Chapter 1973 Slaughterhouse

"The Japanese fleet was divided into two parts?"

After reading the latest telegram from Yingkou, An Yi pondered for a moment and came to the large map of Bohai Bay. The location of the minefield was clearly marked on the map of the www.biquge.info Templar, and the Japanese fleet was distributed on both sides of the minefield, which was divided into east and west, and the original plan to close the door and fight the dogs was actually aborted.

Next to him, Yang Fei asked urgently: "Where has our submarine formation arrived?" ”

Liu Qing, who followed up, replied softly: "Half an hour ago, the formation sent a telegram back, and there is still a three-hour flight from the battlefield!" ”

Rear Admiral Liu Yu, chief of operations, who was instructing his staff officers to mark the location of the enemy's fleet's main ships on the map, made a slight calculation in his heart, and then said: "The enemy's eastern and western fleets are within the range of our shore-to-ship missile attacks...... We have 24 shore-to-ship missiles, which are enough to destroy all the Japanese aircraft carriers even according to the most conservative estimates, and if the submarines take advantage of the chaos and the torpedo planes are put into operation to decisively carry out lightning strikes on the Japanese warships, then the results will certainly be even more gratifying.

"As for the Japanese battleships, cruisers, and other ships that are surrounded by our mines, they have lost the protection of air defense destroyers and fighters, and as long as we suppress their minesweeper operations, these ships will cease to exist after dawn tomorrow under our air raids."

Vice Admiral Wei Mingyang, chief of staff of the Navy, who coordinated the cooperation between the navy and the army and the air force at the General Staff, said with a smile: "Now I hope that the friendly forces will not fight so hard, so that we will have the opportunity to salp up these warships and put them back into service after repairing them." Think about it, we don't even change the names of these warships, and drive around the world, and the Japanese will probably be so ashamed that they can't raise their heads! ”

An Yi was amused when he heard it, and pointed at Wei Mingyang and said, "Mingyang has a good idea, but anything can happen in the battle, so let's not give Yang Guan an extra burden...... Well, it seems that to deal with this part of the Japanese warships that entered the set, it is still necessary to use fortress guns against them...... Call Yang Guan and ask him to hold on for another two and a half hours, and when the submarine formation arrives, it will use shore-to-ship missiles against the Japanese aircraft carriers, and then we will launch an attack on all fronts! ”

"Yes!"

......

In the waters of Yingkou, fierce battles are raging.

As the flagship of the assault fleet, the high-speed battleship "Haruna" was also in frequent distress during the attack of the fortress guns, but fortunately, most of the shells became close misses, and the only shell that hit the front deck smashed a big hole, but fortunately it did not affect the hull structure.

In this case, the Haruna had to quickly withdraw from the range of the fortress guns in order to avoid another blow. Rear Admiral Masao Nishida, the interim commander of the assault fleet, called the flagship of the fleet with some panic, but was surprised to find that it was interfered with by strong radio waves. (《》)

In the face of heavy coastal artillery fire, Masao Nishida immediately approached Lieutenant General Kato Hajiro, who was watching the battle on the deck, and demanded an immediate withdrawal.

Kato Hajiro grabbed Nishida Masao by the collar and angrily accused: "We paid such a big price to approach Yingkou Port and retreat, who will be responsible?" Now it is better for our army to rush, as long as we occupy the Yingkou West Battery, we can immediately change the current unfavorable situation! ”

Nishida Masao was about to reprimand Kato Hajiro for his rudeness, but when he saw his solemn expression, his heart softened, so he had to say: "Okay, let's retreat first, let the army take the landing ship to launch a beach-grabbing operation, and then wait for the opportunity to find the weak point of the enemy's artillery fire, give the enemy a fierce blow, and cover the army's actions!" But let me say first, if we can't fight hard, we must withdraw, otherwise we will be in trouble when it is dawn! ”

"Good!"

Kato Bojiro bowed heavily to Masao Nishida.

Soon, the assault fleet began to retreat, retreating beyond the range of the fortress guns to avoid shelling, and at the same time sent landing ships and landing craft to march towards the Yingkou beachhead.

On the ink-washed sea, a large number of landing ships and landing craft braved the wind and waves and rushed toward the beach; they wanted to capture the line from the mouth of the Liaohe River to Sidaogou before dawn, and after capturing the West Fort, they would seize the urban area of Yingkou in one go, and then build a consolidated air defense position to deal with the air force threat from the superiority of the Anjia Army.

