Chapter 107: The Burning Military Port (Second Update)

The piercing sirens had just sounded in the port of Sasebo, and the twenty-one warships of the Second Fleet also roared.

The deafening sound of cannon resounded throughout the bay, the fire of the muzzle of the cannon glittered the sea, and the tracer of the cannonball streaked across the sky.

The entire Sasebo port was suddenly in chaos, and the merciless shells fell, and the flames of the violent explosion flooded the entire port in an instant.

The battleship's terrible main guns exploded in the harbor, and warehouses and buildings were destroyed in the violent explosion, and flames and smoke engulfed all sides.

A large number of port workers and Japanese soldiers who were running were torn apart by the merciless explosion, the huge power and high temperature of the explosion easily tore apart and vaporized the fragile body of human beings, and the shock wave and oscillation killed and injured, easily making the fragile body bleed inside, and when the body was swept away by the waves of the explosion, it was already a corpse that fell.

A 355-mm anti-personnel shell will definitely damage a radius of more than 300 meters, and those who have no time to lie down will be shocked to death even if they are not directly killed in this range.

Get closer, the terrible waves spread, and people are like leaves blown by the wind, often flying out for tens of meters, and then slamming down on the ground.

The harbor was covered with merciless artillery fire, and the ships that stayed in the harbor were also destroyed and sunk one by one by the small-caliber artillery of the Second Fleet.

The port of Sasebo, which was not properly defended at all, was exposed as one of the best shooting ranges.

The fleet's artillery attacks, one after another, had no intention of stopping, and the panicked port workers and Japanese soldiers ran around like headless flies, fleeing indiscriminately, instinctively wanting to escape from this purgatory that seemed to be the Shura field.

The Japanese Army camp behind Sasebo Port was also in chaos, and the Second Fleet's firepower was not just attacking the port.

The entire Second Fleet, three battleships, six cruisers, twelve destroyers, the sum of the main and secondary guns, and hundreds of guns, is a terrible number that the current Sasebo naval base cannot bear.

Not to mention the 355 main guns that exploded in one large area, not to mention the 254 mm main guns on the cruisers, even the 175 mm main guns of each destroyer and the secondary guns of each ship, their firepower density and intensity have exceeded all the artillery fire put into the Vladivostok battlefield by the Japanese Third Army.

You must know that the rate of fire of naval guns is not comparable to that of army artillery, and the stable output of artillery fire far exceeds the rapid fire of army field artillery, and the firepower of a destroyer is comparable to the intensity of artillery fire of an artillery regiment.

Under the attack of this powerful firepower, Sasebo, which was sandwiched between the mountains on both sides, became a basin of death.

You don't need to deliberately aim for it, and you can make the Japanese in Sasebo suffer heavy losses.

And now, the four artillery balloons of the First Army float in front of and behind Sasebo, and with the help of fire and map coordinates, they can also provide artillery guidance for the fleet.

The fleet's selective shelling and correction of ballistics greatly enhanced the lethality of artillery fire, which was incomparable to the lethal effect of artillery fire during blind fire.

At the time when the Second Fleet poured artillery fire on Sasebo, the two field artillery brigades of the First Army, one field howitzer, were also hungry. Thirsty.

The artillery positions on both sides, which had been built in three hours, and a total of 18 field artillery battalions under the jurisdiction of the two artillery brigades, were also actively preparing for artillery.

On the artillery positions on both sides of the simple construction, a total of more than 300 guns roared at the same time.

Among these guns, nearly half of the 105mm howitzers were excitedly joined in the shelling of the port of Sasebo, mainly covering the camps of the three reserve divisions of the Japanese Army.

If it weren't for the fact that these artillery positions were on the edge of the chrono portal, more than a hundred 105 howitzers would not have been able to carry them to the top of these hills.

If Sasebo is successfully captured, it will take at least ten days to transport these guns under normal circumstances.

However, the Red Guard Corps is not worried about this problem, as long as Sasebo does not need the cover of these artillery fire, as long as he pushes these cannons back to the other side of the chrono portal, and then teleports again, and chooses to be on the side of a certain road where the chrono portal is located, these cannons can come down from the mountain without much effort.

This kind of behavior is completely cheating, which makes it very easy for some soldiers who were originally a waste of time.

Otherwise, the First Army would never have put these 105 howitzers, which weighed more than a dozen tons, on the tops of these mountains, where there were no mountain roads.

In Sasebo, there were fires burning everywhere, and although Japan was able to produce cement at this time, the production was not high, and most of the buildings at the Sasebo naval base were still wooden structures, especially those huge warehouses and temporary barracks.

The terrible firepower of the Second Fleet, coupled with the powerful firepower of the two field artillery brigades, Sasebo was as if it had been hit violently by a thousand guns, and the Sasebo naval base, which was only a few kilometers long and wide, was soon full of exploding shells.

Dense artillery fire, covering almost every corner of Sasebo.

Sasebo, which has no trenches, no bunkers, and most of them are wooden buildings, let alone people, is the rats in Sasebo, and I am afraid that they will be extinct under several rounds of artillery fire.

However, the relentless artillery fire did not stop, whether it was the Second Fleet or the First Army, all the shells were as if they didn't want money, they were full of willfulness, and they didn't look at the entire Sasebo, which was all devoured by artillery, and still smashed the shells on Sasebo, which was already riddled with holes.

With the existence of the chrono portal, the Red Guard Corps is not worried about supply at all, and the most willing thing for the Red Guard Corps is to waste ammunition.

If you can kill an enemy with a cannonball, you will never choose to attack with a bullet.

For Fan Yize, artillery shells are worthless, and with the current productivity of the Red Police base vehicles, even if the three major fleets of the Navy and the army consume hard, the production capacity of the base can be easily satisfied.

What's more, Fan Yize would rather waste a hundred tons of shells than see a needless dead and wounded soldier.

To be able to solve the war with shells, there is no need to attack with soldiers.

The Red Guard Corps, which implemented this concept, was able to attack the port of Sasebo, and the entire Second Fleet came to support it.

After all, there were 100,000 Japanese soldiers in the port of Sasebo, and even a reserve that had undergone about a year of training was very threatening.

At this moment, Major General Shen Hao, commander of the First Group Army, looked at Sasebo below, lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said to a brigadier general beside him: "The 11th Field Division is ready to go down to harvest corn. ”
