Age of Conquest Reborn

The visual inspections of carrier-based fighter pilots are first-hand information directly from the front line. Of course, they are highly credible, especially regarding the thick smoke coming out of the ground and the sound of explosions. This further proves that,

The effect of the second bombing achieved the expected purpose. If the Japanese underground fortifications had not been destroyed, this situation would not have happened. Tang Qiuquan breathed a sigh of relief.

From the bottom of his heart, what Tang Qiuquan was most afraid of seeing was that after the Marines rushed to the beach, what greeted them was a dense rain of bullets. Although casualties were inevitable in a beach landing battle, but

, if conditions permit, Tang Qiuquan will reduce this kind of casualties to a minimum. Then, mastering absolute air supremacy and dispatching bombers for two rounds of bombing is the first choice. For this purpose, no matter how much ammunition is consumed, it will not be hesitated.

!

"Xi Guo, the Japanese underground defense system has been solved. What's left is the Japanese shore artillery unit. Order the ships to start!" Tang Qiuquan said to Chief of Staff Xin Xiguo.

Xin Xiguo issued the order to each warship. Immediately, a series of commands sounded on the warships of the escort fleet. The huge shells, which required several strong sailors to be lifted, were easily fed into the naval guns by the loader.

barrel,

"The first front main gun position is ready! The second front main gun position is ready! The front main gun...!" The front main guns on each warship are all ready, and the thick muzzles are ready in the morning.

Under the sunlight, the luster of metal is reflected.

Just now, the sailors were so greedy and panicked when they saw the bomber group of China Airlines and the carrier-based bomber group of the fleet blowing up the Japanese positions into ruins and a sea of ​​​​fire. Originally, according to the landing operation plan, the naval guns of each warship,

It was necessary to use ferocious artillery fire to destroy the Japanese beachhead. Unexpectedly, the bomber group's first round of bombardment did not leave any targets for the fleet to bombard. This made several captains feel very aggrieved!

Colonel Kiyosaki kept his eyes on the sea. According to the routine, after the independent division's bomber group carried out two rounds of bombings, the landing force should start taking action. In just ten minutes, the shelling area of ​​the shore artillery wing would be completely destroyed by the independent division.

The division's troop transports and landing ships are full. At that time, when a large-caliber artillery shell falls, the lethality will reach an astonishing level.

Although after the artillery fire, all the shore artillery positions will be exposed, which will attract crazy attacks from the independent division escort fleet and escort aircraft groups. In the end, it is inevitable that the shore artillery wing will be completely shattered. But Colonel Kiyosaki believes that it is worth it.

The entire artillery regiment on the shore was destroyed, in exchange for inflicting heavy losses on the landing force of the independent division. Even if it had to happen all over again, Colonel Kiyosaki would still choose to do this!

However, more than ten minutes later, the sea was still empty, and a troop transport ship of the Independent Division did not appear in his sight. Even the raging fires on the position had weakened to repeated puffs of smoke.

It was unconventional, and the battlefield was too quiet. It was so quiet that Colonel Kiyosaki felt chills all over and his heart tightened. He stretched out his hand and subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling that his mouth was dry and thirsty.

"Boom!" There was a dull loud noise on the distant sea, and then, "Sun...!" In the sky, there was a shrill scream with a final sound, which made people's skin irritate.

Goosebumps. They are all veterans of artillery. Colonel Kiyosaki recognized it at once. It was a large-caliber artillery shell. When it flew at high speed, it made a screaming sound that cut through the air. The target of the shelling must be his own shore artillery.

emplacement.

The one that fired such large-caliber shells must be the main guns of the independent warships. Hearing the screams from far to near, Colonel Kiyosaki became less nervous. He did not think that the guns of the independent division warships could attack his own artillery.

What kind of fundamental threat does the position pose? Just now, the bombers of the Independent Division and the heavy aerial bombs like raindrops can't be dealt with. The shore artillery hidden in the strong gun holes and the warships of the Independent Division can't do anything either!

With a loud "Boom!", a large-caliber artillery shell exploded near the gun emplacement. In front of Colonel Kiyosaki's eyes, a huge fireball rose up, shattering rocks and soil, flying in all directions, and covered by gunpowder smoke.

Blocking his sight, a piece of shrapnel, with a metallic vibrating sound, passed by his ear, "Honey?" Colonel Kiyosaki screamed in surprise, and the hairs all over his body stood up.

Colonel Kiyosaki couldn't help but be surprised. When the shore artillery positions were originally built, they had fully considered the threat that might come from enemy warships and naval guns on the sea. Therefore, the construction of the shore artillery positions was very clever. They were driven from the sea.

It is basically a blind spot, and it is impossible for naval guns to aim directly at the target. But why did the shell just hit so accurately? If it were closer, it could directly hit the hidden gun hole!

Colonel Kiyosaki was not given much time to be surprised. Immediately afterwards, the second large-caliber artillery shell came roaring. This time, just as Colonel Kiyosaki feared, the shell flew directly into the gun emplacement, with a loud "Boom!"

