Chapter Ninety-Three: The Battle of Guinan: A Sneak Attack
Ren Tianyang was scratched by the fat in front of him, and ventured to float twice in one night, but he was not sure. waited until the second half of the night, when Ren Tianyang was a little disappointed, the sea surface changed.
At five o'clock in the morning, the ship began to start a fire. And the destroyer was divided into two parts, and one part had already begun to enter Fangchenggang.
Fangchenggang is located on the west side of Qinzhou Bay, where the gateway of Qinzhou Bay is located, and it is obvious that the little devil's actions are very safe, and he is ready to take the gateway of Qinzhou Bay first.
Ren Tianyang watched, and the two heavy cruisers of the Yue Army also entered Fangchenggang later. But he could not attack, and even if he did, it would be difficult to hit the cruiser. The little devils are careful, and the cruiser is flanked by destroyers.
The military fleet was really careful enough, and when the troop carriers entered Fangchenggang, they were placed in the middle, with battleships on both sides. Ren Tianyang scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, watching the fat slipped away from his eyes piece by piece.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the warships had already launched an attack on the fortified city. The rumbling sound of cannon rang out for dozens of miles, and even the Pixiu under the sea could be heard.
The main gun of the heavy cruiser is 203mm caliber, and the shell weighs nearly 100 kilograms, which is extremely terrifying. Ren Tianyang doesn't need to see it with his own eyes, he can think of the scene on the battlefield, the sound of artillery can be transmitted for dozens of miles, and the power can be imagined. Thousands of kilometers underwater, the fighters could feel the hum of the water.
The Pixiu spent three hours in anxiety, while the cannon on the battlefield kept ringing.
At ten o'clock, the fleet of the army on the ocean changed again. Two light cruisers and four destroyers again sailed into Fangchenggang.
Intelligence from the Naval Resistance Force played a role. Historically, only one infantry regiment was stationed in Fangcheng Port, with only two old shore guns. In the face of the unsuspecting Chinese army, the army and navy fought in a joint operation, and almost immediately defeated the Chinese army.
Now it is completely different, Bai Chongxi not only mobilized the strength of two infantry regiments in Fangcheng, but also mobilized half of the cannons of the Gui family for the defense of Fangcheng Port. And more reinforcements are still being mobilized to defend the city.
Although the cannons left in Gui's hometown are all old artillery, the power of more than ten cannons cannot be underestimated. The artillery of the battleships was strong, but the artillery positions of the Gui army were scattered and there were good defensive positions, so it was difficult to suppress the Chinese army for a while. It is said that the beach-grabbing units of this army are now suppressed by all kinds of artillery and mortars of the Chinese army, and it is difficult to advance an inch.
Takasu Shiro forced the seaplanes to take off in the rain for air support, and then mobilized two light cruisers and four destroyers. It was hoped that the land would be covered by absolute superior artillery fire.
At eleven o'clock, the Pixiu was presented with four seaplane carriers and two destroyers, and the rest were unprotected troop carriers. Ren Tianyang was overjoyed, and his eyes that had stayed up all night bloomed with a terrifying brilliance. At this time, Ren Tianyang was like drinking xx oral liquid, and all his fatigue was swept away. Immediately ordered the Pixiu to approach quietly.
Ren Tianyang's behavior was so careful that the Pixiu didn't even dare to use the silent speed, and the large-diameter propeller only approached quietly at a speed of three revolutions per minute.
In less than three nautical miles, the Pixiu advanced at a low speed for an hour. Ren Tianyang was extremely bold, he did not fire at all when he crossed the four small aircraft carriers.
Instead, he quietly touched the core of the fleet. Waiting for the Pixiu to quietly poke out of the periscope, Ren Tianyang forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, meat, all meat.
Around the Pixiu were at least thirty troop carriers, and a little further away were four small aircraft carriers. In a submarine attack, the selection of targets is undoubtedly the most valuable.
If you talk about warships on the sea, there must be four small aircraft carriers, but the troop carriers are full of devils. Any troop transport ship must have one or two hundred devil soldiers. In the face of so much fat, Ren Tianyang finally used the greatest defeat in his life.
Defenseless, Pixiu No. 1 fired eight torpedoes in five minutes. But it was eight ships that were fired. Four of them were aimed at four small aircraft carriers, and four were fired at troop carriers.
Takasu Shiro was complacent, after several warships joined the other side of the fire, the Chinese artillery was quickly destroyed, the forward positions of the Chinese army were also swept away by the huge power of the naval guns, and the infantry of the 9th Brigade of the 5th Division of the Chinese Army was already developing in depth. Everything is so beautiful, it won't take much time for the defense city to be trampled under the feet of the Great Imperial Army.
