Chapter 332: Powerful Opponent
"Your Excellency Wing Commander, no, our artillery can't hit the battery, it can't be suppressed at all, but because the shelling is discovered by the enemy, it will be destroyed by the enemy's artillery fire, only to fire smoke bombs, cover you don't have to retreat!" The devil artillery commander couldn't cry or laugh -
"Okay, then put your smoke bombs, the more the better!"
At this time, the artillery commander on the Jiangyin Fort behind had already test-fired three shells in a row, basically determining the correct position of the assembly place of those devil infantry on the riverbank, and he gave a firing order to the 150 mm fortress guns on the fort with his throat: "Eight shots are fired rapidly!" Put! ”
Zhao Yongfu felt that there was a sudden whistling sound behind him, the whistling sound was overwhelming, mighty, and rushed towards the river bank, he was very proud, and shouted to his subordinates with a smile: "Brothers, wait to see a good show, the little devil is going to suffer a lot this time!" ”
As soon as the words fell, rows of explosions and red lights flashed in the group of devils crossing the riverbank, including those few devil tanks and armored vehicles, all of which were swallowed up by this earth-shattering huge explosion, hundreds of little devil infantry were blown to pieces, and their bones were gone, and some devils were wrapped in flames all over their bodies, becoming a pillar of fire, rolling and fluttering on the ground with a miserable howl.
The captain of the devil wing saw this scene, and hurriedly ordered the whole line to retreat, in fact, at this time, he didn't need to order a retreat, those bombed devil soldiers had already rushed to turn around and run down to the other side of the river, although these devils were full of thoughts of being instilled with the idea of the imperial holy war, but their brains were not completely broken, and they still understood that under this fierce covering shelling, rushing up had no other practical meaning except being cannon fodder, so it was better to run down first to save their lives!
As soon as the devils retreated, Zhao Yongfu and Li Dagang hurriedly dug fortifications by the river, and they had to take advantage of the devil's retreat to quickly dig out these hiding fortifications, otherwise once it was dawn, the devil's infantry would launch a fierce attack on the Jiangyin Fort under the cover of aircraft and artillery, and it was estimated that they would not be able to stop it.
The captain of the devil wing suffered a loss, scolded his subordinates for their incompetence, and was scolding, and a devil staff officer under his command suggested: "Your Excellency, the Zhina army has seized the opportunity and has occupied the Jiangyin Fort, and if you want to take the fort, you must destroy those large-caliber heavy artillery, otherwise, even if you rush in, it is estimated that the casualties of the imperial army troops will be too great." ”
"You don't need to say this, what good can you do?" The captain of the devil wing was furious, just now he saw that he was about to surround those Zhina army troops, but he didn't think that he was smashed by a large cannonball from the battery, and he was killed and wounded.
"We can wait until dawn tomorrow to ask the warships of the naval fleet to carry out a suppressive bombardment of the Jiangyin Battery, according to the information we have obtained, although the huge cannons on the Jiangyin Fort are of large caliber, powerful enough, and have a long range, they cannot move, unlike the naval ships that can move freely, suppress the battery firepower with naval guns, and carry out a landing feint to contain the enemy defending the battery, and then launch an attack from the ground on the opposite side of the Zhina Army position, and also call in the air force aircraft to help in the battle, the three-pronged approach will definitely be able to destroy the Jiangyin Battery, Conquer the positions of the Chinese army. "This devil staff officer is really poisonous, as soon as he comes up, he will be pressed up by the sea, land and air, which is really ruthless.
The captain of the devil's wing heard this, and felt that the staff officer's method was feasible, but he felt that he had no bottom in his heart, because just now he had found out that the troops of the Zhina Army that were blocking the attack on the opposite side were not ordinary troops, and their combat effectiveness was very tenacious, the combat effectiveness of the ** squadron on the opposite side should not be underestimated!
The captain of the Devil's Wing sent a report to his superiors, claiming that he had suddenly encountered a large number of elite main forces of the China Army near Jiangyin, the troops had suffered great losses and made slow progress, and the Jiangyin Forts had also fallen into the hands of the China Army.
His superior is the Nakajima devil of the sixth division of the devil, the Nakajima devil suffered a lot of hardships from the squadron here in Luodian, although in the end he took advantage of the retreat of the squadron **, took the opportunity to capture Luodian, and quickly rushed north along the coastal line towards Jiangyin, but the battle with the squadron on the battlefield of Luodian for more than a month made this arrogant Nakajima devil have palpitations, especially in the battle with the independent division and the spy company, the special combat team sent by Nakajima was completely annihilated and slapped him in the face. He couldn't get angry, and he kept trying to find an independent division and a special service company to fight again, but he couldn't find where these two troops are now?
Later, the Nakajima devils received information that the Independent Division had been surrounded and eliminated by the Ninth Division that had landed ashore from Hangzhou Bay on the shores of Taihu Lake on the western front, and that the spy company was fighting fiercely with the Third Division in Wuwei Town on the south bank of Taihu Lake, and it was estimated that it would be almost unable to hold on.
Hearing this news, the Nakajima devil was a little disappointed, thinking that he couldn't destroy the team of the spy company with his own hands, and it was indeed a bit of a pity, if his troops were on the Western Front, he would have to surround them and destroy them.
After receiving a telegram from the commander of the wing in the direction of Jiangyin, the devil of Nakajima immediately thought: "Could it be that the special service company and the independent division that captured the Jiangyin fort?" Judging from the combat effectiveness of the units of the China Army that have only run down from Shanghai, there are only a handful of squadrons that can block the heavy firepower attacks of their own wings on the Jiangyin side, and they are certainly not some local miscellaneous army units, this is certain. ”
Nakajima immediately called back to the wing captain, agreed to his request for reinforcements, and asked the devil wing captain to figure out the number of the squadron ** team blocking on the opposite side, and suspend all attacks before understanding these situations, and at the same time he sent a brigade of devils to rush towards Jiangyin City in two ways!
In fact, the devil doesn't need to check at all, the news of the spy company in Jiangyin has been spread by those people, since the defeat of the Songhu battlefield, the ** team has suffered defeats again and again, and was chased by the little devils, and the people along the way heard the news that the ** team was defeated by the devils and ran down, and there are devils everywhere to conquer the city, burn and loot the news, which makes the villagers in the southern Jiangsu Plain panic, and they have fled their hometowns to take refuge elsewhere!
