302 Invisible shelling
Lin Fei then asked, "From us to Gumi Reef, can the big ship get by?" ”
Meng Huikai nodded and said, "The sea near Gumi Reef is relatively deep, whether it is our Dragon-class cruiser or transport ship, it can get by." ”
"Do you know anything about the hydrology around Gumi Reef?" Lin Fei continued to ask.
"Understood, very well understood, even with your eyes closed, you can drive the boat over." Meng Huikai replied solemnly.
Lin Fei frowned slightly, and said, "Can you drive the boat over with your eyes closed?" You're not kidding? ”
"No," Meng Huikai's tone was even more solemn, "I've walked this waterway hundreds of times, and I can pass it with my eyes closed." ”
Lin Fei let out an "um" sound, staring at Gumi Reef intently, without saying a word, Meng Huikai couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, what are you asking about this?" ”
Lin Fei thought for a moment and said, "I've found a way to take out the enemy's fort." ”
Meng Huikai was stunned for a moment and asked, "What does it have to do with killing the enemy's fort and that reef?" ”
Lin Fei smiled mysteriously and said with a smile: "You will know when the time comes, go and prepare, and drive the boat to Gumi Reef when the time comes." ”
Meng Huikai didn't ask much, he promised to leave, and Lin Fei instructed his subordinates: "Go and find Ma Chengfeng and Sun Yong." ”
One of his subordinates agreed and walked out, and when Ma Chengfeng and Sun Yong came to Lin Fei, Lin Fei took the two to the command tower, which was open air and had a panoramic view of the surrounding sea.
Lin Fei pointed to Gumi Reef with his hand and said, "Do you see that reef?" ”
The two of them had a fun www.biquge.info, and Lin Fei said with a smile: "Test your ranging skills, how far is that reef from the Golden Turtle Head Fort?" ”
The two stretched out their fingers, held them in front of their eyes, their eyes opened and closed, and there were words in their mouths, and after a while, Ma Chengfeng first said: "I estimate that it is about more than 5,000 meters." ”
Sun Yong nodded and said, "My estimate is about the same, about five to six thousand meters. ”
Lin Fei nodded with a smile and said, "Very good, I estimated that it was about this number, do you know why I asked you this?" ”
Ma Chengfeng and Sun Yong shook their heads gently, Lin Fei smiled and pointed to the surrounding sea, and said: "You see the fog on the sea, it is getting thicker and thicker, now we can see the reef clearly, and after a while, we will definitely not be able to see the reef clearly, and the Japanese troops on the Golden Turtle Head Fort will definitely not be able to see the reef clearly." ”
"If we had approached the reef through the fog, the Japanese would have not seen us, and we would have been able to get close to the reef without the Japanese noticing it, by slowing down the speed and making the sound of the steam engine as low as possible. If we calculate the location of the reef and the Golden Turtle Head Fort now, we will be able to shell the Japanese battery near the reef at that time, and the river will be so foggy that the Japanese will not be able to see us at all. ”
Sun Yong's eyes lit up and he said, "So the Japanese only have to stare and be beaten, right?" ”
Lin Fei smiled and nodded, and Ma Chengfeng hurriedly said: "Okay, I'll go and calculate the location for the artillery brothers immediately, but now the fog on the sea is too big, and I can't see the location of the Golden Turtle Head Fort clearly, I plan to measure it tomorrow, and I will take a boat to the vicinity of Gumi Reef, and the measurement there will definitely be much more accurate than the measurement here." ”
Lin Fei agreed, and turned around, on October 10, at 8 o'clock in the morning, the scorching sun dispersed the fog, and Ma Chengfeng took a small boat to approach Gumi Reef, and the person who made the boat was Meng Huikai.
When Ma Chengfeng arrived at Gumi Reef, he began to calculate the direction and distance from Gumi Reef to the Golden Turtle Head Battery, and prepared for artillery shooting, and the Japanese troops on the Golden Turtle Head Battery also saw Ma Chengfeng's boat, but they didn't pay attention to it, and they didn't even report the incident to the Japanese commander Hishijima Yoshiki, after all, they couldn't think of Lin Fei's plan.
In order to be more accurate, Ma Chengfeng calculated the distance and direction five times, took the average, and then returned to the Tianlong ship and handed over the number to Sun Yong, who then led his subordinates to calculate and shoot Zhuyuan, and practiced repeatedly.
At night, the bright moon was in the sky, and there was no trace of fog in the night sky, such weather obviously could not allow Lin Fei to carry out his plan, so Lin Fei ordered to rest tonight and not attack for the time being.
Lin Fei did not attack here, and the Japanese troops on the opposite side did not panic, and under the leadership of Yoshiki Hishijima, they desperately strengthened their positions and prepared to deal with the attack of Lin Fei's troops.
