Chapter 224: Crossing the River 1
"Baga, we can't retreat, absolutely not."
Of course, the commander of the devil's fleet knows his current situation, but when he came, he had a military order, and if this sneak attack was unsuccessful, he would have to go to Okamura Ninji. So at this moment, he would rather die on the battlefield than go back to seppuku.
"Baga, pop, do you want to bury the real fleet here, you are the sinner of the empire."
Seeing that the fleet commander still refused to retreat, the rear admiral immediately became angry. He went straight up and gave the fleet commander two slaps, and at the same time buttoned him up with a big hat.
"Baga, you dare to talk to me like this."
Seeing that a major general staff officer dared to hit him, he also became angry and directly pulled out his command knife.
"Baga, come here, take the commander down to rest. Order the fleet to retreat immediately and retreat to a safe area, quickly. ”
The devil's fleet was on the verge of life and death, and this rear admiral's staff officer directly put the fleet commander under house arrest, and then ordered all the remaining warships in the fleet to start retreating.
The remaining devil warships immediately changed course after receiving the order, and then quickly withdrew from the combat area. As for the warships that had begun to sink, or lost power, and the soldiers on the river, they did not pay attention.
"Report, observation post report, four warships of the devil's fleet have quickly withdrawn from the battlefield."
"Okay, order the navy to catch up. But beware, you can only chase a distance of five nautical miles, and then you have to go back. Chen Jinghui said.
Then the few warships of the Flying Fox quickly dispatched from the hidden point next to the island and began to chase the warships fleeing from the devil at full speed. As soon as the range is reached, they immediately open fire. Although they also know that it is difficult to hit each other at night, they just want to scare the devils and make them hide far away.
"Report, we ......"
"How about it, is our sneak attack successful, and has the Flying Fox Jiujiang line been completely destroyed."
In the Wuhan battle room of the Nanjing devil, the staff officer came to Okamura Ningji's side. As soon as he opened his mouth, Okamura Ninji interrupted him and asked wishfully.
"This ...... Your Excellency Commander, the early stage of our sneak attack went well, but ......"
The staff officer began to squeak, because this sneak attack was what he had been following, and now that it had failed, he didn't dare to think about what the consequences would be.
"Yaga, what is it, say it quickly."
Seeing the staff officer's squeaky speech, Okamura Ninji immediately had a bad premonition, so he immediately asked.
"I'm sorry Your Excellency, Commander, but I'm incompetent. Our sneak attack was a complete failure, and the entire fleet suffered very heavy losses. The staff officer bowed his head and said.
"Baga, Baga, lala...... Why, why is that? ”
Hearing the result of the defeat, Okamura Ninji got everything on the table to the ground, and then angrily pointed at the staff officer and asked the specific reason for the failure.
"Hai, but our plan was leaked ahead of time, so our fleet was ambushed as soon as we reached the target location." The staff officer replied.
"Baga, go and investigate immediately, I will break the body of the person who leaked the secret into ten thousand pieces."
Okamura Ninji raised his hands and shouted angrily, he was so angry, his own elaborate plan was leaked, and other plans were also in danger of leaking in the future.
"Order the artillery on the island to immediately adjust their positions, and order the marines to be ready to seize the beach."
"Order the other divisions to begin boarding at once, and boarding must be completed before dawn."
Although Okamura Ningji was very angry, Chen Jinghui was busy at the moment. The fleet attacked by the devils was completely crippled and has been withdrawn. He immediately began to implement his plan to cross the river, and began to order all the troops preparing to cross the river to start preparations.
He made such a hasty deployment because he was afraid that the devils would increase their troops on the other side of the river, thus increasing the difficulty of crossing the river. Moreover, he had another meaning in doing so, that is, after crossing the river, he contained the devils from attacking the troops in Wuhan and reduced the pressure on the Wuhan National Army.
"Hurry, hurry, get on board, hurry."
The troops preparing to cross the river began to mobilize urgently, they got out all the boats they had hidden before, and then began to arrange for the troops to board the boats, and at the same time make preparations for the attack on them.
"Quick, get all these guns over there, quick."
"All the Marines began to move towards the back of the island, ready to board, quickly."
The island's artillery and marines were also operating nervously, and the landing perils docked to the south of the island had moved to the back, ready for the marines to board and then prepare to cross the river.
"Report, all troops are ready."
At about half past four in the morning, Zhang Erzhu, commander of the First Division, reported to Chen Jinghui.
"Okay, let them all be well prepared to cross the river, and launch the battle of crossing the river on time at six o'clock in the morning."
"Yes"
"Slowly, order the Air Force to be combat-ready from now on and be ready to reinforce the troops crossing the river at any time."
