The Japanese's "Long Snake Formation" stopped and did not dare to move forward immediately.
The reason is simple.
If there is a mine formation here, there is no guarantee that there will not be one elsewhere.
They saw with their own eyes the power of the mine array here.
All the mines used were anti-tank mines.
Looking at the shrapnel, they were obviously made from the Soviet Union.
Therefore, the commander immediately sent a telegram to Okamura Neiji, requesting tactical guidance.
After Okamura Neiji received the battle report, he was very shocked.
He never imagined that his troops attacked so quickly and why the enemy still had time to ambush the mine array.
Hata Shunroku was extremely angry: "Okamura-kun, this is Yue Feng's style, it is his style.
There is no doubt that he is in Ruichang, just in Ruichang."
Okamura Neiji was also very angry: "Didn't Doi-kun say that there are no troops outside?
Why are there more than a thousand elite soldiers ambushing them, hundreds of submachine guns, and hundreds of silenced sniper rifles.
This is Yue Feng's special operations camp and Storm Battalion, they must have left Anqing City early and sneaked into Ruichang quietly. " Shunroku Hata was very angry: "Doi-kun's information is inaccurate."
Okamura Neiji shook his head: "He was fooled.
There is an extremely terrifying intelligence expert under Yue Feng who is good at catching agents and spies.
I estimate that Doihara Kenji's subordinate was caught by this person and forced him to report to Doi-kun.
False information.”
Shunroku Hata looked at the sky outside: "There are only ninety minutes until dark.
Should we continue the attack or retreat?
I suggest retreating first."
Okamura Neiji said viciously: "Attack, attack, attack resolutely."
Shunroku Hata was stunned: "Why?"
Okamura Neiji said: "The reason is very simple.
Yue Feng only had two battalions that arrived in Ruichang first.
Plus Chen Yong and Han Jin's two divisions, there were only more than 11,000 people, while we have more than 30,000 people." .
No.
Including the Marines, there are more than 50,000 people."
Shunroku Hata reminded: "However, we have lost the field artillery regiment, and we have lost our biggest trump card."
Okamura Ningji said gloomily: "But we still have thirty tanks, as well as a large number of mortars, grenades, light and heavy machine guns, and most importantly, we also have dozens of naval guns, which are more powerful than field battles."
The cannon is even more powerful."
Shunroku Hata thought for a while and gritted his teeth: "Yes, naval guns, dozens of naval guns, will definitely blow them to pieces."
A staff officer reminded: "Two generals, what if their flying battalion comes to bomb?"
Okamura Neiji smiled and said: "There are absolutely no planes in Ruichang.
Doi-kun cannot be wrong about this, because such a big move to build an airport cannot be concealed.
Yue Feng's fighter planes must be in Anqing, waiting for them to fly Come, the war will be over long ago."
At this time, the communications staff officer ran over quickly, his face ashen: "Two generals, the fleet heading to the port was attacked by fighter planes.
There were a total of thirty-six fighter planes on the other side, thirty-two were Zeros, and four were Type 36s."
Shunroku Hata stumbled and sat down on the chair.
Okamura Neji's face was ashen: "Impossible, impossible.
Did Ruichang come from nowhere in the Xiongqi Flying Battalion?
It's impossible."
Shunroku Hata shouted: "The fleet is most afraid of aircraft attacks.
Quick, tell them to turn in, turn in."
Okamura Neiji thought about it carefully and suddenly realized: "We fell into Yue Feng's trick.

His airport is not in Ruichang, but in Lushan."
The staff reminded: "Send our fighter planes to cover."
Okamura Neiji shook his head: "It will take an hour, but when our air force arrives, the fleet will be finished long ago."
The staff officer said harshly: "Then shoot down all their fighter planes."
Shunroku Hata sighed: "They are Type Zeros and are difficult to deal with.
Originally, this attack should have been carried out after the Type Zeros arrived.
However, we attacked too quickly."
