Chapter 168: The Wanderer Returns Home

The "Weihaiwei Naval School in North China" is commonly known as the training camp by the local people, and it is nominally a naval school set up by the puppet government of Beiping, but in fact it is completely controlled by the Japanese, with nearly 600 cadets.

In addition, on Liugong Island, there are also the North China Port Command of the Wang Puppet Navy, the Japanese Navy Guidance Department, etc. The commander is Bao Yimin, commander of the North China Port Command of the puppet navy.

All the Japanese troops plus the puppet army were only armed with about 1,000 men, and the largest ships were the "Tongchun" transport ship and some transport boats.

Attacking such an island is really like a leisurely walk for the 2nd Brigade of the Navy. The Hailong carrier-based aircraft squadron on the Boyan blocked the sea passage between Liugong Island and Weihaiwei, while the Wing Loong squadron bombed the beachhead fortifications in Weihaiwei, and the Poison Dragon squadron cooperated with the marines to land on the iron pier of Liugong Island.

The amphibious landing ship Zibu smashed the old batteries on both sides of the dock with naval guns, and then opened the dock baffle, and more than a dozen walrus amphibious tanks and clouded leopard amphibious armored vehicles rumbled into the shallow water, and the tank guns and heavy machine guns fired together to suppress the firepower of the shore fortifications, while the poisonous dragons in the sky dropped aerial bombs in rows, and in addition to the bombing, they also caused a smoke effect, so that the Japanese troops in the fortifications could not see the sea situation at all, and the shooting range was greatly affected.

This unintentional move was then extended to the whole army by the Marine Corps, and smoke bombs became one of the most powerful weapons for landing.

The landing on Liugong Island of the Second Brigade of the Marine Corps can be called a classic battle of killing chickens with knives! The commander of the Northern Fleet, Longzhou, estimated the Han army's defense in the Weihaiwei area -- how much strength could the navy have to defend a naval base when the Japanese navy was already extinct in the East China Sea? The army defenders of a wing of Weihaiwei did not have the allocation of troops on Liugong Island at all, and all of them were stationed in the tidal flat fortifications of the Weihai Acropolis.

What is even more surprising is that after the Marine Brigade launched a beach-grabbing offensive, the Japanese troops were in disarray, and the gunfire in one position was still the same, but it was aimed at the Japanese troops in other fortifications.

"Infighting?" The amphibious combat vehicle unit of the Marine Corps of course accepted this gift to the door, and adjusted the muzzles of the guns to bombard the positions that were still resisting, until more and more walruses and clouded leopards drove up the iron docks. The whole process of landing took more than 20 minutes.

In the command room of the Zhongmou, the steak on the plate had not been wiped out, and the staff officer broke in to report the situation, and the fleet commander Long Da Fat was a little dissatisfied, and said with a mouth full of fatty beef: "Let them wait, wait for Lao Tzu to finish lunch......

The staff officers came to ask for instructions, and it was the students of the Beiping puppet government naval academy who were incorporated into the coastal positions by the Japanese army before the war, but these young people from the coastal areas of Jiaodong directly turned back in the battle and aimed their guns at the Japanese and puppet troops. After the landing battle at the pier, the cadets demanded that the landing force recognize their identity as an uprising and apply to join the Han Navy.

Seeing the staff officer salute out, Long Zhou awkwardly used a knife to deal with the steak, and muttered: "Also Nima uprising?" What do you think about when you eat and drink with little devils? ”

With the iron dock as a stronghold, the walrus and clouded leopards made an all-out assault, and the infantry on the landing craft quickly took control of the strategic points and cleared the remnants of the enemy. The pilots of the poisonous dragon fighters were bored, so they simply turned around and threw all the bombs on the tidal flat positions of the Weihai Acropolis.

When Commander Long finally finished eating the steak and swore that he would never use this bullshit fork knife again in the future, the second brigade headquarters of the Marine Corps had been successfully stationed in the puppet North China Port Command, which was the former Beiyang Fleet's Admiral's Mansion, and the so-called Supreme Commander of Liugong Island, Bao Yimin, with a group of little traitors, nodded and stood in a row with a smile on his face to welcome the liberation of Liugong Island by the Marine Corps. It's just that no matter how flattering the smile on his face is, he can't hide his calves that are shaking wildly, as well as the dazzling black pseudo-military uniform.

To the surprise of the Japanese army, the Han army did not rush to launch an attack on Weihaiwei, except for the bombs thrown by the poisonous dragon fighters that were so boring that they were so painful that they did not even have the shelling that should have been there before landing. The Han army seemed to be satisfied when they captured Liugong Island, "Nani? Are they going to pay homage to those defeated generals on Liugong Island? Isn't this scientific? "The Japanese wing captain Yoshikawa was a little puzzled, the artillery fire was too fierce to stand it, but there was not a single cannon sound, which was even more embarrassing! Yoshikawa thought about it for a long time or pulled out the call for help, and the call reached Lieutenant General Yanagawa Tei, commander of the 59th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Jinan, facing several port cities that had to be defended, and Liuchuan Tei, who lacked major generals, was also anxious, and the Han army launched an attack from the sea, and with the shape of the Jiaodong Peninsula, it seemed that any place could be used as a landing point, and any place could be a battlefield.

Captain Yoshikawa's phone call was a solution to his problem, and Lieutenant General Yanagawa snapped and pressed his hand on the map, "Yo West!" It was here that the 54th Wing was notified to quickly support Wendeng and build a deep defense line with the 53rd Wing in Weihai. Then call the headquarters of the Beiping Front Army and inform His Excellency Commander Tada that the Han army has landed in Weihai and ask for tactical guidance from the Air Force. ”

The 54th Wing is the last mobile force in the entire Shandong, and the chief of staff of the 59th Division, Takebe Matsuo Daisa, feels a little inappropriate about the division commander's decision, but the Han army has captured Liugong Island as an advance base, and reinforcement of Weihaiwei is necessary. Takebe Matsuo shook his head, said nothing, and motioned to Yuji Murakami, a staff officer in charge of recording orders, to carry out the order of the division commander.

The transfer of the 54th Wing, of course, could not escape the "clairvoyance" of the Linglong carrier-based reconnaissance plane, and the news that the Japanese army used the Jiaoji Railway to reinforce overnight was transmitted back to the Zhongmou, and the big fat man put down the cookies in his hand, "I have eaten for two days, and I have killed Lao Tzu!" It's time to get to work! Inform Colonel Guan Canghai that the wanderer has returned to his hometown, starting now. ”

Taking advantage of the lack of Japanese naval power, Long Zhou chose to shoot in Weihaiwei, and only the 2nd Marine Brigade and the aircraft carrier Boyo remained on Liugong Island, and of course, Long Fatzi's Northern Fleet command ship Zhongmou. The battleship Fengxian and several other big guys also stayed here, so that the Japanese army judged that this was the main force of the Northern Fleet, while the three aircraft carriers Gongjin, Zijing, and Ziming, and the two heavy cruisers Xingba and Ziyi, as well as most of the destroyers and frigates, continued to go north to cover the first landing of the main force - the 16th Army of Qingzhou, and their target was Yantai, a wolf-smoke pier built by the ancient anti-Japanese people!
