Ding Dakui was the first batch of artillery commanders trained by Bai Shujie's First Heavy Artillery Regiment after its formation, and later fought against the little devils at the Fuxin front, and personally commanded the artillery battalion and destroyed one of the little devils' field artillery brigade. After being promoted due to merit, he was transferred to Wei Chong to form an artillery regiment.

"Division commander, the nine guns have been deployed, the anchorage of the little devil's troop carrier is 7 kilometers away from us, and the Tanggu wharf is 6 kilometers away from us. The frigate is the Muzuki destroyer, which is now 9 km from us. ”

Ding Dakui came to Wei Chong's side and said, "This fucking little devil is so arrogant that he doesn't take the Tianjin defenders in his eyes at all. The warship is so close to the coastline, isn't this looking for death? Divisional commander, when are we going to attack? ”

Wei Chong held the telescope and never put it down, this is a new topic for attacking enemy ships. The most successful time of the Rehe Front was when the 1st Heavy Artillery Regiment ambushed a detachment of the little devils and sank a frigate.

Of course, Wei Chong was not thinking about this problem, because now that the enemy's warships had stopped at anchorage, they were all live targets. He just couldn't decide whether to bomb the troop carrier or directly hit the destroyer Mutsuki.

Regarding Wei Chong's doubts, as the commander of the artillery regiment, Ding Dakui immediately gave his opinion: "Division commander, even if you want to attack the troop carrier, then you must kill the Muyue destroyer!" This guy has 4 ship-based heavy oil boilers, 38,500 horsepower, 37.3 knots, and runs fast. ”

"It has a total length of 102.7 meters, a width of 9.2 meters, a draft of 3 meters, and a full load displacement of 1,445 tons. The biggest threat to us is that this guy has 4 120-mm 45-caliber cannons with a range of more than 25 km. ”

Wei Chong nodded and said, "Look at the dock in the direction of Tanggu, now the little devil is getting off the boat." According to the results of reconnaissance during the day, this is the mixed second brigade of the little devils. According to the telegram analysis of the Chengde boss, this mixed brigade was temporarily drawn from Manchuria in order to stabilize Tianjin, which had just arrived. ”

"They had only two infantry wings of disengagement, a cavalry squadron, a field artillery brigade and an engineer squadron. Ding Dakui, if we kill this mixed brigade, do you think the little devils will still draw troops over? ”

Ding Dakui then understood what Wei Chong was thinking, so he continued: "Of course! Because the Kuomintang Chiang has already stated that he will go all out to resist the war, if the little devil does not stabilize Beiping and Tianjin, the future battle will definitely be very troublesome! ”

"Hahaha, you're wrong!" Wei Chong said coldly: "Lao Tzu didn't think about it so much! The reason why this mixed brigade is to be killed is because Lao Tzu's second senior sister's special forces will take action in Beiping and Tianjin at the same time tonight, so that the little devil will not be able to settle down to deal with the 29th Army. ”

"Second Senior Sister, this time they want to destroy all the facilities and personnel rented by the little devils in Tianjin, and create a riot for the little devils! If these bastards enter Tianjin, my second senior sister will be in trouble. As for Jiang ordering the troops to go north, this matter does not belong to my consideration, it is the boss's business. ”

Ding Dakui nodded: "Okay, I ordered two batteries to raid the Mutsuki destroyer, and the other battery to attack the Sakuramaru troop transport." ”

Wei Chong nodded: "You first order the brothers to mark the bombing target, when to start the operation, and listen to my orders!"

It turned out that Wei Chong was waiting for a telegram, that is, the reconnaissance battalion was sent out to kill the two companies of the Tanggu garrison squadron, and after the encirclement was completed, a telegram would be sent over, and then Wei Chong ordered the artillery to be fired.

Tongguò's sudden bombardment of the Tanggu pier braked the chaos, and the 3rd and 4th companies of the reconnaissance battalion immediately launched a surprise attack. In the explosion of heavy artillery, the sound of light machine gun fire from the reconnaissance company was negligible.

Only in this way can they cover the deputy division commander Wang Sanju and them at the same time to rush to transport supplies. By the time the little devils figure out what happened tomorrow morning, Wei Chong and the others didn't know where they had gone.

Therefore, the strike time of heavy artillery must be just right, so as to kill three birds with one stone.

The battle plan that Bai Shujie specified at the beginning was hierarchical:

The primary target is the equipment, finished products and raw materials in the Dagu Shipyard, the Tangda Gun Bureau, and the Pegasus freighter, and of course the nautical communication equipment in the Pegasus freighter. Those who can move should be moved as much as possible, because after the start of the all-out war of resistance, it will enter a difficult period.

The secondary goal is to destroy the troop carriers of the little devils and create some trouble for the little devils to reinforce North China. Yes, it can only be a certain amount of trouble, and it is simply impossible to end the War of Resistance against Japan here!

In order to realize this tactical guiding ideology, Yang Erya's "underground special forces" will cooperate with the action and create chaos in Beiping and Tianjin, so that the little devils cannot take care of both inside and outside.

As for the second mixed brigade of the little devils, Bai Shujie didn't attach much importance to it, because the time was too hasty, so its establishment was not complete at all. The current brigade commander is Major General Guan Guizhi, under the jurisdiction of:

The 1st Infantry Wing (owed to the 3rd Brigade), the Wing Commander Togawa Jiro Osa's 3rd Infantry Wing (owed to the 2nd Brigade), the Wing Commander Yuasa Masao Osa's 1st Cavalry Wing, the 2nd Squadron, the 1st Field Artillery Wing, the 4th Brigade, the 1st Engineer Wing.

