Young Master's New Biography of Anti-Japanese

Chapter 4 Chapter 10 Songhu Battlefield NEW

Due to the lessons learned by the 1st Fleet, the 3rd Fleet was moored in the sea near Yancang, unable to provide artillery support for the besieging Japanese army.

After the tentative attack was repulsed, the Japanese army prepared to use powerful sea and air firepower to turn in from the river.

Since the Japanese army wanted to approach and launch a large-scale attack, the navy had to enter the original Gaoqiao on the outskirts of Shanghai from the Yangtze River estuary or approach the front line to attack.

The dense mines on the river mouth made it impossible for the Japanese 3rd Fleet to approach, and it was impossible to provide any fire support for coastal defense.

The Japanese army had no choice but to seize the time to clear mines, and its four submarines also stepped up inspections of the waters surrounding the fleet.But a submarine without radar technology is tantamount to being blind.

The Jiaolong team, which was unable to attack automatically, left four "submarines" in the grass on the banks of Jiangkou, Gaoqiao, and Yancang to guard day and night, waiting for an opportunity to launch an attack.

During the day, the Japanese army cleared mines, and at night, the Jiaolong team laid mines. The progress of the Japanese army's mine clearance was slow.Because Young Master Gao adopted a layered method in the mines, he set up some kneeling mines in a false and real way. From time to time, amidst the sound of explosions, the little devil had to board a small boat and some little devils.

On the evening of the 4th, after several trials and seeing the low combat effectiveness of the Japanese submarines at night, the Jiaolong team made another move. Four "submarines" quietly approached the 4rd Fleet at 5 am on the 4th.

At night, several Japanese ships guarding the periphery scan the surrounding area with searchlights from time to time, searching for suspicious targets on the sea.

When the "submarine" of the Jiaolong team is running at low speed, it will not roll up any suspicious waves. Just a little bit of the periscope is exposed to the water. Everything is so normal on the wavy sea, and the dark night covers everything.

After entering the inner circle of the fleet, it is safer.Observe through the periscope, and carefully advance from the cracks of the Japanese ship to the locked target.

The 3 aircraft carriers and 1 cruiser are all in the middle of the fleet.The huge dark area under the tall ship once again hid the members of the Jiaolong team.The teams quickly placed the explosive packs and withdrew on time at 4:46.

After withdrawing from the Japanese fleet about 300 meters away, the teams accelerated their advance.

In order not to cause too much spray, the "submarines" of the Jiaolong team could only sail at a low speed, which was too slow. 20 minutes later, when the Japanese ship exploded, the teams had just withdrawn to a place about 800 meters away from the Japanese ship fleet.The team members who were bored underwater heard the loud explosions.Yoshisaburo Nomura, commander of the 3rd Fleet, was also killed in the attack.

Taking advantage of the chaos on the Japanese ship, the team members accelerated their retreat, and the teams retreated safely again.

The Japanese 3rd Fleet lost 4 capital ships, injured 6 medium and small warships and more than 500 aircraft.

Due to the inability to provide fire support, the Japanese army's various attacks progressed slowly in the next few days, which made Nomura and others anxious.

A few days later, on February 2, the 8nd Detachment of the 3rd Fleet of the Japanese Army, led by Commander Mikichi Takahashi (Lieutenant General), came to support the war in China.

Miyoshi Takahashi will take over the command from Yoshizaburo Nomura.

Accompanying them were seaplane carriers Mizuho and Chitose, heavy cruiser Yaeyama, destroyers Satsuki, Minazuki, Fumizuki, Nagatsuki and about 27 other warships.

On February 2, about 9 carrier-based aircraft of the 2nd Detachment carried out a frenzied retaliatory bombing of the Jiangyin base of the national army.At the same time, mine clearance in the Jiangkou area was accelerated.

After clearing the waterway, the Japanese army prepared to move west along the river and change the attack point. The Kurume Brigade and the Marine Corps attacked Wusong in mid-February, and the 2th Division attacked Jiangwan in an attempt to break through from the right flank of the defenders.

2月10日(比历史上迟了3日),沿长江口西进的日军第3舰队派出了其中的24艘中、小型舰艇抵近了高桥一带。

These warships are in the river mouth during the day and withdraw to the sea at night.

它们提供的强火力也已经让19路军防守各部感受到了不小的压力。日军常设第9师团(24000人)各部的强悍战斗力远不是海军陆战队所能比得上的。一天下来,尽管19军动用了“霸王花”这种杀人利器,尽管让小鬼子损失了3000多人,可19军各部队的伤亡人数仍创下了战事发生以来的最高记录:伤亡约900多人。

On February 2, 12 warships of the 3rd Fleet cautiously arrived at the downstream river near Wusongkou under the guidance of several mine-clearing boats at around 19 am.

The 1st Regiment of the Independent Brigade and the Artillery Regiment have long been ready.

On the basis of the three main guns of the former Wusong Fortress, the officers and soldiers of the 3st Artillery Battalion built new forts in several other places, and installed 1 large-caliber long-range main guns.

The range of the artillery shells developed by "Gao Jiajun" has far exceeded the limit range of 7-9km of similar shells at that time, reaching an astonishing limit range of 12-14km, which can almost match the large-caliber main guns on medium-sized main ships of the Japanese army. Higher.

Young Master Gao, who had been prepared long ago, prepared sufficient shells.

The Japanese warships advanced slowly. According to the information sent by their intelligence department, the longest effective range of the main guns of the Wusong Fortress was about 6 or 7 kilometers.

The Japanese warship stopped about 9 kilometers away from the fortress of Wusong Fortress. The 12 main attack ships were laid out in a straight line and opened their attack posture. The 7 troop carriers were preparing to put down the landing craft. After the end, the shore landing began.

Seeing the little devil's warship set up as a target in front, the nine large-caliber long-range main guns that had already been adjusted to shoot Zhu Yuan locked the target and fired first.

"Boom, boom, boom," in the first salvo, seven shells hit the target.The strong explosion immediately caused a sea of ​​flames on the little devil's warship. The little devils were blown to pieces, and several main and secondary guns on the ship were also destroyed.
