Watch Fairy Tail Episode 131: Sea and Land, Simultaneous Expedition
Episode 131: On land and sea, set off at the same time
A group of bombers roared like dark clouds and flew over the Japanese positions. In an instant, large areas of the land below turned into seas of fire. Four horizontal bombing aviation groups and more than 500 horizontal bombers were divided into two attack directions.
The Ming army selected two breakthrough points and carried out indiscriminate bombing. More than two thousand 100 kilogram bombs, plus more than two thousand 100 kilogram incendiary bombs, poured down.
The sound of earth-shaking explosions came from ahead, and the bright light that turned half of the sky red was clearly visible from the Ming army's position. Once the bombers flew over the target, the Changchun Ming Army headquarters immediately issued an artillery attack order.
With an order, the artillery of 50 divisions of the Ming Army roared together, and the shells roared and tsunami covered them. The dawn sky was almost filled with densely intertwined lines of fire. The ground was like an earthquake, shaking constantly, two
My feet are numb.
Xiang Xiaoqiang lied to the reporters. Now, he really went to the front line, and it was the artillery position.
He stood outside a bunker, watching the artillerymen in front of him wearing steel helmets and shirtless, skillfully filling cannonballs, firing, retracting, then receiving new cannonballs, and then quickly repeating the previous cycle... His ears were now except for
There was a loud rumbling noise, and nothing could be heard. Looking around, I couldn't see where the sun was rising. All I could see was the dense flash of artillery shells. My nose now smelled everything except the smell of gunpowder smoke.
Not here anymore.
He turned his head and shouted loudly to Wu Yanbin beside him:
“War is fucking terrible!!!”
Wu Yanbin looked at him with a blank look on his face, obviously not hearing anything.
Xiang Xiaoqiang was very excited and shouted:
“But it’s so damn fun!!!”
Wu Yanbin opened his mouth and smiled stupidly. He couldn't hear anything and had no choice but to nod.
This continuous sound wave and air wave were impacting his chest every second. Xiang Xiaoqiang felt as if his chest was being hit repeatedly with a sledgehammer, and his heart was beating very hard. This feeling could not be explained as uncomfortable.
Still enjoyable.
He raised his wrist and looked carefully at the faint green light on the luminous watch through the flash. It had been five minutes since the bombardment. But it had just begun. According to the scheduled plan, the firepower preparations on this side would last half an hour, and by five o'clock sharp
When the fire ceased, the tank group began to rush forward.
Suddenly, someone pulled his arm hard. When Xiang Xiaoqiang looked back, he saw that it was Xiuxiu.
Xiuxiu pulled his arm hard with one hand, pointed to the cover with the other, and said something loudly with a firm expression that showed no room for negotiation.
Xiang Xiaoqiang knew that he had to enter the bunker. This was the "condition in exchange" for Xiu Xiu and Li Gensheng to allow him to come to the front line: he must enter the bunker within five minutes after the bombardment started. Because no matter what, after his own artillery position opened fire,
, you may receive a counterattack from the other party. Although
However, judging from the current situation, this probability is very small, but because there is Xiang Xiaoqiang on the position, too many people cannot afford to take the risk. Xiang Xiaoqiang really wants to watch the entire process of the artillery firing, and then look at the assault gun in front
, armored vehicles, and tanks charged forward, but they couldn't help themselves.
Xiang Xiaoqiang was pulled into the bunker by Xiu Xiu and the thick wooden door was closed.
This bunker is also a field bunker. It is a semi-underground fortification built with logs and sandbags. It is only as big as half a room. There is a table, a field phone, and a lantern hanging. Xiang Xiaoqiang lay on the observation window and continued to watch the shelling outside.
.
Amidst the deafening sound of cannons, Xiuxiu suddenly hugged him tightly from behind, her cheek pressed against his back, and her "boom boom" heartbeat was close to her chest and directly transmitted to Xiang Xiaoqiang's heart.
Xiang Xiaoqiang knew that Xiuxiu might have been infected by the environment, and the feeling of fear of losing him suddenly surged up. He did not look back, but just grabbed Xiuxiu's hands on his waist and stroked them gently.
The pungent smell of gunpowder smoke was gradually mixed with a faint smell of gasoline, and some indescribable burnt smell. It was the smell of heavy incendiary bombs more than ten kilometers away. Those places must have become a sea of fire.
, the smell has just come over now.
The bright light outside the observation window kept flashing on the faces of the two people, and the surrounding earth and log walls were trembling.
I don't know how long this went on, but suddenly, Xiu Xiu let go of him, jumped to the side like flying, and stood up.
Xiang Xiaoqiang turned around and saw Hu Jiong pushing open the thick wooden door and coming in. He trotted up to him, raised his wrist to show him his watch, and pointed outside. Xiang Xiaoqiang nodded. He knew it was already four fifty-five.
Once divided, after five minutes, the fire preparations will stop and the armored units in the front will charge.
Sure enough, at five o'clock in the morning, the sound of gunfire outside stopped one after another within ten seconds. In the blink of an eye, the whole world seemed to have fallen into dead silence again.
The field phone on the bunker table rang. Hu Jiong grabbed the phone and after a moment, handed the phone to Xiang Xiaoqiang:
"Sir, this is Commander Li from Changchun."
Xiang Xiaoqiang took the microphone:
"Gensheng, it's me."
Li Gensheng said on the microphone:
"Sir, please give the attack order! I will have someone follow you to the headquarters of each division!"