Yang Guan, who received An Yi's telegram, paced back and forth in the fortress headquarters with his hands behind his back, and Colonel Wang Tao, chief of the communications section, came in and reported: "Commander, the radar station has sent news that the Japanese fleet has withdrawn from the range of our fortress guns, and they have sent a large number of landing ships to try to land on the beach!" ”

"The donkey is poor! What the Navy can't do, do the little devils think their army can do it? Yang Guan waved his hand and calmly ordered: "Order the preparation of small and medium-caliber artillery, anyway, there are so many Japanese artillery shells captured since the Northeast Campaign, fight as much as you want, and wipe out these little devils at sea!" ”

"Yes!"

Wang Tao led the order, and Yang Guan came to the periscope of the fortress and carefully examined the dark sea.

The light on the sea was bright, the flares hung high in the air, and slowly descended, almost at the same time, the fortress trembled violently, and a rumbling roar sounded, and all kinds of small and medium-caliber shells, like sparks and meteors, crossed the sky, and fell to the sea with a loud bang one after another.

The huge column of water, the splashes of water in all directions, and the huge waves stirred up by the shells made the hearts of the Japanese officers and men inside the landing ship tremble.

In the dimly lit cabin, there was no movement outside, but the violently shaking hull of the ship, as well as the loud explosion and splashing water splash like a thunderbolt, were undoubtedly a nightmare for these Japanese officers and soldiers who were responsible for seizing the beach. (《》)

Suddenly a small landing craft was hit by a shell of a Type 96 150-mm cannon, which is the most powerful 6-inch army cannon in the world today.

Not long after, another large landing ship of 1,500 tons was hit by a 150-millimeter cannon shell, instantly lost power, spun in place, and then a row of shells fell, and in the blink of an eye, the landing ship was blown apart and sank quickly.

The data transmitted by the airship radar and radar vehicles are constantly analyzed and processed on the computer of the electronic command center, and then the coordinates are constantly conveyed to each gun position through the telephone line, and the gunners aim and shoot in an orderly manner according to the data constantly transmitted from the electronic center.

On the rough sea, the flames soared into the sky.

In the process of the Japanese army's sprint, one after another the landing ships exploded and caught fire, illuminating the originally dark sea as if it were day, and many landing ships were not sunk after being shot, like fire coffins floating on the water, illuminating the surrounding sea. Countless Japanese officers and men struggled to swim to the beachhead, but most of them were dragged to the bottom of the sea by the whirlpools of sunken ships in the vicinity, and the rest also sank into the sea from exhaustion in the cold waters of November.

About a third of the Japanese troops of about a division sank to the bottom of the sea along with the landing ships in this deathly charge, and the rest of the ships were finally approaching the beach under heavy artillery fire.

Above the beach, the firing holes of the fortress opened one after another, and a general-purpose machine gun, as well as light and heavy machine guns captured by the Japanese army, protruded from each of the firing holes and aimed at the junction between the sea and the beach.

"Bang bang—"

Just as the landing ships approached the beach, a crisp popping sound was heard over the beach, and a string of flares whistled into the sky, and the sky and the earth were white.

The sudden appearance of light exposed the figure of the Japanese troops who were rushing to land on the beach. As the order to attack came, the general-purpose machine gun made the sound of tearing cloth, the dense shells fell on the ground of the fortress like rain, making a clanging crashing sound, the muzzles of each gun protruded one after another, and the dense bullets shot down to the sea like rain, the water splashed everywhere, and pieces of devils fell into the cold sea like wheat harvesting.

Shells are falling non-stop, and dense bullets are sweeping across the sea!

It can be said that this is completely the bloodiest and most merciless massacre! Hundreds of general-purpose machine guns, as well as countless light and heavy machine guns with crooked handles, crutches, and chicken necks captured from the Japanese army, as well as hundreds of Maxim heavy machine guns, constantly sprayed barrage, and the sea water rolled up like a boil, and with the sound of gunfire one after another, the Japanese troops who had just rushed out of the landing ships fell one by one.

In addition to shells and machine guns, anti-aircraft machine guns and machine guns of various calibers joined the slaughter.

The 20-mm Erlikon cannon and the 12.7-mm high-level dual-purpose machine gun rained out like a storm, and the devils who were shot, whether officers or soldiers, were dismembered in an instant, and bodies that lost their heads, upper bodies, and limbs abounded, and pieces of minced flesh fell in the shallow water, and the entire coast was stained red with blood.

In the light of day, the sea water with blood-red foam surged onto the beach with the rolling tide, and then a large number of stumps and human organs were wrapped in them, and they quickly receded, and the sea breeze was filled with a strong smell of blood, making people in the middle of it feel like they were in hell.

Although the Japanese army was deeply influenced by the spirit of bushido, and it was their honor to sacrifice themselves for the emperor, many devils were so frightened that they were prostrate in the shallow water, not daring to move.

