"Xiao Huang... how are you preparing?" Li Yunlong suddenly appeared next to Huang Yu, frowning and asking with worry on his face.
Li Yunlong has always been fearless in battles, and this is the first time he showed a worried expression because of fighting.
It's not because he's afraid, it's because the opponent is too unfamiliar.
He had not seen any warships equipped by the Japanese navy, but he had seen their gunboats docked at the dock.
Although it was bombed, the large-caliber naval gun on the gunboat was still clearly visible.
A small gunboat is equipped with such a large-caliber naval gun. If the navy transferred by Okamura Neji is equipped with warships, the caliber of the naval guns on the warships must be larger, far exceeding the large-caliber mountain guns captured by the troops at the dock.
Howitzer.
A large artillery caliber means high power and long range.
If the enemy parked its warships beyond the range of howitzers and mountain cannons and opened fire on the pier, the Eighth Route Army in the wings would be completely out of reach.
This is also one of the main reasons why Li Yunlong looked worried.
Huang Yu answered confidently: "The net has been set up, just waiting for the little Japanese warship to hit the muzzle of our cannon."
"As long as we can kill with one blow and severely damage the squadron that the Japs came over, they will definitely retreat immediately."
"By the time they turn around and fight back to the dock, we have already emptied out all the supplies, weapons and ammunition that the little devils had hoarded at the dock."
"If the little devil wants to explode, let him explode..."
"At that time, I will have people leave some explosives and gasoline in the warehouse. When the warship bombarded the warehouse, the explosives and gasoline exploded, making the little devils mistakenly think that the materials, weapons and ammunition they stored at the dock were destroyed. Maybe it would also make Gang
Murura Ningji relaxed his vigilance so that we could transfer the loot back to the base."
"What if the Japanese warship fires outside the range of our army's howitzers and large-caliber mountain cannons?" The worried expression on Li Yunlong's face did not relax because of Huang Yu's answer. He looked at the endless sea in front of him.
ask.
"Absolutely not..." Huang Yu replied firmly.
"I don't know during the day tomorrow...but if the Japanese naval fleet arrives at the pier tonight, it will definitely not dare to attack the pier beyond the range of the howitzer."
"Why?" Li Yunlong blurted out and asked.
Huang Yu explained seriously: "Warship guns are powerful, but they are not omnipotent."
"The farther the shooting distance, the worse the shooting accuracy. This is exactly the same as the howitzers and large-caliber mountain guns we are equipped with."
"If you choose to fire at night, the accuracy of long-distance shooting will be even worse."
"The Tianjin Pier is very important. It is the most important port for the Japanese North China Front to contact their country."
"Weapons and ammunition, supplies, and supplementary troops from their country...are basically imported from the Tianjin pier."
"If the dock is destroyed, even if Japan wants to replenish supplies and recruits to the North China Front, the speed will be affected."
"If the Japanese navy bombards the dock more than ten kilometers away and uses naval guns to fire accurately, not only will the dock warehouse be blown up, but the entire military port will be blown into rubble by them."
"This is something Okamura Neji will never accept."
"In order to prevent the docks and military ports from being bombed, the Japanese Navy will definitely carry out close-range artillery fire on us to increase the hit rate of naval guns and reduce accidental damage."
"This can not only destroy the dock warehouse, but also protect the military port."
"The Japanese army is eager to destroy the dock warehouse, leaving us with nothing at the Tianjin dock."
"As long as the Japanese navy fleet arrives at the Tianjin pier tonight, it will definitely launch an attack immediately, and fire at the dock warehouse at close range, then we will have a chance..."
Seeing that the worried look on Li Yunlong's face finally calmed down, Huang Yu suddenly asked: "Deputy Commander..."
"A battle like bombarding the Japanese naval fleet can only be fought once."
"Even if we severely damage the Japanese navy fleet through an ambush, I can only delay it until tomorrow morning."
"As soon as day breaks, the shooting accuracy of Japanese naval guns will be greatly improved."
"At that time, not only the dock warehouses will be in danger, but our artillery units will also be in danger."
"The caliber of naval guns far exceeds the howitzers and mountain cannons we are equipped with. Once an artillery position is targeted by Japanese naval guns, it only takes five or six rounds of firing to wipe out one of our artillery units."
"So the artillery must evacuate the dock before dawn tomorrow."
"After daybreak, all our other troops will also evacuate the dock."
"Even if the supplies, weapons and ammunition in the warehouse have not been emptied, we must retreat."
Li Yunlong's face immediately flashed a strong expression of confidence, and he patted his chest and assured: "The transfer work is faster than we imagined..."
"Except for weapons, ammunition and fuel, which need to be handled with care, other materials will not break no matter how much you use them."
"According to this principle, the speed of soldiers loading and unloading trucks is significantly accelerated, and the speed of transportation is also accelerated a lot."
"According to the current progress, we will be able to clear the dock at three o'clock in the morning at most."
Huang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask: "What happened to the other Japanese and puppet troops who went north to support Pingjin?"
"Ningji Okamura should have mobilized a lot of troops to intercept us..."
"Can the Eighth Route Army operating in the local area block the peak of Japanese and puppet troops?"
"In order to regain the loot we captured, Okamura Neji must have given them a fatal order to go north to intercept us."
"If some troops fail to withstand it and allow the Japanese and puppet troops to rush into our only way back to the base area, even if there are only one or two squadrons, it will cause a huge blow to our troops transporting the spoils and destroy a large number of the troops we finally captured.
The spoils of war.”
The confident expression on Li Yunlong's face disappeared instantly.
He knew very well that not all the Eighth Route Army had as sophisticated equipment as the Yizhong Eighth Route Army.
Many Eighth Route Army troops only had one rifle per man, let alone precious light and heavy machine guns and mortars.
Let such troops resist the Japanese and puppet troops who want to go north. Even if their fighting will is very determined and they will fight to the death, there is still a huge disparity in strength between the two sides.
As the old saying goes, in the face of absolute strength, no matter how powerful the conspiracy is, it will be vulnerable.
Based on this analysis, accidents may indeed occur on the battlefield.
He immediately furrowed his brows and asked Huang Yu: "Our troops are limited, and many people have been deployed to keep the Japanese and puppet troops in Beiping City. There are even fewer troops that can be used to protect the transportation team."
"If the Japanese and puppet troops really attack our way south, the blow the transport team may face must be devastating."
"We must find ways to prevent these accidents from happening."
"Let me think about it..."
"Where else can we deploy troops to protect the southbound transport team..."
"Even one more regiment can give the transportation team more protection."
