The artillery positions set up by the Japanese army on Huludao were basically not fortified except for the north, northeast, and northwest directions, and the back was facing the sea, except for some sandbags. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and the two single-mounted 120 mm naval guns equipped with the Japanese coastal defense ship have a far range above all Japanese guns except for the two Type 89 long-range cannons.

These two long-range and powerful Japanese designed and manufactured them themselves, and in the hands of the once glorious Japanese Navy, they were at most medium-caliber guns. However, among the small team of the Anti-Japanese Federation, it is the most powerful, the longest-range, and the best naval gun. The key targets of fire were the two Type 89 long-range cannons at the eastern foot of Ma'an Mountain.

The gunboats, which were equipped with German-made Type 33 150-mm infantry guns, were replaced by paratroopers and naval equipment in the Anti-Japanese Union. Although the number of artillery pieces is not large, the number of shells is sufficient, so no one feels sorry for these shells. The only difference is a ship gun temporarily modified with infantry guns, which has a much worse rate of fire than professional naval guns.

This German-made large-caliber infantry gun is powerful, and the range is okay as an infantry gun. With a weight of more than two tons, it is a little heavier as an infantry gun, but it can still be used as a naval gun. But the rate of fire of this infantry gun was too slow, only two to three rounds per minute, which was much worse than that of professional naval guns.

After the battle, the temporary replacement was completely dismantled. The main guns of these gunboats were all converted from the destroyed American-made M IV medium tanks, and the turrets and tank guns were dismantled for use as the front main guns. At the same time, all German-made 150-millimeter infantry guns equipped by the Anti-Union Navy were also withdrawn from front-line operations.

The modified artillery, which was equipped with paratrooper divisions, was also withdrawn from front-line operations. Bulky and short-range, even if the shells are powerful, the limited advantages cannot cover up too many shortcomings. It became a logical thing for this artillery to withdraw from front-line operations ahead of schedule. As for the replacement among the paratroopers, they were replaced by 120-mm mortars, as well as Japanese-style 94 mountain guns.

However, although the German-made 150mm infantry gun, which is temporarily used as the main gun, the rate of fire is a little too slow. At present, however, this small fleet is taking advantage of the fact that although its ships are small in tonnage, they are flexible and have shallow drafts and are easy to turn around, so they can drive as close as possible to the Japanese artillery positions and open fire.

In cooperation with the frontal combat troops, from the flank and rear of the Japanese artillery positions, the Japanese army deployed in the small peninsula of Huludao can be regarded as a devastating blow to the high-density artillery. The rate of fire is slower, but in this case, the power of this 150 mm caliber gun meets the needs. After all, a hundred and fifty mm caliber, where is that.

once launched an attack on Huludao in order to block the Anti-United Nations, and made a great achievement. Its accurate cross-artillery fire, taking advantage of the inherent geographical advantage of the narrow offensive channel, covered every offensive channel of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. As a result, Wang Guangyu's offensive on Huludao progressed slowly, and the casualties were quite light.

But at present, under the dead gaze of the anti-coalition planes in the sky, the Japanese artillery did not dare to transfer their positions. In a situation where there is basically no defense behind the back. I could only watch as my artillery was destroyed by the enemy's shells from the sea behind them.

The Japanese artillery was an unusual headache for these small gunboats with large guns installed in the United Nations. You turn around and want to open artillery suppression, and they immediately withdraw from your artillery position. When you're ready to attack the front of you, the cooler suddenly fires behind you.

In order to eliminate these hateful thieves, who have no bushido demeanor at all, they will only attack behind their backs. The Japanese commander once mobilized artillery in an attempt to conduct a counter-sneak attack operation when the anti-coalition ship group attacked a certain artillery position. Sink all these hateful thieves to the bottom of the sea.

According to the judgment of the Japanese commander, a 75-millimeter field artillery shell was enough to send these small gunboats to the sea as guests. But for Huludao, a small peninsula, the whole terrain is too narrow. Its narrow terrain certainly brings great benefits to the defending side. It didn't take too long for the small fleet of the Anti-Union to circle around the entire peninsula.

Moreover, the commander of the small fleet of the Anti-Japanese Federation seems to have been on guard against the Japanese army. While shelling its heavy artillery clusters, five gunboats equipped with 150-millimeter infantry guns, plus a gunboat from the former puppet Manchurian maritime police force, also quietly appeared in the sea off the west side of the peninsula at the Japanese mountain artillery position.

As soon as the fire was fired from this side, the small fleet of the Anti-Japanese Union immediately covered the Japanese mountain artillery position with accurate and ruthless artillery fire. As a result, the Japanese artillery did not take advantage of the chickens and rice, but destroyed more than half of the artillery. In the ensuing battle, the remaining artillery was either destroyed by the anti-coalition air force on the way to transfer, or destroyed by the ship's artillery on the position.

The fleet knocked out these artillery positions, relieving the frontal attacking anti-coalition forces, relieving enormous pressure. The remaining Japanese army's small number of mountain artillery, infantry artillery, and mortar-based artillery resisted the frontal attack of the United Nations, and the threat was greatly reduced. In the artillery battle of the ensuing battle, the Japanese artillery was no longer able to bring any mortal threat to the anti-coalition offensive forces.

In particular, the destruction of the two Type 89 cannons, which pose a great threat to the depth of the confrontation coalition, ensured the safety of the troops participating in the attack on Huludao, and the safety of the road where ammunition and supplies were delivered. Moreover, without the threat of these two cannons with a range of more than 18,000 meters, the heavy artillery positions of the Anti-United Nations could advance by more than 3,000 meters. The destruction of these two long-range cannons, as well as the howitzer group deployed by the Japanese army in the same area, can be said to have solved Wang Guangyu's big problem.

