Chapter 186: The Great Retreat of the Japanese Army from Shanghai (3)
Compared to Hasegawa Kiyoshi's fleet, the losses of the fleet sent by the state soldiers were not small, although his fleet was generally small boats, but the number of losses was large, and it was basically a way to retreat by relying on one ship after another. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Along the river, there are everywhere the wreckage of the Japanese flotilla that was overturned or shattered by mines, and around the wreckage, there are many corpses of Japanese soldiers, some of whom were killed on the spot, and many of whom fell into the water and drowned.
The cost was very large, but it also allowed the Japanese army to break away several channels at such a cost of casualties, and the remaining ships quickly entered the sea from the broken channel and marked along the way.
Although the first fleet finally broke through the minefield, the state soldiers were not much excited, and the Japanese troops who were still urging the construction to speed up the construction of the ship, and only by ensuring more ships could they speed up the retreat. One by one, the newly built ships were dragged into the water, and then the Japanese troops who lined up to retreat quickly boarded, and began the evacuation work one after another.
The flotilla sprinting desperately towards Japan was sprinting towards Japan, and since most of the boats were wooden, many of them needed to be rowed manually, and the speed was naturally not much faster. Some of the Japanese soldiers who were rowing to death couldn't understand why the receiving fleet was so far away, didn't they know how to get as close as possible?
Finally, the flotilla met the reconnaissance ships that came to meet them, and only then did they learn that the main force of the flotilla was still 60 kilometers away from here, and many people were about to go crazy. You must know that the sea is not calm, and now it is still rowing against the current, so far away, when will this be rowed?
"Baga, carry out the order immediately. Why can't the Imperial Japanese Army endure any hardships? It is better to suffer than to be destroyed by Wei Qidong. When the state soldiers heard the complaint of the flotilla in front, they immediately gave a forced order by radio.
In fact, after knowing that the receiving fleet was seventy kilometers away from the nearest coast of Shanghai, the soldiers of the state were also cursed in their hearts, and the guys in the navy were really frightened, and now they didn't even dare to get closer to the coast of China. The 13th Division, which thought that he had won the state army, had already been beaten like that and did not take the initiative to retreat, but the navy was good, and after being taught a lesson twice, it was completely honest.
Come to think of it, but the commander of a division of the state army can't interfere with the actions of the navy, and if the navy doesn't play with him, their army can only jump into the sea.
In fact, not only were the state soldiers in a hurry, but Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi were also a little impatient, they hoped that the little devils would meet soon, and they would finish their work early. But now I have no choice but to wait slowly.
In accordance with Wei Qidong's request and under the instructions of Nanjing, the Chinese Air Force bombed the Japanese convoy twice, until a few hours later, the first group of Japanese ships desperately evacuated from Shanghai, and the Japanese troops on board were almost as tired as dead dogs, which was the result of their taking turns rowing.
However, when they finally saw the receiving fleet, these Japanese soldiers breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and they didn't feel so tired, after all, they had escaped from the magic cave in Shanghai.
"Don't delay the time, board the ship quickly......" Hasegawa Kiyoshi immediately ordered, and then let the withdrawn small boat approach the big ship, ready to meet the Japanese boarding as fast as possible.
"Buzzing ......" The sound of the planes of the Chinese Air Force sounded again, which made the Japanese scold, but there was no way, they did not have so much free time to care, and only let some anti-aircraft fire on the ship block it.
However, this time, the Chinese Air Force did not take advantage of such a great opportunity to bomb indiscriminately, but just kept circling in the sky, which made Hasegawa Kiyoshi even a little strange, and at the same time faintly felt a little inappropriate.
Here in Nantong, Tang Xinyi has been paying attention to the communication work, and Wei Qidong is in charge of paying attention to the work of the electronic reconnaissance station, and the two have not relaxed because of the long wait.
"Brother Dong, the Air Force has reported back the news, and the coordinates of the enemy's fleet have been further confirmed...... Tang Xinyi immediately presented the telegram to Wei Qidong for inspection.
"Action." Wei Qidong stood up.
"Yes......" Tang Xinyi ordered.
The two of them immediately rushed out of the temporary base, and then ascended to an open area nearby. Few people knew the news that Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi had come to Nantong, but Chairman Jiang knew very well, because Wei Qidong told Chairman Jiang his thoughts as soon as possible, and he needed the cooperation of the national army.
In response to Wei Qidong's request, Chairman Chiang naturally gave full support to it, and immediately in accordance with Wei Qidong's request, he ordered the troops in Nantong to enclose a large area and not allow anyone to approach it, but he did not explain to the troops what this area was for.
Chairman Chiang personally ordered the actions of the local troops, and this was the first time they had encountered them, so the troops in Nantong did not dare to delay at all, nor did they dare to delve into the matter, and they completed the task as quickly as possible. It wasn't until a soldier saw from afar that a plane landed in their enclosed area without using the airfield that the unit had a rough idea of what it was for.
However, this unit was strictly ordered to keep guard at all times, and was not allowed to leave without an order. Therefore, the news that Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi came to Nantong has never spread.
Now, Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi have completed the preliminary work, knowing that the retreating fleet of the Japanese army and the receiving fleet have converged and are entering the critical stage of boarding, and they have locked their positions, how could they miss such a good opportunity.
Ten tornadoes were taken out by Wei Qidong, and the two of them quickly began to adjust and shoot Zhu Yuan according to the direction, and now Tang Xinyi is already very proficient, and the speed of the two is getting faster and faster. In less than ten minutes, the two of them cooperated to adjust the shooting of Zhu Yuan.
Without saying a word, Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi boarded a launch vehicle.
"Prepare ......"
"Launch ......"
......Suddenly, a terrifying whistling sound sounded, and the soldiers of the national army who were on duty couldn't help but be startled, looking at the light passing in the sky in the distance and the smoke that had not dispersed, and couldn't help but swallow a lot of saliva in their mouths.
"Obediently, it's really General Wei and General Tang who came to our Nantong, no wonder Chairman Jiang personally ordered us."
"It's really spectacular, look in this direction, it's shooting at the sea, the little devil's fleet, I'm afraid it's going to suffer......"
Many soldiers were amazed.
"Don't look around, take your post ......" a major general and division commander ordered with a cold face, the more critical the moment, the more he can't make mistakes, even if he himself is very excited in his heart, but he can't show it.
The first wave of twenty-four rockets quickly crossed the space distance and fiercely pounced on the Japanese convoy that was still moored in the sea and was still urgently carrying personnel.
However, the sound of tornado rockets is very loud, and it can be heard from a long distance, not to mention that the surrounding area is endless, and the view is very good, so looking for prestige, many people saw the fierce beast that rushed over.
"Ah, no......"
"His Majesty the Emperor......"
"Mom's ......"
There was a shout.
The 300-millimeter rocket of "boom boom boom boom ......" was quickly smashed down, as if a fireball had been thrown into a hot oil pan.
