Chapter 88 The Battle of Tianjin (1)

Thinking of this, Fukushima Anmatsu rubbed his temples. No matter what, he finally clarified his mind and did not be as aimless as he was at the beginning, so he could feel a little relieved.

Fukushima Anma poured himself a glass of sake and looked at his pocket watch. It was already ten needles at night. At this time, the camp was silent and most of the Japanese soldiers fell asleep.

At this moment, there was a loud "boom" sound, and the earth seemed to tremble. Fukushima Anmashi's hand shook, and most of the wine was bought. The bowls, plates, cups and chopsticks on the table were also trembling. Fukushima Anmashi was also shocked and stood up from the chair, wanting to go out and see what was going on.

But before Fukushima An Zheng could reach the door, there were two loud "boom" sounds. Fukushima An Zheng suddenly stood unsteadily and fell to the ground. However, the explosion sounded one after another, and the huge impact force opened the door of Fukushima An Zheng's residence.

At this time, Fukushima Anmasaki still didn't understand what happened. The Japanese army's garrison was shelled by the enemy. But what Fukushima Anmasaki couldn't understand was how the enemy knew the location of his garrison?

In this era, the range of artillery is not a bottleneck. Generally, howitzers with a caliber of 100 mm can reach a range of 15 to 0 kilometers. If they are 150 mm caliber or 00 mm caliber, they can hit farther. 0 or 40 kilometers are not a problem. Strikes outside the visual range can be achieved. The technology that limits the power of artillery is the accuracy of shooting. If you want to strike the enemy at a long distance, unless the enemy's position occupies a huge area and there is no need to aim at it, you must first know the detailed position of the enemy. In addition, someone must observe the fall of the shell to see if the shell hits the target. If the target is not hit, the artillery must provide correction unit parameters. This is related to another problem. How to transmit the correction unit parameters back? In this era, it is usually transmitted in flag language.

Now the Japanese army's base is about fifteen kilometers away from the periphery of Dagukou. There are also several 100mm caliber artillery in the Japanese army that can be shot to Dagukou. But no one can observe the landing of the enemy's body. Therefore, Fukushima Anzhi did not bombard Dagukou. However, Fukushima Anzhi arranged a large number of sentry positions on the periphery of the Japanese army's base, which would not allow the enemy to understand the landing of the Japanese army's body, and it would be even more impossible for the enemy to observe the landing of the shells nearby. Moreover, when the darkness is dark, even if someone lurks nearby, it is impossible to see the landing of the shells clearly, and it is even more impossible to pass the parameters back.

Judging from the results of the opponent's shelling, all the lands fell at the Japanese army's garrison. Although the shelling was not dense, there were continuous shells falling without stopping. This also shows that the enemy was very clear about the location of the Japanese army's garrison and had a considerable confidence in the accuracy of their shelling. It even reached the point where no one could observe it at close range. Providing correction parameters can ensure that the artillery hit the target. As far as Fukushima Akamasa knows, it seems that there is no artillery in that country in the world that can reach this level, so how did the opponent do it? Is it just good luck?

However, now is not the time to study the opponent's artillery technology. The opponent's artillery shells are still falling. Although there are not many shells, they are very powerful. It is estimated that they are at least 150 mm caliber shells, and even 00 mm caliber shells. Such giant cannons are only available on warships.

The Japanese army's base was an ordinary village. Most of the houses were made of wooden structures or rammed earth brick walls, while most houses were made of thatch, and only a few large households used tiles. Of course, such houses could not withstand the impact of high-explosive bombs. As long as they were hit by shells, they would be blown to pieces, and the earth, wood chips, thatch tiles flew around. Many houses were lit with fire, and the Japanese soldiers in the house fled outside the house.

But escaping from the house may not be safer than in the house, because shells do not have eyes, and it is possible to fall there. Once they fall into the crowd, no one will be spared within 30 meters. Therefore, the Japanese soldiers were bombed and killed or injured, while the other Japanese soldiers were running around in the garrison like headless flies.

At this time, Fukushima Anmasa was also a little at a loss. Although he had the rank of major general, he had no practical experience after all. Faced with such a situation, he didn't know what to do.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The shelling situation in the Japanese camp had long been photographed by a drone that was reconnaissance at high altitudes and was instantly transmitted to the Kunming ship.

Before the battle began, Xia Bohai, Qin Zheng and Xiao Jianjun boarded the Kunming ship again and took charge of the command on the Kunming ship. Because the Kunming ship has advanced equipment and high information level, it is more suitable as a combat command center on site.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the Kunming ship, which was anchored at the mouth of the Haihe River, was the first to use the 10mm caliber naval gun at the head of the ship to shell the Japanese garrison at a rate of 10 rounds per minute. The Xiangyang ship, which was still anchored at the dock, also launched a strike at the Japanese garrison with its own double 100mm naval gun at a rate of 6 rounds per minute.

