Chapter 354: 24 Hours (14)
On the mighty river, three Japanese gunboats flying the flag of the rising sun were spewing black smoke and rushing upstream. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Because it did not gain much benefit from this war, the Japanese navy was not at all enthusiastic about investing in the war. After defeating the main force of the defending navy at the fortress of Jiangyin, the Japanese navy temporarily stopped its own advance.
The Japanese Navy's upward report was due to the fact that the defending navy was completely sunken and blocked the route, so the fleet was temporarily unable to advance. In reality, however, there was a reason for this, but it was ultimately due to the fierce competition between the Japanese army and navy. The benefits are all taken by the army, how can the navy go to help?
In this world, because of this internal struggle, the Japanese navy escaped a chance to be promised a heavy loss.
Of course, the Japanese Navy could not afford not to save face for the Army, so they sent three gunboats with a shallow draft to cross the shipwreck blockade line and travel up the river to provide support to the Army.
It's just that when the three small boats were about to arrive on the river near Jinling because of the black smoke caused by the burning of inferior heavy oil, they were discovered by a promise in the sky.
This luck is really unlucky.
The river breeze was cool, driving the flags hoisted high on the gunboats to hunt. They are rampant in this country, and they have long lost their awe in their hearts.
Groups of Japanese soldiers leisurely chatted and wandered around the ship, enjoying a good time. Since the total destruction of the defending naval fleet, they have no rivals in this winding river, and they naturally relaxed. They gathered in twos and threes to discuss what they could gain from the war.
The sentries at the lookout post were also absent-minded, biting cigarettes and bragging, and there was a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere. Until one of the sharp-eyed sentries saw a golden and red figure suddenly rush out from under the white clouds, rushing straight towards their gunboat like a meteor. The terrible and piercing siren sounded on the surface of the river.
"Boom!" Promise did not use shoulder guns to destroy these gunboats, but used the energy jets in the palms of both hands to adjust and spray extremely hot high-temperature energy directly through the deck and layers of cabins on the gunboat, until one of them broke through the bilge of the gunboat and rushed into the surging river!
These small gunboats have a displacement of only a few hundred tons, and their firepower is good, but their armor is a mess. Or rather, there is absolutely no armor at all. Ordinary marine steel is of no use at all under the promised impact, and it is directly smashed through.
Promise rushed into the river, but the big hole in the bilge that he knocked out became a fatal gap, and the raging water poured in, and it would not be long before the boat could be dragged to the bottom.
Dense gunfire rang out. As he soared into the sky from the river, all the guns on the three ships were firing heavily at him. In the rain of bullets, the sky seemed to be raining fireworks.
It's just that there is no fire control radar locking technology in this era, and although the Japanese army has launched a dense barrage, it has no impact on the promise. Because he was so fast, no one could hit him.
"Boom!" The promise of flying into the sky repeated the previous action, and again and again knocked all three Japanese gunboats through the bilge. The reason why Xu promised to do this was simple, he just wanted to see the fate of these unlucky ghosts who were drowned alive and alive.
"Boom!" On the rapidly sinking Japanese gunboat, those Japanese officers and soldiers did not give up resistance. They were still shooting wildly at Promise, and in such a dense rain of bullets, there was still a shell on Promise's body.
It's not that the white queen didn't give the order to dodge in time, but he promised to try to see if this armor could still be as strong as resisting bullets in the face of large-caliber weapons. Then, he chose a cannonball and hit it. Then, it was directly blown up by the huge impact and fell into the surging river.
"Hooray!" Seeing that the promise was blown up and fell into the river, cheers suddenly rang out on several Japanese gunboats that were about to capsize and sink.
Then, the lucky ones on deck jumped into the river and prepared to swim to the shore. As for those trapped below deck, there's really no way around it. After all, the ship sank too fast, and there was no possibility of rescue.
"There's a water monster!" When dozens of Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough to jump into the river to escape were desperately swimming towards the river, suddenly a Japanese soldier howled bitterly, and then the whole person suddenly bubbled and sank into the river, and there was no sound.
The Japanese soldiers who were swimming in the water around them were suddenly frightened, and they were afraid that there was really some water monster or simply a big fish attacking them. You must know that although this place is not as desperate as the vast sea, there will definitely be big fish in this big river. Not to mention anything else, the famous Yangtze crocodile is famous.
The frightened Japanese army desperately swam towards the river two or three hundred meters away, and this was not a short journey, but at this time it became a deadly moat!
