BXBX NOVEL Chapter 713: heavy casualties
Because of the attack on the city, the German expeditionary fleet added a special batch of high-explosive bombs during the supply last night. The houses in the island country are all made of wood, and high-explosive bombs can play the greatest role.
"Boom!"
A 380mm artillery shell hit a courtyard, and the shock wave spread to all sides, directly razing the entire courtyard to the ground. The people who lived in this courtyard were killed cleanly.
"Run away! The Germans are firing."
The islanders in Shizuoka City scattered in all directions, trying to escape here. But how can a person\'s legs outrun a cannonball?
On the narrow streets, countless islanders are squeezing out of the city. A shell fell from the sky. After the explosion, a large area has been emptied. There were broken pieces of flesh and blood everywhere. A huge bomb crater was left on the street. Those who were lucky enough not to die groaned in pain on the ground.
"Damn the Germans, they are massacring civilians! Hurry up and report to Tokyo that we have been shelled by the Germans and have suffered heavy casualties. Please support!" A local official ordered loudly.
However, even if they report to Tokyo, it is obvious that the status quo in Shizuoka cannot be changed. By the time the rescue from Tokyo arrives, Shizuoka may have already been turned into ruins. What\'s more, Tokyo may not have the courage to rescue them.
On the sea, the nine battleships of the German Expeditionary Fleet lined up, firing fiercely, smashing shells one after another at Shizuoka, destroying the lives there, and blowing up the city into ruins.
Lieutenant General Spee stood on the bridge of the battlecruiser "Mackenson", watching all this with binoculars. Although it is too far away to see clearly. However, he could clearly see that the entire city was turning into ruins bit by bit.
"Order all light cruisers to join the attack. We need to destroy this place in the shortest possible time. Then, go to the next target!" Lieutenant General Spee ordered.
"Yes, General." Major General Mao Fu faithfully carried out Lieutenant General Spee\'s order.
After receiving the order, the eight light cruisers immediately moved forward to a place less than five kilometers from the coast, and fired fiercely at Shizuoka with naval guns. Although, the naval guns of these light cruisers are all 150 mm. However, for a city whose buildings are mainly wooden houses, it still has devastating power.
After the eight light cruisers joined the shooting, the speed at which Shizuoka was destroyed really accelerated a lot.
"My God! We are destroying a city with our own hands, and it feels so good!"
"Killing so many people, God will send us to hell."
"No, we will go to heaven. Because the islanders are not human at all, they are as thin as monkeys. Besides, it was the islanders who provoked the empire first. This time the empire is just a passive counterattack That\'s all."
The sailors of the German Expeditionary Fleet were joking and firing. It can be felt that they have almost no shame.
The island country seized Southeast Asia, which made the people in Germany very angry. The soldiers of the army wanted to kill all the islanders. It is precisely because of this that they have no resistance to the orders issued by Lieutenant General Spei.
At this moment, Shizuoka is like hell. Houses have been blown up or are burning. The streets are covered with large and small bomb craters. Broken limbs and broken arms can be seen everywhere.
The living islanders are fleeing the city. However, from time to time, shells exploded among the crowd, taking away fresh lives.
"Boom!"
A 380mm artillery shell fell on the road out of the city west of Shizuoka. At this moment, this road is already crowded with islanders who are about to flee the city. The power of the 380mm shell is undoubtedly very amazing. At least hundreds of islanders lost their lives in the explosion of this shell, and countless people were injured.
"God Amaterasu! Come and save us! What sin did we do to endure such pain?" An old man knelt on the ground and cried. His wife, son, daughter-in-law and grandson all died in the explosion. Even he himself lost his legs. There was no one to treat him at all, he could only feel that his own life was passing away little by little with the blood that was constantly flowing out.
For the islanders living in Shizuoka, this is undoubtedly a difficult day. The whole city burned in the explosion.
German artillery shells set the wooden houses on fire. What\'s more terrible is that the sea breeze is very strong, making the flames fly everywhere. Soon the whole city seemed to be on fire. Many islanders who did not have time to escape from the city were buried in the sea of flames and burned directly to ashes.
The shelling of the German expeditionary fleet lasted for two full hours before it ended. When they stopped shelling, Shizuoka was like a burning torch.
Ash rushed into the sky along with the airflow, covering the sky and even blocking the sun\'s rays.
"Let\'s go to the next city." Lieutenant General Spei gave the order coldly.
He knew that Shizuoka was finished. He didn\'t know how many islanders died in their shelling. But he knows that there will be many, many. However, he does not regret such an order. Who made the islanders unable to control their ambitions and dare to touch the empire\'s colonies? So, they have to pay for it.
Of course, Lieutenant General Shi Pei\'s heart is not peaceful. However, his good psychological quality prevented all of this from being shown.
"Yes, General!" Major General Mao Fu gave the order with an ugly face. Although he told himself over and over again, those islanders deserved to die. However, there is still some unnaturalness in my heart.
After receiving the order, the fleet withdrew from Shizuoka and went to the next target. The next one in Lieutenant General Spee\'s attack target is Hamamatsu in the south of Shizuoka, which is only a few tens of kilometers away from Shizuoka. It only takes two hours for the German expeditionary fleet to rush from Shizuoka to Hamamatsu. Lieutenant General Spee planned to destroy Hamamatsu in two hours, and then moved on to the next target. The third goal is Nagoya.
As long as the navy of the island country does not leave port to fight the German expeditionary fleet, they will continue to fight. Until all the coastal cities of the island country are completely destroyed.
