(99) Rocket artillery hits warships
In fact, the Japanese warship that was suddenly attacked was not the only battleship "Zhoufang", and the battleship "Iwami" was also attacked in almost the same way, and was instantly shrouded in flames and smoke. &&&Latest Chapter Baidu Search:&&
Chugoiri again began firing at the Japanese fleet from the shore, and Mitsuyoshi Tsuchiya noticed that the strange weapons that Chugoiri had fired from the woods on the shore looked like rockets. After these rockets hit the Japanese warship, they will explode violently, producing huge flames, causing great damage to the ship's surface personnel, but it seems that the damage to the warship itself is not great.
Soon, the main guns of the "Iwami" began to fire fiercely at a forest on the shore, and one after another heavy shells fell in the woods, bursting into flames, and many trees in the woods were blown to pieces, and the branches and wood chips with fire scattered in all directions, as if it had rained fire, and the grove soon became a sea of fire.
Despite this, the Chinese rockets continued to be fired at the Japanese fleet from all directions, and the larger Japanese battleships were still the first targets, and some smaller ships were also hit, although these rockets did not cause much damage to the ships themselves, but they caused great casualties to the ship's crew.
And to Tsuchiya's surprise, the launch position of these rockets could not be determined at all, and it seemed that rockets would be fired from every corner of the shore, and after feeling the threat of this new weapon, Tsuchiya Mitsuyoshi also had a new understanding of the strength of the Chinese army, and he prevented Kamio Mitsutomi from preparing to order the army to re-land and recapture the Irtis Mountain Battery, and instead ordered the fleet to retreat to the open sea.
When Yang Shuoming entered Qingdao City, it was already close to evening.
After getting the news of the liberation of Qingdao, all the people were excited, but Yang Shuoming was not as happy as everyone imagined, and the first place he went to after entering the city was the Bismarck Hill Fort.
When Yang Shuoming, Fu Xiao'an, and Zhang Xiaozhun came to Bismarck's Hill Fort, Fu Xiao'an and Zhang Xiaozhun couldn't help but be surprised when they looked at the pile of mutilated corpses of Japanese soldiers. **Fastest Update**
"How did it happen like this?" Zhang Xiaozhun asked in surprise.
"It was shot with a shotgun." Yang Shuoming swept the corpse of the Japanese soldier with his "super computer eye", smiled slightly, and said.
"Shotguns?" Zhang Xiaozhun's gaze fell on a special forces member who was dressed in ordinary people's clothes but carried a short, thick spear on his shoulder.
"Yes, the kind he carried." Yang Shuoming nodded, "Within a combat distance of about twenty meters, if you are hit by a steel ball from a shotgun, you will basically be torn apart. ”
"Don't tell me you designed this gun." Fu Xiaoan looked at Yang Shuoming and said.
"Of course I designed it." Yang Shuoming smiled, and his eyes fell on the members of the Fu Family People's League who came from their hometown in Huaixi to help the war who were talking cordially with the regular army and the Shandong People's League.
After learning that the family branch of Jiangxi raised the strength of the whole clan to go north to Shandong to resist the Japanese, the Huaixi family, where the Fu clan lived the most, also organized a militia to follow Yang Shuoming's Jiangxi army to participate in the war.
Despite the many casualties, the high will of these improvised militias to fight was not affected in the slightest. Let Yang Shuoming fully understand the meaning of "popular support".
When China's patriotism, self-confidence, and courage are truly aroused, the power that bursts out is absolutely not to be underestimated.
"What else is there about you Yang Hanzhi that hasn't been revealed yet?" Zhang Xiaozhun looked at the pit bullet marks on the battery of a German cannon that were hit by the steel balls of a shotgun, and asked again. ##看小说必去##
"Of course, there are good things for Japan." Yang Shuoming came to the side of the cannon, touched the cannon body, and somehow a cold smile appeared on his face, "It's just that these things are a little lacking in morality, and I haven't thought about whether to use them yet." ”
"After defeating Qingdao, we must still be able to defend it," Fu Xiaoan did not notice what Yang Shuoming meant by the latter sentence, but turned his attention to the basically well-preserved German artillery on the fort, "Only by holding Qingdao can Japan retreat from the difficulties and return to the negotiating table." ”,
"We're playing well here, but the situation in Mukden isn't good." Zhang Xiaozhun said, "The Japanese army is said to have advanced to Chengde, and Cai Songpo and Zhang Jingyu are afraid that they will not be able to withstand it." ”
"Looking at this posture, Japan really wants to take Beijing." Fu Xiaoan said with some concern.
