Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

Shelling Lushunkou

A week before the attack on the Lushun Military Port, the 27th Division of Zhou Xingguo's Division stationed on the front line of Linyi began to secretly assemble to Qingdao with the battalion as a unit.

A week has passed, and more than [-] people from the whole division have assembled in the secret military camp outside Qingdao according to the order.However, until this moment, Zhou Xingguo, as the commander of the division, is still not clear about the specific military mission of his troops during this secret assembly.

In a tent next to the headquarters of the most central division in the barracks, the crisp sound of the telegraph sending and receiving telegrams had just ended when a major officer flashed out of the tent-wrapped telecommunications room.Then, without stopping at all, he went directly to the division headquarters which was close at hand.In the blink of an eye, the voice of the major officer came from the headquarters.

"Reporter, the secret message just sent by the headquarters, I have just translated it myself, please review it...>

"Damn it, after holding it back for so long, the task assigned to us by the headquarters finally came... >

In less than a minute, an even more excited order came directly from the headquarters: "Adjutant, immediately notify all officers above the regiment level in the whole division, and immediately go to the division headquarters for a meeting...>

"Yes, Master...>

Zhou Xingguo's Department under the Ninth Army.It's time to start to assemble secretly and make final preparations for the next expedition to Liaodong.Qingdao Military Port, which is less than five kilometers away from the military camp, was immediately put under martial law by the garrison.

The captain of the submarine brigade under the naval column, the squadron leaders of each squadron...the destroyer brigade captain, the three destroyer captains...the remaining three squadron leaders of the speedboat brigade.More than a dozen naval officers gathered in the conference room of the headquarters, waiting for the naval commander Sun Haijun to issue specific combat orders.

The naval force under the Ninth Army is completely a new force that started from scratch and started from scratch.The whole troop is top to bottom.Nothing like the lifelessness and bureaucracy of China's other naval forces.Facing Commander Sun Haijun sitting on the main seat, every young officer's face showed a fiery expression from the bottom of his heart.

Sun Haijun, the commander of the navy, quickly scanned all the subordinates in a circle.With a serious face, he said: "Brothers, it has been half a year since our naval column was established. In the past six months, I can say with certainty: no matter in terms of training intensity. It is still consumed in training, and even in daily life, including the equipment and military pay in everyone's hands... >

"The Commander-in-Chief built our force, gave us sailors a new lease on life, and invested so much in us. Tell me how we should repay the Commander-in-Chief...>

"Swear allegiance to the Commander-in-Chief...>

"Very good, I am very satisfied with everyone's answers. Because. From everyone's eyes, I have seen sincerity. In this case, the next step is for us to repay the commander-in-chief, to the commander-in-chief, and to the entire country. When answering the questionnaire. Before deploying specific combat missions to everyone, I will first report to you the first battle results since the formation of our naval fleet...>

"Everyone knows, one day ago. The three squadrons of the speedboat brigade were ordered to go out. As for the specific target of the expedition, everyone is still in the dark. Now, I can tell you very clearly that the target of the speedboat brigade this time is not someone else. It is the Japanese navy that has a blood feud with my Chinese navy...>

"At four o'clock in the morning, the three squadrons under the speedboat brigade secretly rushed to the outskirts of the Lushun military port controlled by Japan. At four thirty in the morning, the first torpedo boat squadron under the speedboat brigade launched a close-range sneak attack with lightning speed. , Successfully wiped out all the ships of the Japanese Navy docked in Lushun Naval Port, including a light cruiser, three destroyers, and 13 gunboats."

"At five o'clock in the morning, the group army carried by the speedboat brigade directly under the special warfare brigade, under the cover of the speedboat guns, successfully occupied Lushun Naval Port, which had been controlled by the Japanese for decades, and wiped out more than [-] Japanese navy and army personnel in the military port. .In other words, Lushun Military Port, which has been occupied by the Japanese "government" elite for decades, has returned to the hands of the Chinese people because of our sneak attack...>

Sun Haijun's voice fell, and the small meeting room suddenly became completely silent.Everyone, with their mouths open, gasped, stunned.

