Devil's Army

Chapter 485: Destroying the Destroyer Mount Fuji

The Isoguri Regiment retreated to Jinzhou to rest and recuperate, while he himself went to meet the division commander Sakamoto.

After listening to the commander of the Isoguri regiment recounting the entire battle process, the division commander Sakamoto lamented, "The devil troops are becoming increasingly difficult to deal with. With the loss of Songlingmen Town today, our Jinzhou is no longer safe."

"Don't worry, Commander Sakamoto. Once I have replenished the ammunition and artillery, I will definitely take down Songlingmen Town. We can't let the devil troops stay by our side and stare at us covetously."

"Do your best, please, I'm counting on you, Isoko-kun. The artillery can't just set up one position, they have to be divided into several positions to coordinate with each other. Once the Devil's 150mm howitzer attacks one of the artillery positions, the other artillery will immediately destroy the Devil's artillery."

The battalion commander who was surrounded in the command center and the military camp had been asking for help from the division commander Sakamoto.

He knew that Division Commander Sakamoto was known for his bravery in combat, and he was confident that he could defeat the devil's troops and rush over to reinforce.

Division Commander Sakamoto took the captain's telegram for help and smiled bitterly without saying anything. He hadn't even taken over a small town like Songlingmen yet, so how could he talk about attacking Huludao to reinforce him?

Although the reinforcement captain cannot do it at the moment, he still has to make a move.

Division Commander Sakamoto asked the navy for help and requested the warships in the harbor to bomb Hulu Port.

The navy was angry and looked down upon the army when they saw that the army had lost the important port of Hulugang in just one day. But without Hulugang, they had to go to Jinzhou to replenish supplies, and Hulugang was also their naval base. Some of their naval families also lived in Hulugang.

So he ordered the Fujisan destroyer, which was cruising in Hulugang, to fire at Hulugang.

Since there were no target coordinates, the bombing of Mount Fuji did not cause any substantial damage to the First Army. But it still caused considerable trouble.

The facilities of the civilian port were destroyed by the Fujisan.

As there was war at the time, there were no civilians at the port as they all went to avoid the war, so there were no casualties.

The captain in the headquarters heard the bombardment of the ship's guns and cheered happily: "Our navy of the Empire of Japan is about to attack. Captain Igawa, you lead your squadron to prepare for support!"

"Hi!" Captain Igawa responded by standing at attention and immediately went to make arrangements.

The bombing of the Fujisan was still going on, when Captain Igawa suddenly rushed out of the main entrance of the headquarters with a group of Japanese soldiers, shooting outside as they rushed.

The soldiers of the First Army, who had never relaxed, saw the Japanese rushing out and immediately fired machine guns and threw grenades.

Captain Igawa's troops had more than 20 bodies lying at the gate and had to flee back to the headquarters in a hurry.

The Japanese Navy of the Fujisan destroyer was very arrogant, with its eyes on top of its head. It stayed in the sea half a mile away, bombing anywhere it wanted.

As night fell, the artillery of the 150th Brigade quietly arranged seven mm howitzers into two positions in the port, pointing their guns at the Fujisan destroyer on the sea.

The sun had just shyly peeked out from the horizon, and the buildings in the port were covered with a thin golden coat.

The Mount Fuji proudly blew the whistle, adjusted the muzzle of its guns, and prepared to give the Hulugang Devil Force another blow.

At this moment, a series of terrifying 150mm grenades whistled towards the Fujisan destroyer, followed by a series of explosions.

The power system of the Mount Fuji was destroyed in the first round of bombing by the First Army. It was unable to leave the port and could only drift on the sea.

The destroyer's main gun aimed at the port was also blown up, and sailors and officers ran on the deck shouting.

The wounded were lying on the deck and at the gun positions, wailing in pain, and medical soldiers were running among the wounded, rescuing them.

The captain of the Mount Fuji maintained order on the chaotic ship while arranging the secondary guns to prepare for a counterattack against the devil's troops.

However, the artillery of the First Army reacted faster than him, and the second round of artillery fire came soon after the first round of artillery fire ended.

The secondary guns of the destroyer Fujisan fired two shots near the artillery position on the left side of the First Army and then immediately went silent.

The second round of bombardment by the 2nd Regiment's artillery was mainly aimed at the artillery on the Fujisan.

After two rounds of bombing, the Fujisan destroyer, which had lost power and firepower, drifted on the sea like a lamb to be slaughtered.

It is estimated that two or three more rounds of bombing will be enough to sink the Fujisan destroyer. In this way, the artillery of their Fourth Brigade will be recorded in the history of the First Army as the first artillery to sink a Japanese destroyer.

Captain Huang ordered the artillery to continue reloading ammunition in preparation for sinking the destroyer Mount Fuji.

At this time, the second regiment commander came over and stopped the artillery. He said to Captain Huang: "Do we need warships for such a large port?"

"Captain, are you trying to capture the Fujisan?"

"Isn't this possible? Anyway, he can't run away now."

"Yes, but the Japanese will definitely not abandon this ship. In order to prevent retaliation from the Japanese navy, our artillery position must be moved."

"Then let's move it right away. Do you want me to drive it myself?"

"Hehehe! I dare not, I dare not." Battalion Commander Huang immediately arranged for the two 150mm howitzer positions to retreat and move.
