771, robbery cruisers
"Okay, we're all more familiar with the situation than you, now listen to me." Zhang Yushu finally said: "Our independent regiment has a total of five battalions and two companies, with a total strength of more than 5,100 people. Therefore, I decided to transfer the 1st Mixed Battalion and the artillery battalion directly under it to form a defensive force, under the command of Lu Zhonglian, commander of the 1st Mixed Battalion, to block the enemy in Anshan and Liaoyang. ”
Wei Chong wanted to say something, but Zhang Yushu waved his hand and stopped him from speaking: "The warships of the little devils are parked on the water, and their biggest reliance is the three garrison brigades of Andong, Dashiqiao, and Yingkou. Because in the eyes of the little devils, no one in this realm can attack them from the water, so there are almost no troops on land. ”
"Our difficulty is not because there are too many enemies, but because we want to turn all the little devils' things into our own things safely and intact. The main task of our journey is not how many enemies to kill, but to prevent the enemy from destroying equipment. Therefore, too many troops are bad. ”
"I agree with Sister Yushu's opinion!" Meng Kaihua nodded: "The two special operations platoons have infiltrated the vicinity of Dalian Wharf and Lushun Wharf, just waiting for a sneak attack tomorrow night." ”
"It has now been ascertained that after the light cruiser Tianlong has completed the supply of coal, oil, and daily necessities, it is anchored in the sea 500 meters east of the Port of Arthur, and it seems that it is ready to leave at any time. The destroyers Furong and Chaoyan were docked at the Lushun East Port Wharf. At the dock and on the sea in Dalian, there are only 6 search ships and 4 patrol boats. ”
"Our greatest task, and the most arduous one, is one of the things that is not in the order, to capture the light cruiser Tenryu, which has more than three hundred people on board. Anything on the edge of the dock, that's not too difficult. The destroyers Furong and Chaoyan are more than 100 people, and they are usually active on the shore, and only two little devils stand guard on the deck and the lookout on the warship. ”
"What I'm worried about is that once the little devils are alerted and send a signal for help, the little devil detachment on the opposite side may come over to reinforce them. You must know that the long island of Penglai is only 100 kilometers away from us, which is 54 nautical miles! In case the little devil gets the signal for help, he will rush over immediately, and it will be there in an hour and a half! ”
"To tell you the truth, you can't move at all on the shore until we get it. If there are too many troops, it is easy to expose the target. Once the little devil lifts anchor and drives the warship away, we have no place to cry! Of course, an anti-aircraft battalion is definitely needed, capable of both air defense and against ground targets. ”
Wei Chong nodded: "The first line of Dalian and Lushun is jointly commanded by Sister Zhang Yushu, Meng Kaihua, Chen Dazhu, and Ge Yougui. Everything is based on the actual situation, and there is no need to ask for instructions and report. You don't have to worry about the enemy in the north. As long as I, Wei Chong, are still alive, don't even think of sticking a toe in the little devil! ”
Meng Kaihua's reconnaissance conclusion was not wrong, because the base camp of the little devil is now deadlocked, and there is even a possibility that a second bloody conflict may break out!
Of course, among the two opinions, the opinion on the Chinese battlefield has not been abandoned, and the main thing is the struggle between the North China Battlefield and the East China Battlefield.
The "old Cheng Zheng faction" represented by Sugiyama Yuan believed that the main forces should be put on the battlefield in North China, and the north of the Yellow River should be taken down first. Ninji Okamura and Seishiro Sakagaki support this view.
The "radicals" represented by Hideki Tojo believed that opening up the situation in Shanghai, and then advancing from the north and south, attacking together to defeat the Shina army in one fell swoop, thus completely resolving the Shina issue, would be the best for the future of the empire. Kenji Dohihara and others support this view.
However, the base camp of the little devil argued for six days, and there was still no final conclusion.
Because of the course of the Songhu War, it completely deviated from the original design of the base camp of the little devils. Reinforcements such as the 101st, 9th, and 13th Divisions of Little Devils landed in Shanghai one after another and joined the Shanghai Dispatch Army to fight. The total number of troops in Shanghai has reached 270,000, but so far they have not achieved an inch.
The problem now is that the Songhu battlefield has become difficult to ride. If the number of troops is not increased, the 270,000 imperial troops that have landed are likely to be slowly worn away by the Chinese army, and this kind of loss is not acceptable to the empire.
After a month of fierce fighting, the little devils not only did not get a large piece of land, but also did not frighten the "Chinese people". Whether it was the Sichuan Army, the Guangdong Army, the Gui Army and other local troops, or the Central Army that participated in the war, they all advanced without retreating, and did not give an inch.
In this way, the illusion of the little devil's base camp clamoring for "three months to solve the China incident" has been completely shattered. At present, they can only seek to land in Hangzhou Bay and prepare to flank the Chinese army on the Songhu battlefield so that they can get out of the quagmire.
To achieve a large-scale landing in Hangzhou Bay, a large fleet is needed to provide cover and undertake part of the transportation tasks.
Although Sugiyama Mototo and others hoped to increase the number of troops in North China, they absolutely could not accept Hideki Tojo's condition that "North China should send troops to open up a passage into the Songhu battlefield within half a month and quell the Shanghai Incident."
In the end, there was no way, for the sake of the 270,000 imperial warriors who were mired in the quagmire, the two factions gradually compromised, and finally basically agreed: the light cruiser Tianlong went south, and the destroyers Furong and Chaoyan stayed.
Because of this, the little devil base camp ordered the light cruiser Draco to complete all the supplies at once, waiting for the next order at any time.
On October 14, 1937 in the Gregorian calendar, it was already September 11 after the frost fell, and the temperature at night had reached below 10 degrees.