"For Japan, the most convenient way to attack Beijing is to land in Tianjin." Zhang Xiaozhun said, "Although they suffered a big loss in Caofeidian last time, our naval strength is still too far behind them, and the fort at Dagukou was also destroyed by them, so it stands to reason that they can't stop them from landing." ”
"The reason why they didn't choose Tianjin was because Tianjin was the sphere of influence of Western countries, and Japan was afraid of causing interference from foreign powers." Fu Xiaoan said, with an unconcealable bitterness in his words, "You know what? I heard that the U.S. Navy also sent warships to Caofeidian to inspect the achievements of our Chinese Navy. ”
"They don't really believe that our Chinese Navy can sink Japanese battleships." Yang Shuoming sneered.
"It's also good to let them see." Zhang Xiaozhun said, "In the jungle era, the strong are respected, and the United States will consider helping us when they see that we have beaten Japan so badly." ”
"It's time to end this war." Yang Shuoming said softly thoughtfully. Although he didn't speak loudly, it still made Fu Xiaoan and Zhang Xiaozhun hear it clearly.
"Do you have a way to drive the Japanese out of Mukden?" Zhang Xiaozhun asked with some hesitation.
After listening to Zhang Xiaozhun's question, Yang Shuoming's eyes flashed a hesitant look for the first time, he thought about it, nodded anyway, and gave an affirmative expression.
Tianjin, Caofeidian, Cao Fei Niangniang Temple.
"I heard that this is a beautiful and kind goddess who often protects the people who pass through this area." An American officer said to Rear Admiral Glennon, who had come to Caofeidian on the cruiser "Brooklyn" for an "investigation," "The local capital said that it was Japan's misdeeds that provoked her to sink the Japanese warship here." ”
"Oh? What did Nippon Ito do to make her angry? Major General Glennon asked with interest.
"The Japanese have raped women taken from the area here, killed them in the temple and tried to rescue them." Pointing to bullet marks on the wall and blood stains that had not been completely eliminated, the American officer said, "They use this method to intimidate the intruders and prevent them from resisting." ”
"Damn Japan in! They are simply a bunch of beasts! Major General Glennon cursed angrily, his eyes swept around the hall to see several thin black men in strange robes wiping the tables and chairs, and from time to time they cast wary glances at the Americans. Perhaps sensing what the United States was talking about, the veterans remembered the atrocities committed by Japan, and their eyes flashed with great resentment.
"Aren't you going to give this goddess some gifts according to the custom of China? Checkmate? The American officer, sensing the anger of China's ingress, suggested to Major General Glennon.
Major General Glennon readily agreed, he nodded, turned to the front of the old recruits, took out a few silver dollars, and put them on the table, he noticed the somewhat surprised eyes of the old recruits, did not speak, but showed a friendly smile, and then left silently.
Leaving the temple, Rear Admiral Glennon walked along the beach, where he once again saw the wreckage of the Japanese battleship in the distance, his eyes still shining with doubt.
"China is a brave and incredible nation." Major General Glennon said with emotion, "They knew that this was a doomed war, but they still persisted in fighting the enemy and won such a victory. I dare say that it is not easy for even a powerful US Navy to deal such a blow to the enemy. ”
"That's not bad at all." The American officer standing beside him said, "Although China often gives a cowardly and cowardly impression, the most extraordinary and admirable thing about China is that they can face it calmly like a philosopher when their lives and property are in danger, and they can watch the enemy invade and take away their food, clothing and everything, watch their homes burned, and their wives and children being raped and killed, but they can still look at the enemy with a smile, even if the price paid will be greater. But in their hearts, the next round of resistance against the enemy must be brewing. ”
"This is the spiritual existence of a nation that will not perish." Major General Glennon nodded.
"I have always believed that the various decisions taken by the US Government in dealing with this war of aggression launched by Japan against China are all wrong." "We should not watch Japan annex China," the American officer said. This is not in the interests of the United States. ”
"Then do you mean that the United States wants the United States to go to war with Japan for China?" Major General Glennon asked, turning his head.
"We don't necessarily have to go to war with Japan, but we can take the approach of covertly supporting China to prevent Japan from monopolizing China." The American officer replied.