The next day, on October 11, in order to harass the enemy, Lin Fei ordered the Yunlong, Tenglong, and Qianlong ships to patrol around Penghu Island, and fired shells at the island from time to time, but these shells did not pose a threat to the Japanese troops on the island at all, and the Japanese army ignored them.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, night fell, dark clouds obscured the bright moon, the sea was full of fog, Lin Fei originally wanted the Tianlong ship to perform this task in person, but was stopped by Liu Daming and others, so Lin Fei asked Shangguan Yunlong to lead the dragon ship to approach Gumi Reef, Lin Fei in order to cover the action of the dragon ship, specially ordered Bi Fang to lead the dragon ship around the other side of the island, to launch a bombardment on the island.
Sun Yong personally went up to the Tenglong ship to guide the artillery bombardment, and Meng Huikai, who was proficient in the waterway situation, personally guided the operation of the ship on the Tenglong ship.
The speed of the dragon ship is very slow, so the smoke in the chimney is very slight, and the sound is also very weak, despite this, the soldiers on the dragon ship are still worried that they will be discovered by the enemy, and they are so nervous that they dare not come out, Shangguan Yunlong looks indifferent, and tells his subordinates with a smile, if we are discovered by the enemy, we will have a hard fight with them...
At 9 o'clock in the evening, Gumi Reef appeared in front of the Tenglong ship, Shangguan Yunlong ordered the Tenglong ship to drop anchor, and the Tenglong ship dropped its bow anchor and stopped near Gumi Reef.
When the vehicle stops, if it stops on flat ground, the car will not move, and even if the battleship drops anchor, it will move with the waves. Smaller waves also have less roll on the battleship, making it easier for the cannonballs to hit.
At 9:30 p.m., as soon as he was ready, Sun Yong picked up the microphone and ordered in a low voice: "According to the calibration of the gun position, use the big fireball, and open the gun." ”
At this time, the sea was full of fog, and the gunners could not see the Golden Turtle Head Battery when they were aiming, so they could only adjust the muzzle of the gun to the firing position according to the pre-calculated number, and then load the cloud burst shell into the gun chamber and press the firing button.
At 9:35, the first wave of six cloudburst bombs flew towards the Golden Turtle Head Battery, only to see six fireballs rising in the direction of the Golden Turtle Head Battery, Sun Yong didn't know whether these cloud burst bombs had hit, not only did he not know, but Ma Chengfeng, who was on an observation mission on the Tianlong ship, did not know.
After Sun Yong finished the first wave of cloudburst bombs, he ordered his subordinates to fight another wave, and in this way, he fired eight waves in a row, a total of forty-eight cloudburst bombs, and then quietly returned home.
It was also Lin Fei's decision to shoot forty-eight cloud burst shells, Lin Fei was not hot-headed, he randomly found a number for his subordinates to fight, he estimated the hit rate of the shells, and then used his mathematical knowledge to deduce this number.
Speaking of mathematics, Lin Fei knows everything about mathematics, mathematics is the foundation of science and engineering, Lin Fei knows a lot of science and engineering knowledge, which is inseparable from his solid mathematical foundation.
The next morning, when the fog cleared, Lin Fei personally climbed the mast watchtower and looked at the Golden Turtle Head Fort, and laughed excitedly at a glance, only to see that the heavy artillery that was showing off its might in the fort had become a defeated quail and a defeated chicken, and he was depressed, and the cannon body of one was broken into two, and the other two were blown up, and the cannon body fell to the ground weakly.
Lin Fei immediately ordered Zhu Minxiang: "Lead the infantry and launch a landing operation according to the predetermined plan...", and then ordered Tang Yinchun: "Lead the frogman commando, land on the island according to the predetermined plan, and launch an attack and harassment operation." ”
In the past two days, Lin Fei transferred a number of small boats from Budaikou, and these small boats belonged to nearby Taiwan fishermen, who heard that the "anti-Japanese hero Lin Fei" was going to use small boats, and rowed their own small boats to Lin Fei.
When the fighters of the Fifth Brigade were transferred, it was about 10 a.m., which happened to be at high tide, and the landing force preferred to land at high tide, because this would minimize the distance exposed to the beach.
More than 3,000 men of the Fifth Brigade were divided into five landing clusters in 150 small boats, with an interval of 200 meters between each landing cluster, and rushed to the beachhead, and the Japanese troops defending the island immediately rushed to the supreme commander...... Yoshiki Hishishima reports.
Yoshiki Hishijima was already mad at this time, because the Golden Turtle Head Fort was suddenly hit by fireball shells last night, and the reserve shells of the three heavy guns were detonated, and all three heavy guns were blown up, while the artillerymen operating the three heavy guns didn't even know where the shells came from.
After the fort was blown up, Yoshiki Hishishima also guessed that Lin Fei would attack in the next day, so he was not surprised to hear Lin Fei's troops attack, he grabbed the phone and solemnly said to the various guarding troops: "Now that Penghu Island has reached the moment of life and death, I order, at any cost, to eliminate the China pigs who landed on the island..."
Every Japanese soldier understood his situation, at this time the Japanese fleet had been completely defeated, they had lost their sea support, and their only hope of survival was to hold Penghu Island, so every Japanese soldier clenched the Meiji 22-year-style Murata rifle in his hand and was determined to defend Penghu to the death.
