Tokyo Detective

Chapter 405 The Battle of Tokyo Bay (Long Chapter)

The temporary combined fleet of three ships has arrived at Goi Port, since the Shipbridge Base is only 15 kilometers away from the port.

Yukawa Ryuuma, who commanded the mixed formation, was actually an "old acquaintance" of Hanyu Naoki. He had led a team to block the road on the day the Sakura family was destroyed, and was questioned by his superiors for this, which dashed his hopes of being promoted within two years.

For this reason, Yu Chuanlong was determined to succeed in this mission. As the deputy commander of the Funabashi base, he commanded the patrol ship, while the other two ships followed his orders.

After all, of the three ships, only the patrol ship's radar can detect land within a range of 5 to 15 kilometers; the radars of the other two ships are useless against land, like blind men.

Unfortunately, the environment is very bad today. Even the waves in Tokyo Bay are quite large, and the radar detects that the waves are less than 5 kilometers high. If it were placed outside the bay, it would even be at risk of sinking due to strong sea winds.

The flagship Mizuho-class patrol vessel has a displacement of 6000 tons, a length of 134 meters, two engine rooms, and is equipped with two medium-sized armed helicopters and one high-speed interceptor boat.

The weaponry consists of two 40mm naval guns, but no missiles. Strictly speaking, this is a law enforcement vessel, which is somewhat inferior to a warship. Moreover, the weather today makes it impossible to take off helicopters, which is why there are three other ships to assist.

A single Hayabusa-class missile boat, 240 tons, is equipped with four Type 90 anti-ship missiles and one 76mm rapid-fire cannon.

The LCAC air-cushioned landing craft has a standard displacement of 87 tons and a full load displacement of 170 tons. It is 28 meters long and carries two Mitsubishi heavy-duty trucks equipped with heavy machine guns and grenade launchers, just like Naoki Hanyu's Humvee.

The two Type 16 armored fighting vehicles are equipped with weapons similar to, but slightly inferior to, those of the Type 19 armored fighting vehicle.

The intelligence that Yu Chuanlong heard was that the criminals were suspected of having armored forces. The warehouse employees only said that they saw a blurry armored vehicle in the rain, but they could not tell whether it was a motor vehicle (such as a Hummer) or an armored fighting vehicle. That's why he arranged for hovercraft to land, so that there would be no chance of anything going wrong.

A lieutenant walked in.

"Deputy Commander, radar has detected armored units on the shore. Due to typhoon interference, we can only identify what appears to be an armored fighting vehicle, located in the northwest of the port."

Yu Chuanlong was stunned. He thought it was a motor vehicle when he arrived, but he didn't expect it to be an armored fighting vehicle. After all, in Japan, apart from the military and special police, no one owns armored fighting vehicles.

Despite his surprise, he still decisively issued the order.

"Sharing radar information with the Type 017 missile boat, launch missiles to destroy the target; Landing craft No. 3 prepares to land."

"Yes."

On the turbulent sea 1 kilometer from the port, the missile boat decisively launched a Type 90 anti-ship missile, the dark wind and rain being pierced by the "meteor".

This is a missile with a sea-skimming flight mode of Mach 0.9, while the hovercraft on the other side also rushed towards the suitable landing position in the port.

Meanwhile, Naoki Hanyu's clone is controlling a Type 19 armored vehicle to fire at the remaining warehouses, aiming to leave none behind.

As the armored vehicle was driving, a missile suddenly exploded nearby, the powerful impact causing the vehicle to jolt violently.

The clone of justice reacted instantly.

"Attention, attention! Armored vehicle 02 has been attacked by a missile, suspected to be from the sea. Find cover immediately! You guys, what's wrong with you? Weren't you supposed to be watching for enemies at sea? Is this how you work?"

"Damn it, while you guys are having fun, the three of us are going to be soaking in the water as lookouts, you XXXXX."

Naoki Hanyu, the real body, was speechless at the argument between his clones and quickly issued an order.

"Alright, stop arguing. Water ghosts, hurry up and find the target and notify the young lady. The young lady should also use the panoramic mirror to see if she can find the target."

"Follow orders, but it's hard to spot someone in the heavy rain unless they come within two kilometers."

"Take your time. There's no rush."

Naoki Hanyu wasn't worried at all when he heard there were enemies at sea. After sinking the American destroyer with real gunfire, why would he be afraid of the Japanese navy?
Moreover, he had planned ahead of the operation that no frigates or even destroyers would appear in Tokyo's inner bay in the short term. These things were all outside the sea fortifications of Yokosuka Port. There were no fighter jets, armed helicopters, or even drones during the typhoon. In other words, the invading enemy was likely to be combat boats in the inner bay.

Just then, the second water ghost suddenly issued a warning.

