The Japanese military also expressed great surprise at what happened in Laiyang, but immediately after confirming it, they acted very quickly. The sea, land and air cooperated to nip this matter in the bud. Otherwise, it would cause serious consequences.
Good influence. For example, increasing the morale of the Chinese side, etc.
…
"Information to the All Chinese People: At the end of September, our Shandong Independent Division annihilated a total of more than 15,000 Japanese troops in the 11th Mixed Brigade in the Laiyang area, and thus controlled the Laiyang area for more than two months. Now it is exposed,
The Japanese aggressors wanted to completely annihilate our independent division, so they mobilized tens of thousands of people from the sea, land and air forces. Although our independent division has been silent for a long time, it does not want to be a slave to the subjugation of the country. I hereby inform the entire Chinese people that the Japanese aggressors will never die in their determination to destroy China. Our independent division
Our troops will resolutely not retreat even half a step, and will defend the country to the death. The people in the position will be there. Independent Division, Zhou Weiguo respectfully. December 10, 27th year of the Republic of China."
…
A clear telegram from Zhou Weiguo aroused confidence and concern throughout China.
…
Yan'an
"Order that all ministries in Shandong, Hebei and Henan launch feint attacks or decoy attacks on Japanese county towns, and do not allow the Japanese to transfer soldiers from these places to Laiyang."
"yes!"
"Also, let all the troops in Shandong listen to Zhou Weiguo's dispatch. Immediately ask all ministries to send reports to Zhou Weiguo's headquarters."
"yes!"
…
Chongqing
"I didn't expect that this little guy... eh." Jiang Zhongzheng shook his head, and then sighed. Now, the large forces of the national army can no longer reach places like Shandong, and they feel very powerless.
"Principal." Dai Li wanted to say something.
"Yunong, I remember that Wei Guo's wife should be giving birth soon." Chiang Kai-shek said.
"Um."
"Send someone over. Protecting his wife and children is the only thing we can do now. Remember, be fast."
"yes!"
…
To the east of Haiyang, is the Yellow Sea.
"Brother, look, they are all Japanese warships." Sun Fugui looked at the black spots on the sea in the distance, then put down the telescope and said.
"Hehe, there are quite a lot of people here." Zhu Ziming chuckled and said, "Let the artilleryman greet them well."
"Okay."
…
"Your Excellency, Captain, ahead is Haiyang, which is the closest seaside city to Laiyang. Are we going to land from Haiyang?" a soldier asked.
"Yo Xi, is there a port in Haiyang?" A Japanese colonel asked casually, with a natural sense of superiority in his heart. Those idiots in the army actually lost a county town. They still have to rely on their navy. I'm really happy.
"There is not a big port. There is just a natural inlet to the southwest of Haiyang where warships can stop for a while."
"Yo Xi, let's go then." The Japanese commander waved his hand and said.
As soon as he waved his hand, the Japanese colonel saw a black spot in his field of vision, which was slowly getting bigger. Then, he heard some strange noise...
Then, his pupils shrank, because after the black spot became larger, it turned out to look like a cannonball...
"Yalu! Hidden! Hidden! Turn to the north, now!" Colonel's crazy cry rang out. He never thought that his navy would be attacked.
"Your Excellency, Captain, Your Excellency, Captain!" the vice-captain quickly grabbed the captain, and then said, "Please calm down, please calm down!" At this moment, the battleship shook violently. The vice-captain breathed a sigh of relief, and the enemy
The shells did not fall on their battleship. They only hit the sea water next to them, causing the battleship to shake a little.
"Yo Xi, Yo Xi." The Japanese commander came back to his senses. The fear of being dominated by such a big shell made him a little dazed. How long had it been since he had seen such a flying shell from the opposite side? "Order
, fire at Haiyang!”
"Hi!" The vice-captain was about to start commanding when he felt the battleship shake again.
…
"Hit the gun again, why are you so stupid?" Sun Fugui looked at dozens of artillerymen, commanding a group of infantrymen and conducting operations according to the operation manual of the train gun.
"Captain Sun, there is always a chance that we will miss." A captain smiled and said to Sun Fugui, "Don't worry, we will definitely hit a few Japanese warships."
"Okay, then come on!"
Then, the captain directed the soldiers to play with the angle, range and so on.
Then another shot came out.
Sun Fugui held a telescope and looked into the distance, and then he saw the cannonball hitting a Japanese warship. He laughed and said, "It hit, it hit!"
But soon, he saw dense shells flying towards the shore of Haiyang.
"Oh my dear mother, the Japanese are going crazy." After saying that, Sun Fugui hurriedly hid aside.
Seeing the shells falling less than 2 miles in front of the train gun, I felt a little scared.
At this time, the artillery captain also started to get serious and said, "Xiaowu and Xiaoliu, take people to command the cannons next to you. Remember, adjust the angle well. It doesn't matter if you miss the target once, as long as you hit it well every time."
It would be nice if the Japanese warships were closer!"
"yes!"
…
"Yalu!" The Japanese colonel looked at the burning battleship, but the enemy's shells actually hit the fuel tank. Moreover, he did not expect that the enemy actually deployed a fort with such a far range in Haiyang. You must know that he is now far away from the sea.
The shore of Yangyang is still 10 kilometers away. Although under normal circumstances, when the Japanese are fighting from sea to land, the warships will usually be 30 kilometers away from the coast. However, it is obvious that this time the Japanese have underestimated the enemy.
After a while, another dark cannonball landed on his battleship. This time, it hit the deck.
"Yalu! Retreat to other warships! Call for help immediately!"
…
"One ship has been destroyed!" a soldier shouted, and then he saw a cannonball flying towards him, and he was so frightened that he squatted on the ground. The previous cannonballs had landed more than 1,000 meters in front of the position.
This time, the Japanese shells actually hit the position.
"Ah!" screams sounded. It was obvious that some soldiers were injured...
Soon, the Japanese artillery shells began to fall densely on nearby positions.
There were explosions everywhere, small fires everywhere, and smoke rising everywhere.
…
"Damn it, beat me hard! Zhang Feng doesn't believe this!" The artillery captain pushed away an artilleryman who was operating, and personally began to adjust the angle, measure the wind speed, and then began to estimate the coordinates.
Although they just destroyed a Japanese warship, they used 5 artillery shells. Now more than 20 Japanese warships are lined up in sequence, with an awe-inspiring momentum that makes many soldiers fearful. You know, many of his soldiers here have never been on board
On the battlefield. As a technical arm, how to counterattack under enemy fire is a very important compulsory course.
Then, a cannonball flew out and hit a Japanese warship.
"Don't be afraid, give me a good fight! Did you see that Japanese ship is about to sink? There are only more than 20 Japanese ships, and we have so many artillery shells, what are we afraid of?" Zhang Feng cursed loudly.
"Yes!" Sure enough, Zhang Feng's action gave other soldiers some courage to fight back under the bombardment of Japanese warships.
