At this time, the commanders related to the Shandong Military Region and the New Fourth Army were even more excited. They watched the No. 1 regional transport aircraft unit with excitement. With the assistance of nearby logistics troops, they began to load and unload supplies, and separately transported fuel, torpedoes, and mines.
to different areas.
Ding Wei looked at the torpedoes being transported and said: "The Japanese took the transport ship to Weihai. The torpedo must be written with the name Zhiyuan. Send these Japanese who took the transport ship to the Weihai port to the bottom of the sea to pay tribute to the Beiyang Navy who died for their country that year."
Apologize!"
Everyone applauded one after another, saying that the Beiyang Navy back then had indeed shown the integrity of the nation!
At the airport, all transport planes are still busy.
After the first batch of transport planes quickly unloaded the supplies, they immediately loaded up the oceans, gold bars, and some copper ingots or non-ferrous metal ingots seized during this period and immediately transported them back to the headquarters in preparation for transporting the second batch of supplies.
The second batch includes 2 squadrons of TBF torpedo planes, 2 squadrons of SBD dive bombers, 2 squadrons of Type 99 dive bombers, 1 squadron of Type 97 fighter-turned-ground rocket attack aircraft, and 1 squadron of Mosquito nighttimers.
Fighters, two Mosquito upgraded air radars, a Catalina sea radar squadron, a Catalina relay communications squadron, a Catalina water search and rescue squadron, and three Mosquito bomber-converted torpedo squadrons
.
An additional B25, Type 1 Land Attack, Type 96 Land Attack, and Type 97 Heavy Explosive were also dispatched to form a minelayer brigade for air strikes.
First throw a lot of mines into the area of the Japanese fleet. If the Japanese hit the mines while evading air strikes, will they make a small profit?
Anyway, the Fourth Route Army also had no boats, so they threw them with all their strength, and even the devils who were blindingly saw clearly.
The eighth batch includes 5 squadrons of Laqi fighter squadrons and 2 squadrons of Yak 3 retrofit squadrons.
According to the command, Captain Wang was originally intended to follow a field force as a mobile force, waiting for opportunities to fight in the distance of Baoding, either for reinforcements, to assist in the siege, or to directly penetrate.
For this reason, many anti-Japanese warriors who were determined to die successively launched a retreat against the Japanese Izumo in an attempt to completely defeat the so-called honor-laden Izumo that the Japanese were clamoring about.
collapse to inspire the determination and confidence of the Chinese people to resist Japan.
As they were talking, those tough-blooded generals who had been on the battlefield for a long time and killed big Japanese with a blink of an eye acted like children.
"The Japanese armored cruiser Izumo!!!"
This armored ship looks like a Japanese one.
It was a long time ago that the battle officially kicked off.
"I'm not trying to dig out the devil's heart!"
During the Battle of Songhu Conference, the Japanese flagship headed by the "Izumo" violently bombarded the Chinese army's positions with small artillery to cover the Japanese army's retreat.
The Japanese elite mobile troops were sitting outside the boat, under the small sea. I fired my guns and fired my cannons, and even ran away when encountering an air attack.
While various units of the Fourth Route Army used the siege of Taiyuan to attract the attention of the Japanese army, various field units quickly attacked in all directions, even changing from the usual guerrilla warfare, mobile warfare and mountain warfare, and launched large-scale battles with the Japanese in the plains.
Confrontation.
Who would have thought that the speaker meant it, but the listener didn’t mean it? Captain Wang really kept that in mind.
In this way, we can give full play to the empire's artillery superiority and eliminate the main forces of the four routes.
Wen Yi thought about it. During that time, the Japanese flying team was frightened by your night fighters. They basically went out for activities. They just carried out night air strikes and did not lay mines. There should be no safety, so that's all. I was wondering where to stab him so hard to give the Japanese a hard blow.
Among them, the one that is least famous and hated by the Chinese the most is the Japanese armored cruiser Izumo.
……
——Pull out the devil’s heart!
Without these transport ships and oil tankers transporting equipment, they would be completely lost if the Japanese bombed them.
When I thought of that, the generals at the headquarters were probably very angry.
"Izumo?"
"After formulating this air strike plan, have we received any news about the small ship that secretly arrived at the port?
Just after a few battles, Captain Wang felt that fighting the Japanese reinforcements was simply enjoyable, but how could it be as uncomfortable as retreating to attack fortresses like Baoding, Taiyuan, and Zhangjiakou?
The troops directly under the front army were also deployed in the direction of Baoding, and even the mobile troops of the Jidong garrison were sent there to prepare for a small decisive battle on the plains.
In addition, it also caused huge losses to the lives and property of the Chinese people in factories, schools, and private houses in Xiahai.
"What if we hit Jinmen?" Captain Wang asked excitedly at the time.
"Fight! Go all out, use all your lost wealth until the Japanese's damn Izumo is sunk!"
