This was definitely the most tragic moment I have ever experienced. The Americans had ambushed in their hands. They rushed out when we had the advantage and surrounded us completely with fierce firepower and flexible maneuvers. We don’t know that the Americans had killed more warships in total, and we don’t know where they were. I could only see a line of fire connected in the distance, countless shells were shot from all directions, a large number of torpedo boats were crushed in the storm of iron and fire, and our escort destroyers were also sunk one by one. The two escort destroyers who survived could only choose to bravely rush to the shallows to avoid the other party’s attacks. "After the war, Nagano Cleano recalled the scene at that time.

"35 minutes, the time is just right." When the sea calmed down again, Halsey subconsciously looked at the watch. "Send a signal to the second team of mine-sweeping destroyers, saying that it has been cleaned up and let them continue to sweep mines." Two destroyers were left to rescue the naval officers and soldiers who fell into the water. The battle-sick destroyers temporarily evacuated the battlefield to wrap their wounds, while another team of five destroyers entered the battlefield and began to continue sweep mines. According to the schedule of the US fleet, about half an hour later, Sims would bring the main force of the US fleet here. At this time, the minefield should have been cleaned up. According to Halsey's words, the time is just right!

As Nagano Cultivation expected, his fleet caused some trouble to the Americans. With absolute crushing power and careful combat plan, the Americans successfully understood the first line of defense deployed by the Japanese. Battleships showed huge figures under the luminous light. They walked towards the battlefield like ancient war gods. Then the rangefinder on the mast was like the head of the war god. They looked into the distance and locked in the scattered buildings and wells on the distant islands!

The giant picked up the spear in his hand, aimed at the oil field of Taragen Island in the distance and the facilities next to him. The seaplanes sent out in advance surrounded the target area, and from time to time threw down a flare to light up the target area. They were staring at the battlefield like soul harvesters wandering on the battlefield, eager for the outbreak of the battle and the sacrifice of blood and fire!

"Fire!" The order to start the attack was quickly spread to every battleship. The eight most advanced super fearless battleships of the US Navy set up a huge battle line on the sea. When all the battleships opened fire, the dark sea surface was like a volcano erupting! The flames and smoke could be seen clearly even dozens of kilometers away. The orange flames turned the main sea area into a day. The symphony composed of flames and explosions made people think of the legendary dusk of the gods. Nearly a hundred tons of steel flew out of the running mouth and flew to the target in the distance with the breath of destruction!

These shells flew towards different targets in the air. After a few dozen seconds, a ball of flames and violent explosions sounded on Dalagen Island. The violent vibration even made people suspect that the island was trembling under the irresistible power! The entire island can be seen falling into the southwest part of the flames. This is just the beginning. Tonight, the US fleet will pour thousands of tons of ammunition into one of Japan's most important oil fields!

When the artillery fired, everything was destined. Everything in the southwest part of Dalagen Island would be destroyed. The Japanese could not do anything about it. The first one was destroyed was the refinery. The towering distillation tower was the most conspicuous of all targets. It clearly standardized its position. The equipment and the surrounding pipelines and factories together with it became the target of the US military's key strike.

Under the continuous blows of tons of shells, the distillation tower was first cut off the top cover, and then the 16-inch shells were fired to cut it off in the waist. Then the flying shells wiped the distillation tower from the ground together with the base below, leaving only a huge crater! The surrounding pipelines and factories were also unable to escape in this attack, and the gasoline and kerosene, which had not yet been transported away in the refinery, helped the evildoer to be abused. These oils burned wildly and splashed flames on all the items around. Under the blow of the sea breeze, the sea of ​​fire spread around. A fire owner who was hundreds of meters high rose up in the factory. Even with the naked eye, you can see the huge air flow caused by the combustion. A seaplane that assisted the shooting on it crashed due to the airflow disturbance problem. The entire shelling area became a huge flame hell!

Then there are the equipment and oil depots in the port area. In order to transport fuel more, the Japanese placed the oil depots in the port area. There were hundreds of thousands of tons of heavy oil or other oil sources, which were one of the important oil depots of the joint fleet. Now all this, as well as the remaining untreated fuel in the oil depot, have become the killer to destroy this port area! The oil depot filled with heavy oil was destroyed by artillery, and a large amount of extremely sticky heavy oil began to flow out, like a tide, rushing in the port area or even sea water.

It was difficult to ignite heavy oil, but Americans specially equipped them with professional incendiary bombs to ignite these heavy oils! So, under the powerful combustion agent composed of various metal powders and compounds, the black heavy oil finally ignited the forehead. In an instant, the entire port was illuminated by the flames produced by the heavy oil all over the ground! The fuel containing a lot of impurities produced black smoke, which contrasted with the red flame to form a special beauty full of crisis and fear. Just like lava, the flames ignited everything they encountered with the flow of heavy oil. Countless buildings and people turned into ashes in the flames, and the crackling sounds of explosions and the collapse of buildings were like the wail of the end of the world.

Everyone was shocked, both the Japanese and Americans, they were shocked by the tactics and weapons developed by humans for more efficient destruction! However, war is war after all, and for victory, everything can give way. The Americans continued their own path of destruction. While attacking ports and refineries, they also pointed their muzzles at the oil wells standing in the distance!

Compared with surface targets such as factories and ports, the well is considered a point target, and the distance is very far, but this cannot stop the Americans' revenge** and their naval guns. The Americans specially designed an ultra-light shell with a weight of only 400 kilograms for the 14-inch gun. In this way, the shells can obtain higher initial velocity and longer ranges, and there is also the help of aircraft in the shooting. Therefore, at a distance of 27 kilometers, the US fleet launched a series of ultra-long-range shells at the oil well!
