The six large gunboats made by the Anti-Japanese Federation themselves were equipped with 150 mm German-made infantry guns. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Just one shell can blow a sailboat into a pile of wood. A quadruple fourteen-millimeter anti-aircraft machine gun also beat the unarmored sailing ships into a sieve.

The German-made 150-mm infantry guns on these gunboats were only temporarily installed. The original two twin 23 anti-aircraft guns, a quadruple anti-aircraft machine gun, and an additional T26 tank turret. Although it is enough to serve as a guard in the Songhua River. But in this Bohai battlefield, the power is somewhat insufficient.

Therefore, after these gunboats were disassembled and transported to Tanggu by all means, they dismantled a double 23 anti-aircraft gun and temporarily converted it with a German-made 150-mm infantry gun. These infantry guns, which weigh two tons, are indeed heavier for infantry. But for these gunboats of more than 100 tons, the tonnage is still okay.

There is no way, the Anti-Union itself cannot make naval guns. And with just a few gunboats, there is no need to build a naval gun production line. It can only be modified with army artillery, and some large-caliber guns can be added as much as possible within the range that these ships can bear.

Together, these six full load displacements are only the large gunboats the size of the Japanese coastal defense ships, and they are indeed no opponents against the large Japanese ships. But there is no problem with transports that have been temporarily converted from sailboats and trawlers. At the same time, these gunboats equipped with diesel engines, with high horsepower, high speed, and fierce firepower, are definitely super killers against these ships.

In this interception operation, the ships of the former puppet Manchurian maritime police force that rebelled may be eager to make meritorious service and atone for their crimes, or they may be eager to show themselves, and the lethality brought to the Japanese transport fleet is great. The transport gunboat, which had a full load displacement of more than 700 tons, even took advantage of its slightly larger tonnage to directly catch up with those sailing ships and sink them.

Those gunboats took advantage of their speed and agility to intercept Japanese sailing ships on the periphery that wanted to flee in all directions. As long as they are caught up by these small gunboats, a machine gun and a small-caliber naval gun will directly sink the sailing ship they are targeting.

Although the anti-union air force has all returned home after sinking those large transport ships. But the massacre of the Japanese convoy on the sea continued. After several large and medium-sized transport ships, all of which were sunk. The rest of these sailboats can't be beaten, and they can't run away even if they want to run at a slow speed.

The more than 200 sailing boats and trawler-converted transport vessels forcibly requisitioned by the Japanese Navy from the coast of Korea were sunk one by one as if they had been hit at targets. Although the Japanese troops on the ship, using rifle machine guns and even grenadiers, desperately resisted. But those infantry small arms can't hit these ships, and even if they hit, it's like tickling.

After an hour of not too fierce one-sided fighting, the entire sea was littered with floating Japanese corpses, as well as fragments of ships. The Japanese transport fleet, which was not small, except for a trawler, desperately struggled to withdraw to the Huludao shore artillery defense area, and more than 700 people who were salvaged by the Anti-Japanese Union were taken prisoner. All the ships and the tens of thousands of Japanese troops they carried were all buried in the open sea of Lianshan Bay.

As for the Japanese Navy at the Lushun Naval Base, which was also the only coastal defense ship dispatched by the Japanese army, as well as several minesweepers and submarines, they were targeted because they were warships as soon as the anti-United Nations bomber group arrived, and all of them were sunk in a short period of time.

Although these ships are equipped with anti-aircraft artillery. But where can it stop the air strike aircraft group composed of more than 70 dive bombers and light bombers of the Anti-United Nations, plus a squadron of Il-2 attack planes? Within more than ten minutes of the battle, all the escort ships were sunk.

And the sea and air battle here, although the actual details, Iida Shojiro in Huludao at the moment, because the distance is somewhat far is not clear. However, when the raging fire on the Japanese transport ship, which was hit by napalm and burned more and more violently by the sea breeze, the black smoke rising from the sky was clearly visible on Huludao, dozens of kilometers away.

Looking at the black smoke in the telescope, I couldn't see what was happening on the surface of the sea. The troops on the transport fleet also did not play any report. As soon as the observation post on the seashore noticed smoke rising from the sea, he immediately contacted the convoy. However, the situation that he could not get in touch gave Lieutenant General Shojiro Iida a hint of foreboding in his heart.

Above that was his Fourth Army, almost all of its living force at the moment. In addition to the first batch of more than 10,000 people, he now only has the remnants of two independent mixed brigades, as well as some directly subordinate artillery, engineers and other troops. The number of troops who remained to insist on the withdrawal of the second echelon, including the strength of the guards of his army headquarters, was only more than 7,000 troops.

With the remaining troops, it was impossible for him to hold out on to Huludao for too long. But at present, the predicament is a predicament, and the worry about the safety of the more than 10,000 troops at sea has kept Lieutenant General Iida's heart hanging. Until the four-mounted 14-millimeter anti-aircraft machine gun was like a sieve, and struggled back to Huludao with thick smoke all over its body, and sank the trawler before it could reach the shore.

A second lieutenant, a soldier, and a North Korean sailor wept as they reported their fate to Lieutenant General Shojiro Iida. Before they could finish speaking, they learned the news that more than 10,000 of their subordinates had been wiped out at sea. Iida Shojiro could no longer suppress the anger and anger in his heart, and after a mouthful of blood spit out directly, he fell into a coma directly in front of him.

