Chapter 224 The Battle of Qingdao (8)
When the drone flew to the battlefield, Luo Yue's battalion fought fiercely with the German army. At this time, the People's Army also occupied the advantage on the battlefield, which also made Zhu Yaping feel a little relieved. ⊙Dingdian Novel,... At the same time, it was also observed through the drone that two more German troops were one on the left and one on the right, approaching the battlefield.
So Zhu Yaping immediately notified Xie Mingfeng, the battalion commander of the fifth battalion who had reorganized the troops, and asked him to lead his army to block the German army coming from the left, and ordered the second battalion stationed on the right side of Jialing Mountain to attack and fight against the German army on the right.
It turned out that these two German troops were the German troops stationed in the Mawchy Mountain position and the Irtis Mountain position, and there were more than 200 people. Because these two positions were far away from Jialing Mountain, they came a little later. However, their whereabouts had been discovered by drones, so they naturally did not achieve surprising results.
The Fifth Battalion regrouped and attacked again to intercept the German army on the left. Although the battle just now caused heavy losses to the Fifth Battalion, it also made the remaining officers and soldiers feel angry. This time, they said that they could not fight so badly. Therefore, after intercepting the German army, the two sides fought fiercely. The Fifth Battalion firmly blocked the German army, making it impossible for the German army to move forward further.
On the other side of the battlefield, the Second Battalion took the initiative to attack the German army. Like the First Battalion, the Second Battalion was composed of soldiers who participated in the Tianjin Defense Battle, and their combat effectiveness was above other battalions. However, since the Crossing Army launched the Shandong Battle, the First Battalion made many military achievements on the battlefield. The Second Battalion was naturally a little unbalanced, and I also hoped that it would perform well on the battlefield and that it would never be worse than the First Battalion. Now I finally got the opportunity to fight, and all the soldiers were excited and immediately launched a fierce attack on the German army.
The German army was only half of that of the Second Battalion, and most of them were naval soldiers drawn from warships. The combat effectiveness was not strong. Therefore, they were attacked by the Second Battalion and could not resist them immediately and were beaten backwards by the Second Battalion. However, the German army was well-trained and had always been tenacious in fighting. They still tried their best to resist and did not completely fail.
When Ye Shike led the reserve team to the battlefield, the battles in these three aspects reached a fever pitch, but the German army was obviously in an unfavorable situation. Therefore, Ye Shike also urgently observed the battlefield and decided to put his reserve team there. After all, this was the last card of the German army.
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
The army of both sides was in full swing in the Jialing Mountain area, and fierce battles were also launched on the sea surface, but they were different from the battle situation on land. The battle on the sea surface was basically one-sided.
After the Kunming ship, Xiangyang ship and Huaihua ship destroyed the Bismarck Fort, they immediately arrived at the waters of Zhucha Island and launched artillery bombardment on the seven warships anchored in Qingdao Bay.
In fact, after the Bismarck's fort was bombarded by the fleet, the seven warships anchored in Qingdao Bay were ready for battle. In addition to the ironclad ships Saxony, Byrne and Baden had been stranded on the beach as fixed batteries, the flagship Bismarck Earl, the battleship Election Emperor, the protective cruiser Ferya, and the Queen Augusta had all started to burn fires and were ready to be dispatched at any time. Although only these warships were left, the German army would not just surrender.
After the crossing warship launched artillery attacks on the German ship, the three large iron armored ships that were stranded also fired back. However, in this dark night, there was no accurate aiming and shooting, and they could only fire in a rough direction. As for whether they could hit the target, they could only rely on God's blessing. In fact, the nearest landing point of the shell was 2,000 meters away from the crossing warship.
The artillery that crossed the warships was guided by fire-controlled radar, and these German ships were stationary and were the best targets. Therefore, they hit the German ships continuously at the beginning. However, the armor of these three ironclad ships was thick and had been stranded on the beach. In fact, they were not afraid of being sunk. Although they were repeatedly shot, they did not cause any blows.
The four warships, Earl Bismarck, Election Emperor, Feria and Queen Augusta, were at full speed and were ready to sail out of Qingdao Bay and approach the direction of the crossing warship, hoping to launch close combat with the crossing fleet.
However, the whereabouts of these warships have long been under the surveillance of the Kunming ship, because they are the Earl of Bismarck and the Election Emperor. Because these two warships are the two that pose the greatest threat to crossing warships, of course, they will not allow these two warships to sail out of Qingdao Bay.
Of course, these two warships are large warships of 10,000 tons, and their armor is heavy. The Election Emperor was originally a battleship. Although Election Election Empress was an armored cruiser, the thickness of the armor also reached the entry standard for battleships. Therefore, the effect of bombarding these two warships with artillery was not great. However, at this time, the Kunming ship had locked these two warships, which was also the powerful information function of the Kunming ship. It can also lock the Election Election Election Empress and Election Emperor, and guide the Xiangyang ships and Huaihua ships to launch two Fish 7 torpedoes to each of the two warships.
