Chapter 476: Hangzhou Bay (1)

Chen Shuangxi ran back to the direction of his own squad tent, the sound through the dawn fog, unusually loud, through nervousness and panic, alarmed his squad leader and comrades-in-arms, everyone poured out of the tent, looked at the muddy Shuangxi in surprise, the squad leader said dissatisfiedly: "Shuangxi, what is the name of the ghost in the early morning?" Not afraid of the jokes of other classes? ”

"Squad, squad leader, devils, a lot of devils!" Shuangxi was anxious and stammered, and his comrades-in-arms laughed for a while, this xiǎo guy didn't wake up, what about dreaming, right? There wasn't even a ghost shadow around, quietly, where did the devil come from? The squad leader is even more dissatisfied, the soldiers in his own squad, if this situation occurs, if the other squad leaders see it, they won't shave off a layer of their face?

Shuangxi didn't care a lot, pulled the squad leader to the gun position, the squad leader looked at Shuangxi suspiciously, and looked at the screen, this look, the squad leader was covered in sweat máo tied up, this very experienced old soldier, he knew what the red dot on the screen represented this, and he boarded the gun position in one step, and scanned it again, this kung fu, the red dot has become much larger, it can be determined that it is a large number of warships, which are heading towards the beach.

The squad leader threw himself in front of the telephone, called directly to Xu Shan, the commander of the air defense brigade, and received a report from the outpost soldiers, Xu Shan did not hesitate to order all the artillery radars of the air defense brigade to turn on, scan the sea surface, prepare for battle, and then report the situation to the commander-in-chief Tang Qiusheng.

Tang Qiusheng believed that this was the true situation, and the Japanese army predicted that the Japanese army would land in the area of Hangzhou Bay became a fact, and he immediately issued a battle order to the whole army, and all the personnel in the command headquarters were alarmed, and one by one the telephones were called, and one by one the orders were quickly issued to the troops, and under the orders of the commanders at all levels, the soldiers quickly entered the fortifications, and a ménmén artillery slowly raised the thick muzzle.

On the battlefield, the sound of hurried footsteps, and the voices of commanders at all levels lowering their voices and giving orders, tense and orderly, there was no húnluàn before the battle, only tense air, which seemed to overwhelm the thick cold fog in front of him, and he looked ahead with wide eyes, only a lingering dense fog, and nothing could be seen.

Tang Qiusheng telephoned Chang Feng, chief of staff in Taicang, Jiangsu, to inform him of the news that the Japanese army had come from Hangzhou Bay, and asked him to order the troops to enter a combat state.

The bell rang for a while, but no one answered the phone, Tang Qiusheng's anxious eyes were on fire, and he shook another phone, and after a while, someone finally answered the phone, a lazy, obviously sleepy voice, asked impatiently: "Who?" If you don't get a good night's sleep early in the morning, you will die? ”

Tang Qiusheng asked, "Are you the division commander?" Please answer the phone! That person was very unhappy, "What's the matter, I'm looking for the division commander, the division seat drank too much last night, and he wasn't at the command headquarters, tell me what happened, Lao Tzu doesn't have time to grind his teeth with you here!" ”

Tang Qiusheng, who has always been calm and kind, suddenly jumped like thunder: "You listen to me, I'm Tang Qiusheng, the commander-in-chief of the Sulu Mobile Corps, quickly call that hún egg division commander and order the soldiers to enter the position, the Japanese army is about to land in Hangzhou Bay, if you don't want to lose your head, go quickly!" ”

The other party was obviously taken aback, so angry? Settled, "It turned out to be Commander-in-Chief Tang, disrespectful!" Disrespectful! However, our outpost did not find any abnormalities, and without the order of the peak, we did not dare to act rashly, or wait for the order of Commander-in-Chief Zhang, you don't have to bother! "The implication is that it's not under your control, your orders are not good, and you talk nonsense early in the morning, where did the Japanese come from, and it is obvious that you are an independent division?

Tang Qiusheng angrily dropped the phone and ordered loudly: "Commander of the guard, immediately send a battalion of troops to the position of the Eighth Army, shoot at all the tents, and blast all these guys who don't know whether they are alive or dead, and push them to the position!" After giving the order, his face was still angry and angry, but there was a sadness in his heart, Zhang Fakui couldn't be contacted, such a unit was just a plate of scattered sand.

It was the first time for the staff officers to see the commander-in-chief angry, it turned out that the good-tempered people started the fire to be even more terrifying, and after a while, the position of the Eighth Army rang out with a crisp gunshot, and the soldiers of the Anxin Miscellaneous Army and the Security Regiment ran out of the tent in disheveled, yawning, and coaxing, with bloodshot eyes that were obviously lacking in sleep, looking around, constantly asking, where was the gun?

