Age of Rebirth

From the frontier positions of the Japanese army at Lushunkou, one can clearly see that under the bright sunny sky and the rolling waves of the Bohai Sea, the troop fleet of the Independent Division comes from the depths of the sea where the water and the sky are the same color, just like the waves. The little black dots dancing in the middle of the sea appeared in the sight of the Japanese soldiers in a very impactful manner. At this moment, the telescopic lenses of countless Japanese officers were all aimed at the sea.

The captain of the Coastal Artillery Regiment of the Seventh Army of the Kwantung Army, Colonel Kiyosaki, was so excited that his body trembled slightly, and he was looking forward to it. Since the formation of the Coastal Artillery Regiment, the 48 large-caliber howitzers have never displayed their real power. Wei Li, today, the target to be bombarded is the Independent Division, the deadly enemy of the Empire of Japan, the Chinese people. When the shell exploded, the broken limbs of the Chinese soldiers and the faint red color should be mixed in the water column, which should be a pair of What a wonderful picture scroll?

"The enemy fleet is still eight kilometers away from the range of the shore artillery, and there are still seven kilometers...! The sound of the combat staff's mechanical counting is extremely monotonous and harsh in the dead and silent wing headquarters, but In the ears of Colonel Kiyosaki, it is a beautiful note, because every time the count is reported, it means that 10,000+ Chinese soldiers are one step closer to death!

"The enemy fleet is still four kilometers away from the range of the shore artillery!" The combat staff reported the distance again. Colonel Kiyosaki "swiped", drew out his command saber, slowly raised it into the air, and then stood still, although in this case , It is not necessary for His Excellency to go into battle in person, but Kiyosaki still likes it. This kind of command method best reflects the aura of the Imperial Japanese Army officer. All the subordinates know that when His Excellency's command knife is slammed down, it is When the entire alliance is firing its guns!

Therefore, the staff officers standing by the telephone.It feels very hard. On the one hand, you have to pay attention to listening to the combat staff of the regiment, and constantly report the approaching distance of the enemy fleet. On the other hand, you have to pay attention to your eyes. Your Excellency’s movements, you have to use one mind and two tasks to test the emperor. The brain water and IQ of the police officer!

Kiyosaki Osamu's arm holding the commanding saber aloft felt a little sore.Still can't hear the combat staff continue to report the independent division's troop transport fleet and continue to approach. If he puts down his command knife, Kiyosaki will definitely not do it.

Waited another 10 minutes.Colonel Kiyosaki's right arm was so sore that it was about to break.Still haven't heard.The combat staff officer reported that the enemy troop transport fleet had entered the range of coastal defense artillery fire. He raised his binoculars suspiciously and observed the sea surface. Is everything normal?

"Baga! Why don't you continue to report the number! Are you out of your mind?" Kiyosaki Colonel shouted angrily at the combat staff officer.

A combat staff officer with the rank of captain.He replied very aggrieved: "Your Excellency, Captain, according to observations, the enemy troop transport fleet did not continue to approach. Instead, it stayed where it was, and I cannot report the data!" He was telling the truth. When the troopship fleet reached the firing range of the coastal defense artillery, four kilometers away, it stopped for no reason. What the hell?

"Haney?—Baga!" Kiyosaki gave a strange cry, and then cursed angrily, with a fierce look in his eyes, and then he rushed over a few steps, "Crack!" He rounded his arms and looked at the staff officer's face It's just a ruthless big mouth, so ruthless!

"Baga!——Damn Chinaman, you are so cunning, what the hell are you doing?" General Kiyosaki was so angry that he was going crazy. This bastard staff officer let himself hold his command knife dryly for more than ten minutes. But he asked himself the reason before he could tell you the reason. Damn it, you're such a shithead. How could there be such a fool and brain-dead as you among the emperor's officials? Master Kiyosaki was so thoughtful, he slashed at this bastard who wasted his expression!

"What should we do? The troop transport fleet of the Independent Division is just four kilometers away from the range of the shore artillery. To fight or not to fight?" Colonel Kiyosaki was in a dilemma. The prey was right by his mouth, and he could already smell the fragrance, but Just a little short of the last, the maximum effective range of the shore artillery is [-] kilometers. Beyond this distance, the impact point and accuracy cannot be guaranteed, and there is no guarantee that the shell can hit the current position!

Colonel Kiyosaki was so anxious that he stopped abruptly, with a fierce look in his eyes, and ordered viciously: "Order, each artillery position, replace the ammunition packs that are currently loaded, and fire with the maximum amount of charge! The range must reach 25 Kilometers or more, the first round of bombardment corrects the impact point, and then, each gun position fires five rounds in rapid succession!" 25 kilometers is already a [-]-caliber coastal defense gun, and the maximum range is, of course, theoretical.

Colonel Kiyosaki is going all out, he wants to shell with the largest amount of charge, this is the convenience of the large-caliber coastal defense gun, because the artillery has a larger caliber, in order to prevent the shell from being too heavy and inconvenient to load and transport, the shell is put into the The barrel must be filled with propellant before it can be bombarded. According to the different distances of the target of the bombardment, different charges can be selected to achieve the adjustment of the range.

