Chapter 1972: Close the door and kill the stupid bird
General Staff War Room, Nanhua, Xinjing, Duzhu Temple.
An Yi calmly read all the battle reports and asked: "So, the possibility of Japanese landing has been gradually reduced... Where have Hutou's troops moved?"
Yang Fei smiled and said:
"We are almost arriving in Pyongyang. In fact, there is no suspense about this battle at all. The Japanese army had the advantage of the home field and its military strength was far greater than it is today. It is still no match for our army. Now the host and guest are changing, and they are trying to create a new world with the few divisions that have landed.
Miracles are purely wishful thinking. Even if the opponent lands, they will only be wiped out under the attack of our follow-up troops!"
An Yi nodded: "Having said that, we still have to make all emergency preparations... How is the situation on the Western Front?"
"The rain is coming and the wind is blowing all over the building!"
Deng Bin took over the conversation and said: "The Germans are still performing hard... Yesterday morning, the German army carried out a parachute drop on the Isle of Wight. Then, under the cover of its aircraft carrier formation, about a division of German troops crossed over to England.
Strait, landing on the Isle of Wight. From yesterday to today, the Allies dispatched more than 4,000 fighter planes, and the German side dispatched more than 5,000 planes. The entire English Channel was completely shrouded in flames of war!
"Because of the fear of the German landing operation, British Prime Minister Churchill had distributed all the weapons in stock, declared on the radio that 'Britain has no retreat', and called on all British people to fight to the death. Now, old people in their sixties and seventies,
Children as young as ** have all started practicing how to shoot, and the whole of Britain has been filled with pessimism and despair!"
"Such a good opportunity has been wasted..." An Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This Hitler is really...how can I say he is good? He is too stubborn and stubborn in doing things. As long as
If you are determined to do something, you will continue to do it, without considering the consequences... If it were me, I would definitely pacify the Soviet Union completely first. It is impossible to leave such a big tail there, Stalin could make a comeback at any time...
..Even if we want to open up a second battlefield, we should engage in distant relations and close attacks, and first solve the problem of Britain, which is at our elbows and armpits.
"Today's Britain is already a strong foreign power. Since sea control is subject to air control, as long as the German Air Force continues to suppress the British Isles, Germany's navy, which is at a disadvantage compared to the British, can pass through the English Channel unscrupulously, cover the transport fleet, and land on the British Isles.
Island... As long as Germany takes over the British Isles, it can ensure that the Western Front is safe. Whether it continues to encircle the Soviet Union or start a war with us, there will be fewer worries.
"What's good now is that Hitler is focused on our Persian Gulf and subcontinent, coveting our oil fields and grain production areas, and is ready to take advantage of the victory over the Soviet Union and win Germany enough foundation and living space to develop for hundreds of years. Little does he know that the conflict with the Soviet Union
Continuous wars have almost exposed his old background... By the way, how many people have the Germans killed since they attacked the Soviet Union until now?"
Liu Qing responded immediately without any hesitation: "According to data from previous wars, approximately 2.5 million people died in battle, accounting for approximately 5% of the total population of Germany."
An Yi shook his head again: "Look, although Germany still looks so powerful, as long as they throw away another two and a half million troops in front of our iron wall, the shortage of troops will immediately show up. The problem for the Germans is the front line
It is too wide open, and Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and other places occupy too many troops. When its military strength is strong, European countries will naturally surrender, but if there is a slight sign of defeat, the whole of Europe will boil!
"Looking at us, we have always been fighting against the odds. The lands we incorporated into our territory were previously colonies or vast and sparsely populated places. Coupled with the wanton massacre by the invaders, the indigenous population is extremely sparse. Through continuous immigration, we
, so that the proportion of Chinese has an absolute upper hand, and then establish governments at all levels and establish strong public security and armed police teams, so that there is no need to send additional troops to local areas. On the contrary, these areas will continue to provide us with troops and various supplies.
, becoming our consolidated rear area.
"One goes against the other. Every time we absorb a piece of land, we will immediately turn it into our support, while the Germans need to constantly divide their troops. In this case, Hitler wants to put his good plan on our heads.
It really blinded him!"
Yang Jie took over the conversation: "I have also been trying to figure out Hitler's psychology during this period. From a German perspective, giving up landing on the British Isles and actively attacking us is indeed a bad move, but when it comes to the entire Axis powers and
The level of confrontation between the Allies was a move that Hitler had to make!
"Today, Japan has opened up the American battlefield, and the Americans have too much time to take care of themselves. The former world leader, Britain, is exhausted. With the fall of India, the Middle East, Australia and Western Canada, Britain has actually been reduced to a supporting role, and it has no influence on the Axis powers at this time.
In other words, the only real opponent of the entire Allied Powers is our Anjia Army!
"Since there will be a war sooner or later, it is better to fight late than to fight early. Once we fully digest the Japanese industrial bases in the Northeast, Far East and Dahan Peninsula, production capacity will inevitably be greatly improved. This is definitely not a good thing for Germany.
News! Therefore, Hitler is eager to start a war. As long as he defeats us, he will have the food of Ukraine and the subcontinent, the oil of Persia and Baku, the coal of Donbas and the iron of India. The victory of the Axis powers will be just around the corner, without foreign aid.
It is only a matter of time before the United States declares its surrender."
Zhao Dongquan asked: "Don't Hitler consider the serious consequences of failure?"
Yang Jie smiled faintly: "For a madman, there is no word failure in the dictionary! Successful adventures again and again have made Hitler develop an arrogant character. Although under his leadership
, Germany has reformed its political system, but in fact he is still driving the direction of the German chariot! For Hitler, it is enough to see the benefits of victory, and nothing else is within his consideration!"
