An Yi read the latest telegram from Yingkou, pondered for a moment, and came to a large map of the Bohai Bay. The location of the minefield was clearly marked on the church map. The Japanese fleet was distributed on both sides of the minefield, thus dividing it into two parts: east and west.
, the original plan to close the door and beat the dogs has actually been aborted.
Next to him, Yang Fei asked anxiously: "Where is our submarine formation?"
Liu Qing, who followed, replied softly: "The formation sent a telegram back half an hour ago, and it is still three hours away from the battlefield!"
Major General Liu Yu, the chief of operations, who was instructing his staff to mark the locations of the main ships of the enemy fleet on the map, thought about it briefly and then said: "The enemy's east and west fleets are both within the attack range of our shore-to-ship missiles...
..We have twenty-four shore-to-ship missiles. Even the most conservative estimate is that they are enough to destroy all the Japanese aircraft carriers. If the submarines take advantage of the chaos and torpedo planes are put into combat to decisively carry out lightning strikes on the Japanese warships, the results will be even greater.
gratifying.
"As for the Japanese battleships, cruisers and other ships surrounded by our mines, they have lost the protection of anti-aircraft destroyers and fighter planes. As long as we continue to suppress their minesweeper operations, these ships will cease to exist under our air strikes after dawn tomorrow.
"
Lieutenant General Wei Mingyang, the chief of naval staff who coordinates the cooperation between the navy, army and air force at the General Staff Headquarters, smiled and said: "Now we hope that the friendly forces will not fight so hard, so that we can have the opportunity to pick up these warships, repair them and put them back into service."
.Think about it, if we don’t even change the names of these battleships and drive them around the world, the Japanese will probably be too embarrassed to hold their heads up!”
An Yi was happy when he heard this and pointed at Wei Mingyang and said: "Ming Yang's idea is good, but anything can happen in the battle, so we don't want to put extra burden on Yang Guan... Well, it seems that dealing with entering
For these Japanese warships that have been set up, it is better to use fortress guns to deal with them... Call Yang Guan and ask him to hold on for another two and a half hours. When the submarine formation arrives, he will use shore-to-ship missiles to deal with the Japanese aircraft carrier. By then
Let’s launch a full-scale attack!”
"yes!"
...
In the waters of Yingkou, a fierce battle is going on.
As the flagship of the assault fleet, the high-speed battleship "Haruna" was frequently in danger during this fortress artillery attack. Fortunately, it was evaded in time, and most of the shells became near-misses. The only shell that hit the front deck was
A big hole was made, but fortunately the hull structure was not affected.
In this case, the battle cruiser "Haruna" had to quickly withdraw from the range of the fortress guns to avoid being hit again. Rear Admiral Masao Nishida, the interim commander of the assault fleet, called the flagship of the fleet in a panic, but was surprised
It was found that there was strong radio wave interference. (《》)
Facing the fierce coastal defense artillery fire, Masao Nishida immediately found Army Lieutenant General Kato Torajiro who was watching the battle on the deck and demanded an immediate withdrawal.
Kato Tomarijiro grabbed Nishida Masao's collar and angrily accused: "We paid such a heavy price to approach Yingkou Port, and now we are retreating. Who will be responsible? It is better for our army to rush now, as long as we occupy Yingkou West Fort
, you can change the current unfavorable situation immediately!”
Masao Nishida was about to scold Kato Tomarijiro for his rudeness, but when he saw his solemn expression, his heart softened and he could only say: "Okay, let's retreat first, let the army board the landing ship to launch a beaching operation, and then wait for opportunities to find the enemy's artillery fire.
Weaknesses, give the enemy a fierce blow, and cover the army's actions! But let me say it first, if we can't win the hard battle, we must withdraw, otherwise we will be in trouble when daybreak!"
"good!"
Kato Tomarijiro bowed heavily to Nishida Masao.
Soon, the assault fleet began to retreat back, retreating beyond the range of the fortress guns to avoid the bombardment. At the same time, it dispatched landing ships and landing craft to march towards the Yingkou beach.
On the ink-washed sea, a large number of landing ships and landing craft rode the wind and waves and rushed towards the beach. They wanted to capture the line from the mouth of the Liaohe River to Sidaogou before dawn. After capturing the West Fort, they would seize the Yingkou city in one go and build a solid air defense position.
, to deal with the air force threat caused by Anjiajun’s superiority.
Yang Guan, who received the telegram from An Yi, paced back and forth in the fortress headquarters with his hands behind his back. Colonel Wang Tao, the communications section chief, came in and reported: "Commander, the radar station sent news that the Japanese fleet has withdrawn from the range of our fortress artillery. They sent
A large number of landing ships tried to land on the beach!"
"The Guizhou donkey has no skills! Do the little devils think that their army can do things that the navy can't do?" Yang Guan waved his hand and calmly ordered: "Order the small and medium-caliber artillery to prepare. Anyway, there are so many Japanese artillery shells captured since the Northeast Campaign.
