Less than an hour after Sasaki's brigade completely disappeared, on the top of the three mountains near the old iron mountain, in the three strange buildings like the half-dome of the observatory, those long huge pipes sticking out were certainly not astronomical telescopes;

After a whimpering sound came from the deep blue muzzle of the vanguard cannon, one of the barrels shrank suddenly, and a pale golden cannonball whizzed away from the barrel with a rotating high speed.

"Captain, it is estimated that we will enter the farthest artillery position in half an hour, are you going to shell Yingkou?" In the heavy patrol of the Ancient Eagle, a young man asked for instructions with a big one.

This Osa is the captain of the Furutaka Heavy Cruiser, Jiro Saito, this guy is wearing a snow-white and straight Navy Osa uniform, he is standing on the porthole of the bridge looking at the sea that has been broken by the bow, and there are no other ships in sight for dozens of miles on the rippling blue sea, he sneered and said in a deep voice:

"Order, all artillery positions are ready to load, enter the shelling area and carry out saturation shelling according to the designated position, and send a report to the military headquarters of the Kwantung Army that we are about to arrive in the waters near the Port of Arthur, and we will recapture the Port of Arthur with the glory of the Navy."

"Hey."

"Bang ......."

As the Shao Zuo replied in a deep voice, a loud muffled sound came in mid-air, and Shao Zuo and Jiro Saito stared at the cloudless blue sky with their eyes, and their faces changed and they both rushed out of the bridge.

"Woo ......"

A few seconds later, a whimper came from the distant sky, and Saito Kanji looked at the cloud of smoke in the sky with a telescope but didn't see anything famous.

"It sounded like shelling." Jiro Saito said in shock.

He was amazed that the towering bridge and the observation post on the mast could see the battleship at least thirty nautical miles on a clear day, but there were no warships around at this time. What was the deal with that explosion in the air and that ballistic sound that clearly delayed the explosion of the shelling?

"Urgently send a report, there is an unknown enemy ahead, the situation is unknown." Jiro Saito roared a little frantically.

As a naval commander. He will report the unknown enemy situation as soon as possible, and that is also to avoid no one knowing about the accident on the battleship.

Just as he was yelling, the battleship was suddenly lifted up by something, and the bow of the ship was several meters high, and then it fell sharply.

"Boom!"

The loud sound of the explosion caused a string of blood to flow from the ears, eyes, nose and ears of the soldiers who had been thrown to the ground on the deck of the Aquila, and the unprepared helmsman swooped forward one by one, and before he could fix his body, his entire abdomen was pierced by the helm handle.

How powerful are the explosive projectiles fired by the Xianfeng Cannon? The two hundred kilograms of armor-piercing warhead, loaded with black sorkin explosives, had just entered the warship by entering the waterline at the bow of the ship. The violent explosion instantly opened a huge hole with a diameter of more than six meters under the belly of the Furutaka, and as the bow fell, more than ten tons of seawater per second began to rush violently into the battleship.

Such a large hole appears. Coupled with the huge impact force just now, hundreds of tons of seawater spread to the middle of the battleship before the watertight compartment inside the battleship could play a role.

Jiro Saito, who was knocked to the ground by the explosion, was already in disarray at this time, and the beautiful military hat didn't know where to go, and that Shao Zuo was even more unlucky. He was about to rush to the confidential room to deliver a report. The impact of the explosion made his head rush into the middle of the staircase railing on the side, and his originally round head was instantly squeezed into a red persimmon.

The battleship began to tilt in less than thirty seconds, and when Jiro Saito was about to shout something, another cannonball rushed from a high altitude and plunged into the No. 1 and No. 2 batteries of the Aquila at a speed of more than 1,800 meters per second.

"Boom ......"

The shells exploded at the bottom of the cabin with a frightening sound, and the keel of the battleship had been blown in two at the bilge of the Furutaka, which was unseen. With a creak, the Eagle's ends began to snap in a V-shape.

"The Furutaka is finished......"

Jiro Saito clung to the escalator. Letting the countless debris begin to roll down as the battleship snapped, he stared blankly at the battleship that began to sink as it folded, his mouth trembling slightly as he looked at the soldiers who kept jumping into the ocean.

"Boom... Boom ......"

The third shell fell more than ten seconds later, and this shell hit the ammunition depot just right, and with a loud noise, the battleship, which had already filled half of the ship's cabin water, suddenly jumped on the surface of the sea, twisted and sank completely to the bottom of the sea with several tangled whirlpools in ten seconds.

"Radar confirms that the target of the attack has disappeared." At the top of Lao Tie Mountain, the guards who could no longer see the huge figure of the Ancient Eagle from the radar screen began to report to Xu Fei.

"It only took one minute and thirty-five seconds from the first electromagnetic interference cannon to the sinking of the enemy ship, it seems that this battleship should have been broken into many knots, otherwise it would take at least ten minutes for a battleship to sink, which is good;

The radar pays attention to monitoring the surrounding sea and the sky, and when our planes are successfully tested, they can conduct visual reconnaissance of that sea area, and this kind of thing of using radar to lock on to confirm the enemy's warships is not so safe. Xu Fei stood on the top of the mountain and said lightly.

If someone saw Xu Fei at this time, they would definitely suspect that he had fallen into some evil when they saw him constantly talking to himself.

The Devil's Ancient Eagle Heavy Cruiser sank 40 nautical miles outside the Port of Arthur, which was supposed to have sunk the seabed during the bombardment of the U.S.-occupied Guadalcanal airport in 42, but this time it completed its historic mission eight years ahead of schedule and became a pile of scrap metal on the bottom of the sea.

Half an hour after the heavy patrol of the Furutaka sank, the light patrol of the Tenryu that was captured by the exterminated Japanese army finally arrived at the scene, and after sending more than 20 lifeboats to search around for a long time, they were able to confirm that there was no longer life in the floating objects before leaving the area.

"What? The Ancient Eagle lost contact with the re-patrol? What the hell is going on? Is there any news from the military department? And what about the Admiralty? ”

A series of anxious inquiries came out of a truck that was urgently parked on the side of the road, and the angry face of the innocent Tanijiro, who was hurrying before it was dark, almost startled the devils who walked in front of the car at this time.

"Yes, Your Excellency Brigade Commander, the news from the military headquarters that the Heavy Patrol of the Ancient Eagle was completely lost at 1:50 p.m. this afternoon, and the battleship was still forty nautical miles away from Port Arthur when contact was lost;

According to the calculation of the two 150 cannon guns in the Arthur fortress, the longest range is only 26 kilometers, and it is impossible to hit the battleship.

The military headquarters ordered that the 10th Infantry Brigade still take two divisions of the Imperial Association Army to recover Dalian and Arthur Military Port, saying that when the time comes, as long as the warships are sent to inspect the road, they will know what is going on. The communications soldier explained loudly with a telegram. (To be continued......)
