The city of Weihai has been recovered, but the battle is not over yet, because there are still hundreds of puppet navies, 7.8 patrol boats and more than 200 artillery on Liugong Island opposite the port.
This Liugong Island is an offshore island with an area of ??3.15 square kilometers. Located at the mouth of Weihai Bay, only 2.1 nautical miles away from Weihai Port. As a natural barrier on the sea of ??Weihai City, it is known as "Eastern Ping Fan" and "Unsinkable Warship".
Although this small island is not big, it has a pivotal position in the history of modern Chinese navy. Because this is the first navy in modern China, the birthplace of the Beiyang Navy of the Qing government, the location of the Admiralty Office of the Navy (equivalent to the current headquarters), and the Naval Academy. It is also one of the main battlefields of the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War. It can be said that this small island has witnessed the creation, glory and end of the powerful fleet that once ranked seventh in the world and number one in Asia.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese occupied it for the second time, and later handed over Liugong Island to the puppet army. The puppet regime set up the North China Important Port Command on the island and stationed a small amount of naval troops.
Although these puppet troops are small in number and have 7 or 8 patrol boats in their hands, their combat effectiveness is low, but they can still pose a serious threat to Weihai Port, especially the Huangdao Fort in the northwest corner of the island, which can even threaten the city. Bombarded directly.
So after clearing the port, Zhang Beihai led the formation and headed straight for Liugong Island.
In general, the hundreds of puppet sailors and artillery on the island have a good fighting will. At least they are much stronger than those puppet infantry who surrendered when they heard the gunshots. When the Battle of Weihai began, they also used the large-caliber artillery on the fort to support the Japanese army in Weihai.
It can follow the progress of the war. These two devils who kept watching the battle with binoculars became more and more frightened as they watched. The ferocious artillery fire that turned the sky red, the rampant tanks and armored vehicles. All deeply shocked the fragile hearts of these grasshoppers, and made them fear from the bottom of their hearts. This kind of fear reached its peak after the appearance of the Red Navy. Seeing the torpedo boats and gunboats of the Eighth Route Army, which were made of steel and extremely fast, solve the two coastal defense ships in the port in an instant. I was so frightened that I trembled like chaff. You must know that although the coastal defense ship is the lowest existence in the warship category, it is still a warship with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons, and it is absolutely invincible in the Chinese waters. Now those small boats have sunk it in an instant, such a powerful attack power is really palpitating.
So when they saw those small boats approaching Liugong Island, these two devils raised the white flag and surrendered without even thinking about it.
Zhang Beihai wasn't surprised by this¡ªit would be hell if those puppet soldiers desperately resisted!
Soon, the fleet of small boats docked at the iron pier of Dragon King Liugong Island. After accepting the surrender of the puppet troops, Zhang Beihai arranged for the prisoners to be guarded on the spot, counted the supplies on the island, and appeased the people. Under his escort, he walked to the naval headquarters on the island, which was the original Admiralty of the Beiyang Navy.
When he came to the door, Zhang Beihai stopped and looked at this typical Qing-style courtyard building. He seemed to travel through time and space. He saw the scene of the bloody battle between the Beiyang Navy trapped on an isolated island and the Japanese fleet, and saw the scene of the surviving Beiyang Navy. Even though the officers and soldiers lost all their warships, they still brandished their swords and rushed towards the black muzzle of the Japanese army without hesitation. Seeing Ding Gong contemptuously throwing away the telegram to persuade him to surrender, he drew his sword and committed suicide.
Zhang Beihai slowly raised his right hand, facing the majestic gate and the illusory scene in front of him, the crowd respected a military salute: "The younger generation Zhang Beihai, on behalf of all the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army Maritime Independence Regiment, pay homage to the ancestors, my gentlemen. Don't worry, the juniors will definitely inherit your legacy, drive out Japanese pirates, and guard the thousands of miles of sea and territory of our Chinese family, even if you die, you will have no regrets!"
Although the voice is not loud, every word is resounding!
When the first light of dawn shone on the sea again, red flags had been hoisted in Yantai and Weihai, and the blood-red flags fluttered in the wind, grinning.
When the news came, Monk Xu and Li Hui, who hadn't closed their eyes all night, heaved a sigh of relief, and finally let go of their hanging hearts. But before they could smile with joy, a staff officer with furrowed brows walked in quickly. He said anxiously: "Reporting to the commander, the Telecommunications Division has just intercepted a message that two infantry regiments of the 14th Division of the Japanese Kwantung Army have boarded at Lushun Port. The transport fleet is supported by a light cruiser, 3 destroyers and Under the escort of 6 coastal defense ships, they are heading towards Jiaodong Peninsula, and the target is Yantai! '
When Monk Xu and Li Hui heard the report, they exclaimed: "How did you come so fast?"
