Chapter 760 Air Raid on Yingkou
Although the helicopter did not have a large enough bomb to blow up the warship, it was easy and pleasant to attack the deck and strangle those who were on the dock, and the Japanese troops on the dock were relaxed and pleasant, besides, when these planes took off, Dong Ku asked them to bring thermite incendiary bombs produced by the Japanese army, and those useless things that were placed in the warehouse were just used to warm the Japanese army, to ensure that the ships on the sea did not dare to approach the dock, and the artillery would follow. The shore guns, far beyond the range of the Japanese artillery, will block the counterattack of the Japanese naval guns and completely retain the Japanese troops and supplies on the dock.
It's a pity that the helicopter has a limited range, starting from Shenyang, arriving at Yingkou without asking and problematic, and the fuel is enough for half an hour of fierce fighting, but Ya Sou is to attack Shushun and Dalian, then it is a little reluctant, it can only be 180 guilds to Yingkou, and you can change your love troops and supplies to keep up, and then attack Lushun.
Along the way, the trucks were unlucky, and under the constant strafing of the helicopters, the whole line was paralyzed, leaving behind a dragon of trucks all over the ground. The armored units did not stop at all, whistling through the snow next to these convoys, rushing forward quickly. They had to rush to Yingkouhui and Dandong as soon as possible to keep the Japanese army and supplies.
At this time, the Japanese army in Jinzhou had collapsed, and after they learned that Shenyang had fallen and Lieutenant General Yoshimoto had lost the news, they retreated on all fronts according to the instructions of the Japanese high-level, and left quickly in the dark night, going straight to Yingkou, preparing to retreat. The Japanese troops along the way, too, did not dare to stop at all, and quickly rushed to the nearest evacuation site, trying to leave here before the advance force could chase them.
And the docks, by this time, had stopped loading ships on those bulky machinery, and began to load soldiers and critical supplies, on the docks, on the seaside. Everywhere there were piles of materials and machinery that were ready to be thrown away, and those trucks were thrown aside, waiting for the withdrawn army to rush to Dandong and evacuate by land in North Korea.
In the dark night, Du Yuming has occupied Chaoyang and eats. Mechanized troops are rushing to Tongliao. Just when the troops were constantly gathering from afar, he suddenly received a report from the front, saying that the Japanese army had begun to retreat, the lights on the position were completely gone, the observation post had reached the bottom, and there was no shadow of the Japanese army, and it was estimated that he had been walking for at least half an hour.
Ran away?
Du Yuming was stunned for a while. In his impression, the ferocious Japanese army retreated when he died?
But he you see that Nick believes that he has it, and he can't let go of the opportunity to easily occupy Jinzhou. So he ordered a regiment to quietly touch the position, to test to see if the reaction of the Japanese army was a trap.
Ten minutes later, the regiment that sent Lu came with the news that the gates of Jinzhou City were open in all directions, and the figures running around the streets were not visible, but they could not see the shadow of the Japanese army. The Japanese had been gone for twenty minutes, and they were in a hurry. There are only a handful of puppet troops here. At this time, there was chaos in the city, and smashing and robbing were happening everywhere.
Du Yuming was overjoyed, and quickly gave an order to the regiment, asking them to be vigilant on the spot, and the rioters were punished on the spot and blocked the city gate. Don't go out, take over the position of important departments, and keep an eye on all supplies.
After giving the order, the army approached the whole line in just twenty minutes, and took Jinzhou without blood.
Meantime. Send a telegram to Lao Jiang, report that after several hours of fierce fighting, after taking Chifeng and Chaoyang, Jinzhou was captured.
It was less than ten o'clock, and Lao Jiang was very excited when he received the telegram, and praised Du Yuming again and again for his courage in battle and his meritorious service.
At the same time, the battle in Zaozhuang had ended, and when a brigade from Yangzhou arrived, a brigade from Xuzhou had already assisted Lao Zhao in laying down the Japanese position in front of Zaozhuang. The battle was fierce, but it did not come under much pressure, annihilating the strength of one brigade there and crushing another. The army attacked in three directions, launched an attack on Yanzhou, Qufu, and Linyi, and pursued the fleeing Japanese army overnight.
