Four hundred and twentieth chapters counterattack (eleven)
Jiang Guoping did not look at the port like the sailors, but stared closely at the screen in the war room. The torpedo feedback information could be clearly seen on the screen. The first torpedo curved around a patrolling boat. , pounced towards his target - a frigate.
The Japanese sailors who were keeping watch on the frigate were still sleeping. One sailor turned over and looked out the window. The heavy rain outside the window hit the glass, causing splashes of water. The sailor muttered a few words and turned over again. He What was not seen was an imperceptible trail of water rushing towards the frigate.
A huge "boom" explosion signified that the assault on Lianyungang had officially begun.
The explosion sound had not dissipated yet, followed by two loud bangs, and three out of five hits, which was enough to make everyone feel proud. After all, this was the first time that this torpedo was actually used, and it was able to hit this level according to the instructions and explanations. , on the one hand, the Japanese warships were completely motionless, like dead targets, on the other hand, we can also see the training intensity of the naval soldiers.
"What's the sound?" Washijin Tohei suddenly jumped up from the bed. The comfort woman next to him rubbed his eyes and looked at him with confusion. He heard two more noises and jumped down quickly. The bed, naked, opened the curtains and looked to the west. He found that the west was quiet and there was no sign of the Eighth Route Army's attack. He couldn't help but wonder. Then, a thought flashed in his mind, and he felt that the pores all over his body were exploding. He slowly opened the curtains on the other side, only to see that the port direction to the east was already as red as day. At this time, there was another loud noise, and he clearly saw a ship that he didn't know what kind of ship it was. He was thrown into the air with a huge force, and then fell down violently. The miserable situation was simply unbearable for him to look at.
"Baga! What are those red deer in the navy doing??" Washizu Tiehei shouted loudly, and hurriedly took the clothes and put them on. It was a warship of the same team. What on earth was it? Could it be that it was a torpedo that could throw up such a huge steel battleship? Washijin Tohei was a division commander after all, and he was well-informed, so he immediately guessed something close. Although he didn’t know where the Eighth Route Army’s torpedoes came from, But he clearly understood two things. One was that the naval fleet must have been attacked and the losses were considerable, and the second was that the Eighth Route Army must be attacking soon.
Jiang Cheng in the field adjusted the machine at this time and gently pressed the launch button. He only saw Baofengxue, who had not been unsheathed for a long time, showing his fangs and launching all his rockets in a whoosh. These rockets were all high-explosive bombs and oil-gas bombs that Jiang Cheng got from Ying Tianlin. Only 12 meteors were seen flying in the heavy rain, and then they struck fiercely towards the Lianyungang port.
At this time, the Japanese army in Lianyungang Port had been completely awakened by the bombing. Although the Japanese naval soldiers who rushed out of various barracks did not know where the enemy was, they knew that they could only attack the enemy after getting on the ship. After all, Lianyungang had no defensive purpose. The fort was something that the Japanese army ordered China not to build at that time. These people ran very fast, hoping to get on the ship as quickly as possible, then turn the cannon heads and send the enemies who were attacking them to the bottom of the sea.
As they were thinking and running, suddenly, the Japanese soldiers heard a sound like howling ghosts and wolves. When they looked back, they saw sparkling meteors flying towards them.
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"
A huge fire ball appeared in the port, and the air waves and shrapnel generated by the explosion swept away the Japanese troops in the port. I don't know how many Japanese naval soldiers did not die on their own battleships, but fell on the port.
Jiang Guoping was counting nervously at this time, and after a while, the numbers came out.
"Report, after statistics, the five ships fired a total of 20 torpedoes, and 13 were hit. Four enemy warships have been destroyed, two are sinking, one is seriously injured, and only one has not been hit, mainly in the port. There were other auxiliary ships that were accidentally hit by us."
Jiang Guoping shouted excitedly, "Keep firing torpedoes! Order each ship to move forward and attack the enemy soldiers with machine guns."