"Damn it, I saw a hovercraft approaching the port, he wants to land."

Is the hovercraft about to land?

At this moment, Naoki Hanyu smiled, openly disregarding them.
.
On the other patrol ship, Yukawa Ryujin also heard the feedback from his subordinates.

"Missed the shot. The target has already taken cover. What are those guys even doing?"

The lieutenant adjutant kindly helped his subordinate find an excuse.

"Commander, don't be angry. It's normal to make mistakes during typhoon weather."

"Hmph, this is the last time. Keep an eye on the enemy's movements with radar and notify 017 to move closer and provide cover with high-speed guns at any time."

"Yes, the landing craft should be arriving soon."

In Yu Chuanlongjian's view, a mere armored fighting vehicle was really not enough. Even they were greatly affected by the typhoon, let alone the armored fighting vehicle. At this moment, they were like blind men when facing the enemy at sea.

At the port, the hovercraft found a good position and drove directly ashore, the hovercraft making landing as easy as walking on flat ground.

Then, as soon as the gate opened, two heavy vehicles drove down, followed by two Type 16 armored fighting vehicles, leaving obvious tracks on the waterlogged port, and more than 40 fully armed defense team members.

The squad leader (a second lieutenant of 20-40 men) hurriedly shouted.

"Scatter quickly! What are you all dawdling about? Spread out and establish a defensive line!"

Before the squad leader could finish speaking, the Type 16 armored fighting vehicle, which had not yet traveled more than 100 meters, was suddenly penetrated by a shell. A large number of high-speed fragments ravaged the vehicle's compartment, directly causing the deaths of all the personnel inside.

At that moment, the squad leader's eyes widened in disbelief.

"No"

The next second, two 105mm shells hit the hovercraft and exploded, destroying the 3000 million yuan vessel and two other vehicles, which were also overturned and killed.

At this moment, the entire team was thrown into panic as heavy machine guns, artillery shells, and grenades came flying incessantly.

Where did this concentrated attack come from? Wasn't it said there was only one armored fighting vehicle? If there were other enemies, why were there no radar clues? Before the squad leader could have much time to ponder, heavy machine gun bullets had already torn his body apart, let alone the others maintaining the formation.

The last Type 16 armored vehicle also wandered around aimlessly, its gun barrel constantly rotating, but it still couldn't spot the enemy.

"Damn it, the enemy is there, but where did they go?"

The armored vehicle 16 passed a warehouse and discovered a Type 19 armored fighting vehicle pointing its 105mm gun at it from the corner.

"It's a Type 19 armored vehicle! How could it evade radar?"

These were the commander's last thoughts. The next second, an armor-piercing round hit the fuel tank of the Type 16 armored vehicle, and the entire vehicle was engulfed in flames.

Inside the vehicle, Naoki Hanyu's clone revealed a cruel smile. Of course, the enemy couldn't detect them, since the clone also possessed ionized matter. Although it only had one-tenth the effect of the original, it was still enough to hide a mere armored vehicle or tank.

Imagine how desperate the enemy would be if every tank and armored vehicle could "disappear".

Of course, the clone's spirit cannot last too long, at most 10 minutes.

As the clone deactivated its skill and charged out, the two armored vehicles, using cover, continued to fire at the fleeing 30-plus defense personnel, unleashing a storm of carnage.

Meanwhile, on the patrol ship, Yukawa Ryujin finally spotted the presence of armored vehicle No. 03, and the lieutenant adjutant reported with a solemn expression.

"Reporting to the commander, the landing force's armored units have been completely wiped out, and the remaining personnel are barely holding on with the help of buildings."

"Kaka."

Yu Chuanlongjian was so angry that he gritted his teeth. What happened? Where did the other armored vehicle come from? And they were all Type 19 armored vehicles. You should know that most of the defense force still had Type 16 armored vehicles. Where did the villains get two Type 19s?

"Notify the missile boats to provide fire support together; don't be stingy with ammunition."

The adjutant hesitated.

"But there's a farmers' cooperative warehouse there."

You Chuanlong slammed his hand heavily on the table.

"They've already been blown up, so it doesn't matter if they get hit again. Hurry up."

His series of mistakes have put his position in jeopardy. If he doesn't achieve some results soon, he will be held accountable, and in serious cases, he might even face a military court. He can't care about those damned grain supplies.

The two ships kept firing. The missile boat, one kilometer away from the port, fired its cannons, riddling the enemy's bunkers and warehouses with holes, while attempting to lock onto the target again and launch missiles.

The squad leader in charge of the missile boat was furious. Using Type 90 anti-ship missiles to attack land was utterly idiotic. Why hadn't the support arrived yet? They'd been firing for several minutes already.

The squad leader was unaware that his reckless firing was also revealing his own position.

