super god warlord

In the charging team of the Japanese army, the soldiers were knocked down one after another, but these soldiers who believed in the spirit of bushido did not hesitate at all and continued to charge forward.Everyone was shooting desperately with the weapons in their hands, but there were four thousand Japanese troops, and it was difficult for the defenders with only 400 to kill them all.

At this time, the sound of the cannon was much duller than that of the mountain cannon, and a huge column of smoke rose from the Japanese army's charging team.Harem Chun was startled suddenly, and everyone who saw the huge crater was shocked.It turned out that this was the Shizilin Fort a few kilometers away, and it was supporting this direction with a 360mm caliber fortress gun.

The 360 ​​mm caliber cannon has a huge explosion power enough to open a huge pit tens of meters wide. Even if the Japanese soldiers are scattered in formation, one shell can kill hundreds of people.Seeing that the opponent had such a huge cannon, the Japanese army had no choice but to retreat.

After receiving the news of the Japanese army's attack, Zhou Jianping quickly put the reserve team in this direction, and the Japanese army's attack became even more difficult to work.When Kawashima Yoshiyuki heard that the attack was blocked, he immediately transported the field artillery brigade to land first, and the battle between the two sides was gradually escalating.

On the battlefield in Qilu Province, the Chinese and Japanese troops also began tentative contact.After Yuan Kui agreed to the Shu Army's participation in the war, the No.15 Infantry Division and No.19 Infantry Division stationed in Guanghai City, as well as the First Artillery Division, which received equipment and was undergoing adaptive training in Guanghai City, were all transferred to Guanghai City. Qilu Province.In addition, a batch of trucks urgently produced in the automobile factory of Guangming Group was also allocated to the artillery division to increase mobility.

At the end of November, the No.11 Infantry Division arrived in Tai'an, and the No.15 Infantry Division and the First Artillery Division arrived in Zhucheng, completing the offensive preparations designed by the General Staff Headquarters. On December 19, the 12th Regiment of the No.1 Infantry Division and the Artillery Regiment under the division marched towards Gaomi, preparing to cut off the return route of the Japanese troops stationed in Jinan and Weixian County.

The Japanese army quickly discovered the movement of the Shu army. The 24st Regiment of the 81th Mixed Brigade of the [-]th Division quickly built fortifications, held fast to Gaomi City, and at the same time asked for help from the main force of the [-]th Division of Huangdao.Hearing that the Hualan army had taken the initiative to attack, division commander Mitsuomi Kamio was not surprised but pleased. He thought this was his chance to make contributions.

While Kamio Mitsuomi ordered the 81st Regiment to defend, he mobilized the 29th Brigade and the 22nd Field Heavy Artillery Regiment for reinforcements.The proud 81st Regiment believed that the opposing Hualan army's combat effectiveness was low, let alone sticking to the ground, even if they took the initiative to attack, they could win.However, the divisional artillery regiment of the No.19 Infantry Division quickly taught them a lesson. The 24 Chuan-1 105mm caliber howitzers produced by the Zhongchuan Arsenal quickly roared. The earth shakes and the mountains shake.

When the officers and soldiers of the Japanese army were training in the country, although they also had shelling training subjects, they all used small 57mm cannons, all of which were loaded with empty shells, and their power was very different.Suddenly being attacked by a [-]mm heavy artillery, even the most experienced Japanese veteran turned pale with fright.

The Shu army did not have any awareness of hand-to-hand combat. They used howitzers to bombard them all day long, and finally one of the howitzers from the [-]st Artillery Division also joined in.The Japanese army's position was bombed into a mess, many people's ears were ringing, and the casualties were even more severe.

On the first day, the Shu army did not launch an infantry attack, and killed hundreds of Japanese troops with shelling alone, which made the Japanese people feel tremendous pressure.Hearing that the artillery of the Hualan army was so sharp, the reinforcements of the Japanese army sped up their speed, taking advantage of the convenience of the Jiaoji Railway, and finally arrived at Gaomi in the middle of the night.

After arriving, the reinforcements quickly entered the position, and several brigade commanders also felt very troubled after hearing the introduction of the 81st regiment leader.In their view, the Hualan infantry was very weak, but the opponent only used artillery to attack.

The brigade head of the 29th Brigade, Major General Kamio Temple, decided to send infantry to attack at night. Only in this way can he avoid the opponent's artillery advantage and give full play to the power of the Japanese army in hand-to-hand combat. The 104th Wing accepted the mission. They had just arrived and had no time to rest, so they immediately launched an attack at night.

