The fighting continues.

The Japanese planes went crazy.

One by one, the pilots crashed into the ground without dying.

Their impacts are all very precise.

"Boom ......"

A heavy cannon was destroyed.

The gun wheels were blown up to the sky.

"Boom ......"

Another heavy cannon was destroyed.

This time it's even more exaggerated. The gun wheels were blown away, bouncing all the way until they were more than a hundred meters away before falling.

"Boom ......"

"Boom ......"

A large number of cars were bombed again.

In the face of the frantic bombardment of Japanese planes, those anti-aircraft machine guns were almost useless.

The barrels are all red, and it doesn't help.

"Hoo ......"

"Boom ......"

Individual anti-aircraft missiles are also crazy.

It wasn't until the last Japanese plane was shot down that Zhang Chu breathed a sigh of relief.

Dog day!

Are you still coming?

Come on!

Lao Tzu is waiting for you!

Quiet.

Deathly silence.

On the battlefield after the fierce battle, there was no cheering, only silence.

It was as if the wind was blowing without a sound.

It's a mess everywhere.

There was black smoke and fire everywhere.

Take a picture of the end of the world.

However......

No one took pictures.

It's been numb for a long time.

Those beautiful reporters who cautiously poked their heads out were all glazed-eyed. It seems that he has just gone to the ghost gate. The three souls and seven spirits have not yet returned to their places.

"Uh......"

Zhou Ming suddenly felt weak all over, and his butt was paralyzed on the ground.

There is no female journalist at all.

No way. She's so tired. I'm scared.

I didn't know I was scared just now, but now that the battle is over, I know.

That's just a little bit close!

Just now, the machine-gun bullets of the Japanese planes almost grazed her side.

Even the slightest deviation was shattered.

No, the orioles are all injured. She was hit by a stray bullet. I don't know where the stray bullet came from.

Thankfully, it missed the point. Rub through a layer of skin.

"Boom ......"

Suddenly, there was another loud bang.

Zhang Chu looked sideways. I don't know what exploded. Probably from a plane with a dropped bomb?

What a mess. But it's not weird.

This is the battlefield. What kind of weirdness doesn't? It's a habit to die at any time......

"Ah......h

Zhou Ming suddenly snorted.

It turned out that I accidentally broke my foot. The whole person almost fell to the ground.

After the fierce battle, the ground was full of chaos. It's all floating dirt. Here are the pitfalls. If you're not careful, you'll get caught in it.

However, Zhang Chu didn't look back at her at all. Walked away on his own.

It's okay. Can't die.

Let's go see the others first. It's best that Song Zhihuan is fine.

He's a treasure. A rare technical class. Genuine artillery section background. On the battlefield of Wuhu, he is the pearl of his palm.

"Sir!"

Fortunately, Song Zhihuan is fine.

The others are mostly fine. It's just that they are all covered in dirt.

Others are coming out of the dirt.

No way, the devil's plane is too ferocious. Everyone had to dodge obediently. One by one, they all lay in the trench and did not dare to move. Let the blown dirt cover itself.

No matter what kind of military uniform was worn before, it is now the same color: earthy yellow.

"Commander Fu!"

"Commander Fu!"

Zhang Chu glanced at it and didn't find Fu Xiangnan.

I can't help but be a little worried. Don't ......

"Adjutant Zhang, I'm here ......"

"...... here"

Fortunately, Fu Xiangnan's voice came faintly.

Zhang Chu looked sideways. It was discovered that he had been buried alive. Boy. Nearly suffocated to death. Fortunately, he was quickly pulled out by the guards.

It's a bit of a mess.

But the mood is still quite excited.

After all, all the Japanese planes were shot down. It can be said that it is a big victory.

Although, there were also a lot of artillery losses on their own. However, it is certainly not as precious as an airplane!

"Ni Dong!"

"Ni Dong!"

Zhang Chu shouted for someone again.

As a result, Ni Dong quickly appeared. It's actually pretty clean.

"You ......"

"I'm by the river. The devil plane didn't hurt me. ”

"Oh......"

Zhang Chu was relieved.