When fighting against the Japanese artillery positions in Huludao, this small naval fleet of the Anti-Japanese Union was almost crazy. Those former puppet Manchurian soldiers who were strictly taught by the Japanese Navy to operate in strict accordance with the regulations of the Japanese Navy during the operation, and who rebelled against the former puppet Manchurian maritime police force.

Dumbfounded, those small gunboats of the Anti-Japanese Federation dared to venture to a place only a few hundred meters away from the coastline and open fire. At sea, he played the tactics of fighting bayonets with cannons and suppressed the Japanese artillery group with all his might. At the same time, they did not care about the service life of these naval guns at all, and hit the naval guns in their hands with a high rate of fire that they almost dared to imagine.

Inspired by the morale and fighting will of the Anti-Japanese Union, these former puppet Manchurian policemen also showed their spirits. The skills that he had painstakingly trained in the Japanese Navy were also fully displayed. Although it is not as desperate as the anti-union forces, the shooting accuracy of the naval guns is slightly better than that of the sailors who left home halfway through the anti-United Nations.

In particular, the seventy-six-millimeter naval guns on the three gunboats were not large. But the shooting accuracy is accurate and tricky. The coastal defense ships and gunboat groups that cooperated with the Anti-Japanese Union inflicted great casualties on the Japanese ground artillery. These former puppet Manchurian policemen, who had not yet changed their military uniforms, performed quite well in this battle.

This small fleet of ships and equipped with light ships is a small fleet that exerts great power when it cooperates with frontal forces. In particular, it played a decisive role in the destruction of Japanese artillery positions. Wang Guangyu, who has been unable to break through the frontal defense of the Japanese army, has a bold plan in his heart.

He immediately reported to Yang Zhen and was approved by the headquarters. Let this small fleet install an infantry regiment in Jinzhou, avoid the Japanese defense line deployed in the north of Huludao, and force the landing in the south of Huludao by sea, so as to speed up the resolution of the remaining Japanese forces trapped in Huludao.

Although Huludao is only a small peninsula, as the name suggests, the entire terrain is the same as Hulu. The whole terrain slopes from northwest to southeast, with a large tail and a small head, and a narrow middle bend. Despite Wang Guangyu's attack, he successively seized the northern part of the peninsula. But the further south you go, the narrower the terrain becomes. The attacking force could not exert either strength or firepower.

As a result, Wang Guangyu threw in a division of the Anti-Japanese Union and a brigade of Jinchaji, although he had an advantage in troops, but this advantage could not be transformed into an absolute advantage. In particular, the last area, which was seven kilometers east of the Japanese-controlled horse war, was even more narrow and mountainous. Although the altitude is not high, it is not the same thing to gnaw one mountain after another.

Although the main force of the Fourth Army of the Kwantung Army had been wiped out at sea, the Japanese troops holding Huludao had almost no way to retreat. However, the remnants of the Japanese army relied on the mountains on Huludao Island and continued to resist desperately, and every hill had to be fought over repeatedly. For Wang Guangyu's ultimatum, it was as if he hadn't heard it.

Faced with the stubborn resistance of the Japanese army, as well as the unfavorable terrain. Wang Guangyu simply decided to use this small fleet on the spot, install an infantry regiment, adopt a roundabout method by sea to land behind the enemy's army, and adopt the method of flanking the front and rear to completely solve the remaining thousands of Japanese troops.

After obtaining Yang Zhen's approval, Wang Guangyu mobilized the most complete infantry regiment in his unit to board the ship in Xingcheng. However, in the selection of the landing site, Wang Guangyu did not choose other directions, but placed the landing site directly at the Huludao wharf. In order to cover the forced landing of this regiment at the pier, Wang Guangyu mobilized all the tactical aircraft in his hands that could be mobilized.

In the front, a tank regiment was concentrated, plus two infantry regiments to break through on both flanks and force their way to the last area held by the Japanese. Under the cover of German-made 210-mm howitzers that advanced to a depth of three kilometers to the front line, as well as a large number of cover artillery groups, they carried out forced interspersed operations.

After knocking out the two Type 89 long-range cannons, Wang Guangyu's artillery suddenly had much more room for activity on the front line. The red-eyed artillery even pushed those German-made 210-mm howitzers directly to a place only three kilometers away from the forward Japanese positions, and directly bombarded the Japanese defense system.

Wang Guangyu intensified the offensive on the front, so that Mu Dafu Dazuo, a senior staff officer of the Fourth Army of the Kwantung Army who was responsible for commanding the remaining guards, knew that something was wrong, but he could only put most of the last bit of mobile force in his hands, as well as the last anti-tank gun squadron, into the front line of the great wasteland in the north to strengthen the defensive force.

As a senior staff officer in charge of operations of the Fourth Army, Mu Dafu Dazuo had a very uncomfortable feeling about the sudden strengthening of the offensive force of the Anti-Japanese Union in front of him. It is true that the enemy's offensive routes and areas have always been suppressed by the characteristics of their own artillery groups taking advantage of the narrow terrain and the enemy's forces being unable to exert their forces.

It can be said that there was no such large number of artillery and carefully selected advantageous positions to block the enemy's offensive lines with crossfire. In the battle, he inflicted huge casualties on the enemy, and with the help of the geographical advantage, he forced the enemy army to the north of Huludao.

Under the attack of the enemy's tank cluster, the entire Huludao has long been lost. The main force of the Fourth Army did not need to go around the sea again and report to the Sea Dragon King, but would be driven out into the sea directly on the spot. Mu Dazuo didn't think that even if the main force of the army was there, it would withstand it for too long.
