"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The destroyer 'O-2' is firing frantically, with twin 105-mm guns in the bow and stern, and four 88-mm rapid-fire guns on the side of the ship, firing heavily at a 'kamikaze-class' destroyer of the Japanese Navy. Dense shells rained down around the destroyers of the Japanese Navy, splashing columns of water as if they were a small boat sailing in a raging storm.

"Yaga! Why is the firepower of the warships of the China people so terrifying? On the destroyer, Captain Yutaro Nomura scolded angrily. The Chinese Navy's 'B-class' destroyers have four times the displacement of the Japanese Navy's 'kamikaze-class' destroyers, and their firepower is much more powerful than the Japanese Navy's 'kamikaze-class' destroyers. It can be said that there are no less than one level of opponents on both sides.

Captain Yutaro Nomura has already ordered to increase the speed of the destroyer to 30 knots. It only took ten minutes for them to rush within 1.5 kilometers of the Chinese Navy's capital ship. At that time, the 450-mm torpedoes in the two torpedo tubes in the bow will be ready to attack. It's just that these ten minutes are undoubtedly an ordeal for them.

The destroyers of the Japanese Navy passed through a hail of bullets, like petrels in a storm.

"Boom!" A violent explosion was heard, and the destroyer slammed into a slam, as if someone had smashed a hammer into it. It was a 105-mm shell fired from the destroyer 'O-2', which accurately hit the Japanese destroyer. The destroyers of the Japanese Navy had no armor protection at all, so much so that the destroyer 'O-2' smashed its bow with one shot.

"Damn! Plug the loopholes and move on. Captain Yutaro Nomura ordered with a dark face.

However, this is simply useless. At a time when the speed of the Japanese destroyers was decreasing, the hit rate of the destroyer 'O-2' increased significantly. In just a minute's time. Two 105-mm shells and three 88-mm shells hit the destroyer. After a few shells exploded, the destroyer, which had a displacement of no more than 400 tons, was directly torn to pieces. Dozens of Japanese Navy sailors on the destroyer, all overboard.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The sound of dense explosions sounded in Sagami Bay as if it were thunder. The destroyers and torpedo boats of the Japanese Navy were frantically approaching the main fleet of the Imperial Navy, trying to fire torpedoes at close range. But. They were greeted by the dense firepower of the Imperial Navy. Intensive artillery fire, directly tearing these destroyers and torpedo boats of the Japanese Navy to shreds.

The vast majority of torpedo boats were sunk a full three thousand meters away from the Imperial Navy's capital ship formation, let alone rushed within a kilometer of the Imperial Navy's main fleet.

"Boom! Rumble! "The 155-mm secondary guns of the battleship 'Ryusho' of the Imperial Navy hit one of the 'Shinonome-class' destroyers of the Japanese Navy with two shots in succession. Two shells directly blew the destroyer in two.

A Japanese Navy torpedo boat was frantically advancing towards the Imperial Navy's battlecruiser Ryuyao. The sailors aboard the battlecruiser Longyao had already spotted the threat, and two 155mm rapid-fire guns and four 88mm rapid-fire guns began to rain shells on the torpedo boat. Torpedo boats, although only a few dozen tons, carried 450-mm torpedoes. However, it was a mortal threat to the capital ships of the Imperial Navy. So, it has to be killed.

In less than two minutes, a 155-mm shell hit the torpedo boat. One 155-mm shell was enough to tear a torpedo boat several tens of tons to pieces.

The battle continued, but the Japanese navy's attack was more like sending people to death. In the face of heavy artillery fire from the Imperial Navy, their attack was of no use at all, only to increase casualties.

Less than half an hour. The sea was already full of wreckage of destroyers and torpedo boats of the Japanese Navy. There were more Japanese sailors who fell into the water, but no one paid attention to them. Even though it's late April. But the water is still cold. After these Japanese sailors fell into the water, if they did not receive timely treatment, I am afraid that they would soon freeze to death.

Of course, the Chinese Navy will not have such idle time. First of all, the destroyers and torpedo boats of the Japanese Navy were eliminated, and all the crises were resolved. As for those Japanese sailors. I wish they were all frozen to death.

"Order the fleet, retreat!" Seeing that the heavy losses could not break through the defense line of the Chinese Navy, the Japanese admiral who commanded the operation had to order a retreat. He knew that even if he continued to attack, it would only increase the casualties. It is useless, it is better to retreat immediately and reserve some seeds for the Japanese Navy.

It's just that it's too late to retreat now. After the few remaining Japanese destroyers and more than a dozen torpedo boats began to retreat, they were immediately pursued by six 'B-class' destroyers of the Imperial Navy. Just as they were about to arrive at the Uraga waterway, six 'Class A' destroyers of the Imperial Navy, which had already been ambushed here, also came out to encircle and suppress the Japanese Navy.

