Because of technical and material factors, although the Jiguang armored car is imitated from the products of later eras, it is not the same in terms of performance, the most obvious is the protective ability of the armor. Although compared with the armored vehicles of the same era, the armor ability of the Jiguang armored vehicle is quite outstanding, and it can even withstand the strafing of the Makqin heavy machine gun at a certain distance, but it is still powerless in the face of heavy bombs weighing 50 pounds.

The primary bombing target of the Japanese planes was the forts, and it was precisely because of the outstanding protection capabilities of the Huangshan and other forts that all the heavy bombs carried by the Japanese planes in this wave were carried by them.

Under the leadership of Chen Zheyu, the soldiers were quite desperate, but they were already at a natural disadvantage, so after a quarter of an hour of the war, they still failed to shoot down an enemy plane.

"Evil Sect! Listening to Liu Kui, the commander has shot down the planes of the little devils with his rifle in Renqiu, how can we not defeat one of the planes with the intensive firepower of one of our regiments?! Chen Zheyu was angry, and at the same time quite unwilling.

They were the first to come into contact with the Japanese planes, but it was the air defense troops on the Huangshan Fort who made the first contributions. Because of yesterday's heavy losses, Ouyang Yun had to face an embarrassing situation when making operational arrangements in the early morning: there was a serious shortage of air defense weapons. In desperation, the air defense capability of several batteries such as Huangshan had to be lowered, and the original configuration of eight antiaircraft guns and 12 antiaircraft machine guns now retains only four antiaircraft guns and eight antiaircraft machine guns. However, considering that the battery was the most important target for protection, the most advanced anti-aircraft guns remained in the battery, which were equipped with an automatic reloading system, and theoretically reached a staggering rate of about 380 rounds per minute.

In charge of the air defense of the Huangshan Fort was a major named Xue Ming.

Xue Ming was originally a battalion commander of the air defense unit of the Second Division, and he had several hundred people under his command, but because the casualties of the troops in yesterday's battle were too large, the size of the troops he commanded now was only equivalent to a company.

Xue Ming has quite a lot of combat experience. He replaced all the bullets in one of the anti-aircraft machine guns with tracer rounds, and let Wang Haifeng, who had the highest shooting level, act as the main shooter, so that other batteries and shooters could make corrections and references. As Wang Haifeng shot a bullet and a ray of light in the air, other anti-aircraft guns and machine guns followed, and the first enemy plane that broke into the attack range of the fort did not even drop a bomb, and was beaten into a volley and disintegrated, turning into a pile of burning broken copper and iron scattered in all directions.

When the first intruding enemy plane was smashed into the air and disintegrated, on the surface of the Yangtze River, not far from the Huangshan Fort, a faint black dot rose and fell along with the waves. They are naturally the officers and soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Special Operations Brigade led by Ouyang Yun.

In Jiangsu in June, the weather is not very hot, especially in the morning, the temperature is only about seven or eight degrees. The soldiers had been fighting in the water for several hours last night, and their physical strength was very depleted, and if they were soaked in the water again at this moment, even the iron beaters could not stand it for a long time. Many people are already blue and purple at the moment, if it weren't for their physical fitness is really strong, I think some people will not be able to stand it and fall. The reason why Ouyang Yun insisted on leading the team in person was, on the one hand, because of the importance of the stakes, and he was not at ease; On the other hand, it is because of individual heroism. However, judging from his current situation, he obviously thought about this matter too simply, and of course, it is not ruled out that he imagined his physical fitness too well. At first, it was fine, but after half an hour, his body reacted - snot and tears began to come out on their own, and he began to tremble.

Regarding Ouyang Yun's insistence on taking risks personally, whether it was the officers and soldiers of the Xuebing Army or Chen Shaokuan and other people from the Admiralty, everyone was opposed. Liu Kui and the single male almost tied him up directly. Of course, Ouyang Yun's personality determines that everyone's opposition is invalid. In desperation, Liu and Shan were guarding him on the left and right, and Shan saw his embarrassment and said, "Commander, you better go up first, right?" It's too dangerous, it looks like your body can't bear it......" Before he finished speaking, many soldiers around him let out an exclamation, and the two of them followed everyone's gaze and saw the fire that exploded.

"Well played!" Ouyang Yun waved his fist and shouted!

Liu Kui said: "Who is in command of the Huangshan Fort, this kid has a set!" Use tracer bullets as a guide to dispatch all anti-aircraft firepower, and hit it really accurately! ”

"This experience is worth summing up and promoting! Liu Kui, you help me keep an eye on it, when this battle is over, I want to meet him! ”

"Yes!"

"Commander, the enemy ships are moving. It seems that it was an attempt to help the aircraft clear anti-aircraft fire with artillery! At this time, a wolf tooth warrior in charge of liaison reported to Ouyang Yun.

