"It's two more King Kongs! This time, you have to knock out one even if you say anything! "The King Kong number last time was beaten like that, and it was allowed to escape, Meng Xiang felt a little regretful every time he thought about it. This time, two more ships were sent, and Meng Xiang felt that if he didn't leave one or two, he was simply sorry that he came to deliver food.

He also had Ise-class battleships and Fuso-class battleships in his hands, two each. All four ships had 305 mm of main armor and 12 356 mm guns for their main guns. These figures are stronger than those of the King Kong, but they are no faster than 25 knots even after modification. Moreover, their armor was not sure against the giant artillery of the vanguard army.

In order to match the Nagato class, which has a speed of only 25 knots, I finally chose the Kongo class. The last encounter between the battleship Kongo and the battleship Kirishima also made him quite unconvinced. This visit also has the meaning of revenge.

However, although the two Kongo-class ships followed, they did not follow the Nagato-class around and attack the giant cannon of the vanguard army. It has reached a high speed of 30 knots at the most, but its weak horizontal and vertical defenses have always been its weak point. I am well aware of this. The main force of this attack was the two Nagato-class battleships.

Around them were the only destroyers, which were used to protect against submarines and torpedo boats. Even the Myoko and Kaohsiung-class heavy cruisers did not follow.

Like the Kongo, they were divided into two routes, circumnavigating both sides along the 60-kilometer radius of the giant cannon, and used to block the passage of the vanguard ships at both ends, so that destroyers and other ships could deal with submarines and torpedo boats with peace of mind, and the Nagato-class concentrated on dealing with the giant artillery.

The strategy he adopted was to use the thick armor and giant cannons of the Nagato-class to attack, and to use the small and flexible size of the destroyer to protect it, but it was aimed at the characteristics of the giant cannon.

They went straight to the Weihai artillery position that they had learned from the information leaked out of Room 12.

Since the direct jurisdiction of Yantai Qixia's sub-base can only cover Weihai County, Rongcheng to the east is already 100 kilometers away. Therefore, the positions of the giant artillery are mainly Weihai, Yantai and Penglai. In order to lead the devil by the nose, the information of the giant artillery position was directly leaked to them, allowing them to go straight to this place, and also avoided the destruction of Rongcheng and other places.

He also directly confronted the giant artillery positions in Weihai. Their goal this time was to open the passage to the Bohai Sea, so this time they did not attack the giant artillery in the direction of Qingdao, which left a deep impression on them.

The two King Kong-class battleships did not come close, although they could still be hit 60 kilometers away, but Meng Xiang still chose to hold back. The two Nagato-class didn't hit the weak point at all, so the target of the giant cannon muzzle was aimed at the destroyers who were escorting.

Of the destroyers accompanying the attack, he said that he had sent eight of them. There are several models, and they seem to have the flavor of actual combat testing.

But Meng Xiang doesn't care about this, after beating these little minions first, the rest of the lonely Nagato level is easy to handle.

"Boom! Rumble! "Huge cannon shells continue to make splashes on the water. The giant cannon shells were basically about to be smashed and sunk when those destroyers met, but unfortunately the accuracy of the giant guns 50 kilometers away from the direct jurisdiction of the base was really poor, and ten shells were fired, except for a special 2 type of Asagiri of the blowing snow class that was relatively close, and was hit by the rapid water flow of the explosion, and there was a little damage, the others did not hurt a hair.

"I know I'm a rookie, but it's not that bad, right?" Meng Xiang shook his hands and continued to work unconvinced. At this time, only he and Rat Er came to make the giant cannon in the Weihai area. Tiger One and Tiger Four are in the two guns of Xinxiang, there is still one place left, and Niu Yi controls a huge cannon at Shanhaiguan to block the attack of the Kwantung Army at any time.

At this time, the Kwantung Army was waiting for the navy to come, and it did not launch an attack near Shanhaiguan, but more and more people gathered in the direction of Chengde.

The Kwantung Army planned to attack on two sides together, but it was not in a hurry at all, waiting for the action of the navy. Although the army is said to be at odds with each other in the inland seas, if the navy's attack goes smoothly, it may also cooperate with the navy to directly implement the landing operation plan and open up several more offensive routes in the coastal areas.

At this point, the focus of the battle was still on the navy versus the giant artillery.

"Boom!" The rat next to him opened the record and directly hit a Muyue-class destroyer.

The Muzuki class only came with one Yayoi this time. It's a bit outdated, and I'm just here to test the possible changes to soy sauce. It is said that some people in the navy have already proposed that it be changed to a high-speed transport ship, and the vacant establishment will naturally be supplemented by a new Chaochao class. It didn't take long for the test to be bombarded by the giant cannon of the rat two and three meters away from it, and the huge explosion of the water cannonball directly tore a big hole in its thin skin armor.