Washizu Tohei also arrived at the port at this time, and what he was presented with was a hellish scene. The warships parked in the port had either sunk, or were burning like torches, and even heavy downpours could not extinguish them. He then Looking around, there were black corpses exuding a faint smell of meat, and some undead naval soldiers were yelling like crazy. Some were even frightened crazy by such a scene and kept walking away with giggles. As he walked back and forth, this scene would never be forgotten for the rest of his life.
It was summer at this time. Although it was raining, it was not cold at all. But in Washizu Tohei's heart, he only felt that he was in the cold winter. How long could he hold on to the port without the protection of warships?
Washijin Tohei didn't let him think for long, bursts of explosions came from all directions. Washijin Hehei quickly climbed to the high platform of the port and looked around. He only saw bursts of gunfire in the south, west, north and south. From time to time, he could Seeing the light of the fire, Washi Jin threw the telescope to the guard beside him and said, "Baga! The Eighth Route Army is attacking. Hurry, go to the headquarters and order all departments to start counterattack immediately. Ask Xuzhou and Linyi for tactical guidance, and send power to Peking and Nanjing." Report our situation."
It turned out that when Lin Sanhu, who had been waiting for a long time, saw the meteor in the sky, he immediately waved his hand and shouted, "Start the general attack!" A dozen communications soldiers beside Lin Sanhu who had been preparing for a long time quickly shook their phones and shouted loudly, "Start the general attack!" Begin the general attack!!"
"Swish, swish, swish," the rocket artillery unit that had been preparing for a long time opened fire first. Sixty or seventy rockets hit various targets that had been marked, followed by countless mortars and mountain artillery attacks. Seventeen regiments of the 115th Division started from Donghai, Ganyu and Guanyun launched fierce attacks from three directions. In the dark rainy night, the sound of artillery, gunfire, shouts and explosions were mixed together, plus the sound of wind and rain, together they formed an exciting symphony.
A company of soldiers was charging when they suddenly heard several "ta-da-da" sounds. A Type 92 and two crooked handles formed a firepower network, blocking the road from Ganyu to Lianyungang. The Japanese troops in the rear were forced to Cannons and grenade launchers fired illumination bombs and high-explosive bombs from time to time to block the Eighth Route Army's attack.
The company commander who led the team suddenly threw himself into the muddy water, looked at the Japanese fortifications that kept spitting out tongues of fire, and shouted loudly to the back, "Come on, the demolition team, machine gunners to cover!"
Several Czech machine guns immediately counterattacked the Japanese machine guns. A recoilless rifle team skillfully loaded and aimed to fire. Seeing that the Japanese machine gun point was hit, the company commander waved and cheered. Then, a three-person team stood up and began to test After a few steps of the attack, the Japanese gunfire rang out again. The company commander was anxious, and the attached mortar team fired at the firepower point again. The firepower point finally stopped completely.
The attack of the 115th Division was like a whirlwind, with close-range stabbings and gunfire and distant artillery suppression. Although the Japanese defense system caused a lot of losses to the 115th Division, it was completely unable to stop its advance, especially the ship's attack that should have already sounded.
The artillery has completely lost its movement, which makes all the Japanese soldiers understand that something has happened to the navy. They can only resist desperately, hoping that there will be a turn for the better. However, the change in mentality and the sudden attack have made most of the
The Japanese army was unable to exert its combat power, and there were many fortifications without even a single Japanese soldier.
In the direction of the port, Jiang Guoping's fleet had already approached less than two or three nautical miles away from the port. Another 20 torpedoes were launched. In another round of sound explosions, the Japanese army finally realized the enemy's direction. But at this time
There are no usable Japanese warships at all, and even the largest heavy cruiser has been broken into two pieces and is sinking.
Jiang Guoping approached again. After being two to three thousand meters away, he began to use the 40mm machine gun on the torpedo boat to fire wildly at the burning and sinking Japanese warships as well as the Japanese troops in the water and on the port. The machine gun's rate of fire was extremely high.
