Another World: Naval Storm

"General! The mainland asks you to lead the fleet back as soon as possible!"

"I want to, but I have to find a way to relieve some of the pressure on Qi Feng!" Leo was also very anxious now, and he didn't want to withdraw so easily.

Although the Far East Fleet successfully avoided the blockade of the Japanese and Talun fleets and sank several Talun and Japanese transport ships at sea, the threat was too small. The Talun and Japanese fleets consisted of dozens of ships, so Leo didn't dare to rush in rashly.

"Marshal Piltz has called several times. You must lead the fleet back to the mainland!"

"The ocean fleet he built won't be able to fight without my warships? So many ships are just toys?" Leo shouted in annoyance, and the others dared not say anything.

At this time, outside Qifeng Port, there were many warships from Japan and Tajikistan, the sound of gunfire was endless, but Leo could only avoid their attack.

【Report to Commander】

[A fleet was discovered 60 kilometers away, with a total of 6 ships] Leo used the merit points accumulated over the years to exchange for a level 1 God's perspective, which allows him to see everything within 60 kilometers and spot ships at ultra-long distances.

[Congratulations Commander for winning a victory]

[Obtain Merit Points 1200]

"How many fleets are there?" Leo asked, looking at the wreckage of ships floating on the sea.

"Sir, this is the third fleet we've destroyed since the Empire went to war!"

"You said the Japanese and Talen people don't care about these supplies at all? Why don't they send troops to destroy us?"

"Maybe it's because Qifeng Port is more important than us!" Dawson replied.

"No more waiting. Since they are not coming, let's go!" Leo gave the order to pass through the Tsushima Strait and head to the Atlas Sea to return to the mainland.

On the other side, the commander of the Japanese combined fleet besieging Qifeng Port, Tohei Shimosaburo, also replied, "It's just a few transport ships. Qifeng Port is where the interests of the empire lie!"

On September 9, the Japanese Army had mobilized 2 soldiers, mainly the 4.5th Division, equipped with hundreds of heavy siege guns, mountain guns, and field guns. It seemed that the Japanese had learned the lesson of the Romanian-Japanese War. They landed at Longkou, Qingzhou, under the cover of naval guns. Within 15 days, the Japanese army successively captured the county town near Qifeng and the towns along the railway, and gathered heavy troops to advance towards Qifeng.

The Drake garrison built two lines of defense in Qifeng. The outer line of defense was the commanding heights of Fushan, Yandunshan, and Sifangshan. They expelled the Xunyang laborers, built temporary artillery positions, dug trenches, transported supplies, etc., and were fully prepared for war under the strict orders of Governor Mail.

Unfortunately, the total number of Drake troops guarding Qifeng was less than 7000, almost one-tenth of the Japanese army's offensive force. Therefore, only a small number of Drake officers and soldiers were responsible for guarding Yangkou Bay outside the outer defense line.

The landing Japanese troops repelled the guard troops without consuming much ammunition and began to advance to join the main force of the Japanese army heading south.

At that time, the Japanese navy had dispatched more than 60 warships to blockade Qifeng Bay and attack the garrison stationed in Qifeng Port from the sea, but because the Drake army had laid a large number of mines in Qifeng Bay, landing on the east side of Qifeng became almost the only option for the Japanese army. A few days later, another team of Talun troops with a total strength of about 2000 people also landed in Yangkou Bay.

“Bang…” “Bang…”

"spread!"

"Where is the enemy?"

"I don't know, I can't see the location clearly!"

"You, lead a small team and search from that direction!" A Japanese lieutenant colonel ordered a lieutenant while pointing to the path next to him.

In the early morning of September 9, the Japanese army sent two squadrons to launch a surprise attack on Fushan in the dark. The mountain road was rugged and the Japanese army was suddenly attacked by the firepower of Drake's army. Since they could not identify the enemy's position, they had to send a small team to go back to the southeast foot of Drake's position to search, and the rest of the soldiers dispersed and continued to advance towards Drake's position.

"Look, the Japanese are like living targets, one by one!"

"Indeed, but these dwarves are quite agile!" said the Drake soldier who had just failed.

"That's because your marksmanship is not good enough, watch me!" As he said that, he shot the Japanese soldier who showed his head in the skull.

"You are all useless, but my big baby is the real deal!" After changing the ammunition belt, the Maxim machine gun began to spit out fire snakes again.

The Japanese army was under heavy fire from the Drak defenders and could only look for cover and wait for the opportunity. At daybreak, the Japanese soldiers finally found the main position of the Drak troops, so under the cover of the vanguard, a large number of troops began to approach the Drak troops' position.

In the fierce exchange of fire, the Japanese officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties, with more than half of the leading officers killed or wounded.

"The Japanese devils are getting closer and closer, don't stop the machine gun!"

At daybreak, the Japanese squads were only about 15 meters away from the Drake army's position. They charged on the nearly vertical cliff, which was no different from seeking death! Under the fierce shooting of the soldiers stationed in Drake, many Japanese soldiers died on the way to charge.

"The army is still so dogmatic!" This is how Tohei Shimosaburo commented on the Japanese army after learning the news from the front line.

The Japanese Army also felt ashamed of the unfavorable war situation. "You are all the elites of the Army. The Navy must be watching us. Let them see who is the pillar of the empire!"

The Japanese army certainly did not want to be embarrassed by the navy, so they changed their tactics and used a large force to attack the east side of the high ground to attract the attention of the Drake defenders. At the same time, they sent soldiers to climb the tall protruding boulders and shoot down from the top of the Drake defenders' heads. The Japanese army also sent a death squad to climb the cliff and concentrated several precision shooters to block the Drake defenders in the direction of the cliff.

"Captain, the Japanese have surrounded us!" The soldier with gauze wrapped around his head reported the situation to the commander of the position.

The bullets fired from all directions made the Drake defenders unable to raise their heads. Looking at the few soldiers left around, the captain had no choice but to order surrender.

At noon that day, the Japanese army completely captured the high ground around Fushan, captured dozens of Drake soldiers, and seized a large number of weapons and ammunition. According to post-war statistics, hundreds of Japanese were killed in the battle.

"Sir, we have arrived at the Tsushima Strait, and a Japanese patrol boat has just spotted us!"

"Don't worry, the main force of the Japanese navy is not here!"

"Aren't they afraid that we will bombard the Japanese capital again?"

"Humph, they must have set up a trap in Kyoto Bay. They may not have many warships, but they definitely have plenty of coastal defense guns and mines!"

"Then we bombard coastal cities?"

"To avoid wasting time, only bombard a few important cities. Here! We must fire a few shots!" Leo pointed at Seto in Japan on the map and said sternly. At this time, Seto was an important industrial base of Japan. Attacking Seto would cause great losses to the Japanese economy.

The sound of cannons was deafening and Seto became a sea of ​​fire. It was because the Japanese people like wooden houses.

"Your Majesty, Seto was attacked!"

"Is it still that Drake man?" Emperor Kikuchi said lazily. It seemed that he didn't care about Seto's loss.

"Yes, Your Majesty! After attacking Seto, the Drake fleet continued to head east!"
