aiko and Kotori, swooped down with her magic armor and rushed towards the Imperial Palace, which was still covered in smoke and dust.

"Heart!" Aiko shouted to his subordinates who were descending rapidly, "It's too dangerous! The next round of shelling is coming! ”

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely come back, I am the one who will get married in my hometown after this battle, I will never let my fiancé ......"

The sound of the cannonballs tearing through the air drowned out the girl's words, and then a new row of mountains made of rising dust appeared in the city of Tokyo, which had already been on fire, and the shock wave formed by the explosion instantly blew off the black plumes of smoke, and even blew out the scattered small fires around the place where the cannonballs landed.

After the deafening explosion faded, there was silence in Qin Li's ears, and there was no more word coming from the magic communication.

The next moment, His Royal Highness Aiko's heart-rending voice filled Qin Li's ears: "Heart! Heart, you answer me! ”

However, no matter how Her Royal Highness Aiko shouted, the war girl Onuma Koko, who grew up with her, never responded.

**

At dusk, the American fleet withdrew from Tokyo Bay - presumably fearing that the Japanese would have a chance to recover, they would take advantage of the complex hydrological conditions of Tokyo Bay to carry out night attacks.

Obviously, the Americans had full confidence in this war, and they firmly believed that if it was repeated a few times, Japan would obediently give in.

Since Miyakezaka's workshop had been completely destroyed, Kotori moved to the reserve base of Hachioji, and when he arrived at the base, he learned that His Majesty the Emperor Komichi had arrived here unharmed - that is, the attendants of His Royal Highness Aiko had lost their lives in vain.

Standing on the guard tower of Hachioji Workshop, Kotori overlooks the direction of downtown Tokyo.

The glow of the skyrocketing fire overshadowed the light of the setting sun, and it looked as if the entire sky was burning.

During the daytime battle, Her Royal Highness Aiko did not make up her mind to assault the American goddess in the sky above the American fleet. In fact, like this, the gods of both sides fly up and stare at each other in the sky, which is also a form of god queen battle, after all, as long as the gods of both sides fly, they are consuming mental power, and there is only a difference in strength between the fight - but in this way, both sides will not suffer losses, nor will they have an advantage, but it is also a relatively fair, less variable and less risky way of "duel".

However, anyone can see that if this kind of exhaustion continues, Japan will definitely lose. The Americans will definitely use naval artillery to wipe out all the places where the Japanese Shenji took off, completely destroying the logistics capabilities of the Japanese.

Qin Li sighed, and at this moment, she saw a group of war girls in naval uniforms marching into the Hachioji base.
