In previous naval battles, relying on overwhelming numbers of ships and powerful firepower, the fleet defeated the Fusō Navy with minimal losses.
Upon reaching the nearshore waters, they did not cease their voyage but instead launched a new round of bombardment in full swing!
Almost all of the Japanese warships were destroyed. At this moment, only a few warships remained on the sea. These were ships that had not participated in the battle and were now moored alone in the port, serving no purpose whatsoever.
Several large cannons were aimed at the ships on the shore of the harbor, and then the cannonballs were fired!
Those warships were hit, and the ships gradually began to sink!
Meanwhile, the Japanese coastal defense forces frantically set up their cannons to meet the attack from the coastal fortifications, but there were simply too many warships in sight, and more and more warships were sailing in from the sea.
In this situation, the Japanese soldiers on the shore were all in a state of panic, as chaotic as grasshoppers on a hot plate.
Takuma Yamanaka was sweating profusely. As an army soldier, he was unable to lead his soldiers in a counterattack at this time and could only rely on the coastal defenses to withstand the enemy's attack.
With so many ships and so many long-range cannons, there is no doubt that the coastal defenses could not hold out for long.
Once the coastal defenses are completely destroyed, the enemy will inevitably land.
"boom!"
On the coastal defense line, artillery fire from the sea has reached the front, many bunkers have been destroyed by the shells, and some soldiers have been hit by artillery fire!
"Quickly! Immediately relay the news of the enemy's impending attack and landing back to the Kyoto Imperial Palace!!"
"Have His Majesty the Emperor deploy more troops, and recall those troops stationed abroad immediately! We absolutely cannot allow them to breach our borders! Hurry! Hurry!!"
"We can't worry about anything else! Gather all the troops we can call upon right now!"
Takuma Yamanaka roared at the messenger.
Without daring to be negligent in the slightest, as this was an extremely urgent military matter, a group of messengers immediately spurred their horses and began to rush off in various directions!
Meanwhile, the fierce fighting around the coastal defense line continues!
On the sea, as the distance decreased, more and more ships sailed toward the shore, and cannons kept firing lead bullets, which bombarded the port fortifications!
Inside the port fortifications, the Japanese soldiers were sweating profusely as they frantically loaded lead bullets and fired them at the hundreds of ships on the sea!
Heavy smoke drifted along the coast, and the air was filled with shells fired by both sides!
And this was accompanied by a series of sharp whistles.
"Rustling!"
Countless fiery crows rose from the sea and flew towards the shore!
The Japanese coastal defense troops on the shore were momentarily stunned as they watched the divine fire crows hurtling towards them.
But then, countless divine fire crows shot down onto the shore!
Then—
"Boom boom boom!"
One sound, two sounds, three sounds, like a riot of colors blooming everywhere, they all exploded at the same time, bursting into a dazzling display of fireworks!
These flaming crows became scythes that reaped lives at that moment. Their explosions engulfed the Japanese soldiers in flames, and the sheer number of explosions in such a short time made them suffocate!
Flames! Flames everywhere!
The flames formed clusters and lines, and the flames attached to the person burned even more fiercely.
With their hair singed and their skin cracked open, hundreds of Japanese soldiers rolled on the ground in agony, desperately trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies.
But these flames cannot be extinguished easily; they are destined to burn to the very end. Before the coastline is captured, even more shells and rockets will be fired!
When we arrived at the nearshore area, it was dusk. The fierce battle had been going on for some time. Now the sun had set and the sky was extremely dark, but the fierce battle on the coastline was not over!
In order to successfully land in Japan, Qin Ze had previously exchanged for a large amount of ammunition!
The Japanese pirates landed in the East China Sea a few months ago and killed so many civilians. Now that they have come to Japan, these villains must be made to pay for their sins!
Qin Ze could not forget the death of Song Ke in Linbin City.
I will never forget the corpses of my fellow countrymen I saw in the city after the battle ended that day.
There were soldiers, civilians, the old and the young, men and women.
Some of them were heads of households, while others were young men. As fathers and sons, they chose to leave their homes when the Japanese pirates invaded, making a final effort to protect their country.
A coastal city has only a few hundred thousand people, but how many people are there in the entire East China Sea?
How many people were killed in the invasion of the Japanese pirates? How many families were destroyed in the invasion?
In how many places did countless nameless people die in the struggle against the Japanese pirates?
The once magnificent scenery of the East China Sea was burned, killed, and looted during the invasion. Not giving these enemies the greatest possible counterattack would be disloyal to the people and the country!
We must never forget! We must never forget this excruciating pain!
On the bow of the ship, watching the coastal fortifications riddled with holes and large numbers of Japanese soldiers abandoning their positions and fleeing from them, Qin Ze roared angrily:
"Prepare to disembark!"
"Charge! Take the port!"
Amidst roars, hundreds of ships began to approach the shore, and the soldiers on board were fully prepared!
By then it was dark, and the Japanese coastal defenses had been completely defeated. Yamanakajima Island on the shore knew that it was powerless to resist the enemy's landing under these circumstances.
Even so, we absolutely cannot allow them to seize the ports in western Sichuan.
With so many soldiers on this ship, if they were to invade the country, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Yamanaka Takuma shouted:
