31. Landed in Taiwan
The violent explosion blew up the destroyer's conning tower, and the broken Moonomaru flag burned in flames.
The six biplane metal fighters in the sky were like nimble swallows, quickly pulling up and flying south.
"Yaga! The power is damaged, the rudder is destroyed"
"Report sir, the radio is destroyed and communication is not possible."
The crumbling destroyer, some of the remaining officers and men of the Saimoto Navy covered in blood were full of despair. The Navy has always believed that they are absolutely safe in East Asia, and the Navy's teaching is to look down on those wood-framed aircraft, which can only be used for reconnaissance purposes and cannot pose a threat to powerful warships.
Today, however, they have personally felt the horror of the air strikes, and they have no power to fight back, and one warship after another and patrol boats have been destroyed, and they cannot escape at their speed, so the other side can finish bombing, return to reload, and continue to catch up and bomb until they are blown up and sunk
A few dozen kilometers of the planes heading south, they saw a fleet heading at high speed in the direction of the warships of the Navy.
"Swallow, swallow, I'm the No. 3 Bird's Nest, please answer when you hear it."
The pilot heard the sound of radio communication, and the captain of the long plane team immediately returned: "I'm Swallow, No. 3, please speak." ”
"Swallow, do you find the fleeing enemy ship?"
"Report No. 3, except for one of the fleeing enemy ships, which has lost power due to the destroyed conning tower, the other two have been sunk, and the enemy ship is located at 11 o'clock in the north, about fifty kilometers away."
"Very good, Swallow. The meat is for you to eat, and we will take care of the rest, and I wish you a safe return. ”
The warship leading below is the Nanjing, a command ship equipped with a radio signal tower, although the signal tower must be comparable to the Jiangsu-class pocket battleship, but the communication capacity is also up to 15 kilometers, and it forms a pursuit fleet with two light cruisers and two destroyers.
Shen Honglie shouted into the walkie-talkie: "Brothers, Xiao Yueben is lying in a nest fifty kilometers to the north, everyone goes to practice their hands, and next time it will be with Xiao Yueben's main force of the navy." ”
"If you beat him up, it can be regarded as collecting some interest on Jia Wu."
"General Shen, is that aviation a member of our navy? The credit has been taken away from them, and there are leftovers left. ”
Shen Honglie reprimanded: "Nonsense! I didn't hear what the commander said, it's called naval aviation, of course, it's our navy. ”
"I really want to shoot those guys down with anti-aircraft weapons, and I don't know how to converge, so there's more left for us to enjoy."
“”
The formation of six planes continued to fly south, and soon a large fleet of ships was unprecedentedly large.
This is a huge fleet of hundreds of steamships, large and small, that rushed straight toward Taiwan under the escort of the navy, and these ships were all full of land forces, that is, the group bureau where Li Huangshan landed in Taiwan, and the hundreds of ships were fully loaded with more than 150,000 army forces.
The battle to seize Taiwan was fought with a sudden surname. Taking advantage of the fact that the main force of the navy was absent and that the Taiwan patrol fleet was no match for the navy, it landed more than 100,000 troops on Taiwan in one fell swoop and swept through Taiwan with a devastating momentum. At the same time, after suffering a heavy loss, the navy was induced to retaliate angrily, dispatch the main force of the navy to come, and then use the air force to inflict heavy damage on the large warships of its fleet, and destroy the main force of the navy in a three-dimensional combat mode of sea and air cooperation.
------------
In his own judgment, China did not have the courage to declare war on him, let alone attack. For this reason, it was said that it was directly regarded as a safe area on the Taiwan side, but additional warships were deployed in Jiaozhou Bay so that in case of changes, artillery support could be provided to the army.
The German-built Jiaozhou Bay Naval Base is well-equipped, and the battleships Hiei and Kirishima are moored in the harbor with murderous spirits, and the Navy is also trying to deter the Chinese side, telling the Chinese side not to think that the 10,000-ton giant ships are amazing, and to let the Chinese side know that even if there is a weakened version of the battleship, it is still nothing in front of the coast. After all, the Chinese side had built the Jiangsu-class pocket battleships, and it could no longer be expected to force the Chinese side to submit just by sending the "Izumo" cruiser.
The terrifying shelling shocked the officers and men of more than a dozen warships of the Shandong Navy's Shandong Fleet, and although the officers and men of the navy confirmed that it was not caused by conventional giant artillery, the effect of the shelling was no less than that of the giant artillery group.
"Make a fire, pressurize!" The fleet is in chaos, the giant artillery group, can you not be afraid? If the navy were hit by such a huge artillery group, it would also turn into a pile of broken copper and iron in the blink of an eye.
The dull sound of engines and motors came from the "buzzing" sky, which made many officers and men of the Navy look up one after another.
More than thirty fighters with metallic wings swooped down at high speed, carrying a huge bomb under their belly, but the bomb looked like a pocket version of a torpedo. But soon they realized that it was a torpedo.
The group of planes continued to dive close to the water, and one after another aviation torpedoes were launched, stirring up one waterline after another in the military port, and under the acceleration of the planes' habitual name, the torpedo speed was extremely fast. How desperate it is for a warship that has not yet been pressurized and is still at a standstill.
The "boom" series of explosions were mixed with the frightened and desperate howls of countless officers and men of the Navy. The torpedo is a feared presence for any warship, because instead of attacking the surface armor of the warship, it attacks the weakest part of the warship's water line at a fixed depth, which is fatal even for battleships.
Warships poured under torpedo attacks, and small destroyers and light cruisers were even blown in two by violent explosions on the spot. Although the Hiei and Kirishima were battle cruisers, the armor of the so-called battle cruisers was relatively light, and the armor was only more than 200 millimeters, and they could not compete with the regular battleships.
The nightmare did not stop, a large number of twin-engine bombers flew over Jiaozhou Bay, bombs kept falling, and the officers and men of the Sixth Division stationed in Jiaozhou Bay were blown to the ground; if the anti-aircraft firepower on the warships was very small, and only two antiaircraft machine guns were installed on some of the warships, then the army would not have anti-aircraft weapons at all, and only some soldiers under the command of the officers kept firing with small arms into the sky, but this led to more fierce bombing.
The battle for the capture of Jiaozhou Bay gradually kicked off under the bombardment of the air force
---------------
There are very few military garrisons in the area from the coastal all-night town in central Taiwan to the Wanwa area, and it can be said that there are only some policemen, and the police station was attacked by a group of soldiers in camouflage uniforms, and the panicked policemen kept falling under the strafing of assault rifle fire.
Countless red flares rose into the sky.
The silence of this long coast was broken, and countless ships poured here in the distance, there was basically no decent dock here, and there was only a small dock in the overnight town, but it could moor small boats of several thousand tons at most, but this sea was densely packed with hundreds of large and small steamers.
These small steamers did not dock, but anchored a kilometer or two away from the shore, and lowered themselves with countless small boats, which were densely packed with countless soldiers and sailed towards the shore. The only overnight wharf in the town, the ships leaning on the wharf, but with the help of the soldiers who came ashore, constantly unloaded a large number of mortars and other heavy weapons and a large amount of ammunition, to put it bluntly, the group army attacking Taiwan did not have many heavy weapons at all, and the largest heavy weapon was a 105-caliber mortar.
On the pocket battleship Jiangsu, Li Haijun, Sa Zhenbing, and Li Huangshan looked at the dense landing procession, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, the landing was much easier than they imagined, and it was really the Turkish landing battle planned by Churchill in the world war that gave people too much psychological pressure.
Sa Zhenbing said with a smile: "It's up to the army below." ”
Li Huangshan said with a smile: "There are only about 20,000 troops in Taiwan, and we have a seven-fold superiority in troops. Not to mention that they are scattered all over the place, even if they are concentrated together, such a huge gap in forces, we will definitely win. ”
Li Haijun said with a smile: "Remember to keep the Keelung Port in Taipei for the enemy and give them some hope." Only in this way can we lure the main force of the navy over, and only by annihilating the main force of the navy can we really win this war as quickly as possible. ”
Li Huangshan said with a smile: "This is the established strategy, don't worry, the fat meat will be hung out for you, let you wash the shame of the First Sino-Japanese War in the Taiwan Strait, and we will create a new era, which belongs to China's East Asian era." ”
The news of the large-scale landing of the Chinese Army in Taiwan shocked the world.
China's counterattack on Taiwan shows that this war cannot be good. This was unthinkable not only by the great powers, but also by the Ben. You must know that the navy of the country is the third in the world, and it has an absolute advantage over the Chinese navy, and once the navy blockades the Taiwan Strait, the landing force will not be able to obtain supplies, and it will be an absolute disaster, and the troops without supplies will soon be wiped out.
However, this strategic arrangement of the Chinese political axe in Nanjing did achieve the effect of a surprise attack, so the landing was hardly hindered. Moreover, the whole world has also seen that China's Nanjing political axe is determined to win Taiwan, and it actually invested 150,000 troops at a time. But in the eyes of all countries in the world, this is an extremely crazy move, which is simply joking with the surname of the 150,000-strong army.
Seeing that tens of thousands of troops had already landed on the other side, it was impossible to drive the enemy out into the sea, so it resolutely ordered the troops to shrink their defensive lines and notified the country to request support.
The cabinet also quickly gave instructions: "Stick to Keelung and Kaohsiung, and wait for help!" ”
The helper said: Dude, there are many restrictions on military writing, it is difficult to write, and it is not popular. I can see that my brothers are all supportive.
