Chapter Twenty-Six: The Fall of Yingkou

At five o'clock in the morning, Yingkou City, the sky was gray, as if the end of the world was coming.

Most of the citizens of the city who had fled their homes because of the fighting had now returned.

Returned to the home on which they depended, without him, because the army of the Chinese, or the northeasterners' own children, returned.

Yingkou City is no longer a city of death that survives under the iron hooves of the city, it has returned to the embrace of the motherland like the nearly 200,000 people in the city.

The Chinese are hardworking, and at five o'clock in the morning, although it is not yet dawn, some fishermen have already gotten up early to prepare for a new day's work.

Although in the past, the sea was full of warships that said that they could be sunk as targets if they were not good at all, but life has to go on, right?

Fishermen rely on fishing for a living, and if they don't go into the water, their families can freeze and starve to death.

However, now, the new army in the northeast has come over, and it has shot its own army, and even the ship that used to cruise on the sea to show off its might has disappeared.

Bohai Bay, which is rich in fish, is finally ready for fishermen to cast their nets as they please.

But is that really the case? If a country does not have a navy, is its coastal defense really safe?

Li Quanqiang is a well-known fish boss in Yingkou City, and he has several fishing boats that are not too small.

was exploited by those Han annihilation lackeys again, and there was not much left.

However, now that it's okay, I have been beaten away, and Li Quanqiang, the good name of the fish boss, is coming.

At least that's what he and his employees think.

Today, Li Quanqiang said goodbye to his wife and children, and personally launched three ships with him.

Although Dalian has not yet been defeated, it is not a matter of time before the brave and invincible Northeast New Army is invincible?

Ordinary people think so, not to mention the Northeast New Army, which has always been sure to win every battle.

Since the Battle of Tongliao, they have attacked North Manchuria and gone south to South Manchuria, and they have written legends in the history of modern warfare with brilliant achievements, which belong to them.

Zhang Xinghan may be able to control himself from being arrogant or discouraged by victory, but he can't make hundreds of thousands of subordinates be like him.

Especially the hundreds of thousands of them who are boiling with blood, and no one is not proud of the victory they have achieved and feels their blood boiling.

He said that he was about to end, and the entire Northeast and the entire Liaodong Peninsula were about to be recovered.

The minds of all the officers and soldiers and generals of the Northeast New Army are filled with this kind of thought.

The main forces rushed to Dalian, and Yingkou Wang Yizhe only left less than one regiment of troops, to be precise, two battalions.

An army of less than 2,000 people defended a city with a population of 200,000, and the density of troops can be imagined.

Since this is already a large rear area, the vigilance of the officers and men is much worse.

They were short of troops, and there were no troops deployed outside the city, and occasionally some alert troops numbered no more than a few infantry squads.

All along, under the command of Zhang Xinghan, the Northeast New Army has been crushing and slaughtering the Yue army like a tank with its absolute air firepower, ground assault force, and superiority in technical weapons and individual firepower.

The army has been defeated repeatedly, and it is already a weak division, and it is vulnerable to a single blow.

In fact, the first three commanders of the Kwantung Army did not have a good tactical command ability and strategic vision, and the Northeast Army was more than enough to bully and bully worse than them.

But when they encountered Zhang Xinghan, a time-traveler with knowledge that was ahead of nearly a century, they could only hit their heads and bleed.

The opponent has a few catties and a few taels, and Zhang Xinghan already knows that if there is no No. 1 person like Okamura Ningji.

The Northeast New Army attacked step by step, took Dalian, and broke through the Lushun fortress seemed to be a logical thing.

But war is always unpredictable.

Zhang Xinghan is a man, not a god, and even if he is a good commander, he will only find a way to solve a danger or problem when it arises.

Instead of being strong enough to predict what the enemy will do next, unpredictable prophet, that is only available to Zhuge Liang.

In fact, Zhuge Liang can't predict the prophet, otherwise he wouldn't be tired like a dog and the land would have made more than a dozen northern expeditions to the Central Plains.

I have to say that Okamura Ninji, an old devil, is very shrewd and cunning, and several hours of darkness provided an excellent cover for their landing.

So that they could not be detected by the reconnaissance planes of the Northeast New Army Air Force and easily approach Yingkou.

Li Quanqiang and his three fishing boats were operating not long after they were launched.

Today's Bohai Bay can be said to be full of treasures, and if you go down the net, you will almost never return empty-handed.

Just when their emotions are high and they are full of energy.

Suddenly, black spots appeared on the sea level, but at first they did not notice them because the sky was not yet fully bright.

And as the sun slowly rises from the horizon, one of the helmsmen finally notices the anomaly.

All the fishermen were alarmed, Li Quanqiang came to the bow of the boat in a panic, looked ahead, and saw a scene that shocked him extremely much.

Many of the behemoths of steel that had come from his small fishing boat were speeding towards them.

Frightened, Li Quanqiang and his employees didn't even bother to count how many warships there were.

They were all in a panic, for there were already countless small boats full of people speeding towards them in front of the big ships.

