Age of Conquest Reborn

The sky was full of meteor showers, trailing bright tail flames, lighting up the sky before dawn. The ships transporting the Japanese troops were all unarmed civilian ships. Faced with such intensive artillery fire, there was no way to fight back, and

, civilian ships have no armor at all, and the protection is basically blank.

The rockets fell on the civilian ship, and the bodies of the Japanese soldiers were thrown high. The civilian ship only had such a big space, and there was no place to hide. The Japanese soldiers held the weapons in their hands, shouting and howling in despair, and looked

As the rockets flying all over the sky rained down, many Japanese soldiers jumped into the sea in confusion in order to escape the deadly rain of bullets. However, the rockets covering all directions exploded in rows on the sea.

Water columns soaring into the sky.

The Japanese soldiers who jumped into the sea could not avoid the rocket attacks. The blue water was dyed slightly red by the blood of the Japanese soldiers. Colonel Sasaki was not so lucky this time. The civilian ship he was on boarded in the first place.

Under the attack of rounds of artillery fire, it was blown into pieces. His Excellency the Colonel and the civilian ship were turned into pieces in the surging waves of the Malacca Strait.

Lieutenant General Shinno, commander of the Fifth Army of Japan's Southwest Pacific Expeditionary Force on Sumatra Island, jumped up in surprise after receiving the report from the forward troops. The commander of the forward troops described it like this, "Your Excellency, Commander, on the Strait of Malacca, we are

There was a fierce battle, and from the observation position on the shore, the sea surface was already reflected in red by artillery fire, and the direction of the artillery fire was not the shore-based artillery of Singapore's China forces!"

Lieutenant General Shinno asked loudly: "It's not the Chinese artillery that attacked Singapore. Where did that artillery come from?

The commander of the Japanese frontline troops was confused in his mind. He was considered an old soldier. He could probably tell the difference between any type of artillery, but the long tail flames, hissing and weird sounding shells filled the sky like bolides.

, this was the first time I saw it, the commander asked himself, if he couldn’t answer, the consequences would be serious!

He had an idea and replied: "According to my observation, it should be the naval fleet of the ** Division, intercepting the retreating Hengshan Brigade fleet." After thinking for a while, he added, "Your Excellency, Commander, this is

The judgment of the staff department is because we cannot contact the Hengshan Brigade and do not know the specific conditions on the battlefield. Commander, do we use shore-based artillery to provide artillery cover for the Hengshan Brigade?"

Lieutenant General Shinno, who was still not confused, asked coldly, "Can you determine the location of the Japanese division fleet?"

The commander of the Japanese frontline troops was speechless. Fog enveloped the Strait of Malacca. He could only see flashes of fire in the mist, and heard the scream of artillery shells cutting through the air. As for the location of the fleet transporting the Hengshan Brigade

, the guessed position of the ** division fleet cannot be determined at all. You can propose to have the shore-based artillery fire. It is your own suggestion. If the answer cannot be determined, you will also be reprimanded by the Commander.

It was his own fault for talking too much, so he could only round out his words. After hesitating for a moment, he replied: "Your Excellency, Commander, the shore-based artillery can roughly determine the position of the ** division's fleet!"

Lieutenant General Shinno said: "Well, order all the shore-based artillery to bombard the China fleet immediately!" Lieutenant General Shinno himself also understood that the Hengshan Brigade was probably in bad luck. If an unarmed civilian ship was attacked by a warship, what would happen?

He was not a lamb to be slaughtered. The reason why he ordered the artillery fire was, on the one hand, not to leave any ground for accusation to the dispatched army headquarters. The artillery of our Fifth Army had done its best to support the Hengshan Brigade.

On the other hand, Lieutenant General Shinno is really worried that the Japanese division's fleet will take advantage of the opportunity to intercept the Hengshan brigade fleet and attack Sumatra Island. No matter what aspect you consider, there is nothing wrong with the shore-based artillery firing!

Lieutenant General Shinno thought for a while, but still felt uneasy. He ordered the communications staff to "immediately report the battle situation to the dispatched army headquarters. The message is as follows, Fifth Army Commander Shinno reported, His Excellency Commander-in-Chief Ito, August 8

At around 5 a.m., we evacuated from Singapore to

The Hengshan Brigade fleet on Sumatra Island was suddenly intercepted by the Navy Division fleet in the Strait of Malacca. The Ministry of Staff has ordered the shore-based artillery to provide fire cover. In addition, the Ministry of Staff recommended that fighter jets and bombers be dispatched to provide cover for the Hengshan Brigade.

The regiment provides air cover!”

Everything that should be done has been done. Lieutenant General Shinno can only pray for the Yokoyama brigade, and may Amaterasu bless the poor Major General Yokoyama Kingoro. But in his heart, he is not at ease. This mysterious military fleet,

How did you avoid the imperial troop observation posts along the coast and enter the Strait of Malacca?

Major General Xin Xiguo, Chief of Staff of the ** Division Fleet, was counting the time. The gunboat detachment had fired eight rounds of salvos and more than 30,000 rockets, which was enough for the little devil to drink a pot. Suddenly, his command boat shook violently.

Next, several thick water bodies appeared in front of me.

