Chapter 567: Fierce Battle on the Sendai Coastline
In Sendai, hundreds of warships of the Imperial Chinese Navy gathered to destroy the rebellious Japanese army in Sendai City. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is the newly formed Pacific Fleet, most of the warships are captured by the British Imperial Royal Navy's main warships, and some of the main warships are from the United States, all of which are plundered from the major naval shipyards in the United States by the Chinese Imperial Navy, only the anti-submarine destroyers are built by the Chinese Imperial Navy itself, because the anti-submarine destroyers of the British and American Navy's performance are not enough, in order to protect the warships, the Chinese Imperial Navy still decided to use its own anti-submarine destroyers.
As for the main warships of the Pacific Fleet of the original Chinese Imperial Navy, they were still in England. Since the occupation of England and Corsica in France, Li Weijun and the main force of the Pacific Fleet have not left, because they have to defend against the High Seas Fleet of the Royal Navy of the German Empire, as well as the Mediterranean Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Kingdom of Italy, and even the Royal Navy of Austria-Hungary and the Black Sea Fleet of the Ottoman Turkish Empire are all enemies that the Imperial Chinese Navy will guard against.
Because the hundreds of warships of the captured British Royal Navy are very different from the current main warships of the Chinese Empire in terms of performance, structure, and even ammunition models and optical sighting systems, in order to ensure absolute overwhelming superiority over the German Imperial High Seas Fleet, and to ensure that the entire Allied bloc, especially the German-Italian-Austrian bloc, is deterred, and prevents them from uniting to stir up trouble, the War Department and the General Staff of the Chinese Imperial Navy decided to transport all the warships of the British Royal Navy back to the Chinese Empire and refit them in major shipyards. The replacement of the main guns and ammunition, the replacement of the radio system, and even the sonar system and optical sighting system were all replaced with the sophisticated equipment commonly used by the Imperial Chinese Navy, so that all the warships of the British Royal Navy were infused with the blood of the Chinese Empire.
However, because only the superstructure and related equipment were replaced, the hull structure, protection and power system could not be replaced (it required major repairs), so the performance was not as good as the warships in service with the Imperial Chinese Navy, so in order to ensure absolute superiority over the German Imperial High Seas Fleet, all the main warships of the Pacific Fleet had to be left in the Atlantic.
In this way, the naval power of the Imperial Chinese Navy in the Pacific Ocean became a vacuum, so the Admiralty deployed the modified British Royal Navy warships to the Pacific Ocean and reorganized them into the Pacific Fleet. The United States also has a large number of shipyards, and the command of the Chinese Imperial Occupation Forces does not need to spend money, so that American workers can use American resources to build warships for the Chinese Imperial Navy in American shipyards, and then also mobilize some of them to serve in the Pacific Fleet.
This is the establishment of the new Pacific Fleet, and since Li Weijun remains in the British Governor's European Theater of Operations for defense, the new commander of the Pacific Fleet will be replaced.
Personnel appointments of this level had to be personally nominated by Li Weiguo, the imperial emperor of the Chinese Empire, and submitted to the Senate and the House of Representatives for review, and finally Deng Shichang was appointed as the new commander of the Pacific Fleet by the Ministry of War.
Deng Shichang was able to be nominated by Li Weiguo, in addition to his ability, it also has something to do with Li Weiguo's respect for this person.
"On this day, the world is full of tears, and there is a strong navy!"
Whenever Li Weiguo thinks of this poem, he will think of the Sino-Japanese naval battle in history, Deng Shichang, and he will be even more ruthless to Japan.
As a result, even though history has changed a lot, Deng Shichang still won the favor of Li Weiguo and stood out from countless elites and became the commander of the Pacific Fleet.
"The commander arrives at the bridge!"
In the bridge of the flagship battleship Queen Elizabeth, with the shouting of the service guard, dozens of officers and men on duty on the bridge stood up and saluted the commander.
The new commander, Vice Admiral Deng Shichang, walked up to the bridge angrily, glanced around at everyone in the bridge, and then ascended to the commander's position.
Since his promotion to commander of the Pacific Fleet, Deng Shichang has been in charge of naval operations against Japan.
There is a providence in the dark, Deng Shichang will be inexplicably angry every time he sees the Japanese, and he has a feeling of being uncomfortable if he doesn't kill the Japanese devils.
This time, when he heard that the commander of the Japanese puppet army, General Lunma, had rebelled in Sendai, Deng Shichang instantly broke out in a small universe, and immediately led the main fleet to arrive in Sendai day and night, ready to teach the Japanese a hard lesson.
I only heard him say sharply: "All in place, ready for battle!" ”
"Yes! Ready for battle! ”
When the order was given, the main gun turrets of the battleship Queen Elizabeth turned one after another, and the muzzles of the black holes were raised high, eerie and terrifying. Other second-level rapid-fire guns and third-level machine guns also showed their fangs.