And Yangzhou's troops arrived at Lianyun, they just arrived, this side has ended the battle, they quickly advanced, the flank approached Linyi, according to the original plan to go straight to Qingdao.
At this time, Zhao Liqiang was already only 100 kilometers away from Lianyun, and the troops at the head of the line could reach Lianyun, so the troops in Yangzhou were not worried about logistics, and their task was to advance quickly.
At this time, there were still Japanese troops along the Yellow River in Shandong, Japanese troops in Zaozhuang and Linyi in Yanzhou, and there were no Japanese troops in the hinterland, even Jinan. At this time, the strength of the troops in Shandong will be less than two divisions, and at this time, important materials will also be transported.
After all, the pressure here is less than that of the northeast, the number of materials is small, the number of expatriates is small, and the speed of retreat is extraordinarily fast.
At this time, Huang Baitao did not know the situation in Shandong Province, and after a day of shelling, the Japanese troops guarding the Yellow River Bridge were already miserable. Just when he was about to rest for one night and take the Yellow River Bridge tomorrow, the loud noise of his life shocked him.
Soon, news came from the front that the Japanese army had blown up the bridge in the southern section of the Yellow River Bridge, and had completely cut off the road through the Yellow River.
Can't hold it?
Huang Baitao pondered and ordered: "Collect all the fishing boats within dozens of kilometers in the vicinity, and prepare to force the crossing tomorrow!" ”
At this time, there was no Japanese army here on the Yellow River Bridge, and the explosion was also a blast completed by a Japanese squad left, and the Japanese troops here had been ordered to retreat and withdraw to Qingdao.
The Japanese army here in Shandong is destined to be unable to grasp the main force, but on the northeast side, it is difficult for the Japanese army to escape. The distance of one hundred and eighty kilometers was not needed for an hour when the helicopter came, so it rushed to Yingkou.
At this time, the camp was like a big assembly, the lights were flickering, the figures were weaving, there was chaos everywhere, shouts everywhere, and those battleships were parked outside the harbor, not in front. They have already shipped enough soldiers and certain supplies for them to escort the freighter.
In the midst of the noise, a strange roar of motors drowned out the noise, and then the front line spread the alarm of an enemy attack. They've just been abused by a helicopter, and they're still on the run.
The news of the air raid caused the wharf to be fried instantly, and all the lights went out in a matter of seconds. The Japanese lost order in the darkness and frantically crowded the freighter, as if they would be able to survive if they got on board.
But what about the helicopter raids? A dive that takes a few seconds to return?
As the roar got closer and closer, suddenly. Pillars of light flashed, followed by a buzz, and tongues of fire erupted more than half a meter long in the sky, and the bullets rushed to the pier impenetrable.
The dense rain of bullets sent the blood mist of the panicked Japanese soldiers below flying, and the screams came and went.
The Japanese also tried to mount machine guns to counterattack, but hundreds of planes appeared on the docks.
As soon as they appeared. They all skimmed at a low altitude, and in the roar of bullets, they straightened those freighters, and then one by one 100 kilograms of bombs poured down, and in the loud bang, the thin-skinned freighters ignited a fire.
In the firelight, the Japanese soldiers who boarded the ship screamed and jumped into the icy sea one after another. The ship he was on was about to sink.
Helicopter bombs can't deal with warships, they are too small, but it's easy to blow up these mixed theories, and when a bomb goes down, the deck is a big hole, and the fire immediately illuminates the harbor.
In the rain of bullets flying everywhere, the machine guns that had just burst into flames were torn apart, and the counterattack became a joke. The wharf is deep and you are singing, and the fire is blazing on the sea. In the midst of the screams and shocks, those Japanese soldiers had lost the confidence to resist except for hiding. They could not resist the dense fire that seemed to be fired by a dozen machine guns together, and they could not resist the rain of bullets circling left and right and flying rapidly, and they could only flee for their lives. Without any other thoughts, no one would even think about boarding.
