The four 300 mm caliber fortress guns equipped on the Zhangjiagang River Defense Fortress look very huge, each gun weighs nearly 30 tons of barrel alone, the barrel is 12 meters long, the rotating turret, and the angle of fire is from -5 to +25 degrees. The maximum firing range of 25 kilometers can completely cover the entire Yangtze River surface in front.

In front of the Jiangfang fortress, several observation points had already observed the small Japanese fleet on the river in the distance, and when they saw the plaster flag on the steamer, the soldiers in charge of observing it immediately reported the situation.

Seeing the situation reported from the front, Wang Yue, the commander of the Jiangfang fortress, immediately made a decision and immediately issued an artillery order to destroy these ships of the little Japanese.

The thick barrel looks very hideous and deterrent, inside the huge bunker, the soldiers are busy, combined with the data of the positioning rangefinder to adjust the shelling parameters, one huge shell after another began to load, and the thick barrel began to face the river several kilometers away.

In addition to the fortress guns, the other six 203-mm guns were not idle, and they also began to prepare for shelling, preparing to shell the small Japanese fleet that was slowly sailing over on the river.

"Everything is ready to fire, please instruct !!"

In the command room of the Jiangfang fortress, there was a clear report, and when he heard the ready report, Wang Yue was full of anger, picked up the microphone and said loudly: "Fire!" ”

The order was given, and suddenly, there was a loud bang from the entire position, as if the whole earth was shaking. The sturdy concrete bunkers, the sturdy reinforced concrete fortifications are trembling, which shows how powerful these cannons are.

It's just a matter of firing guns. The movement is very amazing!

"Boom, boom, boom"

With a loud bang, one shell after another whistled out, heading straight for a target on the river several kilometers away, and when the artillery was fired, the little Japan on the river seemed to be unconscious, and the sound had not yet been heard, several kilometers away. Even the sound takes a while.

The huge transport ship was swimming against the current, and it looked like it was at least four or five thousand tons in tonnage. There must have been a lot of supplies loaded, and on the bow deck, there were actually several officers of little devils, this is not a warship. The escort was actually a small Japanese soldier.

A small Japanese Nakasa stands at the bow of the boat. Looking at the river, it seems that he is enjoying the scenery on both sides of the Yangtze River, and behind this Zhongzuo, there are three or four middle and low-level officers of the little devil.

"Your Excellency Zhongzuo, this area still belongs to Zhangjiagang for the time being, and further on is Jiangyin, and we are not far from our destination Nanjing."

"Yo Si! You've all worked this trip. ”

received the praise of the devil Zhongzuo, and the faces of several devil officers next to him were slightly happy. One of the devil lieutenants changed his face slightly after a joy. A little angry, he said: "Your Excellency Zhongzuo, it's all this damn new 6th Army, and our supplies have to be transported by river to Nanjing, which is getting more and more troublesome." ”

Hearing this, the devil Zhongzuo also frowned. In the past, the supplies of the Central China Front of Little Japan were generally transported to Shanghai by sea, and then directly encountered various places by rail or road, such as Nanjing, Wuhan, Nanchang, and so on.

After the new 6th Army recovered Zhangjiagang, Suzhou, and Wuxi, this railway and highway passage was cut off, and the supplies, weapons, ammunition, and so on of the Central China Front Army of Little Japan could only be transported from Shanghai to Nanjing and other places through the Yangtze River.

However, the Yangtze River will also be cut off from now on, and from now on, little Japan will have to consider other ways to transport its supplies.

Just as these little devils were talking at the bow of the boat, suddenly, there was a sharp whistling sound in the sky, and suddenly, the faces of these little devils changed.

"Yaga! Where is the cannon being fired. The devil Nakasa shouted first.

The rest of the devil officers, including many little devils on the ship, looked in the direction where the voice came from, and many of the little devils' faces turned a little pale.

These little devils are also soldiers, judging by this terrifying whistling, this should be a giant cannon, and there is far more than one, these little devils can't figure out whether there is a heavy artillery group of the new 6th Army here.

A devil officer, in a hurry, anxiously searched the direction from which the sound came, trying to spot the heavy artillery group on the bank of the river, but was obviously disappointed.

This devil Nakasa didn't pick up his binoculars, because, from experience, the caliber of these cannons is absolutely amazing, not like a heavy artillery group, but like a fortress cannon that can only be moved.

Fortress Cannon !!

Thinking of this terrifying weapon, the devil Nakasa's face turned pale, and he thought sadly in his heart, this transport ship of his own is an ordinary ship, not a solid battleship, can he use fortress guns against himself?

