Chapter 264: Blast the Cloud First

"It has been confirmed that the general of the vanguard army is still in a coma?" asked Soichi Teraunuchi.

"The four well-known doctors from the empire made judgments in three investigations. According to his injuries, he would have to recuperate for at least two months even if he woke up." Teng Gang replied. He made many mistakes in the information of the Pioneer Army, and now his military rank has been demoted to Zhongzuo.

"What's going on with that Captain Niu?" asked again.

"He refused to vote for us, but he had the intention of being independent and could live in peace with us." Teng Gang said with his head down.

"It's better to be a chicken's head than a phoenix tail! Chinese people have always been like this!" Teraenae nodded and smiled.

"I heard that the navy members were going to attack Yangjiaogou in Shouguang? There seemed to be a salt field for the Pioneer Army and a pier?" he asked again.

"Yes!"

At this time, under the leadership of the Izumo, the Navy's fleet rushed to the Shouguang area, the Atsukatsu aircraft carrier, the Miaogao heavy patrol, the Tama light patrol, the Tianlong light patrol and some other dozen ships of all sizes.

This time, the base camp issued an order to attack Zhengzhou first, but there was no more Navy affairs. Thinking of the sinking of the Canglong, the *** Navy's Chinese fleet, which was full of anger, gathered ships from the Fourth and Fifth Fleets and began to settle accounts with the Pioneer Army.

Knowing that the air force of the Pioneer Army is powerful, this time they brought the Longxiang aircraft carrier. In addition, HNA also took off the HNA aircraft with an airport near Texas, trying to teach the Pioneer Army a lesson and save some face.

Such a team was discovered by the radar station from a distance.

"It's finally here!" Meng Xiang fiddled with the live broadcast of the main base and sat down to watch the Japanese ship approaching.

Because the sea water in many places in Laizhou Bay is very shallow, these heavy cruisers cannot pass through. Therefore, according to the waterway that had been detected before, it stopped far away from the coast, almost ten kilometers away from the coast. However, this distance does not have much impact on those naval guns. They do not need accuracy, they just need to rush the rough area.

As soon as I set out, I heard the turbulent sound of air passing through the sky.

"Be careful of the shells!" A *** shouted. Hasegawa Kiyoshi's face changed, which means that the fleet was discovered shortly after it was stopped.

"Boom!" The shell landed more than 200 meters near the Izumo and exploded a high water column. The distance between this water column and the offshore indicates that the Pioneer Army had a large caliber shore cannon.

"It's at least 200 mm." Hasegawa Kiyoshi judged. This time he was riding on the Izumo and temporarily launched this bombing of the vanguard army, but he nodded without entering the base camp. At this time, the base camp's main energy was concentrated on the Soviet side. However, it seems that the Chinese fleet did not need to take action against the Soviet Union. The imperial battleships had already patrolled the North Korean area.

"Even if the Pioneer Army has shore artillery, it cannot stop the fleet's bombardment." Hasegawa Kiyoshi confidently looked up at the sky.

Two reconnaissance aircraft of the Pioneer Army hovering in the distance in the sky, and three fighter jets flying up by the Dragon Horse immediately flew over to expel them. However, during this period, the relevant correction parameters had been sent back to the shore artillery.

Two more shells were bombarded, and the shells landed behind the Izumo who was moving.

"Attack!" Hasegawa Kiyoshi ordered. The Japanese had detailed nautical charts and maps about Yangjiaogou. The reconnaissance aircraft that were also chased by the vanguard's fighter jets also sent back relevant parameters. It was easier to face fixed targets on the land.

The four 203 twin guns of the Izumo first opened fire at the Yangjiaogou Pier in turn.

Miaogao's five-seat double-mounted 203 guns also began to fire at the dock. The Football, which had also entered the modified, followed closely and began to bombard the Pioneer Army Salt Field area.

Whether it is the seven main guns of the Tama light patrol or the four main guns of the Tianlong, they are all 140mm naval guns. At this distance, the accuracy rate is no longer guaranteed, but the firepower support is still possible. Together, as the Football-Hand starts bombarding the salt field.