After less than half an hour of fierce fighting, all the destroyers and torpedo boats of the Japanese Navy were sunk, and none of them survived. After discovering that the back road had been cut off, the bestiality of these Japanese sailors was also stimulated, and they were not afraid to rush to the destroyers of the Imperial Navy, trying to sink them with torpedoes. However, the end result was that they were sunk. The destroyers of the Imperial Navy, with a maximum speed of more than 32 knots, were simply not something that the destroyers and torpedo boats of the Japanese Navy could catch up with.

By half-past six in the morning, the sun had risen over the horizon and the battle had come to an end. All 12 destroyers and 34 torpedo boats dispatched by the Japanese Navy were sunk. And the Imperial Navy only paid the price of some battleships being damaged by small-caliber shells of the Japanese Navy. Overall, the damage was very minor.

What's more, after the sinking of these destroyers and torpedo boats of the Japanese Navy, there was no defense in Tokyo Bay. The main fleet of the Imperial Navy only needed to rush through the Uraga waterway to be able to enter Tokyo Bay and directly bombard Tokyo.

"This last threat has finally been resolved, and the next step is to rush through the Uraga waterway and enter Tokyo Bay." Admiral Sa Zhen Bing said.

After nearly two hours of fighting, the officers and men of the Imperial Navy were resting. The cooks had already prepared breakfast, and as soon as the battle was over, a hot meal was delivered to the soldiers.

"Let the soldiers rest for an hour, and after an hour, they will enter the Uraga waterway and rush into Tokyo Bay." Admiral Sa Zhen Bing ate a bun in three or two bites, and then said.

"Hmmm! The Uraga waterway is no more than ten kilometers long, and at the speed of our capital ship, it can be passed through the Uraga waterway in a maximum of twenty minutes. The coastal defense guns deployed by the Japanese on both sides of the Uraga waterway do not pose much of a threat to us. Admiral Cheng Biguang also said.

The Imperial Navy had only four capital ships, each of which was too precious to be used to confront the Japanese shore defense artillery. Relying on the advantage of speed, they quickly rushed into Tokyo Bay, and the Japanese Navy's shore defense artillery could not threaten them.

The news of the sinking of all 12 destroyers and 34 torpedo boats of the Japanese Navy soon reached the Yokosuka Naval Base. When Gonbei Yamamoto, Heihachiro Togo, Minoru Saito and others learned the news, their faces were extremely ugly.

It is sad that all the destroyers and torpedo boats were sunk, but they did not play any role.

"A senseless sacrifice, a completely senseless sacrifice!" Nagano muttered. Originally, these naval officers and sailors could not have died. However, because of the orders of the high-level, they died on the sea.

This is not the most critical, the most critical thing is that the Chinese Navy has not suffered any losses. What if they continue to want to shell Tokyo?

At 7:40 a.m. on April 24, 10, 4608 A.D., six destroyers of the Imperial Navy rushed into the Uraga waterway at a speed of 30 knots. According to the mine distribution map of the Uraga waterway obtained by the Military Intelligence Bureau, they easily avoided the mines laid by the Japanese Navy and quickly crossed the Uraga waterway.

Although, the coastal defense forces of the Japanese Navy carried out shelling, but in the face of destroyers with a speed of up to 30 knots, their shelling was simply powerless, nothing more than a waste of shells.

After the six 'Class A' destroyers, there were four 'Northern Seven Provinces' light cruisers. These light cruisers directly increased their speed to 25 knots, and then quickly passed through the Uraga waterway. During the passage of the Uraga waterway, the two twin 155-mm guns on the battleship continued to fire at the Japanese coastal defense positions on both sides of the waterway. Although, firing at high speeds, there is no accuracy at all. However, it still caused some casualties to the Japanese Navy.

After the four 'Northern Seven Provinces' light cruisers, there were two 'Longyao-class' battle cruisers. Two battlecruisers, also increased the speed to 25 knots. A battle cruiser with a displacement of up to 25,000 tons resembles a hill floating on the sea. As soon as it entered the Uraga waterway, it attracted all the shore fire power of the Japanese Navy. However, in the face of the 'Longyao-class' battlecruisers whose speed was increased to 25 knots, the Japanese Navy's shore fire protection was still powerless, and the shells could only chase the 'Longyao-class' battlecruisers of the Imperial Navy. The distance of ten kilometers is only more than ten minutes for the 'Longyao-class' battlecruisers.

Although the Japanese Navy's coastal defense forces wasted a lot of shells, not a single shot hit the two 'Ryuyo-class' battle cruisers. (To be continued.) )
