Chapter 92: October Dynasty 3

The Japanese 4th Fleet's short journey ended at Hangzhou Bay, and as the 5th Mine Squadron's flagship Yubari turned to the right in front of the left, the entire fleet turned right with the Yubari turning point in the faint starlight. It is rare www.biquge.info be able to make the movements of the entire fleet, and even the transport fleet, uniform in the dark night.

In the captain's room of the Ashigara, Vice Admiral Toyoda only looked at the clock on the wall - every step of the landing was strictly timed, but the entire fleet had to make a detour to the east because of an American destroyer sailing out of Wusong Pass and deviating from the course. Time is delayed, but confidentiality is paramount.

At this time, the army staff officers and officers were changing the map -- the army had previously announced that it was going to land in Qingdao, and it was a map of the Qingdao area, and until now, the officers have been told that the place of the landing is Hangzhou Bay. On the Kasuga Maru of the transport ship regiment, as soon as Major General Noboru Kunisaki, the commander of the 9th Brigade, announced that the landing was in Hangzhou Bay instead of Jiaozhou Bay, the captains and squadron leaders of the first cadre all looked at each other, and they had previously received the news that the imperial expatriates in Qingdao were being slaughtered by the Chinese people, so everyone was gearing up to go to Qingdao to 'punish the tyrannical branches', and they did not know that they were going to occupy Nanjing.

"Gentlemen: The fierce battle in Shanghai has not ended for three months, and there are imperial soldiers breaking jade every day. At present, we can only rely on our Liuchuan Army to annihilate the main force of the China Army, end the war in Shanghai, and punish the brutal China people. As soon as Noboru Kunizaki opened his mouth, he gave his subordinates a heavy responsibility, which made his subordinates, who were a little surprised before, immediately bow down solemnly. There is not enough time to prepare, and landing on an unfamiliar coast is difficult, but the great deeds of the monarchs today will be remembered by the people, and the spirit of the loyal and brave soldiers will be listed in the shrine and worshiped by the emperor for generations! I wish that when the sun is rising, it will also be the time when the flag of the Honor United will fly at the head of the Acropolis of Jinshan. ”

At this point, Noboru Kunisaki bowed deeply in the direction of Japan, and then to his subordinates. At this time, the flag of the 41st Wing had been raised, and Noboru Kunisaki said: "I would like to say goodbye here!" ”

Transport ship after transport ship was mobilized, and at 2:40 p.m., the convoy arrived at the predetermined anchorage in the tide and dropped anchor. At this time, the sea is covered with fog, and although the tide is high, the sea is calm.

"God bless the Imperial Kingdom!" Yura's captain Tominari Ichiro Osaku thought of the auspicious omen of the morning and couldn't help muttering. At this time, the Yura and the entire 8th Sentai were on guard on the perimeter of the regiment, and the fleet was lined up in order to shell the positions of the defenders of Shina at any time after dawn, while the destroyers of the mine squadron patrolled between the regiment and the four-kilometer sea area off the coast.

Although most of the Shina fleet was sunk, there was still a team of torpedo boats at the Electric Mine School, and it was these torpedo boats that fired torpedoes during the last landing in Ogawasha, causing great casualties to the landing force. On this Jinshanwei landing, the navy not only paid close attention to the movement of the Torpedo Boat Squadron in China, but also arranged a guard for the landing; once the Torpedo Boat appeared in China, the destroyers on the shore could immediately sink the torpedo boats, and even if they could not sink them, they could overturn those small boats that were only a dozen or several dozen tons long.

"Quick! Fast! "As soon as the transport ship dropped anchor, the boat moved to begin. After the Daihatsu boat was lowered, the soldiers with weapons and ammunition on their shoulders climbed off the transport boat along the cable net and climbed onto the Daihatsu boat that drifted with the waves. The 41st Wing was indeed well-trained, and it took only 23 minutes for the entire 2,000-strong Wing to complete the transfer. But when he was about to set off, several black shadows came down from the ship, because in the high place, the soldiers below could see the silhouette of the comer, as if it was the brigade commander, Major General Kunisaki......

Your Excellency, the Brigade Commander, went ashore with yourself! The soldiers were so excited that everyone grabbed their rifles in their hands. Soon, at 5:25 p.m., under the personal command of Noboru Kunisaki, more than 40 Daihatsu boats started diesel engines and drove to the coast under the protection of armed boats. The roar of high-speed diesel engines resounded throughout the sea, but fortunately, the sea surface was foggy, and the sound of diesel engines was mostly muffled by waves.