Fight as hard as you can and wipe out these little devils at sea!"
"yes!"
Wang Tao followed the order and left. Yang Guan came to the periscope of the fortress and carefully looked at the dark sea.
Light suddenly appeared on the sea, and flares hung high in the air, slowly descending. Almost at the same time, the fortress shook violently, a rumbling roar sounded, and various small and medium-caliber artillery shells streaked across the sky like sparks and meteors, falling to the ground.
The sea made loud noises one after another.
The huge water column, the water splashing everywhere, and the huge waves stirred up by the shells made the Japanese officers and soldiers inside the landing ship tremble with fear.
In the dim cabin, no movement could be seen outside, but the violently shaking hull, the loud explosion like a thunderbolt, and the splashing water all over the sky were undoubtedly a nightmare for the Japanese officers and soldiers responsible for seizing the beach.
.(《》)
One by one, the landing craft faced intensive artillery fire and rushed towards the beach. Suddenly, a small landing craft received a shell from the Type 96 150mm cannon. This Japanese-made cannon is the most powerful 6-inch cannon in the world today.
A loud "boom" was heard from the army artillery. In the blink of an eye, the landing craft, together with a small group of Japanese troops inside, were immediately blown into pieces by 50.2 kilograms of projectiles and quickly disappeared from the sea.
Not long after, another large 1,500-ton landing ship was hit by a 150 mm caliber cannon shell. It instantly lost power and spun in place. Then a row of cannon shells fell, destroying the landing ship in the blink of an eye.
It was blown to pieces and sank quickly.
In the electronic command center located on the bank of Xijing Lake in Yingkou City, the radar soldiers and communications soldiers were busy non-stop. The data from the airship radar and radar vehicles were continuously analyzed and processed on the computer of the electronic command center. Subsequently, the coordinates were continuously
Ground was communicated to each gun position through telephone lines. The gunners aimed and fired in an orderly manner based on the data continuously transmitted from the electronic center.
On the rough sea, flames shot into the sky.
During the Japanese sprint, one landing ship exploded and caught fire, illuminating the originally dark sea surface as if it were daylight. Many landing ships did not sink after being shot. They were like fire coffins floating on the water, lighting up the surrounding areas.
The sea surface lit up. Countless Japanese officers and soldiers struggled to swim to the beach, but most of them were dragged to the bottom of the sea by the whirlpool of the surrounding sunken ships. The rest also sank due to exhaustion in the cold November water.
sea.
About a division of the Japanese troops, in this death charge, one-third sank to the bottom of the sea along with the landing ships, and the ships on which the rest were aboard finally approached the beach amidst heavy gunfire.
Above the beach, the fortress's shooting holes were opened one after another. General-purpose machine guns, as well as light and heavy machine guns captured from the Japanese army, stretched out from each shooting hole and aimed at the junction of the sea water and the beach.
"Bang bang——"
Just as the landing ship approached the beach, there was a crisp explosion above the beach, a string of flares roared into the sky, and the sky and the earth became pale.
The sudden appearance of light exposed the Japanese troops who were rushing to land on the beach. As the attack order came, the general-purpose machine gun made the sound of tearing cloth, and dense shell casings fell on the ground of the fortress like rain, making a clanging sound.
There was a sound of impact, and fire whips protruded from the muzzles of each gun. The dense bullets shot onto the sea like rain, water splashed everywhere, and pieces of Japanese soldiers fell into the cold sea water like wheat.
The shells kept falling, and dense bullets swept across the sea!
It can be said that this was the bloodiest and most merciless massacre! Hundreds of general-purpose machine guns, as well as countless crooked, crooked and chicken-neck light and heavy machine guns captured from the Japanese army, as well as hundreds of Marks
The Qin heavy machine gun kept spraying barrage, and the sea water rolled as if boiling. With the sound of gunfire one after another, the Japanese troops who had just rushed out of the landing ship fell one by one.
In addition to artillery shells and machine guns, anti-aircraft machine guns and machine guns of various calibers also joined the massacre.
The 20mm Oerlikon machine gun and the 12.7mm high-level dual-purpose machine gun poured out bullets like a violent storm. The Japanese who were shot, whether they were officers or soldiers, were instantly cut into pieces, losing their heads, upper bodies, and limbs.
Bodies were everywhere, pieces of flesh fell to pieces in the shallow water, and the entire coast was stained red with blood.
Flares were fired into the sky one after another as if they were free. In the light of day, the sea water filled with blood-red foam surged onto the beach with the rolling tide, followed by a large number of broken limbs and human body parts.
The organs receded quickly, and the sea breeze was filled with a strong smell of blood, making those who were there feel like they were in hell.
Although the Japanese army was deeply influenced by the spirit of Bushido and it was their honor to sacrifice their lives for the emperor, many Japanese soldiers were so scared that they were so frightened that they crouched in the shallow water and did not dare to move.
