Penghu Island, Magong City, Japan Army Headquarters.
" Lieutenant General, according to the news from our scout ships, almost all the islands, including Fisherman's Island, White Sand Island, and Hope Island, have been captured. All the soldiers of the Imperium who are stationed on those islands have pledged their loyalty to the country. The situation is extremely critical!”A 20-year-old Japanese soldier said with a pale face.
"What? All the islands were lost, and all the soldiers of the empire were loyal to the country?”A middle-aged military officer in his forties with a mustache shouted as his expression changed drastically.
"Yes, Lieutenant General." The Japanese soldier replied. "This news was just sent back. I immediately rushed over to report to you.”
"All the islands, more than 2000 soldiers of the Empire…Ah! Damn it! Who did it?" The expression on the middle-aged officer's face was twisted and ferocious, and it was especially terrifying.
"Lieutenant General, we don't know who the enemy is. We only know that they have two warships.”The Japanese soldier said. "Moreover, one of the warships is a battleship!”
"What? The enemy has a battleship?" Hearing this, the middle-aged officer couldn't help but gasp.
Battleships were the absolute overlords of the sea. Their terrifying firepower was enough to make anyone tremble in fear. But the problem was that battleships were extremely advanced weapons, and the number of countries in the world that could build them could be counted on one hand.
As far as he knew, only the Sun Never Sets Empire, the French Empire, the German Empire, the Russian Empire, the United States of America, and a few other countries could build it. As for the Asian region, only Japan and Russia had this ability.
Coincidentally, a serious conflict had broken out between the Russian Empire and Japan when they were fighting over the northeast of the Sui Empire. In addition to the recent incident of the three countries interfering with the return of Liao, the Russian Empire was a major suspect!
"Could it really be done by the Russian Empire?”The middle-aged officer gritted his teeth.
"Lieutenant General, bad news! The scout ship sent back news that there are four warships heading towards us!”All of a sudden, a Japanese soldier rushed in and reported in a panic.
"Prepare for battle! Everyone, prepare for battle!" The middle-aged officer roared.
" Wuwuwu!"
In an instant, the alarm of an enemy attack resounded throughout the entire Penghu Island. More than 1000 Japanese soldiers immediately ran into the forts and defensive positions. The three Japanese warships anchored near the coast also began to turn and aim their cannons at the distant sea.
Not long after, four warships appeared on the horizon in the distance. Two of the warships were especially huge. From afar, they looked like two deep-sea beasts, giving people an incomparable visual impact.
"These…these are two battleships! Furthermore, it was an existence that was far stronger and more terrifying than the battleships of the alliance fleet!”When the middle-aged officer saw the two huge warships, his face immediately turned red.
Compared to the middle-aged officer, the soldiers on the three Japanese warships were even more terrified. As part of the navy, they had a better understanding of the terror of battleships. Their three warships were not even enough to fill the gaps between their teeth when facing two battleships!
"Fire!" Zhuge Qing placed her hands behind her back and looked at the main island of Penghu with a cold gaze as she shouted in her heart.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
In an instant, the intense bombardment began. The 16 main cannons on the two Queen Elizabeth Class battleships fired at the same time, and 32 blazing flames tore through the air as they roared towards the three Japanese warships.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
A moment later, the cannonballs rained down, accompanied by violent explosions. Water pillars shot into the sky one after another, creating a spectacular scene.
The sea was churning violently, and the three Japanese warships were like leaves swaying in the wind and rain. They were in danger of capsizing at any moment!
The first round of salvo missed, but Zhuge Qing was not surprised. After all, the " Queen Elizabeth Class " battleship was a product of the First World War, so its accuracy was not high.
Not long after, the 3 Japanese warships and the cannons on the shore launched a counterattack, firing countless artillery shells into the sea. However, their shooting range was too short. When they were a few miles away from Zhuge Qing's fleet, they all fell into the sea.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
The second round of salvos began, and the 16 main cannons fired once more. 32 shells weaved into a dense net of fire, smashing down on the 3 Japanese warships.
"Boom!"
This time, the Japanese warships weren't so lucky. One of the warships was hit by an artillery shell and the boiler exploded at the same time, tearing the warship into pieces. The 100 Japanese soldiers on the warship died on the spot!
The other two Japanese warships were terrified. They did not dare to continue fighting and turned to flee the battlefield. However, how could Zhuge Qing let them go?
After a few rounds of bombardment, Zhuge Qing sent the two Japanese warships to the bottom of the sea, and he obtained more than 8000 resources as he wished!
After taking care of the three Japanese warships, Zhuge Qing had no more worries. He started to approach Penghu and used the two Queen Elizabeth battleships and the two frigates to fire the 16 main cannons and 38 sub-cannons at the forts and defensive positions on Penghu.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
Violent explosions continued, and balls of blazing flames soared into the sky. In an instant, the cannons and defensive positions on Penghu Island were turned into a sea of fire!
