readx;?“ "Almost as Liu Zhenhu's voice fell......, a rapid and piercing cannonball whistle sounded near. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The soldiers were horrified to see a ball of fire flying rapidly from the sky in front of them.

Before the officers and men could react, hundreds of oversized naval artillery shells fell into the positions of a regiment and other nearby regiments, and exploded in vain.

The violent explosion produced a powerful shock wave and a sense of vibration, even if a shell landed more than 100 meters away from Liu Zhenhu.

He and the warriors around him also felt a strong shock wave rushing towards them, and the ground trembled under their feet.

The conditioned reflex was general, and Liu Zhenhu and others fell down in the fortifications.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom......" Violent explosions sounded one after another, Liu Zhenhu only felt a buzzing in his ears, and his eardrums were shaken to the slightest pain.

Looking down from the heights, I saw hundreds of shells exploding one after another, turning the Wafangdian position of the Northeast New Army into a sea of fire, and thick gunpowder smoke continued to rise into the air, and the scene was very spectacular.

Thanks to the radio guidance of the hot air balloon observation, the shelling of the Japanese naval ships was very accurate, and almost all the shells fell into the positions of the Northeast New Army in the first salvo.

It turned out that after learning that the main energy of the Northeast New Army was used to meet the Northeast Army that was leaving the pass, the number of air force sorties was also greatly reduced.

The cunning Okamura Ninji immediately suggested that Ryokari mobilize the naval fleet hiding in the waters of the Changshan Islands and cooperate with the ground army to carry out a surprise firepower attack on the new army northeast of Wafangdian.

To help the ground troops break through the Wafangdian defense line of the Northeast New Army and relieve the siege of Yingkou, Okamura Ninji led the Japanese army center to blossom again, and the inside and outside should be combined to win the battle.

This is why the Japanese did not attack all morning, and they were preparing for it while waiting for the arrival of the naval fleet.

Hot air balloon observation is one of them.

Dozens of large ships and an astonishing number of gunboats of the Devil's naval fleet set off from the waters of the Changshan Islands and bypassed the military port of Lushun in Dalian.

From south to north, sail into the sea near Pulandian. It is only about 20 kilometers away from Wafangdian in a straight line, and it is completely within the effective range of the Japanese large-caliber naval guns.

Coupled with the guidance of army observers, the Japanese naval guns were like having eyes, and the hit rate was surprisingly high.

The caliber of conventional guns on the Japanese cruisers was also more than 240 mm, and even more about 300 mm or even 400 mm.

Therefore, the power of the projectile is far from being comparable to the 150mm heavy artillery of the heavy artillery brigade of the Northeast New Army.

Hundreds of shells fell and exploded, and the two-kilometer radius was suddenly shrouded in dust and smoke.

The fortifications repaired by the Northeast New Army were extremely vulnerable at this moment, a little closer to the explosion point, and were destroyed in an instant and turned into ruins.

Some of the new officers and soldiers inside also died heroically on the spot.

One of Liu Zhenhu's guards risked his life to crawl up to him. He said in a loud voice: "Tuanzao, it's too dangerous here, you better hurry back to the regimental headquarters!" ”

"Nonsense, you can't run around at this juncture, give me an honest stomach!" Liu Zhenhu reprimanded loudly, not to mention that getting up and walking around in such an artillery bombardment is tantamount to looking for death.

If he, as the regiment commander and deputy division commander, leaves suddenly, even for the sake of safety, it will have a great impact on the morale of the officers and men.

The more dangerous it is, the more you have to show that you can live and die with the officers and soldiers under your command. Never give up.

Only in this way can the soldiers be determined to die with each other and advance and retreat together with life and death.

There is a good saying, there will be no greed for life. Soldiers have the heart of death.

At the same time, in the joint headquarters of the 2nd and 3rd divisions in the town of Wafangdian.

Zhao Zhenfan just put down the phone, turned his head to Wang Yizhe and said, "Brother Dingfang." The front reports that the devils suddenly launched a massive and heavy shelling. ”

"Massive shelling? Listening to this explosion, I'm afraid the caliber is bigger than the heavy artillery of our heavy artillery brigade, right? Wang Yizhe listened attentively.

His voice fell. A cannonball seemed to have landed in the town, and it immediately shook his headquarters to the ground, and Wang Yizhe and Zhao Zhenfan both became disgraced.

"Phew!" Zhao Zhenfan spat at the foam, shook his head and shook off the dust above his head, and said, "I think, eighty percent of the little devils' naval fleet is coming, otherwise how could the devils have such powerful artillery fire?" ”

"Well, it should be." Wang Yizhe nodded thoughtfully, and said: "Guoping, let's hurry up and send a telegram to Xinghan, and ask him to send air force fighters to reinforce it quickly, and if the devils continue to bombard like this, the defense line may collapse!" ”

"Okay, I'll send a telegram to the commander-in-chief myself right away." Zhao Zhenfan nodded and turned around.

……………………

In Chaoyang County, due to the lack of troops, Zhang Xinghan had to send a regiment to escort more than 10,000 captive soldiers back to Jinzhou.

He personally led two infantry regiments and one tank regiment to advance in the direction of Jianchang County to meet Liu Jianguo's 4th Division.

Although these more than 10,000 captive soldiers are ready-made qualified soldiers, Zhang Xinghan does not dare to use them now, let alone use them to fight with the Northeast Army.

On the other hand, if it is used to fight devils, you can take a risk.

Now, Zhang Xinghan decided to temporarily place them in Jinzhou, and after repelling the Northeast Army, he would disperse and supplement them into the 1st, 4th, 9th, and 10th independent divisions.