Like moths to a flame, more than 20,000 Japanese troops rushed to the beach one after another, and were quickly wiped out. The remaining ones continued to approach the beach and continued to launch death charges.
Just when the officers and soldiers of Anjia were having fun killing the Japanese, the radar showed that the Japanese fleet was moving again, and the electronic command center immediately issued an early warning.
After Yang Guan received the notice, he immediately made a judgment: The Japanese army was ready to make a desperate move!
"Order Colonel Xiang Shuang to have the B1 bomber squadron of his regiment attack immediately! You don't need the accuracy of airdrops. Just throw aerial bombs and napalm bombs into the sea for me to kill and burn these bastards!" Yang
Guan gave the order.
The B1 bomber is a mosquito bomber and has always been the main force of the Anjia Army Air Force. In the current air battles in Europe, both the United Kingdom and Germany use this all-wooden structure fighter aircraft produced with technology introduced from South China as a universal aircraft.
Mosquito bombers are very easy to use. When carrying out large-scale bombing missions, a small number of mosquito bombers can be interspersed in a large aircraft formation, hanging four bombs ranging from 200 kilograms to 500 kilograms, or conduct a single attack.
Or several aircraft can be grouped together to release bombs together. It should be known that when bombing, mosquito bombers can not only carry out high-altitude horizontal bombing, but also carry out precision bombing at low-altitude point-shaped small targets, and the effects are very good.
When strategic bombers fly toward enemy positions in large numbers at night, mosquito bombers act as guides on more occasions, finding and marking target locations or dropping flares for the large group of aircraft. At this time, they often take the lead and fly at the front of the group of aircraft.
At the same time, both Germany and Britain like to take advantage of the Mosquito bombers' fast speed and night flying capabilities. They fly alone behind enemy lines at night, deliberately increasing the number of air raid warnings in the enemy's rear areas and disturbing the other side's peace.
In the current situation where Britain is extremely short of supplies, the all-wood Mosquito bomber has played an extremely important role.
When B1 bombers took off in groups from Dashiqiao Military Airport, the returning Japanese fleet fired a swarm of artillery shells at the Yingkou West Fort. Several 150mm and 120mm guns were firing at the landing ships on the sea.
caliber guns were hit accurately, one of the 356 mm
The giant shell directly hit the emplacement of the 150mm cannon, and a loud "boom" was heard. Under the blow of the 356mm heavy cannon, the solid fortification made of reinforced concrete collapsed instantly like a house made of building blocks.
More than ten artillery officers and soldiers in the artillery position, including transport troops, all died heroically.
The goal of the Japanese fleet is obvious, which is to suppress the defensive firepower of the Anjia Army, facilitate the landing troops to quickly reach the shore, and then compete for the first-line position.
As long as the landing force can drive a nail in front of the fortress, the next strategy will be much easier to develop. Soon, several machine gun fortresses were blown to pieces by Japanese naval guns, and the officers and soldiers inside were shattered into pieces along with the shattered fortresses.
, the blood of heroic spirits dyed the earth red.
Taking advantage of the naval guns to suppress the coastal defense firepower, another Japanese division joined the charge. The entire sea was covered with densely packed landing ships.
The Japanese army's madness did not last long. About four squadrons of B1 bombers appeared in the eastern sky, and then began to pour aerial bombs into the sea crazily. Violent explosions were heard everywhere on the sea, and landing ships were constantly hit and capsized by bombs.
The Japanese battleships, cruisers and destroyers were given special attention. The napalm bombs dropped by some fighter planes quickly turned the battleships into torches, which were very conspicuous on the dark sea.
At this time, the Japanese fleet did not care about bombing the west fort. They immediately formed an air defense formation, the radar fire control system was activated, and various anti-aircraft weapons continued to spray shells against the dark sky.
At the same time, our army's counterattack started again. Under the guidance of radar, the 305mm, 240mm and 203mm fortress guns all roared, and huge artillery shells like meteors and fire rains were fired into the air in the distance.
The Japanese fleet covered it, and artillery shells continued to explode in the Japanese fleet. The "Fubuki"-class "Orog" special destroyer in front bore the brunt. It was hit by four bombs and was immediately sunk. Two more destroyers followed.
Heavy damage and sinking,
The high-speed battleship "Haruna" was first attacked by four 250-kilogram bombs dropped by B1 bombers, causing heavy losses to the officers and soldiers on the ship. Then it was hit by two 305-mm caliber artillery shells one after another. Both the No. 1 and No. 2 turrets were hit.
Various degrees of damage.
Faced with the unfavorable situation, even Kato Tomarijiro, who had been taking the lead, felt a sense of fear.
Since the Army was launching a landing operation, Rear Admiral Masao Nishida had to order the fleet to withdraw from the range of the fortress artillery again and actively conduct air defense. The fate of the fleet would be decided depending on the outcome of the Army's landing operation.