Taking the lead, Noboru Kunisaki's Daihatsu boat numbered D5535 was the first to land. At this moment, the berth of the boat group is only four kilometers from the coast, and the big hair boat sailed slowly for more than 30 minutes before stopping, and the bottom of the boat has already touched the sand, and it can no longer be driven, and the rest can only wade land. As the stilts at the front of the Daihatsu boat were lowered, one after another the soldiers jumped into the sea more than half a meter deep, and it was only then that Kunisaki Noboru found that the water was extremely cold.

"Did you hear anything?" At the highest point of Dajinshan Island, Major Ye Keyu stood beside the soldier wearing a German air defense flower and looked a little impatient, more than an hour ago, he said that he heard the sound of anchor chains, but now there is no sound. Although it was almost dawn, the sea was so foggy that I couldn't see anything.

"Report sir, I didn't hear that!" Wearing a black air defense flower is Wang Zhaode, a Marine Corps soldier, who was picked out because of his ears, and he doesn't want to do anything now.

"Did you hear that here?" Ye Keyu walked to the other side of the stone chamber and asked another soldier wearing big air defense ears.

"Report sir, I didn't hear it either!" This is Private Chen Kaiyan, who was transferred from the fleet.

"Why can't you hear it? Isn't the devil coming today? Major Ye Keyu touched his chin and walked in the stone room, and after taking a few steps, the military phone level squeaked, this is a call from the command to inquire about the situation.

"Report to the chief, the fog on the sea is very heavy, we don't have ...... for the time being" Ye Keyu didn't finish speaking, Wang Zhaode said urgently, "I heard it, I heard it, it's a boat!" It's the sound of the ship's engine! Sir......"

Wang Zhaode didn't say that it was okay, Ye Keyu, who answered the phone at this time, also heard the roar of the engine, but this was by no means a naval ship, this was a Japanese army landing motorboat.

"Report to the headquarters: the Japanese landing steamboat ......" Ye Keyu was reporting, Wang Zhaode rushed to him and whispered a few words, he continued: "The direction of the landing motorboat is northwest, and it is likely that the Japanese landing fleet has anchored and is located in the northwest direction of me." ...... right" Wang Zhaode whispered again, and he hesitated for a moment before saying: "A Japanese landing motorboat is coming towards me, and it is heading towards me. ”

"You must hide it!" On the other end of the phone, it was no longer the chief of staff who was answering the phone, it was the commander Chen Jiliang who was speaking.

"Jin Shan understands! Jinshan understands! Ye Keyu replied, waiting for the phone to be disconnected, and then hung up the phone. Close all the observation holes, and notify the four torpedo stations to tell them that the Japanese are going to land on the island, and they must hide them! ”

Ye Keyu held his breath here, on the other end of the telephone line. Chen Jiliang thoughtfully put down the phone in the expectation of General Zhang Fakui, commander-in-chief of the Right Route Army, and said with a sigh of relief: "The Japanese are here!" ”

"Coming? Good! That's great!! "Zhang Fakui is a veteran of the Northern Expedition, and this time he is sitting on the right wing, and there is also some meaning that Feng Yuxiang was appointed as the commander of the Third War Zone. Unlike Feng Yuxiang, Feng Yuxiang only ate a stomach of ashes when he came to inspect the battlefield, but he really wanted to win a big battle.

"When is the fight starting?" Huang Qixiang asked a little anxiously, he was still worried that there were too many Japanese soldiers ashore and he couldn't eat them.

"Now the sea is full of fog, and if you want to fight, you have to wait until the sun comes out and the fog clears." Seeing that everyone was worried, Chen Jiliang said again: "The Japanese will not start fighting until the fog clears. Their heavy weapons could not be used for the time being, so they could only be supported by naval guns. Unfortunately, we can't see where the whole fleet is now. ”

After answering Huang Qixiang, Chen Jiliang ordered to his staff officer Dai Xijing, "Immediately notify the front line and tell them that the Japanese are coming, don't go off!" ”

Chen Jiliang was notifying the navy, and after he finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Fakui again, and Zhang Fakui also said to his staff officer: "Notify the front line immediately, just say that the Japanese are coming, let them in and fight again." ”

"Yes! Be! Under the banner of the blue sky and white sun in the ancestral hall, the excited staff officers agreed with joy, and soon, the commander's order was transmitted to the front line.

"Junzuo, do you want to notify Nanjing?" Seeing that the things on the front line were arranged, Deputy Commander Huang Qixiang suddenly interjected. It was already six o'clock at the moment, and the chairman of the committee had already gotten up. Before Huang Qixiang finished speaking, the black military telephone in the middle of the table rang. Zhang Fakui looked at the table clock on the wall, and when he saw that it was exactly six o'clock, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Let's ask Commander Zhang to report the enemy situation to the chairman!" Chen Jiliang smiled.

Chen Jiliang's courtesy made Zhang Fakui smile again, he exhaled before picking up the phone, and before the phone reached his ear, a voice shouted loudly on the microphone: "I am the chairman......

