Commander Liu also fought hard.

In order to sink the cruiser "Izumo", even the scanning function of the brain was taken out and used by him.

Three years ago, the scanning limit of the brain was 15 kilometers, and at that time a lot of spare energy was needed to barely do it, and now with someone's spiritual cultivation, the scanning radius has reached 18 kilometers, but it is just a little bit worse than the location of the enemy ship.

It's really better to count people than to be counted by heaven.

However, Rear Admiral Liu still found a way, and he personally drove the car and moved a distance in front of the enemy ship, about three kilometers or so, and finally locked the "Izumo" completely.

The artillery data sorted out by Zhi Brain was transmitted to the heavy artillery group one by one, causing the heavy artillery group to bite the enemy ship to death.

Shells rained down on the surface of the ship, and all kinds of debris, wreckage and human limbs were thrown in all directions by the blast.

The unwilling "Izumo" still wants to fight back while running.

After being shelled for more than ten minutes, the enemy ship fired four 203-mm shells, but the target was a little exaggerated, and I didn't know where to fly at all, but fortunately, there was no mistake in the general direction, and the loading speed was also "amazing", and it took about two or three minutes to launch a salvo again.

In the end, I was desperate.

The large and small guns on the enemy ships rang out as if they were in a dying throes.

Commander Liu was naturally not afraid of this little drizzle, but instead accelerated the speed of the shelling, and more than 20 minutes passed, and more than 3,000 152-mm shells were fired.

The armored cruiser "Izumo" is worthy of the word armored, and it is indeed thick and resistant to explosions, and if it is allowed to run amok with thousands of shells, it will not fall.

On the contrary, the surrounding light cruisers were badly damaged, the "Onifury" was severely damaged, and the "Natori" had exploded and caught fire, and it seemed that there was nothing to save them, only the "Yura" ran relatively fast and was not affected much, and was looking pitifully not far away.

However, the god of luck is still gone.

When the "Izumo" was about to reach Wusongkou, a 152-mm shell passed through the gap in the armor of the turret and ignited the ammunition depot of the 203-mm shell.

The warship seemed to be pulled out of the water by a giant hand, and then thrown down again.

The effect of the previous thousands of shells came out at once, and the entire "Izumo" began to breathe fire from all sides, and all kinds of fragments continued to shoot outward, and the Japanese troops in the vicinity were all stunned, as if the end was coming.

Fortunately, Vice Admiral Tanigawa Kiyoshi was not on the ship, otherwise the Japanese army would have had another general in an instant.

According to the unspoken rules of the Japanese army, all officers who died bravely in battle would be promoted to the next rank.

For Dazuo, who has been unable to be promoted for many years, in order to be promoted to general, death in battle is the best choice, so the word "death in battle" has a very vivid saying in the Japanese army in World War II - "promotion express".

The "Izumo" was sunk, and the consequences were extremely serious.

The entire Japanese Third Fleet lost its combat effectiveness in an instant, because of the four capital ships of the entire fleet, two were sunk and one was heavily damaged, and it is still unknown whether they can be pulled back to the Japanese mainland for repair.

As for the surviving "Yura", it was also frightened, and the thick-skinned and well-gunned armored ships were sunk, not to mention its light cruiser.

At the same time, the news that the Japanese fleet had been severely damaged disappeared, which not only greatly boosted the morale of the Chinese army and civilians, but also lost the fire suppression of the naval guns, and the arrogance of the Japanese marines was greatly reduced.

The Japanese soldiers became sluggish and numb, and they were motionless despite the punches and kicks of the soldiers.

With the addition of the 152-mm heavy gun, they saw a burst of ground shaking, and their bodies were shaken, and at this time, even the most clamoring officers stopped dumbfounded, and their faces suddenly became pale and weak.

As death gradually approached, the nerves of some Japanese soldiers finally broke off, and they frantically rushed out of the fortifications, desperately rushing to the Huaxia position, preparing to launch a suicidal attack, often before they had even taken a few steps, they were blown into cannon fodder by the whistling shells.

The rest of the soldiers curled up even more.

