"Haha, the shells of the Chinese army must be counterfeit and shoddy products, and nearly 100,000 shells only caused thousands of casualties to our Imperial Japanese Army!" King Hatohiko of Asaka Palace had a happy face, Amaterasu blessed, a similar situation occurred in the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle decades ago, and it is not surprising that it appears again.

In fact, there are two reasons here, one is that the devil's anti-artillery holes are either built along the mountain, or modified by the original party-state defense line, or directly dug into the ground, dug deep enough, and reinforced with boulders, cement, etc., and suffered the loss of Lin Feng's heavy artillery shelling in the past few months, and now the digging fortifications are very desperate.

The other is that Lin Feng did not use armor-piercing shells at all, although the high-explosive bombs were powerful in shock waves, their armor-piercing ability was not strong, and the ground was cut a layer and failed to kill and injure many Japanese soldiers hiding in the fortifications, and thousands of dead and wounded devils were also killed by artillery fire.

In Changzhou, Lin Feng was also smiling, this artillery was trained, and it maintained the highest rate of fire for half an hour, and there was basically no failure.

"Notify the artillery, replace the armor-piercing shells, and kill the devils hiding in the fortifications for me."

"Yes!" Sun Liren stood up and saluted and went to inform the artillerymen.

The artillery shelled for half an hour, and they were also tired and gasping a little, which was extremely physically demanding to maintain the maximum rate of fire, and they were relieved to hear the order to replace the shells. As soon as the armor-piercing bullet is on, it doesn't take much to destroy the devil.

Armor-piercing projectiles pose a great threat to fortifications, and they mainly rely on kinetic energy to destroy armor and fortifications, that is, they are hard to hit, and solid projectiles with pointed heads pass through armor or fortifications, and use flying core fragments to kill. Of course, this is not against a tank, this armor-piercing projectile is semi-armor-piercing, there is still explosives in it, and it is ignited with a delayed fuse.

The artillery of the artillery unit is basically howitzers, and the effect of hitting armor-piercing shells is much worse than that of cannons, but there are many of them, and they don't care about this difference.

The 2,000 artillery pieces were once again powerful, and this time the devils suffered, and the armor-piercing shells passed through the fortifications and exploded in the fortifications, and the power was no worse than that of high-explosive shells exploding in the open air, and the devils were hit by shrapnel and gravel and suffered heavy casualties.

It was still half an hour of shelling, and this time King Hatohiko of the Asahika Palace couldn't laugh anymore, and asked about the casualties, and the commanders of each division replied that 'the casualties were heavy and could not be counted'! At what point has this been, even the command has been broken, there is no communication between the upper and lower levels, and the casualties cannot be counted.

"Order, the whole army will attack after the shelling stops, the aviation regiment will take off immediately and continue to bomb the Japanese warships, if the Japanese anti-aircraft fire is relatively dense, you can fight, and you can protect people and planes!" Lin Feng gave the order twenty-five minutes into the shelling.

After the last few rounds of shelling, the regimental commanders rushed to the front, and the division commanders also went directly to a position less than three kilometers away from the engagement.

The remnants of the Japanese army were defeated and the dilapidated fortifications were completely unable to resist the offensive of the Nanjing garrison with armored troops, and the infantry division was not reasonable to follow the armored troops.

The Japanese positions and fortifications were plowed by nearly 200,000 shells from front to back, and how big was this position, which was only 20 kilometers from north to south and nearly 30 kilometers from east to west, with a total area of only 600 square kilometers, and an average of more than 300 shells per square kilometer.

Many of the devils who are still alive have not been able to get out of the fortifications at all, they are blocked in the fortifications by rubble and broken walls, and those who can come out are scattered, not organized into a system, and they are fighting for themselves.

However, many devils were still very cunning, and used the vents of the fortifications that were not blown up to shoot at the Nanjing garrison, which caused a lot of trouble to the Nanjing garrison in some places, and basically the casualties were caused by the Japanese troops who remained in the dilapidated fortifications.

Although there was some trouble, but the general situation was unstoppable, the Nanjing garrison was highly moraled, fully manned, advanced weapons, and gradually cleared the Japanese troops on the position, and the armored troops had broken through Wuxi and began to press in the direction of Suzhou.

King Hatohiko of Chaoxiang Palace did not expect that the 90,000 elites under his command could not stop the Nanjing garrison for a day by relying on fortifications, and they were trapped in Wuxi before they had time to escape.

One telegram after another asking for help flew like snowflakes to the General Staff Headquarters of the Army in Tokyo, causing shocks that even shocked the Japanese government and the public.

90,000 against 100,000 were penetrated in less than a day, and the enemy's armored forces had already cut off the rear road, and the frontal bombardment was not wanted, with heavy casualties, and the positions were almost lost, leaving only the county town of Wuxi.

From Hirohito to Konoe Fumima, Sugiyama Mototo, what is this King Hatohiko of the Asaka Palace doing, 90,000 people can't resist even a day, and it's a waste of food to live in the world.

Mitsumasa Minai scratched his head, although there was a battle between land and sea, but it was the navy's proposal to attack Nanjing from the direction of Shanghai, and now the army was defeated, and the navy was also responsible, who let the idea come out of the navy.

Mitsumasa Yonechi, who had scolded King Hatohiko of the Asakanomiya more than 10,000 times in his heart, called Yamamoto Isoroku, Vice Admiral of the Navy, and called him over, "Yamamoto, how many warships does the Combined Fleet have in the waters of Shanghai?" ”

"The Third and Fourth Fleets are still near Shanghai, the Nagato and Mutsu have been transferred back to China, and the aircraft carriers have also returned to China for repairs due to heavy losses of fighters." As a vice admiral of the Navy, Yamamoto Isoroku naturally knew the movements of naval warships well.

The largest battleship in Shanghai is the armored cruiser, and the caliber of the ship's guns is 203mm, which is not dominant!

"Shanben official, what are your views on the current war in 'Zhongchina'?"

"The command ability of the Hatohiko King of the Asaka Palace is low, and he only knows how to fight hard, and there is no tactics at all!" Although Yamamoto Isoroku was not an army general, he understood the current war in Central China as long as any soldier who had read the war report.

One Lin Feng, one King Hatohiko of the Asaka Palace, the two of them didn't use any strategy or tactics, they both wanted to defeat each other head-on, but Lin Feng had a weapon advantage and took a big advantage in the head-on battle.

"I know if you don't say this, say something useful!" Mitsumasa Yonechi needs Yamamoto Isoroku to talk about this, what he wants is to be able to redeem the defeat, although he is helping the army, but the navy also has a face in it, and Central China is the common interest of the sea and land.

Yamamoto Fifty-six is just going through the motions, and if you don't show your wisdom, I won't be able to do it this time, so I cleared my throat and said: "King Hatohiko of the Asahi Palace relied on the city to insist, and after nightfall, he broke through from Wuxi and withdrew to Shanghai." Our navy secretly dispatched the Nagato and the Mutsu to Shanghai, and it took less than 20 hours to arrive, and at this time, the Chinese army pursued to Shanghai and shelled it with the main guns of battleships while it was defenseless. ”
