First of all, the fleet was divided into two, and the Kunming and Huaihua ships turned around to find more suitable sea areas to attack the Qidingshan Fort on Liugong Island and the British warships in Weihai Bay.

The land commander battalion Zhu Yaping ordered the second company to carry out an airborne landing and attack Weihaiwei operation, and the company commander Qiu Yahui took full command and divided an artillery platoon from the artillery company to fight with the second company, while the other armies were commanded by another battalion commander to carry out a landing operation from sea to land.

Lu Kai, the captain of the Changbaishan ship, also issued an order to the ship's aviation department, ordering the carrier-based helicopter to be towed out of the hangar and ready to take off. Four Z-8F helicopters rose into the air one after another, carrying the soldiers to the shore.

At the same time, *** also led the remaining fighters to the dock of the Changbai Mountain ship, and boarded the two Type 726 hovercraft parked in the dock cabin. Then the water door of the dock opened, and the sea water poured into the dock, lifting the two hovercraft, which also started in turn, drove out of the dock, and then sped away to the shore at a speed of 50 knots.

After the air and sea operations were initiated, it was the turn of the fighters of the first battalion of the New Army. The battalion commander Luo Yue immediately ordered all the soldiers to gather and prepare to set off.

After the soldiers of the first battalion of the new army boarded the Changbai Ship Mountain, they were placed in the vehicle compartment to rest on the spot, because the vehicle cabin is connected to the dock cabin, and this arrangement is also conducive to the new army to quickly enter the landing mode, on the other hand, it is also to let the soldiers of the first battalion of the new army not run around in the Changbai Mountain ship, after all, such a large warship far beyond the scientific and technological level of this era, as much as possible, do not let the people of this era know too much, and maintain a little more sense of mystery, it is better.

Although the area of the vehicle compartment is not small, and the lighting and ventilation effect is good, but after all, it is a closed space, and after staying in it for more than ten hours, the soldiers of the first battalion of the new army are a little unable to hold back, and now they know that they are about to board the ship for landing operations, and they all immediately come to the spirit, immediately lined up the line, and under the leadership of Luo Yue, they also came to the dock cabin

The Changbaishan ship carried two assault boats and four rubber boats, and six assault boats and eight rubber boats were transferred from other warships, all of which were parked in the dock compartment at this time. Originally, the dock of the Changbaishan ship could accommodate four Type 726 hovercraft, but now only two are installed, and the other two 318 boats are not placed in the dock, so the remaining space can fully accommodate all the assault boats and rubber boats. Of course, the assault boat is parked in the dock and is floating on the water, while the rubber boat is hung on the side wall of the dock.

And when the first battalion of the new army came to the dock, they were immediately stunned, although these soldiers had never been soldiers before, and they did not know how to fight the landing operation, but after all, they lived by the sea and had seen a lot of sea ships, because generally large sea ships could not directly dock, but put down small boats from the side of the ship, and then rowed to the shore with people, so this landing operation was about the same, but no one thought that the bottom part of this big ship could directly enter the water, and through the hatch, it could go straight to the outside sea, and there were seven or eight small boats floating on the water at this time, so it was of course much more convenient to get on the boat than to lower the boat from the side of the ship。 Of course, some soldiers also questioned whether the ship would sink if it was flooded.

Of course, Luo Yue didn't have time to answer the soldiers' questions now, but immediately ordered the soldiers to untie the rubber boats hanging on the bulkheads on both sides, put them into the water, and then board the boat, ready to land.

However, there are about 400 soldiers in the first battalion of the new army, and the existing assault boats and rubber boats can only carry more than 240 people, so they must be divided into two groups for landing.

After a short time, all the assault boats and rubber boats were already full of soldiers, Luo Yue half-knelt on the bow of an assault boat, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go." ”

The thrusters at the stern of the assault boat immediately made a start-up sound, propelling the assault boat out of the dock and into the sea. Other assault boats and rubber boats also started one after another and sailed out of the dock of the Changbaishan ship.

At this time, the time is about two o'clock in the morning, the visibility on the sea surface is still extremely low, only near the dock cabin, you can rely on the lights in the dock cabin to illuminate the sea surface of thirty or forty meters nearby, out of this range, you can basically not see anything ten meters away, can only rely on the WZ-5 unmanned helicopter that took off from the Xiangyang ship to provide guidance for them, and before that, the unmanned helicopter has been two 726 type hovercraft to guide the landing.

However, each assault boat and rubber boat has a night indicator light, and a walkie-talkie, so that you can contact your companions, although this may also be discovered by the enemy, but it can't be taken care of so much. Through the walkie-talkie, Luo Yue confirmed that each assault boat and rubber boat had sailed out of the dock of the Changbaishan ship, and after turning a corner, under the guidance of the unmanned helicopter, they headed for the shore.

