Chapter 429: Dragon Fleet

After a night's rest, the Japanese troops besieging Wake Island were still asleep.

At this moment, there were still two hours before dawn, and only a few officers got up one step earlier than the soldiers, and gathered on Ogang's flagship to refine the distribution of the upcoming decisive battle.

Ooka didn't want to drag on the war any longer, and he wanted all ships to force a landing on Wake Island today, from the east, west, north, and south of Wake Island, and even if there was no beach there, he would have his soldiers use kayaks to force the landing, encircle the enemy, and completely annihilate them.

The flagship's lookout sat on the mast wrapped in cotton clothes, and the mist rose from the surrounding sea at night, making it difficult for him to see what was far away on the sea.

He vaguely felt that there seemed to be some black shadows moving in the mist, but he couldn't see it really, so he could only rub his eyes, raise the telescope again, and try to look into the mist, his eyes were about to pop out.

However, as he watched, the Japanese scout's eyes widened, and an inexplicable horror came to his mind, and a moment later, a scream pierced the night sky, and he sounded the alarm.

"Enemy ships! Enemy! Enemy ships appear ahead! ”

Ooka, who was in the cabin for the pre-war deployment, heard the noise outside and was quite dissatisfied.

"Look at what those soldiers are calling for? Is it to tell the defenders on the island that we are about to attack? Let them be quiet! If I hear someone shouting again, I'll throw him overboard and let him swim back to Japan on his own! ”

The adjutant bowed his head and said "hi", and was about to go out to vent his anger on the shouting soldiers, but when he stepped out of the chaotic deck, he realized that something was wrong.

"Who's making a loud noise? The generals and captains are holding a pre-war meeting! ”

"Sir! Enemy ships, enemy ships! They came from the sea, from the east! ”

"What?!"

The adjutant seemed to be in disbelief, pushed the soldier away and ran to the sidestrings, picked up the binoculars and looked out to sea.

In the thin mist, there seemed to be a huge black shadow rapidly approaching them, and when the black shadow broke through the mist and came to a distance that could be seen by the telescope, the adjutant shook his hands and almost dropped the telescope into the sea.

The giant ship that marched silently was like predators on the sea, and they were the prey of this group of predators.

Huge, terrifying, invincible, these three thoughts came to the adjutant's mind at the same time, and he staggered back to the command room, shouting as he ran: "Sir! Enemy ships are coming! Enemy ships are comingβ€”β€”! ”

"Brother Ghost, the enemy seems to have discovered our whereabouts."

On the Qinglong, Hong Agui's adjutant reported.

"Did you find out? I wanted to get closer, but the enemy was already within the distance of our artillery fire, so I gave the order to go down and cover the artillery fire to wipe out all the Japanese troops in the harbor. ”

"Yes!"

With an understatement, the fate of Ooka's fleet was announced, and when they hurriedly wanted to turn their bows to meet the enemy, those behemoths had already emerged from the thick fog, and dozens of searchlights hit the Japanese troops in the harbor together, and the next moment, the artillery fire pierced the silent night sky.

The large-caliber shipboard guns on those heavy battleships fired earth-shattering, and even the hull would retreat due to the salvo of naval guns.

"Shelling by enemy ships! Shelling of enemy ships! Yes! ”

The scout on the mast was still screaming downward, and a cannonball hit the mast, and he screamed and fell into the sea, sinking with the broken mast.

Although the Japanese also fired back at the fleet that appeared in the mist, they were depressed to find that their ship-based guns could not reach the enemy, and could only blow up one column of water after another on the sea.

"Yaga! Lean in! Lean over and sink them! ”

Ooka wanted to die when he saw this scene, why did the other naval fleets have smooth sailing, and he ran into walls everywhere?!

Under Ogaoka's orders, the Japanese cruisers were at full speed and approached the emerging enemy.

However, when they got closer, they found that the ships of this enemy fleet were terrifyingly large, and the ship's guns were like beehives, densely packed to make people's teeth sour.

"Brother Ghost, the enemy is coming over!"

Hong Agui ordered with an indifferent expression: "Shoot torpedoes and sink them." ”

"Yes!"

The soft-lined torpedo was thrown into the water and swam quickly towards the target.

"Boom, boom!"

When the torpedo touched their target, a violent explosion blew a large hole in a Japanese destroyer on the spot.

"Watch out for torpedoes! Fight back, fight back! ”

The Japanese fleet commanders immediately returned to their battleships in small boats and organized a counterattack in a little panic.

The destroyers began to shoot together, and in an instant, the sky was covered with dense white spots, and countless spots bloomed into golden fireballs wrapped in thick smoke, forming a scorching web of fire in the air.

"Did you hit?"

Ooka looked at this scene with some uncertainty, because an explosion of this magnitude could almost blow up an aircraft carrier.

Still, what he feared happened.

When the smoke cleared, the steel behemoths were still heading towards them, leaving little damage on board.

Can...... But what about the explosion and smoke just now?

"Hmph~ The little devil has never seen us intercept the hive fire arrow bomb at all, and he is probably dumbfounded."

Hong Agui's adjutant wiped his nose proudly, what they fired just now was the latest unique weapon developed by the Chamber of Commerce, which was specially used to intercept the enemy's shells.

Just now, in the face of the salvo of Japanese naval guns, they used this technique for the first time in actual combat, but they did not expect the effect to be amazing.

"Fight back, let the little devils go to God, oh yes, they don't believe in God, then let them go to God."

Hong Ah Ghost made a rare joke, and the adjutant immediately picked up the communication intercom and shouted, "Self-launch!" Completely destroy the enemy ship! ”

On the other giant battleships, Lai Xiaofei and Qiao Bei each commanded one, and they were very excited when they received the order of the flagship at this moment.

"Is it finally about to start? We, the Dragonwalkers, have been hiding for so long, and we're finally going to make our mark in the Pacific...... Fire! Let the little devils see how vulnerable their sea power is in front of our dragon ship! Fire! ”

Lai Xiaofei gave the order loudly, and the large-caliber shipboard guns on the "White Tiger" roared together, and the violent cannon sound shook the heavens and the earth, and if you didn't wear earplugs at close range, the eardrums would definitely be shattered.

"Ship guns and torpedoes for me to fire together! Aim at the densest spots of enemy ships and give me a hard shot! ”

Qiao Bei was also on the "Suzaku", and the team's own crew gave the order.

A large number of shells were thrown into the air by the thick smoke, and one after another torpedoes were also thrown into the sea, and they were fired at the Japanese fleet up and down, and with an indomitable aura, billowing black smoke exploded in the fleet group, and two cruisers showed signs of breaking silence on the spot.