Why? It was not forced by you, Toshishiro Xiaohata heard that the Eighth Route Army captured Yantai and the danger overnight, ?I was dumbfounded for a while. You must know that although these two places are not big cities, their strategic significance is very important. With the encirclement of all ports in the Jiaodong Peninsula, all transport ships from Japan will be unloaded at Qinhuangdao, Tianjin, Tanggu and other internal ports in Bohai Bay. , and Yantai and Weihai officially guard the key points of the route in and out of the Bohai Bay. Once occupied, the naval forces of the Eighth Route Army will use this as a base to harass or even cut off the supply lines of the Japanese army in North China. The troops will also have no ammunition to fight.
Toshishiro Obata, who recovered his knowledge, immediately hung up the phone to Yoshijiro Umezu, and asked him anxiously to send troops to help the North China Front Army retake Yantai and endanger it.
Fearing that the Eighth Route Army would use this as a springboard after occupying Yantai and Weihai, Umezu Yoshijiro, who harassed and attacked the Liaodong Peninsula, agreed to Toshishiro Obata's request without saying a word, and ordered the two infantry regiments of the 14th Division to board the ship immediately. Go to Jiaodong Peninsula. Recapture Yantai. Isn't it just a landing on the beach? The Imperial Japanese Army played more than those Tuba Road "six".
Umezu Yoshijiro, who was afraid that the transport fleet would be harassed by the red navy, also asked the commander of the Lushun navy to strengthen the escort force, and asked the only light cruiser in the port to go with him by name.
So, in less than an hour, the Japanese army's largest transport fleet in the Chinese theater since the Battle of Songhu sailed out of Lushun Port in a mighty way, and sailed towards Yantai.
Monk Xu, who had recovered from the shock, put away the smile that had just appeared on his face. He said solemnly: "This is bad. I thought that the gang of little devils would not be able to leave until this afternoon at the earliest, but I didn't expect it to be seven or eight hours earlier. This completely disrupted our schedule. Deployment. Now the main force of the Maritime Independence Regiment is scattered in Weihai and Yantai, and it is estimated that the ammunition is almost consumed. Even if the naval soldiers who have experienced the overnight battle can grit their teeth and continue to fight, they will not have time to return to Longkou to replenish ammunition , and then go to the sea area where the Japanese reinforcement fleet must pass to ambush. It seems that we are in big trouble this time!'
The chief of staff said with a worried face: "That's right, the 36th and 37th divisions have just finished the siege battle, the soldiers are very tired, and the ammunition is almost consumed. In such a short period of time, there is no way to get effective Repaired and fully replenished, once the Japanese reinforcements arrive, even if we can withstand the enemy's counterattack, we are bound to pay a lot of casualties."
After hearing what the two said, Li Hui said indifferently: "There is an old saying, why are you so panicked! Isn't it the reinforcement fleet of the Japanese army? Although we can't carry out an ambush, we can scare them away! '
Monk Xu was surprised and said: "Then what scares you? The airport has not been built yet, and the main force of the navy can't fall. Could it be that the heavy artillery was pulled to the shore and lined up to scare them?"
Li Hui said with a smile: "Using land artillery and warships to bombard them is purely courting death. Naturally, I would not come up with such a mentally retarded idea. Of course, I have to rely on the navy to scare away the little devils. Don't forget, there is still a lot of money in Longkou Port." There are quite a few ships!"
"Are you talking about the Luda class and the Red Arrow class? But Zhang Beihai said yesterday that the equipment on these two ships is too advanced. At most, naval soldiers can only activate them, but cannot drive them into battle? Could it be that Are you sending all these boats out to scare the little devils by numbers?' Monk Xu said.
Li Hui smiled slightly: "Of course not. Besides those Luda and Hongjian class, there are four 037 patrol boats in Longkou Port. They are enough to scare those little devils away!"
When Monk Xu and the chief of staff heard this, their eyes were bigger than light bulbs, and they thought that this kid also drank today, and everything he said was drunk.
They were so surprised. It is also being cleaned up. After all, although the combat effectiveness of the 037 patrol is good, but if you want to use four gadgets with hundreds of tons, you will scare the escort fleet, which includes a light cruiser, 3 destroyers and 6 coastal defense ships. , is tantamount to idiots talking about dreams, what's the matter, does this book really go in the direction of fantasy?
Li Hui knew what they were thinking just by looking at their expressions. Then he said: "Of course it is impossible to scare away the Japanese fleet with only four 037 patrol boats, but one of the weapons they carry can, and if you are lucky, the Japanese army will pay a considerable price" (Record Website website: www.hlnovel.com
