Chapter 19 The Great Landing on the River

Suddenly, Gunpowder saw a cloud of smoke coming out of the gun muzzle of the enemy battleship, followed by a scream as if it was about to puncture the eardrum, and then there was a loud bang, and a large crater with a diameter of 10 meters was blown out on the beach more than 150 meters in front of him.

The battleship's famous 510mm guns failed to play to their advantages in previous battles, and this time in the landing battle, its tremendous power was finally fully displayed. Gunpowder knew that the other party was correcting the trajectory, and he just wanted to open his mouth to remind the soldiers on the ballistic line to pay attention to concealment, but he opened his mouth but couldn't say anything, according to the power of this main gun, the air-raid shelter they dug did not play any role at all, and the reminder was also in vain. Only taking out that battleship in the quickest possible time is king.

Thinking of this, he picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted, "Railgun, kill that battleship for me." ”

Soon, the other party's voice came out: "Report to the chief, the distance is too far, the chance of hitting is too low, at least wait for them to get closer to 5 kilometers." ”

Although the effective range of the railgun is 60 km, the premise is that you can hit it well. The effective firing range of the battleship's giant guns is 20 kilometers, while the actual aiming distance of the railguns is only 15 kilometers, and these 5 kilometers are the range of being beaten, and the losses that must be borne must be borne.

Gunpowder slammed the table hard, and said to the walkie-talkie again: "Shore-based missile preparation, against that battleship, hit me." ”

Several missiles flew out, the opponent's close-in defense guns opened fire en masse, and the missiles were smashed into pieces in the volley, and gunpowder saw this situation and slammed the walkie-talkie onto the table. The redwoods on the side hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, the distance is too close, and it is about to enter the blind spot of the missile's range, and it is normal to be shot down." Wait for them to get closer, knock out their battleship with railguns, and the rest is a dish, no pressure. ”

Gunpowder nodded with an ugly face, and at this time, the main guns of the Japanese battleship opened fire again, this time only 20 meters from the defensive line. The fortifications of the defensive line were covered with shrapnel, and pieces of concrete fell straight down.

The face of gunpowder shook violently as the shell fell, and he knew that the trajectory of the Japanese country should have been corrected, and the next shot should fall on the defensive line. Although he had known for a long time that there would be a great loss, when he really faced it, his heart still hurt like a pinprick. In order to prevent the new recruits from fleeing due to lack of combat experience, he threw almost all the veterans and all the armored troops into the defensive line.

Immediately after, there were four loud bangs, and the earth shook violently as if it had been earthquaked, and the gunpowder that had been sitting on the chair was shaken to the ground. When he stood up and looked at it, he was about to scold when he was angry, only to see that the front end of the defense line had broken four big openings, which were the result of the destruction of the main guns of the opponent's battleship.

The main guns of the other battleships also opened fire one after another, and the front line was suddenly filled with gunsmoke, and shells fell on the positions, splashing dust and smoke in the sky. The heavy artillery of the coastal defense front also began to fire back, but since the Japanese fleet had not yet entered their effective range, the accuracy was slightly worse. But there were still a few veteran gunners who accurately hit the opponent's battleship, bursting into flames.

The artillery battle lasted almost 20 minutes, and since their ships were not close at 20 kilometers, the battle was almost pressed by them, and the whole position was completely devastated by them. Finally, one of the opposing destroyers began to sink slowly after being attacked by six heavy shells in succession. Yamamoto Kazumoku could no longer afford such losses and began to order the marines to rush to the beach and land.

Under the cover of the fierce fire from the battleship's main guns, more than 30 rubber speedboats were lowered, and more than 600 marines braved the artillery fire in the speedboats to quickly charge the coastline.

When Gunpowder saw this situation, he sneered: "Hmph, is it finally here?" I've waited so long, I've broken so many people, and I'm finally waiting for you little devils. ”

The rubber assault boats were extremely fast, and they arrived in less than 10 minutes after 20 kilometers. The group of marines was indeed elite, and quickly set up their heavy machine guns, and then began to seize the beach. After paying the price of more than 50 casualties, the Japanese Marines finally broke through to a position 50 meters away from the defensive line.

Seeing that a single charge could take down the line, suddenly, there was a loud rumbling sound from both sides of the artillery array, and one after another the tanks came out of the bunker, and the artillery fire was accompanied by the heavy machine guns on the top of the tanks. The Marines of the Wa Kingdom fell down in rows like wheat that had been harvested.

Standing on the bridge of the battleship tower, Yamamoto Kazumoku saw this scene through the telescope, and scolded angrily: "Yaga, Sato Daisa, immediately knock out those tanks in China." ”

The big man named Sato immediately turned around and got into the gun compartment of one of the main guns, casually carried out the gunners inside, and sat down in the fire control position himself. With Sato's operation, the battleship's 510mm main gun began to move, but after waiting for a long time, the main gun fired.

Yamamoto Ichimoku scolded loudly: "Yaga, Sato, you bastard, why don't you fire yet?" The most elite marines of our Sun Empire royal family are going to die, don't you see? ”

Sato got out of the gun bay and said aggrievedly: "General, we are too far away, and it's okay to hit the position, but such a small tank can't be aimed." ”

"And how close do you want to be?" Yamamoto asked in a sinister voice.

Sato calculated in his mind and said in a deep voice: "If you go another 3 nautical miles, (1 nautical mile = 1.8 kilometers) I will be able to hit them." ”

Yamamoto nodded and ordered loudly, "The fleet moves forward 3 nautical miles." ”

Following his order, the remaining fleet of 8 ships began to move forward rapidly, but it had not yet reached the designated position. Suddenly, with a loud bang, Yamamoto felt a violent shock to the ship's hull at a glance, and he suddenly fell from the high tower as he stood unsteadily. The famous generals of this generation ended his life in such a disgraceful way.

Gunpowder saw that the railgun had hit the battleship accurately, and jumped up from his chair excitedly, and through the binoculars, he could see that a large hole had been broken in one side of the battleship, and the sea water was frantically pouring into it. The hull of the ship slowly began to tilt, and just as Gunpowder was about to give the order for an all-out counterattack, a white flag was raised on the battleship.

"Huh? What tricks are these Japanese devils playing? Gunpowder wondered, and the redwood on the side thought slightly, and said with a smile: "If my guess is correct, the railgun just now should have killed Kamimoto Ichimoi, and they will choose to surrender when the dragons are leaderless." ”

Gunpowder smirked and shouted to one of the heralds beside him: "Raise the flag and inform their warships to dock immediately and accept surrender, otherwise they will be killed." ”

Under the wave of the signal flag in the herald's hand, the remaining seven battleships dragged the battleship, which had lost power and was about to sink at any time, slowly drove to the shore.