In the distance, the Japanese warship anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns were raised to full marks, but they did not dare to get too close. Maneuvering in the harbor is limited, and they are not willing to put their huge hull in the harbor to be bombed. After all, the Japanese still don't know how powerful the bombing of the advance force of the road is, and of course they don't know that the largest bomb carried by the god of killing is only 100 kilograms, a large shell. Without the acceleration of the flight, this bomb would be of no use if it landed on a battleship, unless it fell into the chimney and destroyed the boiler, otherwise it would be just a firework.
Seeing a flash of fire on the sea in the distance, the helicopter led the team to discover the warship, and the anti-aircraft guns on the warship had already begun to shoot, but due to the long distance and the dark sky, it was impossible to lock on, so it was difficult to pose a threat to them.
But even so, the anti-aircraft guns of the warships were not without threat, so after discovering the target, a group of helicopters quickly pounced on the outside of the port, and then, the flares illuminated the sea, making it difficult for the moving warships to hide.
Sample! Warm you guys!!
The soldiers on the helicopter laughed and laughed, hovering around the helicopter and approaching the warship, the bullets rained down, and the anti-aircraft machine guns that hit could not stand people, and then, the bomb magazine of the transport plane opened, and one bomb after another screamed and fell towards the battleship.
The Japanese battleships obviously did not expect the advance army's aircraft to fire so fiercely, and with just one shot, they suppressed the anti-aircraft machine guns on the ship, and in the dark, those anti-aircraft guns did not have much effect, and the captain was startled when they could not enter, and ordered to move quickly to avoid being sunk by bombs.
But it was too late for them to want to leave, and in the whimpering scream, one after another thermite incendiary bombs exploded on the deck, although the sound was not loud, but the firelight illuminated the entire battleship, and the four battleships of Liansu caught fire, although it was not burning, but the fire made the Japanese soldiers on the battleship terrified. They knew that this was a thermite incendiary bomb, and one or two of them were not good for a huge battleship, and they could not burn through the armor of the battleship, but they could not hold much, and once the fire formed on the deck, then you could burn the battleship.
In the panicked shouting, the battleship desperately returned fire with anti-aircraft guns, the anti-aircraft guns fired at the vague figures chasing the sky, and the water cannons on the other side quickly dispatched to extinguish the burning flames.
They reacted very correctly and quickly, and the flames were quickly extinguished. After all, thermite is not his own combustible substance, he needs a carrier for combustion, so it is very quick to extinguish, and in just a few minutes, the battleship will fall into darkness.
Dong Ku had already thought of this, they didn't want to blow up and sink these warships, he wanted to force the battleships away, and pack up the cargo ships in the port with peace of mind, so that it would be difficult for those cargo ships to carry away supplies and the Japanese army.
When there was still light on the helicopter station, it flew low and dropped bombs. But the bombs landed on the deck and did not explode, but popped and popped with the cracking sound of water balloons, and a strange smell permeated the air.
This is the smell of six six powder, this is gasoline with six six powder, this is the fuel in the flamethrower, it is packed in plastic barrels and thrown on the deck.
Bombs were dropped at close range, under fire intercepted by the Japanese. A helicopter was hit, and a brilliant firework exploded in the sky, burning, and the wreckage fell to the sea.
Before the Japanese could cheer, a bomb fell again, accompanied by a bomb. There are also bombs in the valley pass, and then the otaku came, the bomb exploded, although the sound was not loud, but the boom ignited a skyrocketing fire, the flames swallowed up the Japanese soldiers who were busy fighting the fire on the deck, along with those anti-aircraft machine gunners, the close anti-aircraft gunners were not spared, at the moment when the flames rose. Engulfed in flames.
Amid the miserable screams, the Japanese warships were stunned and fled in horror. This fire was enough to ignite the battleship, and once the fire entered the cabin, it could not be controlled.
At the moment when the second destroyer caught fire, the Japanese battleships could no longer hold on, and they increased their horsepower and fled into the sea.
Helicopters don't chase either. At the cost of two crashes, I love you to drive away more than a dozen warships, large and small. It's just a pity that there are no aircraft carriers here, or else, aircraft carriers are easy to ignite.
Without the interference of the warships, the slaughter in the harbor entered a climax. Under the bomb heads, the lively ones burst into flames. Although they did not sink, they showed their fragile bodies in front of all the helicopters.