, the last impression that Colonel Kiyosaki left in this world was that a huge fireball suddenly expanded in front of his eyes, and then his body was torn to pieces by shrapnel and turned into a ball of blood mist.

This is not a tragic ending. The third shell flew and directly hit the Japanese shore artillery position. The exploding shell detonated the artillery shells in the hidden artillery hole. With a series of loud noises, the Japanese shore artillery position, together with the large

caliber shore artillery, and more than twenty Japanese soldiers, instantly turned into fragments flying in the sky, flying in the morning sunshine of the Liaodong Peninsula!

The carrier-based fighter pilots, who were hovering at low altitude and acting as naval gun correctors, witnessed a wonderful artillery bombardment with their own eyes. The impact point of the first shell was slightly off the target. The pilots immediately picked up the coordinates of their respective observation points.

The second shell, like it had eyes, went directly into the cave where the Japanese army concealed its shore artillery. Then, the third shell followed the same pattern, with a burst of smoke rising, a burst of cement blocks flying across, and a violent explosion.

.

The fourth artillery shell flew in, blowing up the broken bricks and tiles on the ruins. The pilots reported the shelling of the targets they were responsible for observing to the fleet headquarters, "The observation results of the carrier-based fighter jets, the Japanese shore artillery positions

, a total of forty-eight explosions and fires occurred, thick smoke was everywhere, and the targets were completely destroyed!"

"Report to Commander, I have received a report that all the Japanese shore artillery positions have been completely destroyed! Our fleet has done a very good job. On average, one Japanese shore artillery position was destroyed with four rounds on average!" Xin Xiguo reported to Tang Qiuquan beamingly.

arrive.

Tang Qiuquan put a smile on his lips and looked at his watch. It took nearly four hours from arriving in the waters near Lushunkou, to two rounds of bombing by the bomber group, to destroying the Japanese shore artillery positions. At this time, it had already

It was around 12 o'clock in the morning on June 20th. So far, the Japanese defense troops on the front line of Lushunkou had been dealt a devastating blow, and there had been no casualties in the troops. He was obviously very satisfied with this result.

"Commander, do you want to order the troops to start landing immediately?" Taking advantage of Tang Qiuquan's happiness, Xin Xiguo impatiently put forward the request to start the attack.

Tang Qiuquan smiled and said, "What? Are you anxious?"

Xin Xiguo replied with a smile: "Commander, you have wronged me. It's not me who is anxious, but Commander Han of the Marine Corps. He has sent several telegrams to the headquarters to request a fight. I estimate that the Marine Corps'

Those brigade commanders pushed Commander Han Tie so hard!"

Tang Qiuquan's eyes flashed and he said: "Convey my order, the escort fleet's fast gunboat brigade, immediately go forward, conduct an indiscriminate rocket launcher coverage of the Japanese positions, and order the landing troops to prepare for landing!"

"What? Commander, you...?" Xin Xiguo shouted in surprise, "Commander, you are too naive. The bombers bombed in two rounds, one with heavy aerial bombs and the other with napalm.

The bombs have almost completely gone through the landing channel area. Are there any living people left in the Japanese defenders on the front line of Lushunkou? The little Japanese are not made of iron, can they withstand such a torment? It is also necessary to cover the rocket artillery fire.

?”

Xin Xiguo looked in disbelief. He felt that the commander had become cautious. From the perspective of the chief of staff, he had the responsibility to remind the commander that there was no need to carry out fire strikes again because the Japanese positions had become ruins with no vegetation.

, isn’t it unnecessary to fire thousands of rockets? Besides, the area covered by rockets will have to wait at least two hours before the troops can pass through. Isn’t it a waste of time?

Xin Xiguo was also worried. The war situation report sent by the division commander's staff office said that the Southeast Mobile Corps troops responsible for attacking the Korean Peninsula were fighting vigorously with the Japanese army in the direction of Inchon, Gunsan, and Mokpo, especially in the direction of Mokpo.

, the battle for the beachhead position is very fierce. The attack distance in our direction is shorter than that of the southern front. There is only one attack point, but it falls behind the southern front troops. So far, several hours have passed, and hundreds of thousands of troops are still there.

Squatting on the troopship.

This is the route commanded by Commander Tang himself. If he is overtaken by the troops on the southern front, as the chief of staff, he will be disgraced and feel uncomfortable. The commander will be delayed for more than two hours.

Time, isn’t it necessary? It’s not like I’m anxious to death!

Tang Qiuquan looked at Xin Xiguo, who was red-headed and blushing. A smile flashed across his lips, but he said unwaveringly: "Convey my order. The two fast gunboat brigades will cover the Japanese positions in all directions. The landing troops are here."

In the meantime, hurry up and have lunch!”

Perhaps, all the officers in the escort fleet headquarters, including Chief of Staff Xin Xiguo, cannot understand why Commander Tang did this? He was doing something that was meaningless, delayed time, and wasted ammunition!
