Chapter 271 Occupying Kaohsiung
Chapter 271 Occupy Kaohsiung
The Flying Fish-1 anti-ship missile directly hit the bridge, and the "Snow Walk" light cruiser with a displacement of up to 7,900 tons was directly trapped in the abyss of destruction.
The smoke rolled on the deck, and the surviving people were no better than the dead. The lungs were invaded by charred smoke, as painful as being cut by a blunt knife, with moans and howlings endlessly.
The bridge is the brain of a warship, a place to control the ship and command operations. It is usually set in the navigation, combat command and control parts in the superstructure of the ship. It is generally located at the front end of the top of the bridge, including the command room, the cab, the open-air command post, etc.
Such an important place was hit directly by a sudden blow, and the result was self-evident. Without Shangguan's command, the people who were still alive on the ship could no longer control their own destiny. The ups and downs indicate an irrespectable future.
Just last moment, they could still slaughter the butchers of the rebels by themselves, but now they have become fish on other people's chopping boards.
The four-shot Flying Fish-1 laser semi-active guided missiles hit all of them in the first round of attacks, showing the world their unparalleled destructive power. It also subverts some people's traditional naval combat awareness, no longer requires a lot of time and shells, and uses character to determine the hit rate of the naval gun.
Eight warships from the old era became the first batch of sacrifices for the new era's military weapons, setting the achievements of the winner. Twenty missiles were fired in a row, and only three failed to hit the target due to the failure of electronic instruments. Compared with the three to five percent shooting hit rate of elite naval gunners.
This is the power of technology. Technology itself can bring an insurmountable gap in military terms. It is an irreversible gap between courage and morale. I missed two waves of industrial standards. Hualian is filling the technological gap for centuries with its high-tech quality advantages.
"Captain, mission completed"
Lying on the underwater thruster, the members of the special forces were excited. Just today, they witnessed unprecedented history. The regime behind them already had powerful weapons that could deal with the navy of the great powers. This is the dawn that the nation raised again after hundreds of years of weakness.
"Ceep the team and organize the equipment, we will take a detour and return."
On his handsome face, the look of being careless in the past was gone, and Zhou Zhihao's heart was filled with excitement and excitement. It seemed that the eight large steel ships burning on the sea were bonfires to wish for victory. Japan, which surpassed China after the Sino-Japanese War, became so weak for the first time.
“How much electricity is left in the thruster?”
"It's enough for the return trip, please don't worry, do you need to observe it closely?" The team member in charge of technical statistics looked excited, and his words were filled with earnest thoughts.
"Go back now, don't delay"
Looking at the same expression from the others, Zhou Zhihao naturally knew what they thought, but as the captain, he would not be so rash. Instead of being affected by the possible hull explosion, it would be better to return to the camp immediately. Anyway, according to the current situation, even if these Japanese sailors do not die, they will not be able to live well.
Not far away, the sea was covered with oil, floating chores and light hull fragments, and people who kept waving their hands to call for help after falling into the water. Fortunately, this place is not far from the coast, and people with good water quality can still swim back.
However, it is difficult for soldiers or officers who are seriously injured and exhausted to escape from danger. Even if there are some lifeboats available, the survivors are likely to not even have one-fifth of the total number.
In Kaohsiung City, the defenders who fought desperately did not know what was happening on the sea. From their fighting spirit, they still had a sense of fighting spirit that there was still a glimmer of hope in their hearts.
This mood did not last long. The artillery fire from the sea had stopped for too long, and the command could not contact the fleet. Even if he was unwilling to believe it, he knew that his navy was over. This cruel fact was concealed by the army generals in the chaotic war.
However, the collapse of the period was unavoidable. Without heavy artillery, the defenders in the city could not resist the powerful offensive of the autonomous front. Faced with the fierce and abnormal attack, Feng Zhixi saw that the battle situation was settled, so he personally led the troops to charge against the enemy, instantly tearing apart the Japanese army's already incomplete formation.
In just less than ten minutes, the dense artillery fire covered a large number of soldiers in a pool of blood. The deafening guns and cannons roared over any other sound. Dragging and screaming bullets kept flying out of the hot barrel of the Czech light machine gun, interlacing in mid-air, hitting the metal fiercely, making a "ding-ding-dinking" sound.
The scorching metal flow tear the human body, and the hard warhead flew into the flesh, rolled and exploded, and the metal fragments exploded in the warhead to pieces, tearing the soft muscle tissue to pieces. It was like a piece of hot and sharp steel teeth, cruelly cutting the ligaments, cutting off blood vessels, and then flying out with large pieces of flesh or internal organs.
Such a tragic killing sprinkled large pieces of blood on the dry ground, leaving behind a group of people falling to the ground, rolling back and forth between the dust, curling their bodies and howling desperately. They were the dying dying person.
There was no suspense in the battle. As the last Japanese soldier died in battle, the remaining troops in Kaohsiung garrison completely lost their fighting spirit. The soldiers crowded behind various simple fortifications slowly walked out, and silently looked at the chariots and figures gradually approaching from the top of the basin with a dull look, and threw down the weapons in their hands with a tired look.
