The Republic of China: A Letter of Appointment Creates the Most Powerful Warlord

Chapter 170: Heavy losses, requesting battle in the Central Plains

boom! !

In an instant, dense shells poured down like a torrential rain, each one carrying the power to destroy the world.

The shells that fell into the sea instantly stirred up huge waves tens of meters high. The surging waves were like a constantly rolling dragon, pouncing on the surrounding ships with its fangs and claws.

All the warships were shaken violently in the raging waves, like candles in the wind, which could capsize at any time.

The shells came one after another, forming a net of death that covered the entire fleet within a two-kilometer radius.

Although most of the shells fell into the sea, they did not cause devastating damage to them.

However, more than a dozen shells still successfully completed their mission and hit the three warships accurately.

When the shell hit the side of the warship, the powerful impact instantly tore through the protective armor.

One of the warships was particularly unlucky; a shell landed right on top of its deck.

At the moment of the explosion, extremely terrifying energy burst out instantly, directly detonating the ammunition depot of the main gun.

Immediately afterwards, a series of explosions produced a huge shock wave, and the entire warship was blown to pieces in the blink of an eye, turning into countless scattered fragments that sank into the bottomless sea.

"Speed ​​up, speed up, get out of this sea area quickly!!"

"Secondary guns ready! Don't panic, everyone! Everyone, get into battle order!"

After seeing the warship sink with his own eyes, Harun went completely insane. While screaming wildly at the top of his lungs, he kept calling on the soldiers on the ship to put out the fire.

During the last round of attack, the ship they were on was also hit by artillery fire. Although they were not hit head-on, the flames on the deck still scared many soldiers who had just joined the army.

"Keep the rudder hard to starboard, accelerate as fast as you can, and get out of this area first!"

Harun screamed desperately through the radio, trying to order the remaining warships to leave the dangerous bombing area as soon as possible.

However, before he could recover from the explosion, the monitoring radar sounded another shrill alarm.

When Harun saw the glaring red dot appear above the radar again, he completely lost the desire to resist and just kept urging them on, hoping to get as far away from the bombing center as possible before this wave of bombing.

The First Fleet is the empire's years of hard work, and it is an invincible existence that shines brightly in the waters of other countries. If all of it is destroyed in the waters of Daxia today, he will be ashamed to face the empire's cultivation and trust!

Woo! ! !

The familiar whimpering sound was like a death horn, releasing the call from hell on this vast sea.

On the deck, experienced veterans kept adjusting the angles of their secondary guns, trying to shoot down those threatening targets before the shells hit the ground.

Boom boom boom...

The second round of artillery shells carried endless power, and in the oncoming flames, it seemed as if a hideous demon was laughing.

Bang bang bang bang! ! !

Behind the warship, the anti-aircraft guns, urged by the soldiers, barely set up a crude fire net, desperately trying to block the shells that were about to fall on their heads.

ten minutes!

As long as they can hold on for ten minutes, they can leave this extremely dangerous bombing area.

Whoosh! !

The shells streaked across the night sky at high speed, dragging long flames straight towards the warship.

The soldiers operating the secondary guns quickly adjusted the angle, predicted the direction of the falling shells, and fired shells desperately to block them.

Bang, bang, bang! Boom!

After several consecutive bombardments, these young guys were really lucky and actually detonated a shell that was about to land in mid-air.

This result is like a powerful stimulant for them now, stimulating every depressed soldier.

It proved to everyone that even in a dead end, there is still a glimmer of hope for survival!

On the other side, Wells was already frightened by the overwhelming artillery attack. Like a headless fly, he ran to the warship's operations room in a panic, staring at the instrument panel that was still slowly accelerating, and kept urging.

"Hurry, hurry, get out of this damn sea!"

"Damn it! Where on earth did the Independence Army get their long-range artillery fire? It's a trap! It's all a trap!"

After such a severe blow, Wells's mind became a little abnormal, like a lunatic, and he no longer had his previous arrogance and pride.

"Shut up, you bastard! If it weren't for your stubbornness, how could the First Fleet have suffered such a devastating blow?"

Harun didn't want to listen to his chattering and howling anymore. His stern face was filled with hatred and anger. He stared at the nautical chart and threatened.

"Now, please shut up right now. If you dare to say another word of nonsense, I'll have you thrown into the sea!"

boom! !

A huge explosion sounded on their right. The panicked crowd saw through the window of the operations room very clearly that the destroyer on the right, which was carrying thousands of officers and soldiers, was directly sunk by the artillery shells and disappeared above the sea level.

"Asshole, asshole, you damn bastard!!"

Harun, who suffered another blow, could not bear the anger in his heart. He swung his fist and hit Wells in the side of the face, wishing he could kill this bastard right now!

If he had not acted on his own will without prior permission, how could the First Fleet have suffered such a huge loss?

The two warships were sunk as soon as they started fighting.

If you want to escape from this damn sea, you still have at least eight minutes!

Eight minutes was enough to launch more than five artillery attacks. Facing such dense and fierce artillery fire, Harun could not imagine what a terrible price the First Fleet would pay.

But he knew one thing, if there was really no way to survive and he had to die, before he died, he would definitely kill Wells and avenge his brothers!

……

In Jingshan County, the First Corps Headquarters was stationed right in Zhili Province.

As the commander-in-chief of the First Corps, He Wei still looked nonchalant, without a trace of the demeanor of a senior military officer. He and a group of staff members lay on the front line, holding up binoculars, observing for a while, and then sighed in disappointment.

"The Feng faction is truly hopeless. A year has passed, and they're still so weak. I can't even muster any desire to fight."

"Commander-in-Chief, our heavy armored brigade is invincible on land. Looking around the country, no one can withstand it. It is normal for the Feng faction to retreat."

The chief of staff said with a smile that he had expected this result.

After all, the last time in Wuyue, Feng's army of more than 100,000 was chased and attacked by a heavy armored brigade and had no power to fight back.

You have to know that only a year has passed. Not all forces have their own arsenals, and not every force has the ability to carry out independent research and development.

It's good enough that they can stabilize their troops and manage discipline. Do they want to improve their combat capabilities and update their equipment?

That depends on the mood of the foreigners. Only an obedient dog can get one or two bones.

"Stop fighting! Notify the First Army to halt their offensive and establish a defensive position!"

He Wei was a man who liked excitement. Seeing that there was no excitement in Zhili Province, he immediately prepared to turn his guns around and head straight for Zhongyuan Province.

"Send a telegram to headquarters: the Zhili Province border defense line has successfully advanced fifty kilometers. Since the Fengbei Army wants to compete with the Feng faction, we will leave the battlefield to them. The First Corps requests to fight in the Central Plains!"
