At the last moment, the U.S. Navy personnel constantly used lights to signal to everyone that this is a medical ship, which should not be attacked according to international practice, and even the white flag of surrender was played in the final stage to pray for the Japanese navy to protect it. Thousands of lives left. However, all this was finally ignored!

The Japanese used tons of artillery shells and at least 3 torpedoes to sink this poor medical ship. This transport ship with a displacement of 15,000 tons even formed a huge vortex on the sea when it sank. Some people who tried to escape were taken to the bottom of the sea by the vortex. So that tonight, in just 7 minutes of attack time, the total number of dead and missing persons on the Angel was as high as 1,350! It set a record for the highest loss of personnel in the history of the US military. This record lasted until World War II was broken!

"Damn, the Japanese just sank the Angel! There are nearly a thousand wounded on it! This group of demons!" Pershing who received the news was already out of anger! At this moment he swears that he will never forgive any enemy!

"Order, so some shore artillery fired at the sea immediately! Even if we can't penetrate their armor, we have to tell the demons by our own actions that we will never succumb!" And along with the order, a large number of The US army’s heavy artillery began to attack the Japanese fleet that was hunting at high speed, 155MM cannon, 203MM heavy howitzer! Even the 105MM howitzer was added to the sea attack, but how do you say the effect? It did distract the Japanese navy and allowed a small number of transport ships to escape, but for Japanese battleships, the actual lethality of this shelling is really limited!

"The U.S. Army’s artillery is so bad. I really don’t know how much waste the red deer of the Army have to be suppressed by this kind of fire." A Japanese naval officer looked at the U.S. artillery's face that was constantly shining in the distance. There was disdain on it. However, just before the mockery on his face had faded, a huge fireball suddenly burst out on a destroyer not far from him! There is no doubt that this poor fellow was hit by a heavy artillery shell!

This is a shell fired from a 203MM heavy howitzer. Because the trajectory of the howitzer is relatively curved, the shell hit the deck of this Japanese destroyer with a very large angle of impact! The penetration of the 8-inch high-explosive grenade is rubbish, and the body is very fragile, but the Japanese destroyer deck is also undefended! So, after the two crispy skins collided, the shell finally proved that it was still harder! It directly exploded through two layers of steel plates and exploded in the boiler cabin! With a violent explosion and a plume of smoke rising into the sky, this poor Japanese destroyer also set a record! The first naval battleship sunk by the US shore artillery in this war!

"Prepare part of the artillery to suppress the artillery positions on the shore." Shimura Yasuo suggested.

"Well, let's do this, but remember that our first goal is still the US military transport fleet." Shigeru Taro Yoshimatsu said.

At the time of the initial attack, the Japanese Navy was still worried about the possible appearance of the US fleet, but more than 20 minutes after the attack was launched, there was still no large-scale resistance, which made them tense for a night. Relaxed, so the Japanese fleet, which became more bold in the **** killing, began to hunt more unscrupulously. The range of destroyers' activities became farther and farther away from the fleet that they needed to protect, and the formation of battleships became loose. Come on! Before, the Japanese Navy was an army, but now it has become a bit like a group of bandits! They were confused by the "treasure" in front of them, and became more and more mad!

"There is a parable that says that whoever God wants to perish will inevitably drive him crazy! Now, the Japanese are already crazy, and our task is to make them perish! I hope that in the next battle, We abandon all mercy and redemption, we are fighters, only responsible for killing, no mercy and never forgive!" Old Fletcher said firmly.

Just now, old Fletcher witnessed the massacre and atrocities of the Japanese army, and witnessed the sinking of the medical ship Angel. For all this, he was deeply angry! But he still suppressed the urge to explode, and completed his hunting step by step. After the Japanese army approached the coast, he began to outflank from three directions! And now is the time to close the net!

Five armored cruisers launched attacks from two directions at the same time! And a large number of destroyers blocked the last gap! When the six 10-inch guns on the San Francisco spewed long flames, the US Navy fired its first counterattack tonight!

The three armored cruisers of San Francisco, Portland, and Atlanta formed a neat line of battle. From the north side of the Japanese light cruiser detachment, they traveled in parallel, with 18 10-inch guns and a large number of 6-inch guns. Roaring, every minute, several tons of shells can be smashed into the Japanese light cruiser fleet!

This time, the U.S. fleet is really fighting. They suppressed the anger in their hearts and carefully approached their opponents as much as possible! Use the night background to cover their whereabouts, and even before the attack, they did not fire flares or turn on searchlights as usual~lightnovelpub.net~ because at this time, the burning battleship wreckage in the offshore area and the fire from the Japanese light cruiser shooting Enough to guide the attack of the US fleet! Before the final attack, the US Navy's armored cruiser was only about 4600 meters away from the target!

10-inch armor-piercing projectiles weighing 250KG roared from a distance. When the Japanese saw the orange fire from the heavy artillery, they did not even react. These projectiles with a muzzle velocity of over 800 meters per second were fierce. Smashed in the Japanese fleet! Even though the American artillery skills are worse, but at such a close distance, the Japanese are still beaten and beaten!

The first to suffer was the Kiso! The side of this poor light cruiser was aimed at the side artillery array of the American armored cruiser like shark teeth! Two 10-inch shells hit the target one after another, and the violent impact and explosion made this poor light cruiser shake like chaff!

A 6-inch gun at the bow was directly connected to the turret and was blown into a burning iron box, while another shell opened a huge hole in the stern, which directly brought more than 200 tons of water into the warship. ! The seawater squeezed and tore the broken hole, making a tingling sound.
