Chapter 137: Bombardment of the Battleship

"Commander, there's something wrong with this, why is it so quiet."

"Yes, division commander, will there be an ambush for the devils."

"Not only that, but the city gates are wide open, and not a single devil guarding the city can see it."

Seeing that Ruichang City was so quiet, several brigade commanders expressed their opinions one after another, expressing their worries that the devil would open the door like this, and that there would be ambushes in the city.

"You have a point, but ...... How do I think the devils are playing empty tricks on us. ”

Although the opinions of several brigade commanders are reasonable, Chen Jinghui always feels that the devils are playing tricks, maybe they are giving them an empty city plan to make them uneasy.

"Commander, I would like to ask for orders to go and investigate."

Now the army is outside the city, but I don't know the situation inside the city, and if I attack the city, I am afraid that I will fall into the devil's plan. Seeing that everyone was very embarrassed, Wang Dabao suddenly stood up and asked for his life, and was willing to take people into the city to investigate.

"Hmmm! If something is wrong, withdraw immediately. ”

"Yes, let's go."

Wang Dabao led a group of soldiers out of the headquarters camp and began to slowly approach the Great Wall of Rui. When they came to the gate of the city and looked into the city, they could see nothing but a few scattered pedestrians in the street.

"Let's go, go in."

After looking at it for a while, Wang Dabao felt that there was no danger in the city, so he quickly led people into the city. After entering the city, they came to a pedestrian.

"Fellow, may I ask where the devils are here?"

"Boss, the devils have all run to the docks."

"Fellow, you're sure."

"Boss, there were indeed a lot of devils here last night, and they were still here in the morning, and we all hid when we were scared. But just two hours ago, all the devils suddenly went to the dock, so we brave people secretly came out to take a look, and found that the devils on the street were gone, and there was not even a single figure. ”

"Okay, thank you, fellow. Rush to the dock immediately to check, quickly. ”

Wang Dabao felt that this ordinary person spoke very sincerely, and there was no sign of lying. So immediately take people to the direction of the dock to see what tricks the devil is playing.

Soon they came to the periphery of the dock and found that a large number of devils had boarded the ship, and there were few devils left on the dock.

"Go and tell the division commander that the devil is going to run."

Da-da-da-da

After sending someone to inform Chen Jinghui, Wang Dabao immediately shot at the devil, wanting to leave the devil behind.

"Baga, the enemy has entered the city, speed up and board the ship, quickly."

Hearing the gunshots, Matsuura Junju's flying fox men had already entered the city, and it was clear that someone had approached the dock. The situation was urgent, and he immediately asked the few remaining men to speed up boarding, and he was about to set sail.

Da-da-da-da

Wang Dabao was also bold, and he slowly wanted to get closer to the dock, and at the same time kept shooting at the boats on the shore to slow down the boarding speed of the devils.

"Baga, fight back, order to sail."

Seeing that the enemy was trying to approach, Matsuura Jun ordered the soldiers who had already uploaded it to return fire in the direction of the gunfire, and at the same time ordered to immediately lift anchor and sail the ship.

Seeing that the ship began to anchor, the last less than 100 devils who were still on the shore were in a hurry, and they all rushed to put them on, and some people were actually squeezed into the water, making a loud noise.

"What's going on in the city, why are you shooting?"

"Division commander, the devil is going to run, and the captain is trying to delay the devil on the boat."

"Damn, it's really an empty city plan, and they all immediately march to the docks."

Hearing the gunshots, Chen Jinghui immediately led people to the city, but met the soldiers who came to report the news outside the city gate, and learned that the devil was ready to abandon the city and flee, so he immediately ordered a rapid march to the dock, hoping to catch up and leave the devil behind.

"Commander, it's me who is incompetent and didn't keep the devil.

When Chen Jinghui and the others felt the wharf, they found that the devil's ship had already left the shore and began to go east along the Yangtze River. And Wang Dabao, who was still trying to stop the devil from escaping just now, came to Chen Jinghui's side and asked Chen Jinghui to punish him.

"Alright, it's not your fault. Since the devil abandoned the city and ran away, we will accept this gift and accept Ruichang City. ”

Seeing that the devil had gone east, Chen Jinghui was also very helpless, he didn't have a warship, so he couldn't stop the devil's departure. Fortunately, the devil did not destroy Ruichang City, saving himself a lot of trouble.

Then Chen Jinghui left a regiment to garrison Ruichang, and then took a brigade of troops into Jiujiang, and the rest of the troops all returned to their original places of residence to repair and standby.

After all the troops left, Chen Jinghui began to take the remaining brigade to tidy up Jiujiang City, rebuild the houses that damaged the people in the previous attack on Jiujiang, and the damaged things were also made or compensated by the troops, and gradually Jiangcheng regained its vitality.

After arranging all this, he began to arrange the city defense of Jiujiang. Jiujiang is a city close to the Yangtze River, and is at the turning point of the Yangtze River.