As a Chinese naval officer, he is undoubtedly the most familiar with the modern development history of the Chinese navy.However, the more familiar with the development history of the Chinese navy, the greater the hatred these naval officers and soldiers have for Japan.Because, whether it was the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War or the subsequent series of battles against Japan, the Japanese navy has repeatedly caused historical shame to the Chinese navy that cannot be washed away and erased.

Shame on shame, of course.These young naval officers did not lose their minds.

While constantly developing and strengthening themselves, they have not forgotten to keep abreast of the size and development direction of the Japanese Navy.

In the eyes of these naval officers, with their current development speed and scale, it will not take ten years or even longer to catch up.The Chinese navy simply does not have the capability to fight the Japanese navy.With the strength of the naval column under the Ninth Army, in front of the powerful Japanese navy, it is tantamount to hitting an egg with a stone.

However, it was this kind of 'egg hitting a rock' that happened, and it happened to me... >

Astonishment and bewilderment were the first reactions of these naval officers after listening to Sun Haijun's introduction.Of course, this kind of reaction only lasted for a few seconds, and the faces of a dozen officers were shrouded in surprise expressions.

His naval fleet only relies on three speedboat squadrons.It can be called a miracle in the Sino-Japanese naval battle to wipe out a Japanese squadron without a single casualty.Although this naval battle is just a sneak attack that cannot be put on the table, such a huge result will undoubtedly greatly improve everyone's morale.

One minute, exactly one minute later, Lieutenant Colonel He Zhongyi, captain of Sun Haijun's destroyer brigade, broke the tranquility of the conference room.With an incredible tone.He asked, "Commander, what you said is true...>

"Of course, you think I'll lie to you about this kind of thing...>

"No, Commander, I'm not skeptical, just shocked...>

Sun Haijun shook his head.He said very rationally: "Brothers, things are not as simple as we imagined. There are many prerequisites for the success of a torpedo boat squadron. If a real naval battle is fought on the sea, I will It is certain that with our current strength, it will be very difficult to fight against the two squadrons of the Japanese Navy...>

"Okay, brothers. I have shared the joy of victory with everyone. Next, it's everyone's turn to play."

The victory of the torpedo boat squadron of the speedboat brigade was like a dose of stimulant, which directly aroused the fighting spirit hidden in the hearts of these naval officers.As soon as Sun Haijun finished speaking, a pair of hot eyes quickly gathered on Sun Haijun.

Sun Haijun did not keep everyone waiting too long.Taking out a combat order prepared in advance, he said, "Very good, now I order: the destroyer brigade to escort four transport ships. First, all the officers, soldiers and equipment of the 27th Division under the group army will be transported by sea from the Lushun military port."

"The 27th Division will arrive at the port at ten o'clock in the evening, leaving five hours for boarding, that is, at one o'clock in the morning at night, departing from Qingdao Military Port on time...>

"Please rest assured, Commander, the destroyer brigade is swearing to defend the mouth of the Bohai Sea...>

"Very well, now it's the turn of Captain Qi Yongqi's submarine brigade... >

I just heard the order of the destroyer brigade to cooperate with its own submarine brigade to annihilate all Japanese naval fleets that dared to invade the mouth of the Bohai Sea.Qi Yong, who is in charge of the submarine brigade, has never tested the tactical power of the "wolf pack" submarine in actual combat.A pair of eyes had already revealed a fiery gaze.

