The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 2719: destroy

"This is definitely the most tragic moment I have ever experienced. The Americans had ambushes in their hands. They rushed out when we had the advantage and completely surrounded us with fierce firepower and flexible maneuvers. We didn’t know that the Americans altogether There are many killer warships here, and we don’t know where they are. I can only see a line of fire connected together in the distance, countless artillery shells shot from all directions, a large number of torpedo boats in the storm of iron and fire Shattered, and our **** destroyers were sunk one by one. In the end, the two **** destroyers that survived had no choice but to bravely rush to the shallows to avoid the other's blow." After the war, Nagano Slim recalled the scene at that time.

"35 minutes, the time is just right." When the sea calmed down again, Halsey glanced at his watch subconsciously. "Send a signal to the second team of mine-sweeping destroyers, saying that it has been cleaned up and let them continue to clear the mines." Two destroyers were left to rescue the naval officers and soldiers who fell into the water. Enter the battlefield and continue to sweep mines. According to the timetable of the US fleet, Sims will arrive here with the main force of the US fleet in about half an hour, and by this time the minefield should have been cleared. According to Halsey, the time is just right!

As Nagano's self-cultivation had expected, his own fleet caused a little trouble to the Americans. With absolute crushing power and a careful combat plan, the Americans successfully understood the first line of defense deployed by the Japanese. , The battleships showed huge figures under the luminous light. They walked towards the battlefield like ancient gods of war. Then the rangefinder on the masts looked like the heads of gods of war. They looked into the distance and locked the island on the distant island. Lots of buildings and motorized wells!

The giant picked up the spear in his hand, and a huge artillery aimed at the distant Taragen Island oil field and nearby facilities. The seaplane sent out in advance circled the target area and dropped a shot from time to time. Fire flare to light up the target area. They look at the battlefield like soul reapers wandering on the battlefield, longing for the outbreak of battle and the sacrifice of blood and fire!

"Fire!" The order to start the attack was quickly communicated to every warship participating in the battle. Eight of the most advanced ultra-dreadnought battleships of the U.S. Navy laid out a huge battle line on the sea. When all the warships opened fire, The dark sea is like a volcanic eruption! Pieces of firelight and gunpowder smoke can be seen clearly even from dozens of kilometers away, and the orange flame turns the main sea area into daylight. The symphony of flames and explosions reminds people of the dusk of the legendary gods. Nearly a hundred tons of steel whizzed out from the running mouth, flying towards the distant target with the aura of destruction!

These shells flew to different targets in the air. After dozens of seconds, fires and violent explosions sounded on Taragen Island. The violent vibrations even made people suspect that the island was under irresistible power. Shivering! The entire island can be seen falling into the southwest part of the fire. This is just the beginning. Tonight, the US fleet will dump thousands of tons of ammunition in one of Japan's most important oil fields!

When the artillery sounded, everything was doomed. Everything in the southwestern part of Taragen Island would be destroyed. The Japanese could do nothing about it. The first to be destroyed was the oil refinery, and the towering distillation tower was the most targeted of all. Conspicuously, it has clearly defined its position, and this equipment, the surrounding pipelines and workshops together with it have become the key targets of the US military.

Under the continuous blow of tons of shells, the top cover of this distillation tower was first cut off, and then 16-inch shells had been fired to cut it off. Then the flying shells wiped the distillation tower and the base below from the ground, leaving only a huge crater! The surrounding pipelines and factories were also not immune from this attack, and the light and volatile fuels such as gasoline and kerosene that had not had time to be transported from the refinery were even more helpful. These fuels burned wildly and spilled flames around. With the sea breeze blowing, the sea of ​​fire spread to the surroundings. A fire master with a height of hundreds of meters rose in the factory building. Even with the naked eye, the huge air flow caused by the burning can be seen. The seaplane that assisted with orthopedic shooting crashed due to airflow disturbances. The entire shelling area has become a huge flame hell!

Then there are equipment and oil depots in the port area. The Japanese put oil depots in the port area for more transportation of fuel. There are hundreds of thousands of tons of heavy oil or other fuels. It is one of the important oil depots of the joint fleet. Everything, as well as the remaining unshipped fuel in the oil depot, has become a killer to destroy this port area! The oil depot full of heavy oil was destroyed by artillery ~lightnovelpub.net~ A large amount of extremely viscous heavy oil began to flow out, like tidewater, like a port area or even sea water.

Originally, heavy oil is difficult to ignite, but the Americans specially equipped professional incendiary bombs to ignite these heavy oils! As a result, under the action of powerful combustors composed of various metal powders and compounds, the black heavy oil finally ignited. In an instant, the entire port was illuminated by the flames of heavy oil all over the ground! The fuel that contains a lot of impurities produces thick black smoke, which contrasts with the red flames to form a special beauty full of crisis and fear. Like lava, the flame ignited everything it encountered along with the flow of heavy oil. Countless buildings and people were turned into ashes in the flame. The crackling sound of crackling and the collapse of buildings were like the wailing of the last days.

Everyone was shocked, whether they were Japanese or Americans, they were shocked by the tactics and weapons invented by mankind for more efficient destruction! However, war is ultimately a war. In order to win, everything can give way. The Americans continue their path of destruction. While attacking ports and refineries, they also aimed their guns at the distant oil. Motor well!

Compared with the area targets such as factory buildings and ports, the motorized well is considered a point target, and the distance is very far, but this cannot stop the Americans’ desire for revenge and their naval guns. The Americans specially designed a weight for the 14-inch gun. There are only 400 kilograms of ultra-light shells. In this way, the shells can obtain a higher muzzle velocity and a longer range, and there is also the help of aircraft in the correction. Therefore, at a distance of 27 kilometers, the United States The fleet fired an ultra-long-range artillery shell at the oil well!
