Cross the Songhu battlefield and rise to become the most powerful warlord

The Japanese heavy cruiser Furutaka 602 is desperate

This is at sea, if their landing ship is sunk.

Their only fate is to be eaten by fish.

Although, their landing fleet was actually not very far from the port, only less than 20 kilometers away.

But it's too far for them to swim back.

"Quick, turn around and go back.

Hurry up! "

Countless Japanese soldiers urged the driver of the landing ship to drive back.

At this moment, these Japanese soldiers could not care about anything else.

It's important to escape first.

The Japanese landing fleet, which had been very orderly, fell into chaos in an instant.

Many Japanese landing ships collided with other Japanese landing ships due to emergency turns and U-turns.

The scene was very chaotic.

boom!

In this chaotic situation, the artillery shells fired from the Tianshu finally hit a large Japanese landing ship.

This 305mm shell easily penetrated the armor of a large Japanese landing ship and exploded inside.

The Japanese soldiers inside suffered heavy casualties.

The surrounding sea water quickly turned blood red.

Boom boom boom!

As a result, a moment later, a bigger explosion came from this large Japanese landing ship.

The large landing ship was directly blown into a huge fireball, with flames shooting into the sky.

It turned out that the previous shell had detonated the ammunition and fuel inside the large landing ship, causing a chain reaction explosion.

This caused such a tragic scene.

The Japanese's large landing ships are used to carry landing tanks and large landing craft in preparation for landing operations.

Therefore, it carries a lot of ammunition and fuel, and is basically a large ammunition depot.

Once hit, the consequences would be much more tragic than other Japanese landing ships.

After all, other ordinary landing ships of the Japanese devils only carried dozens of soldiers.

There is no need to carry so much ammunition and fuel.

However, the Japanese do not have many of these large landing ships, only seven or eight at the front.

More of them are the ordinary landing ships at the back, which basically have no firepower.

The only thing is the machine gun mounted on it.

In this case, it's useless.

"Baga, turn around.

I don't want to stay here any longer.

Amaterasu, please protect your people."

The Japanese soldiers on the landing ships around saw the tragic scene of the large landing ship that had just been hit by an artillery shell and exploded.

The Japanese soldiers who stayed there were completely wiped out.

This frightened the Japanese soldiers on the surrounding landing ships so much that they lost their wits and many of them knelt down and prayed for the protection of their Amaterasu.

Then, the Japanese landing ships began to escape even more frantically.

There were so many of these Japanese landing ships, hundreds of them.

At this time, they swarmed around.

Boom boom boom!

But the shelling from Tianshu continued.

It’s a pity that the frequency of this bombardment was still too low, and the five warships commanded by Wang Chuying rushed over.

The number is still too small.

At long distances, we could only rely on the large-caliber naval guns on Tianshu to attack the large number of Japanese landing ships.

It's just a drop in the bucket after all.

Therefore, the plan Wang Chuying formulated to attack these Japanese landing ships was simple and crude.

That is, rush over as fast as possible.

First use artillery and torpedoes to destroy those large Japanese landing ships.

The artillery on these large Japanese landing ships still poses a threat to their destroyers.

After eliminating these large Japanese landing ships, they will face other unarmed landing ships.

There is no need to use torpedoes and large-caliber naval guns to attack.

Wang Chuying and his men only needed to use the 76mm artillery or machine guns on their warships to destroy the Japanese's ordinary landing ships.

"No!"

In the distance, on the Japanese heavy cruiser "Gu Ying", the Japanese commander Shan Niu Youyi looked at the large landing ship that was blown up and let out a desperate roar.

He really wanted to rush over to help and stop the Tianshu's attack.

But unfortunately, the four destroyers roaming around his heavy cruiser were like sharks.

Be ready to launch torpedoes at any time to deal a fatal blow to his heavy cruiser.

This left the old devil Shanniu Youyi with no choice but to find a way to deal with the situation on his side first.

He couldn't take care of the landing fleet.

Originally, according to common sense, when one side sends out a landing fleet to carry out landing operations.

Basically, we need to ensure that the surrounding waters are absolutely safe.

Otherwise, their landing fleet would be attacked by the enemy fleet.

No matter how many warships there are, it is difficult to stop them.

This is also why, a few days ago, the Japanese command suddenly received news of the presence of a US aircraft carrier fleet in the Coral Sea.

The Japanese command immediately called a halt to the landing operation of this landing fleet.

Unfortunately, the Japs never dreamed of this.

Their main aircraft carrier fleet had clearly defeated the US aircraft carrier fleet in the southern Coral Sea.

Logically speaking, the area around the Coral Sea should be safe.

How could there be such a US fleet that would directly block Guadalcanal?

The main thing is that in the past two days, there have been Japanese reconnaissance planes flying around the Coral Sea every day.

How come this fleet wasn't discovered?

It’s really evil!

Boom!

The sound of explosions in the distance gradually increased.

That was caused by more Japanese landing ships being hit and exploded continuously under the bombardment of the Tianshu.

"Ah, help!"

Countless Japanese soldiers fell into the water and struggled in the sea.

"Captain, the Japanese large landing ships have entered the range of our torpedoes."

In the command room of the Tianshu, which was sailing at high speed, First Mate Daniel reported to Wang Chuying.

"Launch torpedoes immediately."

Everything!

Soon, on the deck of the Tianshu battlecruiser, torpedo tubes launched heavy torpedoes of more than 600 millimeters into the water.

At this time, after the modification, the Tianshu had a total of eight quadruple torpedo tubes.

This means that the Tianshu can launch sixteen torpedoes at the Japanese landing fleet at one time.

This does not include the other four destroyers around.

Along with the other four destroyers, torpedoes were also fired.

For a moment, the seven large landing ships of the Japanese were surrounded by torpedoes speeding past.

"torpedo!"

As a large number of torpedoes approached.

The Japanese soldiers on the large landing ships could already see the torpedoes flying towards them and let out shrill shouts.

The Japanese devils still vividly remembered the tragic scene of the large landing ship that was hit by the main gun of Tianshu and exploded just now.

What if their landing ship was hit by a torpedo?

The tragic result would not be much better than the previous large landing ship that was hit by the main gun.

To avoid becoming grilled squid.

Many Japanese soldiers on these large landing ships made decisions on the spot.

thump! thump!

A large number of Japanese soldiers chose to jump into the sea and leave the large landing ships.