In order to avoid the attack of Hualan artillery, the soldiers of the Japanese army quietly crawled out of the position, bowed their bodies and touched the opposite position.Japanese soldiers were trained strictly and had high quality in close combat, so they were full of confidence in night raids.

Chapter 558 It's So Long

A nimble Japanese soldier led his team to run ahead. In his opinion, the time for his meritorious deeds was coming. As long as he occupied the Hualan Army's position in the dark and killed those cowardly Hualan infantry, he would You can be promoted to lieutenant.

Juncao, who was full of thoughts of getting promoted and getting rich, undoubtedly stepped into a pit, and he didn't care about it.Since the battlefield is full of potholes, it's not unusual for him to step on one.When the sergeant pulled his foot out of the hole and continued to move forward, a black cylinder suddenly popped up in the hole.

The soldiers behind only felt a flash in front of their eyes, and before they understood what was going on, the cylinder exploded.The violent explosion threw the steel balls and shrapnel in the cylinder in all directions, and a small group of Japanese soldiers was almost lost.The sergeant who was walking in front had his forehead pierced by a steel ball, and he had brought his dream of promotion to see Amaterasu early.

The sound of the explosion alarmed the sentries of the Shu army on the ground. Immediately, more than a dozen machine guns fired one after another. The tracer bullets illuminated the dark battlefield, and the Japanese army's night attack troops were fully exposed.Seeing that the sneak attack failed, the Japanese soldiers who had already approached the position immediately changed to a strong attack.They ignored the landmines that exploded one after another, shouted onboard, and rushed over with the [-]-style rifle.

Soldiers from various units were sleeping in the nearby artillery holes. When they heard the gunshots in the position, the officers and soldiers sleeping in their clothes immediately rushed out of the bunker and entered the position.Due to the small number of sentries, even though the battlefield was sealed off with machine guns, a large number of Japanese soldiers attacked the front of the position.

"On board." Seeing that they were approaching each other, the excited Japanese soldiers rushed into the position waving their bayonet-mounted Type [-] rifles.

"Shoot the devil down." The officers and soldiers of the Shu Army shouted, and also greeted them with Type [-] rifles with bayonets.

The infantry on both sides fought fiercely inside and outside the trenches. Fighting bayonets in such terrain, the Shu army, which valued formation, was at a disadvantage because it was difficult for them to use the classic triangular formation.But after several years of training, the stabbing technique created by Liu Qingshun has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the soldiers are extremely familiar with this kind of knife technique.

Relying on their height, strength and superior stabbing skills, the Shu army defeated the Japanese soldiers steadily.The Japanese people never imagined that there is actually a Hualan army that pays more attention to bayonet training than the Japanese soldiers. When the two sides fought hand-to-hand, they realized that they were not opponents at all.

At this time, the squad leaders and deputy squad leaders played a huge role. Today's Shu army has popularized Type [-] submachine guns in the hands of squad leaders. This rapid-fire weapon, which is very suitable for trench warfare, played a huge role at this time.Those Japanese soldiers who rushed up foolishly with bayonets were quickly swept down by the submachine guns in the hands of the squad leaders.

The Japanese soldiers' night charge was quickly driven back. Seeing that the opponent had already noticed, Kamio Temple immediately ordered the heavy artillery to fight back.In fact, today's Japanese army is extremely embarrassed, because for many years military expenditures have been completely inclined to the navy, so it has been difficult for the army's weapons to be heavy-duty.For example, Japan's best heavy field artillery unit is equipped with only 75mm mountain artillery.

Dozens of mountain cannons from the [-]nd Field Heavy Artillery Regiment opened fire at the same time, and the dense artillery shells immediately covered the positions of the Shu army. However, they did not know that the experienced officers and soldiers of the Shu army had already hid in the anti-gun holes, leaving only a few observation posts in the position. superior.

As the artillerymen of the Japanese army opened fire, their positions were fully exposed. The two artillery regiments of the artillery division and the artillery regiment directly under the [-]th Infantry Division fired back one after another, only hiding the first regiment equipped with [-]mm caliber heavy cannons.

The [-]mm howitzer was so powerful that it quickly suppressed the firepower of the Japanese artillery.The artillery positions of the Japanese army were bombed into a mess, and they had to move their positions soon.That night, the Japanese army launched several consecutive night raids, but they were all driven back by the Shu army. The Japanese army suffered more than [-] casualties, while the Shu army's casualties were less than [-].If it wasn't for the darkness and the blurry field of fire, it is estimated that the Japanese army's casualties would increase dramatically.

