PS: It's the weekend, the chapter was sent late, sorry sorry

The artillery bombardment had not been five minutes long, and Sun Tao's artillery was set up less than 10 kilometers from Zhenjiang while avoiding the scattered artillery fire of the Japanese army.

"Kill the artillery on the other side!!"

The position, only four artillery pieces were erected, and at the moment when the coordinates were transmitted back, the order to bombard was given.

Rumble!

Four cannons roared, spewing out balls of fire, and four projectiles flew towards their targets.

A few seconds later, there was a loud bang in the distance, and the ground trembled, and the Japanese shelling stopped.

"One more round!"

With the arrival of the second coordinates, the cannon roared again.

Two rounds of effective firing in a row successfully destroyed a position that was still firing shells, although there was no martyrdom, but the Japanese were already frightened, and when the shells fell on the edge of the position, the air wave overturned two 105 guns, blowing away several artillerymen, screamed, and rushed to the dock.

At this time, the wharf was already in chaos, the Japanese army was scrambling to grab the ships, the baggage was still all over the ground, guns, ammunition, food, on the river bank, on the wharf with the la. Scattered all over the place. Horses, breaking free from the carriage with a loud noise, or leaving the place where they were tethered, neighed and galloped in all directions.

Yu Lei's shelling began to extend, firing shells into the river as best he could.

Columns of water rose to the sky, and the waves in the river were agitated, making it impossible for the boats to move, and even the small steamers were swaying in the turbulent water, and were in danger of capsizing at any time.

Still, the motorized boats could move forward, and they struggled to the opposite shore in the rolling waves, emitting black smoke. Everyone knew that they would not go to the other side of the river, when the enemy army was chasing them to the river. They don't necessarily have a chance to go ashore.

Thousands of barges, ferries, and sampans spread out on the river, flowing down the river in the turbulent current. There was no way to rush across the other side, and they all counted on diagonally going down the river. Able to cross the Yangtze River.

As for the struggling overboard on the river, there are probably not many of them who can swim to the other side.

The artillery of Sun Tao's army was being erected, and the convoy had arrived outside Zhenjiang City.

Qu Jun just took ten trucks and saw that the positions along the way were not guarded by Japanese troops, so they directly passed through the city and rushed straight to the river.

Before reaching the river, Qu Jun just saw the heads of people everywhere, and the Japanese soldiers running in a panic everywhere.

He didn't even give the order, holding an anti-aircraft machine gun. Tom Tom began to strafe at the Japanese troops two or three hundred meters away.

The panicked Japanese soldiers also saw the truck in the distance, but they could flee for their lives, leaving them to run to the river.

The bullets of the thick anti-aircraft machine gun whistled and rushed into the crowd, and in an instant, a puff of blood mist sprayed out, and the bullets passed everywhere, and the flesh was shredded by the huge kinetic energy. Flying all over the sky.

Screaming, there will be no in this. Except for the frightened screams and fleeing for their lives who were not hit, those who were hit by bullets no longer need to shout.

As Qu Jungang's first anti-aircraft machine gun was launched, trucks occupied suitable positions, and the soldiers on the vehicles did not hesitate to trigger the anti-aircraft machine guns.

The dense and irresistible barrage of steel barrage swept across the periphery of the dock like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves, and sawdust flew all over the pier.

Lost fighting spirit. The Japanese soldiers, who were only concerned about fleeing for their lives, did not even have the heart to resist, and when they saw the enemy approaching, they jumped into the river one after another like dumplings, and struggled to swim towards the ships in the distance.

The fighters on the follow-up truck were in the midst of tom tom gunfire. Quickly jumped out of the truck, followed by the advancing anti-aircraft machine gun and pounced on the dock.

Yu Lei received that the soldiers on the dock had arrived, so he ordered all the artillery to bombard the river.

Sun Tao's artillery was also erected at this moment, and with the artillery mount of one door, there was no time to adjust the effectiveness of the fire, and the cannon roared non-stop.

One shell after another flew down the river, chasing the boats that drifted downstream.

On the surface of the river, in the continuous fall of hundreds of shells, it was already turbulent, and the water column shot into the sky.

One by one, the boats were blown to pieces, overturned by the waves, and the river was tumbling, and the river was immediately full of debris on the board. One by one, the Japanese soldiers who fell into the water desperately cried for help and struggled, but the huge waves set off by the shells and the waves set off were simply not something that could be resisted by manpower, and the futile struggle was inevitably drowned by the waves.

In the explosion, the mist was filled, and the Qu army who was chasing after him had just taken the lead, the truck drove up the dock and drove onto the riverbank, and the anti-aircraft machine guns sprayed tongues of fire, mercilessly strafing the Japanese troops who had not had time to jump into the water on the riverbank, and strafing the struggling figures in the water.

They were ordered to keep all the Japanese troops who failed to cross the river, not alive, but their ugly souls.

The Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough to come ashore on the other side of the river rescued the soldiers who swam hard but could not get ashore in the waves, and when they saw the tragic situation in the river, they became ferocious, surging with anger, howling, setting up crane guns, putting on mortars, and launching an attack on the opposite pier, trying to stop the killing on the other side.

Rumble!

An artillery shell landed next to Qu Jungang's car, and the truck shook in a burst of air, almost lifting Qu Jungang off the car, and even the anti-aircraft machine gun that was not well installed almost overturned.

Bullets and shelling resulted in damage to several advance fighters, and there was a pause in the firing on the riverbank and on the pier.

". ! ”

Qu Jun just used all his strength to hold on to the shaking anti-aircraft machine gun with the three soldiers, cursed, took out the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Observer! I am the pre-war commander Qu Jungang, I order, give me the shelling of the other side of the river!! Potency shot!! ”

"Yes!"

The observers who had already rushed to the riverbank shouted their orders, and in the mist, they quickly reported the coordinates one by one.

The artillery on Sun Tao's side was in position one by one, bombarding the river alone, overturning those ships, and receiving the coordinates of effective firing one by one, and then the cannon roared.

The Japanese mortars and heavy machine guns on the other side did not build positions at all, but were erected nearby, pouring ammunition at the opposite bank at the fastest speed.

At the moment when they were firing their lives to reload the shells, a seeping whistling whistle pierced through the mist and flew over.

At the moment when they paused in astonishment and looked up at the sky, artillery shells fell violently on the bank of the river dozens of meters away from them.

Rumble!

The mud rose into the sky, and the water droplets shot up, then turned into mist, rolling and drumming with the shock wave.

The ground shook violently, and the Japanese troops near the shore were swept away by the air waves, and the mortars and heavy machine guns all over the ground also staggered. Lost the ability to shoot.

The shelling did not stop firing because the guns on the opposite side stopped, and the first shot hit the ground, followed by a loud bang.

The earth shook like chaff. Clusters of black and red mushroom clouds rose into the sky, and the Japanese troops who were evading in a hurry, and the baggage that had not had time to be transported away, were vaporized in the shelling, and pieces were wiped out.

"Get out of here!!"

"Run!!"

The Japanese army shouted in a panic, and no longer bothered to help the people who fell into the water in the river, and fled to Yangzhou for their lives during the earthquake.

While the Japanese were fleeing, the people who were blown up by the incoming shells turned on their backs. There were no bones left, leaving corpses all over the ground and a mess of baggage, and they left the river bank like a tide.

At the moment when the enemy was shelling the opposite bank, Qu Jun once again held on to the antiaircraft machine gun and fired at the river with a tom.

Ten trucks and a dozen heavy machine guns abandoned by the Japanese on the docks roared, splashing on the surface of the river, and clusters of bright red rose. The surface of the river was red, rolling red foam. Roll down.

It wasn't until the few bullets in the car were cleared that Qu Jun stopped shooting just now. Throwing down the anti-aircraft machine gun, the barrel was already red, he jumped out of the truck and looked out into the river.

At this time, the soldiers who were pursuing strafing along the river stopped their pursuit of the lower reaches of the river at the moment when the shells fell again on the river. On the river. There was not a single intact ship left, and even those on the other side of the river, the ships on the dock, were all blown up.

On the river, corpses. Pieces of flesh and blood rolled in the crimson water, drifting down the river, in the fragments of the boat, and drifting downstream. It is estimated that in a few days, the corpses that sank into the river will be sent out and resurfaced, and by then, the river will be full of swollen Japanese corpses.

Qu Jun just looked at the opposite river bank in the distance and sighed. quickly reported the situation here to Sun Tao.

After the shelling stopped, Sun Tao had already led a large army to Zhenjiang.

An hour later, the army rushed to Zhenjiang in a steady stream, quickly cleaned up the battlefield, built an artillery position about three kilometers away from the river bank, and then reported the news of the recovery of Danyang and Zhenjiang to Dong Ku.

Dong Ku was arranging for the artillery erection along the Fort Bang and Baoshan in Shanghai to attack Chongming Island in an hour, and was surprised to receive the news that Danyang Zhenjiang had been recovered.

He originally thought that even if the artillery bombardment, it could only be to defeat the Japanese army in Danyang, drive it to Zhenjiang, and wait for Yu Lei's army to converge, and it was already fast to be able to take Zhenjiang within two days, but he didn't expect that the Japanese army actually gave up Danyang and Zhenjiang successively and fled directly.

"Nakajima Isago Isa! Shigeharu Suematsu! Let you live two more days!! ”

Dong Ku looked at the message, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

These two divisions, one was the commander of the 16th Division and the other was the commander of the 114th Division, both of whom had fled from Nanjing and had now crossed the river. failed to kill the two demons, Dong Ku was unwilling.

