Chapter 759: Shelling Tokyo (ask for a monthly ticket)

   "Increase the speed, increase the speed to the maximum!" Captain Tsukamoto Kakuma, the captain of the destroyer Hayate of the Japanese Navy, gave the order with a grim expression.

  Lieutenant Katsushige Tsukamoto knew that this attack was almost a narrow escape. However, for the safety of Tokyo, they must find a way to sink all these German warships. Otherwise, Tokyo will be destroyed by these Germans.

  The captains of the destroyers of the navy of other island countries almost all launched the attack with such a death mentality. This time they really put life and death aside, they just wanted to sink the German warship and defend Tokyo.

  More than a dozen destroyers of the navy of the island nation rushed towards the German expeditionary fleet like arrows leaving the string. The first few battlecruisers that passed through the Uraga Waterway became the focus of the German Navy's destroyers.

   However, the reaction of the navy of the island country is still too late. When they launched the attack, all the light cruisers of the German Expeditionary Fleet had passed through the Uraga Waterway, and several destroyers had also passed through the Uraga Waterway. They immediately joined in the protection of the battleship.

   "Fire! Sink the Islander destroyer!"

  Under the officer's order, the German expeditionary fleet launched a counterattack.

   "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

   The battlecruiser's 380mm main gun, 150mm secondary gun, 120mm rapid-fire gun, the light cruiser's 150mm naval gun, and the destroyer's 88mm naval gun all fired violently. The dense shells enveloped the destroyers of the island navy like a storm.

  The shells continued to explode around the destroyer, and the splashed water column drenched the destroyer as if it was soaked.

   "Boom!"

  A 150mm artillery shell hit the destroyer Gale which was advancing rapidly. A destroyer with a displacement of only a few hundred tons cannot even withstand 150mm shells. A large hole was blown out of the bow deck. At the same time, the forward speed of the battleship was also affected.

   "Baga!" Captain Tsukamoto Katsuma couldn't help but cursed.

   But then, the shells of the German expeditionary fleet seemed to be more violent, although most of them were small-caliber shells. However, such a dense shell is still not something a small warship like the destroyer Gale can bear.

  The entire hull of the destroyer Gale was blown to pieces, and a raging fire ignited, looking very bad.

  Just a few minutes later, the destroyer 'Hailstorm' sank into the sea due to severe damage to the hull. The torpedoes carried on the destroyer had no chance of being launched at all. Not to mention a threat to the battlecruisers of the German Navy.

  The destroyers of the navies of other island countries did not end up any better than the destroyer Haifeng. Under the fierce firepower of the German expeditionary fleet, these destroyers were blown up one after another.

   Especially the destroyer destroyed by the 380mm main gun of the battlecruiser is even more miserable. The power of the 380mm artillery shell is too great. If one shot goes down, the ship will almost be destroyed.

  The charge of the island navy destroyer formation is very tragic. Even though they knew that they were close to death, none of them were scared, and they were still charging desperately until their battleship was destroyed by the powerful artillery fire of the German expeditionary fleet.

  In the end, more than a dozen destroyers of the navy of the island nation were all sunk, and none survived. Among these destroyers, only a few had the opportunity to launch torpedoes. It's just that the torpedoes launched in a panic could not pose any threat to the capital ship of the German expeditionary fleet.

  When the flagship battlecruiser "Mackenson" of Lieutenant General Spee, commander of the German expeditionary fleet, passed through the Uraga Waterway, all the destroyers of the island navy had been wiped out. On the surface of the sea, there are wrecks of warships everywhere, as well as those island soldiers who fell into the water. After the previous decisive battle with the United Fleet, the officers and soldiers of the German Expeditionary Fleet no longer took the initiative to rescue the island navy soldiers who fell into the water. They knew that after the defeat, the soldiers of the island navy didn't want to live at all. So, there is no need to waste energy rescuing them.

"General, the remaining destroyers of the island nation's navy launched an attack on us just now. I have to admit that they are very brave. However, I also think they are very stupid. Because their attacks are useless at all, they are just a waste It’s just a few shells from us. It’s hard to imagine that those islanders dared to launch such an attack when they knew that our fleet was far superior to them.

"These islanders have always been like this. It's as if their heads were caught by the door. However, they got used to it later. If it's useless at all, that's not the case. At least, we used the shells in Behind them, there are not so many shells used to bombard Tokyo." Lieutenant General Spee said.

   "Yes, General. Maybe the islanders have such an idea, otherwise, I really can't figure out why they would launch a suicide attack on our fleet!" Rear Admiral Mao Fu said.

   "Order the fleet to march towards Tokyo! This time, we will destroy the capital of the islanders. Let the islanders know that if they do not accept the conditions of the empire, they will pay an unimaginable price!" Lieutenant General Spee ordered.

   "Yes, General!" Major General Maofu nodded, and immediately conveyed Lieutenant General Spee's order.

  The fleet approached Tokyo in a guard formation. Being able to destroy the capital of a country is something that every officer and soldier of the expeditionary fleet can be proud of for a lifetime.

  Of course, the killing behind this is not what they care about.

  Tokyo, the island cabinet still has not come up with a practical solution. Because of the resolute attitude of the army, it is impossible for Prime Minister Shigenobu Okuma and others to want the island government to accept the conditions proposed by Germany.

  When an admiral reported the battle situation to Admiral Yatsushiro Rokuro, Admiral Yatsushiro Rokuro's expression suddenly became very ugly.

   "Masters, the navy's destroyer fleet has been completely destroyed. The navy has contributed all its strength to this battle!" Admiral Yatsushiro Rokuro said.

   "Everyone, the German warship is approaching Tokyo, everyone should find a place to hide first!" Oka Ichinosuke finished speaking, and left the Prime Minister's Office.

  The other island cabinet ministers also went looking for hiding places with ugly faces.

  At 7 am, the German expedition fleet arrived at the sea less than ten kilometers away from Tokyo. Following Lieutenant General Spee's order, the German expeditionary fleet began bombarding Tokyo.
