Compared to the capture of Prince Fushimi, a war criminal, an even bigger surprise is yet to come. (Look!) After a joint inspection by the senior management of the Beiping Military Division and Wei Peng and others, it was found that the more than 40 large ships accompanied by Prince Fushimi Palace were all loaded with exquisite porcelain, bright bronze and jade and other cultural relics, the number of which was breathtaking, and the last two large ships were all loaded with boxes of gold, and the dense wooden boxes were difficult to estimate the value.

After receiving the telegram from the Beiping Military Division, Han Yunhua's heart suddenly brightened, no wonder the Japanese army wanted to go crazy, it was impossible for anyone to be indifferent, such a large fortune, a simple windfall from heaven is difficult to describe its huge effect, Han Yunhua instructed Su Yu and others to immediately load all the wooden boxes and transport them to Zhangjiakou, and at the same time escort the old *** of Fushimi Palace to Zhangjiakou together, in addition, special attention should be paid to the Japanese army dog jumping over the wall to assassinate Fushimi Palace, he wants to take Fushimi Palace, the old Wang Ba, to sing a good play.

The Japanese army moved very quickly, and not long after the expatriates withdrew to Tianjin City, the supplies on the ship had just been loaded, and the Japanese warships rushed to the port of Tianjin. There were a total of 3 large cruisers and 2 destroyers in the pursuit of the naval forces of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and the rest were 12 torpedo boats, and their purpose was not to snatch hostages or rescue His Royal Highness, but to completely destroy the evidence, and if possible, to snatch back all the more than 40 large ships. This order was received not long ago, and it was a personal imperial order from His Majesty the Emperor forwarded by the North China Front.

The piercing siren suddenly remembered in the port of Tianjin, and all the ships and warships anchored in the port immediately entered the safe harbor to prevent being bombed by Japanese planes and shelled by warships, and the only two cruisers in the Inner Mongolia Military Region were directly driven into the dock, which were the only two treasures in the Inner Mongolia Military Region, whether it was Han Yunhua or Su Yu, they were more important than anything else, and they would never allow any mistakes.

The sirens sounded, all the coastal defense troops were in full array, the heavy artillery positions that had been prepared for a long time were all pulled off their camouflage, the muzzles of the guns were quickly raised, and the artillerymen were constantly correcting the shelling of Zhuyuan, and the big battle was about to break out.

Commanding the Japanese naval fleet was Rear Admiral Matsuda Okamoto, who was of orthodox naval origin and was well aware of the great prestige of His Royal Highness in the Navy, and the capture of His Royal Highness was no less than a great disaster for the whole of Japan. Looking at the harbor not far ahead, Matsuda Okamoto was full of emotion, the year before last when he was still the navy Commander, he had come to this city with the fleet, this city called Tianjin is the Nagoya city of China, Yokohama, its prosperity is staggering, how proud he was at that time, such a huge historical city prostrate at the feet of the Great Japanese Empire.

But now, after only three years, things are different, and now this majestic city is no longer the territory of the Great Japanese Empire, and it has been occupied by that hateful Shina demon. For that demon of China is not only the army taboo Mo Shen, the naval forces are also reluctant to mention him, in the first battle of Wuhan, that demon only used a few hundred infantry familiar with water to annihilate a complete fleet of the imperial navy, in Jidong and Tianjin that the demon's troops also took a number of submarine lurking attacks on the navy in a row, causing huge losses to the empire, forcing the navy not to dare to anchor in the diving harbor, I have to say that the demon trained troops, Every soldier is worth a submarine, this is a saying that circulates privately in the Imperial Navy.

"Yamamoto, how is it, are you all ready?" Matsuda asked, sorting out his chaotic thoughts.