These people are auxiliary policemen, and they belong to the servants recruited by the governor of Taiwan in the local area. The fighting will is really not worth mentioning. On the contrary, the Japanese defenders' resoluteness and death battle left a deep impression on Feng Zhixi and Zhou Feihuo. It was a nation of pride and unyielding. Even though they were beating like a beast, they were still shocked by this courage to die.
A country and nation in an upward period must have a large number of such brave and fierce dead men. That is the pride of the strong, and they will never surrender or surrender to the weak.
The work of raiding and confiscating equipment continued until the evening, and a total of nearly two thousand prisoners of war were captured. These people were haggard, scarred and exhausted, and had no intention of resisting.
The losses of the autonomous army were not light. Except for a thousand people who died on the spot, the rest were injured to varying degrees. They had the advantage and had a surprise attack, and they had to pay this level of price. The strength of the Japanese army made Feng Zhixi feel heartbroken. But what the autonomous front faced was only the second-rate Japanese army, not the elite division directly under the headquarters.
Riding on the war horse, he and Zhou Feihuo stayed on the high slope together. There were sporadic resistance in the city, but he had no intention of going into the city to take risks. If someone was fired, it would be a tragedy.
"Mr. Zhou, can you let me see the missile you are using?" From Zhou Feihuo's mouth, Feng Zhixi roughly learned about the mysterious weapon of missiles. In the face of huge battle results, he is now full of enthusiasm. He does not hide his infinite desire for this new weapon and equipment.
"Commander Feng, the price of flying fish is not cheap. And according to regulations, after use, we will also disassemble and take away some instruments."
Suppressing the ecstasy mood, Zhou Feihuo maintained a calm expression on his face, as if such a battle result was just a trivial matter. His smile was also a bit playful. Feng Zhixi was not necessarily sinister and cunning, but after becoming the commander-in-chief of the autonomous army, he seemed to have the intention of wanting to be independent.
This is definitely not allowed by the underground palace. If you contribute money and effort to cultivate you, it is not to let you be the king of the mountain. Zhong Yang needs an obedient wolf dog, not a lonely wolf who is unwilling to surrender.
Both sides have their own thoughts on this point, and no one will point it out. It is just a thing that uses means and strength, and it is useless to use conspiracies.
The technical engineers who came with Zhou Feihuo were dismantling and recycling the electronic components on the missile landing gear. There are many of these instruments that are beyond the technical level and must not fall into the hands of the great powers.
Even in many places inside these high-performance instruments, small self-destruct devices are installed. Although they cannot kill people, the high temperature and high pressure are enough to turn these precision-structured equipment into irrecognizable garbage.
Riding on a war horse, Feng Zhixi entered Kaohsiung City surrounded by his personal guards. All important places have been carefully searched, and the security work can indeed make people feel at ease.
"We want to take revenge in order to reward the soldiers of the army, and the city will be washed for three days."
"Long live"
After hearing the commander of the Autonomous Army, the soldiers and officers shouted long live the mountain, and the roars rushed to the sky. After the fierce battle, the hearts of the people who were suppressed by the military orders just needed such catharsis.
The so-called city baptism is actually a massacre and looting. Soldiers can do evil without being bound by military discipline and do unscrupulously. Releasing the beasts hidden in their hearts is indeed an effective means to ensure the high morale of the army. The Soviet Union and Japan are particularly good at this work.
In fact, long before Feng Zhixi ordered, there were officers leading the troops to the wealthier Japanese commercial area next to the port. The locals actually had nothing to grab, not to mention that they were all familiar with each other, and some soldiers were even born as local fishermen in Kaohsiung.
In fact, not many local people were persecuted, and more people were just out of natural dissatisfaction with the gap between the rich and the poor. Looking at the Japanese businessmen, civilians, and poor and outdated islanders who enjoy a wealthy life, they already had great hatred. There was no need to incite them. They only had a reasonable excuse to wave the butcher knife in their hands.
Even if there is no excuse, it will not affect their behavior of washing the city, and there will always be some reasons for looking for it.
The entire Kaohsiung City once divided the city into three areas for easy management. Most of the residents close to the port and the city were Japanese, and there were a few pro-Japanese elements and traders, while the poor lived in the eastern suburbs.
But I didn't expect that such divisions provided a good goal for the autonomous army to wash the city. As long as you live there, no matter whether you are a Japanese or not, you will kill people and take money equally.
The entire bustling harbor was now in the sky under the night, with screams and begging for mercy everywhere, and the perpetrators laughing. This was the feast of the slaughterers. The Japanese, who were once high and above, were struggling with the hatred they had accumulated.
Some local people, in this extremely chaotic situation, began to burst out greed and fanaticism, overshadowed their fear of the Japanese. They did not have any foresight. Compared with depression and hardship, these people are the people who most desire a better life.
Even if this kind of beauty is needed, it needs other people's blood to water it.
In the west of the rich city, there are beautiful and charming women, valuable wealth, and delicious food that you never have the chance to try in your life. Such temptation is really hard to resist for the poor with nothing.
