Chapter 217: Airplanes and Warships Fail to Save Their Lives
Chapter 217 Airplanes and warships are in danger of saving lives
On a high ground on the shore of Huludao, more than 30 large-caliber artillery pieces also raised their long barrels, and the target was facing the devil warship anchored on the sea.
According to the convention, it is extremely dangerous for the landing force to stay on the beachhead, and it will be killed and wounded by the defenders' firepower, and the correct tactic is that after obtaining a solid landing point, the landing force will attack and advance, rapidly develop in depth, and expand the results of the battle.
No one thought that the battle was started by the artillery first, and more than 30 heavy artillery pieces were aimed at the eight warships of the devil, and the eight rounds were fired rapidly, and the shells pierced the air, with a scream, and fell around the devil's warships, stirring up a column of water that rushed to the sky.
The artillery observer who was responsible for indicating the target immediately reported the corrected coordinates to the artillery commander, and the second batch of shells accurately landed on the devil warship, and thick black smoke rose from the warship's departure.
The sudden artillery bombardment confused the captain of the devil, he had not yet figured out the direction of the shells, more and more shells fell on the warship, the captain of the devil ordered the guns to return fire, the captain of the guns asked for instructions on the target, the captain of the devil found that there was a group of guns on the coast, there was a group of guns on a high ground, he pointed in the direction with a command knife, and the guns of the warship made a huge roar, and the heavy artillery on land fired at each other.
Seeing that the form was wrong, the commander of the devil's fleet hurriedly ordered all the warships to leave the range of shore artillery firing, and the devil's warship hurriedly ran to the deep sea with thick smoke, and the heavy artillery chased the tail of the devil's warship and fired a cannonball, which was regarded as a farewell to them.
The threat of naval artillery was lifted, Tang Qiuli ordered the Han Tie detachment to attack the devils who were attacking in depth, and suddenly, the originally silent beach was suddenly resurrected, and the soldiers drilled out of the fortifications hidden in the ground one after another, one by one, and the light and heavy machine guns stretched out of the muzzle of the black hole, revealing their hideous faces.
Han Tie was a very experienced commander, after receiving the task of defending Huludao, he used a day and a night on the coast that was the most suitable landing site to build a large number of fortifications, the fortifications were all using the natural landforms, the soldiers hid in the fortifications, covered with things, and from a distance, the coast was empty, and there was no shadow of any fortifications.
He also created a zào character to set up an anti-"eight" shaped blocking position, forcing the attacking side to face firepower from two directions, weakening the frontal assault force, and the firepower on both sides can cooperate with each other to form a cross-configuration of firepower, this kind of invention of the creation of zào. Even Tang Qiuli praised it after reading it, and praised Han Tie again and again for his ghost ideas.
The dense rain of bullets weaved a net of death in front of the devils, and the cannonballs rained down in the devil's formation, and the devils who were hit by the sudden blow suffered heavy casualties, and were pressed by the Han Tie detachment on the unobstructed beach, unable to move.
Tower Hill, a small and inconspicuous place, like a few ordinary villages in the Northeast, is destined to happen today.
There were more than 4,000 Devil Marines, and when they entered Su Jingfeng's ambush position, the artillery battle on the beach had just begun, and the Devil Navy Dazuo hesitated for a moment, and he immediately contacted the Devil Army Rear Admiral who was landing one after another to ask what was going on.
When he learned that the warship had been shelled for unknown reasons, a sense of foreboding struck him, and he immediately ordered his troops to immediately retreat, and after joining up with the army units, he continued to advance.
The rear team of the devils became the front team, and they were about to turn around, but it was too late, and on both sides of the road, a torrential rain of bullets suddenly fired, and there were hundreds of light and heavy machine guns, spewing tongues of fire at the devils, and the unsuspecting devils were knocked down piece by piece, and then, a group of shells fell on the heads of the devils, and the bodies of the devil soldiers were blown to pieces.
The rest of the devils, regardless of casualties, launched a group charge to the positions on both sides, and they were greeted by endless bullets and black-pressed grenades, and the shells exploded into walls of fire on the road of the devil's charge, and the exploding shrapnel flew sideways with a roar, wantonly harvesting the lives of the devils.
Three hours later, the battle of Tashan ended, Su Jingfeng's detachment, with absolute superiority in strength and firepower, completely annihilated more than 4,000 Devil Marines, from the devil commander Dazuo to the soldiers, none of them missed the net, on the battlefield, only a few hundred devil wounded soldiers remained, in that wailing, Devil Dazuo, was hit by several shells, the corpse was no longer visible, but from the remaining epaulettes and command knife, judging his identity.
According to the practice of the troops, the soldiers did not have time to catch prisoners, for the wounded soldiers of the devil, each of them made up a knife, very mercifully to help them relieve the pain, in the process of solving the wounded soldiers of the devil, the troops had unexpected casualties, all because of the negligence of the soldiers.
Some devils wounded soldiers, stubbornly resisted, and when the soldiers approached, they pulled the grenades on their bodies, and died with the soldiers, which shows that in this period, the poison of the devil soldiers' fighting consciousness and bushido spirit is still very powerful.
