Li Jianfeng took out the communicator and said: "Attention all units, our fleet has entered the waterway of Shimonoseki Port, Japan, and now I order: all ships will implement a blackout, only the bow and stern beacon lights are allowed to be turned on, and all other lights are turned off; Surrounding situation, all enemy ships are found to be sunk!"

The 49 Littoral Combat Ships agreed one after another, and the fleet immediately turned off the lights, and the lights on the bow and stern of the ship were so small that people on both sides of the channel could not see them at all. Originally, there were searchlights around the channel, but the power plant at the port has been shut down. Lin Yuan's troops were blown up, so all the searchlights became decorations.

The Japanese troops on both sides of the waterway were in chaos. They knew that there were warships of Lin Yuan’s troops in the waterway, but they couldn’t see anything. The Japanese commander decided that the coming Lin Yuan fleet was going to land, so he ordered the Japanese soldiers to stick to the waterway. The fortifications on both sides, just like this, the Littoral Combat Fleet sailed smoothly through the channel and entered the Seto Inland Sea.

Li Jianfeng saw that the shipping route in front of him suddenly widened, and he knew that he had entered the Seto Inland Sea, so he ordered: "All units spread out and search for Japanese transport ships, not one can be missed!"

The Seto Inland Sea is sandwiched between Kyushu Island, Honshu Island, and Shikoku Island. The length is only about 200 kilometers. Fifty Littoral Combat Ships are more than enough to control the sea. All units spread out according to the predetermined plan, looking for Japanese transport ships. It was the peak period for the Japanese army to transport troops from Honshu Island and Shikoku Island. There were more than [-] transport ships on the sea, and the two sides happened to meet each other.

Li Jianfeng's Littoral Combat Ship No. 001 first set its sights on a wooden steamer with a displacement of about [-] tons. Although this steamer has a small hull, the searchlights on the ship are quite large, illuminating two kilometers around the ship. The sea was bright and bright, and the Japanese flag on the ship was particularly eye-catching. Li Jianfeng then ordered his littoral combat ship to approach the wooden steamer and launch an attack.

At this time, the chief of staff asked: "Captain, what weapon should we use to attack? According to our experience in fighting that antique gunboat just now, we can use the main gun."

Li Jianfeng smiled and said: "Don't we have close-in defense guns? If we have good things, why don't we try them out? Just use close-in defense guns to attack!"

The chief of staff then ordered the gunners to attack the wooden steamer with close-in guns. The littoral combat ship approached the wooden steamer, and the gunner activated the power supply of the close-in guns. When shooting, it keeps rotating, so as to achieve a super high rate of fire of 5000 rounds per minute.

There was a "buzzing" sound from the power supply of the near-anti-aircraft gun, and the gunner immediately pressed the firing button. Dazzling fire burst out from the near-anti-aircraft gun immediately, and the armor-piercing bullets shot at the steam wheel like raindrops. Unable to resist, the armor-piercing bullets shot into the hull with little effort, and shot into the bodies of the Japanese soldiers in the cabin.

Armor-piercing projectiles are also mixed with armor-piercing blasting projectiles. Not all anti-aircraft guns use armor-piercing projectiles, because the cost of armor-piercing projectiles is much higher than that of armor-piercing projectiles, and near-anti-cannon is a weapon that requires a large number of shells , These armor-piercing explosive bombs were also filled with aluminum powder used to generate high temperature, and the high temperature after the explosion quickly ignited the wood on the ship.

The wooden hull suddenly ignited a fire. These transport ships were old, and the paint on the wood was not fireproof paint. The flames instantly lit up the night sky. After jumping into the water, the gunner cheerfully turned the muzzle to the water, frantically killing the Japanese soldiers in the water.

One minute later, the transport ship made a loud "boom", and a ball of flames shot up into the sky. The transport ship sank quickly in the flames. The Littoral Combat Ship No. 1 made the first battle. The attack was launched, and twenty transport ships sank before the Japanese army understood what was going on.

With the dispersal of fifty littoral combat ships, more and more Japanese transport ships entered the sight of Lin Yuan's fleet, and the Japanese soldiers on the transport ships did not understand what happened. The destroyer had already entered the Bungo Channel, but they were not worried, because they knew that the waters near the Cape Sada peninsula were very shallow, and the Shenshou-class destroyer could not pass through at all.

The Japanese army was hanged and beaten by the Lin Yuan fleet in a state of confusion. The littoral combat ship encountered a large ship with main guns and a small ship with machine guns. One after another, the transport ships exploded and sank. The Japanese army learned about the unsinkable transport ships. The Lin Yuan Fleet appeared and hurriedly turned around and fled into the port, but their speed was very slow, and they were ruthlessly wiped out after being caught up by the Littoral Combat Fleet.

Some fast-legged transport ships ran into the port, and Lin Yuan's fleet did not dare to chase after them, because there were Japanese guards in the port, Lin Yuan's fleet could cross the waterway of Xiaguan Port by surprise, but it would be difficult to enter the port to attack the Japanese army up.

The bloody night finally passed. The Japanese army was sunk with 50 transport ships, and more than [-] ships were on fire, floating on the sea, and would sink at any time.

At [-] o'clock in the morning on July [-], the transport team reported to Nogi Nozomi: "General, we were suddenly attacked by Lin Yuan's fleet last night and suffered heavy losses. We may not be able to transport troops to Kyushu Island during the day today."

Nogi Xidian said angrily: "How many warships can they have? The Seto Inland Sea is so large, can they block the entire sea surface?"

The captain of the transportation team replied helplessly: "Report to the general, they have used a brand-new warship. This kind of warship is very powerful and fast, just like the most ferocious shark in the sea. No, they are more powerful than the most ferocious shark." It is much more powerful, as long as our transport ships are dispatched, they will be wiped out. This new type of warship is not only super powerful, but also has a huge number, according to our statistics, there may be more than 50 ships!"

Nogi Noki took a breath, and thought to himself: "More than 50 ships? Where did they come from?" Nogi Noki looked back at Mizuki Nagata at this time, and asked, "Mizuki, where are our reinforcements coming from?" How much?"

Mizuki Nagata said: "Report to the general, two divisions have come, 12 people, and there should be five more divisions in the future."

Nogi Nozomi said: "There are only two divisions here, no, I must let the next five divisions come over and pick up Togo Heihachiro for me." When the phone was connected soon, Nogi Nozomi said: "Mr. Dongxiang, Did you hear what happened last night?"

Togo Heihachiro said: "Nogi-kun, I heard about it, and I have already investigated it clearly. These warships all passed through Shimonoseki Port, and I have seriously criticized the guard of Shimonoseki Port."
