Chapter 3 Naval Gun Strike
When the air force baptized Qingdao with iron and fire, they returned. While these planes returned, more aircraft took off from the "Yuefei aircraft carrier". Their goal was to support the soldiers of the air assault divisions that were airborne in Weihai and Yantai at this moment.
Compared with Qingdao, Weihai and Yantai did not arrange too many troops.
Especially in Weihai, the British army was mainly stationed here. Because of the Allies in the War of Reconstruction, the British army provided direct assistance when the Japanese captured Shandong.
At present, they are stationed in the military port of Weihai and are not subject to any more restrictions. There are also some British sea ships stationed here.
Of course, these warships are inevitably the result of becoming the things in Navy Colonel Lukner. For the Chinese Baath Party, military ships that came to Chinese ports without invitation will not be protected by them, and attacks will be certain.
When the cruiser fleet on which the British army relies for survival became dead fish in the port under the same means as the special forces, groups of airships flew in the sky.
Compared to the Japanese, the British who knew something did not resist at all. Although the bombing of warships also made them feel annoyed. However, the British, who had already paid great attention to air power, found that the other party sent more than one hundred planes to support the combat at this time.
Especially, when groups of airships flew across Weihai, the sky was covered with "meteorites" falling like stones. When they landed on the ground, the entire city was completely surrounded by strategic points.
As soon as a large number of infantrymen of the aerial assault divisions emerged from the "meteorite", they immediately formed small groups of land and rushed towards their respective purposes. It seemed that they were fighting on their own. In fact, the first small group of offensive troops had their own accurate targets to attack. When the British defenders understood, they had been cut into small pieces by these troops falling from the sky.
What happened near the British military camp made the British commander here even more chill.
This time, there were not many soldiers coming out of the "meteorite". Two armored vehicles and jeeps dragging large-caliber mortars out of those strange airborne equipment.
It is worth mentioning here that these jeeps, the 120mm heavy mortar is like a recoilless gun engine squatting on the axis of the jeep. When using it, you have to push the gun backwards and sit steadily underground together with the gun seat behind. The first shell can be filled in by loading the jeep. The conversion process is only 15 seconds long.
The attacks of 120mm mortars, 12.7mm machine guns and rockets quickly "stopped" the commotion of thousands of British troops in the entire British camp. At this time, the British camps were full of tragic situations of heavy artillery fire.
Groups of soldiers were directly killed by rockets with very high accuracy and 25mm machine guns. The 12.7mm machine guns drove all the houses in the barracks like fish nets. The "Sky Girl Scattered Flowers" thrown from the sky created groups of wounded soldiers.
As for the bunker, under the care of heavy mortars, the soldiers inside suffered more miserable than those in other places.
Faced with this fresh and fierce offensive, the British commander quickly understood who they met, so the resistance did not last long. After all, most of these troops were Ah San and could not be compared with those of the British mainland.
The scale of the battle in Yantai is not stronger than that in the Weihai direction. The resistance at this time is relatively weaker. When the fort was fought and the warships turned into dead fish, under the double pressure of artillery fire and air, the Japanese soldiers here quickly collapsed. The city was easily captured by soldiers of the Air Assault Division.
During the entire day of combat, the attack was the most unsuccessful, and the most casualties were Qingdao. Because it was served as a base for maritime forces by the Japanese dispatched troops in China, not only were there garrisons of the Japanese main divisions in China, but there were more than 20,000 people in total of 51,700 of them.
It also includes the first ship "Fusan" of the flagship "Fusan-class battleship" of the Japanese Second Fleet and the fourth ship "Kingang-class battleship" of the "Kingang-class battleship". Since these two warships are about to be included in the combat sequence of the Chinese Navy, we have to briefly introduce the data of these two warships here.
The "Fuson-class battleship" refers to the standard displacement of the "British Lion-class Battlecruiser" of the "British Lion-class Battlecruiser", with a total length of 205 meters, a width of 28.65 meters, a draft of 8.7 meters, and a total length of 212 meters (water line length of 210 meters), a width of 33 meters, and a draft of 9.4 meters.
Military equipment: 12 dual-equipped 356mm/45-caliber main guns; 16 152mm/50-caliber secondary guns; 4 76mm anti-aircraft guns; 533mm caliber torpedo launch tubes.
The "Jingang-class battlecruiser" was later modernized and modified. They were the famous Japanese "Jingang-class battleships". After being modified, they participated in World War II.
