Devil's Army

The next morning, Fox Wolf ordered all four warships to set sail. Except for a small detachment left behind, all the other members of the air force also boarded the ship.

All thirteen Golden Eagles equipped by the Air Force were also brought on board.

The Jackal also assigned three snipers to each ship.

The navy and air force have been training for so long and are finally going to fight the Japanese, so they are very excited.

The snipers of the special forces team leaned calmly against the side of the ship, smoking and looking at the endless sea.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, perfect weather for an ambush.

As the warship got closer and closer to Jinzhou Port, the risk factor increased sharply.

Suddenly, the sentry on the flagpole of the Chaoyang sent a flag signal: four Japanese warships were spotted two or three nautical miles ahead.

The four warships of the First Army immediately lined up in a row, ready for battle.

All thirteen Golden Eagle IIs of the Air Force took off and disappeared into the dark clouds.

The other side had apparently also discovered the four warships of the First Army and was sending flag signals to the First Army’s navy to inquire about the situation.

The enemy-to-us ratio was 1:1, and Captain Hu ordered each ship to aim at its own target.

When the Japs sent the second flag signal to inquire, they were greeted by artillery shells from the army and navy.

Facing the First Army's flagship was the Japanese heavy cruiser Soryu with a full load displacement of 13,000 tons.

Captain Hu ordered: capture the Canglong and sink or destroy the other three ships.

The First Army’s naval training required that the first shell must hit the target, so in the First Army’s first salvo, four Japanese warships were hit one after another.

The Soryu had the worst luck, as the Chaoyang's first shell hit the main gun on the bow that was confronting it.

The Canglong quickly turned its hull and prepared to attack the Chaoyang with its main gun on the starboard side.

The Japanese had been rampant on the sea for a long time and had never been attacked.

This time, when attacked by the I-N Navy, except for the heavy cruiser Soryu, the other warships thought that the ships in front were also theirs, and did not even make any preparations before the war.

The Japanese warships responded hastily and passively, and were soon hit by bullets one after another, falling into a disadvantage.

When the Canglong turned around, Captain Hu ordered the fleet to chase and attack it while bombing the Canglong continuously.

The bow deck of the Soryu and an anti-aircraft gun turret on the starboard side were also hit.

The Soryu finally assumed a combat posture, and the main gun artillery on the starboard side fired back at the cruiser Chaoyang despite the fire from the Chaoyang.

The two sides fought fiercely, and their shells exploded continuously in their respective waters, causing huge waves.

A shell from the Soryu's starboard main gun whizzed towards the Chaoyang.

Outside the command room, Captain Fan, working in coordination with his air force, was unaware of the approaching danger.

An artilleryman who was transporting artillery shells nearby heard the whistling of the shells and shouted, "Be careful," and rushed towards Captain Hu and Captain Fan.

Taking advantage of the inertia of the pounce, the three people kept sliding forward on the slippery deck.

When sliding to the starboard side of the Chaoyang, Captain Hu supported the starboard side with his right hand and hooked his right foot tightly on the side of the ship, blocking Captain Fan and the other two on the shaking deck.

At this time, the shell of the Canglong exploded next to where Captain Hu and the others were standing, and a big hole was blown in the deck outside the command room.

Captain Hu and the other two looked at each other and burst into laughter.

Captain Hu looked at his other three warships and found that they were all damaged to some extent. However, the Japanese warships lost the initiative and were more seriously damaged.

The Japanese Soryu was still fighting back against the bombing of the Chaoyang. At this time, the Japanese on the deck spotted the four Golden Eagle IIs flying towards them and shouted:

"Air strike, air strike!..." The anti-aircraft artillery of the Canglong quickly turned the muzzle of the gun to prepare to shoot at the Golden Eagle No. 2.

At this time, the Golden Eagle II fired a salvo of four air-to-ground missiles, attacking the anti-aircraft artillery and anti-aircraft machine gun positions that posed the greatest threat to them.

Before it could even fire, the anti-aircraft gun emplacements and machine gun positions on the Soryu heavy cruiser were blown into a pile of scrap metal by the air-to-ground missiles of the Golden Eagle II. The Japanese soldiers on the emplacements and positions suffered heavy casualties.

The remaining Japanese anti-aircraft guns and machine gun positions aimed at the Golden Eagle No. 2 and opened fire.

The four Golden Eagle No. 2s dodged the artillery fire while waiting for the right opportunity to launch another round of shooting.

The other four anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine gun positions on the Soryu were also destroyed by the Golden Eagle II.

The four Golden Eagle IIs, no longer a threat, began to calmly bombard the Canglong's cab and control room, forcing it to stop.

The captain of the Soryu asked for help from the Jinzhou Naval Base while ordering a retreat.

The four Golden Eagle IIs above the Canglong continued to attack the Canglong.

The cockpit of the Soryu finally stopped after being attacked by three consecutive air-to-ground missiles.

The Canglong, having lost power, drifted on the sea like duckweed.

The Chaoyang was already rushing towards the Canglong at full speed.

The two warships were already within the range of their main guns, and neither side's main guns could hit the other.

In order to keep the Soryu intact, the Golden Eagle No. 2 no longer attacked the Soryu's main gun.

The Japanese navy on the Soryu could only use guns to attack the Chaoyang cruiser. But that was better than nothing.

The Chaoyang and Canglong were within the effective range of the guns, and the special forces sniper on the Chaoyang played a big role, constantly sniping at the Japanese on the Canglong.