With the shift of the focus of our army's artillery bombardment, the Chinese soldiers, who were crawling forward, launched a full-scale attack, which progressed very quickly, and after more than ten minutes, they broke through the first line of defense of the Japanese army.

The Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai were greatly shocked and had to urgently shrink their defensive lines.

Attacking during the day is indeed more reliable.

At about six o'clock on the 19th, the heavy artillery in western Sichuan finally stopped shelling, and the more than 10,000 shells brought from western Sichuan had all been used up, so they had to stop shelling.

Since they entered the war, they have not fired so many heavy shells.

Nanjing sent a total of three artillery regiments directly under it to the Songhu battlefield, namely the 10th, 11th and 15th regiments.

However, all their heavy artillery shells were added together, and there were only a few thousand rounds, which caused these heavy artillery regiments to finish the shells every time they shelled, for fear that they would be quick and finish the shells.

Of course, the results were also brilliant.

In addition to the Japanese warships, the Japanese marines are left with only the headquarters and other core positions, and whether they can survive tonight is a big question.

But the rest of the matter, anyway, no matter what happens to Commander Liu.

The artillery battle during the day had completely deprived the Japanese Third Fleet of its combat effectiveness, and in the Huangpu River, there were still the wreckage of the "Izumo" and the "Natori", which were fortunately blocked near Wusongkou, and in the future, the Japanese army wanted to reinforce the marines in Hongkou through the Huangpu River, which became very tortuous and dangerous.

"Leave your clothes and go away, hide your body and name" is Liu Yicheng's character.

This guy was afraid that the devil soldiers would hate him, and deliberately counted this credit on the artillery regiment directly under him, and the two artillery battalions in western Sichuan were deliberately removed by him and became the first battalion of a certain artillery regiment.

Later, it took a lot of effort for the Japanese devils to find out the culprit of the "terrorist shelling".

However, at that time, time had passed, and Commander Liu had already become their number one enemy, whether there was this old account or not, they couldn't let the devil let him go, even if it was verified, it only made the image of a certain demon a little more terrifying.

So Commander Liu took the train and left in style.

However, with his victory, there were more than 1,000 artillerymen in western Sichuan, all of them were jubilant, just like celebrating a festival, but 72 152 mm heavy guns were all left in the Shanghai battlefield, and any brother unit could pick up the cheap, as long as it was not a Japanese devil.

When the military train arrived in Nanjing, it was already the early morning of the second day.

Jiang Weizuo, Lin Sen and Wang Zhaoming and other Nanjing bigwigs arrived at Nanjing Railway Station early to welcome the return of the "heroes".

Seeing that Lao Jiang and others were not afraid of the wind and cold to pick him up, Commander Liu was also moved to tears, and before he could come forward to salute, a group of bigwigs rushed to bow and salute him, so frightened that this guy's soul flew away, and he almost didn't fall off the car, which is the specification of saluting the martyrs.

This guy is a martial arts practitioner, and with a single arrow step, he flew out of the car.

Liu Yicheng was about to return the salute, but he heard Lao Jiang say in a deep voice, "Brothers, I, Jiang someone, on behalf of 40,000 Chinese people, thank you for your heroic struggle, this artillery battle in Shanghai has played the prestige and backbone of my Chinese soldiers, and you are a model of Chinese artillery."

Commander Liu touched his head and laughed for a while, feeling that he would be wrong.

Lao Jiang and others are the brothers who came here to greet the Sichuan West Artillery Battalion, well, it's really good, applause, applause, applause, for a while, applause rang out on the military column, but scattered and weak applause.

Lost face for a certain warlord.

Lao Jiang and other bigwigs are not surprised, the soldiers fought for a long time, more than 50 kilograms of heavy shells, more than 10,000 were fired, not to mention ordinary people, even robots can't resist, so these artillerymen are listless, and even applauding is quite difficult, which is the most normal thing.

The artillery of the Sichuan army was treated like a hero.

They will be picked up by car, temporarily settled in the headquarters of the Central Teaching Team, and when the big guys have recovered their breath, they will take a boat to Wuhu Airport, and then if there is no accident, they will also take a passenger plane in western Sichuan and return to Sichuan one by one to rest and recuperate.

