Chapter 224: Naval Victory
Night fighting has the advantages of night fighting, but it also has great disadvantages, because the gunner's view is blocked, and the night can help them cover their figures, but at the same time it will also cover the sight of both sides. However, the Huaxia side is relatively better, because there are some injured warships that have not yet had time to sink, and the fire of the warship is very good for them to guide the direction of the target.
The first round of attacks is not important, everyone can just hit the shells into the hypothetical area at will, and they can't see each other anyway, they can only rely on their feelings, and it is naturally good to hit, the hull is on fire, and the second shell should hit the natural way, and it doesn't matter if it misses, it's just training anyway, whatever you want.
Yang Shuming sat on the Iowa-class battleship numbered 201, of course, it is now called Jinxi-class, because it is still in a state of training, so Su Dao did not give each battleship a specific name, and now the name between them is also called according to the number, and Su Dao also told them very clearly that the reason why they did not name the warship was to plan to use the names of the soldiers or officers with the greatest merit as the names of the warships.
This has excited those naval soldiers for a long time, generally speaking, the naming of warships is a major event, even if it is named after people, it is basically those important people, such as the commander Su Dao, the chief of staff Wu Zhongguo, no matter how bad it is, it has to be named after the commander of the navy Yang Shuming or the acting captains of each ship, it seems that it is not their turn to be ordinary soldiers.
And Su Dao's order made these soldiers work hard to train, who doesn't want to use their own name to make the warship clear? This is a matter of glory to the ancestors, so when training, the soldiers in each battle position are also vying for the first, desperately trying to compare with others.
"What's going on with those boys in the submarine group? How did you make such a big move? Yang Shuming frowned, a little unable to believe the scene in front of him.
If it was daytime, it is estimated that Yang Shuming's shock would be even greater, at this time he only saw some of the ships on fire, but he could not see the few ships that had been sunk and the soldiers floating everywhere.
"I guess it was a sneak attack, it shouldn't be the first time that this devil has come here, we haven't found them before, so we're bold this time." Liu Feng, the acting captain of the 201 ship, replied lightly.
Yang Shuming thought about it and felt that it seemed to be the case, if it weren't for the fact that the army was too vigilant, even if it was a sneak attack at night, it would not have achieved such an effect. Obviously, in Yang Shuming's heart, the navy is still very strong, even if the six submarines are sneak attacked, it is impossible to achieve such a big result, just looking at the four ships on fire on the sea, Yang Shuming knows that these ships are bound to be finished.
Because the attack part of the submarine is below, once hit, there is rarely a phenomenon of fire, and it generally begins to sink directly, while the surface ship is on fire, which is also the difference between the two different types of ships.
"Contact Lei Zhenhao, just say that we are going to fight, let them pay attention to avoid accidental injury." Yang Shuming said.
Although he and Lei Zhenhao do not belong to the same faction, what has Yang Shuming not experienced in his life? He will not occupy the credit of the submarine force at all, nor will he envy it, because it is the honor they deserve, so before joining the war, he needs to inform Lei Zhenhao, the captain of the submarine brigade who makes him a little strange, no matter what, he is also one of the pillars of China's maritime defense forces.
And from Su Dao's attention to the submarine force, he also roughly judged that the submarine force has a very important position in Su Dao's heart, and after seeing all this in front of him, Yang Shuming also seemed to understand why Su Dao paid so much attention to the development of the submarine force.
With the participation of the surface fleet, the war can be described as one-sided, and the only four warships of the Yuben Navy were killed by the huge Huaxia Navy not long after they opened fire, especially the terrifying rate of fire of the Des Moines-class heavy cruisers, which directly stunned the little devils, and a single gun can send dozens of shells in one minute, which is fucking even if ten more warships are not easy to beat people.
Moreover, the Jinxi-class battleships are not vegetarians, as long as a single shot hits the vital place, they can basically overturn the opponent's ship, which is not a level of war at all. The only regret is that surface ships are novices, and even veterans have not yet gotten used to some of the facilities and equipment on them.
So in this blunt tactic, this naval battle lasted all night, until after dawn, after Yang Shuming clearly saw that there was no enemy in front of him, he hurriedly retreated, and after a night of naval battle, the shells had already been consumed, and Yang Shuming was not stupid enough to think that he did not ask for reinforcements.
And it was Yang Shuming's decision that allowed them to escape the catastrophe, and less than an hour after they left the area of battle, an aircraft carrier and two battleships led dozens of warships, large and small, to the sea area where the incident occurred, but when they arrived here, they became angry.
There is no shadow of a Chinese warship, what appears in front of them are the bodies of the floating Imperial Army warriors, although the navy looks down on the army, but that does not mean that they want the army to die, and this incident happened under the escort of the navy, so the main responsibility for the incident is also on the navy's side.
