The artillery continues to extend forward, and Fengjun's assault team is leaping forward quickly, constantly destroying the remaining enemies who have been stunned. For the Japanese, this is definitely a brand-new tactic. The infantry and artillery completely formed a whole, and they were subjected to
After being taken care of by the artillery, these Japanese did not even have time to adjust.
They were directly eliminated by the charging Fengjun, and the Fengjun responsible for the charge were all equipped with submachine guns and super firepower. The hand-to-hand combat that the Japanese were proud of had no place to use. Those Japanese soldiers who clamored to be the most tenacious were all
It became a sieve, or even a pile of rotten meat.
The Thirteenth Regiment, which had just entered Gaizhou, encountered the most powerful opponent in history. Their bravery lost all value in the face of the absolutely superior firepower.
The vanguard of Fengjun had already broken into the city, and the momentum was almost unstoppable. He couldn't help but feel fear. How could these Chinese people become so powerful? The lambs suddenly became lions, and the hunters became prey. Has the world been turned upside down?
"Ask for tactical guidance from the division commander." Takeo Yamashita clenched his fists tightly. After saying these words, it seemed as if all the strength was drained from his body. The so-called tactical guidance is nothing more than a person asking for help by name, as the ultimate
It was very embarrassing for such a powerful unit to ask for help. Takeo Yamashita couldn't say anything unless it was absolutely necessary.
Sure enough, after receiving the telegram asking for help, Koike Yasuyuki immediately became restless. He knew very well that Yamashita Takeo would never give in until he was in the most dangerous time. Now he must use all his strength to save this army, otherwise,
The consequences are simply unimaginable.
"The 23rd Regiment immediately dispatched to break the Chinese defense line and connect with the 13th Regiment in Gaizhou."
Koike Yasuyuki had no choice but to send the last mobile force up. At the same time, the Japanese artillery also focused on attacking the outer perimeter of the Feng army, trying to break through the defense line. However, they made the wrong calculation. When making the plan, everyone knew
To encircle the Japanese army, you must first put your own army under the enemy's siege.
If it is not the most tenacious unit, it will not be able to withstand this test. In the end, this task fell to Zhou Zijian. He led the first regiment of the first division as the main force. If the first division is the trump card of the border defense army, then the third division
One group is the trump card among trump cards. On the battlefield in the Far East, they withstood the danger of being attacked from two sides. After going through the test of life and death, they became more calm in dealing with the situation in front of them.
Zhou Zijian used all the time to strengthen the construction of fortifications. The engineers ignored the enemy's artillery fire and casualties, and built the fortifications as quickly as possible. At the same time, the Fengjun's artillery also showed its power, with forty or fifty heavy artillery concentrating their firepower, and the Japanese
The bombardment knocked them off their feet. With strong artillery cover, the first regiment finally completed a double-ring fortification. The outer circle dealt with the attack of the 23rd Regiment, and the inner circle dealt with the attack of the 13th Regiment.
Just when the night receded and the sky became bright again, the defense system was finally completed, firmly blocking out the Japanese reinforcements. After a night of fierce fighting, Fengjun had taken control of one-third of Gaizhou City, and the Japanese
Although they are still resisting, the situation has become more and more dangerous. Yamashita Takeo is also desperate to continuously send requests for tactical guidance, and Koike Yasuyuki has become like an ant on a hot pot.
The Army can't get in. The only one that can provide assistance now is the Navy, but the gap between Japan's sea and land has been long-standing. As the most powerful division of the Japanese Army, if it asks for assistance from the Navy, then what is the status and value of the Army?
The proud Kumamoto Division was unwilling to bow its head at all, but if it did not bow its head, the 13th Regiment would be in danger of being destroyed. The consequences would be even more terrifying. After repeated weighings, Koike had no choice but to make a request to the Navy to dispatch warships.
, bombarded Gaizhou.
"Hmph. A bunch of losers are finally asking us for help. The Army is a useless piece of trash. It can't even deal with the Chinese."
Kobayashi Dorje said contemptuously, but he completely forgot that Japan's combined fleet had just lost two main battleships. In comparison, the army was not the worst.
More than an hour later, a cruiser, two destroyers, and two old-fashioned ironclads finally appeared off the coast of Gaizhou. The thick muzzles of the guns were aimed at the Fengjun position. The naval guns were large in caliber and incredibly powerful, causing great damage.
It's even more amazing.
The five warships opened fire, and the Fengjun position set off bursts of thick smoke. The fortifications the soldiers had worked so hard to build were blown to pieces, and the casualties were also very serious. Especially the first regiment located at the connecting position.
, and even came under a joint attack from army and navy artillery, and the casualties skyrocketed.
Each of them was the most elite warrior. To lose them like this made Zhou Zijian's heart bleed.
At this time, off the coast of Gaizhou, a huge black fish quietly surfaced, and the Japanese navy, which was immersed in the hearty sound of shelling, did not notice it at all.
