Chapter 431: Yangtze River Artillery Battle

"What. The Japanese ships have sailed into the Yangtze River."

He Yingqin was stunned when he heard the news. At first, he thought that the artillery sound was an exercise of the 57th Division outside the city. Until his subordinates informed him that the Japanese ships were already in the city. He only realized the strict zhòng nature of the question. What's worse is that he doesn't even know anything about the battlefield. Several Japanese warships entered the Yangtze River. Where is the Japanese 6th Army. What was the situation of Zhang Wenbai's Fifth Army on the Songhu battlefield.

One question after another flashed through my mind. Suddenly, the scalp was numb. Cold sweat poured out. He Yingqin is worthy of being a first-class general of the Kuomintang 6th Army. Chief of the General Staff of the National Revolutionary Army. In this situation where the enemy situation is unclear under the city. Quickly calmed down.

"Let's go. Come with me to the wall. Look at the Japanese army eating the bear's heart leopard gall. How dare you go deep alone."

He Yingqin said this, which inevitably led to the suspicion of pretending to be calm and appeasing his subordinates. But the effect of this is very obvious. The colonels of the General Staff did not panic when they saw the Chief of the General Staff. I even have to go to Nanjing City to check the situation in person. They have all returned to normalcy. He said he would go to the city with him.

"Everybody's in place. It's not a big deal. I'll go back when I go. Commissar Wu's 57th Division is on the Yangtze River. If the little devils want to go into the city, they have to see if they agree."

Speaking of the Fifty-Seven Division. He Yingqin suddenly had an extremely strange feeling. I was inexplicably down-to-earth.

Nanjing Chengtou. Black clouds crush the city. The sky is terrible. A downpour can rain down at any moment. Yangtze River in the distance. A huge Japanese ship cruised. The radial naval sun flag on the mast is particularly glaring.

The soldiers at the head of the city had red eyes. How many comrades died under this gun. The soldiers of the 57th Division will never forget the tragic scene when the Japanese naval guns bombarded the Songhu railway defense line. Wu Xiaoliang received information about the Japanese ship at the first time.

After observation. Scout OK. This is nothing more than a cruiser of the Japanese Navy . The significance of deterrence is greater than that of actual combat. Such a single ship could not destroy the defense of Nanjing. Hear this analysis. Many people, including Li Zejun, were visibly relieved. Because on the 6th ground, the 57th Division was never afraid to fight hard with the Japanese army. But on the water, the ** team doesn't even have the strength to fight.

The Japanese ships sailed to the foot of the Chinese capital to show off their might. The squadron had no choice. A deep sense of shame instantly climbed on Wu Xiaoliang's shoulders. We must not allow the Japanese ships to swagger to the city of Nanjing. And then swagger back away.

"Qianting. How well are the fortress guns in the defense area of the 57th Division maintained?"

"The Central Army is blind to those good things. The fortress artillery has a second spring in the hands of our 57th Division. There is no problem with the big iron man in the river. The only problem is that the artillery training for the artillery is not enough. It could be a lot worse on the quasi-head."

The corners of Wu Xiaoliang's mouth hooked up a sneer: "It's good if you can shoot a cannon. Command the fortress artillery to prepare. Target Japanese cruiser in the river. Cum in ten minutes. until it is sunk."

Li Zejun's eyes lit up. Originally, he thought that Wu Xiaoliang only wanted to give a warning to the Japanese ship. But I didn't expect it to be such a happy order. Direct sinking. In the past, the Chinese government has been extremely restrained in responding to foreign military provocations. Even if you suffer a loss, you don't want to offend the foreign army ruthlessly. Only to prevent the dispute from expanding.

He Yingqin's black car arrived at the city of Nanjing. Suddenly, without warning, the earth trembled. This was followed by the deafening sound of cannons. The staff officer who got out of the car first was so frightened that his legs trembled. I stumbled. He Yingqin was also nervous. For a while, my heart didn't rise up. But the feet are quickened. Get off the bus and step up the stone steps of the city wall.

There was a burst of cheers from the city.

"Hit. Hit."

Then there was another wave of disappointment and pity.

He Yingqin wondered. What hit. Why did the soldiers in the city rejoice?

With him ascended to the top of the city. A scene on the river in the distance gave him the answer. It was the fortress guns that were firing at the Japanese ships. I saw Wu Xiaoliang already standing at the head of the city. Then everything is understood. He must have ordered the fortress artillery to open fire.

Originally according to his plan. It's to understand the situation first. Then send people to make contact with the Japanese ships. Consultative negotiation. Keep the conflict to a minimum. It's good now. Fortress artillery fire. It's impossible to negotiate anymore. I can't help but shake my head. Wu Weizhong is reckless. Do you want to pull the party-state into the abyss of foreign wars .

Wu Xiaoliang seemed to feel something. Looking back, He Yingqin actually went to the city to check on the enemy situation in person. I couldn't help but applaud in my heart. Although He Jingzhi works in power schemes. But not a timid person. Otherwise, it would not have been able to stand in the Kuomintang for more than 20 years. Indeed, he has a special point.

"Chief of General Staff Ho came just in time. Xiaoliang, please watch a good show that is rare in a hundred years."

He Yingqin smiled and said, "Weizhong is so elegant. Soldiers are coming to the city. Sit and watch the ants as a game. It's as straight as a lupine scarf Zhuge Kongming." Say it. The smile on his face grew stronger and stronger. It's thick like honey.

Li Zejun had goosebumps all over his body. The so-called honey-bellied sword is nothing more than that.

"Boom"

The fortress cannon fires again. The deafening deafening after the cannon was discharged. It is more clear and intuitive than under the city. He Yingqin only felt numbness on the soles of his feet.

The crowd erupted in cheers again. This time it's enduring.

He Yingqin looked at it. The Japanese ships on the river actually rose thick black smoke. Apparently this artillery hit.

The Japanese ships did not expect the squadron to dare to open fire and return fire. I didn't expect to be hit by one of the two poops. Such a high hit rate is simply a ghost. So I hurriedly adjusted my posture. to get into the best firing position. The first reaction of the Japanese ships was, of course, not to run away. If you are scared away by the two cannons of the Chinese people. This would be detrimental to the honor of the Imperial Navy. It will become the laughing stock of the idiots of the 6th Army.

Therefore, the commander of the Japanese ship ordered the warship to enter the best firing position as soon as it was shot. The main gun and the secondary guns made a salvo. Nanjing city bullet. Gravel and gunpowder smoke flew everywhere. There was a high-explosive shell that fell on the city wall. The soldiers near the point of impact were immediately killed and wounded. Screams came and went.

Li Zejun saw that the situation was not good. Immediately let someone escort Wu Xiaoliang down the city wall. Wu Xiaoliang pushed away the soldiers who were about to escort him down the city. shouted:

"I'm not going anywhere. I stand at the head of this city. I want to see with my own eyes our artillery sink the Japanese ships."

Before the words fell, the sharp-eyed man pointed to the Japanese cruiser on the river and shouted, "Look. The devil's ship is on fire."

Everybody follow the prestige. Really. A dark red fire rose from the smoke of the Japanese ship. It must have been that shot. It's just that we haven't waited for everyone to cheer. The Japanese ships fired another salvo. This time the aim was significantly better than the first salvo. The city of Nanjing suddenly turned into a world of gravel and gunsmoke.