Then he gave Ni Dong a thumbs up. This guy is really smart.

As soon as the Japanese planes came, he did not retreat but advanced. Move with troops to the river. Spread out directly by the river. As a result, the Japanese planes did not notice the riverside at all.

Thereupon......

The Beida camp led by Ni Dong, with more than 2,000 people, was unscathed.

To exaggerate, not even a single hair has been lost.

There was no dirt on his body either.

Energetic.

Just waiting for the attack of the Japanese ground forces.

"Jiang Chuwei!"

"Jiang Chuwei!"

Zhang Chu continued to shout.

The results were slow to respond. I couldn't help but start worrying again.

It took a while for someone to report that Jiang Chuwei was marching east with his troops. It is currently stationed thirty miles away from Wuhu.

"He ......"

Zhang Chu was puzzled.

Immediately reacted. This Jiang Chuwei is also a smart person!

Moving east with your troops, you can also avoid the bombing of Japanese planes. The attention of the Japanese planes was all inside and outside Wuhu County. Where can I get more than 30 miles east of E.?

Thereupon......

Jiang Chuwei's troops were quietly hiding there, lying in ambush, waiting for the Japanese ground troops to appear.

However, the Japanese ground forces did not appear. They waited in vain.

It can be seen from this that the Japanese planes were simply aimed at the artillery of the national army, and the goal was not to recapture Wuhu.

Statistical losses.

Not small indeed.

Seven 85-mm cannons were completely destroyed.

Five 130-mm heavy cannons were completely destroyed. It's the kind that can't be repaired.

There were several other wounded guns.

The number of casualties of the artillery was in the range of a hundred. About one hundred and fifty people were wounded.

Objectively speaking, it's not much.

Originally, Fu Xiangnan thought that at least thousands of people would have to be paid.

There are more car losses.

But it doesn't matter. These can be supplemented.

Zhang Chu immediately arranged transportation.

"Something is wrong......"

Fu Xiangnan suddenly muttered to himself.

The Japanese invaders actually did not launch a ground attack on Wuhu!

Perverse.

There must be an ulterior conspiracy behind it.

But for the time being, it is unclear what the Japanese plan to be. For safety, Wuhu had to be stationed.

"Boom ......"

"Boom la la ......"

Suddenly, a shell landed on the river.

But it was the 130-mm heavy cannons that began to test fire again. to check whether it is in good condition.

The explosion set off a high column of water. In the water column, you can see many big fish flying.

Alas, it's a pity, so many big fish!

If there is grilled fish......

"Sudden ......"

"Sudden ......"

Suddenly, there was a fierce gunfire in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

Zhang Chu tilted his head.

It was the sound of a 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine gun.

It was Fan Hao whose torpedo boats appeared. They are attacking the Japanese transports. Soon, the Japanese transport ship was sunk.

Oh, it's okay.

The appearance of torpedo boats means that the waterway from Wuhu to Anqing has been completely controlled.

At least, this section of the waterway has become an inner lake for the national army.

The Japanese wanted to come in.

However, in Anqing, there was a blockade by Japanese artillery, and the ships of the national army could not pass either.

So, a funny scene appeared.

The national army blockaded the Wuhu section, and the Japanese invaders blockaded the Anqing section.

You can't get in.

I can't get by.

The Yangtze River waterway is completely paralyzed.

Even the ships of the British and Americans did not dare to come in easily.

What if there is a communication error and it is sunk by a single shot?

"Staff Officer Zhang!"

"Staff Officer Zhang!"

Fan Hao rushed ashore.

It is not surprising to see Zhang Chu wearing the uniform of the national army.

Wei Chengping had already told him that Zhang Chu had several identities. Moreover, Zhang Chu's original role was an arms dealer.

"Something?" Zhang Chu nodded and said hello.

"Staff Officer Zhang, can we go south to Jinling?" Fan Xu is looking forward to it.

Between Anqing and Wuhu, there are no more enemies.

They are getting bolder and bigger, and they actually want to go to Jinling to join in the fun.

"There's a Japanese warship down there."

