Chapter 796: Unleashing Firepower

"Boom boom boom..."

Just after expressing his lofty ambitions, Yanagawa Heisuke was depressed by the sound of another violent explosion in the distance.

The most important thing is that the explosions were not simultaneous, but continuous.

This means that the ghost fleet is not simply playing a sneak attack.

To be precise, they did not launch a torpedo and then escape.

With the keen insight of an excellent senior commander, Yanagawa Heisuke knew that every big explosion meant that a ship was attacked.

"Boom boom boom..."

Suddenly, Yanagawa Heisuke heard a new explosion.

The point is that this explosion was more violent.

It is obvious that the arsenal of a warship happened to be hit by a torpedo.

"Baga!"

"Hurry up!"

"All of them are sunk!!"

"..."

Yanagawa Heisuke had already judged a fact that there were two Chinese submarines attacking this fleet.

As the supreme commander, although he can ensure that the enemy is sunk, Yanagawa Heisuke said that he cannot bear too much loss.

Also, the island country is poor in resources, and most of the strategic resources need to be imported.

If the loss is too great, that is, once several warships are sunk, he will not only fail to make merit, but will also be criticized by his superiors, even the emperor.

If he is unlucky, it is not impossible to be ordered to commit suicide by his superiors.

People know their own affairs best.

Yanagawa Heisuke knows that the island country has too obvious advantages compared with China.

Especially in the navy and air force, it has a crushing advantage over China.

In terms of the army, although their troops are not many, they can be expanded rapidly in a very short time.

Most importantly, Yanagawa Heisuke firmly believes that in terms of individual combat capabilities and team combat capabilities, the Chinese army and the island country army are incomparable.

What's more, in terms of heavy weapons of the army, that is, in terms of artillery and aircraft, the island country also has a crushing advantage.

In other words, to put it bluntly, even a pig can beat China.

Therefore, there are many senior officers in the island country who covet the position of commander of the 10th Army and have sufficient qualifications and connections.

Rumor has it that the royal family members can't sit still when they hear that the island country is going to war with China.

As a high-ranking lieutenant general, Yanagawa Heisuke knows a lot of inside information.

For example, the royal family members headed by the emperor's uncle, Lieutenant General Prince Asakahiko, are putting pressure on the emperor to lead the expedition.

Prince Asakahiko's purpose is obvious, which is to leave a name in history and satisfy his vanity.

Yanagawa Heisuke is convinced that once he fails to achieve results, his position will definitely be replaced by others.

Prince Asakahiko's status is too high, and he covets the commander-in-chief of the Central China Front Army.

He may not be looked down upon by others as the commander-in-chief of the 10th Army.

However, members of the royal family with lower status than Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko, especially the senior royal lieutenant generals, have long been jealous of this position.

Yanagawa Heisuke vaguely heard such a piece of news that was unfavorable to him.

It is said that considering that it would be difficult to convince the public to directly serve as the commander-in-chief of the Central China Expeditionary Army, Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko thought about transitioning to the position of commander of the Tenth Army first.

Thinking of these, Yanagawa Heisuke was no longer complacent, but became furious.

At this moment, he no longer thought about making merit, but instead thought about reducing losses as much as possible.

After all, the beach landing battle intensified, and more than 10,000 casualties had been suffered by his side.

This is not to mention that if nothing unexpected happened, several ships had been sunk by the ghost fleet.

What Yanagawa Heisuke didn't know was that in a short period of time, all the torpedoes were fired quickly. This was the result of in-depth communication between Ye Tian and Wu Yikui.

This time, Yanagawa Heisuke's Tenth Army came with more than 120,000 devils.

Too many ships are needed to transport these devils, especially the supporting weapons and equipment, as well as various other supplies.

Therefore, there is no doubt that this is a golden opportunity to create brilliance.

Of course, the greater the opportunity, the greater the risk.

On so many warships, in addition to large-caliber naval guns and more than 300 aircraft, there are also a large number of depth charges.

These things, casually, any one of them falls on the ghost fleet, it can easily sink it.

Also, the submarine is too small to withstand such a blow.

Therefore, if you want to take advantage of the characteristics of the submarine's small size, flexible movement, amazing combat effectiveness, and want to retreat safely, you must plan before you act.

In order to achieve the tactical goal, Ye Tian prepared two big moves.

First, in order to ensure a safe retreat, the two submarines must fight quickly, without deliberately aiming at the target, and quickly launch all the torpedoes.

Yes, anyway, there are too many devil warships and their positions are still very concentrated.

If you launch a torpedo and miss one, you will definitely hit another.

Second, relying on the terrain advantage, after launching all the torpedoes, quickly move behind the two small islands.

Then, wait for the Japanese to vent their anger, that is, after pouring out a round of firepower, dive deep and move away from the battlefield as soon as possible.

As Ye Tian expected, under the roar of Yanagawa Heisuke, nearly 100 warships, together with the 300 aircraft, entered the mode of indiscriminate bombing.

Unfortunately, before the Japanese started to counterattack, the ghost fleet had already hidden after launching torpedoes.

In other words, the Japanese poured so much firepower, but it was all in vain.

"Ga ga ga..."

Seeing that some warships had already started to move, trying to find the ghost fleet and chase them, Ye Tian couldn't help but laugh wildly.

Thinking of the upcoming grand event, with the help of the early warning function, Ye Tian slaughtered the Japanese who were landing while paying attention to the sea.

"Boom..."

As Ye Tian expected, a light cruiser was hit.

Its starboard side hit a large mine and caused a big explosion.

Compared with battleships, aircraft carriers, and heavy cruisers, light cruisers are small in size and start quickly.

These are the reasons for its first bad luck.

What made Ye Tian even happier was that because they couldn't figure out the situation under the water, judging from the posture, the Japanese thought that the ghost fleet had not escaped.

In other words, they didn't expect large mines, and thought that the ghost fleet was launching mines.

Therefore, although this light cruiser quickly entered the sinking mode, other warships still turned around and chased at full speed.

At the same time, the Japanese continued to pour firepower around the light cruiser.

There was a reason why the Japanese did this.

When the Battle of Songhu just started, the Chinese Navy took the path of fighting to the death.

Moreover, because they could not withstand the powerful navy of the island country, except for some small warships, they were basically wiped out.

Suddenly, looking at the sea in the distance, Ye Tian's smile slowly froze.