"This time the Japanese came in full force, but it didn't seem like they were attacking with all their might, but they seemed to be coming to find a scene!" Meng Xiang smiled. If the Japanese came to attack, it would definitely not be just the navy. The Japanese's naval guns would not only be using Yangjiaogou to vent their anger.

The Japanese attack direction was discovered in advance, and the personnel there had been evacuated, and the machines of the saline-alkali plant that were being debugged were temporarily moved. As for the salt field, there was not much valuable thing, even if the Japanese were allowed to blow it up, the production would not be delayed after repairing at any time.

The Japanese seemed to have known that bombarding the salt field was not cost-effective, but they still bombarded two rounds symbolically and moved their targets to the small port of Yangjiaogou.

"This scene is not small!" Meng Xiang looked at the Yangjiaogou that was blown up in chaos on the picture, and couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, the people evacuated in advance, otherwise it would be difficult to survive under such artillery fire. A 203mm naval artillery shell came down, and even if it was not affected by shrapnel, it would be shocked to death by this huge shock wave.

"But, since you are here, you have to leave something behind! Tell the shore cannons there and beat me hard, and don't hurt them. These guys who bully the weak and fear the strong don't know how to shrink their heads." Although Meng Xiang could not come forward, Niu Yi and Fan Zhong conveyed their true words.

The thick concrete fortifications blocked the bombardment of the Japanese artillery shells, and the three shore artillery guns were still bombarding slowly. Compared with the counterattack of the three 203 shore artillery guns, the Japanese artillery fire became even more fierce.

There were still only reconnaissance planes from both sides and several fighter jets in the sky, but it seemed that both sides were waiting for the other side's plane to appear. The Japanese warships such as the Miaogao have been modified and their air defense power has been greatly strengthened. In particular, the 52 25mm anti-aircraft guns of the Miaogao combined with the Football Handrail can already attack the sky above the fleet.

"The target has been confirmed!" After listening to the message from his subordinates, Kong Ci raised his mouth and ordered: "Attack!"

In order to achieve better bombardment effect, the Miaogao stopped although it did not stop. One of its armor-piercing bombs broke through the thick concrete fortification of a shore cannon, and the cannon was temporarily silent. But then there were more and louder whistles in the sky.

"Do not!" The voice was familiar to the Navy. The roar of the locomotive passing by was definitely only available to the naval guns above 300 mm.

But the movement of the warship is no longer as fast as the shells.

More than twenty large-caliber shells rushed towards the Izumo.

Hasegawa Kiyo was pushed to the ground by the adjutant, and several guards next to him were guarding him. After experiencing naval battles, they already knew that this time the Izumo would probably be unable to escape.

Kong Ci waited for so long just to kill the Izumo first. Although the firepower of the Miaogao heavy patrol was even more powerful than the Izumo. However, the Izumo's resurrection during the Shanghai period made the country lose face. This time, he abandoned other unexpected attacks on the Izumo, in order to avenge a ship.

"Boom boom boom" continuous explosions sounded around the Izumo, and the huge water column was higher than the Izumo chimney. Black smoke came out from the three shells that landed on the Izumo. One of the 305mm shells almost directly exploded the Izumo into two pieces, but the surging sea water poured into the broken hole also means that the Izumo is at a loss.

"Turn!" Hasegawa Kiyo got up from under the guards with blood on his face and shouted loudly. Most of his command room was blown away by a 203mm shell. The adjutant and several guards were lying on the ground and there was no sound. The surroundings were filled with fire and smoke, as well as the figures of sailors who were hurrying to put out the fire. The messy sound drowned his orders.

However, he should be glad that it was just a 203mm shell. If it landed not far away, it would never have the chance to get up. But the 380mm shell hit the next to the Biliang gunboat, and it was torn into two halves. Without staying there for three minutes, it sank into the sea.

"Get out of here!" Hasegawa Kiyo's shout was drowned by another scream in the sky. Two more shells landed on the stern of the Izumo ship that was reversing. A 280mm shell detonated the internal boiler. Once the boiler was broken, the torn cracks could not be discharged. The two large holes on the Izumo body made it tilt even more.