"Today is not a good day, and there is such a big moon. God must be blind, and he is specifically against Lao Tzu, if it is a cloudy day, it would be good! ”
Meng Kaihua, Zhang Jingfu, and Ge Yougui, who had changed into special camouflage uniforms for the special combat team, were lying next to a black silk stone on the seashore, and the color of their clothes was similar to this stone.
It was now half past seven o'clock in the evening, and the second and third platoons of the special operations team were acting separately.
The combat mission of the second platoon of special operations was to take the Tiger Tail Turret south of Lushunkou. Then he went to sea and smuggled to the anchor chain of the light cruiser Tenryu and hid at the bow waterline, so that the little devils on the deck could not see it. Then follow the hull to the stern of the ship, use the flying tiger to board the ship along the anchor chain, and launch a surprise attack.
The combat mission of the third platoon of special operations is to take down the Golden Mountain Fort north of Lushunkou and destroy the little devils of one squad inside. After Zhang Yushu and Chen Dazhu led the machine gun battalion, the second mixed battalion, the guard company and the reconnaissance company to arrive at the Golden Mountain Fort, they began to infiltrate Lushun East Port.
Now, the two fort bunkers in the north and south of Lushunkou have been quietly taken down using the "Chicken Singing Five Drums Soul Returning Incense", and the little devils of the two classes have already seen the king of Hades.
"The light of the moon is so powerful, the target is too big with an inflatable sampan." Zhang Jingfu also agreed with Meng Kaihua's opinion: "We can only swim across the river with arms, and we need to open a certain distance." If everyone is huddled together, I'm worried that the little devils will find out. ”
Meng Kaihua looked at his watch and said in a low voice: "It's 7:40 now, I'll lead the two classes over first, and you lead the two classes to follow." Everyone, take note, bring an assault rifle and two magazines, and leave the machine gun, grenade gun, and sniper rifle behind. ”
"This armed swimming of 500 meters is a huge test for our special combat personnel. There was no need for the sailors to swim across, and after seeing our signal, they still used inflatable sampans to approach quickly. ”
To tell the truth, since 1904, when Heihachiro Togo led the Pacific Combined Fleet and defeated the Russian army to occupy Arthur in one fell swoop, it has been more than 30 years in the blink of an eye, and the little devil has never been attacked on the sea.
The little devils arranged sentries on the decks in front of them and on the lookout of the mainmast, and that was all for the sake of the ship's orders, not to guard against any enemy. Especially now that it is not yet eight o'clock in the evening, even if the enemy makes an idea, the general night attack is not so early.
The little devil is the nation that is the most capable of plagiarizing other people's things, and they are also the best at summarizing. The summary of the little devils is of course very good, but it is a pity that they have not studied the materialist dialectic, and all the ways of acting are too mechanical, so they will make the mistake of dogmatism.
Just like now, even if the three sentinels wanted to break their heads, they did not expect that the enemy would come out of their homes! Therefore, their observation directions are south, east, and north, and none of them observe the direction of their old nest - west!
Meng Kaihua has lived in an extreme northern place like Black Blind Island for more than a year, and when there is no freezing in the late autumn season, the special combat team members have gone into the water to train every day. I didn't expect that the results of the training were finally shown today, and it had already been attached to the body of the Tenryu light cruiser in about ten minutes.
Now that he couldn't speak, Meng Kaihua stretched out his left hand and gestured twice, and the first and second shifts had already separated, sticking to the hull of the ship, one left and one right, and touched the stern of the ship.
Meng Kaihua swam out two-thirds of the length of the hull against the hull of the ship, and suddenly found that it was black overhead. When I looked at it, it turned out to be the protruding base of the twin anti-aircraft machine guns on the side of the two-seater.
"Great place!" Meng Kaihua screamed secretly in his heart, and then raised his left and right to let the soldiers behind him stop, and listened to the hull of the ship closely, and there was only the sound of waves crashing on the hull.
With his left hand touching his body, the Flying Tiger Scratch had already appeared in his hand. However, now the flying tiger has been wrapped in strips of cloth, just worried about making a sound when it touches the iron plate.
Whoosh – click! It should be like the waves to learn, because the waves of China know to help their own people!
The flying tiger's claws made a very faint sound, which could not be heard at all under the cover of the waves, and were already buckled on the base of the anti-aircraft machine gun. Meng Kaihua did not hesitate, as if a raccoon cat quietly "swam up" along the rope.
The whole process is with both arms exerting force, and it is a short distance of rapid exchange of hands, and the rest of the body is motionless. This is the real kung fu taught by Bai Shujie, and it is also tempered thousands of times, and it is the best trick of the special combat team.
Slipping to the ship, Meng Kaihua found that the sentry at the stern of the ship was three meters in front of his left, looking at the direction of the Korean Peninsula in the east!
Boom - the steel crossbow's three-inch-long crossbow bolt barely made a sound, and it had already penetrated the temple on the left side of the little devil sentry.
Meng Kaihua took a sliding step, leaned forward with his right hand, and just grabbed the rifle that the little devil had fallen, and at the same time blocked the little devil's body with his chest.
Then he brought the 38-type carbine over and stabbed the bayonet hard at the back of the little devil's corpse, and immediately "made a support pole" to support the little devil here, giving others the feeling that he was still standing guard.
The whole process did not make any sound, at least it was much quieter than the sound of the waves crashing against the side of the boat, which was negligible.
It's a long story, but these steps are done almost at the same time in an instant. Because the other soldier had just climbed onto the side of the ship, he saw that Meng Kaihua had completed the work of "processing devil sentinels"!
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
