Chapter 234: Sneak Attack and Sneak Attack

The soldiers in yellow uniform were the Japanese army, they were the first and second brigades of the 24th Wing under Miyake Mitsuji, and they passed through Guò for a full quarter of an hour on the road that the Soviet Russian army had to pass, and after coming to the open field, under the command and order of the squad commanders, they formed a skirmish line and launched an attack on Vladivostok.

The skirmish line was originally lined up in a loose offensive formation when attacking the defensive position, in order to effectively reduce the casualty rate, but the infantry code stipulates that the attack must be advanced in a skirmish formation, so they still habitually lined up the skirmish formation when facing an empty front.

However, this good habit saved them, and another quarter of an hour later, when they were about to enter the city, the front suddenly opened fire, and the dense bullet trajectory crossed the night sky one by one, like weaving a fire net, and the Japanese soldiers who rushed to the front were caught off guard and fell to the ground, but due to the loose formation, the casualties were limited, and the experienced Japanese soldiers saw that there was strong fire blocking in front of them, and immediately lay down and changed to crawling forward,

This attack was supposed to be personally commanded by the chief of staff of the 24th Wing, Tsukada Tsukata Takeda, but for some unknown reason, Tsukada Daisa, who had always been punctual, did not meet with the two brigades at the designated place, so according to the usual practice, Koichi Matsumoto of the first brigade temporarily took over his command of the two brigades.

The sneak attack that should have been very smooth, reversed into a tough attack in ten minutes, which gave Matsumoto a big headache, as an outstanding graduate of the Imperial 6th Army University, he was among the best in various assessments over the years, the only thing that made him regret was that he didn't really go to the battlefield, a few months ago in the 6th battle of Vladivostok, due to the vacation and his miss, he finally did not miss this attack, and after really entering the combat state, he was surprised that the current battle was completely different from what he had deduced in previous exercises,

The squadron appeared in an impossible position, this is the first major difference, and the hypothetical enemy squadron in the deduction did not have such a strong firepower, according to his rough observation and statistics, at least fifty hydrostatic heavy machine guns were arranged on this defense line of less than 5oo meters, and the dense barrage weaved an almost impassable line of fire.

At the same time that Matsumoto Koichi gritted his teeth and insisted on thinking of countermeasures, the rumbling cannon sound sounded from the opposite position, which turned out to be the 41 mountain cannon produced by the empire, and he had to give the order again, and all the soldiers stopped advancing and lay on the spot,

The shells swept from the front of the position like a rake plowing the ground, and went straight to Matsumoto Koichi, he felt that his legs were trembling, and even a little disobedient, he even instinctively wanted to turn around and run, but the glory of the emperor told him that he couldn't do this, if he turned around and ran away, he would be a coward who was shameful to everyone, not only he might be sent to a military court, but his family would also be disgraced because of it,

So, Koichi Matsumoto gritted his teeth and survived the baptism of the shells, and finally luckily survived without damage, he shook off the sand on his face, saw that the opponent's firepower was significantly weakened, and gave an order: "Attack, attack." ”

After shouting these four words, he felt that the brave soul of the samurai had returned to him, and his soldiers rushed to the position of the Shina people one after another, regardless of life and death, which made him feel extremely ashamed in his heart, ashamed that he had the idea of running away.

At the same time, there was a faint sound of artillery in the south, it was the Imperial 6th Army that cooperated here to fight again along the beach in the south of the city, right? Matsumoto muttered to himself, the bullet whizzed through his body, and a guard suddenly spurted out a stream of blood like a water gun around his neck, splashing his head all over his face, Matsumoto had never seen such a tragic scene, the soldier's blood made him lose the last bit of reason, and rushed to the front frantically, and the soldier's morale was immediately pulled up again because of the frustration of the attack, and he rushed towards the position of the people of China with a roar,

The Japanese rushed to the front only to realize that there were not many people in this line of defense except for a large number of heavy machine guns, that is to say, as long as they rushed through, victory must belong to the Imperial 6th Army, and victory was in sight, and the heavy machine guns in several places had been muted because of the overheating, and the soldiers finally accelerated the impact without scruples.

……

The Hanoi's twin turrets rotated from time to time to adjust and shoot Zhu Yuan, and then with the violent vibration of the hull, a fireball with a diameter of more than 20 meters erupted from the barrel of the 36o mm caliber, and the warhead of nearly 500 kilograms left the muzzle with the first sound of the sound, drawing a perfect parabola and landing on the ground in the distance.

The officer in charge of observing and directing the shooting in the command room of the No. 1 turret was puzzled, the well-trained sailors of the Imperial Navy could not have fired such a substandard gun, but it was real, and when he was about to give the order to shoot again, the hull of the ship shook violently again, and he almost fell to the ground, but as the vibration ended the familiar sound of the shelling, and the sound of the cannonball breaking through the air did not sound,

The commanding officer finally realized the strangeness of the matter, put his mouth close to the microphone, and roared angrily: "Bastard, is this the shooting level of the Imperial sailors, all out of target, what happened to the shot that was made up just now." ”

Soon the voice of the sailor's ashamedness came back from the microphone: "Your Excellency Shaozuo, we are completely in strict accordance with the drill code for shooting, I really don't know what is wrong, and besides, we only fired one shot just now, and there was no supplementary shot." ”

The commanding officer was confused, where did the vibration come from without a supplementary shot, and suddenly there was a commotion outside the command room, and someone seemed to be shouting in panic.

"Oh no, the ship was shot ...... side"

"Cabin water ingress ......"

Then came the microphone with intermittent screams,

"The ammunition compartment is on fire...... Martyrdom ...... Open the sluice gates ......"

Then there was the sound of rushing water, and then there was a deathly silence, and there was no echo even if the commanding officer shouted through his throat.

"Sailors hear please answer me, hear hear please answer me......"

The officer's heart sank a little, he felt the floor begin to tilt forward, a fact that he was extremely reluctant to admit took shape in his mind, and soon the soldier in charge of the battle damage reported back the news, an unknown fire in the ammunition room of the No. 1 turret ignited the silk medicine bag for shooting the shell, in order to prevent the explosion, the sailor opened the seawater gate at the bottom of the cabin at the last moment, and at the same time closed the waterproof hatch of the turret,

Due to the hundreds of tons of seawater poured into the bow of the battleship, the hull of the ship has begun to tilt forward, and the sudden accident completely disrupted the order on the warship.
