Chapter 166: Playing Cover
"Uncle, what's going on?"
As soon as Chen Jinghui arrived at the headquarters of Jiujiang City, he saw the anxious Chen Hu and Chief of Staff Xu discussing something. He walked up directly and asked about the current situation.
Chen Hu and Chief of Staff Xu, who were still discussing ways to resolve the Jiujiang crisis, were suddenly asked by Chen Jinghui. immediately stood up and turned to look at the door, and found that it was Chen Jinghui standing at the door.
"Why are you here?"
The two asked in unison, not understanding why Chen Jinghui didn't notify him when he came over.
"Don't worry about how I got here, tell me what the situation is here."
Chen Jinghui is most concerned about the war here, and other things can be ignored for him, or put them aside for the time being, and wait for him to solve the problems here.
"The situation here is not very good, as the telegram to you said, the shore artillery that we did not put on the shore is now suffering a lot of losses, and the number of warships sent by the devil this time is a bit large, and the cities along our line are unable to localize the power of the naval guns, basically out of the situation of passive beating."
The two also knew what the most urgent thing was now, so they didn't ask him how he came here, and directly described the situation here.
"Then have you organized the people to start evacuating as I said in the newspaper?"
"It's very difficult, many people are reluctant to leave, even though the devils bombard every day, they are also unwilling to leave."
"Then you didn't make the situation clear to them, and you will probably die if you stay."
"Having said that, the people said that their ancestors lived here and were unwilling to leave their homes."
"If you go and persuade the people to evacuate quickly, tell them that this evacuation is temporary, and we promise that we will let them return to their hometowns within a month. Regardless of whether we can do it later, we will escort the people away safely first. ”
"Alright, let's try again."
After that, Chen Hu and Chief of Staff Xu immediately took those political cadres to explain to the people from door to door, in addition to the Jiujiang Headquarters, and made assurances, hoping that they could understand the difficulties of the troops and temporarily evacuate here.
As a result, don't say it, the people in these counties are still quite reasonable, and they have heard that they are not in trouble now, but they can be promised to return to their hometowns within a month. Because the Flying Fox had a great reputation in this area before, and it was also very trustworthy after the capture of Jiujiang, the people chose to believe them for the time being, and began to pack up their things one after another, and began to follow those political cadres to evacuate the county.
Chen Hu and Chief of Staff Xu were very busy, but Chen Jinghui didn't pay attention to them. He stood alone on the city wall and observed the devil warship on the river with a telescope.
From the binoculars, it can be clearly seen that there are more than a dozen devil warships parked on the river, and two of them are already smoking. About a kilometer away from the Devil Battleship, you can faintly see some branches. Chen Jinghui judged that these devil warships that were far away should be transport ships, and if the devils want to attack their Forte from here, they will definitely not be able to rely on the warships that only rely on the fleet, and they will definitely need infantry to land, and those ships behind them are very likely to be devil infantry.
"It's not good, let the commissar hide them, quickly."
He suddenly discovered that a devil reconnaissance plane had appeared over the Yangtze River, and it was approaching in the direction of Jiujiang. If the reconnaissance plane discovers that the people are retreating in large numbers, they may be bombarded with naval artillery with the temperament of a devil. Just in case, Chen Jinghui immediately asked his guards to inform Chen Hu and Chief of Staff Xu, and asked them to take the people to hide first.
Boom, boom
Sure enough, half an hour after the devil's reconnaissance plane flew over Jiujiang, the devil's naval artillery really bombed the road where the people had evacuated.
"Well, little devil, there's really no humanity at all."
Seeing that the devil was really against a civilian opponent, Chen Jinghui punched the city wall angrily, leaving a trace of blood on the city wall. He gritted his teeth in his mouth and scolded the devil a few words.
"Give me all the shore artillery positions along the Yangtze River."
Seeing that there was no humanity for Zi like this, Chen Jinghui decided to fight back. Even if you can't take the devil's warship, it can attract the firepower of the devil's warship and cover the evacuation of the people, so as to buy time for evacuation.
"I'm Chen Jinghui, I now order you to aim all the shore guns at the first three of the devil warships, and give me a hard blow, don't care about the loss of the shore artillery. The cannon is gone, and I'll make it up for you later. ”
The reason why Chen Jinghui aimed all the shore guns at the first three ships in the devil's fleet was because he saw the flag on the devil's battleship, and the second battleship was the devil's flagship, that is, the command ship.
"Yes, all the guns are aimed at the first three warships of the devil, and they will bombard him."