"This military action of the Japanese army seems to have the intention of echoing the German performance!" Liu Yu analyzed: "It is said that it is disrespectful to return the favor. I suggest a large-scale air raid on the Japanese archipelago!"
An Yi nodded: "Let's first wipe out the little devil's expedition fleet cleanly, then conduct a memorable air raid on the Japanese archipelago, then recover Hainan Island and Ceylon, and finally land in Madagascar. This series of combinations
If you punch it down, the Japanese will probably faint!"
The faces of all the generals showed excitement, and their eyes involuntarily turned to the northeast on the map on one side.
...
Yingkou, after passing through the minefield and entering the range of the battleships, all Japanese battleships, cruisers and destroyers opened fire together. As the protagonists, the "King Kong" and "Haruna" high-speed battleships burst out with dazzling light. There are a total of sixteen double-mounted 356 mm/
The 45-caliber main gun and the twenty-eight 152 mm/50-caliber secondary guns were spitting out bullets, and the huge shells, with a heart-stopping roar, crashed hard towards the top of the Yingkou West Fort.
The Japanese calculated well. Most of the forts and fortresses in Yingkou were built or reinforced by the Japanese. They knew all the gun positions very well. They only needed to hit them according to the directions in their memory. Such fierce artillery fire was enough to make the opponent collapse. But
They didn't know that since the capture of Yingkou at the end of August and the capture of Lushun and Dalian in early September, the artillery positions in these places had been reinforced by the Anjia Army engineering troops, and the terrain of the fortress had also been changed to a certain extent by cast reinforced concrete. Therefore,
The dense artillery shells fired from the Japanese warships only blew up the obstacles in front of the gun emplacements, but did not achieve the purpose of destroying the fortress guns.
The Japanese army still didn't know that at this moment, three airship radars at an altitude of more than 10,000 meters had locked the entire battlefield. At the same time, four vehicle-mounted sea search radars in the fortress and surrounding areas were rotating continuously, building from the sky to the earth.
The radar network locked the location of the Japanese warships. Everything about the Japanese fleet was no secret to An Jiajun.
At the Yingkou West Fort, all artillery was ready. Various artillery pieces with a caliber of 203 mm and above captured from the Japanese army were aimed at the Japanese giant ships. Artillery pieces with a caliber of 150 mm and below were aimed at the Japanese small and medium-sized warships and transport ships.
and landing ships.
All the artillery were based on the data sent by the radar. The gunners adjusted the shooting elements, and the dark muzzles locked on the target.
Following Yang Guan's order, the west fort suddenly erupted with a thunderous roar. The hidden heavy artillery made a shocking roar, and scarlet fireballs continued to fly out from the fortress. With the instructions of the radar, the fortress cannon
The fire was fast, accurate and ruthless. The fortress cannon of Yingkou Fort was equipped with a 305mm fortress cannon customized by the Japanese army. The eight huge cannons were fired at the same time. The huge shells flew more than ten nautical miles, and five of them missed and became near-misses.
The other three landed almost vertically on the deck of the "King Kong" battle cruiser that burst in front, directly penetrated the thick armor, penetrated into the cabin and exploded.
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen 240mm and 203mm high-explosive shells hit the "King Kong".
Almost instantly, the superstructure and turret of this battleship with a standard displacement of 31,720 tons immediately became miserable. More than 400 sailors on the ship were killed in this round of shelling, and more than 300 others were injured. The remaining
More than 500 sailors did not dare to fight, and hurriedly drove the battleship to the rear.
At this time, no one noticed that more than a dozen torpedo planes and bombers had begun to repair the access channels to the minefield, and the narrow waterway cleared by the minesweepers was quickly disappearing.
Faced with such fierce artillery fire, the Japanese army was shocked. They never expected that the enemy could fire so accurately in the dark night.
Tsukahara 243, who was watching the battle with a telescope outside the minefield, was smiling at first, but as the sound of continuous shelling came from the direction of the camp entrance, and the entire fleet was shrouded in artillery fire, he suddenly realized that the opponent was likely to
Equipped with advanced sea search radar, I once again thought of quitting, but telegraph communications were interfered with by strong radio waves, making it impossible to send and receive messages at all.
In the dark night sky, dark red bullet marks kept whizzing across the sea, like meteors all over the sky, rushing towards the Japanese fleet.
The fortress guns deployed at various gun emplacements of the West Fort continuously sprayed projectiles, which landed around the Japanese fleet, and columns of water rose into the sky on the sea.
Shortly after the "King Kong" retreated, a destroyer of more than 1,000 tons was hit by two 240mm artillery shells. The destroyer suddenly burst into flames and slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.
Suddenly, the heavy cruiser "Aoba", which was on the left wing of the fleet and was dodging artillery shells, managed to escape the attack of the artillery shells, but accidentally rushed into the minefield. Three or four mines exploded at the same time, and loud "boom" noises followed.
It was reported that this heavy cruiser with a fully loaded displacement of 10,822 tons had its 76 mm thick main armor on the waterline on the port side torn apart in an instant. Sea water surged in from the breach, and it rolled over to the bottom of the sea before it could even be rescued.
A destroyer came to rescue the sailors who fell into the water on the "Aoba". Unexpectedly, a row of artillery shells fell, and the front turret of the destroyer was hit. Then a loud noise came, and the turret turned into a ball of fire, followed by another.
The shell hit the bridge, and the destroyer immediately broke into two pieces, quickly sank into the sea, and became the burial object of the heavy cruiser "Aoba".
