The 405 Giant Crocodile-class beach-grabbing landing craft
Lin Fei looked at Semarang in the telescope and ordered aloud: "According to the predetermined plan, attack." ”
Lin Fei had already reconnoitred in advance, and the Indonesians, under the command of the Dutch, gathered 200,000 troops in a suitable area for landing, and also built a large number of fortifications and fortifications, and laid a large number of barbed wire fences on the beachhead, so Lin Fei decided to use naval guns to strike at the enemy's beachhead fortifications before the army launched a charge, so as to open the way for the army.
As soon as Lin Fei gave the order, the six 240-mm main guns and four 120-mm secondary guns on the Emperor-class cruiser roared in unison, and the six 120-mm naval guns on the Dragon-class cruiser roared at the same time, and the shells rained down on the Indonesians' beachhead.
The strike method adopted by Lin Fei at this time was called "covering shooting", which emphasized the use of heavy firepower to cover the enemy's area, causing a large number of casualties and strong psychological shock to the enemy.
This time, the shells fired by the battleship were all high-explosive shells, and each shell explosion shook the ground slightly, and the shock wave stirred up dust, wrapped in shrapnel, and screamed and pounced on the Indonesians.
The Indonesians, who had never experienced the shelling scene, were suddenly stupid, they threw down their guns, howled and rushed out of the trenches, and they did not run out of the trenches, and it was okay if they did not run out of the trenches, because the shrapnel would not fly downward, so they could not hit them, and they ran out of the trenches and hit the debris.
One by one, Indonesians were torn limbs by shrapnel, their internal organs were shattered by the shock wave, and they fell to the ground and died, and the corpses of Indonesians were covered all over the ground, the stumps and scraps of meat were covered in a carpet, and the blood and ** merged into a stream.
Lin Fei finished a wave of high-explosive bombs, and ordered his subordinates to shoot a few cloud burst bombs, and the fireballs suddenly rose in the sky over the positions of the Indonesians, and the cloud burst bombs are mysterious to military experts from all over the world, even more so for these ordinary Indonesians, the Indonesians screamed in unison: "The fireball is coming, the fireball is coming, run, run..."
More Indonesians ran out of the trenches, stumbling on the blood and severed limbs of their compatriots, tripping over bloody, guttally dripping corpses, urine and feces flowing out of their trousers, looking miserable, they were paying the blood debt for the massacre of the Chinese.
The Indonesians continued to fall, and this scene finally caught the attention of the beachhead Supreme Commander, who was none other than the original Commander of the Dutch Fleet...... Williamson, when Lin Fei attacked Makassar, he took advantage of the chaos to escape, and was not caught by Lin Fei like Aridro and became a prisoner.
The Dutch guessed that Lin Fei would choose Semarang as the main attack location, so they asked Williamson to come to Semarang to organize an anti-landing operation, although Williamson was a naval commander, but he was also relatively good at counter-landing operations, and the beachhead was planned by him.
Williamson saw that the Indonesians kept routing, and hurriedly ordered the Dutch officers to suppress the fleeing Indonesians by the strongest means, the Dutch officers also wanted to escape, Williamson's order gave them a talisman, and they did not dare to run, so they simply took out their guns to severely punish the fleeing Indonesians, and the momentum of the Indonesians' escape stopped.
The artillery fire lasted for about 20 minutes, the barbed wire fence laid by the Indonesians on the beachhead had been blown to pieces, the anti-infantry triangular nails were also buried by mud and sand, and the chest wall of the trench was blown up.
Lin Fei's infantry is extremely strong in combat, second to none in the world's infantry, and the Japanese infantry who are not afraid of death are not their opponents, but the Dutch and Indonesians on the beachhead are not afraid of Lin Fei's infantry attack at all.
Because the Dutch have found a way to completely annihilate Lin Fei's troops.
At the pre-war preparation meeting, Williamson repeatedly emphasized to the crowd: "According to past experience, when the Chinese Army conducts landing operations, it usually adopts the tactics of infantry rowing small boats on the beach, and those small boats are very simple, and as long as we concentrate our rifle fire, we can inflict a large number of casualties on the Chinese infantry on the small boats." ”
Under the guidance of Williamson's thinking, the Dutch selected a large number of guys who were not afraid of death and had good marksmanship among the Indonesians, and formed a death squad.
Williamson also ingeniously named this death squad...... "Close Pig Hunting Team", the reason why it is called "Close Pig Hunting Team" is because the Dutch call the Chinese "Chinese pigs", and shooting Chinese soldiers is naturally "pig hunting".