Hasegawa Kiyoshi's head hit the ground again, fainted happily, and the soldiers who searched for him carried him onto the rescue boat. The Izumo's condition could no longer be sustained at this time and could not escape the fate of sinking. Fortunately, there were other ships next to him to rescue him, so that the entire army would not be wiped out.

Lieutenant General Yuki Yanze loudly ordered the Miaogao to fight back, but after one round of counterattack, the third round of powerful attacks came again under the command of Kong Ci.

The target of this attack was directly aimed at the foot handle. Originally, the first choice was the Longxiong aircraft carrier, but the Longxiong hid far away. It was too late to adjust the muzzle, so the foot handle was chosen nearby.

When the shore artillery was just arranged, the surrounding sea area had been divided into pieces and coordinates were set. Through the reconnaissance of the aircraft and the news from the radar station, the ship's position was locked and the unified command and direct bombardment could be carried out. However, when the fleet continued to wander, the target could not be locked. Only when they bombarded the Yangjiaogou Wharf, when the Pioneer Army's aircraft was not dispatched and there were only two or three shore artillery guns, the Japanese fleet stabilized, which just gave the Pioneer Army's shore artillery a chance to attack these relatively fixed targets.

Clusters of water columns soared into the sky, but the scattered mist could not cover the thick smoke rising from the Izumo. The foot handle also got a 280mm heavy bomb, and the smoke column also rose. In the firelight, the sailors busy extinguishing the fire looked at the direction of the shore worriedly. It won't take long before the fourth strike was coming.

The roar of the aircraft engines sounded in the sky, and the planes on the Longxiong aircraft carrier had already taken off one after another when the first round of bombardment appeared.

Under the escort of fighter jets, the 96 Land Attack flew towards the direction of the shore artillery shells. Halfway through, they saw the fourth round of shells whizzing past and flying towards the footsteps.

At this time, the Football Snake had already retreated under the command of Toyota Vice Takeshi. The attacking shells only caught up with one corner of it. But the 305mm shell that landed beside it directly tore a large hole in its right side of the ship, and the sea water poured in a large amount of water.

"There are four seats there!" In the sky, four 96 land attacks and four 96 ships exploded under the escort of eight 96 ships. They saw a particularly thick muzzle at one end of the necklace of a shore cannon, and a particularly thick muzzle stabbed straight into the ocean.

"That's a 380mm ball. It's too powerful!" Pilot Gu Liangshou San exclaimed. That shore cannon was enough to make the fleet rush. Although the 203 naval cannon can also be hit, facing the thick protection below, the 203 mm shell is afraid that it can do nothing.

"This 250-kilogram bomb doesn't seem to work either, right?" Gu Liangsou looked at the Type 96 critical strike aircraft produced by Aichi under him, and was also a little worried. He didn't know if the 250-kilogram bomb could face the thick concrete protective fortifications. It seemed that the fortifications seemed very thick.

His teammates had already dived down, but what was greeted was the firepower net of anti-aircraft guns. The firepower of the British 133mm mark1 rp10 anti-aircraft guns and the Bofors MK ii type quadruple 40 mm directly blocked the space where these aircraft stretched their wings.

In order to test the performance of various artillery, twenty-one large-caliber naval guns of various types have been accumulated here as shore gun defense. There are many of them in various countries, from 203 mm to 380 mm caliber, and although the logistics pressure is increased, it has become a naval gun test site and can also strengthen the coastal defense here.

At the same time, the tests were conducted on land and ships with anti-aircraft guns. After comparison, Meng Xiang finally discovered that although the German 88mm anti-aircraft gun was good at firing tanks, it was not the best as air defense.

The power of the 127 naval guns of the United States and the 133 anti-aircraft guns of the United Kingdom increased greatly due to the use of near-explosive fuses. Although the price was much more expensive, in order to better tests, Meng Xiang still produced four units each, all of which were placed in the open Shouguang area, and tested and compared together, and also added air defense for the shore guns.