The Changbaishan ship is about 13 kilometers away from the shore, and the Type 726 hovercraft that was first batch of docked has already reached the shore, after all, the hovercraft has an ultra-high speed of more than 50 knots, although it needs to detour back to the flank of the British defense line to land, but it does not take more than 20 minutes.

At this time, Luo Yue's attention also turned to the front, and at this time he had already put on night vision goggles, facing the rushing sea, closely watching the scene on the shore, and the Type 95 automatic rifle in his hand was also held up in front of him, ready to shoot at any time.

Luo Yue did not participate in the Battle of Dagukou, so this was his first time participating in an amphibious landing operation, and he had only participated in a few exercises before. Amphibious landing operations have always been the most difficult of all modes of operation, and although the Kunming, Xiangyang, and Huaihua warships had destroyed shore-based batteries before, no one could guarantee that all shore-based firepower had been completely destroyed.

According to the experience of the old time and space, it is generally quite a good situation to be able to destroy 80% of the shore-based defensive firepower before the landing operation of the two ships, because the enemy has many hidden shore-based defensive firepower that is difficult to find and clear. What's more, now they are riding assault boats and rubber boats, and they have no ability to resist and defend, and once they are hit by shore-based defensive firepower, they can only wait to be killed. And now Luo Yue is the commander of a battalion, with more than 400 people under his command, and the responsibility on his shoulders is much heavier, so he doesn't dare to be careless at this time.

However, the assault boat and rubber boat drove for a few minutes, and they did not suffer any blows, and the smoothness was almost unimaginable, much smoother than the previous exercises Luo Yue participated in, and it also made Luo Yue a little relieved.

Although assault boats and rubber boats do not have the same high cabin speed as hovercraft, they can reach more than 30 knots, and they do not have to make a detour, but go straight to the shore, so it only takes about 15 minutes to approach the shore, and you can vaguely see the reef outcropping from the sea.

Luo Yue's assault boat had already opened the searchlight line and reduced its speed. Generally speaking, it is a very dangerous thing to turn on the searchlights at night, but considering that the defense on the shore has been completely wiped out, there is no need to be too rigid, and Luo Yue also immediately notified the other assault boats and rubber boats to slow down and turn on the lights to avoid hitting the rocks.

After driving for another minute or two, Luo Yue only felt a shock at the bottom of the assault boat and stopped, and the driver of the assault boat said: "It's already bottomed, everyone get off the boat." ”

After Luo Yue heard this, he immediately jumped off the assault boat and fell into the seawater, and sure enough, the sea water was not deep, only to his thigh. Then Luo Yue turned on his searchlight, waved his hand back, and said, "Get off the boat, get off the boat." ”

When the soldiers of the assault boats and rubber boats heard this, they immediately jumped into the sea one after another, and the soldiers who turned out to be traversers also turned on their searchlights. After the assault boats and rubber boats put down the soldiers, they all immediately turned around and returned to the Changbai Mountain ship to transport the next group of soldiers.

And Luo Yue led the soldiers to walk on the shore on the sea, although the defense on the shore has been completely wiped out, but Luo Yue still did not dare to be careless, and immediately after going ashore, he immediately assigned troops, to the shore bunker to hide, and arranged the shore position, and also sent soldiers to go deep into the shore to reconnoiter the enemy. These are the basic elements of the two-jail landing operation, and although they are somewhat redundant at this time, it is absolutely necessary for the soldiers to develop good battlefield habits.

About half an hour later, the soldiers of the second batch of the first battalion of the New Army also successfully landed on the shore, and at the same time brought with them the new battlefield dynamics conveyed from the Kunming ship, at this time, the Kunming and Huaihua ships had already removed the Qidingshan battery on Liugong Island and sank the three British warships anchored in Weihai Bay, so the landed troops did not have to worry about the enemy's artillery attack from the sea and Liugong Island, and they could fight with confidence.

The battle on the shore, the airborne landing troops went very smoothly, because the British troops were all transferred out of the city to garrison, so there was almost no defensive force in the Weihai Acropolis, so after the troops landed on the ground, they successfully broke into the Weihai Acropolis effortlessly, and now basically controlled the gate of the Weihai Acropolis, and even did not fire a few shots.

At this time, the crossing army that landed in advance also detoured to the flank of the British defense line, so the command ordered the first battalion of the new army to advance quickly, and cooperate with the crossing army that landed in advance, to break the British defense line in one fell swoop and completely lock in the victory.

After receiving the order from the headquarters, Luo Yue no longer hesitated cautiously, and ordered the soldiers of the whole battalion to advance quickly. In fact, the British defense line was less than 4 kilometers from the shore, so it only took a few minutes for the first battalion of the new army to rush to the vicinity of the British defense line.