Three torpedoes were launched instantly, and the submarine turned around and dived into the water. The surging water suddenly woke up the Japanese. But everything was too late. Just as the Japanese screamed, a torpedo hit the target.
In the middle of the Chiyoda, this old battleship of more than 2,000 tons suddenly opened a hideous gaping hole.
Then there was a loud noise, and he was thrown out of the sea three to five meters high, and then fell heavily on the sea, completely broken into two pieces, and sank to the bottom of the sea at a speed visible to the naked eye. All the soldiers on the ship had no time to escape.
Sunk to the bottom of the sea.
The Chiyoda cruiser was a warship originally ordered by the Japanese from the United Kingdom. It participated in the Battle of the Yellow Sea and the Battle of Weihaiwei, and was one of the culprits in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894. This old ship is on the verge of retirement, but it is still trying to sail in China's waters.
He was so vicious that he was finally killed at the hands of a Chinese submarine. This was also retribution. Those who came out to fool around would have to pay back sooner or later!
Seeing the extremely miserable Chiyoda, all the other Japanese warships broke out in a cold sweat. They finally remembered that China was no longer what it used to be. Huge battleships could be sunk, let alone these gadgets.
Kobayashi Dorje did not care to continue bombarding Gaizhou and hurriedly sent all the warships to pursue the traces of the submarine. The Japanese seemed to be crazy, searching back and forth on the sea, not letting go of any clues. But they were already too late, and they attacked the Japanese secretly.
The Yasha-class submarine was already on the seabed, quietly watching their performance.
After struggling for more than an hour, depth charges were dropped and countless cannons were fired, but not even the hair of the submarine was caught. Just when the Japanese were furious, another roaring sound sounded in the air.
Fengjun's air force was finally dispatched. The eagle that had just shown off its prowess by the Yalu River finally flew over Gaizhou. Regardless of fatigue, they first targeted these fierce warships.
It wasn't until the huge roar of the bombers appeared above their heads that the Japanese navy woke up from a dream, and Dorje Kobayashi showed a look of extreme horror on his face.
"Quick, fire, shoot them down!"
Sparse gunfire came from the Japanese warship, but this had no effect on the aircraft. Soon a bomber dropped two bombs, one of which exploded within ten meters of the destroyer.
The huge water pressure caused by the bomb explosion was like a super-large hammer, hitting the warship. A large dent appeared immediately, and then it shattered, seawater poured in, and it rolled over quickly. Compared with Chiyoda
The number, even faster, sank toward the water.
When the other three warships saw their companions sinking, they truly saw the power of the air. They woke up from a dream and tried to escape one after another, but how could the warships be faster than the planes?
The Akitsusu protected cruiser that fell last was the slowest. Like the Chiyoda, it was an old ship that had participated in the Sino-Japanese War of 1898. A 120-kilogram bomb accurately hit the bow of the ship, and the raging flames quickly devoured it.
All the superstructure, this warship turned into a huge candle, burning quickly, and another warship with many crimes sank into the sea.
The other two warships did not run very far. All five warships, including Dorje Kobayashi, were sunk. A large number of warship wreckage and more corpses were floating on the sea in Gaizhou, making it a mess. Submarines and aircraft cooperated
, sending all five battleships to the bottom of the sea.
Launching attacks from the air and underwater has unparalleled advantages over traditional decisive battles on the sea. After this battle, the entire Feng army became a determined aircraft carrier and submarine faction.
On the sea, Japanese warships sank one after another, which had a fatal impact on the morale of the Japanese military. Without naval fire support, reinforcements could not break through the defense line at all, and the Thirteenth Regiment became a turtle in the urn.
At this time, Fengjun's planes were deployed again. They bombarded the Japanese artillery positions and killed the most threatening firepower. Without the support of artillery, the infantry charge alone would not only be massacred by Fengjun.
, has no other effect at all.
The encirclement of Gaizhou became tighter and tighter. Zhang Henian and most of the 6th Division were involved. Fengjun, who had a four-fold advantage in strength, launched a final fierce attack. The fierce 13th Regiment finally reached the last moment.
They were cut into several small pieces and were being reduced rapidly.
Yamashita Takeo was at his last moment at this time. There were only more than 200 people left around him. The hope of breaking out was gone, so he could only make a last ditch effort.
"Burn the regiment flag, send a farewell telegram, and see you all at the Yasukuni Shrine!"
When Takeo Yamashita was about to give the order, a heavy artillery shell suddenly fell on his command post. The violent explosion blew them all into pieces, and almost no one survived.
The headquarters was destroyed, and all the remaining Japanese soldiers did not know where to go. They were easily wiped out by the swarming Fengjun. While searching, Magang suddenly found in front of him, under a corpse, Huahua was pressed
There was a green rag with a flagpole next to it. He pulled out the rag.
"It's the coalition flag! You're so prosperous now!" Wang Yizhe also blurted out when he saw the piece of rag, with surprise on his face. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian
