Chapter 175 Shelling the Japanese Dogs in the Water
However, the pile driver in the field was not afraid of this.
This army won't land on the island, so why are you trying to stop my army from landing in Linhai City?
We'll have to mobilize your coastal naval forces, but how can they compare to our own?
"Alright, we'll talk about this later. Now that the lead fleet has arrived at the island and there are no signs of attack, let's have the whole army land."
As the sailors rowed vigorously, the ship's speed increased dramatically in an instant.
Chu Chen looked through the binoculars and thought to himself, "You finally couldn't hold back anymore."
He took out his walkie-talkie and switched to Chu Yi's channel: "Don't worry about these eight ships in front. I believe they will sink soon. When the big ships behind come up, you just go all out and bomb them."
"Got it, sir."
After speaking, Chu Yi put down the walkie-talkie, adjusted the angle of the howitzer, and waited for the arrival of the main force behind him.
Meanwhile, Lü Rongdong also received a message instructing him to have the divers let them in undetected, and then sink them.
"There's a big fish behind us." Chu Chen looked through the sniper rifle's binoculars and saw a huge ship behind them.
A blurry-looking man, accompanied by several others, was standing at the bow of the ship, plotting something.
Looking at the super-large ship following behind the army and heading this way, Chu Chen revealed a beautiful smile.
If this thing doesn't work, then let that drunkard take me aboard and we'll have a massacre.
Twenty divers successfully reached the bottom of the ship. With the help of oxygen tanks and propulsion, it couldn't be easier.
He secured himself to the bottom of the boat with a rope hook, then took out his tools and began to dig.
Meanwhile, the Japanese on the eight large ships ahead looked at the small island on the gray city wall, which offered no resistance.
They thought the Xia soldiers had chickened out, so they started mocking them in the direction of the island.
Immediately afterwards, the eight ships passed the island and headed towards the coast.
At this moment, Tanaka, who was driving piles, realized that he had been thinking too much, as he saw how easily he had crossed the island.
I figured that the city lord of Linhai was probably packing up his valuables and preparing to escape.
Gradually, all the large ships behind came into view.
Besides the super-large ship in the middle, there were about twenty-two other large ships on the outer perimeter, the same kind of ships that they had sunk last time.
Together with the previous eight ships, it makes a fleet of thirty warships and one command ship.
The Japanese must have paid a hefty price.
Personnel were also dispatched from the island to coordinate with those on the coast, with the aim of killing those who were good swimmers.
The Japanese who were able to swim to shore even after their large ship sank.
Murong Huai said he had no problem with this small task.
As the convoy drew closer, half of the ships were now within firing range.
Lu Rongdong finally gave the order to attack.
Suddenly, the soldiers hidden on the city walls stood up.
They grabbed crossbows and fired rockets soaked in gasoline onto the large ship.
The Japanese on the large ship were completely stunned by this first wave of attacks.
They quickly organized themselves, carrying buckets of water to extinguish the fire.
But they were wrong, terribly wrong. That was gasoline! Can gasoline be extinguished with water?
Immediately, smoke billowed into the sky from the large ship.
Just then, the grenade launcher in Chu Yi's hand also went off, with shells blasting towards the ships.
The wooden boat was completely defenseless against the howitzer and was instantly blasted to pieces.
Chu Chen went even further, taking out all sorts of grenades, incendiary bombs, high-explosive bombs, and armor-piercing bombs.
They headed straight for the ship.
The pile driver on the large ship panicked completely when he saw this sudden turn of events.
"Didn't they say that the Great Xia navy was easily defeated, and that Linhai City was easily defeated?"
He reached out and grabbed the Liu family member, roaring deeply.
Enraged, he drew his long sword from his waist and cleaved the Liu family translator in two with a single stroke.
At that moment, he witnessed something that horrified him.
All eight large ships that had just passed the island were seen sinking into the sea.
Oh no, the battle has barely begun and we've already lost eight large ships.
How could he possibly fight this battle? At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind: he had been tricked.
To be precise, he was tricked by the Japanese emperor. How could he keep such important information from him?
At this point, the large ship was getting closer and closer to the island. If it tried to retreat, the ships of the Great Xia would definitely chase after it.
There was no other way but to bite the bullet and go for it.
So, at his command, the catapults on the ship started moving.
Chu Chen saw the catapult move and picked up the walkie-talkie: "Chu Yi, blow up that catapult."
They blew up those catapults, so it can be said that the Japanese had no other ranged weapons besides bows and arrows.
But how many soldiers carrying police shields could a bow and arrow actually hit?
Catapults, carrying stones or burning oil-soaked rocks, headed towards the island.
However, they couldn't see anything on the island from the ship; it was all a blind shot.
Some even operated catapults to hurle the projectiles at the city walls.
But when the large stone hit the city wall, it only left a white mark.
The same was true for those oil bombs; when they hit the city wall, they simply burned off their own oil.
Chu Yi's aim, however, became increasingly accurate, his grenades heading straight for the catapults on the ship.
In no time, he had destroyed all the catapults within range.
Helpless, the Japanese soldiers scrambled to find cover on the ships to avoid the deadly crossbow bolts.
At this moment, Chu Chen lay prone on the roof of the car, took out the sniper rifle, and fired a series of precise shots at the Japanese on the ship.
Wooden bunkers can protect against crossbow bolts, but how can they stop sniper rifle bullets?
For Chu Chen, it was just practice.
After all, there aren't many opportunities to practice like this.
Suddenly, through the bullet hole pierced by the sniper rifle, Chu Chen saw that the super ship was radiating bursts of light.
So he quickly took out his walkie-talkie and said to Lü Rongdong and Chu Yi, "Everyone, pay attention. Don't touch that big ship in the middle yet. There might be some unexpected gains."
Upon receiving the order, all the soldiers immediately ceased their attack on the large ship.
Meanwhile, Lü Rongdong also dispatched the remaining eighty divers to target the twenty-two warships in addition to the super-large ship.
Tanaka, carrying Inoue, stood on the high top observation deck aboard the super-large ship.
The attacks from the island side seemed to have weakened, and none of them were targeting their own large ships.
He looked puzzled; even the divine weapon that could silently bring down his soldiers had vanished without a trace.
Is it possible that this type of attack cannot be sustained?
But at this moment he dared not make any rash moves, and stood on the large ship quietly observing the sea.
Suddenly, a warship next to him, like the eight that had passed by before, began to slowly sink.
Then, the second, the third, the fourth, the fifth...