The chaos continued to expand, and rioters continued to join the team on the autonomous front and joined the crazy city washing ranks. The excited shouts mixed with the screams of the victims. Even some Japanese doctors who treat others gently on weekdays were torn apart by the "people" they had helped.
How can anyone remember the insignificant kindness of the past in such a carnival? The so-called people are such people, ignorance, poverty and fanaticism. Compared with morality and conscience, interests can make people most moved.
They are greedy for life and fear death, but they can sacrifice their lives for a little immediate benefit. They are numb, but they can raise their butcher knife for a small reason.
There is no need to beautify or slander. The lower class people have always lived in this state of existence.
After a day of fierce battle, outside Kaohsiung City has now become a wilderness of wildfires, with bullet craters everywhere, covered with exhausted shells, blood-stained bandages, burning wreckage and unrecognizable corpses. Under the cover of the slowly descending night, the smoke and flames slowly disappeared from people's sight, leaving only the lingering air, with the scent of blood and gunpowder that was so heavy that it was suffocating.
Unlike the riots and turmoil in the city, the coastline seems quiet and deep, and the dim night covers all the traces. Even if it is close, no one will find dozens of vague figures on the reef and beach.
Under the moonlight, these shadows kept shaking in the darkness, and the formation was obviously scattered, and no one dared to talk loudly. There were only a few serene words in the air.
"How is Chi Ming's injury?" The person who spoke was the original Kaohsiung garrison, Kurokawa Yuki. This heroic and courageous man survived. Even the life-long Chi Ming's Ichizaki was taken on a lifeboat by his subordinates and successfully docked so that he would not be buried in the sea.
"The trauma is not serious, but the lungs and skull cavity were damaged by the explosion. There may be internal bleeding and I am still in a coma."
A surviving military doctor led the team to break out with Kurokawa, and happened to meet Chi Ming and his group along the way. It has to be said that this was a coincidence. On such a dim and dim night, both sides could meet. They had to work together and lurk until reinforcements arrived.
"Sir, what should we do now?" After finding a cave, dozens of people settled down a little. Some soldiers began to look at Kurokawa. As the highest-level officer present, he was the backbone of everyone.
Neither the navy nor the army soldiers, at this time, they had no intention of thinking about the unpleasantness of the past.
In the dim environment, the bonfire swayed in the sea breeze, and the shaking firelight made people's eyes confused. Looking at the ups and downs on everyone's faces, Kurokawa had to pretend to be calm: "Don't worry, you are all loyal and brave soldiers of the Empire. Reinforcements will arrive in three days. Before again, we must live well."
Such encouragement did not restore the soldiers' fighting spirit. On the contrary, when Kurokawa said the word "loyalty and courage", the dull expression on the soldiers' faces became even stronger. The Japanese military advocated a kind of aura that would rather be broken. Those who live in vain would be discriminated against and excluded, and would never be able to raise their heads to be a human being in the future.
This kind of spiritual pressure is where their real fear lies. It is even more unacceptable to humiliation than death.
Seeing this, Kurokawa also knew that these defeated soldiers who had lost their energy must be encouraged, otherwise it would be difficult to hold on until reinforcements arrived. He forced himself to stand up and said in a firm tone: "I will report your achievements to the Army Headquarters truthfully. This battle is not the crime of all the kings. I am willing to take responsibility for failure. But now, we must survive and repay everything we see to the top leaders."
Kurokawa, who was born in a military family, was a strong man and had a responsibility. He knew that he could not escape the blame for this battle, so he was better off admitting it and gaining a reputation for being open. Compared with post-war punishment, reporting the most real situation is the most important.
The armed forces on the autonomous front have far exceeded the previous estimates. This is a rebellious force that is enough to shake the foundation of the empire's rule in Taiwan.
Kurokawa knew that it was necessary to accumulate strength and suppress the turmoil with the momentum of a lion fighting against a rabbit, otherwise it would have an extremely bad negative impact on the subsequent rule. Rebellion has always been afraid of delays. Once hesitated, imitators will rush to appear first and form a spy of sparks.
As long as one-third of the 2.8 million people participate in the rebellion against Japan, it means that the empire needs to spend countless resources to suppress it.
What worried Kurokawa the most was the unknown source of arms on the autonomous front, which was able to break through the Japanese army's blockade and hand over the arms to the rebels. This was not an ordinary force.
"Kurogawa Nakasa is right" A weak sound sounded in the dim cave, mixed with coughing and weakness. It turned out that it was Ikeaki.
He was seriously injured and woke up slowly in the discussion just now. After hearing what Kurokawa Yutsuyuki said, he stood up with the help of others, and sat in front of Kurokawa Yutsuji regardless of his injuries.
His face was bloodless, and his body was a little weak after a lot of blood loss. He was still coughing from time to time. Chi Ming's body had begun to feel discomfort. It should be caused by the high pressure caused by the explosion, which caused blood stasis inside the body. In the environment in front of him, the accompanying military doctor was helpless.
The two down-and-out officers looked at each other here. The only thing that is thankful is that they finally truly abandoned their past grudges and began to explore the strategy of cooperation to survive...