Looking at the fire below, one oil drum after another fell again, and then in the roaring fire, one after another the freighter burst into flames. The oil drums that fell on the surface of the sea also shattered, and the flames spread, and the entire sea surface was full of skyrocketing firelight, illuminating the sky of Yingkou Port.
The Japanese soldiers who jumped into the sea were wrapped in flames and fluttered rapidly, allowing themselves to be roasted out of oil, and then contributed their strength in the burning.
The fire spreads rapidly, and the freighter will be desperate to flee and try to dig out of this hell.
But the soldiers did not intend to spare any of the freighters, they chased the freighters, dropped bombs and oil drums, and let the freighters drag the flames out of the harbor.
Even if they leave the port, they will not be able to stock, because the bombs have already exploded the deck, and of course the interior will be ignited, and their chances of survival are slim.
Sure enough, when the helicopters turned over and returned to the port dock to join the killing feast, there was an explosion on the sea in the distance. Freighters were ignited in their boilers and exploded in a devastating fire.
At this time, the dock was full of messes, stumps and broken flesh everywhere. The Japanese suffered numerous casualties, not only did the freighter lose more than a dozen, but the trucks that were in the distance were also discovered by helicopters, and they were all blown up, and the blazing fire lit up the sky.
Those Japanese troops who had just withdrawn from the vicinity of Jinzhou did not die on the battlefield, but they were strangled by air raids for nearly half of them, and the wails everywhere were not miserable.
The helicopter wreaked havoc on the pier at Yingkou for more than half an hour, the bullets were poured clean, and the bombs were dropped, and then they roared towards the supply troops behind.
An air raid lost seven planes, but destroyed the Japanese airfield, anti-aircraft artillery positions, the port, and almost all the cargo ships in the port, as well as the countless Japanese troops. As for the specific figures, it is already difficult to count, and the corpses floating on the sea surface of the port show that one brigade is not enough to eat.
However, those warships, after escaping into the deep sea, confirmed that the enemy planes were not chasing, so they extinguished the remaining flames on the ship, but most of the anti-aircraft machine guns were also burned, and all the facilities on the surface of the ship, even Cambridge was baptized by fire, and the glass was blown apart. And the faces of the people are full of gunsmoke, and the expressions of horror are like the little ghosts in hell.
The helicopter returned all the way back without any obstacles, and when it saw the headlights below, the call confirmed its identity, and then it landed on the ready-to-use supply points one by one, and began to refuel, reload ammunition and bombs.
On the way, Dong Ku learned that the Japanese troops had not even had time to take off, and they were all left at the airport, and he was very satisfied with the air raid. But at the same time, he received that Du Yuming had been stationed in Jinzhou, but he still stopped and did not pursue and intercept, but stopped at the Jinzhou Battle Station.
"Yes! What the hell are you playing in the game!! ”
Dong Ku scolded after receiving the news.
If Du Yuming advances, it is much closer than his armored troops to the Yingkou, and it can completely play a role in interception, where like them, 180 kilometers, no matter how fast it is, it will take five hours.
Zuo Boyang and Liu Yucheng glanced at each other, they had already understood Du Yuming's intentions, just to avoid Dong Ku from saying other ideas.
They knew that Du Yuming's plan was to occupy Shanhaiguan and get a piece of the pie in the northeast, rather than really fighting the Japanese army.
Especially in Liucheng, he had learned that Chaoyang and Chifeng had fallen into the hands of Du Yuming, and Du Yuming's two divisions were approaching Tongliao. Originally, Liu Chengcheng also wanted Liu Canghao from Changling to break through to Tongliao, but after thinking about it, Zhilu Dao Dongku had no concept of territory, and his mind was full of calculations about how to destroy the Japanese army, so there was no extraneous branch, otherwise, Du Yuming's army would never have been able to get Tongliao.
Dong Ku was very annoyed that Du Yuming did not contribute to the work, and he said in the command car: "Order the troops to deploy after the Panshan Panjin is defeated, we don't need him Du Yuming to participate in the war, and he doesn't have to worry about dividing the territory, Lao Tzu has no time to play games!"