Only by integrating them into the troops with the majority of the Northeast New Army can they truly become a member of the Northeast New Army.

Otherwise, if a new unit is formed, this force is likely to secretly form a small group of interests, which may cause unimaginable disasters at a critical moment.

This is something that Zhang Xinghan will never allow to happen, as a traverser, he must absolutely guarantee the loyalty of the troops under his jurisdiction.

While leading his troops on a rapid march, a communications soldier suddenly stopped Zhang Xinghan's car.

Stood up and saluted: "Commander, Wafangdian is in an emergency." ”

Zhang Xinghan was slightly startled in his heart, and immediately got out of the car to take the message.

After reading it in a hurry, Zhang Xinghan quickly closed the telegram and said in a cold tone: "Immediately send a telegram to Gao Zhihang, and immediately assign the Second Flying Regiment to patrol the coastal waters within a radius of 100 kilometers with Wafangdian as the center, if you find the Japanese fleet, attack it immediately, and kill them as much as possible at all costs!" ”

"Yes!" The signal soldier immediately stepped forward, turned and hurried away.

"Commander. What's wrong, what's going on? ”

Guo Zhong asked confusedly when he got out of the car.

"The Japanese naval fleet suddenly launched a rapid artillery attack on our Wafangdian defense line, and Zhao Guoping and Uncle Wang sent a telegram to report the emergency." Zhang Xinghan said.

"This little devil is cunning enough, knowing that the main forces of our air force are used to deal with the Northeast Army, and sending a naval fleet at this time will really see a needle." Guo Zhong said: "Commander, it seems that we have to end the battle on the Jinzhou side as soon as possible and return to Yingkou as soon as possible." ”

"Hmm." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said, "Chuanling troops, accelerate forward and join the 4th Division." ”

"Yes!" Guo Zhong suddenly stepped forward to promise. Turn and leave.

……………………

In the waters off Pulandian, dozens of Japanese cruisers, destroyers, and gunboats' large-caliber naval guns were constantly firing.

The deafening sound of shelling rang out, and it was clearly audible for more than ten miles near the coast.

Some timid coastal villages have long been frightened and fled with their families.

Suddenly, several Chinese fighters flew in the sky from the direction of Wafangdian, and it didn't take long for a large number of Chinese fighters to come like dark clouds, covering the sky and the sun.

"Yaga, it's not good. Fighters of the Chinese people! "In some woods on the shore, the devil air defense early warning sentries who have been on guard and careful are shocked.

Hurriedly made an emergency radio notification to the busy Combined Fleet of the Navy.

Although the Devil's air defense sentries are dozens of kilometers away, this distance is a few minutes for a group of Zero fighters flying at high speed.

Just after the Japanese naval guns stopped shelling. While concentrating all the anti-aircraft fire to prepare for the air defense, it was time to start to break anchor and flee.

Liu Cuigang, deputy commander of the Northeast New Army Flying Division, personally led a mixed group of nearly 100 fighters and bombers of the 2nd Flying Regiment to arrive.

Dozens of Zero fighters immediately flew in groups of three, like tigers, towards more than a dozen warships of the devils.

"Da da da......" The devil's anti-aircraft cannon began to fire violently.

Liu Cuigang personally piloted a Zero fighter plane, and under the cover of the fire of the two wingmen, it rotated and tossed left and right. Avoid the dense anti-aircraft fire of the devils.

Several small aerial bombs were dropped, and when the aerial bombs landed on the warship, they exploded violently.

Several 40mm anti-aircraft guns on the top floor of the ship were shrouded in fire, and a group of air defense soldiers were blown to the deck below. He who dies cannot die again.

The two wingmen who followed up with their on-board machine guns and machine guns also fired at full fire, and the tongues of fire composed of several bullets and rain of bullets were very dazzling.

Everywhere he went, the armor of the devil warship hit by a dense rain of bullets and sparks flew everywhere.

The air defense personnel of the devils were shot one after another and fell to the ground.

The Zero fighter was followed by the HE111 bomber, which bombed at an altitude of 1,000 meters.

One after another, heavy bombs fell one after another with a piercing whistling sound, causing water to splash on the sea.

A light cruiser with a displacement of about 5,000 tons was hit by three bombs one after another, and after the violent explosion, the ship suddenly burst into flames.

The light cruiser, which was almost incapacitated, immediately became a concentrated target for the dive-bombing strafing of other Northeastern air forces.

Soon, the cruiser exploded in succession under the raindrops of bombardment, and the hull broke off from the middle and began to sink.

Flames and thick black smoke rose into the sky.

The devil's navy tried desperately to escape, and finally paid the tragic price of losing three cruisers, two destroyers, and more than a dozen gunboats with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons, only to escape because the bomber group of the Northeast New Army Air Force ran out of bombs.

As for the air force of the Northeast New Army, one bomber was lost and two fighters were wounded, but they had not lost their ability to fly and were barely able to return home.

At the same time that the artillery group of the Devil Ship was forced to stop shelling due to the arrival of the Northeast Air Force, the Japanese ground forces, which had been waiting for a long time, launched another fierce attack on Wafangdian.

Although the air force arrived in time to stop the continued shelling threat of the Devil's Navy on Wafangdian, the fierce shelling of the Devil's naval artillery group for more than an hour still caused considerable casualties to the defending troops of the 2nd and 3rd Divisions.

The fortifications were almost completely destroyed, and a fierce offensive and defensive battle broke out again. (To be continued......)
