Chapter 4: The Dead Fish Fleet
"This is the Chinese Defense Force, if the fleet surrenders, we promise that we will not harm all the personnel on the battleship, give you half an hour to consider whether to accept the request. Otherwise, we will torpedo one battleship every ten minutes after half an hour, until we have sunk you all. In addition, if any warship sinks and blocks the port of Qingdao, we will not provide food and medicine to the crew of the ship, and all the crew will be arrested and shot. ”
The reason why the telegraph operator was in a gloomy mood was because he found out that the other party was using the code of the Admiralty of the Great Japanese Empire, and he really dared not imagine what the other party would do if it sent an order to disarm the fleet.
Just as the battleships were attacking Wushan, the Marines launched a full-scale attack on the city of Qingdao.
By about 8 o'clock in the morning, the Japanese coastal batteries on the noon hill had been completely captured. However, due to the bombardment of Japanese naval artillery, the air assault force of one battalion was reduced by two-thirds, and the battalion completely lost its ability to continue operations. The plan to use battery fire to threaten the Japanese fleet in the harbor was abandoned, and the whole battalion withdrew to the artillery fire anti-slope to dig trenches and hold on.
The wounded, using the captured Japanese prisoners as stretchers, were quickly transported to the landing site of the marines, and from there they were transferred to the sea by Jane. Merlin's hospital ship.
Compared to the encounter with the air assault division, the luck of the marines was much better. They were in the late afternoon area with the landing site of the "Swift" and the "Sea [I_Ben_Read]".
The Japanese naval fleet could not see there at all, so although they also received a few shells, on the whole they did not cause them much trouble.
The more Swifts and Swifts come back and forth from the sea, the more Marines come ashore. These agile transports are carrying more and more artillery and armoured vehicles to the shore.
As the number grew, the Marines attacked in three directions. All the way to the direction of Laoshan under the cover of tracked armored vehicles.
Their purpose was to attack everything the Japanese defenders encountered on the road and create better conditions for the landing of hoplite divisions. This was the "B" plan for the hoplite landing, which was used as a backup in case the Japanese Second Fleet could not be subdued when the port could not be attacked.
On the other hand, they began to clear the high ground and firepower points occupied by the Japanese army on the outskirts of the city. On the third route, the troops were directed to the military port near Qingdao, where they were to take part in a great operation and capture the Japanese Second Fleet in its entirety.
As for the battle for the city, it was a common task for the hoplites after they had come ashore.
At 8:30 in the morning, the good news reached Tang Yunyang's Eagle airship, and everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. There are not only Zhu Binhou here, but also Gu Weijun, and Li Shizeng, who also intends to witness this great moment, was left in Batavia by two young people to coordinate logistics work.
As for the two heads who have been expanded from tank brigades to tank divisions, one is Li Jinyu and the other is physically disabled, but the ambitious Xia Fei's former adjutant - Miller, he is now the commander of the army's 2nd tank division. They are also in Batavia and ready to go.
"Little Japan's Second Fleet has surrendered!"
Until here, Tang Yunyang, who had been worried about this fleet, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This attack was the longest, the most learned, and the most critical step in the operation. It took nearly 100 tests to destroy the propulsion system of enemy warships using underwater shaped energy explosion shearing methods and destroying them.
Prior to this, not only did he get a full set of data from Nagao Ariga about the metal composition and dimensions of the large shaft, but he also copied it. The arrangement of the explosives and the amount of charge were also calculated and tested repeatedly.
The end result was that the charge would not damage the hull so easily and would not blow the shaft off. The main thing is that it cracks and twists and breaks due to the force on the propeller.
It wasn't until the surrender of the Japanese Second Fleet, which had become a dead fish fleet, that Tang Yunyang was completely relieved.
"Tell Chen Bin to immediately send the officers and men of the Marine Corps to the ship to be surrendered, pay attention to their sunken ship, and clean up all the crew. Once it is safe to do so, inform the hoplites that they can come ashore. Also, Colonel Luknar should pay attention to the fact that the saber and the Ben Lei must be covered throughout the whole process, and if any ship moves abnormally, I will blow it up. ”
At 9:00 a.m., at the Qingdao Navy Port, a group of "swifts" flew from the sea at high speed to fly and moored the "dead fish fleet". The planes overhead are also becoming more and more dense at this time. In particular, some of the fighters painted red flew over the battleship at low altitude, and the Japanese sailors could even see the blue eyes in the cockpit and then in the cockpit.
This could not help but make the officers and operators who had read the telegram just now puzzled, the telegram said that their opponent was the "Chinese National Defense Force", but how could the pilots be all blue-eyed guys?