Seawater began to pour in large quantities, and the crew hurriedly began to rescue, and although the Yayoi had not yet sunk, it was no longer able to participate in the battle. The speed of the Muyue class can reach 37 knots, and at this time, it is also high-speed, and there is also a bit of luck in being hit by the rat.

It seems that Meng Xiang's luck has also come, and the practice of five consecutive shells has also made him more familiar with the, aiming at a lively red dot and blasting over.

This time, the Blowing Snow class not only came to a special type 2 of the Asagiri, but also a special type of 3 tide number. In order to show that he is more powerful than the destroyers of other countries, he called the Fuyuki-class destroyers special destroyers. But no matter how special it was, it couldn't bear a 280-mm shell, and it was directly smashed through the bottom of the ship, and it began to leak water in a large area.

"Still blowing snow? If you don't have Ximen's move to blow snow, don't take such a windy name! Meng Xiang's bombardment hit the target, which made him feel happy, and he couldn't help but joke when he looked at the information on the target on the big screen. However, the Type 93 oxygen torpedo carried on the blowing snow class is indeed one of the best torpedoes of World War II.

With a diameter of 610 mm, its power is far greater than that of other torpedoes, and the 780 kg of the Type 3 ship thermodynamic torpedo equipped in 33 years is the largest charge in the world. Its range is also two to three times that of other torpedoes, because it uses pure oxygen as the booster power, so it is fast and the wake is almost invisible, so the threat is very large, but it is also a bit of a sword of Ximen blowing snow to seal the throat.

But this threat is not only to the enemy, but also to oneself. Oxygen's unstable surname, although it is said that he has been improved, is still only 25% reliable surname, a typical killing of 1,000 and self-damage of 800. This can be seen from the fact that in World War II, it achieved an astonishing ratio of 1.5 to 1 in killing the enemy and killing its own people. Although some of them were made by mending guns, creating the myth of mending guns, its unstable surname is also extremely headache-inducing, and even Meng Xiang only produced it as a study, and did not dare to use it, lest he accidentally get on his body.

At this time, although the tide was also carrying this sharp weapon, it was bombarded into the sea by a huge cannon shell before it could be used.

"It's a mess!" Meng Xiang raised his arms and smiled.

In fact, this is not luck, mainly because his attack fleet is less than 40 kilometers away from the bombarded artillery position in Weihai. This is already in the area where the accuracy of the giant cannon has been greatly improved.

"Boom!" A Fengfeng-class Autumn Wind was hit by Rat Er, this kind of destroyer that began to be built at the end of World War I is also a little old, as the oldest destroyer I participated in the Pacific Campaign, this operation is also only one, at most to fight soy sauce for war exploits. But the soy sauce bottle was directly shattered by the cannonball, its boiler was hit, and there was a martyrdom, and the explosion directly tore the Autumn Wind apart, and it sank to the bottom of the sea in less than three minutes, becoming the fastest sinking ship.

He said that his fleet was already 30 kilometers away from the position of the giant artillery. After missing five times in a row, Meng Xiang's cannon finally hit the Ziyu horn with more than 1,800 tons. The Chunchun-class destroyer was smashed into a big hole in the bridge by a huge cannon shell, and the captain and other commanders became a mixture of steel and flesh and blood in the continuous explosions, and the power system also went wrong, and it was directly across the sea and did not move. After being replenished by Meng Xiang with two shells in a row, he finally sank directly to the bottom of the sea after receiving another one.

At this time, the main cannon of the Nagato began to be raised, and the muzzle of the black hole pointed forward. Although it was far from the artillery position, the coastal area was already within its range.

Boom, after a loud bang, the main gun on the Nagato test-fired a shell and hit the land along the coast. There was a village on the map, and a 410-mm shell immediately blew up a huge crater there, sweeping half of the village's buildings.

The people of the village were all evacuated early under the persuasion of the vanguard army. At this time, there was no one in the village, and there were no casualties. However, the power of the Nagato's 410 mm was enough to pose a threat to the artillery position.

After the cannon is upgraded to level 2, the protective thickness of the cannon fortifications has also been changed to be able to defend against the bombardment of its own cannons. The 410 mm of the Nagato class has exceeded this power. At this time, the long-distance bombardment, it is said that his own attack is also not accurate, but if it is closer, the two 16 naval guns on the Nagato-class will bombard together. It was enough to destroy the giant artillery of the Vanguard.

But the cannon continued to bombard the destroyers that accompanied it. Such a close-range roll call attack is the most accurate.

Together, the two giant guns aimed at a destroyer of the Xiayun and bombarded continuously. He also seemed to have noticed the strategy of the vanguard, and except for the Nagato-class battleships that continued to rush forward, the other destroyers began to make evasive actions. The 2,370-ton Chaochao-class destroyer of the Xiayun walked in a zigzag shape, using its speed of 35 knots to continuously avoid the huge water column that rose into the sky around it.

