After nightfall, the military port of Huludao, including the main urban area, was all in a state of imminent battle, the people were all evacuated, and the three batteries around the port were ready for battle.

Shen Honglie personally sat in command, the whole air seemed to be frozen, since he got Tang Junyao's telegram, Shen Honglie was also shocked into a cold sweat, the Japanese really launched an attack on the Feng army during the Dragon Boat Festival, if it wasn't for the marshal and wise, and prepared to deal with it in advance, otherwise the Feng army would definitely suffer heavy losses, and the navy would have lost everything.

Thinking of this, Shen Honglie became more and more angry, no matter what, he had to give the Japanese a little color to see, so that they could taste the real bitterness.

"Commander, the Japanese fleet is coming, and a destroyer has just hit a mine." Chen Jiliang hurriedly came over to report the situation.

Shen Honglie sneered and said: "In the end, it's here, notify all batteries and warships, and respond to the battle immediately!" ”

In fact, there was no need for Shen Honglie to give an order, the battle had already begun, and the Japanese warships had already begun to shoot at the port. On the vast sea, the battleship fired a salvo, and the huge fire from the muzzle of the gun illuminated the sea.

One shell after another fell near the port, causing astonishing consequences, one by one dozens of meters in a radius of craters, hideous and terrifying, the port facilities of the Feng army were constantly damaged in the shelling, if it was not for the evacuation of personnel in advance, I simply do not know how much to lose.

Everywhere there was flames, everywhere there was gunsmoke, which filled the entire port area. For these losses, the hearts of the Feng army were also dripping blood, and the attention of the soldiers on the battery was focused on the warship at sea, and through the fire of the shelling, they could clearly see the outline of the warship.

With the target to aim, the security artillery also began to exert its might, as early as when Huludao was determined to be the base camp of the navy. Zhang Tinglan spared no effort to build this sea base.

The Feng army built a total of three large batteries, the largest of which was located in the east of the military port, and four 280 mm shore defense guns were arranged, these four guns were not produced by the Feng army, but the artillery of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the empire collapsed into several parts, and the Feng army fished in troubled waters, taking advantage of the chaos to transport out a few heavy artillery, all of which were placed in Huludao.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The four guns began to roar, and the shells fell on the sea. A huge column of water was set off. Chen Jiliang personally sat in the fort to command, his fists were clenched tightly, and every time he fired a cannon, he couldn't stop cheering.

"It's close, it's close. The next shot is ......"

Chen Jiliang was sweating and shouted anxiously. These four cannons are among the fire prevention cannons. The caliber is the largest, and it is also the most performant. Although the Feng army is already studying the large-caliber artillery of the navy, it has not really broken through the key jishu, so it can only hope that these four guns will make a contribution.

Hit!

When Chen Jiliang was anxious, someone suddenly shouted, and he hurriedly took the telescope to look. I saw a Japanese destroyer suddenly burst into a huge fireball, the fire was particularly dazzling, as if I could see the Japanese in embarrassment, scrambling to jump into the water to escape. Chen Jiliang was also very happy.

The only problem was that the shell didn't seem to have come from their battery, but from another battery. Chen Jiliang also widened his eyes, and said loudly: "It's all aimed at Lao Tzu, if you don't hit it again, you will go to clean the toilet for a year!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a fire in the distance, and he was hit!

Chen Jiliang was immediately ecstatic, and it seemed that he was still a big guy this time, but he didn't see which warship he hit clearly, and he was a little regretful.

Chen Jiliang didn't know that it was the Nagato, the pride of the Great Japanese Empire, that was hit by them. Takeshita Yong commanded the fleet, and the killing was violent, he didn't expect to encounter a mine array, the battleship had no way to really get close to the port, and the small-caliber artillery couldn't be used, which made him a little crazy.

Isamu Takeshita had to be ruthless, he tried to get the Nagato as close as possible, and then used the 410mm main gun to attack Hulujima. Of course, this kind of super main gun, every time a shell is fired, it will hit real money, if it can't hit any valuable targets, it will be a loss.

However, just as Takeshita was preparing, the shore defense guns of the Feng army suddenly greeted the Nagato, and a 280-mm shell hit the main turret. Although the turret with 356 mm heavy armor defense withstood the shelling, it was not easy, and several Japanese sailors were directly blown to pieces, and a large fire broke out on the battleship.