Fast, hundreds of shells can be fired every minute, five torpedo boats can fire thousands of shells a minute, countless shells exploded in the port, the Japanese army finally understood that the opponent was a warship, just watching the flying
Fireworks, the Japanese army really couldn't imagine what kind of warship could have such strong combat power and such fast speed.
--Nanjing
Itagaki Seishiro was sleeping deeply when he was suddenly woken up by a knock on the door. Itagaki Seishiro rubbed his eyes and looked at the time. It was only less than three in the morning. Itagaki Seishiro shouted, "Who is it?"
"General Itagaki Seishiro, this is me, Nakanishi Gong, with an urgent military report from Lianyungang. Please get up and take a look." Nakanishi Gong shouted loudly.
Itagaki Seishiro jumped up in excitement, picked up the clothes from the side and put them on his body, walked out and asked, "What happened? Show me quickly?"
Isao Nakanishi handed the telegram to Itagaki Seishiro. Itagaki Seishiro took it and looked at it. He couldn't believe his eyes and shouted, "The fleet in Lianyungang was attacked? The whole army was wiped out... Is today April Fool's Day?"
Zhongxi Gong lowered his head and said, "It has been confirmed again by generating electricity. It is true. It is said that the current fire in Lianyungang cannot be extinguished even by heavy rain. The Eighth Route Army may have sent out water ghosts and carried out underwater blasting attacks."
Itagaki Seishiro shook his head and said, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Our dozen ships cannot be dealt with by just a few water ghosts. To achieve such an effect, they must also have battleships... It should be weapons like torpedoes
, No, if Lianyungang loses the protection of the navy, then the army will not escape defeat. Let's go to the war room quickly."
The war room was already busy. Nishio frowned and looked at the map on the wall. When he saw Itagaki Seishiro coming in, he immediately said, "There is a call from Washizu Tohei. The Eighth Route Army is attacking from three sides. Washizu Tohei's troops and the Marine Corps are defending."
, but their number was not large to begin with, and now they are divided into three parts, and the weather is still raining heavily, which is very unfavorable."
Itagaki Seishiro breathed in and said, "If it rains heavily, even air support will be impossible. Damn it, how could it be like this? Where is the nearest fleet? Can a new fleet be mobilized to protect Lianyungang?"
Nishio shook his head and said, "I have already sent a message to Tokyo. I hope Tokyo can coordinate this matter."
"Report, call from Tokyo." A staff officer came over and said.
Itagaki Seishiro stretched out his hand and said, "Show me."
Itagaki Seishiro looked at it and cursed, "These naval forces, do they know what they are doing? They actually said that the battleships were lost because of the poor protection of our army. Not only will they not give us support, but they will also go to His Majesty the Emperor to complain." us."
Nishio snorted and said, "I have guessed this ending. Now I can only continue to coordinate with the navy, and let Washijin Shihei persist... I hope the Eighth Route Army will not capture Lianyungang so quickly, Shandong and Xuzhou The troops have already set off... It’s just that the Eighth Route Army will not fail to set up blocking positions, now it’s up to us who can seize the time.”
——Lianyungang
At this time, the sky was gradually getting brighter, and Jiang Guoping and others had already evacuated.
"Quick! Quick!!" A group of Eighth Route Army rushed into Lianyungang under the cover of artillery fire. A few bullets fired from the room knocked down a soldier. The other soldiers immediately fell down and fought back. Several smoking grenades were thrown in. into the room. With a bang, two or three Japanese soldiers were blown out. Their whole bodies were covered with wounds, and it looked like they would not survive.
"Is it the Eighth Route Army?" A sudden cry attracted the attention of the Eighth Route Army. When the leading commander looked, a man wearing a blue hat and dressed as a worker emerged from the sewer.
"Who are you?" the commander asked curiously.
"I am from the underground trade union, please let us help you lead the way." The man hurriedly took out his arm, which was tied with the agreed red ribbon.
The commander said happily, "Great, do you know where the Japs' headquarters is? Take us there quickly. As long as the Japs' headquarters is taken away, the Japs will be finished."
The worker smiled and said, "I know, let's go, let's go, I'll take you there, we've been waiting for you to come."