Okamura Neji's face turned frighteningly green, and he gritted his teeth: "Order the troops to return to Jiujiang, order the fleet to retreat, retreat."
He didn't bother to say "turn in" because he felt it was too late.
Let us say that three thousand meters away from the port, the Japanese invaders' fifty ships of various types were in a tragic situation of being passively beaten.
Battleships, troopships, and gunboats were all like ants on a hot pot, getting angry.
Lu Tian's command was very appropriate, and he ordered the thirty-two Zeros to fire continuously at high altitudes and shoot machine shells.
Although this kind of cannonball is not big, it is still a cannonball after all.
It is still very deadly when it explodes, and there are many of them.
The targets of the machine gun shells were ten battleships, and three Zeros were used against one battleship.
"Boom boom boom" Machine shells exploded continuously on the battleship.
This kind of shell cannot sink a battleship, but it can destroy the Japanese soldiers on the battleship, blow up the naval guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, and make the opponent empty of the battleship, unable to resist, and turned into a toy.
The other two Zeros and four 36s were specially designed to deal with more than a dozen gunboats.
The gunboat is not big.
Although it has guns, its range is not far.
It is just a decoration in front of the fighter planes.
"Boom boom boom" "Da da da da da" The gunboats were hit by machine shells and exploded, and the artillery and machine guns on them were blown up.
Machine gun bullets rained down on the gunboat without mercy.
The gunboat only has one floor, and the Japanese soldiers cannot dodge at all.
There is no use hiding in the cockpit, not to mention machine gun shells, even machine gun bullets can penetrate it.
After a few came back, there was no one on the gunboat, only corpses.
Only those who are clever can jump into the river.
Whether they can survive depends on their luck.
On the battleship, the living Japanese hid in the engine room.
The commander looked livid and ordered to turn around.
There was really no other way.
The ten warships were unarmed and had no other choice but to retreat.
On the river, there were only thirty troop transport ships left, each with about 700 people and 20,000 people.
The troop carrier does not have artillery, but it does have anti-aircraft machine guns installed on both sides of the ship's armor.
Of course, this poses no threat to the experienced "Xiongqi Flying Battalion" at all.
Lu Tian ordered: "Shoot diagonally at high altitude, shoot diagonally at long distances, don't rush for success, shoot steadily and accurately, shoot" Jia Bin shouted: "Little devil, you know what a meteorite rain of iron bullets is, try it."
Wang Xuexue laughed loudly: "It's free, go to hell to receive it."
Qixin snorted: "The ghost king needs ghost slaves, three million ghost slaves."
Li Zongyan reminded: "Concentrate on shooting and don't talk nonsense.
The regiment leader said that heroes often die from talking nonsense."
Jia Bin refused: "Lao Li, you talk more nonsense than me."
Lin Youhang shouted: "Half dive, accelerate, straf, straf" Thirty-six fighter planes roared past, "dropping" a piece of "meteorite iron bullets" gracefully.
The troop transport was shrouded in a hail of bullets, with numerous casualties and miserable howls.
The commander panicked and roared at the top of his lungs: "Get to the shore, get to the shore" His order was undoubtedly correct.
Driving on the river was undoubtedly a dead end.

If it were against other flying groups, there might be a way to survive, but the opponent was the "Xiongqi Flying Battalion", and thirty-two of them were actually extremely fast Type Zeros.
Staying on the river, there was no way to survive.
Although the empire's fighter planes will come to the rescue, there is not enough time, and the distant water cannot save the nearby fire.
Seeing the troop transports rushing towards the shore, Lu Tian sneered: "Give me the order to blow them up, send them into the river to feed the bastards, and blow up one for every three."
There are two bombs hanging under each Zero.
Although the power is average, it is still very powerful if it hits the vital point.
For insurance, two is not enough, four is barely enough, six is better.
This is three Zeros bombing a troop carrier and seeing where it goes:
