In the dark and cold night, the Japanese torpedoes were like giant black fish, passing through the gaps of the interception net and quietly sneaking into Liugong Island.
Other than the Kitty Hawk, which was at the rear, there were a total of 22 other torpedo-boats. Their numbers were 1-20, 21, and 22. These torpedo-boats entered the gap in a single file.
The Torpedo Boats were divided into three teams. The first team was commanded by Captain Suzuki Kantaro, the captain of Torpedo Boat No. 6, and the second team was commanded by Captain Mitsui, the captain of Torpedo Boat No. 11.
The last team was led by Sakurai, the former captain of the Hiri, who was piloting the latest model of the Kitty Hawk. The soldiers led the number 21 and 22 torpedoes at the back.
The Kittyhawk was 50 meters long and was the most powerful submarine in the Japanese Combined Fleet. It was equipped with four 356mm torpedoes.
At this moment, in the narrow cabin, Sakurai's eyes were spewing fire as he glared at the dark night.
"General, you don't have to take such a risk.”The adjutant sighed.
"Lord Surume-kun, my heart has already sunk with the Hiri! Tonight, I will take revenge for my fallen comrades and sink the ship."
Sakurai roared hysterically.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Beams of light pierced through the darkness like sharp swords.
Yang Yonglin exchanged 60 high-powered searchlights from the system and lit up the entire Liugong Island's mouth as if it was daytime.
More than 20 Japanese Torpedo Boats were all exposed under the dazzling lights, like a group of naked children exposed on the beach.
"No, retreat!"
Sakurai roared and turned the steering wheel.
Rumble!
Three Earth Trap Cannons suddenly emerged from the protective well on the Sun Island. The black muzzles opened fire fiercely, firing a total of twenty shells in a minute!
The Kitty Hawk fired seven shells in two minutes, causing a series of explosions. It was like a fish struggling in a sea of fire.
Before Sakurai could put out the fire, his head was hit by a shrapnel. However, the bloody corpse was still standing upright. This terrifying scene caused the Japanese soldiers in the cabin to panic.
However, their panic did not last long!
As a large amount of cold seawater poured into the cabin, the Kitty Hawk sank very quickly.
This sinking brought disaster to the torpedoes in front!
The Torpedo Boats in front of them turned around and tried to escape from the mouth of the sea. However, the Kitty Hawk sank in the shallow water, making the passage narrow. The Torpedo Boats that fled in panic became the target of the coastal defense artillery of Liugong Island.
Seven, eight, nine, and ten sank one after another!
They were like dead fish with their stomachs turned upside down and sank into the cold sea.
The lives of these sailors from the main island of Japan, along with their fanatical dreams of loyalty to the Emperor, were swallowed by the cold sea.
"Everyone, increase the intensity of the artillery bombardment and attract the firepower of Liu Gongdao!”
On the north side of Liugong Island, Yi Dong sensed something was wrong. His mouth twitched uneasily. He commanded the eight main-force warships, including Qiao Li, Yan Dao, Qiu Jin Zhou, and Lang Su, to line up and shoot at Liugong Island.
Surprisingly, the artillery fire on the north shore of Liugong Island was not intense. It was only during the intervals when the Japanese soldiers fired their cannons that a dozen coastal defense cannons fired back symbolically.
The north side of Liugong Island was pitch black, and the searchlights were not turned on.
Ito's eight main-force ships, which had a total of more than a hundred rapid-fire cannons, were firing wildly at the pitch-black night sky, exposing their positions instead. They were almost hit by the cannonballs several times.
"What a cunning Yang Yonglin. His target is our Torpedo Boat Unit!”Ito broke out in a cold sweat at the thought of this. He immediately ordered the fleet to turn around.
The straight line fleet turned and turned around!
The moment the Qiaoli turned around, a dozen searchlights on the north side of Liugong Island suddenly lit up.
With the help of the light, Ito caught a glimpse of a huge ship standing proudly on the surface of the ocean. It was the ship that he had always wanted to sink.
"The Faraway Suppression Ship? How is this possible?"
Ito felt his scalp go numb. He ordered the warship to turn around at full speed and face the enemy ship in a straight line.
After all, most of the rapid-fire cannons on the Japanese warships were installed on the hull of the ship. Only when facing the enemy horizontally could the power of the warship be fully displayed.
It was too late!
Under the searchlight, the Hashi was clearly seen by the Zhenyuan warship. With the help of the high-power rangefinder, Yang Yonglin personally controlled the double 305mm Krupp main cannon to fire.
The fiery red cannonball pierced through the dark night sky, leaving behind a dazzling light and shadow, as if the entire ocean was shouting for it.
Boom!
The cannon shot hit the armor of the Hashi, sending a fireball into the air.
A large hole appeared in the hull of the ship, and cold seawater surged in crazily. Fortunately, the third officer, Matsumoto Ichiro, was experienced and immediately led the sailors to plug the blockage.
The rest of the ironclads surrounded the ship from all directions and bombarded it.
It had to be said that the rapid-fire cannons of the Japanese army were fierce.
A few shells hit the ship, but the ship's armor had an astonishing defensive power. With the modification of the system, its defensive power had more than doubled.
The shells of the Japanese fleet did not cause any substantial damage to the ship.
"Charge up and sink it!"
Ito brandished his sword and ordered.
Wave Speed and Qiujinzhou sped away, trying to use the wolf pack tactic to surround the ship. At this moment, a small gunboat appeared behind the ship.
This was a Guang-C warship with a displacement of only a little over 1,000 tons. However, after the system modification, it was equipped with four 150mm rapid-fire cannons. It was hidden in the dark and took the opportunity to fire.
The Japanese warship Akijinshu was caught off guard and was hit by a shot on the port side. The ship shook violently a few times and withdrew from the battle.