Xiang Xiaoqiang was startled. He didn't expect Li Gensheng to be so thoughtful and play into his heart. He smiled and said:
"Okay, take it."
After a while, I heard the voice of the female soldier on the phone:
"Sir, we have been connected, you can speak."
Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at the smoke filling the observation window, took a deep breath, and said loudly:
"I am Xiang Xiaoqiang. Now I am ordering all divisions to attack the predetermined targets!"
Immediately, various commands were heard intertwined on the microphone. The division headquarters of each division were issuing attack orders to the troops below.
At this time, Xiang Xiaoqiang felt the ground beneath his feet shaking again, but this time what came to his ears was not the loud explosion, but the roar of thousands of engines coming from far ahead. Countless tanks and armored vehicles
, assault guns, cars... Large and small diesel and gasoline engines are intertwined, forming a "buzzing" roar between the sky and the earth. It can be heard clearly from several kilometers away.
What Xiang Xiaoqiang heard was just this small section of the engine that attacked the front.
Soon, another kind of roar resounded through the sky. A large area of engine sound appeared in the sky, quickly passing from behind his head to the front. Xiang Xiaoqiang quickly lay down on the window and looked up to the sky. On the narrow "strip" of sky in the observation window,
They kept flying past one group after another. But this time they were all small groups, in groups of three, three or four, passing quickly. Those were dive bombers.
Higher in the sky, there are four fighter jets in groups.
From the general appearance, Xiang Xiaoqiang could barely judge that this time the bombers were all "Condors", and most of the fighter jets were "Goshawks". The huge production capacity after the unification of the Ming Dynasty showed its effect. Since mass production
Later, it was the first time that these two types of aircraft were used in such large quantities.
The bombers an hour ago were all horizontal bombers, and in the early morning, they were not aiming for accuracy, but were intended to drop bombs on a large area on the Japanese positions to prepare for long-range firepower. The current dive bomber group was designed to directly
Supported ground combat and carried out "surgical" precision strikes on Japanese defensive positions.
"Alas..." Xiang Xiaoqiang held the log of the observation window with both hands and sighed with melancholy, "I really want to sit in a tank and rush forward with them!"
"Sir..." Xiuxiu gently held his arm from behind and smiled softly, "Think about it in your head, it's the same."
"..."
Just as the Ming army in the northeast was pushing back the Japanese army with a torrent of steel, the first two "Archfish-class" anti-aircraft submarines were refitted in the naval shipyard of the East China Sea Fleet base in the Zhoushan Islands in the far south.
However, this cannot be called a real "Archer-class". It is just modified from two ordinary submarines, not specially built. First modify two submarines for a trial, and if the effect is good, then build them specially. These two submarines do not cancel the torpedoes
The launch system still has torpedo tubes at the front and rear, but it does not carry torpedoes when going to sea. Moreover, the 75mm main gun on the front deck has been cancelled. To save weight, a layer of armor was installed on the deck and conning tower.
Protects against shrapnel, strafing and close range shock waves.
The rest of the firepower equipment is the same as designed, namely 2 40mm Bofors cannons, 8 20mm Oerlikon cannons, and 8 12.7mm m2 heavy machine guns. For a submarine, these anti-aircraft weapons
It is already unprecedentedly powerful.
A dozen heavy torpedoes and the main gun on the front deck were removed, and a layer of armor and two cannons and eight machine guns were added. The total weight increased slightly. After testing, the submarine's top speed on the water surface did not drop much, but only increased from
The original 17.5 knots dropped to 17 knots. However, the underwater speed dropped significantly, from the original maximum of 7 knots to a maximum of 5.5 knots. After all, two machine guns were installed on the upper part of the submarine, which increased a lot of underwater resistance.
In the early morning of the 15th, when the Ming army launched a general attack on the Japanese army on land, two anti-aircraft submarines quietly sailed out of the submarine base in the dawn sky. The girls on the boats wore steel helmets and heavy bulletproof vests.
, wearing a seat belt, looking at the sky around him anxiously, praying constantly in his heart.
They prayed that it would be best if no Japanese planes appeared. Even if a Japanese plane did appear, it would be best to only have one so that they could be shot down in two or three hits.
These two submarines were specially selected. The difference is that the selection criteria this time are not the ace captain - not based on how many tons of enemy ships have been sunk before, but the ace gun crew - based on the number of previous kills.
They passed several enemy planes. A group of girls in the gun crews of these two submarines were all good at "masturbating", but despite this, they only shot down two and three planes respectively, and they were Qing army planes.
What we have to face now is a Japanese aircraft that is said to be "ten times more powerful" than Qing aircraft. Not long ago, it sank the Black Fish. After the girls from the Black Fish were retrieved, the girls in the entire East China Sea Fleet submarine force, whether they were
In the cafeteria and in the dormitory, the Black Fish incident was taken as a topic, and it was passed on endlessly. Gradually, even the male soldiers of the surface fleet became a little nervous. The entire East China Sea Fleet was filled with fear of Japanese aircraft.
mood.
At this time, the senior generals of the East China Sea Fleet also began to understand the significance of Xiang Xiaoqiang's insistence on building anti-aircraft submarines. Now, to break the submarine force's fear of Japanese aircraft, they must rely on these anti-aircraft submarines. When they
Only when they knock down a few Japanese bombers and return in triumph and brag loudly will the mentality of the girls in the submarine force return to normal.