"Report to Your Excellency Commander, Tsurumai, Nagoya, Mitsui and other ships are all ready to stop, as long as you give an order, the port of Shina in front will be in ruins." The deputy commander of the fleet, Yamamoto Daisa, replied. …,

Matsuda smiled noncommittally and said: "Yamamoto, confidence is good, but you must remember that confidence is not equal to strength, having strength and confidence is shrewd and strong, and having confidence without strength is not self-sufficient." Let me tell you, this port of China is the most important logistics port in North China, the empire has invested a lot of manpower and financial resources for this port in the past few years, and its degree of defense is not much worse than Port Arthur, the first fortress in East Asia, not to mention our small detachment, even if all the ships of the entire Third Fleet are concentrated, it may not be able to achieve a decisive victory, as far as I know, this port alone has more than 60 fortress guns, and more than 30 heavy artillery, The total number of other guns has exceeded 400, and there are no blind spots for shooting. At that time, the defense system of this port was designed solely to deal with a possible naval attack by the United States, and its design standard was to deal with an attack by at least one task force for a month, so Yamamoto, do you think we can take this port with just four non-capital ships and a dozen torpedo boats? ”

Matsuda's sudden question startled Yamamoto, he didn't expect the defensive firepower of Tianjin Port to be so fierce, it was still an ordinary seaport, is this clearly a super fortress.

"Then Your Excellency Commander, what should we do now, if we receive a death order this time, if we don't fire a shot and go back like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to explain." Yamamoto said worriedly.

"Baga, it is a coward's act to retreat, and now that the people of China have sent His Royal Highness the Prince into the city, we must rescue His Highness before they send His Royal Highness away. Yamamoto, you are now preparing to land on the beach with the Nagoya, and I am now covering with other ships, even if we destroy our fleet here, we must complete the mission, you understand? Matsuda said coldly.

"Hay!"

The Japanese army did not hesitate for long before launching an attack on the port of Tianjin, and the huge ship-borne artillery poured ammunition on the coast of Tianjin, and the sound of violent explosions came one after another, and thick smoke of gunpowder rose on the coast of Tianjin. At the same time, under the command of Matsuda, more than a dozen Japanese torpedo boats quickly rushed towards the coast of Tianjin, and the dozen or so huge merchant ships docked on the beach and the two cruisers in the dock were their targets.

Not to be outdone, Su Yu also quickly opened fire on the Japanese warships at the same time as the Japanese opened fire, and hundreds of artillery pieces roared at the same time, launching artillery bombardments at the Japanese warships several miles away. At the same time, dozens of gunboats of the Inner Mongolia Military Region also rushed out of the port to counterattack the torpedo boats, which were also pocket ships.

To be honest, Matsuda did not expect that the squadron would deploy so many guns and ships in the port of Tianjin, especially the gunboats that are small in size and flexible in action. Although the gunboat was almost no threat to large and medium-sized cruisers and destroyers, unlike torpedo boats equipped with torpedo launchers, torpedo boats were a mortal threat to all surface ships, including aircraft carriers, but gunboats were only effective against small merchant ships and small ships such as torpedo boats, and the rest were weak.

Under the interference of the gunboats, the dozen or so torpedo boats of the Japanese had to evade the gunboat shelling after only having time to fire a few torpedoes. For Matsuda, who has rich combat experience, the naval battle of this level in the Inner Mongolia Military Region is really too small, and in the shelling just now, Matsuda confirmed his conjecture, that is, although the squadron controlled the entire Tianjin coast, and also controlled so many artillery, but the gunner who operated the cannon was not a professional shore defense gunner, and its shooting accuracy was extremely poor, and even the worst gunner in the Japanese navy could not compare, which was also the biggest reason why Matsuda dared to attack the port of Tianjin under such a disadvantage. …,

"Order the destroyers to go up and drive away the gunboats, and at the same time order the Tsurumai and Mitsui to immediately attack three nautical miles ahead." Matsuda decisively dripped the order.

"Hay!"

Suburbs of Tianjin. The front-line command post of the Tianjin Garrison Command is located here. Due to the importance of today's battle, several bigwigs of the Beiping Military Division also rushed to Tianjin from Beiping.

