Devil's Army
Chapter 678: Blocking the Japanese Reinforcements
Fox, on the cruiser Huludao, withdrew to Huludao with four other warships.
The Huludao blew its horn while retreating, signaling the small freighter Hangzhou to leave the nearby waters as soon as possible, because it knew that the reinforcements of the Japanese navy would catch up soon.
After the Huludao cruiser had been sailing for a while, a large force of Japanese warships from Jinzhou followed.
The battleship Yamato went out on a mission, led by the heavy cruiser Yokohama.
Colonel Yokoyomi of the Yokohama arranged a destroyer to rescue the Imperial Navy soldiers who fell into the water, and the other warships pursued the Devil Force's fleet at full speed.
The Japanese warships chased for about ten nautical miles and saw the warships of the devil troops.
The Japs began to bombard the First Army's naval fleet. Fox Wolf also discovered the Japs' warships, a total of eight.
The Huludao cruiser continued to tow the Japanese cruiser back to Huludao, and the other four ships lined up in battle formation and began to shell the Japanese warships.
There were only three Golden Eagle IIs left, and they were running low on air-to-ground missiles. The Air Force had already loaded the two air-to-ground missiles on the belly of the three Golden Eagle IIs onto the launchers during the retreat back to Huludao.
At present, the Japanese navy has an absolute advantage, and the navy will definitely suffer the most if a fight continues.
Fox Wolf ordered three Golden Eagle IIs to bombard the Japanese flagship, the Yokohama heavy cruiser.
In order to avoid the shooting of the Japanese anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, the Golden Eagle No. 2 hid in the clouds and flew out of the clouds from time to time to check the situation on the sea.
The Japanese were also afraid of the First Army's Golden Eagle II, and each warship had a special person to watch the sky. However, the Golden Eagle II was small in size, flew high, and often disappeared into the clouds. The Japanese observers failed to spot the Golden Eagle II.
The Yokohama's observation soldiers even mistook a few seagulls for the First Army's Golden Eagle II, and immediately sounded the air defense alarm.
The Japanese navy had suffered many losses from the small aircraft of the First Army, so when they heard the air defense alarm, they immediately ran to the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, ready to block the small aircraft of the incoming devil troops.
But what made them laugh and cry was that as the black spots in the sky got closer, the Japanese discovered that they were just a few seagulls.
At this time, the First Army Air Force had already maneuvered the Golden Eagle II to fly over the Yokohama heavy cruiser, preparing to look for an opportunity to attack the Yokohama.
The Japanese anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns suddenly raised their muzzles and aimed at the sky, which scared them, as they thought the Japanese had discovered them.
Soon, a few seagulls flew over the Yokohama. The Japanese anti-aircraft artillery also relaxed. Some anti-aircraft artillery soldiers even left the anti-aircraft artillery positions to help the main guns bomb the warships of the First Army.
Seeing the opportunity, the air force squadron leader immediately ordered his soldiers to attack the Yokohama heavy cruiser.
The three Golden Eagle IIs quickly lowered their altitude and fired an air-to-ground missile at each of the three main guns on the port side of the Yokohama heavy cruiser.
At this time, the Japanese observation soldiers also discovered the small aircraft of the Devil Forces and sounded the air defense alarm again.
The Japanese anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns quickly fired at the Golden Eagle No. 2.
However, the three Golden Eagle IIs acted like hooligans at this time. After launching the missiles, they immediately increased their altitude, left the airspace above the Yokohama heavy cruiser, and disappeared into the clouds.
The Japanese anti-aircraft artillery fired a round into the sky, and the Golden Eagle No. 2 could not even see its shadow. They had to stop the air bombardment.
The three air-to-ground missiles launched by the Golden Eagle II hit the three main guns on the port side of the Yokohama heavy cruiser.
The Yokohama heavy cruiser had only one main gun left on its port side to fire at the Tiaobinshan cruiser.
The cruiser Tiaobinshan seized the opportunity and attacked the remaining main gun of the heavy cruiser Yokohama with its four main guns on the starboard side.
The last main gun on the port side of the Yokohama was hit by a shell, but it was still usable. The surviving Japanese artilleryman managed to stuff a shell into the barrel and then fired another shot at the Diaobingshan.
The shells landed in front of the Tiaobinshan, and the huge waves generated by the explosion pushed the Tiaobinshan to the top of the waves and then fell into the trough of the waves.
After stopping, the Diaobingshan fired four more shells at the Yokohama.
Two consecutive shells landed on and next to the last main gun turret of the Yokohama.
All the main guns on the port side of the Yokohama were destroyed, leaving only a few secondary guns to fire at the Tiaobinshan, and its firepower was greatly reduced.
The Yokohama tried to turn around and fire at the Tiaobinshan with its main gun on the starboard side.
The First Army Air Force seized the opportunity again, swooped down and fired three air-to-ground missiles at the Yokohama.
Three of the four main guns on the starboard side of the Yokohama were destroyed. At this time, it was meaningless to turn the ship around and exchange fire with the Diaobingshan. They had to continue to use their secondary guns to attract the Diaobingshan and cover the adjacent cruisers Wuyun and Changjiu to bombard the Diaobingshan together.
At this time, the captain of the First Army Air Force squad discovered a defect in the Japanese warship, that is, there were no anti-aircraft machine guns that could swing up and down installed at the bow and stern.
The First Army Air Force immediately maneuvered the Golden Eagle II to fly to the bow of the Wuyun and the stern of the Changjiu, and fired an air-to-ground missile at each of the two warships.
The two main guns on the side of the Wuyun and one main gun on the Changjiu were destroyed one after another. The pressure on the cruiser Diaobingshan was suddenly reduced.
At this time, the Japanese navy still had the upper hand, and the First Army's naval warships had a hard time fighting.
A Golden Eagle II seized the opportunity and launched an air-to-ground missile at the command room of the Yokohama flagship.
Colonel Yokoyomi almost died in this attack.
This air-to-ground missile made Colonel Hengyong clearly realize that without destroying the small aircraft of the Devil Force, their navy could not defeat the Devil Force's navy. Helplessly, he had to order the fleet to withdraw to Jinzhou Port.
