Chapter 854: Sneak Attack on the Military Port
At one o'clock in the morning, most of the lighting in the Qingdao military port was turned off, and it was almost completely covered by night. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The fleet, which was parked more than ten nautical miles away, moved.
It took nearly an hour to quietly touch the sea less than two nautical miles away from the military port wharf.
Subsequently, ten offshore gunboats, which were dragged behind the capital ships, were lowered.
The most elite guard battalion of the guard division boarded these ten gunboats respectively.
"The naval guns on the major ships are all facing the military port. In the event of an accident involving a sneak attack unit, the naval guns will immediately open fire to cover the sneak attack force to occupy the military port! Chen Jiliang ordered with a serious face.
More than 20 naval guns of various sizes on the three ships quickly pointed their guns at the Qingdao Military Port in case of emergency.
Ten gunboats at the ready, at this time also set off.
In order to achieve the purpose of the sneak attack, all the gunboats turned on the motor to a minimum, and kept it as quiet as possible to the dock.
When I felt that there were still two hundred meters away from the pier, the sound of the wind and waves on the sea could no longer hide the sound of the motor. Ten gunboats quickly brought the motors to the maximum, and the ten slow-moving gunboats, as if they had been pushed hard by a powerful force, rushed towards the dock as fast as they could.
In the blink of an eye, the gunboats, which rushed to the pier from several directions, ran forty or fifty meters.
"It's the sound of a motor, and there's a motor on the sea! Searchlight, shine right over! After the few sentinels in the military port were awakened, they shouted loudly in shock!
More than a dozen searchlights shot at the surface of the sea at the same time, and the ten gunboats that were rushing to the dock were all exposed to the sentry's field of vision at once.
"Bang bang bang...... Woo woo woo ......" Several sentries with dumbfounded faces subconsciously fired warning shots, and then sounded the dock siren.
As soon as the shots rang out on the pier, the officers and men on the gunboat knew that they were exposed, and the heavy machine guns mounted on the deck immediately opened fire on the searchlights and the places where the guns were fired.
Of course, the gunboat did not slow down and continued to rush to the pier at a very fast speed.
Dozens of heavy machine guns were fired together, and the condescending sentry did not even have a chance to react, and was directly used as a target to be beaten into a hornet's nest.
Although at this time, there were already young military garrisons rushing out of the barracks with nervousness, but because the Wehrmacht had left them too little time to prepare, and many of these people who rushed out were empty-handed artillery and heavy machine gunners, they could only counterattack by rushing to the position.
The Wehrmacht on the gunboats did not hesitate at all, and directly covered them with raindrops of bullets.
A few gunboats that rushed to the front had already docked at this time.
The soldiers of the guard battalion carried by the gunboat, with rifles and light machine guns, jumped off the dock at a very fast speed.
The heavy machine guns mounted on the deck, while providing fire cover, also divided several machine guns to strafe at the gate of the garrison barracks to prevent the military port garrison from leaving the barracks.
At this time, the guard battalion that had boarded the dock had already exceeded a company, and the commander of the guard battalion did not say a word, and directly ordered the troops to kill the garrison barracks.
"A platoon blocked the gate of the barracks, blew it up with grenades, blew back all the Beiyang troops blocking the door, and then blocked the exit with machine guns!" The guard battalion commander watched the barracks continue to be rushed out of the barracks by the Beiyang Army using the fire fired by heavy machine guns, and the guard battalion commander resolutely ordered.
Because of the ship's heavy machine guns to provide fire cover, a platoon easily rushed to the gate of the barracks.
As soon as more than 30 grenades smashed into the middle of the Beiyang Army and exploded, dozens of Beiyang Army troops gathered together were blown up. The Beiyang Army, which was still alive, subconsciously retreated.
A platoon took advantage of this opportunity and followed them to occupy the gate of the garrison barracks.
Three light machine guns went to the gate and fired a rain of bullets at the barracks.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen Beiyang troops exposed to machine-gun fire were beaten into a hornet's nest.
Under the threat of the fire of three light machine guns in a row of the guard battalion, the other Beiyang troops no longer dared to rush forward, and all of them retracted to their barracks. Especially after the follow-up troops brought two heavy machine guns at the door, they didn't dare to come out, and they didn't even dare to show their heads.
At this time, the battalion commander with the remaining two platoons had already rushed to the naval station.
Compared with the silence of ten minutes ago, the naval station was already brightly lit at this time.
Countless sleeping naval officers and men did not even have time to put on their clothes, and then rushed out of the barracks and ran to the gate of the station.
For these people, only when they board their own warships and stand in their own combat positions will they feel safe and relied on.
So, what they want to do most now is to rush to their own battleship.
But the fast-moving guard battalion did not intend to give them that opportunity.
As soon as dozens of naval officers and men were about to rush to the gate of the station, the battalion commander's order was given.
"Shoot them in front, warn them, dare to take a step forward, and wipe them all out!"
"Da da da ......" whizzing bullets hit directly in front of the devil, splashing at any time.
Dozens of naval officers and men were stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously stopped in place, caught in a dilemma.
Several officers armed with pistols obviously did not intend to admit defeat just like that, raised their pistols and opened fire, and then shouted and encouraged their subordinates to continue to rush to the gate of the barracks.
A hint of murderous aura quickly flashed on the face of the guard battalion commander, and then he ordered very decisively.
"Sharpshooter, kill some of the fiercest officers for me. Now it seems that if you don't kill people tonight, you won't be able to shock the thousands of officers and soldiers here, shoot them right away and kill a few of them! ”
"Bang bang ......" As soon as a few crisp gunshots rang out, dozens of meters away, the officer who was still screaming just now was directly shot and fell to the ground.
Faced with the bloody corpses that were close at hand, the officers and men of the Navy who had lost their command all at once had never encountered such a situation.
As one soldier ran in the direction of the camp without turning his head, the others immediately reacted and fled for their lives in the direction of the camp together.
When the surprise attack of the ten gunboats on the dock of the military port began, the three capital ships also moved and approached the dock at full speed.
The transport ships that followed behind the capital ships, under the cover of the capital ships and ten gunboats, quickly leaned on the dock and sent the officers and men of the guard division to the military port.
By the time the guard battalion, which had landed ahead of schedule, had completely blocked several thousand naval officers and men at the station, the guard division had already landed more than 1,000 people.
After these more than 1,000 people were killed in the port, a main battalion of the Beiyang Army garrison in the port was wiped out in less than ten minutes, and more than 300 of them surrendered in shock.
At this time, the guard division that had landed at the Qingdao military port had more than 3,000 people in one regiment.
With so many troops slaughtering the naval station together, the naval station, which was already panicked, was directly shrouded in a panic from top to bottom.
Coupled with the persuasion of several former naval officers of the Beiyang Army, more than 5,000 people surrendered without much hesitation! (To be continued.) )