"Lao Li, have the convoys been transferred, how are our troops prepared?" Since He Guangyu was transferred to the Jizhong Military Division, Li Dayong has been appointed as a full-time political commissar by the deputy commander, and now Su Yu will discuss with Li Dayong if there is anything.

"It's all transferred, but it didn't go to Zhangjiakou according to the scheduled route, I let them go to Beiping first, because such an important batch of things must be sent to the safest place in the first time, this truth is not only we can think of, but the little devil can also think of it, so I'm afraid that *** will send planes to bomb the convoy on the road, gold is not afraid, but once those cultural relics and paintings are bombed, it will be completely finished, so I temporarily changed my mind to let the convoy go to Beiping first, but then transfer Zhangjiakou by train or plane. As for our troops, they are also ready, but I think it is impossible for the little devils to land at this time, after all, they are so many, whether they can occupy a beachhead is unknown, and they still want to attack Tianjin City, I really think that we are the troops of the Nationalist Government. Although he and Su Yu are political commissars and commanders, they are responsible for the opposite, Su Yu is now in charge of the political life of the entire military sub-district, while Li Dayong is in charge of the march and war of the troops. However, no one in the entire military sub-district thought that there was anything wrong with this, but felt that this was the most appropriate way to match. And the headquarters of the Inner Mongolia Military Region never asked about this, as long as the military subdivisions were running soundly, as for the rest of the internal affairs of their military subdivisions, Han Yunhua ignored them all.

"I can't say, the commander said that the little devil is jumping off the wall in a hurry this time, and he may send the army to land and rob it, and no matter how bad it is, he will assassinate the *** Japanese prince to prevent future troubles." Su Yu said.

Li Dayong thought for a while and said: "The commander is thoughtful, but even if those *** land, what can they do, just those few broken warships, the maximum displacement is not enough 6,000 tons, and even an infantry division can't be transported, and how can a little devil mobilize a division of infantry in such a short time." Not enough infantry of a division dares to move Tianjin, it is really a bear's heart and leopard gall, I will wait for *** to see how they attack my Tianjin City idea. ”

"Lao Li, don't be careless, the combat effectiveness of the little devil's Marine Corps is still very strong, the combat effectiveness of a wing of the Marine Corps is not much worse than the field infantry of a division, and the weapons and equipment of the Marine Corps are also different from other field troops, they are all submachine guns and light machine guns, and the strength of the firepower is not comparable to that of ordinary field warfare, and it will suffer if you are careless." Su Yu reminded.

Li Dayong smiled disapprenosingly: "It's okay, Lao Su, I have prepared a lot of gifts for the little devils, hehe, as long as their warship can't go ashore, then there will be no problem, you can see it." Not to mention a wing of Marines, not even a divisional Marine Corps would not want to pass through my line of death. ”

"Hehehe, I don't worry about your work, you have eight layers of commander's ability, and you can always come up with some brilliant ideas in every battle, I want to see how you clean up the *** marines." Su Yu said.

"Then we'll see!"

On the Daimyo of the flagship of the Japanese Navy, Matsuda was looking at the battle situation ahead with high-powered binoculars, and so far only two torpedo boats were hit and sunk by shore defense guns, and the remaining two torpedo boats were besieged by gunboats and sunk, and the strength of the fleet was basically not much damaged. …,

"Order Yamamoto to land immediately, and the fleet advance another five nautical miles!"

"Your Excellency Commander, if you advance five nautical miles further, you will enter the most suitable shelling range for the shore defense artillery of China, Your Excellency Commander, should you think about it again!" A staff officer on the side reminded him.

"Don't think about it, the quality of the gunners in China is extremely inferior, in terms of the national strength of China, they have never been equipped with such advanced coastal defense artillery, not to mention that it is the Eighth Route Army of China stationed in Tianjin, even their government army does not have many qualified gunners, hum, the shore defense artillery is not a 38-type rifle, it is not so easy to operate, let the fleet move forward with confidence, the probability of the Chinese cannonball hitting the warship and the chance of being dropped by the sky are not much bigger, immediately execute the order!" Matsuda said disdainfully that the poor performance of the Chinese coastal defense force just now had completely made him lose patience.