The flagship's action was an order, and hundreds of other warships also raised their shipboard guns at all levels, aiming at the Japanese coastal positions in Sendai across the sea.
Since the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy has long since been destroyed, there is no surface fleet off the coast of Japan except for some secret activities of Japanese submarines.
Therefore, when the anti-submarine destroyers of the Imperial Chinese Navy were reconnoitred, the ships of the Pacific Fleet could get close to the waters off the coast of Sendai only five kilometers (and then it would be shallow water), so not only the range of the guns of the main battleships at all levels could cover Sendai, but even cruisers, frigates, destroyers, and even gunboats could cover the Sendai coastline with firepower, so the guns of the ships of the navy that could participate in the battle were as high as more than 4,000.
More than 4,000 naval guns have not yet fired, and this number and formation alone have already frightened the Japanese troops stationed in Sendai.
"Ready for battle! The main guns of all levels are in place! ”
"The first main gun is in place! The second rapid-fire cannon is in place! Three-level close defense guns in place! ”
"Fire!"
Knock knock!
The main guns of the battleship Queen Elizabeth were the first to fire, and the muzzles of the 12 406-mm guns erupted fireworks more than 100 meters long.
A whistling sound, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.
As the battleship Queen Elizabeth took the lead in firing, hundreds of other warships of the Pacific Fleet and nearly 1,000 main guns also opened fire, spewing out smoke and fireworks.
Seven or eight seconds later, nearly a thousand shells fell on the Japanese coastal positions in Sendai.
Bang bang!
Bang bang!
Thousands of shells of various calibers exploded, and in an instant, a sea of fire was created, and black-red mushroom clouds rose into the sky, reaching a height of thousands of meters.
The blast wave spread in all directions, shattering boulders and gathering dust, like a fifteenth-level sandstorm suddenly arrived, swallowing up the entire Sendai coastline and obscuring the sky and sun.
The firepower of the Imperial Chinese Army has always been known for its ferocity, and any army in the world will feel fear from the bottom of its heart and feel powerless to resist when it sees the powerful and ferocious firepower of the Imperial Chinese Army.
The sea breeze violently blew away the gunsmoke, and the coastline, which was originally full of green, instantly turned into a charred black after the eruption.
The trees snapped and burned into charcoal, and the rocks seemed to be run over by a crusher, turning into charred black crumbles.
The helmets and rifles of the Japanese soldiers were scattered on the ground, along with the corpses of the broken arms.
In the rear, General Lunma, the commander of the Japanese army, who was watching the battle from the telescope, couldn't help but get a breath of cool air and shivered all over.
"Fortunately, General Ben is wise, only a small number of soldiers are deployed on the coastal position, and more are tunnel guns and machine gun bunkers, otherwise this round of artillery bombardment, even if there are 100,000 people, it will not be enough to fill the gaps!"
Lenma smiled with a reluctant, very satisfied with her decision.
After the main guns of the ships of the Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy had finished firing, the second rapid-fire guns opened fire.
The second stage rapid-fire guns, mostly under 155 mm, were the supplementary firepower of the main guns.
Compared to the main gun, the second stage rapid-fire gun has the biggest advantage in continuous fire.
I saw the continuous expansion and contraction of the barrels of the second-stage rapid-fire guns "Dong Dong Dong", and the shells were continuously discharged as if they did not need money, and fell into the Japanese coastal positions.
The shells of the second level gun are much less powerful than the first level gun, but they are more dense.
Anyone with a dense phobia saw thousands of shells explode in a concentrated manner, and the cliff instantly went into cardiac arrest and was scared to death.
"Beach-grabbing landing!"
The Marine Corps under the jurisdiction of the Pacific Fleet immediately took on more than 1,000 landing craft and densely occupied an area of several hundred square nautical miles.
The landing craft rode the wind and waves, and the soldiers of the Chinese Imperial Army on it had solemn expressions and automatic rifles in their hands, ready to land and fight at any time.
"Report, the Japanese army has no signs of counterattack, and it seems that it has been wiped out by our army's powerful naval artillery fire!"
"Don't be careless! The Japanese army is not as stupid as the British and American devils! The Japanese began to look at the culture and art of war of our Celestial Empire since the Han and Tang dynasties, and their cunning is worthy of our vigilance! ”
On the bridge, the staff officers discussed a lot and expressed their opinions.
Deng Shichang was also very satisfied with the effect of the fleet's artillery strikes, but he also knew that the Japanese were not stupid and could not honestly wait for the shells.
"Look! The striker has landed! ”
"At the front is the third battalion of sharp knives, sure enough, the elite of the elite of the marines, this impact speed is really admirable!"
"The Japanese still have no intention of fighting back!"