More than 20,000 Japanese troops rushed to the beach like moths to a fire, and then they were quickly wiped out, and the rest continued to move closer to the beach and continue to launch a death charge.

Just as the officers and men of Anjia were having fun killing devils, the radar showed that the Japanese fleet had moved again, and the electronic command center immediately gave an early warning.

After Yang Guan received the notice, he immediately made a judgment: the Japanese army was ready to make a desperate bet!

"Order Colonel Xiang Shuang to let their regiment's B1 bomber squadron attack immediately! You don't need the accuracy of the airdrop, just throw the aerial bombs and napalm into the sea for me, and blow up and burn these bastards! Yang Guan gave the order.

The B1 bomber is the mosquito bomber, has always been the main force of the Anjia Army Air Force, in the current air war in Europe, Britain and Germany have imported technology from South China to produce the all-wooden structure of the fighter as a universal machine.

The Mosquito bomber is very good, when carrying out a large-scale bombing mission, a small number of Mosquito bombers can be interspersed in a large aircraft formation, hanging four bombs ranging from 200 kg to 500 kg, or carry out a single attack, or several groups of bombs to drop bombs in a concentrated manner. You must know that when bombing, the Mosquito bomber can not only bomb at high altitudes, but also drop bombs at small targets at low altitudes, and the results are very good.

When strategic bombers fly to enemy positions in large numbers at night, the Mosquito bomber plays the role of a guide on more occasions, finding and calibrating target positions or dropping flares for large fleets, and it often takes the lead and flies at the front of the group. At the same time, both Germany and Britain like to give full play to the Mosquito bomber's high speed and good at night flight, and when they go behind enemy lines at night, they deliberately increase the number of air raid sirens in the enemy's rear and disturb the other side's peace.

At present, when Britain is extremely short of supplies, the all-wooden mosquito bomber plays an extremely important role.

When the B1 bombers at the Dashiqiao military airfield took off in groups, the Japanese fleet that turned back fired a dense swarm of shells at the west battery of Yingkou, and several 150 mm and 120 mm caliber guns that were firing at the landing ships on the sea surface were hit with precision, and one of the 356 mm giant shells directly hit the gun position of the 150 mm cannon. Like a house built of building blocks, it collapsed in an instant, and more than a dozen artillery officers and men, including the transport troops, all died heroically.

The goal of the Japanese fleet was obvious, that is, to desperately suppress the defensive firepower of the Anjia army, so that the landing force could quickly land on the shore and then fight for the first-line position.

As long as the landing force can lay a nail in front of the fortress, the next step of the strategy will be much easier. Soon, several machine-gun forts were blown to pieces by the Japanese naval guns, and the officers and soldiers inside were reduced to pieces along with the shattered fortresses, and the blood of the heroic spirits stained the earth red.

Taking advantage of the naval guns to suppress the shore fire resistance, another division of the Japanese army joined the charge, and the entire sea was full of dense landing ships.

The madness of the Japanese army did not last long, about four squadrons of B1 bombers, appeared in the eastern sky, and then began to frantically pour bombs into the sea, the entire sea was full of violent explosions, and landing ships were constantly hit by bullets and capsized. The Japanese battleships, cruisers, and destroyers were given special care, and the napalm dropped by some fighters quickly turned the battleships into torches, which were very conspicuous on the dark sea.

At this time, the Japanese fleet could not care about bombing the West Battery, and immediately formed an anti-aircraft formation, the radar fire control system was activated, and all kinds of anti-aircraft weapons were constantly spitting shells against the dark sky.

At the same time, our army's counterattack unfolded again, under the guidance of the radar, the 305 mm, 240 mm and 203 mm fortress guns, all broke out in a roar, meteor fire like a huge cannonball, towards the distance was firing at the air of the Japanese fleet to cover the past, the shells continued to explode in the Japanese fleet, the "blowing snow" class "Hao" special destroyer in front, the first to bear the brunt, hit four bullets in a row, was immediately sunk, and then two more destroyers were heavily damaged and sunk,

The high-speed battleship "Haruna" was first attacked by four 250-kilogram bombs dropped by B1 bombers, and the officers and men on board suffered heavy losses, and then two 305-mm shells were hit one after another, and the No. 1 and No. 2 turrets were damaged to varying degrees.

In the face of the unfavorable situation, even Kato Hajiro, who has been the main battle, felt a chill.

Since the army was launching a landing operation, Rear Admiral Nishida Masao had to order the fleet to withdraw from the range of the fortress guns again, actively defend the air, and decide whether the fleet would stay or stay depending on the results of the landing operation.