"Then we'll attack the Japanese warships."

"Okay, let's go!"

Zhang Chu agreed.

The role of torpedo boats is to fight. Otherwise, would you keep it as a yacht?

Since they're going to fight, let it go!

"Thank you!"

"Be careful!"

"Great!"

Fan Xu happily went.

Suddenly, he turned his head again. Bite one's tongue.

"Don't worry, I'll replenish all the consumption." Zhang Chu knew it.

"Great!" Fan Hao went with confidence.

Although there were only five torpedo boats. But the consumption is also quite large.

In addition to fuel, weapons and ammunition, which Zhang Chu will replenish, all other utensils have to be bought with money.

Without money, it's really hard to move an inch.

"These torpedo boats are our own people."

"Stop shelling for now!"

Zhang Chu ordered the artillery observation posts.

Take care to avoid accidental injury.

Don't sink the torpedo boat with a 130mm heavy cannon.

"Staff Officer Zhang?"

Fan Xu suddenly turned back again.

Zhang Chu: ???

Didn't I say that? I will be responsible for replenishing all the losses. What else do you have questions?

"Staff Officer Zhang......"

"Something to say."

"Do you want to go to Jinling to have a look?"

"Oh?"

Zhang Chu's eyes lit up immediately.

It turns out that this guy wants to take himself to Jinling!

What's so wrong with this? Just say no?

I didn't have that intention before. But when you say that, it seems that interest comes immediately.

Dog's day little devil, your grandfather, I'm going to see you.

"Good. I'll go with you! ”

"Great!"

Fan Xu suddenly cracked his mouth and smiled.

Two rows of eerie white teeth are exposed. Feel like a great white shark.

"Oriole!"

"In!"

"Watch her!"

"Yes!"

Huang Li agreed.

Zhou Ming: ???

Oops, where are you going?

Don't run! You ran away, what should I do? Where do I stay?

Bite one's tongue.

Speechless and choked.

I pity that so many photos I have taken are useless now.

Because from now on, she is no longer a journalist. She has been grounded by Zhang Chu. With Zhang Chu's order, it is estimated that no one dares to approach her.

Really......

After Fu Xiangnan learned the news, he immediately found a courtyard for her and settled her.

Inside is a yellow oriole watching. Outside, a platoon of guards.

All meals are served outside.

"Is this a house arrest?" Zhou Ming looked at Huang Li self-deprecatingly.

"I don't know." Huang Li's face was expressionless.

She is only responsible for watching people. None of the rest.

As long as the oriole doesn't run away. Without contact with outsiders, her mission was completed.

As for other things, I'll talk about it when Zhang Chu comes back.

At this time, Zhang Chu had already boarded the torpedo boat and went all the way down the river.

For the time being, there were no Japanese destroyers.

Finding that the Yangtze River in Wuhu was not navigable, the Japanese warships and transport ships all turned around and returned to Jinling.

Coincidentally, the torpedo boat happened to follow them and also reached Jinling.

"Didi!"

"Didi!"

A Japanese destroyer spotted a torpedo boat.

The lookout post above immediately blew the warning whistle. The other Japanese hurriedly raised their binoculars and went into battle mode.

"Shoot!"

"Shoot!"

The gunnery commander of the Japanese destroyer gave a categorical order.

All the 127-mm naval guns, as well as secondary guns of other calibers, were aimed at the torpedo boats at once.

"Bang ......"

"Boom ......"

The shells fell in the vicinity of the torpedo boats.

Whoa......

Whoa......

A large number of splashes of water splashed. Drenched everyone as if they were chicken in soup.

Luckily, it's summer and the temperature is high. It's okay.

"Launch!"

Fan Xu is not polite.

You've got naval guns for the shit, right? I have torpedoes!

"Sneer......"

A torpedo was launched.

"Sneer......"

Another torpedo was fired.

"Sneer......"

"Sneer......"

More torpedo launches.

All torpedo boats quickly fire their torpedoes and then turn and run.

This is Zhang Chu's tactical arrangement.

Challenging the Japanese destroyers at close range is a dead end.