"No matter how heavy the artillery fire is, there will be a few gasps left! Why didn't the Japanese army react at all! It's a bit of an anomaly! ”
"When things go wrong, there must be demons! Order the forward troops to act carefully! Spread out as much as possible, don't be picked up by the Japanese army! ”
Deng Shichang is good at listening to opinions, and the various guesses and inferences of a group of bridge staff officers can provide him with tactical references.
The telephone line was also pulled from the fleet to the beachhead in a timely manner along with the landing force, so that the fleet commander could get in touch with the Marine Corps commander on the ground in a timely manner, so as to realize coordinated naval and land operations.
The forward troops received the order to disperse in time, and at this time, the Japanese anti-aircraft guns hidden in the tunnels, as well as the heavy machine guns in the bunkers, stretched out from under the stones and dry grass holes in various ruins, aiming at the soldiers of the Chinese Imperial Army who had landed.
Bang bang bang!
The Japanese anti-aircraft artillery suddenly opened fire, and their positions were planted on the left and right flanks, just like a pair of pincers of crabs, attacking the advancing Chinese Imperial Army soldiers from the side.
Flank attacks can generally cause a large number of casualties among the opponent's soldiers, but fortunately, the forward troops of the Chinese Imperial Army dispersed in time and remained wary of the Japanese army, and only suffered minor casualties.
"Lie down!"
"Watch out for enemies on both wings!"
"Two o'clock! Three hidden cannons! ”
"At ten o'clock, there are two machine gun bunkers!"
"At eleven o'clock, there are two machine gun bunkers!"
……
The Imperial Chinese Army, which served as the vanguard, was divided into hundreds of squad-platoon combat groups, and adopted a creeping approach to the Japanese firepower point.
"Watch out for radium!"
A soldier of the Imperial Chinese Army rolled to the mouth of a Japanese heavy machine gun bunker, threw a hand radium into it, and then jumped away.
There was a muffled bang, and the muzzle of the Japanese machine gun spewed out a cloud of black soil.
Immediately afterwards, two more soldiers of the Imperial Chinese Army rushed up, adjusted the automatic rifle in their hands to burst into burst mode, and violently burst two shuttle bullets into the hole.
"Jump!"
With an explosion, two soldiers of the Chinese Imperial Army were blown away and fell to the ground with serious injuries.
"Medic! Stretcher! ”
The squad leader roared, and a medical soldier rushed forward to treat the wounds of the two comrades in a simple and effective manner, and then the other four soldiers carried them away on stretchers.
"!"
The squad leader turned his head to look at the flank, and there was smoke in a dark pit five hundred meters away, which was a hidden artillery position of the Japanese army.
"Mortar! Kill him! ”
The two warriors received the order and quickly loaded Zhu Yuan.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three shots were fired in bursts, the first corrected the target, the second approached the target, and the third hit directly, and the head of a Japanese soldier was blown out.
At this time, the sound of machine guns suddenly sounded in the rear, and the squad leader looked back, and at some point, a Japanese machine gun bunker appeared in the place just now, and a shuttle of bullets swept over, and a soldier was shot in the leg.
"Nima!"
The squad leader roared angrily and suddenly became anxious.
"Pyro! Burn him! ”
"Fire cover!"
The flamethrower said, "Pull it down!" Without your firepower, I'm going to be easily blown up by bullets while carrying this thing! ”
As he spoke, the Pyro jumped up, and when he took the S route to approach the Japanese machine gun bunker for a distance of more than ten meters, a flame erupted, directly sealing the sight of the Japanese machine gunner, and the Pyro took the opportunity to rush up, and several flames sprayed into the bunker one after another, and the three Japanese soldiers crawled out screaming, burning with flames all over their bodies, and they were burned into deformities in the blink of an eye.
Despite the intrigues of the Japanese army, the coastal defense line was quickly breached under the brave and decisive assault offensive of the Chinese Imperial Shence Army.
The Chinese Imperial Army entered the Japanese trench position along the gap and quickly fought to the death with the Japanese army. The Japanese army did not have automatic weapons, and when it came into close contact with the Chinese Imperial Army, they quickly lost to the opponent's pistols and automatic rifles.
The two sides fought fiercely for two hours, and the Japanese Sendai coastal defense line was lost.
Sendai is a coastal city, and once the coastline is lost, it will be difficult for the city to hold.
"Bastard!"
Lunma scolded angrily, reluctantly changed the plan, and ordered the two divisions to stay in Sendai, deliberately delaying the reinforcements of the Chinese Empire, while he himself led the army to withdraw from Sendai and go to Zao Mountain, intending to eat the 16th town of the Chinese Empire's Shence Army in Zao Mountain as quickly as possible.
Originally, Lunma was afraid of the combat effectiveness of the Sixteenth Town and planned to trap the other party, but with the loss of the Sendai coastal defense line, he knew that there was not much time left for him, so he could only attack Zao Mountain. (To be continued.) )