The commanders of several artillery positions along the line were a little surprised when they heard that it was Chen Jinghui, they did not expect Chen Jinghui to come to the front line. With Chen Jinghui's arrival, those artillerymen seemed to have found the backbone, and one by one began to loudly repeat Chen Jinghui's orders, and then hung up the phone to prepare for the bombardment of the devil warship.
Boom, boom, boom
Suddenly, several artillery positions along the Jiujiang River remembered the sound of artillery at the same time, and dozens of shells immediately converged on the first three battleships of the devil from different directions. A few seconds later, the dense cannonballs smashed into the devil's battleship like huge raindrops, making a rumbling sound.
"Baga, quickly turn the muzzle of the cannon and knock out the shore cannon of the man for me."
Seeing that the enemy was once again concentrating his fire on the three warships in front, the commander of the devil's fleet immediately became anxious, and he should be on the third warship for himself. He immediately ordered all warships to turn their guns, temporarily abandon the plan to organize the escape of the enemy's civilians, and began to concentrate their fire on all the shore guns exposed by the enemy.
Boom, boom, boom
After all, it takes time for the warship's guns to turn and debug, so just as they turned the muzzles, the second round of the Flying Fox shore guns flew over again. As always, the first three warships were still attacked, and almost all the shells hit these three warships.
Among them, the second warship was hit the most, the main guns in front of the warship had been completely blown up, and the front deck was also blown out of a shock, and it was estimated that if it was hit again, it would probably sink.
"Yaga, let it retreat quickly, quickly."
In order to keep the battleship from sinking, the Devil Commander immediately ordered the warship to retreat and quickly get out of the battle.
Boom, boom, boom
But just as the second warship turned, the third round of shells flew again.
"No ......"
Seeing that the warship had not yet fully turned, and the enemy's shells were descending again, the devil commander held his head with both hands and shouted a long way. Then I watched the warship that was turning to be concentrated again by the shells, and began to emit thick black smoke, and the front of the warship had begun to tilt and slowly began to sink. And the first warship was also badly damaged, as if the engine had been hit and had stopped on the river.
As for the warship he was on, it was also heavily damaged, both main guns had been blown up, and although there were no big holes in the deck, the cracks could already be clearly seen, and it could not withstand the blow again.
"Inform the political commissar and the chief of staff, let them hurry up and organize the evacuation as soon as possible, the shore artillery will not be able to support it for long."
Seeing that the devil's warships had begun to sink, Chen Jinghui was not happy, because the guns of the devil's other warships had already been turned, and there was not much time left for them.
Boom, boom, boom
As a result, within a few seconds of him giving the order, the devil's warship opened fire, and the huge naval artillery shells began to fly quickly towards a shore artillery position along the Jiujiang River.
"Withdraw, quick."
Sensing the threat of death, the commander of the shore artillery position that was about to be bombed by Northern Europe immediately pulled the artillery and began to withdraw. As soon as they had run five or six paces, the shells of the naval guns hit the position behind them, blowing up the shore guns on the position. And these people were also pushed out by the air flow generated by the explosion of the shell, and many of them died instantly with their internal organs shattered.
The artillerymen who survived did not leave, but turned around and ran to the shore guns that had not yet been blown up, and continued to fire at the devil warship.
Boom, boom, boom
Although one position had already begun to be attacked by devils, the artillery on several other positions did not stop there. They are still aiming at the devil's warships, firing at them, bombing them, and adding more time for the people to evacuate.
"Baga, let me destroy them as soon as possible."
Seeing that the enemy was still stubbornly resisting, the commander of the devil's fleet was also angry, and loudly ordered the battleships that could still fight to destroy all the shore artillery along the Jiujiang River as soon as possible.
"Come on, folks, it's safe to enter the woods in front."
The artillery and the devil warship are fighting to the death, and Chen Hu and Chief of Staff Xu are also tired. They gasped and insisted on guiding the villagers to run into a forest outside the city, as long as they entered the woods and had a cover, the devils would not easily find them.
And those people also know that in order for them to be able to evacuate safely. The young lads were gambling with their lives to buy them time to evacuate. Therefore, although they were also very tired, they still gritted their teeth and evacuated to a safe place according to the guidance of those political cadres.
"The report, the commissar and the chief of staff report, the people have basically been evacuated."
"Order the remaining artillery to immediately abandon their positions and evacuate as a whole."
After the artillery held out for several hours, Chen Jinghui finally received Chen Hu's safety report. He didn't dare to delay, and directly ordered those artillery who were still lucky to survive to withdraw as soon as possible.
