Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 2342: Scarlet Port Arthur (Part 2)

From the Japanese Army's forward position in Lushunkou, one can clearly see that under the bright sunny sky and on the rolling waves of the Bohai Sea, the independent division's troop transport fleet came from the depths of the sea where the water and sky were the same color, like waves.

The small black dot dancing in the middle appeared in the sight of the Japanese soldiers in a very impactful manner. At this moment, the telephoto lenses of countless Japanese officers were pointed at the sea.

Captain Kiyosaki, commander of the Coastal Artillery Regiment of the Seventh Army of the Kwantung Army, was so excited that his body was trembling slightly. He was looking forward to it. Since the formation of the Coastal Defense Artillery Regiment, the forty-eight large-caliber howitzers have never demonstrated their true capabilities.

power, today

Sky, the target of the artillery attack is the Independent Division troops, the Chinese people, the sworn enemy of the Japanese Empire. When the artillery shell explodes, the water column stirred up is mixed with the broken limbs of the Chinese soldiers and a faint red color. It should be so beautiful.

"The enemy fleet is still eight kilometers away from the shore artillery range, and there are still seven kilometers...! The reporting sound of the combat staff machine is extremely monotonous and harsh in the dead silence of the wing headquarters, but

In the ears of Colonel Kiyosaki, it was a beautiful note, because every time the count was reported, it showed that hundreds of thousands of Chinese soldiers were one step closer to death!

"The enemy fleet is still four kilometers away from the shore artillery range!" The combat staff reported the distance again. Colonel Kiyosaki "swiped", pulled out the command knife, slowly raised it into the air, and then stood still. Although in this case,

, there is no need for His Majesty Colonel

Although he personally went into battle to engage in hand-to-hand combat, Colonel Kiyosaki still liked this command method, which best reflected the momentum of the officers of the Imperial Japanese Empire. All his subordinates knew that when Colonel Kiyosaki's command sword was slashed down, the entire regiment fired several cannons.

occasion!

Therefore, the staff officers guarding the telephone felt very hard. On the one hand, they had to listen carefully to the wing combat staff officer who constantly reported the approaching distance of the enemy fleet. In addition, they had to pay close attention to their eyes. Mr. Colonel

His actions, multitasking, test the brains and IQ of the imperial officers!

Colonel Kiyosaki's arm holding the command sword high felt a little sore. He still couldn't hear the combat staff continue to report that the independent division's troop transport fleet was approaching. If he just put down the command sword, Colonel Kiyosaki would definitely not do it. Wouldn't it be detrimental to the army?

The majesty of Imperial Japanese officers?

After waiting for another ten minutes, Colonel Kiyosaki's right arm was so sore that it was about to break. He still didn't hear the battle staff report that the enemy's troop transport fleet had entered the range of the coastal defense artillery fire. He

I raised my telescope suspiciously and looked at the sea surface. Is everything normal?

"Baga! Why don't you continue counting! Are you dizzy?" Colonel Kiyosaki shouted angrily at the combat staff.

The combat staff officer with the rank of captain replied very aggrievedly: "Your Excellency, Wing Commander, according to observations, the enemy's troop transport fleet did not continue to approach, but stayed still. I cannot report the data!" He said

It's the truth. I'm an independent teacher.

When the troop transport fleet reached the range of the coastal defense artillery fire, four kilometers away, it stopped inexplicably. This staff officer was also stubborn and took it for granted that the enemy fleet did not continue to move. I also reported

What the hell?

"Honey? - Baga!" Colonel Kiyosaki screamed strangely. Then he cursed angrily, with a fierce look in his eyes. Then, he ran over in a few steps. "Pah!" he rounded his arms and looked at the staff officer's face.

He's just a big mouther, and he's beaten so hard!

"Baga! - Damn China people, they are so cunning, what are they doing?" Colonel Kiyosaki was so angry that he almost went crazy. This bastard staff officer made himself hold up the command knife dryly for more than ten minutes.

But I still asked myself before I told him the reason. Damn it, you have such a big head. Why are there such idiots and idiots like you among the imperial officers? Colonel Kiyosaki even thought of killing this bastard who wasted his expression with one knife!

"What should we do? The independent division's troop transport fleet is just four kilometers away from the shore artillery range. Fight or not?" Colonel Kiyosaki was in a dilemma. The prey was right next to his mouth and he could already smell the fragrance, but he couldn't.

Excluding the last little bit, the maximum effective range of shore artillery is fifteen kilometers. Beyond this distance, the impact point and accuracy cannot be guaranteed, and there is no guarantee that the shells will be able to hit the current position!

Colonel Kiyosaki was so anxious that he stopped suddenly, with a fierce light in his eyes, and gave a vicious order: "Order, at each gun position, replace the currently loaded medicine packs and fire with the maximum charge! The range must reach two

More than fifteen kilometers, the first round of shelling corrects the impact point, and then each gun position fires five bursts of fire!" Twenty-five kilometers is already a 180-caliber coastal defense gun. The maximum range is, of course, theoretical.