Although Xia Yun missed, Meng Xiang took the opportunity to smash the still struggling Yayoi into the bottom of the sea with three shells. The Asagiri, who was rescuing it next to it, was also affected, and it was already a little damaged, and its movement was even slower at this time.

Because the distance exceeded 50 kilometers and the distance was too far, Meng Xiang did not attack it, but suddenly started an attack on the Dachao, another Chaochao-class destroyer, together with the giant cannon made by the rat Er. Under the sudden attack, the Tide was a little unable to dodge, and was affected by the close miss of the huge cannon shells that attacked at close range, and the bow of the ship leaked.

The carrier-based reconnaissance planes on the two battleships had already flown into the sky and accurately captured the positions of the two huge guns.

They avoided the pursuit of the aircraft of the Air Vanguard Army and passed on the specific coordinates. The 16 naval guns on the Nagato and Mutsu bombarded in turn.

"Do you want to repair the cannon?" Brain began to warn near the danger of the cannon.

"No!" Meng Xiang categorically vetoed.

In the vicinity of the cannon, this time there was no more Engineer to follow. With the bombardment of the devil's naval artillery, the virtual light screen in front of Meng Xiang first appeared dark, and the information about the giant cannon also disappeared, which meant that a giant cannon was damaged.

The giant cannon made by the rat was still bombarding the tide, which had been greatly reduced.

It is better to cut off one of its fingers than to hurt its ten fingers. Meng Xiang realized this truth from the last time the King Kong and the Akagi slipped away. Since the tide is damaged and easier to aim under the radar display, why not hit this first?

The giant cannon made by the rat also sent a warning of the wisdom brain prompting repair, but Meng Xiang still ignored it.

"Boom!" After dropping five shells, the sluggish Tide finally sank to the bottom of the sea with a huge cannon shell. At the same time, the giant cannon made by the rat has completely lost any news. In the air, it was clearly visible that the barrel of the huge cannon had been broken into two and crooked to the ground.

Immediately, the roar of the huge artillery disappeared from the surroundings, and even the roar of the naval guns stopped.

"That's too much to pay!" Koga Mine sighed. Although none of the cannonballs fell on the heads of the Nagato-class battleships, the eight destroyers guarding around them were now sunk by 5 of the more than 50 shells of the cannons, and their result was only to destroy the two giant cannons of the vanguard. It is said that there are at least two more of the Vanguard Army's cannons at Shanhaiguan, one more on the Miaodao Islands, and two more at Yantai Seaport.

"Leave it to the Hiei and Haruna, and they will be responsible for blowing up the airfield in the Weihai area!" The location coordinates of the airport have already been provided by the intervening twelve. This King Kong-class battleship was enough to deal with, and they still needed to hurry up to clean up the three huge cannons in Yantai and Miaodao Islands, and then open the iron cable at Shanhaiguan Pass so that the Kwantung Army could enter the customs.

The Army, under all odds, waited for them to be the vanguard. They did not shirk it, so as to show the prestige of the navy.

Koga Mine looked at the sky, and a hint of gloom flashed in his heart.

There were only more than 30 Vanguard planes and more than 20 Zero planes in the sky, which was very different from the scene of hundreds of planes attacking the ships that they had begun to imagine.

This was the first appearance of the Zero aircraft on the battlefield, but it did not take much advantage.

Opposite them were 32 P-47N Thunderbolt fighters, which did not fall behind the Zero fighters. The pilots who flew these planes were veterans, and perhaps some of them were not as good as their own pilots, but they were not too much of the same. The P-47N may be inferior to the lightweight Zero in terms of flexible surname, but it is also superior in other aspects. I had to be depressed to find that the killer weapon they prepared did not work.

They didn't know that the characteristics of the Zero aircraft had long been familiar to some pilots of the Vanguard Army, and Meng Xiang had already produced two or three as sparring partners under the pretext of obtaining the latest information from him. Although Meng Xiang did not announce several well-known shortcomings of the Zero Type in later generations, it was not the first time that these pilots who participated in the battle at this time came into contact with the Zero Type, and with the advantage of fighting more and less, after fighting for half an hour, the aircraft of the Vanguard Army temporarily led 5 to 3.

The place of the battle was led to land by the Vanguard, so of the three pilots shot down, only one was killed, and the other two were only slightly wounded. The Zero is equipped with a 20 mm cannon, and if it weren't for the thick skin of the thunderbolt, the average aircraft would have been exploded directly. The 8 large-caliber machine guns of the Thunderbolt N are also enough to deal with the still thin-skinned Zero.

"Such planes are also forbidden to fight!" Liu Cuigang regained his original self-confidence, and just now he hit a Zero and exploded and disintegrated in the air.