Bai Shujie ordered Wei Chong to strike at the troop carrier, just to sink a field artillery brigade of this brigade to the bottom of the sea. For the little devils, the first precious thing is the plane, the second is the warship, and the third is the heavy artillery and tank.

The most distressing thing to fight the little devil, Bai Shujie has always been more interested. If you can make the little devil's heart bleed every day, then why not?

Wei Chong understood Bai Shujie's thoughts, and at the same time, he also knew that today was an extremely dangerous moment, so he had not moved since he stood there.

Shelling enemy warships, it's simple to say. But Bai Shujie specifically emphasized that at the critical moment, the nine cannons are gone, and saving a small life is the first thing!

Therefore, what Wei Chong was worried about was that if the first round of shelling did not kill the little devil's main gun, once the little devil's warship reacted, it would be terrible!

Because the warship's naval guns are automatically rotated and ranged, while their own heavy guns are field guns, they are not flexible in moving or turning.

Just give the little devil warship three minutes of respite, and they can fire the first shell. If you hit the counter-shooting state, you're basically finished. At that time, their own artillery regiment will be wiped out!

Just when Wei Chong was hesitating, the operator ran over and reported: "Report to the division commander: The deputy commander of the reconnaissance battalion has called, they have completed the tactical encirclement of the enemy at two o'clock in the morning, and they can launch an attack on the enemy in front of them at any time!" ”

Now that the arrow is ready to fly, it is useless to think about anything else, so Wei Chong did not delay his work any longer: "Ding Dakui: If the bombing area has been demarcated, then order the gunners to fire at Lao Tzu!" Regardless of the number of shells, you think you will almost retreat! ”

Ding Dakui turned to leave, and Wei Chong's telescope turned for the first time in the direction where the Muyue destroyer was.

Although I couldn't see anything clearly at two o'clock in the morning, the lights on the warship still vaguely outlined the appearance of the warship, and I could barely see a rough idea through the telescope.

After the Tanggu wharf was attacked, there was no way to fight back, and Wei Chong wanted to see if the little devil's warship would fight back.

9 kilometers away in the sea, once the 120mm naval guns fired, the telescope could still detect a trace of muzzle flame at night. There are more than ten seconds, which is enough to withdraw some distance.

Boom! Boom! Boom! In the middle of the night, the sound of heavy artillery ejecting the chamber, Wei Chong stood more than 300 meters away, and still felt very crisp, just like thunder!

Unfortunately, the body felt the opposite, not only the ear drums swelled, but also the heart contracted violently. The sound of the shell falling to the ground is more like a pleasant sonata, but it doesn't sound very harmonious!

Wei Chong had just felt a little more comfortable, and a flash of fire suddenly appeared in the telescope, so he blurted out: "Okay, good fight!" ”

Although he didn't hear anything, Wei Chong dared to conclude that the first batch of 6 shells rushed over, and at least one of the shells landed on the warship! If you fall into the water, there will be no explosion! The shells fell and exploded in the sea, and the column of water that soared into the sky is now impossible to see.

When he saw the flash of fire for the third time, Wei Conflict suddenly jumped up: "Concentrate the firepower and bombard the Tanggu Wharf!" The warship of the little devils has already burned completely, there is no need to continue to Lang Fei shells! ”

It's a pity that the gunners didn't listen to the 6 heavy guns that were specially attacking the Muyue destroyer, but fired three more rounds of shells at the warship!

Whose command is the artillery under its command?

The Rehe Front has regulations that the command sequence of artillery is: artillery commander, artillery regiment commander, artillery battalion commander, and so on.

Although Wei Chong is the commander of the Rao'an Independent Division and belongs to the highest commander of this military group, he can only command the commander of the artillery regiment, but he is not qualified to command the rest of the artillery regiment!

If other people listen to the blind command of the division commander, it is called violating the military order! If you cause the consequences of being strict, then you have to be shot!

"Commander, what are you anxious about? Striking warships is completely different from other targets. Because there are damage controllers on the warship, as long as the warship has not been sunk, it is possible to launch a counterattack. ”

Ding Dakui, the commander of the artillery regiment, saw Wei Chong jumping to his feet in a hurry, so he came over and said, "If you attack a warship, you must sink it." Without a sunken warship, it can strike back at any time. ”

"Now we can't know for sure whether the enemy's main guns have been killed or not, no one knows! As for the light of the fire you see, that doesn't mean anything at all. Of course, if you can see a sudden explosion on the sea, then it means that the ammunition compartment of the enemy's warship has exploded, and then it can be said that the warship is completely finished. ”

"I'm cāo, Lao Tzu has never fought a warship, how do I know that there are so many details inside!" Wei Chong smiled embarrassedly: "According to the military regulations, Lao Tzu just keep his mouth shut!" ”

"No need, you can look at it now." Ding Dakui stretched out his hand and pointed to the east: "The enemy's warship is completely finished now, and it won't sink in ten minutes." ”

"I'm cāo, this is what you call a big bang?" Wei Chong raised his binoculars and looked at it, and couldn't help but gasp: "Now it's clear that the enemy's warship has been stopped and blown in two!" ”

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
