Four hundred and twentieth chapters counterattack (ten)
Jiang Guoping, Wang Ling and others worked day and night to learn how to use torpedo boats, and at this time, the war situation in Changsha had undergone new changes.

"Where are the people? Where are the people! Get up, get up!" A Nationalist soldier shouted loudly. There were corpses everywhere around him. Only some scattered gunshots responded to his roar. He was trembling.
He stood up and looked outside, only to see that under the cover of the tanks, the Japanese troops were crouching and approaching him. He turned around and looked at the machine gun looming behind him, recalling that he was at home with his wife and children, a kind of
Feeling helpless, he could only pick up a few grenades on the ground and prepare to take away a few more with the same death method. He knew that he could not retreat. The military police behind him had no ability to fight the Japanese. They were not good at shooting at his own people.
But it's very accurate.
The National Army officer suddenly turned around and shouted loudly, "Reinforcements! Where are the promised reinforcements!! Bastard Jiang Zhi, bastard Xue Yue, I'll kill you first!!" "Boom"
After a shout and an explosion, the blue sky and white sun flag erected on the position was replaced by a plaster flag. The Japanese army captured the last position of Laodaohe. This also represented the complete annihilation of a regiment, without leaving even a seed.
.
——Changsha City Headquarters
"Another regiment has been wiped out. Laodaohe has been completely lost. If we don't think of a way, Changsha will really be undefendable." Wu Yizhi handed a battle report to Xue Yue and said.
Xue Yue said without looking, "I know, we have to endure it now, and we will win in the end. Now that Luo Zhuoying has consolidated the positions of Lianyun Mountain, Dawei Mountain, and Jiuling Mountain, we have lost Changsha."
I am not afraid anymore. I order Wang Lingji to guard the Liuyang River for me. I am not allowed to retreat without orders. Otherwise, military law will be engaged. Are the death squads ready?"
Wu Yizhi nodded, and finally advised, "Should we stop doing this? After all, Changsha is an ancient city..."
Xue Yue said nonchalantly, "It has been burned once. Everything that should be burned has been burned. There is nothing to feel bad about now. Aren't all the military supplies already flowing down the Xiangjiang River? Besides, I only asked Wang Lingji to guard Liuyang.
The Japanese army will definitely be able to see the flaws in this section of the river, and then they will go around and attack Zhuzhou and other places behind us. I will then attract them to continue to attack Hengshan. At that time, we in Changsha will be completely safe."
Wu Yizhi asked, "Why is this attractive? When the Japanese army captures Zhuzhou, the best way is to surround Changsha and starve us to death."
Xue Yue squinted his eyes and said, "This is just a plan. As long as the Japanese army's logistics line is lengthened, Luo Zhuoying's troops can attack the Japanese army's logistics supply line. Only in this way can we have a chance of victory."
Wu Yizhi said clearly, "I hope it can succeed."

Chairman Mao was doing Tai Chi in the yard. When he saw Zhou Guansheng walking in, he smiled and said, "Guansheng, your face is full of joy. Have you brought me good news?"
Zhou Guansheng smiled and said, "This is good news. Our operations in northern Jiangsu are going very smoothly. We have successively captured Donghai, Ganyu, Guanyun, Guannan, Muyang and other places. We are continuing to implement our plan. We are
The wish to establish a base area in northern Jiangsu can finally come true."
Chairman Mao took the towel handed over by Xiao Wang next to him and wiped his sweat and said, "This is great. The chess piece in northern Jiangsu has fallen, and our semi-encirclement of the Japanese army in northern China has been formed."
Zhou Guansheng nodded and said, "203 call, a large number of mines and torpedo boats have been transported from there, ready to be used together to ensure that they can cooperate with the 115th Division to complete the enemy's mission. Liu Dake, Gao Jingting and Zhang Yunding have already captured Tongcheng.
, is moving to Huoshan and establishing a base in northern Anhui. Our guerrillas in southern Anhui and southern Jiangsu have also restarted their activities, and the situation is excellent."
As Chairman Mao and Zhou Guansheng walked into the room, he said, "After He Long captured Zhangjiakou, he quickly turned to defense. Although the Japanese army gritted its teeth against us, they did not launch a counterattack. On the contrary, Fu Zuoyi's troops had already reached the Mongolian border. How to deal with it?"
The Mongolian issue has become a difficult problem that tests the wisdom of our Red Party."