This night is destined to be extraordinary, and it is the same in Guanghai City.Harem Chun was exhausted from the attack during the day, so he had no choice but to lead the troops to dig a good position to garrison and expand the landing field for the main force to disembark.Since it was already dark, the three brigades that had not yet disembarked decided to stop landing and wait until tomorrow.In addition to keeping the destroyers near the coast to protect the troop carriers, the second fleet retreated to the open sea to stand by.

When it was completely dark, the destroyer detachment and torpedo boat brigade stationed in Yangshan Port quietly left the port, and they wanted to attack the Japanese army at night.The two fleets assigned tasks. The torpedo boat brigade went to the landing site, while the destroyer detachment attacked the enemy's main fleet in the open sea.

That night, I couldn't see my fingers, and there was still a light rain in the sky.The light rain in winter is cold and humid. The Japanese sailors who are not used to this kind of weather have long hid in a corner to keep warm.The Japanese sailors were not irresponsible, because in their view, it was such a dark night that even if the opponent wanted to sneak attack, they couldn't find the target.

It's a pity that the Japanese soldiers didn't know that all the warships of the Guanghaicheng fleet had coordinate recorders.These recorders, which use transistor printed circuits and can accurately measure the coordinates of warships to the second, were specially configured by Zhongchuan Electric Factory for the navy.

With these devices, they can sail slowly even in the dark of night.With the precise coordinates of the Japanese ship provided by Zhao Shouhong and the help of the coordinate recorder, Du Xigui can roughly determine the opponent's location.Du Xigui, who was in charge of staying behind in Guanghai City, held back all day today, listening to the sound of Japanese ships shelling Wusongkou, he was very anxious.

As the deputy commander of the navy, seeing the army and the navy confront each other, but he can't help him, this is the greatest torment for him.Fortunately, it was getting late, and Du Xigui was finally able to show his talents.

Ten nautical miles away from the intelligence coordinates, the destroyer fleet reduced its speed to a minimum, and slowly approached the main Japanese fleet.Since the destroyer fleet was in the upwind position and covered by the sound of pattering rain, the Japanese army had no way of noticing it.

The ship-borne small boat was put down, and their task was to find out the position of the Japanese warship.The small boats came back soon, and the Japanese fleet was very close. They were arranged very densely, but the sides were all covered with lightning protection nets.Du Xigui was not worried about this, because the torpedoes used by the Shu army had wheel saws for cutting nets.This is a black-headed torpedo modified by the torpedo workshop of Guanghai City Shipyard according to Zhao Shouhong's request, and it is specially used to deal with the lightning protection net of the capital ship.

Chapter 559 Torpedo Night Battle

The leading destroyer Huxing first fired two torpedoes, and the torpedoes equipped with gyroscopes shot straight ahead and quickly disappeared into the night.The Huxing's torpedo was only aimed at the approximate location. Anyway, there are many warships on the other side, so there is a high chance of winning the prize.

The destroyer Huxing was very lucky, a torpedo accurately hit the side of Tango.After cutting the lightning protection net, the round mine head exploded at the battleship's waterline.The huge explosion woke up the Japanese soldiers, and all the ships who didn't know what happened turned on their searchlights one after another.The light rain obstructed the sight of the Japanese people, making it difficult for them to look far away.

The Japanese soldiers didn't know that they couldn't see the situation with their eyes, but the turned on searchlights became the target of the destroyer fleet.As the searchlights were turned on one after another, the destroyers of the Shu army fired their torpedoes one after another.There were many tracks on the water, and several battleships were shot one after another.

Although the Japanese soldiers reacted immediately and turned off the searchlights one after another, it was too late.Fires ignited on several warships that were hit, illuminating the entire Japanese Second Fleet.The feast of hunting has begun, and the destroyer fleet of the Shu army has successfully attacked.

When the destroyer led by Du Xigui dropped the torpedo, the torpedo boat brigade had already approached the opponent.There was an explosion in the distance, and the Japanese soldiers who woke up quickly rushed to the deck to check what happened.The flames in the distance had already illuminated the sky, and even though it was covered by rain more than ten kilometers away, it was still clearly visible.

"Our battleship was attacked." A sailor exclaimed.

"Damn Hualan people, they don't dare to fight us upright, they will only sneak up and plot against us." A Japanese military officer cursed loudly.However, he overlooked one point. The Japanese navy started out with sneak attacks, and every time there was a big war, it would always launch a sneak attack first.

