1145 Nemesis - Izumo

At this time, the commanders of the Shandong Military Region and the New Fourth Army were even more enthusiastic, and they watched with excitement as the No. 1 Regional Transport Plane Unit began to load and unload materials with the assistance of nearby logistics units, and transferred fuel, torpedoes, and mines to different areas separately.

Ding Wei looked at the torpedo and said: "This devil took a transport ship to Weihai, and the Zhiyuan number must be written on this torpedo, and these devils who took the transport ship to Weihai Port to the bottom of the sea to apologize to the Beiyang sailors who died that year!" ”

Everyone applauded, saying that the Beiyang Naval Division of that year had indeed played a national integrity!

At the airport, the transport planes are still busy.

After the first batch of transport planes quickly unloaded the materials, they immediately loaded the ocean, gold bars, and some copper or non-ferrous metal ingots seized during this period and immediately transported them back to the headquarters, ready to transport the second batch of materials.

The second batch, 2 squadrons of TBF torpedo aircraft, 2 squadrons of SBD dive bombers, 2 squadrons of Type 99 dive bombers, 1 squadron of 97 fighters converted into ground rocket attack aircraft, 1 squadron of Mosquito night fighters, two Mosquito upgraded anti-aircraft radar aircraft, one Caterina sea radar squadron, one Caterina relay communications squadron, one Caterina water search and rescue squadron, 3 squadrons of torpedo aircraft converted from Mosquito bombers.

In addition, B25, a land attack, 96 land attack, and 97 heavy explosion were also dispatched to form an air raid to form a minelaying aircraft brigade.

Let's throw a lot of mines into the area of the devil's fleet first, and then talk about it, if the devil hits a mine when he evades the air attack, isn't it a big profit?

Anyway, the Eighth Route Army didn't have a ship, so they threw it hard, and the devil who was blind to the fire couldn't see it clearly.

The third batch, 5 squadrons of the Rak-5 fighter squadron, 2 squadrons of the Yak-3 modification.

This time, after listening to the report in the military intelligence room of the Huangyadong headquarters, the commander-in-chief and the deputy commander-in-chief immediately slapped the table and decided: "It's a big deal, the days are over, and the heavy hand is heavy!" ”

This devil's elite mobile unit sits in the boat, and on the sea, he can't shoot a gun, can't let go of a cannon, and can't run away when he encounters an air attack.

There are also those transport ships and oil tankers that transport equipment, and if you blow up the devils, you will be completely lost.

This is really the best time to use aviation forces against the ship forces where the devils are concentrated.

A group of men shouted at the command headquarters:

"Fry me! Blow them all up into the sea for me to feed the king. ”

In the end, if it weren't for the political commissars who stopped them, both commanders would have wanted to get on the plane and see with their own eyes how the air force blew up the devil fleet and the fleet.

Political Commissar Luo, Commander Chen, and Staff Officer Ye who visited here wanted to sit at the headquarters, but they couldn't go, and they were stunned and only sighed with regret.

But Lao Pi, Lao Zhou, Lao Liang, Lao Chen, Lao Yang and others were not polite, and directly relied on the Catalina water search and rescue aircraft area, and then Lao Pi was the representative and said to Kong Jie: "We are not leaving, we will not drink wine, we will take a plane, we will see the cruiser of the air force bombing devils."

Lao Kong, if you don't help with this, I won't recognize you as an old comrade-in-arms in the future, and come to my territory again, let alone drink, I'm sorry, I don't even have to drink well water! ”

While talking, these iron-blooded generals who have been on the battlefield for a long time and cut little devils on the battlefield without blinking an eye are acting like children.

Kong Jie thought about it, during this time, the devil flying team was frightened by our night fighters, and basically did not come out to move, but only carried out air raids at night and laid mines, there should be no danger, so he agreed.

It was just the right time for these generals to broaden their horizons and visit the situation of naval operations.

In the end, it was guided by a well-thought-out battle plan drawn up in advance at the pre-war meeting.

After obtaining the consent of the General Headquarters, the Eighth Route Army's aviation unit, in accordance with the deployment of Kong Jie, the acting commander of the Eighth Route Army's aviation unit, formally launched an air attack against the Japanese army's ships and ships assembled in Dalian, and laid mines along the way to obstruct the Japanese army's operational plan to reinforce Shandong by sea.

Soon after, the battle officially began.

Of course, before the air raid was officially launched, reconnaissance planes and reconnaissance units coordinated with the ground carried out preliminary reconnaissance of the direction of Dalian Port in advance.

As a result, the investigation was a windfall.

The scouts soon sensed that the devil had gathered much more troops in the harbor than expected, including a considerable number of warships and transport ships, as if for some special reason they had gathered together and were ready to attack.

There was even a ship with an exceptionally large hull.

It looks like a special armored ship of devils.

The gunboats, cruisers, and destroyers belonging to the surrounding Japanese troops revolved around this special armored ship, which was obviously centered on this ship.