Just like that, under the leadership of Commander Wang, the field group troops, mainly composed of the 184th Regiment and the Tiebajiao Mobile Force, were quickly assembled and used a devastating offensive to break through the Japanese blockades in Tianjin.
It even went straight to Peiping...
Before World War I, the still-obsolete Izumo was incorporated into the seventh-line force by the Japanese army. Due to its small tonnage and heavy firepower, it became the flagship of the seventh-line force, and underwater aircraft were added and its operational functions were modified. p>
So I finally started thinking about it.
... Before the battle around Baoding completely started, while the troops from all sides were fighting fiercely, Commander Wang, who was commanding the field group, sat still.
The indignant anti-Japanese soldiers swore.
"Lao Kong, since that damn Izumo crashed that time, even if I'm unlucky, we'll blow up my mother no matter what!"
That was an unexpected opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Before the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, various ships, boats, and boats headed by the Izumo assembled on the Huangpu River, directly and completely blocking the Chinese waters and occupying absolute sea control.
Since Kong Jie pointed out in the post-war military meeting that this time the siege of Taiyuan was used as a gimmick, he then turned his guns and attacked the Japanese counties such as Xiaotong, Zhangjiakou, Baoding, and Jinan.
The efficiency of the ground reconnaissance troops cooperating with the operation was very slow. They had passed back the information Kong Jie wanted to know a long time ago.
The Japanese army was clamoring for this, and even made some false claims in various reports, saying that the Izumo of the Little Empire of Japan symbolized the power and glory of the imperial army and could definitely be sunk by the enemy.<
/p>
But the commanders may have forgotten that Captain Wang is a strong general who is suitable for retreating, and he asked me to defend? This is so enjoyable!
"We must blow up that stupid Izumo!"
There is not even one ship with a small hull.
It is invincible and has no rivals.
Moreover, Kong Jie had no premonition that he would take advantage of the opportunity behind him to completely blow up the Izumo into a Japanese enemy. If he went forward, he might really have no chance.
Full preparation and passive response are exactly the same. The Fourth Route Army made full preparations after the war. Each unit carried a small amount of supplies to the rear line, including barbed wire, shovels, mines, octagonal nails, cans, medicines, and removable mine cannons.
Tents, raincoats, gas masks, explosive barrel launchers, trench periscopes, etc. are all distributed to the rear-line troops.
The main field force of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei-Nie Army and some troops of the 35th Army form the main northbound attack group in Baoding.
Kong Jie also said that beating Xiaotong did not blind the eyes of the Japanese, and beating Zhangjiakou did not tie the legs of the Japanese.
So every time we fought, I always charged forward and was at the rear. How could I not be left waiting?
"Lao Kong, Lao Kong, his words are so seductive to my grandma! He doesn't care so much, I'm so jealous of you!"
In the past, they were in a mountainous area where the terrain was unfamiliar and there was no complete fortification group. However, it was them. Now they have come to the small plains where there are dangers and can be defended. That is a place where the imperial army is unfamiliar.
Taking advantage of the fact that Baoding, Shijiazhuang and other important cities were under attack, the Japanese army was only concentrating on its defense.
Kong Jie was really surprised when he received the news. Since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, in order to achieve the purpose of invading China, the Japanese navy has not used most of the quasi-motherships. Those built and produced by itself or modified are not enough.
20 less ships.
While giving the order decisively, Kong Jie was actually not too surprised. Why did the Japanese suddenly gather a small number of ships at the port, even dispatching an old and heavyweight mothership like the Izumo? In fact, let alone the Japanese army, the general headquarters, which was directing various troops to besiege Baoding, was also confused.
But Lao Pi, Lao Zhou, Lao Liang, Lao Chen, Lao Yang and others were just polite and stayed in the Catalina underwater search and rescue aircraft area. Then Lao Pi, as the representative, said to Kong Jie: "You guys are leaving
Yes, you have drank too. You have to take a plane, and you have to watch the air force blow up the Japanese cruisers.
The Japanese army completely did not expect that the mobile unit of the Fourth Route Army, which was originally stationed far away in Baoding for reinforcements, would dare to be so arrogant and even go so far as to go straight to Jinmen alone.
No, the idea is bad, but the reality is cruel.
That sentence ignited the determination of Commander Wang at that time.
Political Commissar Luo, Commander Chen, and Staff Officer Ye who were visiting there were going to be at the headquarters, so they were able to go, but they just sighed with regret.
Not to mention sufficient blasting barrels, explosive packs, heavy weapons and an established artillery unit.
At the end, they still ambushed the Japanese reinforcements in Baoding.
Captain Wang decided to take a gamble, and he was crazy about giving me the nickname. So he followed the troops and changed direction. Almost beyond the expectations of the Fourth Route Army, the Japanese army and other parties, he went straight to Tianjin.
——Well, it turns out that we have to start with Captain Wang, nicknamed Madman Wang.
The night after Commander Wang followed his troops to attack Jinmen.