"Help!"
"Ahh
"Gollum~~~"
In a series of panicked shouts, one after another, the Japanese soldiers disappeared into the river in this foreign land, braving the water bubbles. The people who were still alive were about to be frightened crazy, and they only hated that their parents had lost two legs, and they desperately slashed towards the riverside dogs.
The distance of more than 200 meters from the location of the wreck to the riverside became a road of death. The desperate Japanese soldiers watched one after another as they suddenly sank into the river, leaving only bubbles, and feared that they would follow them next. Anyone with a heart attack can be directly scared to death.
When a Japanese soldier finally made his way up to the riverbank, he was the only one left with dozens of survivors dead.
"Boom!" Before the Japanese soldier, who didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky, spit out the swollen river water in his stomach, the wet promise on his body had already rushed out of the river and landed beside him.
Without waiting for this unlucky Japanese soldier to make any moves or shout any nonsense, he promised to directly reach out and pinch his neck, and twist his neck directly with a twist!
He casually took the corpse in his hand into the river, and looked through the visor again at the place where the three gunboats had completely lost their shadows. Promise tilted his neck, and then he rose into the sky and flew in the direction of the city.
I have to say that it's good to be able to fly.
When promised to jerk off at the airport and smash gunboats on the river. The more than 200,000 Japanese troops inside and outside the city were not idle. Dense telegraph exchanges covered almost the entire sky. The various ministries were desperately exchanging information, and then almost all the troops knew the information that the royal commander's whereabouts were unknown.
On the battlefield of fierce fighting, the whereabouts unknown is almost synonymous with the death of the dead to the point of no bones. Ordinary people forget it, after all, whether it is a soldier or a general, as long as they go to the battlefield, they pin their heads to their belts, and whoever dies may die.
However, that one is a mythical royal family. If he was really dead, he would be the kind without a body. Almost none of the army commanders in the vicinity escaped punishment. The drama of disembowelment and apology must be staged every minute.
In this case, the Japanese troops who confirmed the information around them were all crazy and rushed towards the place where the previous imperial commander had fallen.
Even if you die, you must see people alive and corpses when you die!
By this time, most of the defenders who had followed the promise to run back from the river had already entered the city and gathered with the defeated soldiers, and were preparing to find a way to escape out of the city. When a large number of Japanese troops arrived, they just blocked some of the defenders who had not had time to leave. Fierce fighting broke out immediately.
By the time the promise fell from the sky, there were only more than 100 defenders left on the scene who gathered together to resist desperately. These defenders have no intention of surrendering, and for them at this time, it is completely a matter of killing one more to earn one more. Before, when there was no way to enter the sky and no door by the river, they had already died once!
After the promise to smash directly on the ground appeared, the situation on the battlefield was immediately reversed. This Japanese army, which was only at the level of a brigade, was the first to come because of its proximity. It's just that I didn't expect to meet such a monster-level existence.
After promising to grab tanks, artillery, equipment, vehicles, and other things, and wave them around, smashing many Japanese soldiers into blood gourds, this Japanese army quickly collapsed.
"Tell me, what are you going to do when you're desperately rushing here?" When he was flying in the sky before, he had already seen the dense Japanese troops that made people's scalps tingle and surged towards this side like a swarm of locusts. He was very curious about what the Japanese army was doing here instead of attacking Jinling City at this time? Therefore, after defeating this unit, several Japanese officers were captured as prisoners and asked for information.
"Bastard!" The Japanese officer, whose legs had been broken by the promise, gritted his teeth and spat at the promise.
"Poof!" He had already put away the promise of the Iron Man armor and directly waved a katana with very good workmanship with one hand. The cold light flashed, and this brave Japanese officer was already splattered with blood!
"You, say." Xu Promise shook off the blood-dripping blade in his hand, stepped over to another Japanese officer, and stuck the blade in his neck.
"Phew!"
"Poof!"
"It's your turn!"
After slashing four lieutenants in a row, the last frightened Japanese lieutenant finally told them what they wanted to do, and came to find out if the imperial commander was dead. If you are really unfortunate enough to die in battle, you must also snatch the body back.
You must know that it is a mythical royal family, if even the corpse capital is taken away by the enemy after being killed in battle, it will be a devastating blow to the morale of the entire army.
"Royalty?" Killed the Japanese lieutenant with a knife. looked at the battlefield full of corpses with a puzzled face, and finally fixed his eyes on the pile of corpses piled up by many officers! (To be continued.) )