The intelligence information observed by the observer was quickly transmitted to the command headquarters sitting in the rear, and Kong Jie, who received the information, made a preliminary guess after analyzing it:

"Before we made plans for this air attack, we didn't receive any information about the large ship that had secretly arrived in port.

It is estimated that there is some special reason for the little devils to gather this group of troops.

Notify the front-line reconnaissance and infiltration troops, and quickly find out what is the reason for the devils to gather so many ships in the direction of the port?

Also, what's going on with that particularly large ship? ”

"Yes!"

……

The effectiveness of the ground reconnaissance force that cooperated with the operation was very fast, and it was not long before the information that Kong Jie wanted to know was passed back.

"Izumo?"

"The devil's armored cruiser Izumo !!"

Kong Jie, who got the news, was indeed surprised, saying that since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, in order to achieve the goal of invading China, the Japanese army has used many quasi-motherships in the navy, and there are more than 20 of them built, produced and refitted by themselves.

Among them, the most famous, and the most hated by the Chinese, is the devil's armored cruiser Izumo.

It is said that this Izumo is a large armored cruiser with a displacement of nearly 10,000 tons, belonging to the Izumo-class armored cruiser, built by the British Armstrong shipyard, after reaching the Japanese army, participated in World War I and the Russo-Japanese War, and served as the emperor's seat ship.

Therefore, this Izumo also carried great glory for the Japanese army.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, this devil's Izumo, as the executioner of the Japanese navy, committed unspeakable crimes.

After World War I, the already old Izumo was incorporated into the second-line troops by the Japanese army, and due to its large tonnage and heavy firepower, it became the flagship of the second-line troops, and seaplanes were added and the operation functions were refitted.

After the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, various types of ships, boats, and boats led by the Izumo assembled on the Huangpu River, directly and completely blockading China's waters, and occupying absolute sea supremacy.

At the time of the Battle of Songhu, the Japanese flagship, led by the "Izumo", violently bombarded the positions of the Chinese army with artillery to cover the Japanese attack.

In addition, factories, schools, and houses in Shanghai have caused huge losses to the lives and property of Chinese.

Later, the Chinese Navy fought to the death and attacked continuously, but only caused heavy damage to the Izumo, but did not completely sink it.

Because of this, the Japanese army was clamouring and rampant, and even made a lot of noise in various reports that said that the Izumo of the Japanese Empire symbolized the prestige and glory of the imperial army, and could never be sunk by the enemy.

It is invincible and invincible.

"Be sure to blow up this dog's day Izumo!"

The indignant anti-Japanese soldiers swore an oath.

For this reason, I don't know how many anti-Japanese warriors who were determined to die launched attacks on the devil's Izumo one after another, in an attempt to completely crush the so-called honor-laden Izumo that the devil was shouting rampantly, so as to boost the determination and confidence of the Chinese people to resist Japan.

However, the navy of the Japanese army, which occupied absolute sea supremacy, was really strong.

If there were no special accidents, according to the original historical trajectory, by the end of 43, the devil's Izumo officially withdrew from the battlefield of invasion of China and returned to Japan from China, full of so-called bullshit glory, and then used as a training ship for naval academies.

The devil even shouted that the Izumo had been hit countless times without sinking, but instead proclaimed the so-called prestige of this cruiser.

Thinking of this, the generals of the command headquarters were all indignant.

"Lao Kong, this dog's day Izumo, since it bumped into it this time, even if he is unlucky, let's blow up his mother if we say anything!"

Kong Jie nodded heavily, how could he not think like this.

This is an unexpected opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

And Kong Jie has a hunch that if he doesn't take advantage of the opportunity in front of him to completely blow up the Izumo of the devil, I'm afraid there will really be no chance in the future.

Wait until the devil's Izumo is officially retired and transferred back to China.

If it fails to be blown up into the Izumo, I am afraid that it will become an eternal regret for the Chinese anti-Japanese army and people.

"Hit! It's a big deal to use all the family resources and sink the Izumo of the devil day! ”

While giving the order decisively, Kong Jie was actually a little curious, why did this devil suddenly assemble a large number of ships in the port, and even an old heavyweight mothership like the Izumo was dispatched?

- Let's talk about this, it turns out that we have to start with the head of the group, who is nicknamed the king madman.

Since Kong Jie pointed out in the pre-war military meeting, this time it was a gimmick to besiege Taiyuan, and then turned the muzzle of the gun and attacked the devil's Datong, Zhangjiakou, Baoding, Jinan and other county seats.

Kong Jie also said that if he hit Datong, he blindfolded the devil, and when he hit Zhangjiakou, he tied the devil's legs.

"What if you hit Jinmen?" Head Wang asked coldly at that time.

Kong Jie smiled and said that the military position of Jinmen is too important, if this really hits Jinmen, it is equivalent to directly digging out the hearts of devils.