The devil Nakasa's heart was full of sorrow, his face was pale, motionless, and he looked at the sky.

"Boom, boom, boom"

A loud bang shook the earth, and a lot of shells hit the river, blowing up a column of water dozens of meters high, and the power was very terrifying, and the smallest caliber of these shells was 203 millimeters.

Most of the shells missed the target, but two or three shells managed to hit the target, including a 300-millimeter shell that hit the large transport ship on which the devil Nakasa was riding, and hit the side of the ship directly.

"Boom!" There was a loud bang, the power was very terrifying, and the huge power of the explosion directly shook many little devils on the deck away, and the devil Nakasa, who was standing on the bow of the ship, was not spared, and was shocked by the powerful power to bleed, thrown out more than ten meters away, flew high, and fell far away on the river.

The rest of the little devils next to the devil Zhongzuo, including the devil officers, were in a similar situation, and they were shocked one after another, scattered out of the distance, and thrown on the surface of the river.

The transport ship was almost blown off, blowing a large hole of more than ten meters in the side, and the thin hull did not stop the huge shell at all, this shell passed through the papier-mâché-like hull, directly drilled into it and exploded in the hull, showing the power of the explosion to the fullest.

The inside of the ship was in a sparse mess, and a raging fire was raging, and soon thick black smoke rose up, and the force of the explosion almost lifted most of the deck, and the deck was also a terrifying, shocking hole.

With just one shot, this transport ship with a displacement of four or five thousand tons will be scrapped. However, it seems that more horror is yet to come.

After being hit by this huge cannonball, after the terrifying explosion, in just a dozen seconds, the raging fire had just burned, and the black smoke had just rolled up, and the little devil who was lucky not to be killed on the ship had barely had time to jump off ship and escape, and the more terrifying explosion was remembered.

The ship was loaded with ammunition, which was supposed to be destined for Nanjing, and the ship was full of boxes of bullets, grenades, explosives, as well as a large number of various small and medium-caliber shells, so much ammunition, which was quickly detonated.

"Boom !!"

Like an earthquake, the river shook, and the whole ship completely disintegrated, was blown apart, and then slowly sank to the bottom of the river.

In addition to the 300 mm fortress shell that destroyed the large transport ship with one shot, two 203 mm shells hit two other ships respectively, and the two ships were immediately severely damaged and almost on the verge of scrapping.

This small Japanese transport fleet, there were a total of seven large and small transport ships, in addition to a small gunboat, and the little devils on the rest of the ships were completely stunned, staring blankly at the large transport ship that was blown to pieces.

On the small gunboat, a devil second lieutenant's face turned pale, he looked at this scene in disbelief, and after being stunned for several seconds, he shouted loudly in horror: "Quick, send a report to Nanjing, hurry up!" ”

After shouting, the second lieutenant of the devil personally got into the cockpit and ordered the little devil who drove the boat to increase the horsepower to the maximum and flee with all his might.

The tonnage of the remaining transport ships is not large, generally in the scale of one or two thousand tons, and the remaining four transport ships are still intact.

The little devils don't know what to do, a few kilometers away from the river bank is the new 6th Army's not small Jiangfang fortress, how can they escape.

Less than a minute later, the fleet of the little devils did not go far, and the heavy shelling came again, and although most of the shells still missed, a few shells still hit the target.

A 300-mm fortress cannon shell actually hit the little devil's small gunboat accurately, and there was a loud "boom", which was only a few hundred tons of displacement The small gunboat was blown apart.

Of the rest of the transport ships, two more were destroyed. After several rounds of shelling, the fighters stopped firing their guns, and the fighters at the observation point came back with the news that the target had been completely destroyed.

On the vast river, several small Japanese transport ships were slowly sinking, and one of them was even sunk to the point that only a little stern remained.

There was also a ship with thick smoke, the hull was so badly tilted that it was almost all exposed to the bottom, and it didn't take long to turn the bottom to the sky, and there was even a ship with its bow cocked high and smoke billowing out.

After the shelling was over, Wang Yue took the binoculars and walked to an observation point in front of him to see the results of his shelling in person, and when he saw that all the small Japanese ships on the river in the distance had been destroyed, he immediately waved his arms excitedly and shouted loudly.

"Hurry up and send a report to the military seat, our Zhangjiagang River Defense Fortress has won the first battle!"

A radio wave was transmitted to the headquarters of the new 6th Army, everyone was very happy, Ye Feng was also happy in his heart, from now on, the Yangtze River waterway is no longer the exclusive transportation channel of Little Japan, in addition, looking at the merit value increased in the system, Ye Feng's heart is naturally full of joy.