As soon as Commander Sun Haijun's voice fell, he asked for the battle impatiently: "Please Commander, please issue the mission. On behalf of all the officers and soldiers of the submarine brigade, I guarantee here that the mission will be successfully completed and will not disappoint the trust of the Commander and Commander-in-Chief...>

"The submarine brigade listened to the order: From now on, I will give you five hours to prepare, refuel and torpedo. After five hours, the submarine brigade will attack immediately and secretly lurk at the mouth of the Bohai Sea. Once the Japanese navy fleet is found, no matter it is A warship, a transport ship, or a civilian ship. As long as it bears the logo of the Japanese "government", sink it at all costs. In addition, during the battle, you must never expose your traces, and you must not let a Japanese, from this Survive a naval battle...>

"The remaining three squadrons of the speedboat brigade are responsible for patrolling along the coast of Shandong...>

"As for me, Sun Haijun, I will sit at the Qingdao Navy Command and make adjustments in the middle. At the same time, I am waiting for your good news... >

Time flies, after dozens of hours of sea voyage. All officers and soldiers of the 27th Division, including all heavy equipment.Without exception, all landed in the Lushun military port that had been bombed into ruins.

He raised his binoculars and looked at Lushunkou, which was deserted a few kilometers away and already under martial law.A sharp murderous look flashed across Master Zhou Xingguo's face, and he ordered to the adjutant behind him.

"Little devil, I, Zhou Xingguo, are here...>

"Yes, Master...>

Although Sun Lianzhong, Zhang Zizhong, and Gao Shuxun have become members of the Ninth Army.However, in order for them to truly have a sense of belonging to the Ninth Army.Knowing the attitude of the Ninth Army towards the Japanese is also to let them understand the strength of the Ninth Army more truly.Also in the ranks of this dispatch.However, because they are newcomers, the three of them do not have the slightest right to lead the army.Just as a consultant, he was assigned to Zhou Xingguo's division headquarters. [

With just a glance, you can see the terrain, and even the sand table where the enemy and our troops are deployed.After showing it in front of the three for the first time, the three experienced veterans immediately understood the military significance of the sand table.Looking at the sand table with a bright face, analyzing the enemy's situation.When discussing something in a low voice.Teacher Zhou Xingguo finally spoke... >

"Are all the information on the sand table true?"

"Mr. Zhou, it's completely true...>

"Street fight with us...>

For a moment, including Sun Lianzhong and others, all eyes were on Zhou Xingguo.

At this moment, Zhou Xingguo has nothing to hide.Directly state your specific style of play for this battle.

"Before I came to Lushunkou, I received a confidential message from the commander-in-chief. The key to annihilating the Japanese army at Lushunkou was not the infantry, but the artillery and armored forces. The whole Lushun was razed to the ground with powerful artillery fire, and then the armored assault battalion was used as a Leading the way, swept across the entire Lushun City, wiped out the remnants of the Japanese army, and finally captured Lushunkou...>

"Razed Lushunkou to the ground with artillery fire...>

"Mr. Sun, don't worry. In order to deal with the thousands of Japanese troops in Lushunkou, my 27th Division not only brought its own field artillery regiment, but also brought a large-caliber howitzer regiment under the artillery column. Of course, in addition to these our own In addition to the heavy weapons carried. Moored at Lushun Naval Port, the three destroyers, more than 30 gunboats and a large number of naval guns on torpedo boats can also shoot shells into the Japanese positions at Lushunkou. "

"As for the shells, you don't have to worry...>

A howitzer regiment, a field artillery regiment, three mountain artillery battalions... Several large artillery groups composed of more than one hundred artillery pieces of various calibers.Just from the gun barrels that stand tall and emit a faint blue light under the sun, it gives people a cold feeling.

Looking at the densely packed artillery positions deployed one kilometer away.Sun Lianzhong and the others were shocked by the scene before them for the first time.Because, the artillery group in front of them can definitely be called the first time they have seen and experienced since they joined the army.

"This is the artillery possessed by a main division of the Ninth Army...>

"Yeah, so much heavy equipment is actually owned by a main division...>

And just when the three of them were pointing at the artillery position in front of them, and expressing emotion from time to time.The sudden whizzing sound of sharp shells directly interrupted the conversation of the three people.

There was a sharp whistling through the air, and a large-caliber howitzer shell flew out quickly, smashing hard at Lushunkou several kilometers away.

The three people who were awakened by the shells quickly raised their binoculars, wanting to experience for themselves the amazing power that such artillery groups can erupt.
