Chapter 432: An Unexpected Victory
Wu Xiaoliang was pressed to the ground by the soldiers, and was protected by two bloody bodies, he was not struggling, but let them do it, at that time there was an argument in the world, the navy must not confront the fortress head-on, because it would die very miserably, as a result, more than 30 years ago, the Japanese Navy practiced, the result was the total annihilation of the Beiyang Naval Division, the First Sino-Japanese War China threw its face to Mars, since then it also laid the Japanese Navy to ignore the practice of Chinese fortresses, he is to break this convention, Make the Japanese pay for their hubris.
The cruisers on the Yangtze River were still firing at the fortress guns, and after a few rounds, the Japanese ships suddenly turned their guns and concentrated all their fire on the fortress guns, perhaps their commanders realized that as long as they eliminated the only fortress guns first, the soldiers in the city would be fat on the chopping block, and they would be taken from them.
Of course, Wu Xiaoliang did not have the certainty of victory, in terms of probability, the two warships fired at each other, and two people threw dice to bet on the same, the person with the highest point wins, the fortress artillery under the city of Nanjing and the Japanese cruiser in the Yangtze River is the same, the comparison is luck, if the fortress artillery and the Japanese cruiser are destroyed first, he has nothing to say, but if the cruiser is sunk first, then the face of the Japanese army will be lost.
"Boom,."
The fortress cannon hit the Japanese ship for the second time, and the fire on the ship that had been extinguished was once again revived, Wu Xiaoliang lay behind the female wall, and one of the turrets of the current Japanese ship could not be rotated and stopped working.
But the retaliation of the Japanese ships was also more violent, a full five salvos, the fortress on the river bank fell into the shrapnel and smoke of gravel, everyone was looking forward to the fortress artillery firing again, showing its might, however, Wu Xiaoliang had a problem, an ominous premonition hit his heart, several times to shoot down, Wu Xiaoliang showed a rule, every three salvos of the Japanese ship, the fortress gun only fired once, and this time the Japanese ship has fired five salvos, the fortress gun did not even move at all, he was worried that the fortress gun had a problem.
The Japanese ships fired two more salvos, but the fortress artillery still did not move, and this time even Li Zejun realized that there seemed to be a problem with the fortress artillery, and just when everyone was in doubt, He Yingqin, who had been pushed down early in the morning, climbed the city wall again.
"What's going on, how did the fortress cannon stop."
Seeing the posture of the city's big eyes and small eyes, he suddenly reacted, and the fortress cannon was a problem.
The battle fell short.
He Yingqin did not approve of the use of force against Japanese ships, and always hoped to settle the dispute peacefully with the Japanese, so that Wu Xiaoliang seized the opportunity, he didn't say much, because one accidentally had the possibility of being slandered as a traitor, but now the situation is different, the fortress artillery is silent, and the city of Nanjing will inevitably be bombarded by the Japanese ships without scruples, and even send battleships to shell China, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties.
Thinking of this, He Yingqin shuddered, if this is the case, Nanjing is afraid that it will suffer a catastrophe that has not been encountered in a century, and the political responsibility for this disaster must be borne by Wu Xiaoliang, because it was he who advocated firing, without considering the actual situation at all, and ordered the fortress artillery to sink the Japanese ship at any cost, and it was his reckless decision that brought a devastating blow to this ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, so he even had to be tried by a military court.
He Yingqin was imagining that the fortress cannon opened fire again, and after the rumbling sound, the city once again burst into long-lasting cheers, and this cheering wave also set off a ** again with the fortress cannon shells accurately hitting the Japanese cruiser.
The fire on the Japanese cruiser exploded dozens of meters high, and the rear main turret was blown directly into the sky, and the fire on the hull of the ship exploded one after another, and it was obvious that the gun hit the ammunition depot below deck, thus causing the explosion.
Wu Xiaoliang knew that this Japanese cruiser was finished, and the victory came so suddenly, he was not as excited as he was expecting before, He Yingqin on the side was dumbfounded, he couldn't imagine that the shape was suddenly reversed unacceptable, in addition to the joy and excitement of victory, there was also a faint small disappointment in his heart, what was he disappointed, and he tried to avoid this question in his heart.
However, He Yingqin was even more worried, a heavy cruiser was sunk by the Yangtze River, how could the Japanese Navy, which was extremely face-saving, give up the opportunity for revenge, and would inevitably send warships on a large scale to take revenge on China and the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties.
He Yingqin aside, everyone in the city, including Wu Xiaoliang, was extremely excited, this was an unexpected victory, but also a rare victory, Wu Xiaoliang and the soldiers of the 57th Division cheered at the same time, how Yingqin was also aware of the crisis that this victory might bring.
The Japanese are almost certain that they will retaliate, so they must be fully prepared to minimize the losses, fortunately, the Yangtze River is not suitable for tens of thousands of tons of battleships, the Japanese may send out heavy cruisers, that is, light cruisers, these two warships have a common weakness, that is, thin armor, small caliber of artillery, fortress guns in the face of such warships still have the strength to fight.
The sharp-eyed soldier pointed to the river again and shouted: "Look, the little devil sailors have all jumped into the sea, hurry up and set up heavy machine guns, and they all suddenly kill them." ”
Wu Xiaoliang hurriedly stopped: "No, you have to stay alive, and immediately send a boat to save people." ”
The herald promised, and trotted down the city to deliver the order.
He Yingqin coughed dryly, all the drafts that had been prepared were invalidated, and it was impossible to hold Wu Xiaoliang accountable, not only was it impossible, but I was afraid that Chairman Jiang would reward him heavily when he found out.
"Weizhong is really the pillar of the country."
After a perfunctory sentence, he really didn't know what to say, so he had to leave the city and go back to prepare to send a telegram to Jiang Zhongzheng to report the sudden artillery battle of Nanjing.
After He Yingqin left, Wu Xiaoliang looked at the Yangtze River again, the entire cruiser had sunk most of the time, only the bridge and mast were still exposed on the water, and were sinking to a degree that the human eye could see, and after a moment, he saw the soldiers of the 57th Division driving small boats, sailing to the periphery of the cruiser, and began to salvage the Japanese naval sailors who had fallen into the water, many people did not want to get on the Chinese ship, and they no longer struggled, took out their pistols and drank bullets to commit suicide, of course, there were also people who boarded the boat with lingering fears and saved a small life.
Wu Xiaoliang saw this and knew that today's war had completely ended, but his heart had already flown to the Songhu battlefield, and he didn't know how Zhang Zhizhong's Fifth Army fought.
