Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1604 Influence
Two Japanese warships sank successively in the bombing of the Eighth Route Army.

The "Nagara" sank first. It was detonated and disintegrated from the ammunition depot. This made it difficult for the devil sailors on the "Nagara" to escape. Even those who jumped off the ship and escaped violently engulfed in waves and flames.

On the other hand, the "Kuma" class warship, even though its superstructure had been bombed badly by the anti-ship missile bombing, finally persisted for half an hour before slowly sinking due to internal water ingress.

This is the case with warships. If it wasn’t for the bombing of the ammunition depot or the bombing of the oil depot, the buildings above the waterline would not sink no matter how they were bombed. In history, the entire superstructure was blown up and burned, but they could still float on the sea. superior.

This is one of the reasons why naval battles in this period focused on using fighter planes to carry torpedoes to attack enemy warships... Torpedoes attack the target below the water line, and as long as one of them opens a big hole under the water line, it may sink the target , but the bomb is difficult to do this.

(That's why I had a very headache when I watched the movie Dunkirk. There are countless scenes in it that violate military common sense. One of them is that the warship loses balance immediately after a bomb goes down from a fighter plane and then sinks. The crew can't even dive. Too late...)
The destruction of these two warships caused a series of effects:
First of all, the devils stationed at HLD were indeed shocked as Wang Xuexin hoped.

These devils are placing their forces on open ground.

If there is a warship, it is right to do this, because the naval guns of the warship can provide them with fire cover. Instead, if the troops are placed on complex terrain such as houses in the city, it is difficult for the warship to know where the enemy is and how far away. Bomb the target in time.

but now……

They watched the imperial warship being blown into a ball of fire and fell silent one after another. While being shocked in their hearts, they also had to bear the consequences of the wrong deployment of troops...then they would have to bear the impact of being hit by Eighth Route Army tanks and half-track vehicles in the open field. as a result of.

So there was almost no suspense in this battle. Under the cover of mechanized troops, the Eighth Route Army tore through the devil's defense line at the fastest speed and surrounded and annihilated them piece by piece.

It's just that these devils fought very tenaciously, and the last 1000 people still didn't surrender. They were sticking to the houses and needed the Eighth Route Army to clear them one by one.

But these are not problems, the general situation of the devils is over and this cannot be changed, even if the devils are brave enough to resist one by one until the end.

Another impact was that after the news reached Naozaburo Okabe, he immediately realized that what he was worried about had happened.

"So it's not an airplane!" Okabe Naozaburo said, "It's a missile!"

Then Naozaburo Okabe came to his senses. He said in surprise, "A missile from the Eighth Route Army can actually hit our warship? And it's a moving warship?"

Warships on the move, indeed, because they had been scrambled into action during the missile bombardment.

Oshiroto Sanji asked: "Could it be that the Eighth Route Army also used the 'human missiles'?"

Naozaburo Okabe frowned, then shook his head: "If the Eighth Route Army wants to use 'human missiles', will they wait until now?"

There is nothing wrong with what Naozaburo Okabe said.

There was a period of time when the Eighth Route Army, the party that invented missiles first, was suppressed by the backward missiles of the empire. The reason was that the empire used "man-operated missiles".

If the Eighth Route Army is willing to use "man-operated missiles", it should be used at that time, so the devils will never have a time to suppress the Eighth Route Army in terms of missiles, at least they can draw a tie.

But the Eighth Route Army is useless, and they would rather be suppressed than use it.

Will it be used suddenly at this time?

Unlikely!
Then Ojoto Sanji understood: "It is the Eighth Route Army that has improved the accuracy of missiles. Not only has it improved, this missile can also hit moving warships!"

Naozaburo Okabe nodded with a very ugly expression, and said: "Although I don't know how the Eighth Route Army did it, but now it seems...they did it!"

At this time, Naozaburo Okabe and Toshio Naoi had a similar idea: Is the navy still useful?
Missiles improve accuracy and can hit warships, these are two concepts.

To improve the accuracy, it is possible to make it fly more stably, with smaller wind deflection and so on.

But if it can hit a warship and it is still a mobile warship, it means that this thing can chase the warship away like the air-to-air missiles of the Eighth Route Army.

Doesn't this mean that warships cannot approach the coastline of Huaxia?
What advantage does the Imperial Navy have?
If they stop on the shore again, not only will they not be able to play their due role, but they will be targets one after another!
At this moment, a staff officer ran in and reported: "Your Excellency, Chengde Airport was bombed by missiles from the Eighth Route Army, and our side suffered heavy losses!"

This is completely reasonable. Naozaburo Okabe didn't even need to ask, he knew that the missile that bombed the Chengde airport was the same missile that bombed the warship.

Okabe Naozaburo was right, Wang Xuexin did bomb Chengde Airport with an anti-ship missile.

Because once the anti-ship missile bombs the warship and proves its accuracy, there is no need to hide it anymore.

The first thing to hit must be Chengde Airport. This thing has become a thorn in Wang Xuexin's eyes, and of course it must be removed first and then quickly.

As for whether the puppet army will resolve the "misunderstanding" with the devils because of this.

Wang Xuexin thinks that this matter is not important anymore. The important thing is that the Eighth Route Army really has this missile, and it can also blow up the devil's warship...

In other words, the shock of the missile itself to the puppet army may be greater:

"The missiles of the Eighth Route Army can actually sink a Japanese warship hundreds of kilometers away?"

"If they can sink a warship hundreds of kilometers away, what else can they not hit?"

"Then if you know the Devil Command, can you blow it up right away?"

"Even a warship can be sunk, but can't it blow up the headquarters?"

……

This is equivalent to that the Eighth Route Army can fight wherever it wants, it is a question of whether the Eighth Route Army is willing or not.

If the battle has been fought like this, is the end of the devil still far away?

If the end of the devil is coming, is it still necessary to work for the devil?

So the puppet army was thinking about how to "decently" fall to the Eighth Route Army!

This is the equivalent of the first domino to fall...

At the beginning, the puppet army worked for the devils because they believed that the devils would win them in order to survive.

Today, the puppet army also believes that the Eighth Route Army will win, and they will turn to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army in order to survive.

This was quickly verified.

Because during the HLD battle, many puppet troops defected and cooperated with the Eighth Route Army to attack the devils from within!