But since they didn't have ships, in order to ensure that Jiujiang would not be harassed or captured by the devil's ships, he mobilized all the existing heavy artillery along the Jiujiang River, and took the inventory in the military factory that had not yet been distributed and arranged together. He secretly built three heavy artillery positions along the Jiujiang River, distributed his heavy artillery in these places, and kept an eye on the movements on the river.

"Yaga, Matsuura Jun is a stupid pig, and he was defeated so quickly."

After receiving the defeat telegram from Jun Matsuura, Okamura Ninji's lips trembled. He didn't expect that his three and a half divisions went to besiege Flying Fox, and it was almost the same as the annihilation of the entire army, only more than 3,000 people came back, and the rest were all killed on the battlefield.

"Baga, you must not let the flying fox occupy Jiujiang and Ruichang so comfortably. I'll call the navy and ask them to send three warships over and give them a good shot at that flying fox and let them know how powerful it is. ”

Upon receiving Okamura's request, the naval commander immediately sent three frigates into the Yangtze River from the mouth of the Yangtze River and began to march in the direction of Jiujiang.

"Commander, come and see."

Three days later, the brigade commander, who was patrolling the shore, discovered the devil's warship and immediately ran to find Chen Jinghui and pulled him to the riverside to check.

"Huh? It's coming so soon. Hey, hey, hey...... Since you're here, leave something behind and go! ”

Chen Jinghui looked at the three warships of the devil slowly approaching in the direction of Jiujiang with his glasses, he did not feel afraid, but smiled treacherously on the corner of his mouth, and then got up and left.

"Captain, we have arrived at the designated position, and Jiujiang City has entered the firing range."

"Yo Xi, keep getting closer. The people of China did not have a navy at all, so we fought a little closer, so that the people of China could have a good experience of the power of our Imperial Japanese Navy. ”

"Hay, left swing rudder, speed three knots, keep approaching."

The Devil Navy has always been at odds with the Army. This time, the army suffered a great defeat and asked them for the help of the navy, and they immediately agreed. Because they wanted the army to see how their navy made the Shina people bow their heads, so that their naval commanders could be more influential in front of the emperor.

The devil's warship is getting closer and closer to Jiujiang, and gradually it is only a few dozen meters away from the shore. They were afraid that continuing on would put the ship in danger of running aground, so they stopped. Then the guns on the battleship slowly turned, aiming at Jiujiang City.

"Yo Xi, order to go down, and bombard Jiujiang City in a minute."

Seeing that everything was ready, the captain of the devil ordered all the naval guns to be ready, and just waited for him to give the order, and then began to bombard Jiujiang.

Fire, fire, fire

Boom, boom, boom

Just as the devil was about to load the shells into the naval guns, a rumbling cannon sound sounded on the bank of the Jiujiang River. In an instant, dozens of shells flew out of the woods on the shore and headed directly for the devil's warship.

Boom, boom, boom

Shells began to explode around the Devil battleship, causing huge waves on the river. Some individual shells hit the devil's steel battleship, blowing up the devils on the battleship in all directions.

Chirp, boom, boom

Immediately after the second round of shells came again, this time the hit rate was much higher, and the three battleships of the devil were hit by several shells. Although it did not penetrate the battleship, the huge energy generated by the explosion of the shells on the surface of the battleship shook the devils hiding in the battleship and made them unable to stand steadily.

"Baga, there is an ambush, blast them out for me."

After being bombed twice, the captain of the devil ship, who had a firm foothold, immediately ordered the ship's guns to aim at the enemy's artillery positions and open fire, hoping to destroy all the enemy's artillery.

Rumble......

The main guns of the bow of the battleship, which had stabilized a little, immediately turned around and began to fire at the artillery positions on the shore. But since they didn't have a specific position, the first shot was all missed.

"Baga, adjust your position again and kill them."

Through the observation hole, the captain of the devil found that he had not hit, and immediately ordered to adjust the position of the ship's guns and fire again.

Boom, boom, boom

The power of the naval guns is not covered, it is several times stronger than those on the shore. No, a shell landed right next to the second artillery position, and the air wave generated by the explosion directly knocked the cannon that was only seven or eight meters away from it to the ground.

Boom, boom, boom

When the devil counterattacked, the artillery fired, and the speed of firing suddenly increased a little. Then dozens of shells flew towards the devil's battleship again, exploding on the devil's battleship.

Rumble......

The ammunition depot of the battleship in the middle of the devil was unfortunately hit, and the shell frame collapsed, causing the shell to fall to the ground and explode, directly tearing the devil warship in half from the middle and began to sink slowly with black smoke.

"Baga, retreat, quick."

Seeing the loss of one battleship, the captains of the other two battleships asked the helmsman to turn around and begin to retreat. They had to get out of the range of the enemy's artillery as soon as possible, or else they would probably be blown up.
