My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 604
The Myoko's ship was on fire, and the main gun at the tail was also destroyed. The deck was in chaos, and the charred bodies were still burning with flames all over the place.

The devil's sea soldiers immediately dragged two high-pressure water cannons to fight the fire, but more and more fighter planes pierced the sky, and the situation became precarious.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang...!"

Another pirate launched a low-altitude strafing, and the airborne rockets swished toward the ship, and the flames instantly swallowed up all life along the way.

The six .50 machine guns on the plane also let out a deadly roar, and everywhere they went were stumps and broken arms.

"早く火を消しに行きます!"

"Hurry up and save people!"

The pipe of a high-pressure water gun was pierced, and the gushing water mixed with blood flowed all over the deck. The surrounding corpses were shocking, and the cruel scene tortured the little devil's heart...

Seeing that a gap was opened in the defense line of the Japanese ships, other formations also began to attack the Myoko side, and more and more fighter planes surrounded them, causing the pressure on the little devils on the Myoko to suddenly increase.

No one noticed that the two Beaufort torpedo bombers quietly bypassed the middle section with the most intense firepower, came to a place two nautical miles away from the right flank of the enemy fleet, flew as low as possible close to the sea surface, and slowly approached.

Now there is a loophole in the right wing of the Japanese fleet. A Bailu-class destroyer was blown up and is sinking into the sea. The Myoko was severely damaged and its air defense firepower was greatly reduced, which happened to give the torpedo plane an excellent opportunity.

As the distance got closer and closer, the sharp-eyed Japanese sailors on the Myoko ship also spotted their whereabouts. Feeling bad, they hurriedly operated the side machine guns to block the opponent.

The bullets swished towards the target, but the only thing that could be quickly adjusted on the side was a 93-type 13.2mm anti-aircraft machine gun, but no matter in terms of range or power, it was a bit painless for the Beaufort torpedo bomber. Coupled with the distance problem and the lack of accuracy, a few small maneuvers made it difficult for the Devil machine gunner to bite the target.

While other high-angle guns are still dealing with the threat from overhead, it is difficult to level off and attack enemy aircraft on sea level in a short time.

The desperate little devil could only do useless work with the machine gun in his hand, and watched the opponent getting closer and closer.

At a distance of about one kilometer between the two sides, the pilots of the two Beaufort bombers decisively dropped the two 18-inch anti-ship torpedoes carried on the fuselage.

The two torpedoes fell into the water perfectly at a standard angle. The propellers at the tail rolled up a lot of air bubbles in the water and began to push the body forward, and the two planes immediately turned around and left the battlefield.

Further forward is the absolute lethal area of ​​the opponent's anti-aircraft machine guns. No matter how brave they are, they would not dare to drive this cumbersome bomber into the enemy's firepower network.

The officers in the control room of the Myoko ship tower quickly received the report from their subordinates. The situation was imminent and there was no time to think about it. The captain immediately ordered the rudder to be turned to starboard to avoid the torpedo coming at a high speed.

However, due to the continuous harassment of fighter planes in the sky, it was difficult for the already severely damaged Miaoko to quickly turn around.

Moreover, the location of the torpedo launch is very close, the speed can reach 37 knots, and it takes less than 60 seconds to cover a distance of one kilometer.

Soon, under the horrified eyes of many Japanese sailors, two torpedoes dragging the wake slammed into the middle and rear of the ship.

Two loud bangs and a violent explosion came as promised, shaking a column of water soaring into the sky, and all the sailors on board were shaken to the side.

The huge gap where the torpedo was attacked was like the mouth of a giant beast that opened its bloody mouth, and the sea water kept pouring into the cabin, swallowing countless little devils...

As a large amount of seawater poured into the cabin, the bow of the Ashigara began to tilt slowly, and it was only a matter of time before it sank.

Unsurprisingly, the Japanese captain reluctantly gave the order to abandon the ship. After receiving such a strong attack, the life of the heavy cruiser also entered a countdown.

In an instant, the little devils jumped into the sea scrambling to be the first, their ears were full of miserable yells, and countless hands were thumping in the water.

At this time, the fighter planes in the sky did not intend to let them go, and the machine guns swished at the Japanese soldiers in the water. The blood almost stained the sea water red. There were not enough lifeboats, and more soldiers drowned alive trying to escape. on the way.

In less than half an hour of the battle, a destroyer and a heavy cruiser were destroyed one after another. Such a result made the naval fleet commander so angry that he almost had a heart attack.

If the enemy's second wave of attack formations rushed to the battlefield, it would probably be difficult for the remaining ships to escape unscathed.

His intuition told him that the opponent should not have used his full strength, and there seemed to be more fighters in the sky.

The enemy fighter group was still attacking, and the b17 sky fortress also began to bomb the Japanese army in Yangon City, and together with the army artillery, they staged a massive artillery baptism.

Hundreds of aerial bombs fell on the ground like hailstones and exploded into flames. No matter how strong the building was, it was turned into a pile of rubble in an instant.

All of a sudden, the battlefield was surrounded by explosions, and there was no place to be idle. The opponent perfectly explained what it means to suppress firepower at different levels.

……

At this time, the front command post of the 88th Army was brightly lit, the radio was beeping non-stop, and officers were busy everywhere.

Liao Mingyu has been standing in front of the observation window for two hours since the attack started, like an old monk in meditation.

At this time, he still maintained a high degree of concentration, quietly watching the movements on the battlefield, and rarely spoke except for occasional inquiries.

After all, all offensive missions were planned and planned in advance, and now the troops were just carried out in sequence according to the original plan. The test was their tactical ability and the cooperation between the various troops. As long as there were no accidents, there was basically no need to worry about it.

Liao Mingyu embraced his chest with his hands full of thoughts, tapping his arms rhythmically with his fingers, remembering how passionate he was when he led soldiers to fight in the past, and the tormenting pressure on the line of life and death still has lingering fears in his heart.

But now that he is in a high position, he naturally has more things to consider, and he will never charge forward like before. At the same time, even a small decision of his own will affect the lives of thousands of people.

"Report Jun Zuo, the 1st Regiment of the Armored Brigade has arrived at the designated location..."

At this time, the communications soldier came forward with the telegram and reported loudly:

"The 2nd Regiment of the Armored Brigade has arrived at the designated location and is ready for battle..."

"The 503th and 6th Battalions of the 7rd Regiment of the New 200th Division, the Tank Battalion and the Armored Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the [-]th Division, and the First Main Regiment of the Rong [-]rd Division. The above troops are all ready for battle and can join the battle at any time after waiting for orders!"

Liao Mingyu suddenly regained his spirits, frowning and immediately ordered: "Notify all troops, after the shelling and bombing are over, launch a general offensive across the board!"

"Understood!" The signal soldier replied with a salute.

The city of Yangon, which was full of gunpowder, has now become a possession, and even the arrogant Japanese fleet in the past has fallen into a dead end.

His eyes brightened, and the corners of his mouth raised a dangerous arc. With Stilwell's full support, if nearly two hundred planes can't surround your three heavy cruisers, they should die.
