Rumble! Rumble!
Amidst the deafening roar of their engines, 12 huge battleships slowly approached from the sea, exuding a hair-raising aura and oppression.
The " Iowa-class " battleship was the super battleship with the longest hull, the highest engine power, the highest speed, the strongest firepower, and the thickest defensive armor during World War II.
Its combat power was extremely terrifying. It was equipped with a total of 9 triple Mk. 7406mm/50x caliber main guns, 20 double 127mm/38x caliber dual-purpose guns, 80 quadruple Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft guns, and 60 Oerlikon 20mm anti-aircraft guns. A total of 169 cannons.
The firepower of a single warship surpassed that of an artillery division during World War II. It was terrifying!
Zhuge Qing had exchanged for a total of 12 Iowa-class battleships. If they were to move out together, wouldn't it be easy for them to wipe out the remaining Japanese fleet?
"Lord Heavenly God, is the battle over?”Jian Tuyan leaned into Zhuge Qing's arms and said softly.
"Tuyan, how did you know?" Zhuge Qing smiled and asked.
"Lord Heavenly God, the expression on your face has suddenly become relaxed.”Jian Tuyan replied.
"Tu Yan, you are really too smart.”Zhuge Qing said. "However, the battle is far from over.”
"Lord Heavenly God, could it be that Japan has reinforcements?”Jian Tuyan asked in surprise.
"No, I want to send a fleet to Japan.”Zhuge Qing said indifferently. "It is impolite not to reciprocate. Since Japan can send a fleet to our Bay Island, why can't we send a warship to Japan?”
After Zhuge Qing gave the order, the 1st Division of the 1st Division of the 1st

Sasebo was located in Nagasaki Prefecture, northwest of Kyushu Island in Japan. It was the traffic hub between the Yellow Sea and the East Ocean. It held the throat of the Goryeo Strait and was also Japan's forward base to the Asian continent.
After the Meiji Restoration, Japan's national strength gradually became stronger. It spent a lot of money to build Sasebo into a naval base. Not only did this place store a large amount of military supplies, but there were also some military industries related to ships. It was an important military base for Japan.
Due to various reasons, Zhuge Qing chose this place as the battlefield for the first battle.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
Twenty nautical miles away, the 128 main cannons of the 16 Queen Elizabeth class battleships launched a fierce attack on the Sasebo military port.
In an instant, a violent explosion resounded throughout the entire Sasebo military base. Huge flames soared into the sky, illuminating half of the city in an instant.
In the powerful explosion shock wave, the twelve warships in the Sasebo Military Port were immediately buried in the sea of fire. Seven smaller torpedoes were instantly blown into pieces, and the other four armored coastal defense ships were also blown into several pieces. They flew up several meters into the air under the terrifying shock wave, then smashed into the water and sank to the bottom of the sea.
With a single volley of artillery fire, all the Japanese warships in the Sasebo Military Port were destroyed!
Immediately after, the Pacific Fleet closed in on Sasebo about ten nautical miles away. 16 " Queen Elizabeth " battleships and 15 cruisers opened fire at the same time. Hundreds of shells smashed fiercely at Sasebo's turrets and defensive positions.
In the next moment, the cannons and defensive positions of the Sasebo Navy Base were engulfed in a sea of fire. Amid the violent explosions, cannons were sent flying from the turrets one after another. They were as fragile as delicate porcelain and disintegrated under the gunfire.
"Ah!" "Ah!" "Ah!"
Screams that sounded like pigs being slaughtered rang out continuously. Before the Japanese soldiers stationed at the Sasebo naval base knew what was going on, hundreds and thousands of them had died tragically!
The sudden bombardment of artillery immediately caused the Japanese soldiers stationed in the Sasebo naval base to be in a daze. All the troops were in a mess, and everyone panicked and ran around without any order.
"Plop!" "Plop!" Plop!
Amid this terrifying chaos, powerful artillery shells exploded on the ground one after another. Each explosion took at least dozens of lives. The Japanese soldiers were like wheat being harvested, their corpses falling to the ground.
Fresh blood flowed out of the corpses and quickly dyed the ground red. It was a shocking sight!
"Ah! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"Counterattack! Immediately counterattack!"
"Quickly enter the formation! Whoever dares to escape will be killed without mercy!"
"Kill the chicken, give, give!"
After the Japanese soldiers in the Sasebo naval base paid the heavy price of over a thousand deaths, some high-ranking officers finally reacted. They held their guns in one hand and roared at the fleeing Japanese soldiers.
Under the threat of the black muzzles, the escaping Japanese soldiers turned back. They charged into their own defensive positions and began to counterattack the Pacific Fleet on the sea. However, the defensive position had already been destroyed, and there were not many usable cannons left.
They used the few remaining cannons to fire at the sea. Not only did they not pose any threat to the Pacific Fleet, but they also exposed their position. They were immediately covered by hundreds of shells and turned into ashes!