But he also knew that it was difficult to find ferries around Zhenjiang, and it was impossible to cross the river to pursue for the time being, otherwise, it would not be difficult to annihilate these Japanese troops who had no fighting spirit in one go, take Yangzhou by chance, kill the commander of Tiangu, who implemented the three-light policy, and slaughter the 16th Division, the 114th Division, and the Matsui Division.

Pressing the unwillingness in his heart, Dong Ku ordered: "Give power to the base camp, Danyang, Zhenjiang recover!" ”

In the celebration of the whole country, the boom has not yet fallen, and the voice of China sounded again.

The news once again sparked a wave of celebration.

Today is destined to be a sleepless night for the whole country. Nanjing had just been recaptured, followed by the recovery of Shanghai a few hours later, and in the middle of the afternoon, good news came from Danyang and Zhenjiang again.

Everyone was incredulous, but they were all convinced that it was true. Because, from the beginning to the end, the Japanese were silent and did not say anything.

When Lao Jiang heard that the Zhenjiang fortress had been recaptured by the advance army, he was overjoyed and worried. It was feared that the advance army would exercise management and occupy territory. But at the moment, he can't have any objections, and he can't do anything that affects cooperation.

Britain and the United States and other powers were taken aback, they all had personnel in Danyang and Zhenjiang, and I believe that the truth of the news will be confirmed tomorrow. As a result, they have a higher assessment of the combat effectiveness of the advance army.

Dong Ku was not idle in the festive hustle and bustle in the concession. In the electrification, the erection and camouflage of the fort were intensified, and then the order was given to bombard the coast of Chongming Island, and the order was given to cross the river to capture Chongming Island.

In the next few hours, the communication with Shanghai was interrupted, so that the Japanese troops on Chongming Island were terrified and could not contact the outside world, so they simply built a position at a position where they could land, put all the machine guns, mortars, and 75 mountain guns on the ground, and prepared to wait for reinforcements.

On the bank of the river, hundreds of river boats and three 500-ton cargo ships had gathered at this time, ready to cross the river and board Chongming Island.

"The shelling begins! Landing on Chongming Island! ”

With a loud roar, the cannonballs, whistling towards Chongming Island, exploded along the riverside.

With the explosion, the boats near the bank of the Baoshan River moved one after another, riding the wind and waves, and rushed towards Chongming Island.

"Hold on! Shoot the river boats!! ”

During the explosion, the Japanese army roared frantically, and the heavy machine guns that were not hit by the shells roared, and the mortars roared, as did the 75 mountain artillery positions hidden inside.

The shells fell in the river one after another, setting off columns of water that soared into the sky and overturned four or five river boats.

"Rescue the overboard!"

"Get on board!"

The warriors on the boat, which did not capsize, shouted, and in the rough and turbulent waves, rowed towards the warriors who had fallen into the water.

Here on the riverbank, it was originally impossible to observe the enemy's position because of the distance, and at the moment when the enemy's artillery shells fell into the river, the location of the artillery position was determined, and the depth of the riverside position was determined.

In the midst of the huge earthquake, the Japanese positions were filled with gunsmoke for a moment, and the moment the fire rose, the machine guns were dumb and the mortars stopped. Immediately after an earth-shattering bang, the 75 mountain artillery positions inside the position were blown up in the effective fire of thirty guns, and a huge explosion occurred.

The violent explosion destroyed the will of the Japanese army to resist, and the violent explosion caused the Japanese troops in the position to lose everything, and a few hundred shells were used to solve most of the Japanese army.

It was only at this time that the freighter sailed out of the mouth of the Huangpu River, and the ships really full of warriors lifted anchor from the river bank, and among the more than 100 ships in front, each ship had only a few people, in order to attract the enemy's artillery fire and then hit the first one.

"Fast!"

The soldiers on the boat that sailed out shouted and climbed into the boat and stared at the opposite shore, sniper rifles already on the set, ready to shoot at any time.

The shelling did not stop, and at the moment when the ships on the river sailed to the opposite bank, they bombarded the positions where it was thought that they might be hiding the artillery fire of the Japanese positions.

In the loud noise, the Japanese troops on the island already understood that it would be difficult to hold off the enemy's attack with them. So, in the shelling, he abandoned his position, took a small boat from the back of the island, and fled to the opposite shore, and it was estimated that he would flee to Yangzhou like a lost dog in a few days.

There was no obstacle to landing on the island, except for the dead Japanese soldiers, all the wounded were taken away, heavy machine guns and other heavy weapons were thrown away, and they were thrown into a mess everywhere. And, of course, frightened fishermen.

Zhao Liqiang, who landed on the island, quickly inspected the whole island, found fishermen, inquired about the geology, and began to build forts in several suitable locations, believing that when it was dark, the artillery would be transported from the freighter to the fort and installed.