The Japanese officers and soldiers only looked at the flames in the direction of the battleship fleet, but did not find the approaching torpedo boat.These torpedo boats are small in size and low in freeboard, making them very difficult to spot in the dark.However, the officers and soldiers of the Shu army on the torpedo boat could clearly see the blurred shadow of the enemy ship in front by the flickering fire in the distance.

The lead torpedo boat aimed at the largest shadow first and fired its own torpedo.Because the distance is close, and knowing that there are no large ships here, the torpedo boats are very frugal in launching torpedoes, basically all launching a single torpedo.

The first torpedo plunged into the water without a sound, and rushed straight towards the target.The ship with the biggest target was a troop carrier carrying two brigades of the Japanese army. When they heard the explosion just now, all the army officers and soldiers ran to the deck to look around.An army sergeant inadvertently lowered his head and saw a straight line of water coming towards him. As a new discovery, he grabbed the naval officer next to him and said, "Look, what kind of fish is that? It's swimming so fast. "

"Is there any fish?" The naval officer lowered his head, and immediately saw the straight track, his face changed drastically: "Torpedo, it's a torpedo."

"Torpedo? What kind of fish is a torpedo?" The army sergeant did not turn around for a while, and rushed to ask what fish the other party was talking about. The torpedo had already hit the side of the ship.The violent explosion lifted the officers and soldiers on the deck into the air, and the army sergeant was torn to pieces by the shock wave immediately, and he no longer had to think about what kind of fish it was.

Encountered a sudden attack, the unprepared Japanese destroyer fleet was also in chaos. They ran to their battle positions one after another, hoping to find the enemy at the first time, but the torpedo boats had already attacked first.This batch of 021-class torpedo boats of the Shu Army imitating the "Pirate" torpedo boat of the Gallic Kingdom has a displacement of only 150 two tons.

These torpedo boats broke into the fleet in the dark, and they were like killing gods.The torpedo boat has a shallow draft, and even if the torpedo passes under the boat, there is no need to worry about being hit. Therefore, these officers and soldiers let go of their hands and feet and fired torpedoes at the nearby destroyers.The Japanese destroyers were also very flexible, but unfortunately they had already shut down at night, and it would take at least 10 minutes to refill the boiler with steam.

The destroyers of the Japanese army were unable to move, and they could not see the enemies around them clearly. Their machine guns could only fire around to embolden themselves.The torpedo boats of the Shu army have clear targets, and it is almost impossible for them to miss a fixed target due to their well-trained training.

When the first Japanese destroyer was finally full of steam and ready to start, the torpedo boat brigade of the Shu army had already left after shooting the torpedoes, and all they could do was to salvage their own drowning personnel.

The sky gradually turned white, and the officers and soldiers of the Japanese army who had been tossing all night were finally able to see the surrounding situation clearly.At this time, Lieutenant Admiral Kato Sadayoshi, whose face was full of black smoke, stood on the bridge, staring blankly at the tragic scene in front of him, his heart twitching.Because of his carelessness at night, he was successfully attacked by the Shu army, and the main fleet suffered heavy losses.The battleship Iwami was sunk, and the Tango was hit by two torpedoes. Fortunately, it was not critical, and it managed to barely float on the water.The armored cruiser Mijima was sunk, and the only remaining light cruisers, Chitose and Chiyoda, were also sunk.

According to the information sent by the coast, the losses there were even more severe.Because the destroyers were densely arranged on the shore, and they were unable to move after parking, most of the warships were sunk as a result.The troop carriers suffered the most damage. Because these troop carriers were the largest, they received the most attention from the torpedo boats. At this time, these merchant ships with poor sinkability had all sunk.

Only three destroyers, including Baiyun, were left floating on the water. The cruiser Tone, as the flagship of the Second Mine Squadron, was parked here, so it escaped disaster.The rest are only the torpedo boats of the two sea-sweeping teams A and B, and the hospital ship Hachimanmaru. It can be said that the Second Fleet has been completely wiped out.

"Immediately send a report to the military headquarters to request support, and order the army to return to the beach position and stick to the treatment." Lieutenant General Kato Sadayoshi had to report the situation truthfully and wait for the military department's ruling.

After receiving the report, the military department immediately ordered Lieutenant General Kato Yusaburo to lead the first fleet to immediately rescue Guanghai City. At the same time, the military department also brought them a brigade of infantry and added a field heavy artillery unit.

In order to alleviate his guilt, Lieutenant General Kato Sadayoshi exaggerated the size of the night attack fleet in the telegram.As a result, the Japanese military mistakenly believed that the main force of the navy under Zhao Shouhong's control was in Guanghai City, so they confidently sent the first fleet there, hoping to annihilate the opponent's naval fleet.