Throughout the history of world warfare, this method of anti-landing warfare has never appeared, because those who shoot at close range will be besieged by the enemy's superior forces, and although they can kill the enemy, they have no chance of survival, so no one has used such a method of warfare, and only the cunning Dutch and the fierce Indonesians will use such a method.
The Indonesians approached the beach quickly, because Lin Fei bombarded the beach with naval guns, leaving a lot of craters on the beach, so many Indonesians did not need to dig bunkers, and hid directly in the craters.
Gradually, there were a rapidly approaching black spots on the sea, the Indonesians realized that those black spots were the Chinese boats, excited, and aimed at the sea with their guns, as the black spots became larger, the Indonesians vaguely felt that something was wrong, only to see that these boats were emitting black smoke, and seemed to be equipped with steam engines.
The Indonesians were surprised that the dinghy had approached the beach, and then the Indonesians suddenly discovered that these so-called dinghys were not small at all, each with a displacement of three or four hundred tons, and the entire hull could not see the exposed people, and the front of the hull was completely a large steel plate.
The Indonesians were at a loss for what to do, but they still fired, and the bullets "clanged" on the hull, splashing strings of sparks, but they could not shake the boat in the slightest.
Just when the Indonesians were "persevering" and shooting, the roar of machine guns suddenly sounded on the hull of the boat, and the Indonesians in several craters were hit by shells, their heads were broken like watermelons, and the bright red blood and milky white ** were mixed together and splashed on the torso, which looked extremely terrifying.
The Indonesians were so frightened that one Indonesian threw down his gun and ran out of the crater, while the other Indonesians threw down their guns and fled frantically as if they were infected.
It turned out that these strange "big boats" were Lin Fei's latest giant crocodile-class beach-grabbing landing craft, and when Lin Fei was relieving the siege of Zhurongcheng, he saw that it took an extremely long time for his troops to change to small boats, so he made up his mind to develop a beach-grabbing landing craft.
The alligator-class beach-grabbing landing craft is not as laborious to develop as the Emperor-class cruiser, and all the equipment of the alligator-class beach-grabbing landing craft, including the steam engine, propeller, hull structure, etc., are already mature designs, and they only need to be assembled, so the alligator-class beach-grabbing landing craft was launched quickly.
In the end, the giant crocodile-class beach-grabbing landing craft was built with a displacement of 300 tons, equipped with a civilian steam engine, and a maximum speed of 12 knots, barely able to keep up with the main fleet, and could carry a company of fully armed fighters at a time.
In terms of hull armament, the landing craft did not need to be equipped with weapons, but Lin Fei considered that in some cases, the landing craft was relatively close to the enemy's fortifications, and it was easier to support the infantry with weapons, so he equipped the giant crocodile-class beach-grabbing landing craft with a six-barreled 11-mm Green gun.
In terms of hull protection, the hull is surrounded by 30 mm thick steel plates, which can resist the fire of Makqin heavy machine gun bullets at close range, and the Mauser M1893 rifle used by the Indonesians is even more impenetrable, and the steel plates are laid high to protect the soldiers in the hull.
Today's Semarang landing battle is the first time that the giant crocodile-class beach-grabbing landing craft has participated in a battle, and it is also the first battle in the world to use a beach-grabbing landing craft.
The Indonesians fled frantically, and the gunners on the giant crocodile-class beach-grabbing landing craft used machine guns to name them in the back, and when the Indonesians had almost fled, the commander put down the steel plate in front of the hull, and the soldiers roared and rushed out of the hull and rushed towards the Indonesian fortifications like a group of tigers, light machine guns and grenadiers covered at the same time, and the Indonesians were instantly pressed in the trench and couldn't raise their heads.
The soldiers rushed into the trenches and shouted in Indonesian: "Shoot or kill." "The Indonesians have long lost the will to resist and have thrown their guns to surrender, this time the soldiers did not kill the Indonesians, this is because Lin Fei emphasized before the war that this battle, it is not allowed to kill prisoners, because this time it is fighting in the nest of Indonesians, killing prisoners will undoubtedly inspire the Indonesians' will to resist, and it will only be detrimental to the Chinese army at that time.
The soldiers took the Indonesians to the open field, although Lin Fei did not kill them, but he could not let them have a good time, Lin Fei had decided to imprison them in mines and farms to serve as slaves and mine resources for the Chinese Empire.
Less than an hour after the landing operation was launched, the Indonesian beachhead defenders had already been routed on all fronts, and the 1st Brigade of the 7th Division of the Chinese Army fully occupied the beachhead.
At twelve o'clock in the morning, two hours after the Huaxia Army stopped attacking, Lin Fei suddenly received a report from the front-line troops: "An Indonesian wants to see you." ”
