Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Mizuta Mingyuan heard Nogi Xidian's words and immediately asked: "General Nogi, the landing of Lin Yuan's troops from Chongjin will have a very adverse impact on our battle situation. How can you say that they are looking for death?"

Nogi Xidian said with a smile: "Lin Yuan's troops landed from the sea, and the troops went deep alone. Logistics supplies and reinforcements are all difficult problems. In this way, aren't they looking for death?"

Mizuta Mingyuan asked: "Then how should we fight?"

Nogi Xidian said: "First of all, you must take care of the beachhead near Chongjin, and never allow Lin Yuan's large troops to land here, and then I will mobilize the defenders in the direction of Jizhou to come to support you, and take Lin Yuan's troops in one fell swoop. Annihilation!"

Mizuta Mingyuan said: "But Lin Yuan's troops are already moving towards my beachhead. Their purpose is very clear. They want to take down our beachhead in one fell swoop! Our fortifications are all facing the sea, and it is difficult to deal with them from behind. Attack launched!"

When Nogi Xidian heard this, he was furious, and said, "Do you want me to teach you how to fight defensively?"

Mizuta Mingyuan said hastily: "Yes, I will discuss these matters with the head of the Aso division."

Only then did Nogi Xidian hang up the phone. It was eleven o'clock in the evening on February [-]th. Lin Yuan's second regiment had already landed and headed for the Japanese Army No. [-] Landing Site. Kilometers, so the armored troops quickly arrived at the Japanese landing field.

The one closest to the rocky beach is the Japanese army’s material and ammunition storage warehouses. These warehouses are permanent military warehouses with thick reinforced concrete walls outside. There are six buildings in total, about 400 meters away from each other, lined up.

The commander of the second regiment, Shangcheng, saw these warehouses and thought: "These warehouses are important firepower points. If we want to go around and attack the Japanese beachhead, we will be attacked by the enemy. Six warehouses. However, these six warehouses are close to the road built by the Japanese army, and the Japanese tank troops stationed in Chongjin City are likely to come to reinforce them! Not only the tank troops, but also the Eighth Division in Chongjin City. "

Shangcheng then ordered the tank battalion commander Li Yunda to lead a tank company and an infantry company to set up an ambush on the road to block the Japanese reinforcements. Li Yunda set off immediately and chose a high slope overlooking the road two kilometers north of the No. [-] landing site as a blocking position. Waiting for reinforcements from the Japanese army.

The mall then ordered the rest of the troops to attack the No. [-] warehouse on the outermost side of the Japanese army, so that they would not be attacked by other warehouse defenders.

The second regiment learned the lesson of the first regiment being suppressed by the Japanese artillery. When it landed, it brought three 122mm self-propelled howitzers. At this time, it came in handy to hit the warehouse. The shells roared and smashed into the wall of the warehouse. Suddenly, the wall was blown open several big holes.

According to the information obtained in advance, there is only one small team in the Japanese warehouse, a garrison team of more than 30 people, and the rest are Korean civilians who were captured as coolies, so the mall ordered: infantry immediately attack the warehouse!

The infantry immediately set off with the tank, but as soon as they got close to the warehouse, they heard the sound of "da da da" machine guns on the wall of the warehouse, and the sound of "cracking" automatic rifles. The infantry was caught off guard and was knocked down instantly. A dozen or so, and the rest hid behind the tank.

The tank commander immediately went out from the cabin door and hid in the anti-aircraft machine gun protective cover. This protective cover was proposed by Lin Yuan when he was in Mongolia, and the follow-up model of the tank has been kept. After entering the protective cover, the commander Then he grabbed the heavy machine gun and shot at the Japanese army above the warehouse, and the Japanese army above was suppressed for a while.

Only then did the commander report to the mall: "Regimental Commander, the Japanese army's defenders are very strong, and there is definitely more than one squad."

Mall thought: "Is it because the information is inaccurate? It shouldn't be! That means the Japanese army has increased their troops to the warehouse! Regardless of them, our combat purpose is to capture the Japanese army's beachhead and create conditions for large troops to land. time and energy wasted on these small warehouses."

So the mall asked the staff around him, what is in this warehouse?

The staff officer replied: "According to our information, this warehouse is a quilt warehouse, which is filled with cotton clothes and quilts."

Shangcheng nodded and said, "Okay, let our troops withdraw first, and then let the self-propelled artillery troops shoot incendiary bombs. When there is a fire inside, we will attack the next warehouse!"

The staff then went to convey the order, and the self-propelled artillery immediately shot incendiary bombs. The so-called incendiary bombs are substances that generate high heat when burned, such as thermite, in the shells. After the explosion, the surrounding objects are ignited with heat, and the shells It fell into the Japanese army warehouse and exploded, and the high temperature instantly ignited the cotton-padded quilts inside, and the flames burst into the sky for a while.

The mall saw the Japanese warehouse on fire, and thought: "The Japanese army inside must not be able to come out and attack us, so we should attack the next warehouse!" So the mall ordered: "Attack to the No. [-] warehouse!"

At this moment, the frontline troops sent a message: "Many North Koreans ran out of the warehouse and came to our troops."

The mall immediately asked, "What are they coming to us for?"

The frontline commander said: "They came to us for protection."

With a thought in his heart, Shangcheng thought: "This is a good opportunity to learn about the situation of the Japanese defenders!" So Shangcheng said, "Send the leaders inside to me."

The frontline commander agreed, and soon a middle-aged man in North Korean clothes came to the mall, and the mall hurriedly asked, "How many Japanese defenders are there in the warehouse?"

The middle-aged man said: "Originally there was only one team, but just tonight, a large number of Japanese soldiers broke in suddenly, and joined forces with the soldiers of the original team to defend together."

After hearing this, the mall thought, "I understand. It turns out that these Japanese soldiers were scattered by our air force tonight. They may have hid in the warehouse for the sake of committing crimes and meritorious service. Let's not fight them hard. Just shoot incendiary bombs into the warehouse, and the people in the warehouse will be too busy to take care of themselves and will not care about us at all."

So the mall asked the staff: "What's in the No. [-] warehouse?"

The staff officer said: "It's all medicine and food."

The mall smiled and said: "Food? This is also something that is easy to burn. Order our artillery to fire incendiary bombs." The artillery was firing the shells in. At this moment, only dense gunshots were heard from the direction of the road. The staff officer came over to report: "Regimental Commander, Li Yunda reported: We are fighting with Japanese reinforcements, and the battle situation is not optimistic!"

The mall said: "Not optimistic? What do you mean?"

The staff officer said: "According to the reaction of our troops, the Japanese tanks used new shells, and the armor on our tanks can no longer protect the tanks as before."

Shangcheng frowned and said, "New shells? Is it the one that the first group met?"

The staff officer shook his head and said, "It's not clear yet!"
