blood feud

722 , Sinking the Destroyer

Ding Dakui was the first batch of artillery commanders trained by Bai Shujie after the formation of the First Heavy Artillery Regiment. Later, he fought against the little devils at the frontier of Fuxin, and personally commanded the artillery battalion, destroying a field artillery brigade of the little devils.After being promoted due to meritorious service, he was transferred to Wei Chong to form an artillery regiment.

"Master, all nine guns have been deployed. The anchorage of the little devil's troop carrier is 7 kilometers away from us, and Tanggu Wharf is 6 kilometers away from us. The frigate is the destroyer Muyue, and it is now 9 kilometers away from us."

Ding Dakui came to Wei Chong's side and said: "This fucking little devil is too crazy, he doesn't pay attention to the Tianjin defenders at all. The warship is so close to the coastline, isn't it courting death? Commander, when are we going to launch an attack?" ?”

Wei Chong did not put down his binoculars. For attacking enemy ships, this is a new topic.The most successful of the Jehol Front Army was when the [-]st Heavy Artillery Regiment ambushed a squadron of the Little Devils and sank an escort boat.

Of course, Wei Chong wasn't thinking about this issue, because now the enemy's warships had already parked at the anchorage, and they were all live targets.He just couldn't make up his mind now, whether to bomb the troop carrier or directly attack the destroyer Mutsuki.

Regarding Wei Chong's doubts, as the artillery regiment commander, Ding Dakui immediately expressed his opinion: "Master, even if you want to attack the troop carrier, you must kill the destroyer Muyue! This guy has 4 ship-based heavy oil specialists." Burning boilers, 38500 horsepower, and a speed of 37.3 knots, it runs really fast."

“全长102.7米、宽9.2米、吃水3米,满载排水量1445吨。对我们最大的威胁,就是这家伙有4座120毫米45倍口径的大炮,射程超过25公里。”

Wei Chong nodded and said: "Look at the pier in the direction of Tanggu, the little devil is disembarking now. According to the results of the daytime reconnaissance, this is the second mixed brigade of the little devil. According to the telegram analysis of the boss of Chengde, this mixed brigade It was drawn temporarily from Manchuria in order to stabilize the newly acquired Tianjin."

"They only have two understaffed infantry regiments, a cavalry squadron, a field artillery brigade and an engineer squadron. Ding Dakui, if we kill this mixed brigade, do you think the little devils will still send troops over here? ?”

Only then did Ding Dakui understand what Wei Chong was thinking, so he went on to say: "Of course! Because someone from the Kuomintang, Jiang, has stated that he will fight the war with all his strength. If the little devil does not stabilize Beiping and Tianjin as soon as possible, the future battles will definitely be difficult. trouble!"

"Hahaha, you are wrong!" Wei Chong said coldly: "I didn't think that much! The reason why I want to kill this mixed brigade is because my second senior sister's ranger will take action in Beiping and Tianjin at the same time tonight. Let the little devils not be able to settle down to deal with the 29th Army."

"Second Senior Sister, they will destroy all the facilities and personnel rented by the little devil in Tianjin this time, and create disturbances for the little devil! If these bastards enter Tianjin, my second senior sister will be in trouble. As for someone Jiang ordering the troops to go north, this matter Things don't belong to me, that's the boss's business."

Ding Dakui nodded: "Okay, I will order two turrets to attack the destroyer Mutsuki, and the other turret to attack the troop carrier Sakuramaru."

Wei Chong nodded: "You first order the brothers to mark the bombing target, and when to start the action, listen to my order"!

It turned out that Wei Chong was waiting for a telegram, that is, the reconnaissance battalion sent out to kill the two companies of the Tanggu garrison squadron. After the siege was completed, a telegram would be sent, and then Wei Chong ordered to fire.

The chaos was stopped by the sudden bombing of Tanggu Wharf, and the third and fourth companies of the reconnaissance battalion immediately launched a surprise attack.In the explosion of heavy artillery, the sound of light machine gun fire from the reconnaissance company can be ignored.

Only in this way can the deputy division commander Wang Sanju and the others rush to transport supplies at the same time.When the little devil figured out what happened tomorrow morning, Wei Chong and the others didn't know where they went.

Therefore, the strike time of the heavy artillery must be just right, so that three birds with one stone can be achieved.

The battle plan that Bai Shujie designated at the beginning was hierarchical:

The primary target is the equipment, finished products and raw materials inside the Dagu Shipyard, Tangda Gun Bureau, and the Pegasus freighter, including of course the navigation communication equipment inside the Pegasus freighter.Those who can be moved should be moved away as much as possible, because after the start of the all-out war of resistance, it will enter a difficult period.

The secondary goal is to destroy the little devil's troop carrier and cause some trouble for the little devil to reinforce North China.Yes, it can only be a certain degree of trouble, and it is impossible to end the War of Resistance Against Japan here!

In order to realize this tactical guiding ideology, Yang Erya's "Underground Rangers" will cooperate to create chaos in Beiping and Tianjin, so that the little devil can't take care of both inside and outside.

