Chapter 224: The Battle of Qingdao (8)

When the drone flew to the battlefield, Luo Yue's battalion was fighting fiercely with the German army, and at this time, the People's Army also occupied the advantage on the battlefield, which also made Zhu Yaping feel a little relieved. At the same time, it was also observed through the drone that there were two more German armies, one on the left and one on the right, close to the battlefield.

So Zhu Yaping immediately notified Xie Mingfeng, the commander of the fifth battalion, who had reorganized the troops, and asked him to lead the army to block the German troops coming from the left, and ordered the second battalion stationed on the right side of Jialing Mountain to attack and meet the German troops on the right.

It turned out that these two German armies were stationed at the Moltke Mountain position and the Irtis Mountain position, both of which had more than 200 people, because these two positions were far away from the Jialing Mountain, so they came a little late. However, their whereabouts have been discovered by drones, so naturally they will not achieve a surprising effect.

The 5th Battalion regrouped and struck again to intercept the Germans on the left. Although the battle just now caused heavy losses to the five battalions, but also made the remaining officers and soldiers hold back the fire, this time nothing can be said to fight so badly, so after intercepting the German army, the two sides launched a fierce battle, the fifth battalion firmly blocked the German army, so that the German army could not move forward.

On the other side of the battlefield, the second battalion took the initiative to attack the German army, the second battalion and the first battalion, are all composed of soldiers who have participated in the defense of Tianjin, and the combat effectiveness is above the other battalions, but since the traverser launched the Shandong campaign, the first battalion has repeatedly made meritorious achievements on the battlefield, and the second battalion is naturally a little unbalanced in its heart, and it also hopes to perform well on the battlefield, and it will definitely not be worse than the first battalion. Now that they had finally been given the opportunity to fight, the soldiers were all excited and immediately launched a fierce attack on the Germans.

The number of this German army was only half of that of the second battalion, and most of them were sailors drawn from warships, and their combat effectiveness was not very strong, so they were fiercely attacked by the second battalion, and they were immediately unable to resist it, and were beaten back again and again by the second battalion. However, after all, the German army was well-trained and had a tenacious will to fight, and it still resisted with all its might, and it was not completely defeated.

When Ye Shike led the reserve team to the battlefield, the battle on these three sides entered a white heat, but the German army was obviously in a disadvantageous situation, so Ye Shike also urgently observed the battlefield and decided to put his reserve army there, after all, this is the last card of the German army.

―――――――― Divider ――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――

The armies of the two sides were fighting fiercely in the Jialing Mountain area, and on the sea, fierce battles were also launched, but the fighting situation on the sea was basically one-sided.

After destroying the Bismarck Battery, the Kunming, Xiangyang, and Huaihua ships immediately came to the waters of Zhucha Island and launched artillery bombardment on the seven warships anchored in Qingdao Bay.

In fact, after the Bismarck battery was bombarded by the crossing fleet, the seven warships anchored in Qingdao Bay were ready for battle, except for the ironclad ships Saxony, Byrne, and Baden, which had been stranded on the beach and used as fixed batteries, the flagship Count Bismarck, the battleship Elector, the protective cruiser Felja, and the Empress Augusta had all begun to light fires and boil water, and were ready to go out at any time. Although there are only a few warships left, the German army will not be captured like this.

After the crossing warship launched an artillery attack on the German warship, the three large ironclad ships that ran aground also fired back, but in this dark night, there was no accurate aiming and shooting, and they could only fire in a general direction. In fact, the nearest landing point of the shell was also 2,000 meters away from the passing warship.

The guns that crossed the warships relied on the guidance of fire control radars, and these German ships were stationary, which was the best target, so at the beginning of the shelling, they continuously hit the German ships. However, these three ironclad ships were heavily armored, and they had run aground on the beach, so they were not afraid of being sunk, and although they were hit one after another, they did not cause any damage.

The four warships, the Count Bismarck, the Elector, the Feuer, and the Empress Augusta, were at full speed, preparing to sail out of Qingdao Bay, approaching the direction of the passing warships, hoping to engage in close combat with the crossing fleet.

However, the whereabouts of these warships have long been under the monitoring of the Kunming ship, and they are the Count Bismarck and the Elector, because these two warships are the two warships that pose the greatest threat to the passing warships, and of course these two warships will not be allowed to sail out of Qingdao Bay.

