The attack on the Yokosuka military port also woke the entire military port from its deep sleep, and the Japanese defenders in the six forts, when they woke up as soon as they woke up, often trained everyone to do what they were going to do immediately.

Dozens of Japanese soldiers were stationed at each battery 24 hours a day, especially in the year of the war with Russia, and regular exercises and assault training were carried out so that the Japanese soldiers in the battery could prepare to return fire in an orderly manner.

It only takes five minutes for the battery, awakened by the sound of artillery, to be able to carry out its first counterattack.

On the rail cart in the turret, seven or eight soldiers pushed two shells together, and in the turret, the telescope also quickly searched for targets on the sea.

However, the bay blocked by dense fog could not be seen at all, unless the enemy carried out another artillery bombardment, and the position of the attackers could only be seen according to the fire from the muzzles.

On the sea, the three Dreadnought 1st class battleships that had completed the first round of attacks were not in a hurry to carry out the second round of shelling, and according to the visibility of the dense fog at sea, the Japanese, who were awakened, could not see the warships at a distance of six thousand meters.

Yokosuka's battery will not run away on long legs, and the distance between the impact point of the first round of shelling and the battery has been accurately fed back to the warship's combat center.

The gunnery officer readjusted the elevation and azimuth of the guns, and three battleships, each with two main guns, aimed at one battery at the same time.

The second round of shelling, three minutes later, resounded again with a roar from the bay.

The whistling cannonballs, dragging tracer light across the sky, fell like meteors from the sky, heading straight for the six batteries around Yokosuka.

The Japanese defenders in the Yokosuka Battery, followed by the light of the naval shelling, determined the approximate location of the target.

The officer commanding the battery hurriedly shouted to instruct the turret to adjust the firing of Zhu Yuan, the bore shells were loaded, and the Japanese soldier who wrote quickly adjusted the angle of the gun.

Fort No. 6, the closest one to Yokosuka Bay, roared violently, and the cannon was discharged, heading towards the sea in the distance.

A group of Japanese with their necks stretched out, waiting for the results of the shells falling, but the Japanese defenders on battery No. 6 did not have a chance to know the results of the shelling.

The shells falling from the sky destroyed the howitzer battery in an instant, and the violent explosion directly smashed the reinforced concrete bunker of the battery, and even cut off a layer of the mountain.

Four shells fell one after another, and although none of them accurately hit the guns of the battery, the huge explosion power and lethality were enough to blow the battery to pieces.

In the main body of the turret that was blown away by the explosion, a thick cannon barrel was blown out, and the complete barrel was lifted by the huge impact force, tumbling from the top of the hill to the sea of the cliff below.

Of the other five batteries, No. 3 and No. 5, were also destroyed by powerful gunboats, although the No. 5 battery was not completely destroyed, but the barrels that were blown up and most of the defenders in the battery were dead also made this battery lose the ability to resist.

The remaining three batteries, all of which were lucky, although there were injuries, they still had the ability to fight back.

The Red Alert soldiers in the distance continued to provide the fleet with the parameters for correcting the shelling, and the counterattack of the Yokosuka battery also exploded on the sea.

These forts, which have been built one after another over the past ten years, and the Japanese defenders who have been preparing for war for a long time, have good combat effectiveness, and although none of the shells that counterattacked caused damage to the Red Alert Navy, the impact points of the bullets were all within 100 meters of the warship.

If the battery is given a second chance to counterattack, the corrected trajectory will also pose a huge threat to the battleship.

However, compared to the turtle speed of the Yokosuka battery, the third round of shelling of the three dreadnought first class battleships roared again, and this time the more intensive fire fell on the three remaining batteries of Yokosuka.

Violent explosions, splattering rubble from kilometers away, turned six of Yokosuka's most powerful batteries into ruins.

The ferocious naval guns, which were already not inferior to the lethality and power of the shore guns, the higher rate of fire, coupled with the sudden attack, and the help of the dense fog on the sea, it was not surprising that Yokosuka's defensive batteries were destroyed so easily.

In fact, if it weren't for the reinforced concrete technology and protection concept of this period, which was still very backward, the Third Fleet would not have won so easily.

In addition, there are still the eyes of the Third Fleet in Yokosuka, and the accuracy and firepower superiority of the Third Fleet, the Japanese defenders in Yokosuka are not unjustly defeated at all.

The destruction of six batteries capable of threatening the battleship, Yokosuka is like a girl who has been torn through all defenses, and the next thing is to ravage hard. .

All the main warships of the Third Fleet readjusted the targets of their shelling, aiming at the naval yards, naval colleges, and barracks in Yokosuka.

The violent explosion quickly plunged the Yokosuka Naval Yard into a boundless sea of fire, using anti-personnel grenade warheads, with a killing range of hundreds of meters, and when a shell came down, the whole earth trembled. Shake, the shock wave of the explosion easily lifted the person away.

More than 20,000 Japanese were quickly covered by dense artillery fire, shipyards and colleges were completely engulfed by the explosion, hundreds of lives were killed in the explosion, and everywhere was a mess.

The terrifying power of naval artillery is unstoppable.

The terrible fire spread in Yokosuka, and a large number of shells continued to fall in the sky, and the fierce shelling fire on the sea in the distance lasted for half an hour.

When there was no intact land in sight in all of Yokosuka, the sea calmed down.

From beginning to end, no one in Yokosuka clearly saw the identity of the attacker, and the only thing that was certain was that the intensity and density of the attacker's firepower exceeded the overall firepower of the Japanese Combined Fleet.

At this time, the Japanese Admiralty Yamamoto Gonbei was resting at the headquarters of the Tokyo Bay Fortress in Yokosuka, and he had arrived in Yokosuka today to inspect the preparations for the last batch of supplies for the Combined Fleet.

As a result, he didn't expect that when he encountered such a thing, and the Tokyo Bay Fortress Command was not within the range of naval guns, Yokosuka was attacked by naval guns, and Yamamoto Gonbei hurriedly came out of the room, and he could only see Yokosuka burning red half of the sky in the distance.

This real power figure in the Navy and even the Japanese Cabinet almost collapsed in his heart at this moment, and if he hadn't held the corner with one hand, he would have almost been unstable.

The attack on Yokosuka seemed nothing to him, and what was truly terrifying was that the Combined Fleet had not heard from him for several days, and the enemy had already entered Tokyo Bay.