Colonel Kiyosaki was desperate. He wanted to bombard with the maximum charge. This is the convenience of large-caliber coastal defense artillery. Because the caliber of the artillery is larger, in order to prevent the weight of the artillery shells from being too heavy and inconvenient to load and transport, the shells enter

The chamber must be loaded with propellant before bombardment can be carried out. According to the different distances of the bombardment targets, different charges can be selected to adjust the distance of the firing range.

Colonel Kiyosaki ordered to use the maximum charge. Although it could achieve the purpose of increasing the range of the coastal defense artillery, the damage to the artillery was also huge. For example, for shelling within a normal range, the average life of the artillery could fire a thousand rounds.

Artillery shells, after firing with the maximum charge, the life of the artillery may only be able to fire 200 rounds before it is scrapped. Therefore, Colonel Kiyosaki's order is at the expense of reducing the life of the artillery!

But Colonel Kiyosaki couldn't care so much. He saw hundreds of troop transports and warships in the independent division parked within a few kilometers of his own coastal defense artillery.

Chinese people, if you give them a harsh lesson, Colonel Kiyosaki himself will be so angry that he will vomit blood!

There was a shrill scream in the air, and several artillery shells flew from the direction of Lushunkou and landed near the independent division's troop transport fleet. There was a loud "Boom!" and a column of water rose into the sky on the sea!

When Tang Qiuquan heard the explosion of the shells, he smiled and said to Major General Xin Xiguo, the chief of staff: "Chief of Staff, order the troop transport fleet and escort fleet to reverse as quickly as possible and retreat ten kilometers. The Japanese shore artillery went crazy and came up from the distance.

Look, the maximum amount of explosives was used! It also happened to expose the Japanese artillery position. Combined with the intelligence from the intelligence department, it was easier to find it, so we ordered the aviation bomber group to attack and bomb the Japanese beachhead!"

"Order carrier-based fighter jets to dispatch to observe the effects of bombardment, order carrier-based bombers to take off and bomb the Japanese artillery positions, and order all escort warships and main guns to bombard the Japanese shore artillery positions based on the reports sent back by the fighter jets!"

Tang Qiuquan issued a series of orders. From the bottom of his heart, he did not expect that the Japanese coastal defense artillery commander would be so crazy. When his troop transport fleet was not within the range of artillery fire, he would rely on increasing the amount of explosives.

, to carry out artillery fire on myself, but this is fine, because I am worried that it is difficult to determine the specific location of the Japanese coastal defense artillery emplacement. Since the Japanese army is crazy, they will send it to their door to fight!

Tang Qiuquan knew better that at this time, the Japanese coastal defense artillery had a range, but the accuracy of the bombardment would be greatly reduced. It was not a big threat to the troop transport fleet scattered on the sea surface with a radius of dozens of kilometers, but for

To be on the safe side, he still ordered the fleet to retreat, within the effective range of his warships' guns and beyond the effective range of the Japanese shore guns!

As the first cannon was ejected from the chamber, a huge explosion reverberated in the air. Colonel Kiyosaki's heart suddenly opened up, just like a breath of turbid air that had been stuck in his chest for a long time was suddenly released. Don't mention it in your heart.

What a pleasure!

Colonel Kiyosaki held up his telescope and looked at the rising water columns on the sea. He kept shouting, "Yo Xi! That's great. Let's fight like this and send all these hateful Chinese people to the bottom of the sea!"

But there are disappointments everywhere. The combat staff officer who was responsible for reporting the distance of the independent division's troop carriers received a big slap from the captain, but as an imperial soldier, he should fulfill his duties loyally. Under any circumstances,

It could not affect the performance of his duties, so the conscientious captain's staff straightened his face, half of which was swollen, and began to report accurately, "The enemy fleet is six kilometers, seven kilometers, and nine kilometers away from the shore artillery range.

....."

"Baga! Shut your stinky mouth!" Colonel Kiyosaki was so angry that he shouted loudly at this wooden peg-like combat staff officer. This staff officer was simply here to block his own coastal defense artillery range.

There is an end, but

The independent division's troop transport fleet has an endless retreat distance. "Order each artillery position to fire continuously without interruption!" Colonel Kiyosaki finished yelling at the combat staff, and then shouted loudly to the staff standing by the phone.

.

The Japanese coastal defense artillery fired a series of shells onto the sea. Countless water columns rose into the sky. Viewed from the shore, the momentum was amazing. Unfortunately, there was no thick plume of water that emerged after the independent division troop carrier was hit.

Smoke and flames, amidst the "rumbling" sounds of artillery, the dull roar of engines came from the southern sky!

This overwhelming roar gradually overcame the shelling of shore batteries, attracting countless Japanese officers, who pointed their telescopes at the southern sky. In Colonel Kiyosaki's telescope, a group of black aircraft appeared. At the same time,

In the telescopic eyes of all Japanese military officers

, all saw this amazing scene. In the clear sky of the Liaodong Peninsula in June, hundreds of bombers lined up in neat formation. From the blue sky in the south, the field of vision gradually expanded and became clearer. On the fuselage, independent

The military emblem of the division aviation gleams in the sun!

Subsequently, fighter jets and bombers also took off from the Independent Division fleet on the sea. Together with the independent division bomber group coming from the south, they formed a formation with different flying heights but the same murderous aura.
