Ouyang Jian received a telegram from Li Dabao in the secret room and let out a sigh of relief. He immediately ordered Li Dabao to blockade the Jiangyin fortress and block the Japanese warships from escaping. At the beginning of the year, Ouyang Jian reported to the Ministry of National Defense that he attached great importance to Jiangyin Fortress. However, the Ministry of Defense simply ignored it, and the scene of history was repeated. Fortunately, it's not too late to make amends. Changing Plan B is a last resort. What it meant to blockade Jiangyin Fortress, Ouyang Jian knew very well in his heart.

In the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, there are about 70 Japanese warships of various kinds, 20 of which are warships, including the Yaeyama, the flagship of the Japanese Navy's inland fleet. In addition, it includes 7,000 Marines stationed in various places, and if their return route is cut off, it will be very beneficial to the overall situation of the war of resistance. When the Japanese army headquarters received the news that the Japanese nationals were secretly detained, it judged that the Nationalist Government had begun to act in advance, and the secret retreat order was quickly issued to the Japanese warships and Japanese institutions stationed in various places along the river.

However, the Japanese did not expect that an "alien" figure would disrupt the deployment of the Japanese army, and there is no doubt that the prelude to the Battle of Songhu kicked off in advance. Ouyang Jian walked out of the secret room and returned to the war room, and immediately gave instructions to Mu Shixiong, the leader of the special operations team, to openly continue to fuel the flames and play an exemplary role against the Japanese foreign operators in Wuhan located in the British Concession. The purpose is a fait accompli, so that Lao Jiang will not hesitate to look forward and backward, and hesitate to delay the fighter.

In the early morning of Jiangyin Fortress, Li Dabao held a telescope to observe the river, and found that two Japanese gunboats and one transport ship had fled downstream. At this time, the east is exposed to the white of the fish's belly, and the fog on the river is boundless. "Report to the captain of the brigade that the explosives of the fortress artillery have been dismantled, the cannon and ammunition are intact. The seriously wounded were handed over to the Dark Arrow personnel and have been sent to Jiangyin City for treatment, ""Immediately enter battle preparations and block the river!" "The Navy Special Operations Corps soldiers have no problems maneuvering the artillery, they are all specially trained.

At this time, a deafening sound came from the eastern sky, and soon several fighters roared in. Li Dabao held up the telescope to observe and found a round red mark. "It was the Japanese army who bombed the fighter planes and ordered everyone to enter the fort immediately and hide it. Soon, the four bombardment planes flew into the air, and immediately dived and bombed at all, and the huge explosion sounded in the battery group, and the air and smoke of the explosion filled the sky with smoke and dust. The fortress was built of reinforced concrete, and aerial bombardment did not help.

20 minutes later, 4 more bombers flew overhead, and 4 bombers of the 1st echelon flew away. At this time, the national army unit on the west side learned that the fortress had been recaptured, so they drove over to take advantage. They should have been unlucky, the team had just arrived near the fort and caught up with the Japanese planes to bomb them. The 2nd echelon of Japanese planes discovered them when they arrived to bomb overhead, and immediately 4 bombers aimed at them. This motley unit obviously lacked air defense training and was supposed to hide on the spot, but this group of men and horses herded the sheep.

The soldiers fled with their lives, and the Japanese planes chased and bombed, and in an instant, a battalion of national troops collapsed, with countless casualties. "Report to the captain, a national army unit has appeared on the west side, and the Japanese plane has aimed at them!" "We must have met that national army unit yesterday, and it looks like they came to take over the battery." "Ignore them, keep an eye on the river. The Japanese warships were spotted and immediately opened fire. "Captain, if it's a Japanese cargo ship, will it fight?" "If you find a Japanese cargo ship, warn first, and sink it on the spot if you don't stop."

Nanjing Ministry of Defense, Lao Jiang was awakened. In the past few days, Lao Chiang has been disturbed by the tense atmosphere of the war, and he has not been able to eat well and sleep well. His eye sockets were visibly darkened, and he had lost a lot of energy. Lao Jiang walked into the operational command center of the Ministry of National Defense, and saw that everyone's expressions were very happy and a little confused. "President, Ouyang Jian, chief of the general staff of the Eighth Route Army, sent a telegram to the Ministry of National Defense that one of his special combat teams recaptured the Huangshan Fort in the morning after a night of fierce fighting, and wiped out three squadrons of Japanese troops. Ouyang Jian had already ordered the Jiangyin Fortress to be blocked. ”

Lao Jiang was shocked when he heard this, this was the best news he had heard since the July Seven Incident. Lao Jiang's eyes looked at the military map and said excitedly: "Ouyang Jian is good, worthy of being the elite of Huangpu." Immediately call the headquarters of the 18th Route Army, and give a telegram in my name to commend this action. Lao Jiang continued: "Where has the 112th Division arrived!" "The 112th Division has already arrived in Huashi, and it is estimated that it will reach Jiangyin at 9 a.m. The order has been given to the 112th Division to move at full speed! He Yingqin reported.