The Japanese ships stopped about thirty kilometers from the fortress battery. It was apparently intended to wait for the air force to eliminate the threat of the batteries before attacking the national fleet. However, due to the strong anti-aircraft fire of the battery, with the first wave of attack, the Japanese planes lost four in just ten minutes, and the Japanese Second Fleet could not hold its breath and slaughtered it violently, wanting to help the air force.

Ouyang Yun was very excited when he heard the news, and immediately gave an order: "Hurry up and contact Commander Li and ask him to get the location of L-19." ”

The communications corps began to telegraph contact, and soon Li Hansoul called back to inform him that he had grasped the movements of the Japanese Second Fleet, and that the two L-19s were on their way to fly, and it was estimated that they would arrive in an hour.

Ouyang Yun calculated the time and confirmed that an hour later was the time of low tide, and his hanging heart was completely relaxed. He then ordered several soldiers in the role of messengers to relay the news to each of the combat teams, setting a time for forty-five minutes after the exile of the gasoline barrels.

At this moment, the air-ground offensive and defensive battle centered on the Huangshan Fort was going to the most tragic time, and with the addition of the two subsequent Japanese aircraft formations, the air defense units of the Cadet Corps began to suffer casualties again, among them, the Chen Zheyu armored regiment, which was used as cannon fodder, suffered the most painful blow, and three tanks and eleven armored vehicles were blown up in just a quarter of an hour.

After shooting down an enemy plane, Zhang Dayou was swept away by a condescending machine-gun bullet from the Japanese plane and fell in a pool of blood. And Chen Zheyu was also crushed because the armored car he was riding in was overturned and his left arm was broken.

After receiving the latest information provided by Li Hansoul, the national navy fleet also came out of the military port. In order to achieve the purpose of attracting Japanese firepower, they formed several small combat formations around several batteries, and also joined the ranks of resisting the bombing of Japanese aircraft. Not surprisingly, after receiving this information feedback, the Japanese immediately accelerated the speed of their Second Fleet and slaughtered it in a mighty manner.

When the time reached a quarter past ten, the Japanese ship finally appeared in Li Hansoul's telescope, he roughly estimated the distance, and immediately sent a telegram to Ouyang Yun to inform him of the news. At this time, Ouyang Yun and the others were already banishing the gasoline barrels.

In order to ensure that the chains composed of these gasoline barrels could lock the Japanese ships, the length of each chain was basically controlled at about 50 meters, and a total of about 15 gasoline barrels were tied to them, of which five were fully loaded and ten were empty. When the appointed time came, the soldiers on the shore first cut the fixed rope, and then the teams worked together to cut the stones and other heavy objects hanging from the chains, and began to divide the entire chain of gasoline barrels into sections according to the marks that had been made before......

While the fighters in the river were carrying out this operation, the soldiers on the shore began to fire smoke bombs with mortars in front of them, and soon the entire river seemed to be foggy, and the visibility was reduced to less than 20 meters.

Ouyang Yun personally cut the rope that hung one stone, and then climbed onto another rope. The purpose of this rope is for the soldiers to go ashore after performing their mission. However, due to the rapid flow of this section of the river, the accident he tried to prevent still happened—twenty minutes later, when the roll call of the soldiers who were carrying out the water operation was over, he was told that a total of three people were missing, including Xiao Changwu, a battalion commander of the Dadao Regiment.

Most of the officers and men of the Wolf's Tooth Special Operations Brigade were taken down to change their clothes and rest. A few people, including Ouyang Yun and Shan Renxiong, came to a fortification set up by the river, and a few people looked into the distance with binoculars through the peephole, waiting for the most exciting moment.

Another twenty minutes or so passed, and finally a roar sounded in the sky, different from the sound of the Japanese motor—"It's our L-19!" Liu Kui said with some excitement, and then drilled his head out of the peephole and tried to look at the sky. However, due to the use of smoke grenades, not only did the smoke cover the river, but many of them drifted over the fortifications, affecting his vision, and he did not see the huge figure of L-19.

On the river, the Japanese ships were only about 10 kilometers away from the Huangshan Fort. At this distance, both sides can shell each other, but the accuracy is not easy to say - because of the smoke cover, it is not nice to say, and it is difficult to achieve an accurate hit without considerable luck.

The plan of "burning the ship" is no secret to the people of Jiangyin Fortress. Therefore, the Huangshan Fort remained silent in accordance with the operational requirements. The task of igniting the gasoline drums was entrusted to two L-19s. The task of guiding them to carry out precision bombing was handed over to a team of the Wolf Tooth Special Exhibition Brigade to complete.

It was the first battalion commander Xiao Yat who led this team to carry out this mission, and they became the only ones in the Cadet Army who had the honor to directly watch the grand scene of "burning the ship".
