Cross the Songhu battlefield and rise to become the most powerful warlord

798 submarine fleet suffered zero casualties

The thing that the Japanese least wanted to see finally happened.

In fact, just before that, they were attacked by an underwater submarine at sea.

These Japanese officers from the 107th Division realized that there might be an ambush on the shore.

Otherwise, they would not have sent out commandos as soon as they landed to expand their beachhead as much as possible.

But even so, the Japanese knew there might be an ambush on the shore.

They have no better choice.

These Japanese soldiers from the 107th Division faced the possibility of drowning at sea or being killed in the landing charge.

They chose the latter without hesitation.

In a landing operation, even if they encountered an ambush, at least they still had the ability to fight back.

There is no other choice but to stay at sea and wait to feed the fish.

"Onboard!"

The Japanese commandos at the front of the charge were roaring.

At this time, even though they had already entered the minefield, there were a large number of Kuomintang soldiers in front of them, setting up firepower points.

Dense bullets were fired towards them.

But at this moment, they still had ferocious expressions and charged forward with roars.

Before they set off, they received a death order from a Japanese officer.

Their mission was to occupy the beachhead and gain survival space for their subsequent landing troops.

At this moment, these Japanese devils had no choice but to charge.

Teams of Japanese soldiers charged forward with Type 38 rifles in hand, shouting.

Boom boom boom!

There were constant sounds of explosions all around, and with each explosion several Japanese soldiers would be blown away.

It took a whole regiment of the New 2nd Division a day and a night to deploy in this minefield.

The area is several miles long, just to block the charge of the Japanese soldiers.

"Open fire, and hit hard."

At a position, a company commander of the New 2nd Division shouted loudly to the soldiers around him.

Browning heavy machine guns were roaring madly all around.

Most of the other soldiers were not holding rifles, but submachine guns.

The bullets were so dense that it was frightening.

The mortars behind continued to fire shells at the Japanese.

"Bullets, no more bullets."

A machine gunner yelled.

Soon, two soldiers came running over with boxes of machine gun ammunition to supply bullets.

Da da da!

Then, the roar of the heavy machine gun sounded again.

"Barrel, change the barrel."

The machine gunner was firing like crazy, and soon the barrel of his gun turned red.

At this time, only by replacing the barrel immediately can the shooting continue.

Fortunately, this time they were well prepared, and the assistant machine gunner next to them immediately replaced the barrel.

The heavy machine gun was silenced for only half a minute before it started firing again.

“Damn, there are so many devils.

Fortunately, we increased our firepower, otherwise they would have really rushed over."

The company commander who was defending this area annihilated the second wave of Japanese troops that charged over.

He also said with a look of fear.

The Japs' frenzied charge, regardless of casualties, put enormous pressure on their defense line.

After all, the area they were defending was not small.

Even though the Japanese only rushed over in two waves, their number was only two or three hundred people.

However, in order to ensure the annihilation of these two or three hundred Japanese devils, they must ensure a sufficient density of firepower.

There was no other way. This time, only one regiment of the New 2nd Division came to defend this sea area.

There are less than three thousand people.

However, the number of Japanese soldiers who landed on the shore was as many as eight or nine thousand.

The gap in numbers between the two sides is too great.

If it weren’t for this regiment, they would have set up the minefield in advance and strengthened their regiment’s firepower.

We really can't stop these Japanese invaders from landing.

At this moment, in the regiment headquarters, the regiment commander looked at the defense lines and sighed:

"Fortunately, the commander had made preparations and asked the logistics department to send us enough ammunition.

Otherwise, we would have to face these crazy devils in this battle.

How can we defend it with just one regiment?"

This time, their one regiment carried more ammunition than usual, that of two regiments.

There was no way. The main forces of the New 23nd Division and the New rd Division were besieging the main force of the Japanese rd Army in Yangcheng.

There aren't many troops that can be deployed to the coastal areas for defense.

If they transferred more troops here, it would be very likely that the Japanese 23rd Army would escape from Yangcheng.

In the end, they could only send one regiment with more ammunition to carry out this ambush operation.

In fact, the New Third Division also sent a regiment to organize an ambush.

However, the ambush area of ​​the ambush regiment of the New Third Division was not on this coast.

But it is at another beach more than 30 kilometers away.

Because at that time, Sun Jiaming was not sure from which direction the Japanese fleet would come.

To be on the safe side, he chose two sea areas where the Japanese fleet was most likely to be found and which were suitable for submarine operations.

Reported to Ye Qingshan.

Ye Qingshan gave instructions to the New Second Division and the New Third Division respectively.

Let them each send a troop to deploy on the coast near these two sea areas and eliminate the remaining Japanese invaders who may escape ashore.

Ye Qingshan also didn't know about Sun Jiaming's submarine fleet.