They are also imitating the products made by the British "Lion-class Battlecruiser", in sequence: "Kingang", "Hairui", "Haruna" and "Kikishima". Since they are about to become part of the future Chinese fleet, their more detailed data are introduced here.
Standard displacement: 27,500 tons, 31,720 tons after modification; Size: 214.6 meters long/28 meters wide/8.38 meters draft, 222 meters long/31.7 meters wide/9.6 meters draft military equipment: 8 dual-equipped 356 mm/45-caliber main guns; 16 (152 mm/50-caliber secondary guns; 12 76 mm guns, 12 dual-equipped 127 mm anti-aircraft guns, 24 25 mm anti-aircraft guns (94 in 1944); 533 mm torpedo tubes;
Crew: 1221 people-1118 people, two of which are not very different. They both have the bloodline of the British "Lion-class Battlecruiser", and are all new warships launched around 1900-1905. In addition to them, there are also 6 cruisers, 12 destroyers, and 3 ironclad ships that are 1/3 of the total strength of the Japanese Navy.
Because it happened to be a holiday, they did not go out to sea, and only three destroyers went out to patrol the sea. At this time, they were all buried in the dense torpedoes placed by the thunder-run attack aircraft.
The warships in the port, no matter what kind of warships they are, are all dead fish in the floating port. However, although the warships cannot move, they do not hinder the use of their naval guns. They also organize the crew, send them to the ashore in batches, join the army, and desperately launch an army counterattack against the landing China.
Unfortunately, they were not very suitable for artillery support from the defenders in Qingdao City because they could not move and were used for artillery fire support. In particular, those planes flying around in the sky did not allow them to have any observation posts on the masts. The defenders in the city did not have any radios at all. As for the use of signal flags, since all the flag bearers were killed, they were of no use.
The 152mm secondary gun that can truly create dangerous 152mm for the offensive troops will be used when the soldiers of the air assault troops easily attack the turret on the top of the mountain in the afternoon.
When the huge artillery was fired, the ship's ship shaking from side to side. Dark red trajectories flew out from the fishy red flames. The 356mm shells were like some demons flying through the air, thrusting straight towards the Wushan Fortress with a screaming sound.
What the Japanese Navy is worried about is that if the fortress on Wushan is occupied, the warships in the port that have completely lost their mobility will become living targets for large artillery on the fort at dawn.
Taking advantage of the dimness of dawn, soldiers of the air assault division broke into the Wushan Fort and launched a fierce exchange of fire with the Japanese artillery defenders in the fort.
In the alleyway where the lights were completely turned off, there were unknown Japanese gunners hidden. They made the soldiers of the Air Assault Division pay a price of bleeding every step forward.

Fortunately, the excessive penetration of the Type 38 rifle caused most of the hits to be injured and there was no danger of life. After the search was blocked, the commander of the Air Assault Division transferred the flamethrower, burned a piece of infantry and went forward to clean up, making the process of capturing the turret become orderly.
But at this moment, the roar of giant cannons sounded from the warships in the harbor. The observer of Hawkeye on his head was also shouting in time.
"Enemy cannon shooting, Wushan should be careful!"
However, at this time, the 352mm cannon shells fell on Wushan Mountain. The turret was blown as if it was the end of the world. The cement block was dragged and screamed and flew around, and the "meteorite" hit was directly blown to pieces and could not be left without a trace.
The soldiers searching in the alley were shocked to the ground in the violent vibration. The cement blocks on their heads fell down like rain. The soldiers hit by the cement blocks were pressed down by huge cement boards, and the injured soldiers screamed with his heart.
Obviously, the gunners on the warship did not intend to attack and live, nor did they intend to let the defenders here survive.
But their so-called fierce counterattack was even more severe. At this time, they saw the dispatcher of the "Hawkeye" in the air with heavy casualties, attracting the plane flying in the sky.
"Intensive attack on the enemy ship command tower...!"
With a command issued, dozens of "sea sabers" pounced down in the command towers of two giant ships. The 12.7mm machine gun pierced the bullets and the rockets were shot onto the command tower of the battleship.
Of course, such an attack does not cause any greater damage to the thick armored body of the warship. However, the dense rocket attacks have long made the people in the command tower frightened. The attacks of dozens of aircraft more than 100 rockets completely hit the command tower, and thick smoke emerged from the command tower.
The naval guns that had lost their artillery command stopped firing. Without the command tower's instructions, they would not know where to shoot the shells. In particular, when the warship's constant blockage of radio channels suddenly came a telegram using the naval password.
