Heroes of the War of Resistance

"Gah! Quick, get ready to counterattack immediately! Get rid of those damn coastal defense guns for me!"

The most feared thing finally happened, which really made the fleet commander very angry.Immediately instruct the heavy cruisers of the fleet to start locking the coastal defense guns on the shore and carry out fixed-point artillery strikes.But all of this takes time.

I thought that the coastal defense artillery positions, even if there were people, were almost destroyed by the previous two light cruisers.In fact, although the Japanese army marked the location of the coastal defense artillery positions, it was difficult to achieve precise strikes.

The destroyed coastal defense guns were naturally unable to be used.The coastal defense artillery, which had survived the previous naval artillery attack, began to dump shells on the Japanese ships on the sea.As long as it is hit by a shell, the warship will be severely damaged if it does not sink.

The artillery commander, who was always staring at his watch, urged desperately: "Quick! Show up your strength and beat these damned short gongs hard. Make sure they know that if they want to occupy our territory, they will have to pay a heavy price." cost!"

Although the firing speed of the coastal defense artillery is relatively slow, every round of artillery shells fired, as long as one round hits the target, the little devil warship on the sea will billow thick smoke.A warship with a smaller displacement was directly sunk by one shot!

Looking at the menacing Japanese heavy cruiser, the artillery commander was also very nervous.When the five minutes were up, he immediately blew the whistle hanging on his chest and shouted: "Withdraw from the battle! Everyone, withdraw from the battle immediately! Quick!"

The ear-piercing whistle sounded, and the French artillery, whose ears were almost deafened, left the position quickly.Jump into the artillery pit next to it, and then quickly withdraw from the position.

Not long after entering the tunnel, the Japanese naval guns roared again.A round of powerful large-caliber naval artillery shells exploded at the coastal defense artillery position in an instant.The hills where the coastal defense guns are erected can also feel the constant vibration of the ground.

"God! We finally survived! If there is another minute at night, we will go to see God!"

"Haha! Did you see that? We sank a Fuso warship earlier, it felt so cool!"

The artillerymen hiding in the artillery pits below the mountain seemed extremely excited at this meeting.For them, choosing to stay is also for the honor of the soldiers.But in fact, when the war came, many officers and soldiers were shaking in their hands and feet.

Fortunately, the previous operation

When conducting coastal defense artillery, they all showed the proper artillery literacy.In addition, the commander emphasized that he retreated when he heard the whistle.Fortunately, all the officers and soldiers involved in the bombardment managed to escape before the Japanese counterattacked.

After receiving a call from the coastal defense artillery position, Major Peake also said excitedly: "Captain Alan, you did a great job! Wait a minute, I will call the Governor and give you a promotion! When the shelling is over, you will be able to It can be withdrawn!"

"Yes, sir! Thank you for your wise command! We won't be able to get down if there is one more minute at night!"

"This is what it should be! When you get out of the battle safely, I will invite all of you to drink!"

"Yes, sir!"

Major Peake also did not explain the gratitude of the artillery captain, which was not his credit at all.In fact, Lei Xiong didn't think there was anything wrong with this.At present, the French troops in the city need to accept the command of Major Peake.

Although before leaving, Governor Louis promoted Pique by one level.But most of the officers who choose to stay at this moment are officers below the major.Most of the officers with the same rank as Major Peake chose to run away with the governor.

Perhaps in the eyes of these senior officers, they are unwilling to accept the command of Pique, and are more willing to go to the rear and continue to enjoy the treatment that their senior officers should have.Regarding their departure, Major Peake also felt that it was actually not bad.

There is no officer with a higher rank than him, and it is easier for him to control these remaining troops.As long as he can lead these troops to continue to win battles, then he may also be promoted to a senior officer and become a hero of France.

After the artillery fire from the Japanese fleet covered the entire coastal defense artillery position, the Japanese fleet finally stopped shelling, and realized that the colonial troops stationed in the city had not left, but had prepared for the battle in advance.

"Send me an order, the fleet will continue to move forward, and destroy all the buildings on the shore!"

"Hi!"

Looking at the several small ships that sank into the sea, as well as the damaged ships that had to withdraw from the battle, the fleet commander was also extremely angry.Fortunately, the troop carriers following behind the fleet were not hit.

In order to ensure the safety of the landing troops, the fleet commander immediately decided to bomb all the coastal areas where the infantry landed.If there is a defensive force in the city, then the opponent will definitely set up a defensive position on the shore, which must be completely destroyed.

After solving the coastal defense artillery that threatened the fleet the most, the Japanese fleet finally no longer concealed anything.From the perspective of the fleet commander, it was getting late now, and he had to send the landing troops he had brought to land safely.

In this case, perhaps they will be able to announce that they have successfully captured Haiphong City by dawn.With such a forward position, the subsequent reinforcements dispatched by the Japanese army can also be successively invested in the battle to fully occupy Indochina.

The defensive troops hidden in the city did not build fortifications on the shore at all.From the beginning to the end, Hu Biao never thought that he could hold Haiphong City.Letting Lei Xiong bring troops over this time is more to transfer away the leftover supplies.