"Yes"
Zhang Erzhu received two orders, and immediately turned around and went to the newspaper room to convey the two orders.
"Send a report to Chief of Staff Xu in Nanchang, ordering the troops of the Nanchang defense line to immediately storm the defense line of Zhejiang and Fujian, and fight as much hatred as they can."
At half past five in the morning, Chen Jinghui suddenly issued a combat mission to the troops of the Nanchang defense line.
Boom, boom, boom
After receiving the order, the troops of the Nanchang defense line immediately sent troops of varying numbers to start a fierce attack on the devils, and all the artillery fire that could be used was activated, and the devils who were blown up fled in all directions.
"It is reported that the defense lines of Fujian and Zhejiang were fiercely attacked by flying foxes, and they suffered heavy losses."
After receiving the reports from Fujian and Zhejiang, the combat staff officers on duty at night immediately ran to Okamura Ningji's bedroom and reported the situation to him.
"Yaga, order them to resist me."
Okamura Ninji was awakened by this sudden battle report, and began to hurriedly put on his clothes and head to the war room. He had to understand the situation before making a decision.
"Order all the troops who crossed the river to start crossing the river."
However, Chen Jinghui, who was in Jiujiang, did not care about the battle situation of the Nanchang defense line, and directly ordered all the troops crossing the river to start crossing the river at six o'clock.
At the sound of an order, the troops that had already been prepared in the four counties of Pengze, Mukou, Jiujiang, and Ruichang began to appear on the river with large and small boats. From above, it is densely packed like ants. They began to slide the boat and began to head across the river.
Crash......
Ten minutes later, the landing boat opened its hatch on the river, and the marines who were about to seize the beach put the small boats they had prepared one after another on the river, and then began to row the small boats towards the opposite bank.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry."
As soon as the Marine Corps boats hit the river, the company platoon commanders at the grassroots level began to urge the soldiers to speed up their rowing. It was early in the morning, and they had to get as close to the other side as possible while the devils were still confused, and it was best to land directly on them.
Hurry up and ...... Wow...... Wow......
The Marines rowed their boats on the other side of the river, their oars rowing across the sleeping waters.
"What's that, Baga, enemy attack."
Bang bang bang......
The devils patrolling the riverside in the early morning patrolled and spotted the floating boats. At first they didn't know what it was, but as the ship got closer, they could clearly see a group of armed men driving the boat towards it. Seeing this, they immediately became nervous, and at the same time took out their guns and began to shoot at the boats on the river, so as to alert the people on the position.
"It's not good, the devil found out, hurry up, hurry."
As soon as the shots rang out, the possibility of a covert landing was gone. The soldiers pointed their guns at the devils on the opposite shore and began to attack while rowing hard.
Da-da-da, da-da-da
The machine gun in the bow of the ship began to fire, and countless bullets began to fly towards the devil patrol who opened fire.
Tweet ......
The bullets hit the beach, and the frightened ghost patrols quickly retreated, and within two minutes they withdrew to their positions by the river.
"What's the situation, who shoots?" The commander of the devil on the position asked.
"Report to the captain, there are many small boats on the river, and they are all armed men of China." The soldier who fled replied.
"Nani, Baga, sound the alarm, quick."
Hearing such a report, the devil squadron leader immediately raised his binoculars to observe the surface of the river. This sight directly startled him, and the dense black spots on the river surface were approaching here.
Woo...... Get into position, quick.
The alarm sounded, and the devils who had not yet gotten up got up one after another and began to enter the position, preparing for the arrival of the enemy.
"Shoot, shoot."
Da-da-da, da-da-da
Boom Boom Boom ......
The enemy on the river hit the firing range, and the devil's position immediately burst into gunfire, and countless bullets and shells flew towards the river.
Tweet ...... Rumble...... Wow......
Bullets and shells hit the water, and suddenly columns of water of different sizes appeared on the surface of the river. There were even bullets that hit the hull directly, directly knocking out several potholes in the hull.
Rumble...... Yes......
A shell hit a moving landing ship, and the wooden hull was immediately shattered, and the fighters on it were dead and wounded, and they fell on the river one after another.
"Quick, speed up, attack, quick. The hospital ship in the rear of the comrades immediately saved people, quickly. ”
One of the regimental commanders in charge of the beach rush saw that some of the boats had been blown up and began to urge the remaining fighters to speed up the attack. At the same time, the medical ship responsible for the aftermath of the rescue was notified to the rear, because not all the fighters on the river died, and if they were not treated in time, they might really die.
"Yaga, shoot, shoot."
Boom Boom Boom ...... Da-da-da-da
Seeing that the enemy was still approaching despite being so strongly blocked by himself, the commander of the devil was also angry.