"Yaga, aim for me and shoot!"

The Nagato is a Japanese treasure, and this is the first time he has played in battle, and once he is damaged, he can't explain it at all. Therefore, after receiving a shot, Takeshita went completely crazy, and the main guns of the Nagato and Ise were also used.

With the help of the fire of the explosion, they were basically able to determine the target, and a huge cannonball was fired, the damage brought by this super artillery was indescribable, and a cannon went down, hundreds of meters around, all became a no-man's land, and any building was destroyed, and the power was simply incomparable.

Each salvo caused a huge shock to the Feng army, some shells fell directly into the city, and a lot of houses were reduced to nothing, and Huludao suffered an unprecedented catastrophe.

Another loud bang exploded not far from the fort, Chen Jiliang felt like he was on a roller coaster, and the huge explosion fluctuations made him feel like he was on a roller coaster, his body fell to the ground, and his head was bleeding. Of course, there were soldiers who were even worse than him, and after the huge explosion, they were directly shocked and bled and died on the position.

Chen Jiliang barely got up from the ground, his ears were full of buzzing sounds, so he opened his mouth and shouted a few words with all his might, but he couldn't hear a sound at all.

The other surviving soldiers did the same, but they didn't give up in the slightest, and got up from the ground, some still having blood in their ears. The fury of revenge swelled in his chest, and one shell after another was fired.

Chen Jiliang personally handled the knife, and a cannonball shot out, almost a little, and missed!

He was a little frustrated, but suddenly, a ball of fire suddenly erupted from the middle of the warship. It's a near miss! For a warship, this is comparable to a direct hit. The damage was even greater, Chen Jiliang suddenly cheered up and began to choose the next target.

At this time, the shelling of the Japanese fleet on the sea began to weaken, the fire on the sea became less and less, and the guidance was lost, and the Feng army could not aim for a while. In fact, after two or three hours of artillery fighting, Takeshita's head also sobered up.

The Feng army was not as unguarded as imagined, but was well prepared, and used warships to return the fire to the shore. That in itself is an unwise thing to do. Especially during this time, a destroyer and a frigate hit a mine, one was hit and has sunk. Another cruiser was hit, also wounded. The Nagato was also hit by a shell.

After the loss of these warships, the defense capability of the Japanese fleet was already seriously reduced. In the event of another submarine attack. Maybe there will be a big basket, the Japanese don't dare to take this risk, and seeing that Huludao has fallen into a sea of fire, and the port has been bombed, Takeshita Isamu is ready to withdraw.

Shen Honglie, who was in charge of the command, also discovered this situation, and it was easy to come. It's hard to walk! If these warships were allowed to withdraw with a swagger, they would be sorry for the brothers who died in battle.

Just as the Japanese were gradually retreating, a dozen torpedo boats of the Feng army were ready to attack and gave an order. These dinghys shot out like arrows off the string. With a beautiful splash of water, holding a small boat of less than a hundred tons, it rushed towards the Japanese fleet.

Don't look at these torpedo boats as inconspicuous, once bitten by them, they are absolutely fatal. The Japanese also spotted these little things, and they hurriedly opened fire on the torpedo boats, trying to sink them. However, these soldiers were also well-trained, and they took a zigzag route, dodging the incoming shells, and approached the Japanese quickly.

Boom, a small boat was hit by a cannonball, and suddenly turned into a ball of fireball, and quickly disappeared into the sea. Boom, another torpedo boat sank. Seeing that their companions were sunk, the other torpedo boats had no fear, only the courage to sacrifice their lives.

Gradually, it got closer and closer, from five thousand meters, to three thousand meters, and then to one thousand meters......

Finally entering the firing range of the torpedo boat, the two torpedoes were fired almost at the same time, and the small boat that had completed the attack quickly turned, drew a graceful arc on the sea, and fled back for its life.

In addition to the few small boats lost, a total of 12 small boats fired torpedoes at the Japanese fleet, and after the torpedoes were fired, three of them were too fast to turn around, rushed to the vicinity of the Japanese warships, and were broken into pieces, and one of them also crashed into the rear of a warship, damaging the stern.