Shoot the torpedo from a long distance and run away. That's the way to go.

If it was in the middle of nowhere, the Japanese destroyers could easily dodge all the torpedoes. Because there is enough reaction time.

There is also plenty of room for maneuver.

However......

This is the Yangtze River!

The Yangtze River is not as wide as the sea!

The Japanese destroyers did not have enough space to dodge. There is also not enough speed.

"Yaga ......"

Sure enough, the Japanese captain turned ashen.

Annoying!

It turned out that ten torpedoes were fired at the same time.

Almost without thinking, the captain knew he was finished. Because it is impossible to dodge all the torpedoes.

There is not enough space.

"Yaga ......"

"Yaga ......"

The other Japanese officers were also desperate.

In fact, their skills in dodging torpedoes are very clever. If it's on the sea, you can definitely avoid it.

The question is......

This is the Yangtze River!

The river is so wide, where can you hide?

What's more, there's no way to push the speed to the limit.

I can only watch the torpedo kill......

It seems like 10,000 years......

"His Majesty the Emperor is onboard!"

The telegraph corps sent its final telegram.

Then I felt the hull of the ship vibrate violently. Then an explosion was heard. And then......

There is no then.

A torpedo hit accurately. Blow up the destroyer in two.

There is no doubt about it.

The power of torpedoes is so terrifying.

A destroyer with a displacement of just over 1000 tons is completely unbearable.

Even a light cruiser with a displacement of more than 3,000 tons would have unimaginable consequences if a torpedo hit the side directly. There is a more than 80% chance of sinking.

However......

Worse is yet to come.

"Boom ......"

The second torpedo hit accurately.

Directly blow up the broken destroyer again. The destroyer was suddenly torn apart. Then quickly sank.

The remaining Japanese invaders on the ship didn't even have time to jump into the water to escape.

"Ding......

"You managed to sink a Japanese destroyer......"

"You get 150000000 ......"

"You get a special reward: a ...... of the German Narvik destroyer"

"You get 1,500,000 ocean ......"

The news is pouring in.

Zhang Chu's mind moved.

German destroyers? Narvik type? That is, the famous Type 1936A?

Boy!

It's out of nowhere!

Terrible!

During World War II, countries had very good destroyers.

The Fletcher class of the US imperialists, which is like dumplings, is 175 ships as soon as it is built. Both in quantity and quality, it completely crushes its opponents.

But the Narvik-type destroyers of the Germans also had their own peculiarities.

Its most outstanding feature is that it is equipped with 150 mm naval guns. The other destroyers were armed with 127-mm naval guns.

Purely in terms of artillery caliber, the Narvik type can be said to be a complete victory.

However, the actual combat effect still needs to be tested. The combat effectiveness of the German Navy seems to be average......

"Good!"

"Good!"

Fan Xu threw his fist excitedly.

It felt like someone was going to have to fight. What a reckless cow.

Zhang Chu gradually stopped his heart.

Ten torpedoes fired a salvo and killed a Japanese destroyer, which should be a normal level.

In the Yangtze River waterway, the torpedo is the boss.

Japanese destroyers actually had torpedoes. However, they were not launched in time. And then it's too late.

"Retreat!"

Zhang Chu waved his hand.

Mission accomplished. Hurry up and leave.

"Withdraw!"

"Withdraw!"

Fan Xu waved his hand vigorously.

So, all the torpedo boats accelerated and fled upstream.

Behind, at the location where the Japanese destroyer sank, only a large amount of debris floated. The surrounding Japanese troops rushed to the rescue. The result is a lonely one.

The continuous torpedo explosions had long since killed all the sailors.

"Nani?"

"Yaga!"

Saburo Ozawa's face turned pale.

Right under your own nose, a destroyer sunk?

Damn it!

He immediately realized the fatal problem.

This is the Yangtze River waterway! Not the sea!

Driving the destroyer into the waterway of the Yangtze River was in itself a mistake. It is tantamount to sending oneself to the place of mortality.

"Get out now!"

"Get out of the way!"

Saburo Ozawa decisively corrected his mistakes.