The undue casualties in the troops made Su Jingfeng angry and scolded loudly, and he ordered the soldiers to give him a shuttle bullet first if he suspected that he was still panting, and try not to get close to them.
The history is strikingly similar, more than ten years later, the Wu Kehua column under the command of the Northeast Field Army, here to block the landing from Huludao, reinforce the eastern marching corps of Jinzhou, more than ten kilometers long Tashan defense line, into a sea of fire, at this time, the main force of the Northeast Field Army, is besieging Jinzhou.
More than 100,000 troops commanded by General Hou Jingru, continuously stormed the Tashan defense line, fought fiercely for several days, and failed to move forward, the sound of artillery in the direction of Jinzhou was faintly audible.
Of course, the battle of Su Jingfeng's detachment, compared with the battle of more than 100,000 people fighting each other more than ten years later, was insignificant in scale, but the significance was very similar, it was all a blow to the enemy who reinforced Jinzhou.
After cleaning up the battlefield, the troops quickly rushed to the Huludao battlefield to participate in the battle of the landing force of the encircled devils.
The devil on the beach, hearing the dense gunfire from the direction of Tashan, the devil major general closed his eyes in pain, he knew that the marines were more than lucky, judging from the firepower of the troops that blocked their own Zhina, at least the strength of a brigade, the number exceeded his own, and the firepower was more fierce than himself, and this battle could not be fought.
Moreover, the only warship that could provide fire support was wounded by artillery fire from the land and fled to the open sea, unable to count on it, and the terrain in which it was located was also very unfavorable, and the troops were suppressed on the beach, unable to advance, and retreating to the sea, almost in a desperate situation.
At this moment, the shadow of the devil's plane appeared in the sky, and the devil who was in a desperate situation, the flame of hope ignited in his heart, and finally came to the savior, the sky in the northeast belongs to the Great Japanese Eagle.
It's no wonder that the devil plane came late, these guys are more arrogant than the Japanese Navy, the vast sky has always been their playground of freedom, in fact, according to Nanjiro's plan, this is a coordinated operation of the three arms of the sea, land and air, and the purpose is to deal a heavy blow to the troops of the Bloody Hand Regiment.
The devil pilot arrogantly told him not to be nervous, the eagle of the Japanese Empire was about to open the way for the army to advance, and the blood of the people of China would soon stain this beach red.
The twelve planes of the devils, pressing the nose of the plane, swooped towards the position of the Han Tie detachment, the machine guns spat out hideous tongues of fire, the shells hit the soldiers, tearing their bodies apart, and the blood stained the ground under them, and the first round of strafing by the devil planes caused casualties to Han Tie's troops.
The suppressed devils also took the opportunity to launch a crazy charge, even if they were knocked down in pieces, because with the support of air power, the fierceness of the devil soldiers was completely stimulated, and the position was broken through by the devils in several places, and the soldiers had already started hand-to-hand combat with the devils.
After the devil plane circled for a week, it turned over the nose again and began to strafe again, but this time it was not so cheap, after the devil plane strafed, Tang Qiuli immediately ordered the air defense brigade and the anti-tank gun detachment to prepare for air combat, and the anti-tank machine guns immediately set up positions, and the anti-tank gun shooters, in groups of three, cooperated with an anti-aircraft machine gun to deal with a devil plane.
The devil plane's first attack was even more rampant and unscrupulous, bullying the Bloody Hand Regiment to have no air defense, pressing the plane even lower, and the shadow of the devil pilot could almost be seen on the ground.
The devil plane, formed into a two-plane attack formation, the devil pilot with a cruel grin, the thumb has been pressed on the launch button of the machine gun, this is the most proud thing for them, with a sense of superiority that dominates the life of the people of China.
Suddenly, a string of sparks flew on the ground, and then, the fuselage made a "crackling" sound, the plane trembled violently, all the devil planes encountered the same fate, the devil pilots panicked and pulled the plane up desperately, they knew that they had been hit by the ground air defense forces, these cunning people were extremely despicable.
On the ground, the anti-tank gun took advantage of the loss of speed of the devil plane and immediately opened fire, high-explosive armor fragmentation shells, with ballistics visible to the naked eye, caught up with the devil plane, blinked into the fuselage, the sky burst out of gorgeous flowers, a puff of black smoke rose, accompanied by a huge explosion.
The armor fragmentation bullet hit the little devil's little bird plane into a volley explosion, and this kind of armor fragmentation bullet can even destroy the armor of the tank, not to mention this kind of devil plane that reduces its protection ability in pursuit of speed.
Devil planes, only three escaped the fate of the explosion in the air, the crooked ass dragged the black smoke, desperately escaped from the range of the anti-aircraft machine gun, and soon disappeared into the sky, if they were lucky, they could also fly back to the airport, otherwise, it was the fate of falling into the sea to feed the sharks.
Witnessing the fate of the plane being knocked down, the charging devils were stunned, the invincible Japanese pilots turned out to be such a wolf bèi and tragic end, and the courage they had just mustered quickly deflated like deflated balloons.
