The six torpedo leading ships of the empire concentrated fire on the enemy. The scene of hundreds of guns firing was shocking! Smoke filled the air in front of the six ships, and the advancement of gunpowder caused a large dazzling cloud to appear at the muzzle of each gun.
Flames; the shells screamed and hit the three enemy submarines rapidly.
When the two sides were completely stationary, the artillery shell hit rate was astonishingly accurate. The six torpedo leaders and more than a hundred naval guns concentrated their firepower on one point. This kind of striking power is astonishingly powerful!
The observation commanders of the three enemy ships and submarines looked through the periscope at the dark group of artillery shells coming towards them. They wailed in their hearts: "It's over!" But they were unwilling to die in such a useless way, so they all howled instinctively:
"Torpedo tubes No. 1 and 2 on the bow of the ship...torpedo fire!" They thought in vain, and wanted to take a back seat after they died.
These ghosts couldn't help but think carefully, are your torpedo launch tubes launched underwater? Have your torpedoes been aimed at the Imperial Ship?
But as luck would have it, the opponent's torpedo was actually successfully launched. As for whether there were any results, only God knows!
Because, just after the ghosts fired six torpedoes, the Empire's artillery shells came over their heads. More than a hundred artillery shells accurately hit this sea area, causing the sea area to churn. Three enemy ships
The ship and submarine were torn apart by the huge blow without any resistance and sank.
The huge explosion shock wave also caused several nearby enemy depth mines to be detonated, and the huge wave pushed towards the Imperial torpedo leader group. At the front of the huge wave were 6 torpedoes launched by the enemy. 6 torpedoes
Dragging an obvious wake, it quickly rushed towards the Imperial torpedo leader group.
Faced with such a situation, the artillerymen of the imperial warship were well prepared. The various machine guns and heavy machine guns on the flanks of the warships had already roared at the flanks in advance.
The shells hit the sea water, making a "dong dong..." sound, and water pillars rose into the sky. The six torpedoes that carried the hopes of the long-haired ghosts were all exploded; but because they were too close, they all
, the huge waves caused by the explosion hit the imperial ship head-on;
Some of the soldiers standing on the deck of the warship were staggered by the waves, but after the waves passed, their backs were still straight!
Immediately behind this wave, there was an even bigger wave, which was the wave of a big explosion in the submarine waters in the harbor. However, due to the narrow entrance to the sea, by the time the wave reached the open sea, the Imperial torpedo leader had already moved to the two wings.
, the effect of waves has also been reduced to a minimum.
After everything calmed down, the shallow-water heavy artillery fleet could finally rely on the route map drawn by the sonar crew to advance deeper into the enemy's harbor. The two imperial task force fleets also began to approach the shore base to pinpoint the enemy's coastal defense positions.
removal.
From this moment on, the imperial fleet was truly completed, and the military deployment to blockade the Malacca waters was completed. After the complete blockade of the Malacca waters, the empire's sea, land and air coordinated operations gradually progressed around the entire enemy naval base.
While the empire's sea, land and air were coordinating operations in the enemy's military port area, the landing battle in Mersing in the far north also began.
Before the Army landed in Mersing, more than 120 fighter planes of the Empire's Locust Air Force served as the leading force and took the lead in carrying out indiscriminate carpet bombing of the enemy's defensive positions stationed at the Port of Mersing. Subsequently, the Empire's Second Task Force in the South China Sea
and the Second East China Sea Task Force, a total of more than 160 carrier-based bombers. Continue the second wave of bombing.
After two waves of bombings, the Empire's Second Task Force in the South China Sea escorted the 40,000 Locust Army troops in the southern theater carried by the Empire's First Transport Group and landing ships as the most basic landing force. They forcibly landed at Fengseng Port.
Occupy the Port of Mersing as a bridgehead for the offensive.
Subsequently, the Empire's Second East China Sea Task Force escorted the 60,000 Locust Army Troops of the Southern Theater Command carried by the Empire's Second Transport Group and landing ships, and the 40,000 Imperial Lanfang Army Corps, as the main landing force of the second echelon, landed
Bridgehead, advancing towards the enemy's Mersing defense area...
In addition, the Empire's Third South Sea Task Force is responsible for blocking and guarding the entire Gulf of Siam; while the Empire's Third East Sea Task Force is escorting the First Reinforcement Division of the Southern Theater Army, which is escorted by the Empire's Third Transportation Group, in the waters near the landing site.
Stand by, ready to join the fight at any time.
The above-mentioned ground troops total more than 160,000 people, and there are more than 500 imperial ships responsible for transportation and escort missions. In addition, there are more than 200,000 army troops gathered on the Borneo front line. They are actually the general reserve force for the campaign. They are in a state of readiness and readiness at any time.
Enter the battle for Malacca.
There are two forces that provide sea and air cover for this reserve force. One is the Empire's local task force in the South China Sea, and the other is the Empire's local task force in the East China Sea. They are all A-type equipment services that have been eliminated by the empire.
But it is fully capable of activities along the coast of Southeast Asia.
The empire plans to invest a total of more than 800 ships in this battle, including 12 main aircraft carriers, 12 escort aircraft carriers, 24 battleships, 4 shallow water heavy artillery ships, 88 cruisers, 88 torpedo leaders, 120 destroyers, and 21 submarines.
, more than 1,000 aircraft, and more than 400,000 army reserve troops.
In response to this military operation codenamed ~Thunder Slash, the Imperial General Staff and the Imperial Southern Theater Command used their strength to the maximum. It can also be seen that this time the Empire is bound to win against Malacca and even the entire Southeast Asia region.
Determined!

nbsp;In the Mersing theater, a fleet of more than 120 Imperial Locust aircraft first appeared over the enemy and carried out indiscriminate bombing of enemy positions in the zone; followed closely by more than 160 Imperial carrier-based aircraft
Bombardment Wing; after taking turns bombing two waves, the Imperial Locust Army troops implemented a landing plan.
But to everyone's surprise, the enemy's resistance on this line of defense was extremely strong. The Imperial Locust Army only managed to control this small Mersing District after losing more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers of the Locust Army. Moreover, the troops only moved towards
They advanced less than 1 kilometer, but the port was still covered by enemy artillery fire.
In order to greatly expand the landing site, the first-line Locust Army on-site commander Chi Sizhengxiong decided to send elite soldiers and generals to forcibly raid forward. Under the order of Chi Sizhengxiong, the Locust Army formed a Japanese automobile and motorcycle regiment.
60 three-wheeled motorcycles and more than 1,000 soldiers from the Sizheng Xiong direct line army were dispatched as the raiding force.
But in the end, it suffered a heavy blow. The automobile and motorcycle regiments were almost wiped out, and most of the infantry were lost. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to (.) to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support.