"However, a pioneer battalion of the newly reorganized 312th Division in Jiangsu was the first to arrive at the Huangshan Battery, and it is estimated that it has converged with the special operations troops of the Eighth Route Army." He Yingqin continued to report. "How's the First Fleet going?" The First Fleet is assembling at the mouth of the lake! At present, the Zhongshan ship, the Yongji ship, the health ship, and the Yixian ship have arrived at Hukou. "Order the Admiralty to immediately order the interception of the Japanese warships. In addition, he ordered troops along the river to launch an attack on the Japanese marines and intercept all Japanese nationals! ”

"Report, Jiangyin called, Japanese aircraft launched an air attack on the Huangshan Fort." "Order the air force to dispatch to intercept the Japanese planes, and we must ensure the safety of the Jiangyin fortress." Ouyang Jian's impetus inadvertently played a role. Although it cannot affect the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War, it can play a huge role in improving morale and boosting the morale of the people. This is Ouyang Jian's purpose, to recapture the Huangshan Fort, even if the naval special combat team pays a heavy price, it must be unhesitating.

In the Huangshan Fort, the Japanese red bombers were still bombing indiscriminately, but Li Dabao and his men were unmoved, and they were engrossed in watching the river. "Captain, the lookout post reported that the national army on the west side has disappeared, and it is estimated that they have fled." "A rabble, they want to get something for nothing, but they are hit. It's good that they're coming, and we're even more troublesome. "Report, Jiujiang called, the 112th Division of the National Army came to take over the Jiangyin Fortress, and has now arrived in Huashi, ordering our department to fully cooperate with the smooth transfer."

"Captain, if the Japanese warship is found before the handover, we can't fight!" "Nonsense, why don't you fight, you can't let go of a Japanese warship!" At this time, a detachment leader ran to report: "Report to the captain, the lookout post is observing, and the Japanese warships and a large number of cargo ships have been found upstream." 12 warships and 18 cargo ships. "The total number of warships of the Japanese army is 20, and this is the first batch. All in place, into combat readiness. ”

Li Dabao stood inside the commanding fortress, holding a telescope to observe. Soon the shadow of a Japanese warship appeared upstream, and two gunboats were at the head of the front. Behind is a cargo ship. "Order two rapid fire from the 1st and 2nd gun positions to warn the Japanese warships to dock." Two shells exploded in the center of the river, and the water column soared into the sky! However, the Japanese gunboats were unmoved, and it was obvious that the Japanese warships had learned the news and had been prepared for a long time, and they were still moving forward at full speed. "Damn, the little devil is going all out, ordering all the artillery, lock on the Japanese warship, and shell indiscriminately."

Inside a turret, a gunner shouted directions, and the cannon began to roar. The shells flew straight to the gunboat in front of the Japanese army, and the first shell did not hit the target, but exploded a few meters from the bow of the gunboat, and the shock wave of the explosion stirred up a high column of water, and the gunboat was almost lifted. The school gunners quickly revised the data, and with the second gun unveiled, it hit the middle of the gunboat. Suddenly, debris flew in the middle of the gunboat, and thick smoke billowed out. The gunboat lost control and began to shoot sideways, and a cargo ship behind it crashed directly into the gunboat's side.

The tonnage of the cargo ship was greater than that of the gunboat, and the gunboat overturned under the violent impact. Watching the gunboat turn over, the belly was exposed. In a matter of seconds, the gunboat sank to the bottom of the river. Another gunboat, which was headed, was also hit and caught fire. The Japanese gunboat, rushing to the mouth of the trumpet, suddenly exploded, and then sank to the bottom of the river. The fortress cannon of the Huangshan Battery, with a caliber of 202 mm, was rich and surplus against inland river warships. If a single shot hits, the gunboat of several hundred tons will be crushed and sunk.

The Japanese fleet was in disarray, and the river was in shambles, but the Japanese still fled at full speed. A cargo ship was hit on the side side, and a large hole was immediately blown out of the side of the cargo ship. Seeing the cargo ship break in two, the people on board jumped into the water one after another, and then were swallowed up by the whirlpool. The gunners in one of the batteries were stunned when they saw such a terrifying scene, and they actually forgot to report the data. "Fuck you're stupid, look at what to take!" A gunner was already ready and waiting for the cannon to be fired.