Colonel Kiyosaki ordered the use of the largest amount of charge. Although it can achieve the purpose of increasing the range of the coastal defense gun, the damage to the artillery is also huge. For example, the average life of the artillery can fire [-] rounds for shelling within the normal range. Shells, then, after firing with the maximum amount of charge, the life of the artillery may only be able to fire [-] rounds of shells, and it has to be scrapped. Therefore, Colonel Kiyosaki's order is at the cost of reducing the life of the artillery!

But Colonel Kiyosaki didn't care so much. Seeing the hundreds of troop carriers and warships of the Independent Division stop within a few kilometers of the range of his own coastal defense guns, it was only a little distance away. Chinaman, if you give him a hard lesson, Colonel Kiyosaki himself will be so angry that he vomits blood!

There was a shrill scream in the air, and several shells flew from the direction of Lushunkou, and landed near the troop transport fleet of the Independent Division. There was a loud "Boom!", and a column of water shot up into the sky on the sea!

Tang Qiuquan heard the explosion of shells, smiled and said to the chief of staff, Major General Xin Xiguo: "Chief of staff, order the troop transport fleet and escort fleet to reverse at the fastest speed and retreat ten kilometers. The Japanese shore artillery has gone crazy. Come up from the distance. Look, the maximum amount of charge was used! Well, it just happened to expose the artillery positions of the Japanese army, combined with the information from the intelligence office, it was easier to find, and ordered the aviation bomber group to attack and bomb the Japanese beachhead!"

"Order the carrier-based fighter jets to dispatch to observe the effect of the bombardment, order the carrier-based bombers to take off and bomb the Japanese artillery positions, and order all the escort warships to bombard the Japanese coastal artillery positions with the main guns according to the reports sent back by the fighter jets!"

Tang Qiuquan issued a series of orders. From the bottom of his heart, he did not expect that the commander of the coastal defense artillery of the Japanese army would be so crazy. When his troop transport fleet did not enter the range of the artillery fire, he relied on increasing the charge. , to attack myself with artillery fire, but this is also good, I am worried that it is difficult to determine the specific location of the Japanese coastal defense artillery positions. Since the Japanese army is crazy, it will be sent to the door to fight!

Tang Qiuquan knew better in his heart that at this time, the Japanese coastal defense artillery had a range, but the accuracy of the bombardment would be greatly reduced. It was not a big threat to the troop fleet scattered on the sea with a radius of tens of kilometers. To be on the safe side, he ordered the fleet to retreat to within the effective range of his warship's naval guns, and out of the effective range of the Japanese shore artillery!

As the first cannon shot out of the chamber, a huge explosion echoed in the air, and Colonel Kiyosaki's heart suddenly opened up, just like a breath of turbid air that had been stuck in his chest for a long time was suddenly released. What a joy!

Master Kiyosaki held up his binoculars, looked at the rising water column on the surface of the sea, and yelled, "Yo Xi! That's great, let's fight like this, and send all these nasty Chinese people to the bottom of the sea!"

But the spoilers are everywhere. The combat staff officer responsible for reporting the distance of the troopship troop of the Independent Division, although he got a big mouth from the regiment captain, as a member of the imperial army, he should be dedicated to his duty. Under what circumstances , It can't affect my performance of duties, so this conscientious captain's staff, with half of his swollen face, began to report accurately, "The enemy's fleet is six kilometers, seven kilometers, nine kilometers away from the shore artillery. kilometer......"

"Baga! Shut up your stinky mouth!" Kiyosaki was so mad that he yelled at this wooden prong-like combat staff officer. This staff officer was here to make things difficult for him. There is an end, but the troop transport fleet of the Independent Division has an endless retreat distance, "Order all the artillery positions, don't stop, shoot continuously and rapidly!" Colonel Kiyosaki finished yelling at the combat staff, and then to those staff officers standing by the telephone , roared loudly.

The coastal defense guns of the Japanese army fired a series of shells into the sea, and countless water columns shot up into the sky. Looking from the shore, the momentum was very amazing. Unfortunately, there was no dense water coming out after the independent division troop carrier was hit. Smoke and flames, amidst the sound of "rumbling" guns, and the dull roar of engines came from the southern sky!

The overwhelming roaring sound gradually overwhelmed the shelling of shore artillery, attracting countless Japanese military officers. They aimed their binoculars at the southern sky. In Kiyosaki Colonel's binoculars, a dense group of aircraft appeared. At the same time, All the Japanese military officers saw this amazing scene through the telescopic lenses. On the clear sky of June in the Liaodong Peninsula, hundreds of bombers lined up in neat formation gradually expanded and merged in the field of vision from the blue sky in the south. It became clear that on the fuselage, the military emblem of the Air Force of the Independent Division was shining in the sun!

Afterwards, fighter jets and bombers also took off from the independent division fleet on the sea, forming a formation with a different flying altitude than the independent division bomber fleet from the south, but with the same murderous aura.