"Hay!"

The Tianjin coastal defense unit was transferred from the artillery brigade directly under the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and these people had indeed not been in contact with such big guys as coastal defense artillery before, and even Han Yunhua had never operated that kind of thing, so all the training was carried out by themselves, and in order to ensure the safety of the coastal port of Tianjin, Han Yunhua deliberately transferred Liu Wenhua, the originator of the artillery unit of the former Inner Mongolia Military Region, and Yang Wanlou and other old people to the Beiping Military Division.

Liu Wenhua and Wan Guoquan and others are all old people who came out of Xinghe County with Han Yunhua, after the expansion of the army, he was transferred to the head of the artillery department of the Saibei Military and Political University, mainly engaged in teaching work, if it were not for the problems encountered in the construction of the coastal defense force this time, Han Yunhua really did not want to transfer him to the field troops, because although Liu Wenhua's education level is not high, and the education of junior high school graduates is indeed a bit reluctant, but as far as the training of artillery is concerned, Liu Wenhua has indeed done it in front of others. In recent years, more than 1,800 artillerymen have graduated from the artillery department every year, and they are still expanding rapidly, which makes Han Yunhua very satisfied.

After receiving the order, Liu Wenhua was not hypocritical, and immediately took up his post, because he himself had never been in contact with coastal defense artillery, so he was also training troops in the course of study. Liu Wenhua is not a big problem with coastal defense guns with a caliber of less than 250mm, anyway, the Inner Mongolia Military Region now has a field gun of the largest caliber of 150mm, so this is not a problem. However, the largest caliber of coastal defense artillery in Tianjin port is 800mm, and the shells have to be hoisted by cranes, and a single shell is nearly a ton, and other 300 and 400mm calibers are even more common.

The operation of large-caliber artillery is not very difficult, but the most difficult thing is that the shells of this large-caliber anti-aircraft artillery cannot be produced by the Inner Mongolia Military Region itself, and all the shells used now are left over from the Japanese army, and the quantity is limited, so Han Yunhua strictly forbids the troops to use precious artillery shells as teaching, which greatly restricts Liu Wenhua's play.

This battle with the Japanese navy was the first time that Liu Wenhua's coastal defense artillery unit really operated the shore defense artillery, so the accuracy of the shells fired at the beginning was extremely low, but the soldiers' usual training and accumulation of the background was gradually reflected, as the Japanese naval fleet continued to approach, some of the relatively small caliber coastal defense guns began to hit the Japanese warships, but because of the small caliber, they did not cause much damage to the Japanese warships.

"Brigade commander, the big warships of the little devil have moved forward 5 nautical miles, and they have arrived at the sea area where we usually train, are you using super cannons, that guy hasn't fired a single cannon since it was installed, this time it's just a good time to practice with ***." Yang Wanlou said to Liu Wenhua, who was watching around on this side.

"Hehe, since the little devils are sent to the door by themselves, we are still polite to others, we will use these big warships to practice, it just so happens that Lao Tzu is still worried about how to let the commander give Lao Tzu a whole cannonball, if this battle sinks a big warship, the commander will give Lao Tzu a whole cannonball, hehehe!" Liu Wenhua laughed loudly.

Matsuda never thought that Han Yunhua would send a hardcore figure to the port of Tianjin, just as he was giving orders on the Daimyo, on a hill not far away, a huge giant cannon was dragged out, and as the crane struggled to stuff the shells into the barrel, Liu Wenhua and several artillery commanders were busy correcting Zhu Yuan

"Report to the brigade commander, the giant fortress cannon is ready and ready to fire, please instruct?" Zhang Yunjie, commander of the 1st Artillery Regiment, reported.

"Launch!" Liu Wenhua decisively ordered.