Zhou Guansheng hummed and asked, "So, Chairman, what do you think?"
Chairman Mao sighed, "Actually, it's not what I think, but what we can do. The Soviet Union and the Red International are our help and our resistance. Helping the nation seek independence is also the banner that the Red International has always held high. If we now
On the one hand, entering Outer Mongolia is tantamount to turning against the Soviet Union. I am afraid that some comrades in the party may not understand that, on the other hand, our current occupation of Outer Mongolia is not of much use to us, so my idea is to stay put and wait for the Soviet Union.
After a big change occurs, we will see if we should take the opportunity to take it back."
Zhou Guansheng agreed and said, "This is what we came up with after our discussion. Chairman, I think the Soviet Union will send people to negotiate with us soon. Should we make preparations?"
Chairman Mao couldn't help but hesitate when he heard that the Soviet Union might be coming. But thinking about the current power of the Chinese Red Party, he had to agree with Zhou Guansheng's conclusion. He said, "What you said makes sense. I also think the Soviet Union should send people."
But even if they see something and know something, they can't do anything. In the past three years, we have proved that red doctrine is not dogmatism and needs to be constantly adjusted according to the actual situation... By the way, Wang
How is Ming doing in Xinjiang now?"
Hearing the name Wang Ming, Zhou Guansheng couldn't help but feel a jump in his heart, but he still said calmly, "Wang Ming's legs have healed a long time ago, but the doctor said that because of his brain damage, he is not suitable for heavy work, so he has been
Let him be in charge of Xinhua News Agency's work in Xinjiang in a nursing home in Xinjiang. But he is not very active in doing things..."
Chairman Mao nodded and said, "Wang Ming doesn't know much about our situation now. It shouldn't be a serious problem, but it's better to be careful... Forget it, let's not talk about this. I heard that Suiyuan's recent
The development is good, let’s go and see it together when I see it.”
Zhou Guansheng laughed and said, "I think it's okay. Suiyuan's position in China's future is very important. It's time to go and see it."
The two walked and talked, laughing from time to time.

After five days of transportation and training, the five torpedo boats have been prepared. As the sun sets in the evening, Jiang Cheng, Lin Sanhu and others are having a meal with the naval officers and soldiers. This is also the last meal before going into battle.
At this time, there were faint bursts of thunder in the sky. Lin Sanhu looked at the sky and felt that the clouds were getting lower and lower. He nodded and smiled and said, "This weather reminds me of the time in Pingxingguan. It was like this at that time."
Weather, I led the 115th Division to set up formations in the wind and rain, and the battle was successful."
Jiang Cheng came over with bowls and chopsticks. The bowls contained not only white rice, but also seafood, vegetables, and luncheon meat. This was also a supplement for the soldiers who went out to fight. Jiang Cheng smiled and said to Lin Sanhu, "Like this
The weather is perfect for a sneak attack. I really look forward to what the Emperor of Japan’s expression will be like when he hears the news that the naval battleship he is so proud of has been driven to the bottom of the sea by a group of Tubal thugs. It will definitely be exciting.”
Lin Sanhu hummed and said, "That's...definitely much better than Peking Opera."
Say it, the two burst into laughter.
In the Lianyungang port, the Japanese army was making preparations for wind and waves. Everyone knew that such clouds represented the coming heavy rain. Although the steel battleships were not afraid of such wind and rain in the port, it was still good to be careful.
"Hurry up, hurry up, it's done. Let's go to the club to have a rest. It's said that another batch of sake has arrived. If we go late, it will definitely be gone." One navy soldier urged another navy soldier.
Another Japanese navy soldier looked at the sky and said, "Wait a minute, the lightning protection net has not been fully deployed yet."
Mine protection net is an important means for warships to prevent being attacked by torpedoes. It is generally composed of two parts: struts and outer tension cables. However, because it is too heavy, it often exceeds one hundred tons, and it often takes two to three minutes to open it.
After World War I, battleship design lost its shadow. However, in the task of protecting ports, mine protection nets were still outweighed. Some ports even built multi-layer mine protection nets for insurance purposes.
The first soldier looked at the sky and then saw that there was no one around, so he waved his hand and said, "No, this mine protection net protects against torpedoes. Where did the Chinese get such valuable things, let alone that they are going to be here soon?"
There is a strong wind and waves, and we don’t know how it will be blown by then. Let’s go first, and we will come back after the wind and waves pass.”
