In the Pacific Ocean, the German expeditionary fleet is still resting. Although the battle with the United Fleet of the island countries did not cause them much loss. But many battleships took shells and needed simple repairs. Fortunately, except for the battlecruiser 'Moltke', the rest of the battleships were not seriously damaged, as long as the personnel on the battleship simply repaired it. Although the appearance of the battleship could not be restored, it looked a bit miserable, but in fact, its combat effectiveness was not affected.
In addition, the day's fierce battle made the soldiers very tired. Everyone fought fiercely for a day, and their spirits were also in high tension. In addition, I didn't drink any water and didn't eat any food. When the battle was over, many soldiers were directly exhausted and paralyzed.
Seeing this situation, Lieutenant General Spee ordered the fleet to withdraw from the offshore waters of the island country and head to the Pacific Ocean for cruising. Give officers and soldiers a certain amount of rest time. At the same time, we are also waiting for domestic orders.
After the expeditionary fleet wiped out the combined fleet of the island country, the next step is the contact between the foreign department of the government and the foreign department of the island country. If an agreement can be reached, that would be the best. Otherwise, they have to launch further attacks.
"General, will the islanders give in this time? It stands to reason that their navy has already been wiped out by us. They have no chance of making a comeback. Apart from compromise, they have no other choice!" Mao Major General Husband said.
"I don't know either. Let's wait for the news! The islanders are a very paranoid nation. It is impossible to use common sense to guess about them. Therefore, we can only wait for the situation and see their reaction." Lieutenant General Spei said .
Of course, Lieutenant General Spei, who has served in the Far East, knows well that the islanders will not succumb so easily. Even if they get rid of the combined fleet of the island nation's navy. But the islanders are very likely to continue to insist. Therefore, their tasks have not yet been completed.
"General, domestic telegram!" The communications officer reported.
Lieutenant General Shi Pei took a look at the telegram and couldn't help but smiled wryly.
"It seems that the islanders have not surrendered yet. The people ordered us to continue attacking the coastal cities of the island country, and we must make them bow their heads!" Lieutenant General Spee said.
"God! It's unimaginable that such a paranoid nation really exists. Don't they know that there is no point in resisting anymore? They have no capital to fight back. If we continue to attack, we will only Let them pay a higher price for this. Don't those islanders care about the casualties of their people at all?" Major General Mao Fu exclaimed.
Lieutenant General Spee shrugged helplessly: "Who knows? Maybe only God knows what kind of nation the islanders are! However, since the order has been issued, we only need to follow the order. Let the fleet do a good job. Get ready, let's execute orders!"
"Yes, General." Rear Admiral Mao Fu immediately conveyed the order to the ships.
The ships that were originally resting immediately regrouped and rushed from the Pacific Ocean to the offshore waters of the island country.
"The three cities of Shizuoka, Hamamatsu, and Nagoya in the island country have been destroyed by us. Then, we can enter Osaka Bay and attack the two cities of Osaka and Kobe. These are also important cities in the island country." Shi Peizhong will say.
"General, if we can break into Tokyo Bay and attack Tokyo directly, it may be more effective." Major General Mao Fu suggested.
Lieutenant General Spei nodded: "I know. However, Tokyo Bay is not so easy to get into. It is the capital of the islanders. They must be prepared there. The mines in the Uraga Channel alone are enough. Let's stop."
"Since the combined fleet of the islanders can come out of the Uraga waterway, they must have left a passage. If you are lucky, you may be able to find a safe way!" Major General Mao Fu said.
"Yes, but that's still too risky. We can't take risks unless it is a last resort. First solve the other island cities. If the islanders compromise, it will be the best. If they If we are still tough, then let's find a way to launch an attack on Tokyo!" Lieutenant General Spei said.
Lieutenant General Spei knows that Tokyo, as the capital of an island country, is understandable no matter how heavily defended it is. If they want to bombard Tokyo, it will undoubtedly be very difficult. If it is not done well, the fleet will suffer even greater losses. However, if it really comes to that point, and it is necessary to hit Tokyo to make the islanders succumb, then there is no way.
Osaka and Kobe, located in Osaka Bay, are Osaka and Kobe, two very important industrial cities in the island country. These two cities make up the Hanshin Industrial Belt. Although, the evacuation order of the island government has been issued. However, it has not been well implemented locally. A large number of factory owners are unwilling to abandon their industries at this time, which will cause them heavy losses. So they ignored government orders and stayed on. And this made them pay an unimaginable price in the subsequent shelling.
On August 15, the German expeditionary fleet entered Osaka Bay through the Kii Channel. Although the navy of the island country has built a lot of coastal defense forts on both sides of the Kii waterway. However, it is impossible for those old coastal defense batteries to withstand the powerful German fleet. Once the fierce artillery fire went down, these forts were blasted into ruins.
The news of the German expeditionary fleet's invasion of Osaka Bay also spread to Osaka and Kobe. The islanders living here hurriedly packed up their belongings and prepared to evacuate with their children.
Countless people rushed out of the city, and the originally narrow road was completely blocked. Automobiles, horse-drawn carts and rickshaws, plus people on foot, made it impossible to get through.
"Get out of the way! Idiots, you idiots, hurry up and disperse! The road is blocked, and no one can go. The Germans are coming, and there is only one dead end!" A middle-aged man stuck his head out of the car and shouted.
However, no one paid attention to him at all. When everyone wants to flee for their lives, the privileged class can't enjoy much preferential treatment.
At this time, the German expeditionary fleet has entered Osaka Bay, less than ten kilometers away from downtown Osaka!
"Fire!" Lieutenant General Spee personally issued the order.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The eight battlecruisers lined up in a row began to roar. One after another, the heavy shells roared and smashed into the downtown area of Osaka. Brutal killings were once again staged in the island country.
