"Discover Japanese warships and discover Japanese warships"... On the East China Sea, several offshore search ships of the Iron Blood Army quickly cruised on the sea, looking for Japanese warships.

After two days of voyage, Japanese warships have also arrived in the East China Sea and are preparing to attack the ports of the Jiangsu and Anhui government.

"Immediately generate electricity to the military port, inform the situation, and closely monitor the Japanese warships." After receiving the report from the Biao Wangshou, the captain of the search ship immediately ordered the radio to send a telegram.

"Baga! The Chinese warships were discovered." At this time, the destroyers of the Japanese fleet also discovered the Iron Blood Army warships used for exploration, and immediately sounded the alarm. Then the two destroyers rushed towards the search ship.

The commander of the "retreat" search ship saw the Japanese destroyer coming and immediately ordered the warship to retreat. Unarmed, they had no capital to compete with any Japanese warships. After all, they were just 700-ton small ships.

"Eight. Summer runs so fast..." The search ship with a speed of more than 30 knots per hour is not something that Japanese warships can catch, so just ten minutes later, the two Japanese destroyers had already returned.

〖Japan〗The combined fleet of Japan sent a fleet of six battleships or battlecruisers and eighteen-success cruisers to attack three ports of the Jiangsu and Anhui government in three groups.

The first group of destinations in Lianyungang consists of the Heran battleship, the Angle Horse battleship, and six cruisers and ten destroyers.

The second group is aimed at Shanghai, consisting of the Battlecruiser of the King Kong, the Battleship of the Zhubo, six cruisers and ten destroyers.

The third group is the Japanese fleet targeting Jakarta, consisting of the battleship of the Sezu, the Ibuki battleship, six cruisers and ten destroyers.

Its total tonnage is as high as more than 200,000, almost shocking the world.

"The timid Chinese! They can only use despicable methods to ambush our imperial navy. They have a real war on the sea. They do not have the ability." All Japanese naval officers were very angry about the ambush by the Su-Anhui government, but they could only use shelling ports to retaliate because after the war, the Su-Anhui government immediately shrank all maritime ships, including civilian ships.

On the sea, three Japanese fleets were slashing the waves, and the fleet led by the target's battleship Neihe, which was recently headed to Lianyungang.

More than fifty large and small fortresses are working intensively at Lianyungang Port, Liandao and Lushan shore defense positions.

"Transfer ammunition, hurry up" The Japanese fleet was discovered forty nautical miles away from the port, and now the entire Lianyungang is in a state of intense combat.

All the twenty turrets built on Liandao were ready to fire at any time, and the turrets on the main road were loading ammunition.

A harsh alarm sounded throughout Lianyungang, and merchants in the port hid in one after another as if a storm was about to come.

On the Indochina warship, Japanese Lieutenant General Koga Ichimoto watched the fleet advance, and everyone thought it was an easy task.

A fleet of eighteen warships slowly moved forward, three destroyers heading to explore the way, getting closer and closer to Lianyungang North Port.

On the destroyer, the Japanese officers and soldiers seemed to be very relaxed and there was no anger on the battlefield. Some of them were even humming Japanese songs softly.

"I found that the Japanese warships have entered the range and can shoot!" On the island of Liandao, there are twelve turrets, two 356mm caliber shore defense guns, four 305mm shore defense guns, and six 150

There are still so many shore defense artillery on the other side of the harbor, and a 406mm shore defense artillery has been discovered in Liandao. The hidden shore defense artillery is ready to be bombarded.

The shore defense cannon not only requires the ability to sink the warships, but also withstand the attacks of enemy naval guns. Therefore, all artillery fire fortifications are built semi-underground, and all steel and cement structures can move up and down using tracks.

"Aim at the target! Get ready to shoot!" Zhu Feng, commander of Liandao coast defense position, is a graduate of the crash class of the artillery department of the military academy. The military-ranked colonel has always been among the top in the routine artillery training, but at this time, he also felt heavy pressure from the Japanese warships.

"Report Commander, the No. 1 gun position has been aimed..." "Report Commander, the No. 2 gun position has been aimed..." "Report Commander..."

As the aiming order was issued, reports came from turrets.

"Shooting" raised the command knife high, Zhu Feng shook it hard, and then ordered loudly.

"Bang bang bang" As the command knife fell, all the twelve turbulent roars were made. Large-caliber coastal defense cannons were much stronger than the naval artillery of the same caliber, 405mm alone

The shells of the shore defense cannon weigh more than 400 kilograms, and you can imagine how powerful it is.

"Baga, the sound of cannons" The sound of the giant cannons was heard for dozens or hundreds of miles. Kazuichen on the sea immediately heard that this was the sound of the shore defense cannons, and his face changed immediately after hearing it.

"Order the fleet to search for its shore defense positions! Be careful of artillery fire!" Heavy artillery, shore defense heavy artillery, these types of artillery will have the upper hand even when facing battleships.

"Boom" Just as Kazuko Koga was preparing to search for the shore defense positions, the three destroyers in the front of the Japanese fleet were instantly covered by artillery fire, and bursts of explosions were heard... flames soaring into the sky.

The three destroyers in front of the "Baga" were instantly fired into torches. In front of the heavy artillery, the weak armored destroyers could not bear a few strokes. It was also because of this sudden explosion that the Japanese warships became cautious in an instant.

"Your Excellency Commander,! The Chinese artillery is in the north of that island!" The Japanese Navy observed the trajectory of the artillery fire and determined that the artillery fire came from the north of the island.

"Baga! Order the fleet to advance and cover it with firepower!" Knowing where the opponent's shore defense artillery was, Kazuko Koga immediately ordered the navy to advance and prepare to launch a shelling attack on it.

"Fire the gun" the Japanese army once again reached the range, the shore defense cannon immediately fired for a second time, and the twelve cannons spewed out flames again.

"Boom" the six destroyers and two battleships have already adjusted their positions at this time, and they are also shooting at the shore defense artillery positions.

"Boom boom" explosion sounded, and a Japanese cruiser was hit by a 356mm shore defense artillery shell, and was instantly blown out a huge hole. The sea water hit and slowly sank. The sailors on it immediately jumped into the sea and swam desperately towards the adjacent battleship.

At this time, the Japanese artillery fire had already covered the entire shore defense position.

"Doing" All the shore defense artillery soldiers squatted down or lay on the ground to hide.

"Boom" one round of shells fell without a clear head, blew up the soil and protective trees around the shore defense cannons, and one round of shells fell straight onto a fortification.

"Boom" shells bombarded the defense wall of the concrete fortifications, and the violent explosion shocked the entire artillery fortifications. The artillery soldiers behind them blocked their ears, and some were even shocked to hit the ground.

"Loading, loading quickly" After the Japanese naval artillery shelling, the commanders of the shore artillery positions immediately commanded that they were transported to install ammunition.

The shells of the "quick and force" shore defense cannons are all large shells, which can't be handled by one person at all. In addition, entering the cannon bore, you need to use manpower to push them from the slide pole, and be careful.

The "bang" shell was sent into the barrel. After rough aiming, the commanders immediately issued an order to fire the artillery.

So waves of smoke floated over the North Island again.

"Avoid" Seeing the opponent's artillery position open fire, the Japanese warships immediately dodged, and these artillery would kill them!

"Boom" the shore defense cannons set off huge waves on the sea, but the shore defense cannons are too bulky after all, and they are easily avoided by the opponent when bombarding.

But there are still unlucky things!

A Japanese 5,000-ton cruiser was accidentally evaded by two 305mm

The shells hit, and they were blown up in an instant, with the stern tilted and the sea water poured in. Their defense was too poor.

Like the Japanese battleship Inuikawa, the Uchiha battleship, was also attacked by two artillery shells, only losing one secondary gun.

"Good fight!" Zhu Feng shouted excitedly as he watched the shells destroy another Japanese warship, but in just a moment he exclaimed.

"1 Be careful of artillery bombardment" As expected, before the words were finished, more than a dozen Japanese naval warships on the sea surface emerged from white dust, and dozens of artillery ports attacked.

"Boom..."

"Ahhh" screams one after another, and the near-guard coastal defense artillery had been leaked. Therefore, this time the Japanese army's artillery accuracy increased. Two shore defense fortifications were hit, and one of them was hit by a heavy artillery on the Japanese ship-borne 305mm caliber artillery and detonated the launching medicine, which instantly became a piece of gravel. One of the artillery teams on it did not even have time to scream, and they were completely lost with the artillery fire.

The same is true for another turret. It was a 150-caliber coastal defense cannon, which was directly hit by a large-caliber ship cannon and instantly restored to a pile of scrap iron. However, this is also a coincidence, otherwise the Japanese artillery would not have hit the shore defense cannon in the cover.

"Lieutenant Colonel! We have two artillery fortifications damaged!" Just as we got up, a soldier came running around us. Zhu Feng looked in the direction he pointed, and saw that the two fortifications were smoke coming out, and it was obviously finished!

"Recharge immediately and prepare to shoot." He didn't care about the dust on his body, and Zhu Feng ignored the two destroyed turrets. It was not that time now.

Both sides are racing against time. Neither side has much advantage in land and sea battles. The land turret is fixed, but there are fortifications, so it is difficult for naval artillery to be fired. But the same is true for warships. The warships have more artillery than shore defense artillery, but there is no cover, so both sides are considered to be half a dozen.

The artillery battle continued, and the two sides went back and forth. After an hour and a half, only five of the twelve turrets in the shore defense position were left, and the Japanese army sank four cruisers for this, but they didn't know that the real main force was not here.

In Lianyun Port, a huge cannon was slowly operating in a large rocky building. A reconnaissance balloon above it was singing flags at it, and the muzzle was slowly operating. Finally, a huge cannon shell was transported into the cannon chamber.