Another Japanese soldier thought it right and followed the first soldier back. The sky was getting darker and darker, and soon, heavy rain came down. Along with the heavy rain was a crazy strong wind, which only blew the trees.
There was a sudden sound.
Except for the Japanese soldiers in Lianyungang who were assigned to duty and had no choice, the rest of them hid in the barracks and used cards and books to pass the time.
On a hillside more than ten kilometers away from Lianyungang, a strange car was parked in the mountains. Jiang Cheng and others were outside the car. Jiang Cheng looked at the weather, shook his head helplessly and said, "We can't let go of this kind of weather."
UAV, it’s a pity, I still want to ensure the accuracy.”
Li Qian said consolingly, "Don't be sorry, Master. Many things can't be perfect in the first place."
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "That's what you said, okay, let's get ready."
Jiang Cheng was preparing here, and the five torpedo boats on the other side of Ganyu Port left the port like cats in the dark. Jiang Guoping looked at the wind and rain outside in the command post and said firmly, "Go around Qinwang Island and move towards Lianyungang.
"
In the huge wind and waves, the torpedo boat was like a toy in the hands of a giant, constantly being tossed around. But after all, it was offshore, so although the boat was small, there was no danger. By the early morning, five torpedo boats arrived within a short distance.
The sea surface more than ten nautical miles outside Lianyungang Port.
Jiang Guoping looked at the time, took a breath, and ordered, "Order all warships to move forward carefully. No one is allowed to turn on the lights and only use flashlights to illuminate them."
After saying that, Jiang Guoping suddenly remembered and shouted, "Command the radar to turn on and search for enemy warships."
After a while, the radar room reported, "An enemy warship has been discovered. The enemy warship has not moved. It should be parked in the port."
Jiang Guoping nodded and said, "Continue to monitor. If any abnormal movement of the enemy warship is found, report it immediately."
About 20 minutes later, the observation post shouted, "We are only 20 nautical miles away from the enemy fleet. Do we want to continue to approach?"
Jiang Guoping's hands were already covered with sweat. He nervously pulled the collar of the cara and said, "Keep going!"
"18 nautical miles!"
"go ahead!"
“15 nautical miles!!”
"go ahead!!"
“13 nautical miles!!!”
“10 nautical miles!!!”
"Slow down!!!" Jiang Guoping finally yelled to slow down. The five torpedo boats slowed down. The wind and rain continued. It's not that they can't continue to move forward, but Jiang Guoping couldn't tell the current situation in the port.
, we can only approach slowly and carefully check the situation.
After a while, the torpedo boat fleet arrived outside the port. Jiang Guoping could clearly see the light on the lighthouse shining on the sea from time to time. Then the searchlight could see that the Japanese warships were not preparing for a battle. Jiang Guoping said with great joy.
"Reload immediately, select a target for each torpedo boat from the left, be careful not to repeat it."
The Sable-class torpedo boats carry four torpedo launch holes, all of which are 533 mm heavy-duty torpedoes, and the torpedoes carried by these five torpedo boats are all later-generation wire-guided torpedoes. These wire-guided torpedoes will continuously launch and return signals so that
During operation, the various angles of these torpedoes are adjusted based on these signals to ensure the hit rate.
"The Ganyu is ready!"
"Guanyun is ready!"
"The Donghai is ready!"
...After a while, each ship reported in turn that they had completed their preparations.
Jiang Guoping continued, "Order, launch all torpedoes on time at 1:30. Our torpedoes are wire-guided torpedoes and cannot be fired in salvos, so we launch one every two minutes. This should ensure uninterrupted attacks. Remember, even if we all
Even if he is killed in battle, he will send the little devil’s boat to the Dragon King’s belly to worship the gods! To avenge his dead compatriots!!”
"Revenge! Revenge! Revenge!" Everyone roared in a low voice. Time passed little by little, and soon, the appointed time came.
Jiang Guoping waved his hand and shouted, "First shot, launch!"
There was a crisp sound of "poof", and a torpedo entered the seawater with a slender wire. It rushed towards the Japanese port like a dragon. Five torpedo boats fired at the same time, that is, five torpedoes. It took two minutes.
, five more rounds, five rounds after five rounds, and when the first round arrived at the port, all four torpedoes on the torpedo boat had been fired. Everyone looked at the port nervously, and the war room was so quiet that they could only
