Thick black smoke rose from the chimneys, and the Okinawa defenders threw out surface ships.
The destroyers "Dongyue" and "Liuzue" started their engines and launched an accelerated attack from the shelter on the shore to the landing area.
Nearly a hundred soldiers quickly removed their camouflage so that artillery and torpedo tubes could be aimed at the landing zone more than ten kilometers away. The US military would definitely find the sudden appearance of the warship and launch firepower projection, but there was absolutely no way to sink it in a short time.
"Japanese warship! Japanese warship!"
Huge black smoke floated on the sea, and US military observers and patrolling reconnaissance aircraft discovered the target almost simultaneously.
At the same time that the US fleet commander issued an order to launch a naval gun attack, the front main guns of the "Dongyue" and "Liangyue" had already taken the lead in firing shells towards the landing craft formation still moving forward on the sea.
"Boom! Boom!"
One after another, 127 mm armor-piercing explosive shells were fired at the target. Two landing crafts filled with forty U.S. soldiers turned into splashing metal fragments in the blink of an eye. The broken bodies of the soldiers floated on the sea in patches of red water.
"Target hit! Torpedo shot!"
Type 93 torpedoes roared out of the launch tube and rushed towards several large tank landing ships ten kilometers away.
The densely packed targets are in the direction of the torpedoes. Even if the warship in front can avoid the torpedo attack, the warship behind will face a fatal attack.
"Reload! Reload! There is still one chance to attack!"
The shells fired by the US military exploded near the two Japanese destroyers, and the water column rose high.
The Japanese fleet commander did not mind the incoming ammunition and focused on the landing fleet in the distance. Every time he fired more than a dozen shells, just one hit could kill dozens of American soldiers.
"Hmmthis group of American soldiers is miserable."
Fang Tianlang was hiding in the trench, surrounded by several naval commanders.
Every time the two destroyers fired shells to destroy the landing craft, they would hear cheers from beside them.
The faster the destroyer attacks, the closer it is to the target, and the natural hit rate will increase accordingly. The densely packed seventy or eighty landing craft in front of you, plus the landing ships farther away, are all high-value targets worth attacking.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A large landing ship twenty kilometers away was hit by a torpedo and sank instantly. Less than ten seconds apart, another landing ship and a frigate two hundred meters to the side and rear were also hit by a direct torpedo, causing a horrific explosion. boom.
The two destroyers each fired eight Type 93 torpedoes. Sixteen torpedoes hit three large warships and killed nearly 400 US soldiers. It was an absolutely excellent attack effect.
The Japanese destroyer continued to charge forward, and the shells fired wildly by the US military finally exploded on the hull.
Thick smoke rose, and a strong smell of blood wafted from the Japanese destroyer.
All soldiers are still working hard to fire ammunition to attack targets close at hand. The twin 25mm anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns with flat barrels and a long burst of fire at the sea can blow up a landing craft, which is even more effective than the main gun.
Landing craft sank one after another, and the fragmented bodies of American soldiers floated on the sea.
The two Japanese warships were hit by more than a dozen artillery shells fired by the US military, and they continued to launch ammunition and even depth charges used to attack submarines.
"Boom!"
"Liangyue" destroyer's ammunition depot suddenly exploded, huge fireworks erupted from the middle of the ship's hull, and the entire warship immediately lost power and rippled on the sea, no longer able to fire ammunition to carry out attacks.
¡¡
"We are all warriors of the empire!"
The sea finally returned to calm, and the half-hour naval battle ended with two Japanese destroyers sinking to the bottom of the sea.
It is an extremely reasonable scene for more than a hundred sailors and soldiers to dive into the water and be captured by a US warship. Fang Tianlang strictly prohibited soldiers from coexisting with the warship. Those who were captured could exchange prisoners of war and then pick up weapons to continue fighting.
¡°Is the battle report out yet?!¡±
Fang Tianlang sat on a rock and walked quickly past a combat staff officer a few meters away.
"Come out, based on the statistics from the four observation posts. A total of four large landing ships, one destroyer, two frigates, and more than fifty landing craft of various types were sunk. In addition, about two hundred 127mm artillery shells were fired in the direction of the beach. "
"Very good! Send a report to the US military and conduct a prisoner exchange, one person for another."
"In exchange for one of our soldiers, we can kill and injure at least two US soldiers. This is a reasonable exchange."
"Hi"??¡±
The Okinawa defenders sent a prisoner exchange request to the US military, and the US military responded immediately.
The fact that both sides were able to refrain from killing their opponents' soldiers allowed a hint of humanity to appear in the war.
Although the purpose of the Okinawa garrison is to allow the returning soldiers to continue fighting and kill more opponents, they always allow the soldiers to put down their weapons when they are desperate without making meaningless resistance.
Three medium-sized landing ships arrived at a beach that was not affected by the war.
One hundred and forty-seven Japanese soldiers who had just been captured lined up out of the cabin and stood on the beach. A hundred meters away, the released American prisoners of war kept waving their arms at the landing ship.
¡°A perfect battle, the two destroyers fought against the US fleet on the sea and at most shot down a few aircraft.¡±
"Using this method can kill about 2,000 to 3,000 US soldiers and get back so many soldiers. Form a squadron and have a good rest. There will be fighting opportunities later."
Fang Tianlang put down his telescope, and the exchange of more than a hundred soldiers not only increased the combat effectiveness, but also inspired the remaining soldiers.
There are still six destroyers, one cruiser and the "Yamato" still standing around the entire island of Okinawa. The intensive rapid fire of artillery may not necessarily add a deep wound to the US military at any time.
"This is indeed the best way to attack! The previous idea was absolutely wrong!"
A naval commander bowed his head deeply. Too many battleships in the Japanese Navy were used up meaninglessly.
¡°If those large warships that were sunk before could hide in the offshore during the battle for various islands and then suddenly burst out fire to kill the US landing troops, more US soldiers would lose their lives.
"It doesn't matter, it's not too late to understand this tactic now. The navy is the backbone of Okinawa!"
Fang Tianlang patted the naval commander on the shoulder.
The large battleships sunk by benzene will never appear on the sea. They are just memories.
"Wait for the opportunity, drop two warships at a time, and attack at the right time. The same goes for the submarine force. It does not necessarily have to attack large warships. A landing craft carries about thirty soldiers. Sinking one is equivalent to erasing two A small team, let¡¯s work hard!¡±
Fang Tianlang touched his hungry stomach and turned to leave the Supreme Command Center.
¡°Have a good meal and then go for a spin near the front. I haven¡¯t practiced marksmanship for a long time. It¡¯s better to find a safe position and shoot hundreds of bullets to maintain the level of a ¡°gunslinger¡±. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
