"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
Cannons flew out of Gaoxiong Harbor one after another and landed on the sea far away from Zhuge Qing's fleet. After the shells exploded, water pillars rose up one after another. The momentum was quite shocking.
Only a small portion of the shells landed around Zhuge Qing's fleet, causing the sea to surge. However, they could not cause any damage to Zhuge Qing's fleet!
A moment later, the 32 double-mounted 15-inch/42-caliber MKI main cannons on the four Queen Elizabeth class battleships began their second round of firing. A dense barrage of shells flew towards Gaoxiong Harbor.
In this round of bullets, a frigate was sunk on the spot, and a third-level battleship was hit on the side of the ship and exploded. Everyone on the ship threw themselves into the intense fire extinguishing, completely losing their combat ability.
As a result, only one second-class battleship and two frigates were still fighting. In contrast, their firepower had become even more insignificant.
"Phew!" "Phew!" "Hu!"
In the pitch-black night, flames came from the sea, covering the sky and covering the earth. The violent explosion and the soaring flames lit up the entire Gaoxiong.
Under the intense artillery fire, the two frigates exploded and sank to the bottom of the sea. Although the second-class battleship had been hit many times and was riddled with injuries, it still relied on its thick armor to resist.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
In the sixth volley, two huge shells hit the boiler and the ammunition room of the second-class battleship. The explosion caused a series of explosions, and the thick armor was destroyed. The hundreds of Japanese soldiers on the battleship were all torn to pieces by the shockwave!
"Japan's six warships stationed in Gaoxiong have all been sunk. Next, we can get closer and attack.”Zhuge Qing muttered to herself.
Thus, the fleet advanced another ten nautical miles and launched an attack on the cannons deployed on the coast of Gaoxiong.
"Boom!""Boom!" "Boom!"
This time, the 32 main cannons and 56 secondary cannons on the four Queen Elizabeth class battleships and the 12 cannons on the two frigates fired at the same time. In the first round of salvo, hundreds of shells turned the turret into a sea of fire.
"Too…too strong! It's too terrifying!" Everyone in the First Army of the Heavenly God Army was stunned. Their eyes were wide open, and their faces were filled with shock and joy.
What shocked them was that they had never seen such ferocious and terrifying firepower before. What made them happy was that with such a powerful fleet backing them up, wouldn't the counterattack on Bay Island be just around the corner?
Facing Zhuge Qing's fleet, the Japanese cannons on the coast of Gaoxiong retaliated. However, their accuracy was simply too poor, and they were unable to pose any real threat to Zhuge Qing's fleet.
After a few rounds of attacks, Zhuge Qing's fleet had destroyed more than half of the cannons on the coast of Gaoxiong, while his fleet had only been injured.
Fifteen minutes later, the cannons on the coast of Gaoxiong were completely silenced. They were completely unable to withstand the powerful artillery fire of Zhuge Qing's fleet. All of them were destroyed.
Next, Zhuge Qing's fleet changed their target and aimed their cannons at the defensive position of the Japanese army. In just half an hour, Zhuge Qing's fleet had fired more than 3000 artillery shells at the defensive position on the coast of Gaoxiong.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
Amidst the violent explosions and burning flames, the area near the coast of Kaoshih was completely reduced to ruins!
After the bombardment stopped, Zhuge Qing immediately ordered Jian Jinghua to lead the First Army of the Celestial Army to land on Gaoxiong. Under the cover of two frigates, five troop-carrying ships carrying 3000 soldiers landed on the coast of Gaoxiong.
However, Zhuge Qing didn't expect the 1st division of the Heavenly God Army to still face the Japanese army's resistance. The Japanese army had lost all their heavy weapons, but they relied on the guns and bayonet in their hands to engage in a fierce battle with the First Army of the Heavenly God Army.
The 1st division of the Heavenly God Army had suffered heavy losses. At this critical moment, Jian Jinghua and the 200 Black Flag Army soldiers who had been through hundreds of battles exploded with shocking combat strength. They were like sharp knives that pierced through the enemy's chest and tore through the Japanese defense line.
The Japanese army's defensive line was torn apart, and the soldiers of the 1st Army of the Heavenly God Army charged in like ferocious tigers. Just as Zhuge Qing had said, although they didn't have exquisite combat techniques, they had an endless hatred for the Japanese. This hatred allowed them to unleash unimaginable combat strength.
After more than three hours of fierce battle, the First Army of the Celestial Army successfully occupied Gaoxiong. Zhuge Qing also got her wish and planted the military flag in the center of Gaoxiong!
"Ding! Obtained a piece of territory, obtained 2952000 resources!”The system notification rang in Zhuge Qing's mind.
"Close to three million in resources, hahaha!”Zhuge Qing laughed maniacally. With so many resources, it was enough for him to build an invincible naval fleet.
However, he did not immediately exchange for a warship. Instead, he first returned to the " Queen Elizabeth " battleship and then extended his spirit into the " Peak Warship " system to carefully look at the various warships from World War II.
"Oh my god, these are all astronomical figures!”A moment later, a bitter smile appeared on Zhuge Qing's face.
Perhaps it was because of the materials used to build the warships, or perhaps it was because of the difference in technology, but the resources needed to exchange for a warship of the same weight during World War II were ten times more than the resources needed to exchange for a warship during World War I!
