Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 134 Night of Naval Battle

All day long, Tang Qiuli was busy arming these fishing boats. He installed a mountain cannon and two mortars on each fishing boat. Each boat carried fifteen people. In addition to the gunners who controlled the cannons, they were all equipped with

Hundreds of submachine guns, as well as a large number of cluster grenades and bomb packs.

This battle was a close combat. Twelve fishing boats were assigned to deal with three troop transport ships, and the rest dealt with two warships.

He also asked the ship boss to prepare a large number of climbing equipment for climbing on the warship. The soldiers participating in the war were selected from the entire army. Although most of the soldiers in the army were landlubbers, the children who grew up in the north only had the right to climb on the warship.

There is a small river ditch, and dogs will plow it every now and then.

After finishing these tasks, he got in touch with the special operations unit that was monitoring the movements of the Japanese troops in the Jilin area. All military operations of the army in the Andong area depended on the speed of the Japanese reinforcements.

The special operations team called back and found out that the Japs were still gathering in the Jilin area. According to the speed of the Japs gathering, it was expected that they would be able to take a train in Jilin the day after tomorrow. Tang Qiuli was relieved. There was still plenty of time. This time difference was too advantageous.

He ordered the special operations detachment to quickly shift the focus of the next operation to destroying the enemy's communication lines, trying to slow down the enemy's reinforcements and buy more time for the troops in the Andong area.

Subsequently, he sent a telegram to Feng Jiwu, and the troops immediately gathered together, prepared for battle, and waited for his orders to seize their respective targets in accordance with the predetermined battle plan.

At this time, the supreme commander of the Kwantung Army, Nobuyoshi Muto, could not sleep. Although the plump and white breasts of the charming woman beside him made him feel exhausted after trying his best, his brain was running at high speed.

He still couldn't figure out why the main force of the Blood Hand Regiment went to Anton, a place that was difficult to defend and easy to attack. Moreover, this place had very little room for strategic maneuver.

If the whole line from the north is pressed, then the defender will only have to jump into the North Yellow Sea in addition to being surrounded and eliminated.

He had also wondered whether this was a trap to attract the main force of the Kwantung Army with the battle in the Andong area, thereby concealing a larger strategic intention. This guy Qiu Li of the Bloody Hand was not a simple Chinaman.

Up to now, the intelligence department has not obtained detailed information about him. He is really a bunch of trash and should all be disemboweled to apologize. He felt angry for a while.

This evening, Muto received the news that the entire Okada Marine Corps was destroyed. He was so surprised that he couldn't open his mouth for a long time. There were more than 4,000 soldiers and dozens of tanks and armored vehicles!

Coupled with the fire support of the navy's large-caliber naval guns, it was all shattered?

Only the main force of the Blood Hand Regiment had such combat effectiveness and firepower. This news completely dispelled the last doubt in Muto's mind. He ordered the original encirclement troops to speed up their assembly.

If we lose the opportunity this time and fail to completely annihilate the Blood Hand Regiment and give the Navy an explanation, the Navy will have to waste a lot of words and the Kwantung Army will be disgraced.

The night was dark, with dark clouds covering the half moon and the stars in the sky. The sea breeze blew gently, sending the salty smell of the sea into everyone's nostrils. The waves hit the beach, making a rhythmic sound.

"Whoosh" sound.

Liu Tiehan, Qiuquan, Li Honggang, Liu Chun and Xiaoling all came to see him off. Everyone knew how dangerous this battle was. On the vast sea, unlike on land, there was nowhere to hide. A firefight would be a deadly fight.

These people, as long as they had some means, would not let the commander go deep into danger. Unfortunately, the best candidate had to be Tang Qiuli.

According to the custom of fishermen, every time they go to sea, they have to drink a large bowl of wine. The spicy white wine instantly burned the chests of the soldiers, aroused their soaring male pride, and ignited the rushing blood.

Xiaoling kissed Tang Qiuli's lips gently without saying a word. But in the darkness, Tang Qiuli could clearly feel her moist eyes, the endless tenderness in her eyes, and her soft red lips.

, in this special background, gave him a special feeling, like a gentle spring breeze, gently blowing through his heart.

Xiaoling was more worried than anyone else. On land, she believed in Qiu Li's skills, but at sea, she could not judge the outcome of the battle. All of this was beyond her scope of thinking and imagination.

Six hundred soldiers boarded the fishing boat in an orderly manner. Although it was dark, they did not make a sound. They watched the fleet sail into the depths of the sea until they disappeared. In front of them was the endless darkness that enveloped everything.

Xiaoling's heart suddenly felt empty, as if the most important thing was lost and she couldn't recover it. A terrifying thought suddenly arose in her heart, wouldn't this be the last time she saw Qiu Li?

She was petrified by her thoughts. She covered her lips tightly to prevent herself from screaming. Her red lips had been bitten by her teeth.

Taking advantage of the rising tide, the fleet quietly sailed out of the secluded harbor. For fear of exposing their target, all the fishing boats did not raise their sails and relied on human power to row forward.