The Zero is in the strict requirements for weight, eliminating the heavy armor, and it itself uses a large number of aluminum alloys, resulting in the body is extremely flammable and disintegrating, which is also a common problem of this aircraft, and it deserves the reputation of an air lighter.

The pilots of the Hainan Airlines also seemed to be aware of the thick skin and firepower of the Pioneer Army's aircraft, and consciously began to use the Zero's maneuverability to start fighting. However, the fighters of the vanguard army were all lined up in formation according to the practice in the exercise, and they did not attack easily, which also made the Zero-type attack only deflated. Similarly, even if the lightning is faster, the agility of the Zero allows the lightning to catch up. The two sides were locked in a stalemate in the air.

However, the roar of several airfields in Weihai below caused the planes of the vanguard army to suppress the formation and began to retreat slowly.

At this time, the flying zero were all excellent pilots, but in the face of the vanguard army's aircraft, they achieved such a result, and they were a little unwilling. But the Vanguard Army's position was not too flawed under the thick skin of the Thunderbolt aircraft, and they also needed to perform other tasks, so the appearance of the first Zero fighter ended a bit tragically.

"How can a good airport be blown up by devils?" When he withdrew, Liu Bingtian muttered.

"Can't you see that? That's a fake target! Hu Wen had just shot down another plane, and he was in a very happy mood, and when he heard the muttering of his wingman, he couldn't help but laugh, "Commander Meng is laying out the layout to lure the devil to take the bait!" ”

"What bureau?" Liu Bingtian asked curiously.

"You'll find out later." Hu Wen said with a smile. In fact, he didn't know Meng Xiang's specific plan, but this obvious temptation devil was certain.

He didn't know that Meng Xiang had also spent a lot of energy for this bait. First of all, the two cannons were actually destroyed. Under the fierce attack, the base's camouflage system is also ineffective for the time being. The attack of small intensity is okay, but the attack of the naval artillery is ineffective, and even if Meng Xiang wants to pretend to be destroyed, it is easy to goof, so Meng Xiang directly gave up the two giant cannons.

As for the airport, it's a half-truth. The empty finger center was recovered, and the self-built airport only had a runway, which was covered with dead grass and floating soil, and a few new false targets were arranged, so that the devil's naval artillery bombarded enough.

Even if the devils temporarily controlled all this, they still didn't dare to land easily. The information of the twelfth half-truths pointed out the strength of the vanguard army in the inland area. In the case of not cleaning up the ports of Yantai and other places to control the Bohai Sea, the devils did not dare to easily carry out infantry operations with the vanguard army in the hilly areas of Jiaodong, which was not as affordable as the Kwantung Army's plan to directly take Beijing and Tianjin.

"Not far ahead is Yantai Port. Watch out for the cannon out there, too! As soon as Koga Mine finished speaking, the huge cannon shells fell.

Before Yantai Port could be reached, the giant artillery bombarded first. If he really let his battleship approach Yantai Port, the loss would be great.

"Rush over and wreck it!" Koga Mine was full of confidence in the giant cannons of the vanguard army at this time, and in the face of the bombardment of the two giant cannons, the Nagato and the Mutsu leaned up again, but at this time, two were replenished from the accompanying fleet, and only four destroyers were escorted. And just follow behind you. Like the first way of fighting, even the Sakamoto Navy, which is called elite, can't stand it.

Planes in the air were constantly searching for submarines and torpedo boats, and if there was a situation, they would prepare the destroyers that were slightly further behind.

"They've rushed over!" Rat Two reported.

The muzzles of the Nagato and Mutsu were raised, ready to start bombarding.

Through the radar display on the big screen and the reconnaissance of the aerial reconnaissance aircraft, Ryuichi had accurately measured the exact location of the two Nagato-class battleships. They had reached a distance of almost 20 kilometers from the coastline.

"Let them go one more step!" Meng Xiang said calmly.

The Nagato and Mutsu began to bombard, slowly closing to 15 kilometers from the shoreline.

"It's okay, the shore artillery unit starts attacking!" The corners of Meng Xiang's mouth curled upwards and ordered.

"Whew!" Like the roar of a locomotive, three cannonballs slammed into the Muchinoku in front of it. Ignoring the cannonballs, the Mutsu and Nagato went straight for the cannon's position. It is easy to calculate their trajectories.

"Shelling!" In an instant, Goto Cunzhi's face changed. He had just taken over the position of Takeo Takagi, who had been punished for his mistakes, and became the new captain of the Mutsu. He himself is also very skilled, so he naturally heard the difference between the shells and the giant cannon shells this time, they have a larger caliber, even larger than the shells on the Mutsu.

"It's ......" He felt something familiar with the voice, which he seemed to have heard before. Just as a huge shell with a metallic sheen was visible to the naked eye and coming straight in front of him, he suddenly fired a Type 94 460mm naval gun.

"Boom!"
