Chapter 2720： Night sky (1/2)

A long-range shell accurately hit one of the motor shafts, and the violent impact and explosion directly smashed the heavy steel support into two pieces! The motorized well that was more than ten meters high fell down with a roar, smashing the facilities next to it. The oil field is dozens of square kilometers. In these areas, there are hundreds of motorized wells, power stations, power houses and other facilities for walking. It is possible that this area will be hit hard, and the Americans are going to attack here with one-half of their projections tonight!

Fires burst into the sky in the oil fields. Although the Japanese had closed the oil wells, some of the remaining oil and combustibles could not be completely removed in one day. Therefore, this place is the same as the oil refinery and the port. Under the fierce bombardment, it turned into a fiery hell. The flames and the storm generated by the eruption wandered freely on the ground and in the air. They collided, burned, and burned everything on the ground. The effect of this attack was so outstanding. As for the fire that was not completely extinguished a week after the attack ended, of course, this is something later, so I won't mention it for now!

”We can't let the Americans just destroy our oil fields like this! Damn, did you know? The production capacity of Taragen Island's oil fields accounted for about one-third of the production capacity of the entire Japanese Empire on Kalimantan! And there There are hundreds of thousands of tons of fuel and other chemical products. Now, Americans can burn everything in just a few hours!” A Japanese officer pointed to a sea of ​​flames that had been shattered in the distance, and the bright light even shone the entire island. Said angrily.

”We must take action! We have bombers and torpedo planes, and the enemy is tens of kilometers away. We can launch a night attack!” Another officer roared at Lieutenant General Charles.

”This will disrupt our plan, and night air strikes are not as easy as you think, especially attacking mobile warships protected by other ships. Our torpedoes are set at a relatively large fixed depth, and torpedoes are launched in shallow waters. It’s easy to run aground directly. We have never studied how to throw torpedoes in shallow waters, so the effect of torpedo attacks will not be very good, and if the bombers are effective against battleships, the accuracy of attacks at night will also be poor.” Lieutenant General Charles looked at the roaring battlefield in the distance and said. ”Attacking now is tantamount to wasting tomorrow's combat power!”

”General, your call.” At this moment, a sudden call interrupted the dispute between the two parties. Charles hesitated and went to answer the phone in person.

”Now that the Americans have done it?” Betty's voice came over the phone.

”That's it, the Americans have done it, and the interception measures arranged by the Navy are useless. Those torpedo boats and destroyers should have been cleared.” Charles said.

”So how are the oil fields and refineries in Taragen Island now?” Betty's voice was still so calm.

”You should know that under the attack of nearly a hundred guns over 14 inches and thousands of tons of ammunition, the Americans are enough to destroy everything they want to kill.” Charles said.

”Take out one-third of the bombers from your hands to launch a night attack. We can't let the Americans destroy the oil fields of Taragen Island so unscrupulously.” Betty said.

”This will affect the effect of our attack tomorrow. We only have one chance, because the Americans will not take too long to destroy this place. They will evacuate before dawn, and they can run for nearly a hundred kilometers at dawn. So, Our bombers only have one chance. After the attack, if they reload, refuel, and form up, the Americans would have already ran out of the combat radius of most of our aircraft.” Charles said.
