The alarm bells sounded loudly in the Dongdi Naval Base.
According to the notice they issued before, the Daqian Imperial Navy Fleet will visit the day after tomorrow, so all fleets will leave the port tomorrow morning and enter Level 2 combat status.
But what's going on now? Isn't it time yet?
"Everyone returned to their combat positions immediately. Everyone returned to their combat positions immediately. We were attacked by the coast guard of the Daqian Empire's suppression army..."
"Please note that this is not a drill. Please note that this is not a drill..."
"The captains of each ship arrived at the command position immediately. The captains of each ship arrived at the command position immediately..."
Various complicated broadcasts have also begun. In fact, each broadcaster has his or her own tasks. At this time, they all want to hand over their tasks quickly, but it is a pity that they occupy various broadcast channels. , it was even difficult for the sailors outside to hear a broadcast clearly.
Many sailors who got up early saw the fire on the sea in the distance, which should be one of their patrol boats.
"Did our patrol boat hit something?"
A sailor from Dongdi Kingdom rubbed his eyes and said that although the broadcast had been very harsh, they still did not feel alert.
The navy of the Daqian Empire does want to visit us, but it is impossible for them to launch a surprise attack on us. You must know that they have been frightened by the navy of the Rakshasa Empire. Even if they gather all their troops, it should be If we go to the southern seas to fight with the Rakshasa Empire's navy, how could they possibly attack us by surprise?
This idea not only exists in the minds of the sailors of Dongdi Kingdom, but also some middle and senior officers. They do not think that the navy of the Daqian Empire will launch a surprise attack on them. This is simply unbelievable, unless the Daqian Empire All the naval commanders went crazy.
"Are you a fool? Didn't you see the fire next to it? It was obviously an artillery attack. Not to mention how many times we have walked this route, how could we hit something?"
A commander next to him slapped him on the back of the head and told the guy to go to his post quickly.
The officer swallowed hard. Of course he knew what the situation was like. All the warships had been parked in the port for several days.
If we leave the port to fight now, it will take at least four or five hours of preparation time, and this is without any interruption. Judging from the current situation, there should be an imperial navy fleet outside. How could they let it go? What about us?
That outline...
The officer grabbed the railing on the warship with both hands, and he could feel his legs shaking at this moment.
Although the sky is not bright yet, with the faint light, more than a dozen outlines have appeared on the sea.
"Torpedo... Torpedo found directly ahead..."
Some sailors were already shouting loudly. These people stood relatively high and could naturally see white lines one after another on the sea in the dark night. They were very familiar with these white lines. These were torpedoes launched by enemy warships.
Dozens of white lines rushed towards Dongdi's fleet, and the other side launched dozens of torpedoes immediately.
Some sailors are really panicking. Although they are now up and everyone is in combat status, it does not mean that the warship has also entered combat status. In this state, the warship is lying on the ground. There are even several rows overlapping each other...
The first torpedo hit...
Huge flames shot up into the sky, and many nearby sailors were blown into the sea. This torpedo exploded below the waterline, which meant that the warship had been scrapped. This was a five-thousand-ton iron-clad battleship.
Many sailors of the Dongdi Kingdom fantasized that this warship would make great achievements, and even be able to reach the port of the Daqian Empire, bringing greater benefits to the Dongdi Kingdom.
But now this warship was hit by a torpedo without even leaving its own naval port.
But soon, the soldiers of Dongdi Kingdom found that they had no time to be surprised, and explosions came one after another from around them.
Dozens of torpedoes were fired almost in a straight line. There were no blind spots in the entire port, and even the warships in the first row had no way to escape.
One warship after another was hit. Many soldiers had already arrived at the gun position and were even preparing to fire back. However, because the torpedo hit the warship, the entire warship began to tilt, and they could not aim at the sea at all. The Daqian Imperial Fleet on board.
"Order the destroyers to conduct a second round of torpedo attacks and then withdraw from the battlefield."
Gao Shaoyi saw very clearly with his telescope. More than 30 torpedoes hit five warships in total. They had already got a good start. The next warship in the second row was not easy to hit. At that time, we had to rely on our ship. of heavy artillery.
This time, Gao Shaoyi personally directed the battle, mainly because there were not many steps and no changes were needed in the middle.
This time we really have the right time, place and people. Fortunately for us, we accelerated in the middle. Most of the Dongdi fleet had just gotten out of bed. Under such circumstances, if I can't defeat you, I really can't help you. Already.
"The retreating destroyers began to attack the shore defense batteries."
After the destroyer retreats, it can completely use its artillery to attack the shore defense guns. Of course, according to the caliber of their artillery, there is no way to cause much damage to the coast defense guns. But at the moment, the sea is pitch black, and the destroyer can attract the coast defense guns when it fires. firepower, giving several heavy cruisers an opportunity to attack.
After the destroyers retreated, the light and heavy cruisers began to carry out devastating attacks on the warships in the port.
It's so dark, we don't need to aim too accurately, we just need to shoot out the shells in the shortest possible time. The more shells we shoot out, the greater our chance of victory will be after daybreak.
Gao Shaoyi also knows that the current accuracy of the fleet is not high, but coverage bombing is always no problem for you. If you can't even do this, Gao Shaoyi will find a rope and throw you into the sea to feed the fish. Even if I spend so much money, this little thing can always be done well.
After the torpedo attack, the Dongdi Navy just felt that the situation had improved slightly. Unfortunately, the improvement did not last for a minute. There was a huge fire on the sea, and a large number of shells hit Hengfu Port...
Hasegawa Kiyoshi, the commander of the Dongdi Kingdom Navy, rushed to the shore. Without saying a word, he was killed by a 152mm artillery shell...
