On the Japanese gunboats, the situation at the moment could not have been worse.

Successive tank and field artillery attacks pierced the hull, and shells exploded one by one in the compartment outside the ammunition depot.

As a gunboat of the clogs fleet, there were not many shells for the eighty-millimeter guns on board, and most of the shells were in the main ammunition depot with armor protection on board.

In the ammunition depot under the turret, although quite a few shells for 80-mm guns were also preserved. But there is also armor protection, so the damage received is not serious.

However, Zhang Sixing's aim and shot, the first mortar shell, made the Japanese sailors on the ship panic.

Of course, there was also armor there, but the shells of the 82 mortars also used explosive shells. However, in order to combat bunkers, the blaster has a certain time delay and armor-piercing ability.

Therefore, the first shell that Zhang Sixing aimed at directly penetrated the deck and landed on the ammunition depot of the front main gun.

"Captain, ahem...... Former main gun ...... Ahem...... Ammunition depot ......"

Hearing this report, which was full of headless and struggles, the captain of the gunboat turned pale. He understood that these extremely thinly armored hulls of the clog fleet could not withstand a few shots at all.

At this moment, the voice of the sailor with a painful report was heard,

"Ahem...... Fire...... Fire...... Runaway ......"

Also, on the battleship, where everyone's eyes were red and swollen like rabbits, the damage management team could not effectively extinguish the fire.

"Abandon ship...... Abandoned ship ......"

The captain gave the order to abandon ship with pain, knowing that he could no longer salvage the gunboat and that there was no way to save his own life. Sinking with his own ship was his last stubbornness.

However, before the sailors could jump into the icy water, the shells of the second and third 82 mortars fell at the location of the previous explosion. It is surprising that these shells landed so accurately into the large hole that the previous shell had blown open.

"Boom"

The hull shook violently in the violent explosion, and the captain of the gunboat could almost imagine that the shell must have caused great damage to the armor of the ammunition depot.

However, before he could order the sailors to fill the ammunition depot with water, another violent explosion spewed a fireball from the point where it had just exploded.

It's good, my ship is good, it's still a battleship made in our Great Japanese Empire......

Just as he was shouting excitedly in his heart, three more mortar shells hit the location of the explosion just now, almost simultaneously.

Finished.

These were the last thoughts of the gunboat captain.

The violent explosion caused the battleship to bend downward like a broken sugar cane, and the bow and stern of the ship were cocked at the same time.

Needless to say, there were only a dozen shells for 80-millimeter guns in the turret ammunition depot of the front main gun, but the shells that exploded together in a confined space instantly blew up the ammunition depot and threw the turret weighing dozens of tons directly from the battleship.

Not only was the explosion so violent that the hull of the ship was easily broken into two parts, and the cold river water rushed directly into each cabin.

Seeing the explosive Japanese ship in the middle of the river, all the people on the shore cheered together.

However, Zhang Sixing did not join them, but ran to the three mortars and carefully aimed at the other gunboat.

The cheers rang out, and the tank company and the field artillery squadron opened fire on another gunboat, which had been hit by a round of tank guns.

The gunboat's engine was obviously good, but like the gunboat with its propeller tangled in a net, it was also bombarded with offensive tear gas, so it was still impossible to fight back.

As a round of shells passed, the fire that had just been put on burned again. It's a pity that this time the eyes have become a rabbit's lack of food and short-wear, but the team members have no ability to do anything about damage management.

As a last resort, the whistle was also sounded, and the signal to abandon the ship was issued. Hopefully, when the people on the shore hear that they have abandoned ship, they will stop wasting shells bombarding them.

However, Zhang Sixing is an army and does not understand any signals from the sea at all.

Therefore, by the riverside reed leaves no longer shaking, and then one two or three were connected, and a group of mortar eggs were thrown over in the same way.

This time it was not as good luck as just now, the three mortars hit the target, but the captain of the Japanese ship, who had learned from the past, had already ordered the ammunition depot to be filled with water to avoid the fate of the previous gunboat.

However, after several rounds of shelling, although the gunboat's ammunition depot was filled with water and it was impossible to produce another explosion, the continuous shelling made the small gunboat completely become a torch burning in the middle of the river.

After solving the Japanese gunboat, Zhang Sixing just breathed a sigh of relief, but at this time, the sound of the fighter engines came from the sky. Following the sound, a team of Japanese planes flew over in the sky.

However, they apparently avoided the crossing, as the anti-aircraft guns and machine guns there were clearly annoying to them. Secondly, their target was obviously not the people at the crossing point, but their target should be the blocking position on the plain west of Niushou Mountain.

I'm so special, the devil really doesn't make people relax at all, you can't stop a little. And it seems that the old boy Gu Shoufu is valued by the commander of the Tenth Army, Yanagawa Heisuke, otherwise how could it be the help of gunboats and fighters.

At this moment, there were a large number of delta-winged kites floating on Niushou Mountain, and many aerial mine arrays were also arranged, but the tanks and field artillery along the river naturally became the target of Japanese fighters.

"Populus euphratica, get upwind and smoke."

Unlike the generals of the Guo army, Zhang Sixing was well aware of the casualties that could be caused by the air attack force, so in addition to the kite mine array that had been prepared for a long time, he had also prepared a smoke device for a long time.

Of course it's not a smoke egg, but of course it's a damp reed by the river. Underneath was a firewood doused with gasoline, covered with a large handful of reeds that existed by the river.

What, the reeds are not very resistant to burning, and the smoke they make......

Don't forget that this is Jiangnan, here is the Yangtze River, there are not many reeds.

As long as the mind does not slip, there are always more ways than difficulties. If it is not resistant to burning, then pile him up in a hundred and ten piles, how can it not be resistant to burning.

With Zhang Sixing's "smoke" thick smoke, with the north wind at this moment, the thick white smoke was like a magic carpet, which wiped out the positions on Niushou Mountain, Guanyin Mountain, Jiangjun Mountain and the plains one by one with the wind.

However, at this time, Zhang Sixing encountered a headache problem,

"Sir, we just dealt with the gunboats on the river and knocked out the rocket eggs with flytraps, and now we ...... air defense"

Hu Yang's report made Zhang Sixing's head "buzz" for a while.

He used the rocket eggs with "flytrap nets" to hit the planes, so how to deal with the large number of planes that were attacking now, this is really a difficult thing.

I was anxious to scold the old cigarette pouch,

Old cigarette bag, you veteran oil, why do you only make so many air defense rockets, which is enough for us to use. This time, if Lao Tzu can find the past and not die, look at Lao Tzu if you don't pout your old cigarette pouch.