Pillar, he immediately judged that this was the Japanese shore-based artillery shelling. However, the Japanese artillery was unable to determine the exact position of its formation in the fog-shrouded sea. From the impact point of the artillery shells, it could be seen that the Japanese army

The artillery is firing blindly!

Xin Xiguo sneered, "The little devils on Sumatra Island are unwilling to be lonely. They don't show their heads, and they still want to knock them. Now, if they jump out on their own initiative, they are asking for discomfort!" He ordered: "The gunboat detachment,

You dispatch two brigades of gunboats, use the cover of fog to approach the Japanese shore-based artillery positions, and teach the little devils a lesson!"

"It is particularly emphasized that each gunboat is only allowed to fire one round of rockets, and then quickly escapes the range of the Japanese shore-based artillery. It cannot be left to fight. The other brigades of the gunboat detachment immediately withdraw from the battlefield, and the torpedo boat detachment quickly sinks the remaining Japanese troops.

Transport ship!”

On the sea, the gunboat detachment of more than a hundred gunboats immediately divided into two groups, one group evacuated the battlefield, and the other group lightly adjusted its direction and galloped away towards Sumatra Island. The high-speed gunboats prepared by the Japanese division fleet were just like

Fleet Commander Lieutenant General Tang Qiuquan

As I said, it is a typical "assassin" with small tonnage, low noise, fast speed, fierce firepower, and very flexible. The bow of the boat plows through the blue water, leaving a white wave trail, almost flying close to the sea, leaving

Like stringed arrows, they shot toward the Japanese shore-based artillery positions.

When Le Yiqin led a mixed fleet of fighters and bombers to arrive over the battlefield, he only saw clusters of firelights on the Malacca Strait shrouded in fog, appearing and disappearing in the mist. Based on his own experience, he judged that in one sentence

Then, "It's too late!" The fleet has almost finished its work!

Le Yiqin clicked her teeth and hurriedly and slowly failed to catch up. He ordered: "Bomber formation, go down at a low altitude to see if you can pick up some leftovers. Fighter formation, climb up immediately and guard the battlefield for a hundred kilometers.

In the airspace, if the Japs send out fighter jets, you can still win a fight!"

Then, when he opened the communication channel for the ship formation, Le Yiqin's first words were quite dissatisfied, "I said to Chief of Staff Xin, your fleet is too quick to start. I will take several hundred brothers with me from now on."

Myitkyina is coming over, I have to let them have a good time no matter what, you brother, it's better for you to keep a good relationship! You are not being righteous! I have to have a good talk with Commander Tang about this matter. The two companies are fighting together, and the fleet cannot be alone.

?”

Le Yiqin's voice was absolutely loud. Xin Xiguo smiled bitterly and said to himself: "This madman Le, his eyes gleamed when he heard about the war. According to Commander Tang's combat deployment, the mixed fleet of the Southern Flying Group of the Aviation Force was originally the main mission

, it’s not to attack the Japanese transport fleet, it’s to warn the Japanese aircraft fleet on Kalimantan and Sumatra. It’s a good thing this guy didn’t do anything when he saw it, so he complained first!”

Xin Xiguo replied with a smile: "Commander Le, just eat these small fish and shrimps in two portions. It won't be enough for anyone. You airmen are waiting to eat the fat meat. I guess we will cause such a big fuss."

It’s impossible for the kid’s plane to watch the commotion. The battlefield is too close to the Japanese airport. The kid’s plane will be there at a moment’s notice!”

Le Yiqin grinned. Xin Xiguo's words spoke to his heart. He was really afraid that the Japs' plane wouldn't come, so he just complained about the dozens of civilian ships carrying the Japs.

There really isn’t enough fleet

Fighting, he said: "Then let me use my brother's good advice to let my brothers eat meat. I said, Chief of Staff Xin, the little Japanese artillerymen on the other side are making a lot of noise. Do you need my bombers?

Give them a heads up?"

Xin Xiguo was startled. The fog was heavy, the visibility was poor, and there were still errors in aerial bombing. There was a chance that it would hit the two gunboat groups approaching Sumatra Island. He hurriedly said: "Commander Le, thank you for your kindness."

, I have dispatched two groups of gunboats to approach the Japanese army’s shore-based artillery positions to conduct shelling!”

Le Yiqin understood as soon as he heard that this was not necessary. He muttered and turned off the intercom. At this time, more than eighty gunboats from the two groups of the gunboat detachment had reached the best position for the rocket launcher. The commander

The detachment leader took a look with a telescope and was delighted. The perfect location, the Japanese shore-based artillery position, and the flashes of fire from time to time were the best targets.

The artillery shells whizzed past the head, and the gunboat detachment was in the blind spot of the Japanese shore-based artillery. The little devil could only be beaten. He secretly admired the decision of the chief of staff and ordered: "Every boat, pay attention, listen to my orders,

Target the Japanese shore-based artillery position, launch in a unified manner, prepare..., launch!"

On the sea shrouded in fog, a series of roaring rockets suddenly flew out, like meteors emerging from the fog, and smashed into the Japanese shore-based artillery positions. The Japanese artillerymen, who were working hard and happily, would have thought,

Under my nose, artillery shells shot out. I was looking for the direction of the screaming sound strangely. The rockets had already fallen, the fire was shining, and shrapnel was flying across the field. The Japanese shore-based artillery position was instantly enveloped in flames!