Seeing that it was a soldier of the independent division, he immediately scolded dissatisfiedly, and he didn't let him sleep well in the early morning. A few commanders ran over with their armor unarmoured, covered in alcohol, and shouted: "Wherever you shoot, you don't want to live?" ”

Yanagawa Heisuke, who was on the command ship, looked at a bay of turquoise water, and the misty Hangzhou Bay, which became more and more fairyland-like, and then looked at the huge fleet behind him, and said to the assistants around him with emotion: "With such a vast territory, fertile fields and thousands of miles, there are beautiful scenery everywhere, but this inferior nation has occupied it for thousands of years, and the excellent Yamato nation can only live on four xiǎo islands, and the heavens are so unfair!" ”

"And today, we are going to use the saber in our hands to open up the infinite territory of the Yamato nation, and you guys, what a glory it is to be able to participate in this battle in your life! It also leaves a broad living space for children and grandchildren! After speaking, he seemed to be overwhelmed with emotion, and his eyes turned to the wider sky, but unfortunately, the fog blocked his vision, and all he saw was a vague blur.

The assistants around him, looking at His Excellency the commander who shouldered an important mission with great respect, were warmed up by his words, not far ahead, is the richest place in China, where there are countless wealth and money beauty that can be sought with yù, in their opinion, Hangzhou Bay is an undefended beach, just like the luǒ body beauty nv in front of the storm, which can be easily conquered.

The faint sound of gunfire made Yanagawa Heisuke's eyes flash a trace of doubt, could it be that the Shina troops were already prepared? However, he was quickly relieved, what if he was prepared, with the combat effectiveness and equipment level of the soldiers of China, could he stop my 170,000 jīng sharp Imperial Japanese Army? There is an idiom in China called "mantis arm as a car", which is what it means.

Hangzhou Bay is approaching, and the Japanese troops preparing to land have boarded the landing craft one after another in accordance with the battle sequence, and the sound of motors sounded, and one after another, the landing craft, like vicious arrows, rushed towards Hangzhou Bay with the greed and murderous aura of a vicious wolf.

At 6:20 a.m. on the morning of 5 November, the Japanese Tenth Army, with more than 170,000 troops, divided into three batches, and more than 70,000 men from two divisions of the vanguard began to carry out the landing plan from Caojing Town, Quangong Pavilion, Jinsiniang Bridge, and other places near Jinshanwei in Hangzhou Bay, while all the warships of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet, which was responsible for escorting, slowly raised their thick naval guns and prepared to provide fire support, which was the sharpest knife that Emperor Hirohito had prepared for the Chinese.

Nearly seven o'clock, the first rays of the sun lightened the fog, and the first group of Japanese troops began to land on the beach, flowing waist-deep water, and the Japanese soldiers were all murderous, eager to grow wings and fly to the shore.

The Jiangsu Security Division, which belonged to the Eighth Army, first discovered the Japanese troops coming from the beach, cháo water, and immediately fell into extreme panic, the soldiers trembled and picked up the rifles in their hands, and they couldn't even pull the bolts, only a very small number of veterans, with courage, struck at the Japanese crowd.

The sparse gunfire of the defensive position not only did not suppress the Japanese landing force, but like a starting gun, the Japanese soldiers rushed to the beach at a faster speed, and attracted the fierce artillery fire of the Japanese ships. The sound was rolling and the momentum was amazing, drowning out the gunfire of the Eighth Army.

When the Japanese troops went ashore, the positions of the Eighth Army were already covered by the artillery fire of the Japanese ships, and the pillboxes and fortifications built perfunctorily were bombarded by large-caliber shells, and they fell apart in an instant, bricks and stones flew sideways, the corpses of soldiers were torn apart by shells, and the position fell into a panic.

In front of the Japanese army, which was attacking like cháo and imposing like a rainbow, I don't know that it was the officer on the position, who took the lead in dropping the gun in his hand, and fled in the direction of the position of the Sulu Mobile Corps with his head in his hands, as if the plague was contagious, and in an instant, the Eighth Army, which had nearly 100,000 troops, had not yet seen the faces of the Japanese clearly, and after shè fired a tiny bullet, the whole line collapsed, and the first defensive position collapsed with a bang.

None of the officers stood up to organize resistance, but the officers were the first to flee, the officers fled, the soldiers had no fighting spirit, the so-called defeat was like a mountain, seeing the Chinese defenders collapsed, the Japanese soldiers were like bulls with aphrodisiacs, more and more crazy, and did not take tactical actions at all, so they held the three eight guns straight, shouted wildly in their mouths, and chased down the back of the Chinese soldiers' butts.

The Japanese soldiers who are chasing fiercely don't need to aim at all, just raise their guns and shè to shoot, the Chinese soldiers who flee in a bunch are the best live targets, the guns are down, 70,000 people are fighting with 100,000 people, such a battle, that is, the Imperial Japanese Army can create zào out, chase! Don't let go of a single Shina and kill them all, the bloodthirsty excitement rises in the heart of every Japanese soldier.

Nearly 100,000 troops of the Eighth Group Army retreated from Caojing Town, Quangong Pavilion, Jinsiniang Bridge and other places in Jinshanwei, Hangzhou Bay, and the roads of the rout were paved with the corpses of Chinese soldiers, and the Japanese soldiers stepped on these corpses and stormed in depth at Hangzhou Bay.

The news that the second batch of more than 60,000 Japanese troops who landed had boarded the returning landing craft and successfully landed and quickly defeated the Chinese defenders made Yanagawa Heisuke excited, and the battle situation was as he expected, the defenders of Shina were vulnerable, and he was surprised by the way, he couldn't understand why Matsui Ishone, who was a veteran general in the army, was beaten so badly in the first battle of Songhu?