As for the little devil's second mixed brigade, Bai Shujie didn't value it very much, because the time was too short, so its establishment was not complete at all.The current head of the brigade is Major General Seki Kameji, under the jurisdiction of:

步兵第1联队(欠第3大队),联队长十川次郎大佐步兵第3联队(欠第2大队),联队长汤浅正雄大佐骑兵第1联队第2中队、野炮兵第1联队第4大队、工兵第1联队第1中队。

Bai Shujie ordered Wei Chong to attack the troop carrier in order to sink a field artillery brigade of this brigade into the bottom of the sea.For the little devil, the most precious thing is the plane, the second is the warship, and the third is the heavy artillery and tanks.

Bai Shujie has always been more interested in fighting the little devil's most distressed thing.If you can make the little devil bleed every day, why not do it?

Wei Chong understood Bai Shujie's thoughts, and at the same time knew that today was an extremely dangerous moment, so he remained motionless since he stood there.

Bombarding enemy warships is easy to say.But Bai Shujie specifically emphasized that when the critical moment came, the nine cannons would not be needed, and saving his life was the number one priority!

Therefore, what Wei Chong was worried about was that if the first round of shelling failed to kill the little devil's main gun, once the little devil's warship reacted, it would be terrible!

Because the naval guns of warships are automatically rotated and range-finding, but their own heavy guns are field guns, and they are not flexible in moving or turning.

Just give the little devil warship a 3-minute respite, and they can fire the first shell.If you hit the shooting state, basically you are finished.By then, your own artillery regiment will be doomed!

Just when Wei Chong was hesitating, the radio operator ran over and reported: "Report to the commander: the deputy battalion commander of the reconnaissance battalion called. They have completed the tactical siege of the enemy at two o'clock in the morning, and they can launch an attack on the enemy in front of them at any time!"

Now that the arrow is on the line, there is no use in thinking about anything else, so Wei Chong didn't waste any more time: "Ding Dakui: If the bombing area has been demarcated, then order the gunners to shoot me! Regardless of the number of shells, you think it's almost time to retreat! "

Ding Dakui turned to leave, and Wei Chong's telescope turned to the direction of the destroyer Muyue for the first time.

Although I couldn't see anything clearly at two o'clock in the morning, the lights on the warship still vaguely outlined the appearance of the warship, and I could barely see a general idea through the telescope.

After Tanggu Wharf was attacked, there was no way to fight back. Wei Chong wanted to see if the little devil's warship would fight back.

On the sea 9 kilometers away, once the 120mm naval gun fires, the telescope can still find a muzzle flame at night.There are more than ten seconds, which is enough to withdraw for a certain distance.

Boom!Boom!Boom!Clang-clang-clang-in the middle of the night, the sound of heavy artillery shells being fired, Wei Chong stood more than 300 meters away, still feeling very crisp, just like thunder!

It's a pity that the feeling of the body is just the opposite, not only the eardrums are swollen, but the heart is also contracted suddenly.The sound of the bullet casings falling on the ground was more like a melodious sonata, but it didn't sound very harmonious!

Wei Chong just felt a little more comfortable in his body, when a flash of fire suddenly appeared in the telescope, so he blurted out: "Okay, good fight!"

Although he didn't hear anything, Wei Chong dared to conclude that the first batch of 6 shells rushed over, and at least one shell landed on the warship!If it falls into the water, there will be no explosion fire!The shell fell and exploded in the sea, and the water column soaring into the sky is now impossible to see.

The third time when he saw the flash of flames, Wei Chong jumped up suddenly: "Concentrate firepower and bombard the Tanggu Wharf! The little devil's warship is completely on fire, there is no need to continue wasting shells!"

It's a pity that the gunners didn't listen to him at all for the six heavy guns that were designed to attack the destroyer Mutsuki. Instead, they fired three rounds of shells at the warship!

Artillery under whose command?

The Rehe Front Army has regulations, and the command sequence of the artillery is: the commander of the artillery, the commander of the artillery regiment, the commander of the first battalion of the artillery, and so on.

Although Wei Chong is the commander of the Rao'an Independent Division and belongs to the highest officer of this military group, he can only command the artillery regiment commander, but he is not qualified to command the rest of the artillery regiment!

If there are other people who follow the commander's blind command, it is called a violation of the military order!If there are serious consequences, they will be shot!

"Master, why are you in a hurry? Attacking a warship is completely different from other targets. Because there are damage control personnel on the warship, as long as the warship has not been sunk, it is possible to launch a counterattack."

Ding Dakui, head of the artillery regiment, saw Wei Chong jumping in a hurry, so he came over and said, "If you hit a warship, you must sink it. If there is no sunk warship, it can have the ability to counterattack at any time."

"Now we can't be sure. No one knows whether the enemy's main gun has been killed or not! As for the fire you saw, it doesn't mean anything at all. Of course, if you can see a sudden explosion on the sea, then It means that the ammunition compartment of the enemy warship was killed, and then it can be said that the warship is completely finished."

"Damn it, I haven't fought a warship before, so I don't know there are so many details in it!" Wei Chong smiled sheepishly: "Follow the military regulations, I just keep my mouth shut!"

"No need, you can look at it now." Ding Dakui stretched out his hand and pointed to the east: "The enemy's warship is completely finished now, and it will sink in less than 10 minutes."

"Damn it, is this what you call a skyrocketing explosion?" Wei Chong raised his binoculars to look, and couldn't help but gasp: "It's very clear now that the enemy's warship has been blown in half!"

After all, what happens next, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
