    On the vast Pacific Ocean, a huge fleet consisting of two battleships, three heavy cruisers, two light cruisers and ten destroyers was sailing rapidly northward.  This fleet is the Chinese mainland fleet heading north from Naha Port.  While the main force of the Home Fleet is in the process of resting, this fleet is now the only fleet that the Chinese Navy can use in the Western Pacific.

    However, fortunately, there are no forces in the entire Western Pacific that can threaten the Chinese navy.  The British Navy's Far East Fleet was completely wiped out, the Japanese Navy was basically wiped out, and the Russian Pacific Fleet only had a few broken ships. The entire Far East Pacific region has become a place for the Chinese navy to sail freely.

    "Where are we now?" On the bridge of the battleship "Sichuan", Lieutenant General Li Haitao, commander of the squadron and chief of staff of the Chinese Home Fleet, asked.  Next to him stood Commodore Zhao Hongcai, the captain of the Sichuan.

    "Chief of Staff, according to the current speed, we will reach Kagoshima in one hour. Should we attack Kagoshima first? Four years ago, we bombed Kagoshima into ruins, but the small  Japan later rebuilt itself. Why don¡¯t we bomb it again now!" Zhao Hongcai said.

    "Don't be busy now, Kagoshima will be dealt with later. Let's go to Kobe first and destroy the Kobe Shipyard. This will prevent Japan from speeding up the outfitting of the two battleships." Lieutenant General Li Haitao said.

    "Chief of Staff, with Japan's speed, it is impossible to build those two battleships even by the end of this year. We can go all the way north, which can save a lot of time!" Zhao Hongcai suggested.  For him, these industrial facilities in Little Japan are all going to be destroyed anyway, so he might as well start from Kagoshima in the south. There is no need to go to Kobe first.

    "Do we dare to disobey His Majesty's personal order? Don't worry, this time, His Majesty has said that all Japan's industrial facilities will be destroyed and the entire Japan will be bombed back to the Stone Age. At that time, our army will land  , we can easily solve Little Japan!" Li Haitao said with a smile.  In this battle, he commanded the fleet to destroy the Japanese Navy's home fleet, which also made great contributions.  After the war was over, he had no choice but to move up to another level.

    "Haha, blow it back to the Stone Age, this is a good idea! Let the little Japanese go back to being monkeys and see if they dare to be so arrogant!" Zhao Hongcai laughed.  There is no possibility of reconciliation between China and Japan.  The soldiers of both countries want to completely eliminate each other.  In the view of Zhao Hongcai and other naval generals, it is best to completely deal with Japan, so that the world will be peaceful.

    At this moment, on the calm sea, the rising sun shines on the sea, casting a golden glow.  The huge fleet rode the wind and waves and moved forward indomitably.  And this fleet will bring huge disaster to Japan.

    At this time, Japan had already taken action.  A large number of machines and equipment began to be dismantled and transported to inland areas for storage, or into small workshops in residential areas to continue production in order to accumulate enough weapons and ammunition to prepare for the next large-scale war.  However, some large machinery, such as blast furnaces for steelmaking, gantry cranes for shipbuilding, etc., cannot be relocated. They can only wait to be destroyed by the Chinese navy.  When the Chinese fleet appeared in the offshore waters of Japan, it was immediately discovered by Japan.  Telegrams were sent to Tokyo one after another, and orders were sent down from Tokyo one after another. The whole of Japan was in turmoil.

    Because of the heavy losses suffered four years ago, Japan has been paying more attention to coastal defense in recent years. It has built forts in many important ports and equipped them with new coastal defense guns. Even if the navy is destroyed, it can  Preparations to protect the port.  However, land-based coastal defense guns are stationary, while battleships are mobile. In a battle between the two, battleships obviously have a great advantage.  After learning that the Chinese Navy's fleet was heading north, Japan immediately began to prepare.  They knew that the Chinese navy was definitely coming for the two battleships in the Kobe Shipyard.  Although everyone in Japan knows that they have no way to continue building these two battleships.  However, this does not mean that they do not want to have a battle with the Chinese naval fleet here in Kobe.

    Under the order of Prince Arisugawa Palace, the remaining cruisers and destroyers of the Japanese Navy were all concentrated in Osaka Bay, preparing to use torpedoes to teach the Chinese Navy fleet a lesson.  At the same time, the forts along the coast near Osaka Bay were all ready for battle, waiting for the Chinese navy to come.  The Army's two heavy artillery brigades also dispatched hundreds of 155mm heavy howitzers to assist in the battle.  Prince Arisugawa Palace Ehihito even rushed to Kobe in person to direct the battle.  JapanAlthough the main force of the navy has been annihilated, he believes that as long as there is one Japanese navy soldier, they will continue to fight.