Although the five naval guns were bombarded at their lowest rate of fire, they were already considered rapid-fire guns in this era. The precise preparation of modern artillery was not comparable to that of this era. With drones providing shooting parameters, the landing of shells was very accurate, and all fell into the Japanese army's garrison. Therefore, in just two minutes, a total of 68 shells fell, and the power of modern craftsmanship's high-explosive bombs was far greater than that of the same caliber shells in this era. Although the sixty-eight shells were not enough to destroy the entire Japanese army's garrison, it also gave the Japanese army a heavy blow.

Looking at the video sent back by the drone, the trio was very satisfied with the result of the shelling. Xia Bohai said: "The shelling result is good. Can you dispatch the Marine Corps now?"

Xiao Jianjun pondered for a moment and said, "The Kunming ship can stop shelling and pay close attention to the situation on the surface of the Haihe River. Once the Japanese army crosses the river on the north bank, they will immediately notify the headquarters; the Xiangyang ship and the Huaihua ship continue to shell out at their current rate of fire, and the Marines and the Amphibious Armored Battalion will attack."

It turned out that Xiao Jianjun had a very clear calculation. It took at least two or three minutes to attack from the Marine Corps and Amphibious Armored Battalion to the outer defense line of the Japanese garrison. Therefore, the Xiangyang ship and Huaihua ship continued to shell the shelling to maintain the uninterrupted attack on the Japanese army and prevent the Japanese army from re-arranged.

At this time, the commander of the Marine Corps, Qiu Yahui, and Qin Yuhai, who were lurking in the position, were already a little anxious. After receiving the command from the headquarters, they immediately ordered the troops to attack. First, eleven Type 05 amphibious tanks were deployed in one shape, with each tank being about 150 meters apart, followed by eleven Type 05 amphibious assault tanks, about 50 meters apart and kept between the two tanks. Then the soldiers of the Marine Corps were divided into platoons and followed closely behind the tanks and assault tanks.

The entire queue spread horizontally for nearly two thousand meters, at first, lined up in a row, but during the advancement, the two wings gradually advanced forward, forming an arc shape, half-encircling the Japanese army's garrison.

About two or three minutes later, the assault troops had advanced about three thousand meters away from the Japanese garrison and had entered the range of artillery fire of tanks and assault tanks. So all the tanks and assault tanks opened fire one after another. For a moment, the cannons roared and the shells were densely packed like rain, and they attacked the Japanese garrison.

However, this momentum is not the Type 05 amphibious tank, but the Type 05 amphibious assault tank, because the assault tank is equipped with a 0mm caliber machine gun. Although the caliber is not large, it is better because the rate of fire is extremely fast, and the maximum rate of fire can reach 1,000 rounds per minute. Although each assault tank only uses the minimum rate of fire, it also reaches 00 rounds per minute. Such a shooting speed is naturally like rain. Moreover, tanks and assault tanks have night vision aiming devices, so the shooting accuracy can still be maintained.

Because it was in the dark, the Japanese army had no idea what weapons the enemy was using. They just felt that the enemy's firepower suddenly became dense, and they changed from large arc grenades to flat-fired Cannon shells. The explosion of the shells was also more powerful. Experienced soldiers understood that the enemy had replaced caliber mountain cannons or field cannons to conduct close-range shooting. Some Japanese soldiers could also see the flashing of fire from time to time in the distant darkness.

If the Japanese army had an organization at this time, even if they encountered close attacks from the enemy, they could still reorganize the battle. If they really couldn't do it, they would charge against the other party and conduct close-range hand-to-hand combat. However, they had been hit by heavy artillery before, and now the Japanese army at the station were completely in chaos. Many soldiers woke up in their sleep, and they didn't even have time to wear clothes. They ran out of the house bare-handedly, and could still fight there. The main general Fukushima Anmasato was completely unable to control the situation at this time. He hid behind a low wall and didn't know what to do.

In fact, the entire battle lasted less than ten minutes at this time. The tanks and assault tanks opened fire and advanced, and had already attacked to a place that was only more than 2,000 meters away from the Japanese garrison. This was also the limit distance set by the headquarters for the armored troops, because when moving forward, tanks and assault tanks might be exposed. Although the armored battalion was participating in the war for the first time, the battalion commander still kept a clear mind. When he saw that the distance was almost the same, he hurriedly notified the vehicles, stopped moving forward, and shot on the spot.
