It's a busy day.,The update time can sometimes be confused with ridiculous insanity.,I ask for your understanding.

[153] The Track of Death

After the 037 submarine hunter arrived, he cooperated with the landing craft on the rainy and misty sea to hang down the rope net on the side of the board, constantly searching and rescuing the Kuomintang sailors, and was also frightened by the tragic situation at the scene.

The Hongze, which was raided by Yuer, was smashed with a broken keel in the rear, twisted and turned on its side on the sea, and the rear of the warship that was completely sunk into the sea was connected to the warship by a little steel plate, and was dragging the front part into the sea together.

Li Yuxi and the others had never known where the enemy attack was coming from, and what the dazzling bright spot in the sky was, and it was only after the bombers of the Wujia torpedo bombers completely destroyed the Hongze in a proper manner that they realized that they had been attacked by torpedo planes for the army.

A flying torpedo.

Li Yuxi sat paralyzed on the rubber boat, and said with a pale face: "This torpedo can fly and swim, and our fleet is in danger." Ma Ji Zhuangshi misunderstood me! ”

The rest of the people on board also stopped paddling, apparently seeing our rescue boats coming. Most people have the desire to return to their hometowns, but they are also concerned about their relatives in Taiwan. Only a few high-ranking officers such as Li Yuxi and others were uneasy in their hearts, not knowing what fate they would face, and they were sad and laughed at the noble body of the deputy commander of their fleet.

Suddenly, the first mate Chen Biheng was stunned, he looked at the north blankly, and the others were also attracted by his gaze and looked in the direction he was looking at.

I saw that the large fleet of our army began to line up and pass by the edge of the battlefield, 9 consecutive 037 hunting submarines appeared in the rain and fog in a linear formation like the vanguard, and 10 024 missile speedboats followed the side of 037 one by one, and the double naval formation was extraordinary.

Li Yuxi exclaimed: "This is a new type of gunboat for the army!" It must have been aided by the Soviets. Look at this tonnage should be a fast anti-submarine gunboat. ”

The first mate, Chen Biheng, trembled as he counted these white ghosts that kept silently appearing from the rain and mist and slowly moving forward. The sea water in winter is cold, and everyone has been soaked in the sea before, coupled with the cold rain, it is really difficult to feel tight. At the beginning, there was adrenaline support, and I didn't feel cold under extreme fright, but now I was suppressed by the momentum of the PLA Fleet, and I lost half of my temper, and I immediately trembled all over my body, freezing to the bone marrow.

Deputy Captain Ha Daguang trembled and said, "What is that?" ”

He felt cold and tired at the moment, and he didn't have the strength to point with his hand, so he raised his chin into the distance.

The rest of the people also saw it, and immediately gasped.

The destroyer Xicaracal, with a standard displacement of 3,250 tons, appeared in front of everyone like a huge white ghost, followed by two frigates with a standard displacement of 1,425 tons, Naitong and Jiujiang. Three large, light ghosts glide silently over the water, like three gods traveling together without a trace of earthly fireworks.

Gun Commander Meng Bin stared at the cannon holes on the ship and didn't look at it badly, and said in a while: "Good ship...... Good cannon! ”

Li Yuxi said to herself: "It is indeed a good ship, it looks simple, but it is not simple, I can't distinguish any of the electric equipment on the mast of this ship, I don't know anything else on the deck except for the artillery, and even the artillery, I can't call it the ......."

The rubber boat fell into a deathly silence, and everyone was thinking about why this terrifying fleet of troops came here, and when they saw the almost endless formation of more than seventy landing craft slowly marching south, everyone's hearts were already bright: "Zhoushan is finished!" ”

Meng Bin, the commander of the Taikang, suddenly said: "Without air superiority, the navy will be sent to death when it goes out, what will Zhoushan fight?" Surrounded alive, starved and starved to death. ”

Li Yuxi understood that Meng Bin was telling the truth, and he spoke: "Brother used to be not thin on everyone, right? In fact, the brothers' previous military exploits were exaggerated, that ...... That one...... In short, everyone knows that brother, I really haven't killed many supply troops. In the past, I often felt that the sea was boring, brother, I just talked about it to relieve boredom...... How do you know that President Chiang is serious......"

Everyone was almost choked to death by what he said, and they all slandered: "You are really good at floating on the water with an iron mouth, and you have not become a prisoner before you start talking nonsense, wait until you become a prisoner, see what you say about this iron mouth." ”

The people on board were silent, but looked at the Grand Fleet from afar, and the trail of death left behind by the Grand Fleet.

……………………

The 22nd Army has already decided to attack Jihua, there is no suspense, this burden falls on the 65th Division, as a unit developed on the basis of the old Red Army company of the 115th Division, the 65th Division has always been ready to be the first to charge.

The division commander Chen Shifa has already made a military order with Sun Jixian, and is currently stationed at the Beilun Wharf in Ningbo with the whole army, where the 22nd Army will wait for the arrival of the North Sea Fleet.

Chen Shifa couldn't forget the scene of that day, countless landing ships kept approaching the dock, as if there was no end, all of them were landing ships with large iron hulls, not a single small wooden boat or sailboat. Thinking of the casualties that this big iron-hulled ship could reduce, Chen Shifa was moved to tears, and he remembered the scene when he recovered Liuheng Island, Peach Blossom Island, Shrimp Island and other surrounding islands before:

"The enemy's beachhead machine gun fortifications kept strafing, bullets rained down viciously, and many comrades were killed by machine guns before the ship could reach the shore...... Some of the wooden boats that rushed to the front, when they docked, only half of the more than 30 comrades on the boat survived, and they died in the next jump-off charge......"

The fighters of the 65 Division were extremely excited.

"Hey! Big Iron Ship! ”

"Hmmm! Big iron ship. ”

"That's great! Head! It's a big iron ship! ”

"Well, it's a big iron ship!"

……………………

According to the tasks assigned in advance, the various units under the 65th Division began to carry supplies to various ships under the command in an orderly manner. The logistics troops on the dock were constantly filling the ships with fuel to replenish the consumption of the landing ships as they headed south.

Beilun Wharf is only separated from Zhoushan Island by a Jintang waterway, the nearest distance is only 18 kilometers, according to the range of the landing craft, even the small Yuqing-class and Yunan-class landing craft can run more than 20 round-trips with a endurance distance of 1000 kilometers.

At this moment, the artillery units of the Seventh Corps and the Ninth Corps, which were the first to be reequipped in the country, were already in place.

The six artillery regiments under the six corps of the Seventh and Ninth Corps participating in the battle concentrated 144 130mm cannons from all 18 cannon batteries under their jurisdiction and assembled in six positions in Baifeng Town, on the east side of Ningbo's Beilun Wharf. The firing range of the 130mm cannon up to 27 kilometers covers almost the entire southeast of Zhoushan Island, especially for the main destination of this landing -- Zhoujiayuan on the north side of the Jintang waterway, it is even more comprehensive.

The North Sea Fleet began to blockade the entire sea area of the Zhoushan Islands at this moment, and all 037 and 024 were formed in two and two formations, and two of the ten formations were formed as a group, forming five squadrons. According to the order, all enemy ships in the sea area will attack as soon as they appear, 024 first slashes the hammer, and after smashing the stun, 037 goes up and stabs the knife. However, all the captains of 037 frowned when they heard this order. After watching the first battle of the Yangtze River estuary in 024, none of the captains of 037 expected that these silkworm rooms on their backs could leave them a bottom to lick.