A group of people shouted at the headquarters:
Not yet, what is going on with this extremely small ship?"
"Yes!"
It is a good idea to broaden the horizons of those generals and visit the situation of undersea combat.
Therefore, Commander Wang immediately launched his mobile assault force into action.
The investigation turned out to be an unexpected gain.
"I'll blow it up for you! I'll blow it all up overseas for you to feed the bastards."
The Japanese even clamored that the Izumo was sunk despite being hit several times, and instead promoted the so-called reputation of the cruiser.
It was a long time ago.
When the old Japanese soldier Okabe saw that the Fourth Route Army dared to engage in a small-scale confrontation with the Imperial Army on the plains, he was very excited and felt that he had a chance to make a comeback.
The investigators soon noticed a problem. The Japanese troops gathered at the port seemed to be much smaller than expected. They included a considerable number of warships and transport ships. They seemed to have gathered together for some general reason to gain momentum.
Ready to go.
Finally, under the guidance of a thorough combat plan that was delayed in the post-war meeting.
If there must be some general unintentional factors, according to the original historical trajectory, by the end of 1943, the Japanese Izumo officially withdrew from the battlefield of the invasion of China and returned to Japan from China, full of so-called bullshit glory. Previously, it served as the Naval Academy
Used by the school’s practice ship.
If the political commissars had stopped them at first, both commanders would have wanted to get off the plane and see with their own eyes how the air force blew up the Japanese fleet and fleet.
Notify the rear-line reconnaissance and infiltration troops, and quickly investigate the vagueness. What is the reason why the Japanese have assembled so few ships in the direction of the port?
The gunboats, cruisers, and destroyers belonging to the Japanese army were surrounding the ordinary armored ship, obviously with the ship as the core.
A field force led by the troops followed by Commander Wang of the 769th Regiment of the 385th Brigade and the Tiebajia Mobile Force formed a raiding corps to drive the operation.
If it can be blown up into the Izumo, I am afraid it will be an eternal regret for the Chinese anti-Japanese military and civilians.
That time, before the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief listened to the report in the Military Intelligence Room of Huangyadong Headquarters, they immediately slapped the table and decided: "It's easy to live in a small way, so let's play hard!"
Kong Jie nodded heavily, I never thought that way.
Wait until the Japanese Izumo officially enters service and returns to China.
I pondered, pondered, and figured out why. Kong Jie's words at the military meeting suddenly rang in my ears.
However, the Japanese navy, which had absolute control of the sea, was actually weak.
It is said that the Izumo is a small armored cruiser with a displacement of nearly 10,000 tons. It is an Izumo-class armored cruiser and was built by the British Armstrong Shipyard. Before it came to the Japanese army, it participated in World War I and the Russo-Japanese War, and served as the Emperor's
Ship.
Before obtaining the permission of the General Headquarters, the Fourth Route Army Aviation Force, in accordance with the deployment of Kong Jie, the acting commander of the Fourth Route Army Aviation Force, officially launched an air attack against the Japanese ship troops assembled in Xiaolian, and laid mines along the way to hinder the Japanese army.
A combat plan to send reinforcements to Shandong by sea.
The main force of Commander Lu from Jizhong formed the Baoding Eastward Relief Group.
Therefore, the Izumo also carries a great honor for the Japanese army.
"Hit!"
It is estimated that there was no such reason for the Japanese to gather those troops.
The intelligence information observed by the observers was quickly transmitted to the headquarters at the front. After receiving the information, Wen Yi made a preliminary guess after analysis:
Okabe, who seemed not to have seen failure beckoning to him, immediately applied for urgent assistance from the Kwantung Army in the direction of Chahar and Lenghe.
Lao Kong, if he is doing that favor, you will recognize his old comrade before he comes to your territory, not to mention drinking, yes, he even has well water to drink!"
When the ship arrived, the Chinese navy fought to the death and attacked continuously, but it only caused heavy damage to the Izumo, but did not completely sink it.
Commander Wang, who had made up his mind, immediately turned his troops around. I was not an invincible warrior, and I was even more devastated along the way. The following troops broke through the Japanese army's blockade on the road one after another, and even beat the big Japanese along the way.
The county seat, holding on to the danger, acted like a tortoise.
Kong Jie smiled and said that the military position of Jinmen was too important. If he really attacked Jinmen, it would be equivalent to directly digging out the Japanese's heart.
Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese Navy's Izumo, as the executioner of the Japanese Navy, committed unspeakable crimes.
Before the commander-in-chief discussed with the deputy commander-in-chief, the 129th Division unified the command of the main force of the 386 brigade, the troops drawn from the new brigade, and the field troops assigned to the headquarters to form the main southward attack group in Baoding.
That's really the best time to use aviation forces to deal with the enemy's concentrated naval forces.
Of course, after the air strike was officially launched, reconnaissance aircraft and ground-based reconnaissance forces delayed the initial reconnaissance in the direction of Xiaolian Port.