Of the sixteen torpedo boats that attacked, only nine of Zuihou returned unscathed, which was definitely an attack with staggering losses, but again, their results were also amazing, and the damaged light cruiser was torpedoed and sank to the bottom of the sea.

In addition, a heavy cruiser was damaged, and the most fatal thing was that the Nagato was also torpedoed, the oil depot was hit, and thousands of tons of heavy oil flowed to the sea, forming an obvious oil stain. Moreover, due to the damage to the hull and the entry of seawater, the speed of the ship dropped significantly, and he could only escape in embarrassment under the escort of other warships.

The pride of this Japanese ship, just after the battle, fell into such a situation, Takeshita Yong's heart was cold, if the Nagato also followed in the footsteps of the Kongo, this is not as simple as one or two people disemboweling, it is simply a disaster for the Japanese Navy.

And at this time, the eastern sky also showed a glimmer of dawn, seeing that the sky was about to dawn, if the Feng army dispatched planes to attack the battleship, it would be a tragedy, in addition to the plane, there were also those nasty submarines, when I thought of these, Takeshita's mind was completely blank.

He estimated that with the fuel and state of the Nagato, it would be difficult to return to the Japanese mainland, and it would have to be replenished, so he could only cry and report the situation to Tokyo truthfully and ask for instructions from Tokyo.

Since they launched an artillery bombardment on Huludao, the Feng army urgently issued a telegram announcing that due to Japan's sabotage of the peace talks, the Feng army would take all necessary measures to retaliate against Japan!

With the telegram of the Feng army, the submarines active between the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea finally played their role, and in one night, three merchant ships bound for Japan and Korea were attacked, and thousands of tons of cargo were sunk to the bottom of the sea.

What's even worse is that a submarine actually appeared in the Tsushima Strait, a water area that the Feng army had never seen before, this submarine sank a munitions transport ship, and twenty large-caliber heavy guns sank into the sea. These heavy artillery pieces were the hope of the Japanese Army to increase its firepower, and now that they are all over, the Japanese Army, which is not rich, has the urge to vomit blood.

The Tsushima Strait is no longer safe, and the next step is the Japanese archipelago, and the Feng army declares that it will take all measures, which makes the Japanese think of a very terrible term, that is, unlimited submarine warfare. In World War I, the British suffered the loss of unlimited submarine warfare, the British Isles were almost strangled to death by the Germans, Japan did not have the size of the British Empire, and once it was also subjected to unlimited submarine warfare, the consequences were simply unimaginable.

At this time, they got the news that the Nagato was injured again, and the Japanese cabinet was stunned, how could their dream battleship be injured, this is simply a big joke. They sent a telegram and inquired three times before they confirmed the news, and the Japanese government was immediately stunned, they must do everything they can to keep the Nagato, and they must not let the pride of Japan go wrong at all!

The Japanese government was paying attention to the Nagato, but Zhang Tinglan was attracted to something else at this time, that is, an anti-submarine ship.

After the torpedo boat attack, one of the warships lost power and remained on the surface of the sea, and after the Feng army found out, they immediately sent several warships to surround the ship, which was only more than 1,000 tons, which was not very large. But it's a good thing to be able to capture a battleship.

But when he really boarded this warship, Shen Honglie felt that something was wrong, the layout of this warship was quite different from that of the Japanese, and when he was puzzled, a soldier suddenly reported that they had found special equipment on the warship.

Shen Honglie hurriedly went to check, and the result surprised him that there was an anti-submarine sonar on this warship. According to Fengjun's intelligence, the Japanese did not have this thing, and only the British developed sonar on Shijie. Thinking of this, Shen Honglie also felt that the problem was serious, and hurriedly reported the situation to Zhang Tinglan.

"When an empire is victorious, yin and yang are balanced, but once it weakens, it is yin energy that is heavier than yang energy, just like Britain, a hegemon who has begun to fall, his stomach is full of bad water, and this anti-submarine ship is definitely given to Japan by the British." Zhang Tinglan knocked on the table and said slowly.

"Clumsy words, what do you think should be done?"

Zhang Tinglan sneered slightly: "Since you dare to come in, you must have the consciousness of being cut off, and the British Empire is no exception!" (To be continued......)