In a secluded location at the port, Naoki Hanyu personally controls the Miss Tank, aiming its cannon at an enemy ship located one kilometer away.

"Got you."

"boom"

The armor-piercing projectile pierced through the rain at high speed and struck the missile boat squarely, freezing it in place as if by magic. The single, deadly hit excited all the missiles in the boat.

On the other side, the squad leader felt the boat shaking violently and heard the sound of an explosion.

"What happened? Were we hit?"

"Captain, we've been hit by a cannonball."

The squad leader immediately panicked.

"Quickly, move quickly."

"No, the engine is destroyed."

At that moment, the squad leader felt a chill run down his spine. What was the difference between a missile boat that couldn't move and a target? But could he survive jumping into the sea during a typhoon?

After a two-second hesitation, the high-explosive shells hit the missile boat, swallowing most of the crew. The already damaged boat immediately disintegrated, and only a few people jumped into the sea and escaped. But could they survive in the stormy sea until rescue?

Meanwhile, on a patrol boat two kilometers from the port, You Chuanlong was stunned by the sudden news. A missile boat was gone just like that? How could that be?

"How could a 105mm shell hit a maritime target twice in a row during a typhoon? How is that possible?"

"Perhaps the enemy has other armored forces, such as tanks." Yu Chuanlongjian became even more excited.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. If it were a tank, how come our radar couldn't detect it?"

"We haven't spotted a second Type 19 armored vehicle yet."

"."

Just then, a shell hit the edge of the patrol boat, confirming the adjutant's guess. Startled, Yukawa Ryuji quickly ordered the patrol boat to leave.

"They hit it from 2 kilometers away? I remember that 105mm couldn't do that?"

The adjutant nodded.

"I suspect it's a 120mm smoothbore cannon, but its power doesn't seem like that of a 155mm howitzer."

At this moment, Yu Chuanlongjian was even angrier than before.

"Is it the Type 90 tank or the Type 10 tank? Could it be those guys from the Ground Self-Defense Force who are up to something? What are they trying to do?"

"Deputy Commander, please be careful with your words. You can't say such things without evidence."

"."

Yu Chuanlong immediately deflated and shut down the engine. With his retreat from the port, the soldiers were probably all gone. Half of the 180-man temporary force had been killed or wounded. He couldn't bear the responsibility.

"Report the situation to your superiors. The Funabashi base is not capable of handling it. Request other support."

"Yes, we just received a notification from Yokosuka Port that the fleet has departed."

Before the adjutant could finish speaking, the entire ship suddenly began to shake violently, even more violently than when it had just been hit by a cannonball. Yukawa Ryuuma, who was already on edge, jumped up.

"What's going on? Where did this attack come from? Mines, torpedoes, it couldn't possibly be artillery shells or missiles, could it?"

He soon found out what was going on: the bottom of the ship had been blown open and water was flooding in.

Meanwhile, underneath the ship, Naoki Hanyu's clone, carrying homemade explosives, was also pressed against the hull of the patrol vessel. The explosion just now was another clone's self-destruction, and now it was his turn.

"Damn it, the original body actually made me play the role of a human bomb. No, I'm not even human."

"what"

With the clone's shouts, another explosion occurred from under the patrol ship, this time causing the patrol ship to tilt violently. Anyone with eyes could see that it was beyond saving; the ship was sinking.

In the command room, Yu Chuanlong waved his hand dejectedly upon hearing that even the last patrol ship was going to sink.

"Arrange for someone to leave in an interceptor boat."

"Yes, and what about you, Commander?"

"I'll be leaving last, so please make the arrangements quickly."

With no one in the command room, Yu Chuanlong suddenly pulled out a pistol and pointed it at Zhi Zhi's head.

"Luckily I didn't bring a knife, otherwise it would have been really painful to commit seppuku."

The temporary fleet of ships all sank, and nearly a hundred people were killed or injured. He had no face to remain in this world, at least that's what he thought at that moment.

"bump"

When the adjutant rushed back to the command room, he only saw his superior's body, which made him feel incredulous. This might be the first lieutenant colonel in the new century of Japan to commit suicide due to poor performance in combat, or even the first since World War II.

Meanwhile, Shinji Kitada received devastating news as soon as he returned to the Ministry of Defense.

"The entire temporary formation at Funabashi was wiped out?"

"The death toll exceeded 100, and only more than 60 people made it ashore by speedboat."

When Kitada Shinji heard the news, he almost fainted, but was caught by his subordinates. He was already imagining his future of bowing in despair for the second time. Damn it, Tanaka-senpai, were you this desperate before?

"How is this possible? How is this possible? What force in Tokyo Bay could destroy a temporary formation?"

"According to information from the Shipbridge base, the terrorists have confirmed that they have two Type 19 armored vehicles and one tank that is suspected to be a Type 90 or Type 10 tank."

