Devil's Army

The captains of the cruisers Yoshino and Matsushima sent telegrams to Colonel Sakatani to ask for permission to fire a few more rounds, send the Devil Force's naval ships to the bottom of the Bohai Sea, and then retreat.

Colonel Sakatani thought about it again and again and agreed. Because if the two warships of the Devil Force were sunk, the Devil Force would have no navy!

With the consent of Colonel Sakatani, the Yoshino began to bomb the Asahi at full power.

However, the Yoshino's intensive artillery fire only bombarded one round. The flying dragon changed its target and dived towards the Yoshino, flying around its gun muzzle and firing.

The Yoshino's artillery fire was silenced by the terrifying firepower output of the Hiryu M134.

The Asahi took the opportunity to bombard the Yoshino fiercely while arranging soldiers to repair the destroyed artillery.

Seeing that the Yoshino was jumping the most fiercely, Fox Wolf decided to teach him a lesson and ordered three patrol boats to attack the Yoshino together.

The third patrol boat rushed towards the Yoshino first.

As the soldiers on the Yoshino's side were swept away by the flying dragons and hid everywhere, the three patrol boats easily came to a place more than 100 meters away from the Yoshino and calmly fired three rockets below the waterline on the left side of the Yoshino cruiser.

Seawater began pouring into the Yoshino's cabin from the cruiser's left side. The Yoshino also began to tilt to the left.

To make matters worse, a shell from the Asahi hit the bridge of the Yoshino, causing a fire.

The Japanese on the Yoshino were busy draining water and putting out the fire at the same time.

At this time, three patrol boats circled around the right side of the Yoshino and fired three more rockets below its waterline.

The right cabin of the Yoshino also began to take in water. Gradually, the Yoshino stopped tilting to the left and regained its balance, but it kept sinking.

The Asahi struck hard at the downed dog, bombarding the Yoshino with its undamaged main and secondary guns.

The cruiser next to the Yoshino kept trying to save the Yoshino, and it kept attacking the Chaoyang. The Chaoyang's main gun, which had been firing at it, was hit by two shells and went silent.

The Yoshino was no longer a threat, so Feilong turned and pounced on the cruiser next to the Yoshino, firing fiercely at its deck and gun turrets.

The three patrol boats also changed their targets and rushed towards the cruiser.

The cruiser felt that it could not withstand the attack of the wolves and began to retreat at full speed towards Jinzhou.

At this time, the golden eagle returned and participated in the battle to attack the Matsushima which was besieging the Huludao destroyer.

Only two secondary guns and one main gun were still usable on the Huludao. The captain used the remaining main guns to exchange fire with the cruiser Matsushima, and the two secondary guns to bombard the destroyer on the left side of Matsushima.

The Yoshino was sinking faster and faster, and the soldiers on the Yoshino began to jump into the sea to escape.

The cruiser Matsushima and the destroyer next to it came over to rescue the soldiers in the sea.

At this time, the Golden Eagle and the Flying Dragon simultaneously participated in the attack on the destroyer Matsushima.

Three patrol boats also rushed towards the Matsushima and the destroyer.

Seeing this, the cruiser and destroyer Matsushima made an emergency turn and began to retreat at full speed towards Jinzhou.

The two patrol boats that first attacked the battleship Ise still had two 40 rockets on board. The soldiers caught up with the cruiser and destroyer Yoshino at full speed and fired their last rocket at each of them.

The cruiser and destroyer Yoshino were each hit by a 40mm rocket below the waterline, and the cabins began to flood. The soldiers on the ships urgently drained the water while retreating at full speed.

Huludao used its only remaining main gun and two secondary guns to bombard Matsushima, sending them off in their retreat.

The cruiser Matsushima and destroyer also retreated, and the Yoshino had completely sunk to the bottom of the Bohai Sea.

Out of humanitarian reasons, the Chaoyang rushed over and joined the patrol boat in rescuing the Japanese naval forces on the sea.

All 66 rescued Japanese naval prisoners were placed on the Chaoyang and sailed towards Hulugang Wharf.

In its first naval battle with the Japanese, the newly-born First Army Navy sank a cruiser, damaged a battleship, two cruisers and a destroyer.

Their two warships were also severely damaged and barely managed to return to Huludao Shipyard.

If the Japanese navy attacks Huludao again, the First Army Navy will be in an embarrassing situation of having no warships available.

The battleship Ise returned to Jinzhou Port in disgrace with injuries. Shigeru Sakatani sat in his office and never came out.

He had never thought that they, known as the strongest navy in Asia, would be defeated by a newly established local navy. How could he seek justice?

After a while, Shigeru Sakatani called the chief of staff in.

When the Chief of Staff came in, Sakatani Shigeru asked him, "How do you write a report to Commander Yamamoto?"

"We fought a bloody battle with the five warships and two aircraft of the Devil Force for a whole morning, severely damaging the five warships of the Devil Force and damaging their two aircraft. One of our cruisers was sunk and four were damaged."

"Commander Yamamoto knew that the devil's army had captured two of our warships. You said that we would have a bloody battle with their five warships. Where did the five warships come from?" Colonel Sakatani knew that he would be brought to a military court if he falsely reported military intelligence, so he hurriedly reminded the chief of staff.

"Aren't the three armed patrol boats of the Devil's Force warships?"

When Colonel Sakatani heard that five warships were fighting against five warships, and the enemy had air support, their defeat would not be so shameful, so he hurriedly said to the chief of staff: "Write the report."

The Chief of Staff saluted Colonel Sakatani and walked out of the office.