On each fishing boat, in addition to the boss at the helm, there are four oarsmen. The fishing boat moves forward very fast, and the soldiers also use engineering shovels to help row vigorously.

On the sea, in the thick darkness, we were approaching the Japanese warship amidst the turbulence.

In the distance, the sign light on the mast of the Japanese warship flickers like a will-o'-the-wisp, and the huge searchlight beam sweeps aimlessly across the sea, appearing irregular and careless. It is obviously the Japanese sailor on duty, doing routine work, without

Anyone dares to attack the modern warships of the Imperial Japanese Navy.

These lights just pointed out the target for the fleet. About five or six kilometers away from the Japanese warship, the fleet dispersed and each rushed towards the predetermined target.

On the fishing boat at the front, Tang Qiuli was holding a sniper rifle and standing firmly on the bow. Shan Hu and Battle were not able to do this and had to squat on the bow.

As they got closer, they were only five or six hundred meters away from the Japanese warship. The searchlight on the Japanese warship suddenly swept over the hull of the ship, turned to the other side, stopped abruptly, and started scanning back again.

Tang Qiuli knew that the target had been exposed, so he notified all the soldiers to prepare for battle. The artillery soldiers held the shells in their hands and waited for the commander's order.

The Japanese searchlights came back, and Tang Qiuli blinded the eyes of the Japanese warship with one shot. There was another clear gunshot, and Battle also shot out the other one.

The dark, calm sea surface seemed to be activated by electricity. Mountain guns and mortars on various fishing boats opened fire one after another. Various shells, with dark red tail flames, arced and hit the Japanese warships hard.

The Japanese warship immediately flashed with flames, and shrill alarms echoed on the empty sea. The Japanese sailors, awakened by the explosions and sirens, had no time to put on their clothes and ran half-naked to their fighting positions.

The incident happened so suddenly that the Japanese captain couldn't even tell what kind of attack it was. The whole ship fell into a state of panic. This was what Tang Qiuli wanted. Get closer, and then get closer, with the Japanese running around on the deck.

Sailors were blown away by cannonballs from time to time, and their bodies were thrown high into the air, eventually falling into the sea.

Facing such a steel monster, the damage caused by mountain cannons and mortars was not enough to severely damage it. There were flashes of fire on the sea. It was the gunners on various fishing boats firing shells at the fastest speed.

Each time the fire erupted from the muzzle, a small fishing boat was reflected.

Compared with the huge warship, the fishing boat is like an ant, but now it is a group of such ants, besieging a few clumsy elephants. The scene looks a bit ridiculous, but it is a fight of blood and fire, life and death.

Every boat tried to get closer to the Japanese warship. A big wave came and a fishing boat was pushed hard towards the huge body of the warship. In an instant, the small fishing boat was smashed into pieces of wood, and the soldiers on the boat were thrown away.

Entering the sea, in this dark sea and the battlefield with roaring cannons, who can know their final fate.

The Japanese warship finally came to life, revealing its sharp fangs, front and rear main guns, rotating huge turrets, making loud noises like thunder, and the shells exploded into sky-high water columns on the sea surface. It was powerful enough, but unfortunately, it did no harm to the fleet at all.

.

All the fishing boats had entered the blind spot of the naval guns. Unknown to the Japanese commander, the warship actually fired several torpedoes. The torpedoes dragged a long trail past the fishing boats.

By the light of the fire, Tang Qiuli watched the torpedo pass in front of his eyes. He didn't even touch the side of the fishing boat, but hit a troop transport ship anchored far away on the other side.

Amidst the loud noise, a large ball of fire suddenly rose into the sky. Fortunately, the Japanese troop transport ship was blown into two pieces, jumped high on the sea, and was suddenly pushed into the sea water.

Both vortices disappeared.

On the contrary, the anti-aircraft machine guns on the Japanese warships, used for air defense, posed a threat to the fleet. Machine gun bullets as thick as thumbs swept towards the sea like a torrential rain, and the muzzles of the guns sprayed out ferocious red and blue flames more than a foot long.

The fishing boat hit by bullets was broken at the waist, and the soldiers on the boat were beaten to death by bullets.

Within a short time, seven or eight fishing boats had been smashed to pieces by Japanese anti-aircraft machine guns, and more than a hundred soldiers were killed or injured, drifting with the waves on the sea.

The fishing boats were not afraid and tried their best to get close to the Japanese warship despite the rain of bullets. The gunners on the ship discovered a new target and fired at the Japanese anti-aircraft machine guns. One shell after another landed accurately on the warship.

He blasted a bunch of anti-aircraft machine guns that claimed the lives of his comrades, along with the Japanese, into the air.

Shanhu saw that the distance was close, picked up the bomb bag, and kept throwing it on the deck of the Japanese warship like a barrage of fire. After throwing the bomb bag, he threw another cluster grenade. Okay, let's catch up with this person.

A large-caliber naval gun fired. This time, its power increased even more, and the Japanese warship finally burst into flames.

Tang Qiuli's fishing boat finally approached the huge warship. There was a slight collision, and his hand had already touched the cold hull.
