Chapter 271: Hunting down the Ninth Division
Along the Huai River, there were already countless motorized boats and sailing boats waiting, and Yoshizumi Ryosuke immediately ordered a wing to guard the coastal positions to cover the retreat of the large army, and the rest of the troops immediately and quickly boarded the ships.
In the sky, dozens of fighters of the Yan and Huang Army roared past, dropping one deadly bomb after another, and the annihilation was also frantically strafing, and from time to time there were soldiers who fell on the shore and on the way to board the ship, even if they boarded the ship, they were not necessarily safe.
Since most of these ships were relatively small and did not carry many people, the number of these ships was particularly large, and the air force planes could easily hit their targets, so from time to time some of the ships were hit by bullets and caught fire, and even the soldiers on them were on fire and rushed into the river in terror.......
One by one, the ships were destroyed, and when the Yanhuang Army fighters finished throwing bombs, the place was already in a mess, abandoned ships were everywhere, and the Yue Army had to shrink the ships, which often led to serious overloading of ships, but they were helpless, if they didn't leave here quickly, there was only a dead end to stay.
After a few hours of death, all the intact Yue troops were basically on board, and as for the wounded, many of them were left behind to stop the pursuit of the Yan and Huang troops, which meant that they could be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.
The fast-moving Yan and Huang army also caught up soon after the army successfully boarded the ship, and immediately attacked frantically without saying a word, and the wounded who were left behind by the army were eliminated at the first time, although the army fled, but did not escape out of the range, the soldiers did not care about the waste of bullets, and shot angrily across the river, and from time to time there were also soldiers who fell into the water or died directly on the deck.
"Quick, quick, hurry up and let the artillery prepare for the attack, we will assign them a certain direction......" The artillerymen who came quickly by taking a shortcut also quickly set up the cannons, adjusted the firing position, and began to shoot angrily at the river.
Nearly 100 light and heavy guns opened fire at the same time, and one after another shells fell on the river like rain, or directly hit the Japanese ships, causing a burst of ghosts and wolves to howl.
Under such a blow, the Yue army had no other way but to retreat, they only prayed that the Huai River would not be so wide, and that it would come to an end quickly.
"Xiao Houyi" was also urgently advanced along the Huai River by the officers and soldiers of the Yan and Huang Army, and because of its long range, there was no need to advance to the banks of the Huai River like other cannons.
"Xiao Houyi" was quickly adjusted, quickly aimed, and a huge cannonball was filled in.
"Put", with an order, dozens of fighters violently pressed the launch rocker.
With a familiar explosion, a huge fireball emerged from the cannon, and a huge cannonball that made the sky muffled rushed towards the Huai River.
......A loud scream pierced the sky over the Huai River, and many soldiers heard it clearly, before they could react. Boom ......" The world around it, as if there was only one sound, the entire Huai River seemed to tremble, and any sound from other bullets was muffled by it, and then, countless soldiers rolled down from the boat like dumplings, fell into the Huai River, and sank to the bottom of the river.
A huge column of water tens of meters high rose up, and the powerful storm was like a tornado, directly blowing away the surrounding boats, and the monstrous waves slapped towards the ships not far away like an invisible giant hand, directly slapping them into the bottom of the river.
Some drivers were horrified to find that the engine was directly damaged and could not work, so they could only row the boat by hand while trying to repair it as soon as possible, while some of the nearby wooden boats, unlucky, were directly dispersed, and some of the better ones were also shaken out of the cracks, poured into the water, and sank rapidly, leaving a boat of soldiers crying for help in horror.
Some of the soldiers were thrown into the river, their minds were still dizzy, and when they were awakened by the water, they found that there were no floating objects that could be borrowed around, so they had to roar in horror and slowly sink to the bottom of the river.
A shell made the army not know how many casualties, the power was so powerful, this is the most direct blow to the confidence of the army, they are not satisfied with the efficiency of the engine, they participate in the manual rowing independently, they do not escape the range of the killing god, they do not feel the slightest sense of security.
Yoshizumi Ryosuke's eyes also widened in horror, this was the first time he had faced the power of this super weapon, it was simply an existence against the sky, just now, even a 10,000-ton giant ship couldn't bear it.
With his heart pounding rapidly, Yoshizumi Ryosuke once again ordered his troops to separate the ships as far apart as possible.
In this way, the Ninth Division fled in embarrassment under the farewell ceremony of the Yanhuang Army's artillery and the super strong class of "Xiao Houyi", leaving the river in a mess, full of floating corpses and broken boats, and the wide river had long been stained red with blood.
A group of soldiers who had lost their armor and abandoned their armor finally landed on the other side of the river, there were still many boats emitting black smoke, and some of the helmets and weapons of the Japanese army had been lost, looking quite embarrassed, and the 18th Division, which came to meet on the other side of the river, saw the frightened and uncertain look of the officers and men of the 9th Division, and looked shocked, who made the brave soldiers of the Great Empire so unbearable?
......Hearing this voice, the soldiers of the Ninth Division did not need to explain, their instinctive legs were weak, and they fell directly to the ground, and the arrogant and arrogant Eighteenth Division naturally did not react.
With a "boom", the ground shook.
"Ah......" screamed again and again, the stumps and broken arms flew wildly, the air waves were like a flood, like a hurricane blowing leaves, tearing some of the soldiers into pieces, or blowing everywhere, a huge pit with a radius of 100 meters and a depth of more than 10 meters was like a sinkhole, making people shudder.
The 18th Division, which was farther away, felt as if their hearts were about to stop beating, and now, they finally knew why the 9th Division was like this, and secretly wondered how they survived under such an anti-heaven weapon.
"Where did this thing fly from?" Some people couldn't help but feel a little inexplicable, after all, the surroundings were occupied by the Imperial Army, would the Yan and Huang Army still be stupid to open artillery nearby?
"Don't look for it, they're on the other side of the river," some of the soldiers of the Ninth Division said to their comrades with expressionless faces.
"River, across the river? How many kilometers does that have to be, isn't it a land fighter? Some of the ordinary soldiers were already speechless in shock.
"Get out of here...... "Knowing the true situation, Yue Jun, regardless of his already tired body, began to fly away again, if he stayed here any longer, this would become a target for stupid BB.
Finally stopped in a safe area, the army began to organize the troops, the situation of the ninth division and the 114th division was reported to the Central China Dispatch Army command for the first time, Hata Shunroku took the battle damage report, his palms kept trembling, the 13th Division was almost completely annihilated, the main force of the 114th Division was annihilated, the ninth division suffered more than half of the casualties, and the supplies were almost lost.
"Under the First World War, nearly half of the losses of our Central China Dispatch Army" Hata Junliu sat on his chair and was silent for a long time, he had just taken over the position of commander of the Central China Dispatch Army, and he actually encountered such a defeat, which was the biggest failure in his military career, so he did not make him angry.
