Devil's Army

Chapter 2037 Battle with the Musashi Fleet at Haizhou

The entry of the Shandong Air Force into the battle quickly left the Japanese air force with no option but to parry.

After eliminating the Japanese fleet's fighter squadron, the Shandong and Zhejiang air forces of the First Army launched a full-scale air raid on the Japanese "Musashi" fleet.

At this time, the naval aviation force of the Qingdao aircraft carrier also took off to join the battle.

Three waves of aircraft took turns bombing and strafing the Japanese Musashi Fleet.

The Qingdao fleet also charged towards the Musashi fleet in a V-formation, firing fiercely as it charged.

The Japanese Musashi Fleet also charged toward the Qingdao Fleet in a triangular formation, firing fiercely as it charged.

In particular, the battleship Musashi, with its 460mm main guns, could create a massive wave with a single shell.

The Qingdao fleet's warships swayed from side to side in the big waves.

In order to cover the light aircraft carrier Qingdao, the destroyer Zibo of the Qingdao Fleet was hit by a shot from the battleship Musashi on its bridge, and the hull immediately cracked.

The naval soldiers quickly used blankets and other materials to plug the breaches that were constantly flooding in with seawater. The artillerymen who had been blown over quickly climbed back to their gun positions and used their still undamaged main and secondary guns to fire fiercely at the battleship Musashi.

The Japanese cruiser "Takashima" cut across and blocked the gunfire of the destroyer "Zibo".

The Japanese cruiser "Takashima" shielded the battleship "Musashi" from two shots. However, it also fired fiercely at the destroyer "Zibo".

The battleship Musashi was also hit in the bow by a shell from the main gun of the destroyer Zibo. But for the Musashi, which has a displacement of 10,000 tons, it was just a minor itch.

While the Takashima and Zibo were bombing each other, its main guns were aimed at the Zibo.

"Boom..." A series of explosions rang out, and the stern of the Zibo ship was hit by another bullet.

The Zibo ship, which had stopped the seawater from flowing in, cracked again, and seawater rushed in.

The Qingdao Fleet was consistently at a disadvantage under the fierce attacks of the Musashi Fleet.

In order to extricate the Qingdao fleet from its predicament, the First Air Force intensified its bombing of the Musashi fleet.

The Japanese Musashi Fleet had to focus its main efforts on dealing with the First Army Air Force.

Thanks to its massive main guns and dense anti-aircraft firepower, the battleship Musashi was not at a disadvantage for the time being.

Just as the two sides were locked in a fierce battle, the Dalian fleet of the First Army arrived and launched a fierce attack on the Musashi fleet from the flank.

The battleship "Musashi" was hit by the main guns of the cruiser "Dandong" and the destroyer "Yingkou" from the Dalian Fleet. One of its secondary guns was also damaged and jammed.

The Qingdao and Dalian fleets of the First Army engaged in fierce naval battles with the Musashi fleet of the Japanese Navy from two sides, with both sides suffering losses.

The First Air Force continued its fierce bombing and strafing of the Musashi Fleet.

The anti-aircraft firepower of several warships in the Japanese Musashi Fleet was destroyed. Their main and secondary guns also suffered some damage.

Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable for them, Takeshi Kumajiro had no choice but to order the fleet to retreat.

The Dalian and Qingdao fleets of the First Fleet immediately gave chase, but were met with fierce interception by the Musashi fleet.

The air force pursued and bombed and strafed the Musashi fleet, which was retreating at full speed. During the Musashi fleet's retreat, they sank one destroyer and one frigate.

However, the Dalian and Qingdao fleets of the First Fleet were unable to catch up due to the massive guns of the battleship Musashi.