    At eight o¡¯clock in the morning on March 19, the Chinese Navy¡¯s main fleet appeared outside Osaka Bay.  The emergence of a huge fleet put Japan under great pressure.  Perhaps they had already been notified, but when the Chinese fleet headed north, they did not encounter a single Japanese merchant ship or fishing boat.  Probably the Japanese knew that the Chinese navy would not show mercy, so in order to preserve their strength, they had no choice but to retreat first.

    "Chief of Staff, Osaka Bay is ahead. The Japanese Navy has deployed some coastal defense guns at the entrance of Osaka Bay and on the three islands of Kamijima, Tiger Island and Jijima. If we want to enter Osaka Bay, we must first clear these shores.  Clear out the anti-guns!" Zhao Hongcai said.

    "Then, let's take action!" Li Haitao ordered.

    Two battleships and three heavy cruisers of the Chinese Navy¡¯s Home Fleet Squadron were less than seven kilometers away from the entrance to Osaka Bay. They hit the ship horizontally and aimed their sides at the Japanese forts on the three islands at the entrance of Osaka Bay.  The cannon's coat has long been taken off, and its ferocious muzzle points diagonally toward the sky.

    At 8:20, the battleship Sichuan began to shake, and the three twin-mounted 305mm naval guns it carried began to fire a salvo.  The target is the Japanese Navy's coastal defense battery on Kamishima.  Orange-red light shone from the muzzle, and six artillery shells with more than 300 attacks had already hit the Japanese coastal defense fort on the island of God.  The battleship Xikang and three heavy cruisers followed closely and began bombarding the island of God.

    "Boom! Boom!" Earth-shaking explosions came from the island of God. Most of the Japanese Navy's forts had an open design and did not build solid turrets.  Therefore, the artillery shells selected by the Chinese naval squadron are all high-explosive shells.  High-explosive bombs may not be good at dealing with solid fortifications, but they are easy to deal with these exposed coastal defense artillery and Japanese soldiers.  When a cannonball is fired, there will often be no living creatures seen within hundreds of square kilometers.

    The Japanese Navy¡¯s coastal defense batteries on Kamishima only have two 203mm coastal defense guns and ten 155mm coastal defense guns.  Where are the opponents of the Chinese Navy's two battleships and three heavy cruisers.  As soon as the battle began, the entire fort was engulfed in a sea of ??flames.  The cannon was blown up and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties.  Although they launched a desperate counterattack, they achieved little results at all.

    Only twenty minutes later, the Japanese fort on the island was completely destroyed, and the Japanese guards on the island suffered heavy casualties.  After the God Island, it was the turn of the Tiger Island and the Earth Island.  On these two islands, the deployment of the Japanese navy is slightly worse.  In less than half an hour, the Chinese navy had cleared the way into Osaka Bay.

    9:20 am.  The Chinese naval squadron entered Osaka Bay.  In order to prevent the Japanese navy from launching a desperate attack, four destroyers entered Osaka Bay first, followed closely by two light cruisers.  Then came the heavy cruisers, and the battleships came last.

    As soon as the Chinese Navy entered Osaka Bay, it immediately encountered the remaining warships of the Japanese Navy.  Three old cruisers and five destroyers rushed towards the Chinese Navy at the fastest speed. The cruisers continued to shell, while the destroyers were preparing to launch torpedoes.

    The Chinese navy that entered Osaka Bay launched a fierce counterattack, and the battle was very fierce.  However, most of the cruisers and destroyers of the Japanese Navy are old and are no match for the Chinese Navy.

    In less than ten minutes, the Japanese navy's fleet was hit by bullets and set on fire.  In particular, the five destroyers preparing to release torpedoes were hit hard.  The torpedoes equipped by the Japanese Navy have a range of only one thousand meters, which makes them have to take greater risks if they want to launch an effective attack.

    "Boom!" A Japanese Navy destroyer that was racing wildly on the sea was hit by a 155mm naval gun shell on the bow of the ship, and the entire ship was blown up.  Under the fierce intrusion of sea water, it sank into the sea in less than two minutes.

    The Japanese navy fought very fiercely. Although they suffered heavy casualties, they refused to retreat.  In less than an hour, all the remaining warships of the Japanese Navy were sunk.  Especially after the Chinese Navy's heavy cruisers entered Osaka Bay, they followed and were unable to resist them.  If they choose to use the cover of darkness to launch an attack at night, they may be able to produce miraculous results.  Now?  It's basically sending him to death.

    After the final crisis was resolved, the main force of the Chinese naval fleet all entered Osaka Bay, heading towards their destination, Kobe.  Kobe is an important shipbuilding base in Japan, with excellent ports and a complete shipbuilding industry.  However, from now on, all of this will soon be reduced to ashes.

    At 10:30 in the morning, the Chinese Navy¡¯s Home Fleet squadron appeared ten kilometers offshore from Kobe and launched an artillery bombardment.