Shinji Kitada looked at the Chief of Staff of the Ground Self-Defense Force (Army Commander), a 4-star general, with immense anger.

"General Takeshita, I expect an explanation from your Japan Ground Self-Defense Force."

Daisuke Takeshita shouldn't be blamed for this.

“Our Ground Self-Defense Force was not involved at all. I guess those thugs obtained the weapons through other means. After all, it’s not the first or second time that tanks and armored vehicles have been used in Japan.”

Yes, this is the third time already. The second time was likely due to interference from America's forces.

"I said through gritted teeth," Kitada Shinji said.

"What methods can be used to obtain heavy weapons from the Ground Self-Defense Force?"

"I don't know either. To prove our innocence, we can ask the Ministry of Defense to investigate, and we will absolutely cooperate."

"you"

Kitada Shinji was at a loss with this unyielding attitude. He couldn't very well insist that it was the China Military World Self-Defense Force's fault. As for an investigation, the other party was willing to say that it would be too late to investigate anything after the typhoon.

Shinji Kitada looked at the Air Force staff officer (Lieutenant General) standing to the side.

Can the JASDF deploy fighter jets?

The Air Force lieutenant general said with a troubled expression.

"Among all the fighter jets, only the F-35 can theoretically withstand a sustained wind speed of 120 knots (about 222 km/h), which exceeds most strong typhoons. However, even America evacuates its fighter jets when faced with a strong typhoon. I have doubts about this data."

"So it's no longer feasible. Where has the Maritime Self-Defense Force's support gone?"

The JMSDF staff officer (Lieutenant General) said cautiously.

"Upon learning that the perpetrators possessed two armored vehicles, we mobilized a fleet from Yokosuka Port, consisting of a Kongo-class Aegis destroyer, an Asahi-class Shiranui destroyer, and an Osumi-class landing ship, equipped with two squadrons and three armored platoons. However, it will take another 10 minutes."

"Not bad. The enemy's strength is close to that of an armored platoon. Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. Very good."

Kitada Shinji looked at Takeshita Daisuke again.

"How much longer will the Ground Self-Defense Force troops take?"

"Due to the typhoon, it will take at least 15 minutes."

"Humph."

The more Kitada Shinji looked at Takeshita Daisuke, the more suspicious he became—that old codger from the defense force.

"Notify the Chiba City Police Department that they must stop the terrorists at Goi Port."

"."

The others didn't know what to say. What could the police use to block an armored platoon? All kinds of police vehicles were taken down with a single shell, and the people were shot down with a single bullet. They were lucky if they didn't lose many people.
.
On the other side, the force of the typhoon caused police cars to sway, making it impossible for the police to launch an attack on the criminals guarding the door.

The head of the Chiba City Security Division wanted to order his men to leave. How could they fight like this? The enemy had set up three firing positions and they couldn't get close.

"bang bang bang bang bang"

The heavy machine guns, positioned high above, swept across the area again, scaring some police officers into not daring to show their heads. Some unlucky ones were even blown dozens of meters away by the strong wind or hit on the head by debris, leaving them bleeding profusely.

Just then, an order came from the police station.

"Stop the terrorists from breaking through at all costs."

This finally made the head of the security department explode.

"Are you out of your mind? What am I supposed to use to block them? The mobile force that's been blown out of its mind, and the ordinary police who don't even dare to show their faces? We're just police, not soldiers. We don't have the courage to block gun barrels with our own flesh and blood. If you want me to block them, then get the special forces here quickly."

"."

The director on the other side also fell silent. He knew that his order was a bit unreasonable, but that was what the higher-ups required.

"Just do your best. If it really doesn't work, then come back."

"."

Now it was the security chief's turn to be silent, before finally letting out a sigh a few seconds later.

"let me try."

As soon as he finished speaking, the port gates opened again, with a Type 10 tank leading the way, followed by four Type 19 armored vehicles. The Humvees had already been returned to the system space.

The security chief completely ignored what he had just said, so there's no way to stop this momentum. It's best to just let the chief eat shit; there's no point in trying to empathize.

"Everyone, retreat quickly!"

Dozens of police officers quickly found a place to hide, and all the police cars that could be driven away were driven away.

Naoki Hanyu didn't go on a killing spree; he simply crushed a police car blocking his way with a tank and left. Even if he killed dozens of people in front of him, he was still far from being an 8-star villain, so it was better not to waste his time.

In this way, Naoki Hanyu's armored assault squad retreated unimpeded to the northeast, ramming away vehicles that blocked their way with tanks and firing a shell at police cars that dared to follow.

The bomb that destroyed the regional substation also plunged a large part of Chiba City into darkness due to power outages.

Several armored vehicles plunged headlong into the hills of several forest parks in the northeast.