Iida Shojiro was in a coma, and Major General Michio Kato, chief of staff of the army, could only temporarily take over the burden of commanding the troops left behind in Huludao. It's just that the Japanese troops left in Huludao at the moment are just a patchwork of several remnants of the Japanese army. The structure and sequence are not uniform, and this combat effectiveness is also greatly reduced.

Originally, according to Iida Shojiro's plan, these forces were used as delayed troops to hold Huludao and various points on the periphery. After the ships transporting the first echelon return, they will be loaded onto the ship and evacuated. But now not only are the ships gone, but even the first retreating troops have sunk into the Liaodong Bay of the Bohai Sea along with the ships that will never appear.

Faced with the current situation, Major General Michio Kato is also helpless. I could only send a report to the Kwantung Army Command, hoping to get operational guidance from the Kwantung Army. And in the face of the current war situation, the Kwantung Army Command, which is basically helpless, is also helpless. The transport fleet dispatched from Port Arthur was completely wiped out, and the Kwantung Army no longer had any ability to support the Fourth Army, which was currently trapped in western Liaoning.

At the moment, there is only one thing that the Kwantung Army can do, which is to risk sending a few light seaplanes. On the night of the second day, Lieutenant General Shojiro Iida, who was unconscious, was picked up from Hulushima by Major General Michio Kato, and Major General Jusuke Hamada, commander of the 135th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade, along with all the personnel of the Fourth Army Headquarters. As for the troops below, they can only let them be broken under the command of a Dazuo who volunteered to stay.

It's not that the Kwantung Army can't send more planes, but that the artillery shells and aerial bombs that fall every day throughout Huludao are now blowing up more than 60 square kilometers of Huludao with craters everywhere. Let the land-based aircraft sent by the Kwantung Army not even have a gentle landing zone.

Just after the total annihilation of the Japanese Navy transport fleet, the small ship formation of the Anti-Japanese Union suddenly appeared outside Huludao Port. Driving along the east bank of Lianshan Bay, all the naval guns were concentrated to bombard the Japanese positions, and a large number of shells were poured onto the Japanese heavy artillery positions on the east bank of Lianshan Bay.

The positions of these heavy artillery deployed by the Japanese army on the east bank of Lianshan Bay were very tricky. The main positions are all set up on the line of Ma'anshan, Loujiahou Mountain, and Gushan, relying on the hilly areas on the peninsula as a barrier. Carry out fire support on the northern battlefield, and suppress the anti-United Nations artillery group northeast of Lianshan Bay with long-range firepower.

The counter-attack artillery of the Anti-United Nations, although it can be hit here. But because of the Japanese artillery positions, it was set up quite cleverly. Although the artillery under Wang Guangyu's command continued to suppress, it was never able to destroy these Japanese artillery groups. In addition, the Japanese army's mountain artillery groups set up on the front line of Guodi Mountain and Lantern Mountain were fully blocked, so the attack on Huludao has always been very difficult.

This time, after completing the encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese naval transport fleet, these ships immediately entered Lianshan Bay and carried out intensive artillery strikes against the Japanese artillery groups deployed on both sides of Lianshan Bay. Although the guns on these ships, except for the two 120-millimeter high-level dual-purpose guns of the coastal defense ship, the rest of the naval guns are 76 millimeters, and even many of them are small-caliber naval guns.

Even the gunboats made by the Anti-Japanese Federation themselves, equipped with German-made 150-mm infantry guns, have a firing range of only a few thousand meters. But these naval guns are close to firing, and there is absolutely no problem. The artillery positions of the Japanese army, because they were all temporary positions, were not set up strongly.

The artillery battle with the Anti-United Nations has always taken advantage, as long as it relies on the position of the artillery position and the ingenious setting of the terrain. They mainly relied on the fact that the Anti-Japanese Union did not have a navy. All artillery positions can only be set up on the two flanks at the northern end of Huludao. Direct-aim artillery could not be hit because of the mountain barrier, and the firing range of howitzers was also greatly affected.

To say that relying on the solidity of the position, they simply did not have the time and energy to build a permanent firepower point as strong as Beimanchu, which could withstand the direct hit of 150 mm caliber artillery shells and hundreds of kilograms of aerial bombs. It only relied on the superiority of its own artillery position to compete with the anti-coalition artillery. But behind their faces of the sea, there is basically no cover.

Previously, it relied on the steep terrain in the south of Huludao, a small peninsula, to compete with the artillery of the Anti-United Nations without any impunity. The shells that came from behind were suddenly blown up. Caught off guard, four Taisho four-year 150-mm howitzers and two eight-nine 150-mm cannons were immediately destroyed.

The field artillery groups deployed on the front line of Guodi Mountain and Lantern Mountain suffered a devastating blow. Most of the nine Type 95 field guns, five Type 90 field guns, three Type 91 Type 105 howitzers deployed on Guodi Mountain, six Type 95 field guns and 11 Type 91 105 howitzers deployed on the front line of Lantern Mountain were destroyed.

Although these ships shelled the Japanese artillery positions, the Japanese army ignored the attack of the anti-coalition in front of them, and concentrated artillery fire to try to destroy all these daring little insects in the sea, so as not to let these guys who have no bushido demeanor come to attack themselves even more.

But in the small fleet of the Anti-Alliance, take your side to fight back, I will immediately retreat to the open sea. When your spiritual head is attracted by the positive, I will give you another stab. I'm small and flexible. I may not be able to hit me if you hit me, but I only need to give you a moment, and it will definitely kill you under the tactics of sea guerrilla warfare.