Who would have thought that the speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional, and the head of the Wang regiment really kept this matter in his heart.

Commander Wang led his troops to attack the eve of Jinmen.

While the troops of the Eighth Route Army attracted the attention of the Japanese army by besieging Taiyuan, the field troops of all walks of life quickly attacked in all directions, and even changed the usual guerrilla warfare, movement warfare and mountain warfare, but engaged in large-scale confrontations with devils in the plains.

The old devil Okabe was very excited when he saw that the Eighth Route Army dared to have a large-scale confrontation with the imperial army on the plain, and felt that his chance to turn the tables had come.

In the past, you were familiar with the terrain in the mountains and had a complete group of fortifications, but you couldn't help you, but now you have run to the great plain where there is no danger to defend, and this is the place that the imperial army is familiar with.

Okabe, who seemed to have seen victory beckoning to him, immediately applied for emergency assistance from the Kwantung Army in the direction of Chahar and Rehe.

He also threw the troops directly under the front army into the direction of Baoding, and even the mobile troops of the eastern Hebei garrison were also sent over to prepare for a decisive battle on the plains.

In this way, give full play to the artillery superiority of the imperial side and destroy the main force of the Eighth Road.

Yes, the idea is good, but the reality is cruel.

The Eighth Route Army made full preparations before the war, and each unit carried a large amount of supplies to the front line, barbed wire, shovels, mines, triangular nails, cans, medicines, improved flying mine guns, tents, raincoats, gas masks, blast barrel launchers, trench periscopes, etc., all of which were distributed to the front-line troops.

Not to mention the abundance of blasting barrels, explosive packs, light and heavy weapons, and formed artillery units.

After the commander-in-chief consulted with the deputy commander-in-chief, the 129th Division unified the command of the main force of the 386th Brigade and the troops drawn from the newly formed brigade, as well as the field troops attached to the headquarters to form the main attack group in the south of Baoding.

The main field troops of the Jinchaji Nie boss and some troops of the 35th Army formed the Baoding northward main attack group.

The main force of Commander Lu in Jizhong formed the Baoding Eastward Reinforcement Group.

The 385 Field Force, led by the commander of the 769th Regiment of the 769th Brigade, formed a surprise corps and the Iron Triangle Mobile Force, and the driver fought.

…… After the battle around the direction of Baoding completely began, when the troops of all sides were fighting hotly, Commander Wang, who commanded the field group, could not sit still.

In this battle, he is always at the forefront, how can he let him wait?

As a result, Commander Wang immediately led a mobile raid force to fight.

At the beginning, it was still the reinforcements of the devils who were ambushed on the periphery of Baoding.

It's just that after a few battles, Commander Wang felt that the reinforcements fighting the devils were not enjoyable at all, how could it be compared to attacking fortresses like Baoding, Taiyuan, and Zhangjiakou?

So he began to think about it.

I wondered where to stab it for a while, and give the devil a little cruelty.

pondering, pondering, and I don't know why, Kong Jie's words at the military meeting suddenly sounded in his ears.

- Dig out the devil's heart!

"Lao Kong, Lao Kong, what you say is really his grandmother's seduction! I can't care so much, I'm hungry! ”

"Hit!"

Commander Wang, who made up his mind, immediately turned his troops, he was an invincible warrior style, and he was even more devastating along the way, leading the troops to break the Japanese army's multiple blockades one after another, and even the little devils along the way only dared to retreat in the county seat, stubbornly defended according to the danger, and became a turtle with a shrunken head.

Soon after.

Taking advantage of the fact that Baoding, Shijiazhuang and other important cities were under attack, the Japanese army did not care about the end.

Commander Wang decided to take a gamble, not crazy and sorry for his nickname, so he led the troops to directly turn around, almost to the expectations of everyone in the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army, and went straight to Jinmen.

"Lao Tzu is just going to dig out the devil's heart!"

This sentence can be said to have ignited the determination of Head Wang at that time.

The Japanese army did not expect that this mobile unit of the Eighth Route Army, which was originally sending reinforcements near Baoding, would dare to be so arrogant, and even went deep alone and went straight to Jinmen.

In fact, not to mention the Japanese army, the general headquarters that was commanding all kinds of troops to besiege Baoding was also stunned.

According to the meaning of the headquarters, it was originally intended that Commander Wang would lead a field unit as a mobile force, waiting for an opportunity to fight near Baoding, or to send reinforcements, or to assist in the siege, or to intersperse in a roundabout.

But the commanders probably forgot, Commander Wang is such a fierce general who is suitable for attacking, you let him defend? That's not too much fun!

In this way, under the leadership of Commander Wang, the field cluster troops that were quickly assembled, mainly the 769th Regiment and the Iron Triangle Mobile Force, broke through the Japanese army's blockade lines in Jinmen with a devastating offensive, and then went straight to Beiping......