"Boom boom boom boom boom!"
All four torpedoes were prepared to hit the Earl of Bismarck and the Election Emperor. Although it was a 10,000-ton ship, it could not withstand the bombardment of two torpedoes. It was immediately bombed to cause a large amount of water to enter the bottom of the ship. The warship sank rapidly and there was no time to rescue it. Fortunately, neither of the two warships left Qingdao Bay, so although they sank to the bottom of the sea, the sea water was not deep. Although the deck was flooded by sea water, many of the superstructures of the warships were exposed to the sea. Unfortunately, the fortress was basically submerged and could not fire any more. However, most of the naval soldiers on the warships fled from the warships or boarded the superstructures of the warships, and they did not die many times.
At this time, the other two warships, the Ferya and Queen Augusta, had sailed out of Qingdao Bay. They shot and rushed forward with all their might in the direction of crossing the fleet. However, for these two protective cruisers, naval guns were enough. Therefore, the 130mm caliber naval guns on the Kunming ship aimed at the two warships, and a burst of bombardment. Both warships hit several guns in a row. The steel plates in the hull could not withstand the explosion at all and sank into the water. The sea water outside Qingdao Bay was deeper, and both warships completely sank into the seabed.
Although four mobile warships were easily destroyed, the three ironclad ships stranded on the beach gave several warships a headache. Because these three ironclad ships were all stranded, the torpedoes were useless to them at all. The armor of these three ironclad ships was thick and not much worse than that of battleships. Only the 130mm caliber naval guns of the Kunming ships can cause certain damage to them, while the 100mm caliber naval guns of the Xiangyang ships and Huaihua ships caused almost no damage to the thick armor of the three ironclad ships.
At this time, the sky was gradually brightening, and three iron armored ships were stranded on the beach, like three steel turrets. Although each warship had been shot more than ten times, it still stood firm and was firing and firing one shot at a time. Of course, the German ships' counterattacks were basically random and did not pose any threat to the warships passing through.
But how to kill these three ironclad ships? Shang Jinfeng, the captain of the Kunming ship, couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. It would be a pity to use missiles and torpedoes to strike. And even if they use missiles, torpedoes may not be effective, because these three ironclad ships are not afraid of being sunk at all. Therefore, the only way is to knock out the naval guns on these three ironclad ships. Without naval guns, see what else can these three ironclad ships have.
Of course, it is not easy to hit the naval gun accurately even if it is a modern warship. After all, no matter how advanced the artillery is, it still has inertial force, so there will be certain errors in accuracy, unless it has self-guided capabilities as well as missiles. And the Kunming ship's 130mm caliber naval gun, Yihao, can fire guided artillery shells.
Guided artillery shells are a high-tech shells that enable indirect aiming weapons such as artillery to provide the ability to accurately strike targets from a long distance. Simply put, guided artillery shells are equipped with guidance devices on the artillery shells to achieve the functions of certain missiles. However, guided artillery shells are not equivalent to missiles, because they do not have power, but are fired by gun barrels.
As China's best warship before the crossing, compared with its former 052c missile destroyer, the Kunming ship is powerful and comprehensive. The equipped H/PJ38 single-barrel 130mm naval gun is also specially developed for this type of warship. It can not only fire traditional shells, but also fire various special shells, and naturally also fire guided shells.
The guided shell used in the h/pj38 single-barrel 130mm naval gun uses infrared/laser composite guidance method. Four wings are installed at the tail and middle of the shell to adjust the flight attitude, and the storage life is 10 years. At a distance of 10 kilometers, the shell dispersion error can be controlled within 1 meter, and the first hit rate can reach more than 95%. When the range reaches a distance of 30 kilometers, the shell dispersion error can be controlled within 10 meters. Therefore, the accuracy of the shell can be greatly improved.
However, due to the high cost of guided shells, there are not many assembly on ordinary warships. This time, Kunming ships only brought 60 guided shells, and 30 spares were also brought on the Taihu ship. In the previous battles, guided shells were never used. However, the current situation is special, Shang Jinfeng could only decide to use guided shells for the first time.
So after Shang Jinfeng gave the order, Li Juntao, the squad leader of the gun and electric squad, immediately commanded the soldiers of the gun and replaced the naval gun with guided shells, and also locked the target on the operating table, the four-sided fort in the middle of the Saxony.
With a command to "open fire", Li Juntao pressed the fire button. The Kunming ship's 130 naval gun roared, and a guided shell hit the four-sided turret accurately. With a bang, the turret exploded violently and it immediately became silenced. Then the 130 naval gun fired again, hitting the turret in the front of the Saxony, and hitting again.
