Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

After the predecessor was dismissed, the newly appointed Russian military intelligence staff did not dare to slack off a bit, so a piece of information about the retreat of the Chinese troops was placed on Grodek's desk.

Grodjeko thought to himself: "Why did Lin Yuan withdraw his troops?" He had no idea for a moment, stood up, and paced around the room.

The staff officer saw his thoughts and asked, "General, are you wondering why Lin Yuan withdrew his troops?"

Grodjeko nodded, and the staff officer said: "Lin Yuan knew that they were short of troops, so he withdrew. The troops they invested were only more than 1 people, and our troops totaled four. Ten thousand."

Grodjeko shook his head lightly, and said, "You can't evaluate Lin Yuan's troops just by the number of people."

At this moment, the messenger ran in and said: "Report to the general, there is news from the fishing port. All the gunboats in the fleet have returned to the port and are now waiting for orders. More than [-] infantrymen from the fishing port have boarded the ship and are ready to go." into the field."

Grodjeko slapped the table excitedly, and said: "Order the fleet to dispatch immediately, blow up all their boat bridges to the bottom of the river, order the troop carrier to send the troops directly to the west bank, and block their retreat route!"

As soon as the messenger left, Grodjeko said to the staff: "It seems that I thought too much. Lin Yuan must have heard the news of our fleet's return to Hong Kong, and he was worried that his retreat would be outflanked, so he ordered the withdrawal of troops. Yes, but he wants to retreat, but it's not that easy!"

At this moment, the person sent back by Perov also came outside the headquarters. Grodek let him in hastily. As soon as the person came in, the person said: "All the Chinese artillery have been withdrawn, and there is only one door left to go out." There was a malfunctioning gun, and when they were about to blow it up, we rushed up and drove the Chinese away, and now the gun is ours."

Grodeko asked: "Where is this artillery now?"

The soldier replied, "It's too heavy for us to move."

Grodjeko said: "I will send cavalry to help you pull it back." As soon as the soldier left, Grodjeko smiled and said, "Great, this mysterious artillery is the most powerful Chinese artillery. , They didn't even have time to destroy it, it seems that they are really in a hurry to retreat!"

Grodjeko was so excited that his voice changed, and he ordered: "Order the 102nd Division of the First Army to immediately pursue the Chinese troops; the 24th Cavalry Brigade sends out a force to grab that artillery."

The commander of the First Army, Potanin, who was commanding the front line, hastily passed on the order. The 102nd Division had been beaten by the Chinese troops in the previous battles, losing two villages in a row. Hearing the news of the Chinese retreat, he was as excited as a loser. The gambler in bare pants caught a good pair of cards and hurriedly chased after Pavlov village.The Russian army thought that all the Chinese troops in the village had been withdrawn, so they walked towards the village swaggeringly. Unexpectedly, as soon as they reached the entrance of the village, the Chinese got out of the trenches, and the guns spit out flames. The Russian army was caught off guard and was killed. After knocking down dozens of them, they hid more than 400 meters away.

It was already past three o'clock in the morning on October [-]th, the sky was covered by dark clouds, and the visibility was extremely poor. The Russian army could not figure out how many Chinese troops there were outside the village. They even began to suspect that the reason for the Chinese retreat was False, ambush is true.

Just when the Russian army was hesitating and in a dilemma, the blocking force in the trench had quietly retreated, and another blocking force had built fortifications in Volga Village, ready to take over the blocking force.

Although it was already late at night, Lin Yuan was still guarding the headquarters to deal with unexpected situations that may arise at any time. Zhang Xiaoguang suddenly sent a message: "The Russian army's gunboats and troop carriers are starting from the fishing port and heading towards our landing position. "

Lin Yuan was startled when he heard the news, and thought: "The Russians are trying to steal the third division's back route. Once the pontoon bridge built by the troops across the river is destroyed, the third division will be surrounded on the east bank of Heilongjiang. After a long time, they will definitely not be the opponents of the Russian army when they are out of ammunition and food, and they must find a way to stop the Russian gunboats."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Didn't we occupy the Russian artillery? It would be great if we used the opponent's artillery to attack them!" But then he thought: "No, our gunners are not familiar with the Russian artillery. It’s getting dark, and if the Russian army can’t be stopped, the Third Division is in danger of being wiped out.”

Lin Yuan immediately ordered the Songhua River Fleet to go upstream to stop the Russian gunboats.Lin Yuan specifically asked Yu Ming: "Remember, your mission is to stop the Russian fleet, not destroy them."

Yu Ming knew that Lin Yuan had his reasons for giving such an order, so he didn't ask carefully, and then led the six gunboats of the Songhua River Fleet towards the Russian gunboats. The Russian army invested all 45 gunboats and one hundred gunboats this time A troop carrier, with the gunboat in front and the troop carrier behind, formed a mighty fleet.With the help of powerful night vision reconnaissance capabilities, Yu Ming discovered the formation of the Russian fleet in advance. The Russian fleet formed two columns on the river. The ships between the columns were not parallel, but staggered two by two. The rear one is about 300 degrees below the side of the front one, and the straight-line distance is about [-] meters.This formation gave Yu Ming an opportunity to line up the six gunboats in a circular arc. In this way, each Russian gunboat had a huge advantage of six against one; Yu Ming decided Attack at the turn of the river, where the river is wide on both sides and narrow in the middle. If you sink a few gunboats of the Russian army, the ones behind will be blocked and unable to enter.At around four o'clock in the morning, Yu Ming's fleet arrived at the designated water area and immediately declared a blackout. There was no light on all the ships. In the dark night, it was impossible for the Russian gunboats to spot them.

At 04:30 in the morning, the Russian gunboats came from a distance with their headlights on. Yu Ming judged from their lights that the Russian gunboats were still more than 1000 meters away from his formation, so he ordered all ships to prepare for battle.

The ships in the Songhua River Fleet were not equipped with radios, and Yu Ming ordered that no lights be allowed, so the communication between ships became a huge problem. The soldiers on board thought of a good way, because The distance is relatively short, so everyone uses the method of hitting the water surface with wooden sticks to transmit information, and different times represent different orders.

When the Russian gunboat sailed into the distance of 1000 meters, Yu Ming gave the order to fire. The 75mm artillery on Yu Ming's boat fired first, and the first shot directly hit the artillery on the bow of the Russian gunboat. The violent explosion directly lifted the artillery to ten At a height of one meter, other gunboats fired one after another, and the shells hit one after another. However, the shells did not blow to the part below the waterline, so the ship did not sink.

But the main gun of this ship was blown up, so it could only be beaten, and could not fight back, so it increased its horsepower and wanted to rush forward, but a shell exploded at the root of the chimney, directly blowing the chimney, and the chimney was gone. The steam engine's ability to do work was greatly reduced, so the speed slowed down.

It was so slow that more shells fell on it. One shell passed through the deck and exploded in the steam engine room, causing the entire gunboat to lose power and lay across the river. The two gunboats behind saw this The situation, hurriedly accelerated, trying to overtake the injured companion, and counterattacked the Chinese gunboat.

But as soon as the gunboat behind the Russian army emerged, it was hit by a series of shells. This time the gunboat used incendiary bombs, and both Russian gunboats caught fire.