After all, the naval battle is not the business of the army, the defeat of the naval battle, resulting in the death of tens of thousands of infantrymen, the War Department will definitely sue the navy from the emperor, and the matter is still happening at this critical juncture, even the sea minister estimates that he will have to be scolded by the emperor severely.
The first few days have been transporting all kinds of supplies, and the first batch of three divisions was only ready last night, and then the navy gave up on continuing to transport supplies, and decided to send these three divisions over first, and then continue to transport supplies the next day, who would have thought that the first time the infantry would be transported like this?
More than 40 cargo ships, large and small, loaded nearly 100,000 soldiers and equipment from three divisions, and more than half of the infantry were reimbursed in a naval battle. The surviving soldiers also had lingering fears that they had just landed at the port of Pusan, North Korea, this morning, and it was estimated that they would not have a period of rest and recuperation, and it would be difficult for them to go to the battlefield.
After getting here, Yang Shuming directly ordered a retreat, and he didn't bother to care about the fleeing cargo ships, anyway, all those who could run all night ran away, and those who couldn't run away were sunk by them.
"Hahaha, okay, good fight, look at what the little devil is arrogant this time." After learning the news of the victory in the naval battle, Su Dao immediately burst out laughing in the military headquarters in Jinxi, and praised the performance of the navy again and again.
The victory of the navy's first battle this time made Su Dao's confidence suddenly full, although the 201 ship was hit by a cannon, but it didn't matter, it didn't hit the vital point, just lost some soldiers and a cannon, these Su Dao can be replenished at any time, even if it is not a loss at all, what makes Su Dao feel distressed the most is those dead soldiers, after training for so long, it is not so easy to replenish it in an instant.
"Throne, don't be careless, our navy has just experienced a big war, although it has completely defeated the opponent, but now they need to rest, and the damaged warships also need to be repaired, it will take time, I will definitely not give up, our navy is not able to fight for the time being, I am worried that they will directly enter the Bohai Sea and bombard our coastal cities with naval guns." Wu Zhongguo hurriedly reminded.
He was also very happy about the Navy's achievements, but he was just happy, he had been by Su Dao's side for so long, what kind of surprise had he not seen? Such a piece of news was not enough to make him go crazy with joy, so at the first time, Wu Zhongguo thought of the possible surname that the navy might enter the Bohai Sea.
And this assumption is also very reasonable, the navy received a request for help and arrived at the sea area where the incident occurred, and after arriving, no Chinese ships were found, only a pile of floating corpses of the Yue army, and they would inevitably be furious, thinking that the war had just ended, the Chinese navy would definitely go back to replenish, and it was not impossible to take advantage of this opportunity to directly defeat them, and at this time, the Huaxia navy had no chance to respond to the war, and everyone knew how fragile the navy that was being replenished.
"Haha, you can rest assured that you are happy, old Wu, I don't know the little devil's virtue? I have already informed the Air Force that as soon as dawn we will send fighter planes to patrol over the Bohai Sea, and as soon as we discover that this warship has entered the Bohai Sea, we will be notified immediately. Su Dao smiled and replied.
Happy to be happy, although this is the first victory of the navy, but Su Dao is not a person who will be carried away by victory, if that is the case, he will not be able to reach today's position, as early as the battle of Songhu is estimated to be almost wiped out by the little devils.
Although Su Dao sometimes behaves like a layman, he doesn't look like a professional soldier or military strategist at all, but Su Dao is sober in his heart, knowing when to do it, just like the bombing of Tokyo before, Su Dao is not hot-headed, and he directly ordered the bombing without caring about anything.
If that was the case, as early as the day after the airdrop leaflet, Su Dao sent bombers to bomb it, and the reason why it was delayed for a few days was because Su Dao had to think carefully about the pros and cons of this. Of course, judging from the current situation, all this seems to be expected by him, and the whole war is developing in the direction he expected.
Although the army claims that it wants to increase the number of troops by 10 divisions and regiments, it will take at least a month to send these 10 divisions and regiments to Huaxia. This takes time, especially in Kannai, if you don't handle it well, there will be big trouble, so Su Dao predicted that after the bombing of Tokyo, he would have at least a month of preparation time, and if this month's preparation time is used well, there will be no problem in dealing with the next war.
If it weren't for the rush to drive out the Chinese army, and then develop for half a year to support Germany, Su Dao would not be too lazy to take such a big risk, and if he wanted to drive the little devil out as soon as possible, it seemed that there was only one way, to gather him together, and after beating him up, he was forced to withdraw the army, anyway, if the bombing of Tokyo didn't work once, we would come a second time, the longer the time, the more the number of bombings, the greater the certainty of Su Dao's victory.
It's just that Su Dao regrets that he didn't expect it to be done after only one bombing, which made Su Dao have to deeply despise the little devil, he was too unfocused, and he actually let Su Dao succeed in one strategy, it was too difficult. (To be continued.) )
