Devil's Army

Chapter 488 Navy Clearance Operation

The Japanese navy, with the Yamato battleship as its flagship, led a cruiser and a destroyer and rushed towards Hulu Port to carry out a clearing operation.

The Japanese navy had to eliminate the two captured warships to prevent them from being left to the devil's forces and causing trouble for them at sea if they grew stronger in the future.

Captain Murata of the Yamato learned from the telegrams of the captured captains of the destroyer and cruiser Fujiyama that they were all captured by the 150mm howitzers of the Devil Forces, so he stopped on the sea five nautical miles away and began to bombard Huludao Port.

The Yamato battleship's main gun had a caliber of 460 mm, and a shell weighed one and a half tons, with amazing destructive power. A shell landed on the port dock, flattening all the buildings around the civilian dock.

The cruiser and destroyer that came with the Yamato also bombed the civilian docks.

Two cargo ships docked at the civilian dock were also hit. They were blown to pieces and gradually sank.

"We must defeat the Japanese fleet as soon as possible, otherwise when they discover the two warships in the dock, they will be sunk by several rounds of artillery shells." Thinking of this, the second regiment commander immediately asked Wang Zhuangfei for help.

Leng Feng and his team had already thought of this situation and informed Wang Zhuangfei. Wang Zhuangfei knew that he could only use his last trump card.

To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. A soldier piloted a golden eagle towards the Yamato battleship.

The Yamato battleship and the two warships were still bombing the targets on the dock recklessly. Their guards were also trying to search for the two warships captured by the Devil's Army.

In order to avoid being attacked by artillery fire from the Japanese warships, the golden eagle deliberately flew low over the sea.

When the golden eagle flew to the left side of the Yamato battleship, a naval soldier discovered the golden eagle, felt it was strange, and told his commander.

The commander also found it very strange. It was called an airplane, but it was much smaller than an airplane. It was called a seabird, but it was made of iron.

But people always have a fear of the unknown. The commander sensed the danger and ordered the rapid-fire gun to lower its muzzle and prepare to fire.

The alarm on the battleship Yamato sounded, and the soldiers took their positions, ready to attack the golden eagle.

At this time, the Golden Eagle fired two air-to-air missiles from its belly at the same time, shooting towards the water position of the Yamato battleship. Then it pulled up and flew over the Yamato to observe the results of the battle. Only two loud noises were heard: "boom, boom, boom, boom."

Two holes were blown into the Yamato battleship's hull below the waterline, and seawater began to pour into the Yamato battleship.

The navy on the Yamato battleship began to panic, but soon under the command of Colonel Maeda, they found something to plug the hole.

At this time, a 460mm main gun of the Yamato battleship that was attacking the dock was also attacked by a missile and was paralyzed on the spot.

"Retreat!" Colonel Murata ordered immediately. If he didn't retreat, his battleship would most likely sink in this sea.

The Yamato and the cruiser and destroyer that came with it immediately turned around and retreated at full speed towards Jinzhou.

At this time, there were still five missiles left in the golden eagle's belly. With its speed, it would have no problem catching up with the Yamato battleship that was fleeing at full speed. The problem was that all the missiles had been used up. Who would maintain the safety of Hulu Port in the future?

The golden eagle flew back, and the port of Huludao was temporarily safe.

Moreover, the Second Regiment, which was searching for the remaining Japanese invaders on Huludao Island, brought back some great news: they discovered a small oil depot while chasing a Japanese naval squad on the hill.

Because the attack by the First Army was sudden, the loss of Huludao was also beyond the expectation of the Japanese Navy. As a result, there was no time to order the bombing of the small oil depot.

This small oil depot also became the fuel supply point for the newly established navy of the army.

The Isoko Brigade, which was resting in Jinzhou at this time, heard that the naval fleet was attacking Huludao Port. It decided to take advantage of the unstable foothold of the Devil Force and was busy dealing with the navy, and once again launched a battle to capture Songlingmen Town.

The vanguard of the Jiogu Regiment encountered an ambush from the first company of the third battalion of the first regiment on the outskirts of Songlingmen Town.

The commander of the first regiment took advantage of the retreat of the Jigu League to Jinzhou to rest and arranged for the first company of the third battalion to reoccupy the outer fortifications of Songlingmen Town and reinforce them. Moreover, two fortifications were built this time.

When the Japanese bombarded, the main force retreated to the second line of fortifications to avoid the bombardment. When the Japanese infantry charged, they entered the first line of fortifications from the trenches to block the attack.

At this moment, the new artillerymen of the Isoko Regiment were venting their dissatisfaction with the last defeat. Shells fell on the fortifications of the company one by one.

The soldiers of a company hiding in the second line of fortification all felt a buzzing in their ears.

Seeing that the Japanese heavy artillery had begun to bombard their fortifications again, Captain Feng cursed: "These Japanese really only care about food and not fighting? First Company Commander, immediately calculate their artillery positions and cover them with artillery fire."

Soon, the company commander calculated the approximate location of the Japanese artillery position through the trajectory of the Japanese artillery shells, and immediately arranged for 150mm howitzers to provide artillery coverage.

The Japanese artillery fire suddenly became much smaller, and the pressure on the company's fortifications was greatly reduced.

But Captain Feng soon regretted it, because a 100mm grenade flying from another direction was hitting his artillery position.

It was definitely too late to move positions, so the artillerymen who were not hit by bombs quickly adjusted their gun muzzles, calculated the approximate location of the incoming shells, and quickly counterattacked.

The number of incoming Japanese artillery shells suddenly decreased.

This time, the artillery of the two armies fired at each other, causing casualties on both sides, and they retreated to rest.