"Chairman of the report committee: The lowly position is Zhang Fakui." Zhang Fakui's hand holding the microphone changed his posture slightly, and he said again: "Now that the vanguard of the Japanese army has landed, the reconnaissance post on Jinshan Island of our army heard that the Japanese were on the motorboat, but it was just ......."

Zhang Fakui was about to explain the situation completely, but he didn't want to be interrupted by the other end of the phone, and after half a ring, he put down the phone and looked at Chen Jiliang, and said with relief: "The chairman told you to listen to the phone." ”

The phone weighing more than 1,000 catties was stuffed from Zhang Fakui's hand to Chen Jiliang's hand, and at this time, several other telephones in the command headquarters were ringing, and the sound was very noisy, and Chen Jiliang took a lot of effort to hear that Chang Kaishen wanted him to fire immediately.

"Report to the chairman, the sea is full of fog, and now you can't open artillery, you can't fire it now!" Chen Jiliang said loudly, but his eyes were on Dai Xijingβ€”he had just received a report that near Haiyue Nunnery, the defenders had exchanged fire with the Japanese army. According to the plan, this is to order Zeng Guosheng's side to immediately cut off the power of the mines, and once the power is cut off, all the mines will be in a state of readiness.

Here you have to listen to Chang Kaishen's phone call, and here you are about to issue a military order, but fortunately, Dai Xijing understood what to do at this time, and he wrote four big words on the paper: 'Activate mines? Chen Jiliang nodded vigorously after looking at it, and this was not delayed.

Not long after Dai Xijing went out, the phone in Chen Jiliang's hand hung up. Zhang Fakui looked at him and said, "What instructions does the chairman have?" ”

Chang Kaishen was worried on the phone, this and that, Chen Jiliang didn't know what he was going to say, the only thing he could judge was that the chairman of the committee was very conflicted now, he said that the cannon was probably to drive the Japanese away. However, as soon as this idea appeared, Chen Jiliang denied it, and the chairman of the committee must have deeper considerations, and it is enough for him to know that the chairman is always right.

After Chang Kaishen's phone hung up, the Yao family ancestral hall of the headquarters finally returned to a happy atmosphere. Everyone knew that the Japanese had fallen into the net that they had painstakingly arranged, and they were not worried that they would run away.

The headquarters was like this, and on the front line of the Sea Moon Temple, the sky was already bright, the sea breeze was blowing, and the dense fleet of ships on the shore could be faintly seen on the sea: cruisers in the distance, transport ships clustered up close, and destroyers like hills in the distance. And those big hair boats loaded with soldiers to land are like turtles, swimming around the surface of the sea, carrying batch after batch of invading troops.

The first exchange of fire was between the 1st Battalion of the 367th Regiment of the 62nd Division and the 2nd Squadron of the 1st Brigade of the 41st Wing. With the sound of his gun, the whole trench was firing, and the heavy machine guns of the battalion and the mortars of the regiment in the rear also opened fire, but the shells were so bad that several of them fell and did not explode.

As soon as Rong Zexu fired, the Japanese troops immediately fell to the ground looking for cover, and this shot did not kill many of them. After falling to the ground and prostrate for a while, seeing that the firepower of the Chinese army was no more than that, the Japanese immediately counterattacked under the organization of Jun Cao and the lieutenant, and the first to deal with it were heavy machine guns and mortars, in addition to the grenadiers firing shells, the 127mm main guns of the destroyers on the sea were also aimed at the heavy fire points of the defenders on the shore.

"Withdraw!" Rong Zexu saw that a 30-section heavy machine gun was flying up by the ship's gun, and immediately grabbed his military hat and ordered a retreat. However, he said that he did not take the lead in retreating, but kicked the soldiers who were shooting next to him. The guns roared and bullets flew everywhere, but fortunately, the three trenches were connected to each other, and after a while, the entire company was completely evacuated.

The defenders retreated, and the Japanese troops on the opposite side were still firing their guns, and only when someone noticed that something was wrong did the gunfire stop.

"Report, the Chinese army has retreated!" The soldiers who had gone to reconnoiter ran back to report.

"The Shina army has retreated!" The news was finally reported to Kunisaki Deng, which was good news, he thought that since the Shina defenders had entered the position, they would rely on the trenches to resist stubbornly, and he didn't want these Shina soldiers to flee after firing a few shots.

"Yo Xi!" Major General Kunisaki Noboru helped the command knife hanging from his waist and nodded deeply, "Our army went down to the fierce tiger in the mountain, and the people of China fled when they heard the sound." Immediately sweep the entire villages in the landing area and welcome the second group of soldiers to the land. And ......" Kunizaki Noboru looked at the military flag that had not yet had time to open, and commanded in the face of the heroic light: "Let the military flag fly!" ”
