Chapter 286: The Japanese Army's Great Retreat from Shanghai

"Lao Liu, Lao Zhou succeeded, the enemy's flagship was seriously damaged, or it won't be long before it will definitely sink to the bottom of the sea", Lao Chen felt a sour feeling in his heart, his comrades-in-arms exchanged their lives for victory, although it was sad, it was worth it.

"Then Nanyun Zhongyi must be on the Longxiang, I'm afraid they are in a hurry to change ships, killing him will definitely deal a major blow to the morale of the fleet", Lao Liu's eyes shot a gleam, "This time, it's up to me."

After speaking, he drove his fighter plane towards the Longxiang, Lao Chen was stunned, and smiled with relief, this will, he will not feel lost anymore, because he will not be alone, and will soon go to another world to meet his comrades.

Knowing the fact that the sinking of the Longxiang had become ironclad, Nanyun Zhongyi did not dare to stay any longer, and immediately ordered someone to put a spare dinghy to prepare to change ships, suddenly, the army on the ship screamed again, and then, there was another loud sound, the Longxiang shook suddenly, the explosion continued, the fire burned ragingly, the port side was hit again, and the hull of the ship tilted sharply to the left.

"Commander, it's too late, leave the ship quickly", Nanyun Zhongyi's chief guard roared angrily, couldn't care so much, immediately picked up Nanyun Zhongyi and ran to the side, at this time, the small spare boat had just been put down, the captain of the guard greeted several people on the boat, and quickly tied a long rope around Nanyun Zhongyi's waist, and several soldiers worked together to put him down, and the personnel on the boat quickly took him over and put him on the boat.

"Hurry up, let the general go first", the chief of the guard didn't care about his identity, he pulled the official and threw it down, and after putting two more people, he didn't dare to let the boat below delay the time, "Get out of here quickly."

As soon as Nanyun Zhong knew that as soon as the Dragon Xiang sank, there would be a big whirlpool, and at that time, I was afraid that this small boat would not be able to escape the fate of being involved.

In desperation, Nan Yunzhong watched more than a thousand imperial soldiers and the Dragon Xiang sink into the sea together and did not have time to ask for help.

When Lao Liu saw a small boat coming down from the Longxiang, he knew that it was probably the commander of Xiao Yueben, and immediately rushed towards it desperately regardless of his own danger, and the surrounding ships were also crazy, this Yan Huang Army didn't take the Great Imperial Army seriously, do you think only you are not afraid of death? Immediately, two Type 96 carriers rushed over from there, surrounded Lao Liu, and even collided directly, as if they were going to die with Lao Liu's fighters.

But Nanyun Zhong was fine, Lao Liu was unwilling to fight with Xiao Yueben's fighter, and worked hard to break free from the entanglement of the two planes with his high-tech skills, Lao Liu's heart was ruthless, and he rushed towards the lonely boat at an ultra-low altitude at sea level, Nanyun Zhong broke out in a cold sweat, these Yan Huang troops did not kill themselves and swore not to give up.

When Lao Liu rushed to the dinghy only a few hundred meters, suddenly I didn't know where to shoot a stray bullet, just hit the left wing, the side of the plane, the left wing went deep into the sea water all of a sudden, was broken by the strong resistance, because the height was too low, Lao Liu didn't have time to pull up, the plane from time to time wiped the sea water forward, but Lao Liu was too unwilling, at the moment of falling into the sea, he drove the speed to the maximum, violently pulled the plane, even if the plane exploded, he also wanted to explode as close to the dinghy as possible, so, There is also the possibility of killing Nagumo Tadaichi again.

However, due to a dozen insertions in the middle, the two planes also took the opportunity to catch up, shooting frantically at Lao Liu, in this sea, he couldn't dodge at all, the fuselage was full of bullet holes, the fuel tank was also hit, and the gasoline flowed into the sea with a roar.

The fuselage began to smoke, Lao Liu ignored it, roared angrily, and continued to rush towards the dinghy that changed the direction of travel.

After rushing out of nearly 100 meters, the plane finally couldn't withstand the explosion, bringing up a huge column ......of water, and the air waves swept away, directly blowing Nanyun Zhong, who was standing unsteadily on the boat, into the sea, and he couldn't swim, he drank several mouthfuls of seawater, and shouted for help, and several soldiers immediately jumped into the sea to scoop him up.

"This Yan Huang Army is too terrifying", Nan Yunzhong was shocked in his heart, and secretly said that this Yan Huang Army not only has courage, courage, but also ruthlessness, not only against the enemy, but also against himself.

Following the Longchamp, the aircraft carrier Chun Yue Maru also followed in the footsteps and was jointly killed by the torpedo planes of the second echelon, killing almost all of the more than 1,000 people on board. Although he won a big victory, Zhuo Yihang did not rush to order a retreat, but led the air force to become more and more courageous, sinking many cruisers and destroyers successively.

