Another World: Naval Storm

"How did the Empire wrong that Drake? Why does it always target us?" Emperor Kikuchi felt helpless about Leo's repeated attacks on the Japanese mainland.

"Um... maybe... he's mentally ill!" The current Prime Minister of Japan, Terajichi Ichi, was not sure. After all, the Drak people were sometimes really crazy. The former Prime Minister of Japan, Ito Hirobumi, had died of cancer and was unable to witness this world war.

"Let the defense forces in Kyoto Bay stay alert. After all, the Drakes are elusive and may come to bombard Kyoto!"

"Your Majesty, everything has been arranged. If you come, you will be killed without a burial place!" Tamagegen Jitaro issued a military order to the emperor.

"That's good. Qifeng is about to be conquered, and the empire will have a good place again!" Emperor Kikuchi only thought about the benefits that were about to be obtained, but did not see the residents of Seto who were struggling in pain. Even if he saw them, he might not care.

"No, we must fight back!" Governor Maier knew that if they defended too long, they would lose, so they had to fight back! About 70 Drake soldiers received the order to launch an attack from the front and side of the Japanese position.

A machine gun squad of the Drak Army carried two heavy machine guns and fired fiercely at the top of Sifang Mountain to cover the infantry charge. Unfortunately, the Japanese army had already deployed defenses on the mountain, and the Drak soldiers who rushed up were repelled. With too few troops, they had no choice but to retreat and join other Drak troops.

The Drak's heavy machine guns had been trying to fire at Sifang Mountain. The 12 Drak field guns deployed on the east side of Taitung Town also began to fire at the Japanese troops on Sifang Mountain, but due to the long distance, the Japanese suffered few casualties.

To prevent the Drake army from launching a night attack, the Japanese army command sent an infantry squad and a heavy machine gun squad to support the Japanese army guarding Sifang Mountain.

"Your guess is correct, the Drake people are really here!" In the military tent at the foot of the mountain, a staff officer complimented Hirata, the captain of the 48th Regiment of the Japanese Army.

"The Drakes' artillery fire is even more intense. Order the reserve troops to support Sifang Mountain after the bombardment ends.

At about 8 o'clock in the evening, the field artillery positions of Drake began to fiercely bombard the 54-meter-high ground of Sifang Mountain. Later, they turned their guns to fire at the surrounding areas of the mountain.

"Sergeant, look!" said the Japanese soldier in the trench, pointing to the front of the position.

"Hiss~ The Drake people are coming, wait until they get closer before shooting!" The loaded rifle was aimed at the swaying shadow in front.

The Japanese army discovered that there were about 70 German troops at the front of their position, slowly approaching Sifang Mountain where they were stationed.

"Open fire!" Flames burst out from Japan's light and heavy firepower at the same time.

When Drake's army was about 200 meters away from the Japanese position, the Japanese suddenly fired fiercely. Drake's army found themselves exposed and immediately dispersed and fought back.

At 9:30, another Drake unit attacked the left side of the Japanese position from another direction and quickly rushed to within five or six meters of the position, but the Japanese reacted quickly and forced the Drake troops back with a volley of gunfire.

After that, the Drakes attacked for more than ten minutes, and then withdrew when they saw that the situation was irresistible. Their retreat left the Drake troops who were engaged in the frontal fire alone.

When Hirata's reinforcements arrived, the Drakes' attack was completely defeated. Then the defenses of Shifang Mountain were strengthened, and the Drakes were no longer able to attack it.

After breaking through the outer defense line of Qifeng, the Japanese army advanced into the urban area of ​​Qifeng. The last line of defense of the Drak defenders consisted of five large fortresses. Once this line of defense was breached, the Drak people had no choice but to surrender.

"Your Majesty, Governor Meyer has sent a message that he will fight to the end!" The aide-de-camp told the telegram to the recently haggard Emperor Drake.

"I understand, go away!" Emperor William locked himself in his bedroom and prayed for his ministers.

"Quiet! No sound! Slowly move forward!" A Japanese officer said as he blocked his mouth with a piece of cloth. Around him, every Japanese soldier in sight had their mouths covered with a piece of white cloth and their feet were also wrapped with cloth.

The Japanese troops attacking the central fortress of the Drakes quietly came to the front of the outer trench and cut a huge gap in the barbed wire. However, they were discovered by the Drakes immediately and had to cut another gap in the barbed wire of the inner trench under the machine gun fire of the Drakes' fortress.

The troops used explosives to blow down the outer moat of the fortress, while opening up huge passages in two directions for the infantry assault teams to charge.

"Report, the attack channel has been opened!"

"Time waits for no one, attack!" The Japanese commander thought now was a good time.

The high-intensity fighting made the Drake defenders tired and depressed. Under the cover of heavy machine guns, the Japanese soldiers destroyed the barbed wire in the outer trench in many places. The preparations before the attack were ready.

Governor Meyer, who was stationed in the rear, also noticed the Japanese intention to attack the central fortress. Starting at night, the rear artillery of the Drake Army bombarded the attack position of the Japanese central group in an attempt to stop the Japanese attack, but the effect was not great.

The Japanese artillery group began to bombard, and under the cover of the artillery sound, the Japanese army began to attack. The careless Drake people thought it was just a routine bombardment, until the Japanese soldiers approached 50 meters, they discovered the sneak attack of the Japanese army. The panicked Drake soldiers immediately attacked with machine guns, but the Japanese army had already come up, and they rushed forward on the corpses, so the Drake soldiers had to retreat to the depths of the fortress to resist stubbornly.

"Surrender! Your battle is over!"

"The Empire will give you the treatment you deserve!" This is what the Japanese people are shouting, hoping that the Drakes inside will surrender.

"Yes, come out quickly, I have prepared coffee and sausages!" The Talen people also came to join in the fun.

After a moment's silence in the fortress, the commander of the garrison decided to lay down his arms.

"Well, the game is over! I hope Leo can bring some surprises to the empire!" Governor Meyer lay back on the backrest in dejection.

"Sir, Qifeng has fallen!" Dawson hurriedly came to report with a telegram.

"This was expected, wasn't it?" Leo was very calm. Only those with a heart of stone can live longer.

He had just finished shelling Vladivostok, a place he had visited a few years before the war, but now he was showing no mercy.

The Rakshasa fleet guarding here has not recovered yet. After Leo's attack, it lost several cruisers and other small warships.

"Quickly cross the Soya Strait. There is nothing here worth staying for!"

Leo then led the fleet to German Samoa, and then continued eastward to bombard Papeete in French Polynesia. As long as he encountered hostile ports and ships on the route, Leo would not hesitate to use shells as long as it did not affect the speed. After all, merchant ships are also ships. Although they have few merit points, they are still a piece of meat.