Boom, boom, boom.
There were eight loud bangs in a row, and Takasu Shiro's heart and liver contracted.
On the sea, all eight torpedoes of the Pixiu were shot, which exceeded Ren Tianyang's expectations. Due to the fact that the Pixiu was a central flowering tactic and a series of torpedo tactics, the destroyers on the periphery did not figure out the reason at all in the continuous explosions, and were even looking around, looking for the Chinese army's heavy artillery.
It is said that the military fleet is stationed in the sea area, which is less than ten nautical miles from the coast, and if there is heavy artillery, it can still hit it. In the devil's first reaction, it was a sneak attack by the heavy artillery of the Chinese army.
After the torpedo was fired, the Pixiu dived rapidly. Taking advantage of the chaos, Ren Tianyang savagely increased the submarine to the maximum speed of 16.5 knots and quickly fled south.
At this time, the sea was already a sea of fire, and the army was in a panic. Especially the devils on the troop carriers, they are the army, and many of them can't swim at all, so they scream in fright.
The Fifth Division of the Army is the elite of the elite in the army, but it is on land, and its performance in the sea is not as good as that of any Marine Corps (note that the Marine Corps is not an elite and its combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the Army. )
The four hitted troop carriers had already begun to enter the water, and the devil soldiers jumped into the sea like dumplings. After a while, the sea was crowded with people. On other troop carriers, the devils shot into the sky and into the sea as if they were bombing the camp. Even heavy machine guns, light machine guns, began to shoot at the surface of the sea.
Terror is contagious, and in less than ten minutes, the gunfire on the sea is continuous, which is denser than the firecrackers of the Spring Festival.
The devils of the Fifth Division were demoralized by this attack, and they were killed and drowned more than 300 before they could land. There are even many devils who suffer from phobia, and even refuse to operate at sea, especially the Fifth Fleet.
All four small aircraft carriers were torpedoed, and now there is billowing wolf smoke.
By this time, the two destroyers had not figured out what had been attacked. But no matter what the attack is, it's better to save people as soon as possible.
There are quite a few of the Army's troops floating on the surface of the sea, and these Army Corps are now performing altars, shouting, "Don't drink, don't drink." "Goo Dong is a mouthful of seawater.
The destroyers were busy rescuing people and ships, and the escape process of the Pixiu was extremely smooth. But it seems to be brilliant, but the results are over, and after this battle, Ren Tianyang was severely criticized by Li Guang. Ren Tianyang was too greedy, and he hit all eight torpedoes, and his results were very good. But none of them hit the vital point, and not even a single one of the troop carriers was sunk. The results of this attack also surprised Li Guang, knowing that a torpedo charge of 200 kilograms did not blow up and sink a ship, and this cannot but say the wonder of the war.
Under normal circumstances, in addition to warships, it is difficult for a 10,000-ton giant ship to withstand the blow of a torpedo. It can be seen from this that the design of the troop carrier of the Yue Army is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary merchant ships. This also reminded the Maritime Resistance Army that if it deals with the troop carriers of the Japanese army in the future, they must add some materials.
Ren Tianyang reviewed it afterwards, and at that moment, he didn't know how to be confused, so he actually chose eight targets at a time. If only four targets are chosen, even if only four troop carriers are chosen, the result is absolutely brilliant.
When Ren Tianyang officially served as the captain of Pixiu No. 2, Li Guang wrote two big characters "sunk" crookedly in the command cabin.
The attack by the Naval Resistance Army halted the pace of the Chinese army's attack on Guangxi and gave the Chinese army some time to arrange defense. And although Takasu Shiro was scolded by the army, he was not dismissed. The reason is that eight ships were injured, not one was sunk, and they can continue to be used when they are pulled back for repair.
After experiencing this blow, Takasu Shiro knew the horror of the Naval Resistance Army, and if eight ships were sunk, he would have to be removed from his post and investigated even if he did not commit suicide by disembowelment. Since then, he has begun to regret coming to serve in the Fifth Fleet, and knows why his predecessor left the Fifth Fleet in such a hurry. I also began to learn from Kondo Nobutake, and I was ready to change positions.
One night, Takasu Shiro, the commander of the Fifth Fleet, took a sip of sake and sighed depressedly to Tsukicho: "The people of Shina are so hateful, why do you only attack the Fifth Fleet?" Didn't the commander of the Naval Resistance Army know the beauty of balance? To attack, it should also be an average attack on the naval fleet. ”