As for Liu Yicheng, he was taken away by President Jiang himself, and it is said that there is a national event to discuss with him.

Seeing Commander Liu sitting in the same car as the commissioner, many of the generals present looked at each other, although they knew that this guy had been taken by Lao Jiang, and was about to rise to the top, but he could be favored like this, and he did break the glasses of countless people.

Who is to blame for this?

If you want the bigwigs to look up to you, you should also go to Shanghai to kill a few Japanese warships.

Lao Jiang really favored Commander Liu, but this time he took him with him at night, and it was really a big matter to discuss, because of the "August 14 air victory", the momentum of the Chinese Air Force was like a rainbow, and it was also estimated that the bombers of the Japanese devils would not run to Nanjing to spread the wilderness for the time being, so the commission dared to station in Nanjing Purple Mountain.

Of course, Lao Jiang will not live in the mountains, let alone in any mountain villas.

The small convoy secretly drove into the underground base of Purple Mountain, and theoretically speaking, even if it was bombed by devils, it would not be too dangerous.

During the war, the residences of the big people were usually set up in a few more places to avoid being assassinated or harassed by the enemy.

Staying the same is a taboo.

Lao Jiang brought someone here, not on a whim, but really there are several major events, the first is the installation of air defense radar, at present, in addition to the Tiantai Mountain in Taizhou, there is no radar, Nanjing's Purple Mountain, Shanghai's Sheshan Mountain, and Hangzhou's Tianmu Mountain, have all been successfully installed.

There is only one bad thing, the Purple Mountain Empty Finger Center that has been built cannot receive any signal at all.

According to Lieutenant Colonel Yu Zitian, a radar intelligence officer, Commander Liu's personal authorization is still required.

And Lao Chiang also received tangible information, saying that the devils had found a way to deal with the Flying Bear fighters, and if the intelligence was correct, the Japanese devils were about to carry out a large-scale landing operation in the vicinity of Shanghai, and the landing time was August 23, 1937.

It's August 20th, and there's only three days left to prepare.

From the point of view of Jiang Wei's seat, if Nanjing has an air defense early warning radar, it is equivalent to an extra chance of winning, even if someone is really bragging, even if it can achieve a one-third effect, it is also a big killing weapon, and then it will depend on how the Japanese devils die, well, the battle of Songhu is promising.

Lao Chiang had already tasted the sweetness of the air battle in Nanjing, and he couldn't stop like smoking opium.

He also realized the truth that the air force was the guarantee of victory in the war.

Therefore, if you want to defeat the Japanese devils, you have to occupy air supremacy.

Of course, China's overall strength is weak, and it is indeed a utopian dream to seize air supremacy in an all-round way.

However, in the vicinity of Songhu and Nanjing, it is still possible to give a try to occupy local air superiority, and if the air defense radar succeeds and the Japanese Air Force tries to pull it back, I am afraid that it will need human lives to fill it, and it will have to exhaust both sides until it is exhausted.

If a large and weak country wants to defeat a small but strong country, it can only fight a war of attrition.

Does the opened radar network really need Commander Liu's authorization?

A joke, of course.

It's just that the early radar system of the British was extremely primitive and backward, and it consumed more manpower and material resources, because each British radar station required a large number of manpower, and the radar stations relied entirely on telephone contact, which was a relatively troublesome high-tech.

The western Sichuan radar network is more intelligent, because a certain bear child has a golden finger - smart brain, which plays a central control role.

As for the Nanjing Air Finger Center, there was no way to achieve intelligent control, but Commander Liu was lucky enough to meet an alien tree man in Daliang Mountain, and in order to let him take care of the young Aoki Demon God, he sent an interstellar battleship Zhi Brain.

When Liu Yicheng returned home and studied it in the virtual illusion, he found that this round brain was of no use to him at present, and it was full of some starship control programs and how to maintain them.

By the way, there are also some mysterious interstellar routes and coordinates.

This guy was angry for a while, and asked the brain Dick to copy all kinds of information one by one, and then wash the round brain into a whiteboard as Dick's spare hard disk, and this time it happened to make the best use of it, and changed it to the main control computer of the empty finger center.