"Boss, what are we going to do? It's fucking me! ”

"Yes, boss, let's run, it's my naval fleet!" Several employees who were on the same boat as Li Quanqiang said in a panic.

Li Quanqiang came back to his senses and hurriedly urged: "Quick, turn around, hurry up!" ”

However, as soon as the fishing boats completed their U-turn, a group of landing craft of the Japanese army caught up with them.

"Dada...... Da da da ......" a dense stream of bullets swept in.

The three fishing boats including Li Quanqiang ...... hit "bang bang", and some sailors were hit by bullets that penetrated the cabin and fell in pools of blood.

They were unable to escape the pursuit of the sailing ships, and soon the sailors on all three ships were slaughtered by the dense rapid-fire fire.

Li Quanqiang jumped into the sea at the last moment to escape, and his fate can be imagined, he was shot in the head by a rifleman and died in the sea.

When he died, he didn't understand why he dared to come again?

Haven't they already been defeated by the Northeast New Army?

Hundreds of small boats carrying the first batch of thousands of soldiers sped away at the edge of the camp port.

Dozens of large warships of the Chinese army adjusted their gun ports one after another, and hundreds of naval guns of various calibres of no less than 200 mm began to shell Yingkou.

The roaring sound of artillery on the sea surface was endless, and one after another large-caliber shells flew away in the air in a parabolic shape under the wrapping of flames towards Yingkou City, which had just bid farewell to the night and ushered in the dawn.

At the south gate of Yingkou City, a group of Northeast New Army had just completed the change of guard, and some soldiers were still yawning and sleepy-eyed.

Suddenly there was a shrill whistling sound in the sky, and the soldiers looked up in surprise to see what had terrified them.

"Lie down!!" A second lieutenant platoon commander had frightened eyes in his eyes, shouted loudly at the top of his throat, and hurriedly threw himself under the battlement wall.

"Boom...... Rumble...... Boom ......" almost before his voice fell, a large caliber shell fell fiercely.

Some fell outside the city, some inside the city, and some shells fell directly on the city.

The soldiers at the head of the city suddenly felt like the mountains were shaking, as if the entire city wall was about to collapse.

The raging heat wave formed by the huge blast blast roared by, and some soldiers who couldn't dodge were directly lifted into the air, screaming and falling to the bottom of the city.

Some soldiers who were too close to the explosion point were directly engulfed by the explosion, and their bones were gone.

A heavy artillery shell with a caliber of no less than 240 mm fell on the head of the city, directly blowing down a section of the city wall, and the bricks, stones, and earth debris flew horizontally, and the dazzling fire rose into the sky.

More than a dozen Northeast New Army troops on that section of the city wall instantly disappeared.

Soon, a shrill alarm sounded in the city, and a large number of Northeast New Army panicked and busy.

The defenders immediately hurriedly reported the situation to the general headquarters in Haicheng.

At this time, on the coast, thousands of Japanese troops had landed one after another, rushing towards Yingkou City, which was being covered by their artillery fire.

After the first round of test firing, the devil's shelling became more and more accurate, and all the shells began to pour into Yingkou City.

Most of the city was turned into a sea of fire, and countless people were slaughtered by the explosions.

The entire Yingkou City was plunged into extreme chaos, the head of the city could not stay at all, and all the new troops in the Northeast who went up were killed and injured by the fierce naval artillery fire of the Yue Army.

Thousands of infantry of the Yue Army, armed with rifles and machine guns, arrived at Yingkou City as quickly as possible, and did not rush to attack the city, but divided their troops to surround Yingkou City in a roundabout way.

After the naval artillery group had completed the 40-minute heavy shelling, the second batch of landing troops had already joined the first batch of troops, and the third and fourth groups were still landing.

Nearly 10,000 troops launched a fierce attack on Yingkou City, which was already in chaos and suffered heavy casualties.

Less than 2,000 defenders had already been killed and wounded, and the disparity in strength was too great, and the result of such a fierce battle was known without even thinking about it.

…………………… Haicheng, Zhang Xinghan put the message in his hand on the table with a solemn face.

The telegram was sent by the defenders of Yingkou at the end, and the two infantry battalions of the 2nd and 1st Divisions of the 2nd and 1st Divisions left behind in Yingkou were all killed, and none of them surrendered.

Guo Zhong, the commander of the guard battalion behind him, said with a sad face: "Commander, I just got the news that after the devil entered the city, he launched a massacre to exterminate people's surnames, and hundreds of thousands of people in Yingkou were slaughtered!" ”

Zhang Xinghan clenched his fists, the green tendons on his hands were violent, and he smashed his fist on the conference table: "This group of brutes! ”

"Commander, after the devil slaughtered the city, he has cut off the connection between my attacking troops and Haicheng, what should we do next?" Guo Zhong asked.

"The telegram ordered the chief of staff, the 10th and 9th divisions of Reading Power immediately went south to Haicheng, and the 4th Division of Jinzhou Reading Force immediately prepared for war, in addition, the telegram ordered the Air Force to immediately take off all fighters, and bomb Yingkou City fiercely for me, and blow up these brutes raised by bitches!"