While annihilating an enemy aircraft carrier fleet, we were also able to defeat the enemy's accompanying army troops.

Also destroyed together.

That is simply unrealistic, and submarine fleets are not omnipotent.

It is still the responsibility of their army to eliminate the remaining Japanese invaders who have escaped ashore.

Boom boom boom!

At this moment, fierce gunfire sounds could be heard one after another on the long coastal beach.

The alarm sounded for more than half an hour, but the landing Japanese troops still failed to break through the Nationalist defense line that was blocking them.

The price paid was extremely heavy in casualties.

The Japanese had a large number of people but weak firepower, so they could only launch wave after wave of death charges in an effort to break through the blocking line as soon as possible.

This way, they at least have a chance to survive.

Although the regiment of the New 2nd Division that blocked them was small in number, they relied on the blocking positions set up in advance.

And the fierce firepower network blocked the Japanese.

No matter how many times the Japanese launched attack after attack, they were unable to break through their defense line.

"Commander, the Japanese have gone completely crazy, they don't care about their lives anymore.

In my machine gun company, we have replaced dozens of heavy machine gun barrels in the past half hour.

Captain, when will our reinforcements arrive?"

A battalion commander who was commanding operations at the front line shouted loudly into the walkie-talkie.

“The reinforcements are coming, and they will naturally support you.

You kid, stop complaining to me.

You must hold your position firmly. Your position is the lowest point in our regiment's defense line.

The Japs must have discovered this.

Next, more and more Japanese will attack your positions.

But no matter how many Japanese come, you have to defend this place for me.

I'll have the mortar company provide you with support every fifteen minutes.

By the way, be careful of the Japanese tanks.

The third battalion reported that they found Japanese tanks rushing out of the large ships stranded on the beach.

Once you find the enemy tanks, blow them up immediately at any cost."

An angry voice came from the walkie-talkie.

"Yes, Commander.

Our battalion will hold its ground."

The fierce offensive and defensive battle on the shore is still going on.

The reckless attack launched by eight or nine thousand crazy devils was truly terrifying.

Fortunately, these Japanese soldiers who landed threw away a lot of heavy equipment they brought with them.

Otherwise, if it weren't for the four submarines including U6 that sank the Japanese large transport ships.

All the Japanese tanks, artillery and other heavy equipment on board sank to the bottom of the sea.

This meant that the eight or nine thousand Japanese soldiers who had landed at that moment lost their heavy firepower support.

Otherwise, the landing Japanese troops could still break through the ambush of about 2,000 people in the New 2nd Division's regiment.

Even if this regiment more than doubled its firepower, it was still not enough.

Right on land, when the artillery fire was raging.

The battle on the sea was finally over at around two o'clock in the afternoon.

At this time, most of the Japanese battleship Musashi had sunk.

Only the stern and bow of the ship could be seen, still above the sea.

The situation on the Japanese aircraft carrier Soryu is basically not much different.

In this naval battle, the Japanese super battleship and 10,000-ton aircraft carrier were basically treated as sitting ducks.

After being ambushed by Sun Jiaming and his ghost submarine fleet.

There was almost no resistance throughout the entire process and it was quickly sunk.

On the contrary, the Japanese's other six escort warships came in the next two or three hours.

In this sea area, there was also a fight with Sun Jiaming and his ghost submarine.

In the end, two of the six Japanese escort submarines were sunk and two were damaged.

By this time, all the nine ghost submarines brought by Sun Jiaming had used up all their torpedoes.

There is none left.

In this case, the conditions for their submarine fleet to withdraw were also met.

Then they began to evacuate the sea area.

There is no point in continuing to engage in a fight with the remaining four Japanese warships.

Until their submarine retreated more than ten kilometers to the designated sea area.

They slowly surfaced, and Sun Jiaming began to nervously check the other returning submarines.

"U2 is back!"

"U5 is back!"

"U7 is back!"

……

Following behind, the other ghost submarines returned one after another.

A smile gradually appeared on Sun Jiaming's face. All nine ghost submarines finally returned.

None of them were damaged.

"Haha, great, we're all back."

Sun Jiaming smiled happily.

This time, only four of their nine ghost submarines suffered some degree of damage.

It was all due to carelessness. They were hit by the depth charges dropped crazily by the Japanese.

Fortunately, no submarine was sunk.

Sun Jiaming was very satisfied with this result.

With almost zero casualties, they destroyed the Japanese's 10,000-ton main aircraft carrier, a super battleship, and two escort warships.

If outsiders knew about this kind of record, they would probably be scared to death.

"Quick, report this news to the commander-in-chief.

This was the first battle of our submarine formation, and we achieved such a brilliant result.

The commander-in-chief will certainly be very happy if he knows this."

Sun Jiaming couldn't wait to speak to his subordinates.

The truth is, their submarine fleet wants to prove itself too much.