Actually, this is not surprising, because when the entire Thunder mercenary withdrew from Europe, almost the entire Lafitte squad joined the ranks of Thunder International. Needless to say, Tang Yunyang's sworn friends, and even a considerable number of volunteers, came to China because they were attracted by planes that were better than those of other armies.
And the guy who just used his dive to express his dissatisfaction, I don't need to introduce it, he is a guy who is not willing to be restrained!
On average, two Swifts per warship came to take care of them, but at first, they struggled to climb the high deck. Now, with these Marines on board, what else could the unarmed Japanese crew think about. If you want to fight the Marines, they will probably die without a place to bury.
The Japanese crew watched in amazement as these extremely fast "swifts" came to their side, and as soon as they came to a stop, someone threw a chicken hook from below and hooked it to the side of the ship. Then, without pulling around, a soft ladder was set up on the side of the ship, and then strangely dressed soldiers climbed up from the side of the ship.
As more Marines boarded the battleship, the entire "Dead Fish Fleet" completely fell into the hands of the Chinese Baath Party.
Now that the enemy fleet had been settled and had been parked outside Qingdao, cargo ships that were out of the range of enemy artillery and passenger cabins that had come to be requisitioned poured into the Qingdao military port, and the 1st Heavy Infantry Division went ashore.
At this time, the entire military port also fell into the hands of the marines who landed from behind Wushan. The first ship to dock was a passenger ship, and aboard was a young officer. Although his current rank is not as big as his previous rank, he knows that the current division of the army, if well supplied, is enough to sweep away most of China.
He is the commander of the 6th Heavy Infantry Division of the Chinese National Defense Army, Colonel Cai Yi. Due to the initial recovery from a serious illness, the young face looks quite thin, but the spirit flashing in his eyes is completely different.
Facing him on the dock, he was greeted by Li Hui, the chief of staff of the Marine Division, with a young face that looked like he was angry.
"Sir, I am here to greet you on the orders of our Colonel Chen, welcome to Qingdao!"
Cai Ye glanced at Li Hui, raised his hand and asked in return.
"Where's your Senior Commander Chen?"
"Report to the sir, he has already led our armored infantry regiment in a roundabout operation!"
Cai Yi nodded again, he understood that these soldiers were meticulous in carrying out their plans, and they were all extremely enterprising guys, and it seemed that he and his men were hurrying.
"Let's watch the first release together, please support genuine reading, and support the author's creation" Don't laugh and give birth to a group: 35761481; Mailbox:.
The offensive against Qingdao was planned in such a way that when the Marines completed their mission, they should divide a rapid force to bypass the city of Qingdao, seize the northern Hewe system, and cut off the spiritual retreat of the Japanese troops in the city. After the hoplites landed, they used their main forces to quickly clear the enemy in Qingdao City and completely occupy Qingdao City.
Subsequently, the hoplites will attack the city of Laizhou, and the marines will be in the two county towns of Hei and Jiaozhou. The air assault division divided into a regiment and directly landed in Cangzhou to protect the Cangzhou base.
During this period, most of the airships will fly back to Batavia, transport the first part of the 1st Tank Division to Qingdao, and the rest of the convoy will return to Batavia for a second transport.
Cai Ye turned his head and glanced at the "Dead Fish Fleet" in the sea, and couldn't help but be right, Tang Yunyang's seemingly whimsical attack method felt funny. According to the words, these ships were directly blown up and sunk, and at this time I am afraid that his hoplites have already taken most of Qingdao City.
As an infantry general, he still lacks the trade-offs in war, especially the choice of strategic height, although on the Western Front in Europe, one or two small operations with hoplites have also made him experience a new concept of warfare, but in order to completely become an officer on the side of the side, it still needs some more war running-in.
Now, he is a first-class member of the China Renaissance Party and a division commander of the Chinese National Defense Force. As more and more of his troops came ashore, he began to plan an attack on the city of Qingdao based on the report of the eagle eye overhead.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Qingdao City is a triangle, and the port is a sharp corner, so we will start from this sharp corner, and a hoplite regiment and a tank regiment will form an assault group, and from here we will attack and advance until we meet with the marines in the northeast, and the remaining two hoplite regiments will sweep the enemy troops on both sides of the assault group house by house, and crush their strongholds, and press them to the open area outside the city, and then call for artillery fire and planes to sweep away."
At this time, as more hoplites approached, an attack spearhead consisting of a tank battalion and two hoplite battalions began to move.
In the sound of the "squeak" of the tracks, the Japanese army soldiers saw the "gray wolf tank" for the first time.