Finally, after the return of the Yan and Huang Army, the First Air Fleet had lost two aircraft carriers, one lightly injured, three cruisers, four destroyers, most of the rest were injured to varying degrees, and most of the carrier-based aircraft were also lost.

Although the First Air Fleet was defeated, they also attracted most of the Yan and Huang Army fighters, and bought a lot of time for the base camp to send additional ships to rescue the Shanghai Dispatch Army.

As of October 1st, nearly 1,000 ships of all kinds have sailed to the coast of Shanghai Beach, including fishing boats, pleasure boats, and even backward sailing boats, etc., ready to rescue the Yue army there.

The plane is bombing overhead, the tanks on the ground are impacting, and the king of the palace is miserable, compared to the planes in the sky, the tank cluster on the ground is what makes the king of the palace the most worried, after all, the Yan and Huang army have planes, and the army still has them, although the number is not as large as the Yan and Huang army, but it can also be blocked, but as soon as these hundreds of tanks are active, they are simply moving fortresses, and after all those poor anti-tank weapons and tanks are killed, they can only stare at them. Even if it takes a lot of effort to destroy a batch now, it can't stop the way of this torrent of steel.

In desperation, the king of Chaoxiang Palace had to set up several lines of defense, from Xinchang to Luhu Port, a total of four, to block the Yan and Huang army, and the closest troops to Luhu Port and other coastal areas quickly boarded the ship. Many of the people who rescued them were fishermen or some other professionals who could drive boats who were encouraged by the political axe, and they were also very unhappy when they saw the army so embarrassed, but they still had to ask for help from this defeated army, and no matter how they were, they were always the army of the motherland.

Although the scene was a little chaotic, the army did not make much disturbance, and the troops, under the command of the commander, boarded various ships from the humble wharf in an orderly manner.

"Buzzing ......" Suddenly, with a buzzing sound, dozens of Yanhuang Army planes broke through the layers of blockade and appeared over the wharf, and immediately without saying a word, a large number of bombs were dropped, and the Yue army, which was exposed under the blow, did not have much place to hide, and if they blindly dodged, it would inevitably affect the speed of boarding, and the commander of the Yue army immediately ordered the air defense troops to return fire, and the rest of the troops still boarded the ship.

Immediately, the remaining anti-aircraft units of the Japanese army began to return fire into the air, and the troops on the ground, despite the bombardment from the sky, still boarded the ship in order.

Suddenly, there was an uproar...... Buckets of fuel were spilled down, some were sprinkled on the beach, some were stupid enough to be on the army, and some were sprinkled on the ships, because there were sparks around from time to time, and the fuel was suddenly set on fire.

"Ah......" Some of the soldiers were burned all over their bodies, and now there is no time to save them, if there are few burning parts on their bodies, solve them by themselves, and their whole bodies are on fire, some kind-hearted comrades-in-arms will shoot them directly to relieve their pain, and some even no one cares, they are directly burned alive, and those who are closer to the sea plunge into the sea.

There are also many wooden ships that caught fire and were burned, because the ships are the guarantee of rescue, so once the ship catches fire, whether it is the army or the conscripted Yue himself, they will devote themselves to the rescue without hesitation.

Knowing that the army only retreated by sea, Huang Keqiang naturally would not be satisfied with letting them go, and ordered the main force to attack the area of Xinchang Nanhui from the front, and ordered five divisions to advance from Qingcun and Fengcheng on the flank of the army.

Huang Keqiang ordered the armored troops to be stationed between Liaoyuan and May Fourth, and then quickly drove the main artillery force that had been prepared to Liaoyuan and set up hundreds of artillery pieces of various types.

One hundred Shenzhou Warrior rocket launchers, two hundred 80 mm caliber cannons, howitzers and other field guns were lined up one by one after simple protection, and all the guns were aimed at the shore of Luhu Port.

"Release ......" With an order, hundreds of cannons and rocket launchers were fired in unison, and shells with death flames were fired.

After a few breaths, all the shells fell like raindrops in the small triangular tip area of Luhu Harbor, and some of the Japanese troops who were standing straight waiting to board the ships were directly torn to pieces, and the powerful air waves even lifted some small boats away, and the simple wharf was also blown to pieces, and many ships close to the shore were also hit by bullets and caught fire or ran aground directly, and the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties.

"The enemy's artillery position is nearby, order your troops to destroy it to the death", King Hatoyan of the Asaka Palace roared violently at Yamamuro Munetake, the commander of the 11th Division who was blocking the Yanhuang Army in the Liaoyuan area, and ordered the troops to quickly build an improvised dock to continue boarding.

Yamamuro Sowu was helpless, if he did not drive away the deadly artillery of the Yan and Huang Army, this retreat would be unsuccessful.