Of course, both warships were large warships of 10,000 tons, and they were heavily armored, and the Elector was originally a battleship, and although the Count Bismarck was an armored cruiser, the thickness of the armor also reached the entry-level standard of a battleship, so the use of artillery to bombard these two warships was not very useful. However, at this time, the Kunming ship had already locked on these two warships, which is also the powerful information function of the Kunming ship, which could shell the three ironclad ships at the same time, and also lock on the Count Bismarck and the Election Emperor, and guide the Xiangyang ship and the Huaihua ship, and respectively fired two Yu-7 torpedoes at each of the two warships.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Although it was a 10,000-ton giant ship, it could not resist the bombardment of the two torpedoes, and was suddenly blown up to the bottom of the ship with a large amount of water, and the warship sank rapidly, and there was no time to rescue it. Fortunately, neither of these two warships sailed out of Qingdao Bay, so although they sank to the bottom of the sea, the sea water was not deep, and although the deck was submerged by the sea, many of the superstructures of the warships were exposed to the sea. It's a pity that the battery was basically flooded and could no longer fire. However, most of the naval soldiers on the warship escaped from the warship or boarded the superstructure of the warship, and did not die much.

At this time, the other two warships, the Faira and the Empress Augusta, had sailed out of Qingdao Bay, and while they were bombarding, they rushed towards the direction of the crossing fleet with all their might. However, for these two protective cruisers, the naval guns were sufficient, so the 130 mm caliber naval guns on the Kunming ship aimed at the two warships, and there was a fierce bombardment, and both warships were hit by several guns, and the steel plates of the hull could not resist the explosion at all, and they sank into the water, and the sea outside Qingdao Bay was deep, and the two warships completely sank to the bottom of the sea.

Although the four active warships were easily defeated, the three ironclads stranded on the beach gave several of the crossing warships a bit of a headache. Because these three ironclad ships were all stranded, the torpedoes were useless to them at all, and the thick armor of these three ironclad ships was not much worse than that of battleships, only the 130 mm guns of the Kunming ship could cause some damage to them, while the 100 mm guns of the Xiangyang and Huaihua ships did almost no damage to the thick armor of these three ironclad ships.

At this time, the sky gradually brightened, and the three ironclad ships ran aground on the beach, like three steel batteries, although each warship had been shot more than ten times, but it was still standing, and it was still firing back with one cannon at a time, of course, the German ship's return fire was basically a random fight, and it did not pose any threat to the passing warship.

Shang Jinfeng, the captain of the Kunming warship, could not help but be a little annoyed, it would be a pity to use missiles and torpedoes again, and even if missiles and torpedoes were used, they might not be effective, because these three ironclad ships were not afraid of being sunk at all, so the only way was to knock out all the guns on these three ironclad ships.

Of course, it is not easy to accurately hit naval guns, even if it is a modern warship, after all, no matter how advanced the artillery, it is mainly still inertial force, so there will be a certain error in accuracy, unless it has the same self-guiding ability as a missile. And the 130 mm caliber naval gun of the Kunming ship, Yihao can fire guided shells.

Guided artillery shells are a kind of high-tech artillery shells, which enable artillery and other indirect targeting weapons to have the ability to accurately hit point targets at long distances. To put it simply, a guided projectile is a guidance device installed on the shell to make it achieve the function of some missiles, but the guided projectile is not equal to a missile, because it has no power of its own, but is fired by the barrel.

Before the Kunming ship was crossed, China's best warship, compared with its predecessor Type 052C missile destroyer, its strength is all-round, and the H/PJ38 single-barreled 130mm naval gun is also specially developed for this type of warship, which can not only fire traditional shells, but also fire various special shells, and naturally can also fire guided shells.

The guided projectile used in the H/PJ38 single-barreled 130mm naval gun adopts infrared/laser composite guidance mode, and four stabilizer wings are installed in the tail and middle of the shell to adjust the flight attitude, and the preservation life is 10 years, at a distance of 10 kilometers, the projectile dispersion error can be controlled within 1 meter, and the first hit rate can reach more than 95%. At a distance of 30 km, the projectile dispersion error can be controlled within 10 meters. As a result, the accuracy of the shells can be greatly improved.

However, due to the high cost of guided artillery shells, there are not many weapons on general warships, and this time the Kunming ship only brought 60 guided artillery shells, and in addition, 30 spare ones were brought on the Taihu ship. In previous battles, guided artillery shells have not been used, and now the situation is special, and Shang Jinfeng can only decide to use guided artillery shells for the first time.

So after Shang Jinfeng gave the order, Li Juntao, the squad leader of the gun and electric squad, immediately commanded the soldiers of the gun and electric squad, replaced the naval gun with guided shells, and also locked on the operation console, the quadrangular battery in the middle of the Saxony.

With the command to "fire", Li Juntao pressed the button for firing, and the 130 naval guns of the Kunming ship let out an angry roar, and a guided shell accurately hit the Sifang battery. The 130 guns then opened fire again, hitting the forward battery of the Saxony, and hitting again.

After two guns, all of the Saxony's main guns were scrapped, and although the Saxony had other secondary guns, it was largely ineffective.