In addition, even if the troops abandon Haiphong City, he will leave an empty city and abandoned city for the little devil.The Japanese army wanted to use Haiphong City as a landing place for supplies, so they would find a way to mobilize more supplies and repair Haiphong City first!

Hiding in the defensive position outside the range of the naval guns, looking at the open area of ​​the port, it was washed by the little devil's naval guns one after another.Even though the distance is a bit far, the officers and soldiers in the defensive position couldn't help exclaiming: "This shell is powerful enough!"

"Yeah! Fortunately, we didn't build fortifications there, otherwise we would definitely not be able to withstand the little devil's naval guns. If such a naval shell hits, there may not be any living things in the bombing center. Damn, the little devil is strong enough ah!"

"No matter how powerful it is, there is a ball to use! Why don't you let us set off firecrackers as usual? Such a naval shell is probably quite valuable. The little devil smashed it like this, and all he smashed is money! The so-called cannon fires, gold million Two!"

"Yes! Rich, the little devil is too rich!"

If the little devil on the warship heard these words, he would probably vomit blood in anger.Seeing the site where the port landed, it has been bombed and pitted, the fleet command

The officer also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they should not be blocked from landing now!

When the minesweepers of the Japanese army finally entered the military port where the French Fleet had previously docked, these minesweepers did not come into contact with mines.Just when the little devil on the minesweeper was curious, there was a blast from below the minesweeper.

Looking at the bombed minesweeper, the other onlookers were also extremely puzzled.In their view, if there are mines, the minesweepers should trigger them in advance.Why, the mine was detonated under the minesweeper?

If someone asks at this moment, they will know that the mine that Hu Biao has placed in the port is also the latest magnetic mine developed by Shillong Arsenal.The way this unconventional mine is triggered and detonated is very different from previous mines.

This also means that if the little devil uses conventional mine-sweeping methods to clear these mines, it is definitely impossible.It turned out that the minesweeper responsible for clearing the mines not only failed to sweep out the mines, but put itself in them.

The fleet commander who heard the news was extremely shocked and said, "What about it? The minesweeper can't clear the mines. How is this possible?"

From the perspective of fleet commanders, minesweepers are professional ships dedicated to clearing mines.Why here, but failed to clean up the mines buried in the port?Even, many minesweepers triggered the mines and paralyzed themselves!

On the contrary, Lei Xiong and others, who were hiding in the command room, looked happy and said: "Haha, beautiful! I guess the little devil will have a headache now, how to clean up the mines in the port!"

"Tonight, it is probably impossible! Inform the artillery unit and prepare for the shelling!"

"Yes, wolf head!"

Because no one else was there, Hu Biao didn't have to hide his identity, he took over the command of the battle, and prepared to give the little devil another surprise landing.I believe that by then, the little devil will know how tragic the consequences of the landing operation will be!

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Unable to clean up the mines laid in the port, the Japanese ships could not dock normally.Faced with this situation, the commander of the Japanese fleet also found it extremely difficult, and found that this landing operation seemed to be beyond his control.

First, the intelligence system lost contact, so that the fleet had no idea what was going on in the city.Although the coastal defense guns deployed in the port had been destroyed, the Japanese fleet also paid a high price, and several warships had to withdraw from the combat order.

Even some warships with a smaller displacement tonnage had already begun to sink, and the officers and soldiers on the warships had no choice but to be rescued back to other warships.Before the arrival of the fleet, I believe neither the fleet commander nor his subordinates expected such a result.

Originally, according to the prediction of the Japanese army, the colonial government of Indochina, which had lost domestic support, would very likely choose to surrender after a little resistance in the face of their strong attack.The attack from the land flank had proved this to the Japanese commanders.

Even if the troops of the colonial government resisted a little, the combat effectiveness of the colonial troops was extremely low, and they were defeated and fled before they fought for a long time.Two days later in the night, it is estimated that the troops attacking from the flanking land will be able to reach the city of Haiphong.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker, the commander of the Japanese fleet finally said: "Gunboat cover, order the troop carrier to start landing, and at the same time dispatch the attacking troops, establish a beachhead on the beach ahead to cover the follow-up troops landing and attacking the city."

"Hi!"

As the defensive side, Hu Biao and others are also constantly observing every move of the Japanese fleet.Seeing the troop carrier approaching the beach and jumping off the ship one after another with countless armed attacking little devils, an officer soon said: "The little devils are here!"

"Don't worry! Let the little devil eat some sweetness first, and let the defense troops prepare for the battle!"

"Yes, Master!"

The heavy artillery battalion, which was ready for shelling, had to be ordered by Hu Biao before firing.Before that, the rest of the artillery unit will follow Lei Xiong's order to assist the defense forces outside the city and prevent the little devil from approaching Haiphong City.

The first regiment and one battalion at the front soon received a call from the rear headquarters, and the first battalion commander was also very excited: "Notify the companies and get ready to fight! Haha, it's our turn to go! Tell Those bastards, give me a good beat!"
