    Especially on the coast, the howitzer units aimed their guns at the Japanese fleet. They used extended-range artillery shells that could launch the shells to the sea more than 30 kilometers away.

    And the naval guns on the Japanese fleet were not very far from the sea because they had to support the Japanese operations in the port.

    The Japanese navy soldiers on the warship did not know that their warship had been targeted by the enemy's howitzer early at this time.

    According to their understanding, the enemy's artillery is very powerful and has a long range.  But it can't have a farther range than their naval guns.

    Theoretically speaking, the 155-caliber howitzer equipped by Xia Yang's troops uses conventional artillery shells, and the range of its artillery is indeed inferior to the range of the main gun on the Japanese naval gun.

    But once the extended-range shells are used, the range of the shells can exceed the range of the main gun of the Japanese naval gun.

    At this time, the Japanese navy sailors were still on the deck, waiting for artillery support to be called from the shore.

    But they didn¡¯t expect that they would be the first to be bombed.

    Dozens of fighter jets and bombers at the Baoding City Field Airport also took off more than half an hour ago and flew towards this area.

    These bombers and fighter jets were mainly used to sink these Japanese warships, or to expel them from this sea area.

    With the explosion of artillery shells, the soldiers on the Japanese deck suddenly began to shout.

    At this time, around the Japanese fleet, howitzer shells landed directly in the waters around them.

    Because the distance is too far, the accuracy of Xia Yang's howitzers will also be reduced. Therefore, when the first shells are fired, basically all of them fall on the sea around the Japanese warships, and they cannot accurately hit the enemy warships.

    But it doesn¡¯t matter, because they will quickly adjust the shooting angle.

    "Adjust the shooting elements!! Fire again!!"

    On the artillery position on the shore, the artillery commanders shouted and began to make coordinate corrections based on the data reported from the front.

    Soon, the second round of bombardment landed on top of the Japanese fleet.

    On the Japanese warship, the siren sounded loudly, and the entire navy of the warship began to take action.

    ¡°Boom!!!!¡±

    With a loud noise, a shell hit the deck of a Japanese destroyer.

    That shell directly hit the Japanese main gun on the deck, easily penetrated its dozens of millimeters thick armor plate, and then exploded.

    After the loud noise, the main gun of the Japanese destroyer was declared scrapped.  More than a dozen Japanese soldiers on the deck died, being blown to pieces by artillery shells.

    Seeing this scene, the Japanese fleet commander immediately shouted: "All warships, move immediately, spread out their formations, and don't hit them together.

    Detect the enemy¡¯s position and fire back!  !  "

    The Japanese fleet began to move.  They pulled up the chain and started the warship at the same time, intending to move on the sea.

    As a result, it will be difficult for the howitzers on the shore to aim and shoot.

    But this way, they will not be able to support the port.  Because they must concentrate their energy to deal with the firepower of the artillery positions on the shore.

    "Otherwise, they will be beaten passively all the time.

    Shigemoto Heyi looked at the large splash of water caused by the explosion of the shell on the sea in the distance, and was suddenly shocked.

    "Damn it, their artillery actually attacked our warships parked on the sea!!" Shigemoto said.

    But at this moment, a loud noise suddenly came to his ears.

    It turned out that the large-caliber shells fired by the howitzer unit had bombarded the port where the Japanese army was stationed.

    Not only the port, but also the defensive positions deployed by the Japanese army outside the port have become the focus of these howitzers.

    Because the Japanese army¡¯s peripheral defenses were all temporarily constructed.  It is not a permanent fortification such as reinforced concrete, so the defensive capabilities of this large-caliber howitzer are really limited.

    Many Japanese soldiers hiding in the trenches were blown to pieces by shells falling from the sky before they even had time to feel scared.

    And when the artillery shells were being bombarded fiercely, the armored forces of the Fourth Army at this time consisted of two armored regiments and hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles.Begin from the front and advance towards the Japanese position.

    The shelling lasted for about fifteen minutes, and bomb craters could be seen everywhere on the Japanese positions.

    The surviving Japanese soldiers poked their heads out of the trench.

    ¡°You can already see through the smoke, tanks and armored vehicles covering the infantry units of the Fourth Army. From behind the smoke, you can see ferocious faces.

    "Enter the forward position and block the enemy's attack!!"

    The Japanese commanders shouted, and with their soldiers, they rushed towards the defensive position ahead.

    At this time, on the defensive position in front, the smashed corpses and pieces of meat of the Japanese soldiers could be seen everywhere.  The bombardment they suffered was even more violent, and many of them had been shattered to pieces in the previous rounds of bombing.

    Seeing this scene, Hao Shiwen said: "Tanks and armored vehicles cover the advance of the infantry. The mortars and rocket nests in the rear provide fire suppression for the Japanese positions."

    "yes!!"

    The sound of gunfire and artillery echoed above the Japanese positions.

    Their anti-war artillery began to wildly bombard the advancing armored vehicles and tanks.

    These Japanese combat anti-aircraft guns are all 75mm caliber. Compared with the previous Japanese 35mm combat anti-aircraft guns, their power has been greatly improved.

    But the crux of the problem is that they produce a limited number of such large-caliber anti-tank guns, and because the research and development cycle is too short, many of their performances are somewhat substandard.

    However, with a loud noise, the Japanese army's more than ten anti-tank guns succeeded in blowing two tanks rushing forward into a burning ruins of steel.

    The infantrymen of the Fourth Army behind the tanks were also affected by the power of the shell explosion, causing many casualties.

    On the Japanese army's position, there was a burst of cheers.

    But soon, other tanks and armored vehicles aimed the muzzles of their tank guns at the location of the Japanese combat artillery.

    ¡°Move the artillery immediately!!!¡±

    The Japanese commander shouted, and the Japanese soldiers dragged the artillery and moved in other directions.

    At the same time, the mortars and rocket nests of the Fourth Army in the rear were also adjusting their shooting angles based on the coordinate data provided by the artillery scouts in the front.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
