The fat man hurriedly picked up the binoculars and looked at the Yangtze River, only to see that the black spots on the river were getting bigger and bigger, in the telescope he had seen the plaster flags flying high on the devil warships, as well as the guns with the muzzles of the guns in the black holes, there were four devil warships, all of them were large warships of more than 1,000 tons, and behind the warships were a large row of devil ships loaded with gold cultural relics, and now they really changed their marching formation, so as to smoothly pass through the narrow river channel on this side and go to sea.
The fat man probably estimated that those devil warships were less than twenty miles away from the battery, and they should have entered the range of these 350 mm guns on the battery The fat man hurriedly ordered the brothers who were next to the cannon: "Test fire with a giant cannon, check and see, and see how powerful this cannon is" The fat man was afraid that the distance was still far away, so he tried to fire a shot first to see the specific damage effect.
As soon as the words fell, the fat man only heard an earth-shattering sound on the fort, the earth trembled, the 350 mm fortress cannon in the middle of the door had spewed out a dazzling tongue of fire, and the white smoke almost completely shrouded the figure of the giant cannon, several brothers and devil captives next to the cannon were squatting on the ground, covering their ears, a devil artillery prisoner was using the stopwatch in his hand to count the seconds and count the time of the cannonball flying in the air, when he counted to the 16th second, the fat man saw the river in front of him in the telescope, Suddenly, a large column of water rose to the sky, and the column of water rushed high enough to cover the top of the mast of the devil warship in front, but there was no fire of the shell hitting the hull, and the cannonball that was fired for the first time missed and fell into the river next to the devil warship.
When the fat man saw that the first test shot could not hit the devil warship, he was furious, and shouted at the devil artillery prisoners on the fort at the top of his throat: "Hurry up and rest the position angle, if we can't hit the devil warship again, our battery will be bombed here."
Seeing that the fat man, the commander of the New Fourth Army, was angry and anxious, how dare these devil artillery prisoners slack off, and hurriedly and quickly fine-tuned the angle of the shelling, and the devil holding the stopwatch next to him accurately calculated the wind speed and distance, and reported these data to the cannon next to him that had been loaded with shells waiting to be launched, the small red flag suddenly waved to the ground, and there was an earth-shattering artillery bombardment rumbling, and in the rising white smoke, a blood-red tongue of fire sprayed out from the muzzle of the 350-mm cannon on the turret, In the counting sound of the devil captive who was counting with a stopwatch, the 350-millimeter shell projectile pierced the sky at a speed of more than 600 meters per second, roaring viciously towards the devil warship on the river, and after flying in the air for fifteen or sixteen seconds, the shell fell on the foredeck of the devil warship that hit the head, and suddenly saw a dazzling fire rise in the eyes of the fat man who looked carefully at the devil warship with a telescope, and then a black smoke rose, Although he couldn't hear the earth-shattering explosion of the cannonball falling on the deck of the devil warship, those fires and smoke told the fat man that the shelling finally hit the devil warship escorting the ship, it is conceivable that a large cannonball weighing nearly a ton smashed on the front deck of the devil warship, and the power of the explosion of the high-explosive shell could almost sweep everything on the front deck of the devil warship, as for the unlucky little devils on the deck, they must have been shattered and disappeared without a trace.
Sure enough, the deck of the devil destroyer, which was hit by a huge cannon shell on the foredeck, was in a mess and in chaos, the front main gun turret was lifted up by a huge shock wave and fell into the water of the Yangtze River dozens of meters away, and the devil artillery on the gun emplacements who were preparing for war were blown away without a trace, and the deck was full of raging flames and billowing smoke, and a piercing damage alarm sounded in the cabin of the warship, and the captain of the devil who commanded in the cockpit was stunned by the cannon just now, and was lying on the ground unconscious, Several devil health soldiers were desperately trying to rescue him, and after tossing for a while, the captain of the devil slowly woke up, and hurriedly shouted at the little devil under him: "Turn the rudder quickly, and the fire extinguishing ship guns will fire a salvo to bombard the Jiangyin Fort."
This devil captain is the commander of this escort formation, and his brain reaction is relatively fast, and when he woke up, he immediately felt that something had happened to the Jiangyin Fort in front, otherwise there would be no such large-caliber giant cannon in other places to hit, it must be that the Jiangyin Fort fell into the hands of the New Fourth Army, and the New Fourth Army is now using those giant cannons on the turret to bombard the warships here, so his first order when he woke up was to quickly adjust the formation formation, and line up horizontally on the still wide Yangtze River here, and bombard the batteries with rows of naval guns on the warship, These four devil warships are all large destroyers of more than 1,000 tons, one is still a cruiser level, equipped with several naval guns of more than 300 mm, four large warships are lined up horizontally, and they are all bombarded towards the Jiangyin battery, the power of this artillery bombardment is not to be underestimated, the fat man's cannon just now used a high-explosive bomb, and it is very useful to kill and injure the devil soldiers on the deck, but it can't destroy the front deck of the devil, so although the front deck is still billowing smoke, the power is still there, While desperately fighting the fire and extinguishing the smoke, the flexible devil warship slowly turned its hull, trying to turn the hull sideways and shell the Jiangyin Fort opposite.
The commander of the Devil's Fleet immediately warned the flotilla transporting gold and cultural relics behind him to stop advancing immediately, urgently asked the Devil's Command in Nanjing for help, and asked Shunroku Hata to quickly dispatch aviation planes to blow up the Jiangyin Fort in front.
Just when the fat man used the huge cannon on the Jiangyin Fort to bombard the four devil warships on the river, Huang Shuisheng and his subordinates finally rushed to the fat man, and the fat man saw that the New Fourth Army team in Nantong had also sent out a team, and he was very happy, and hurriedly said to Huang Shuisheng: "Shuisheng, you better hurry up, we have started the artillery battle here, it is estimated that those devil fleets have stopped advancing, this time is the best, if you can get there in time, Then our task of intercepting the devil's treasure transport fleet this time is completed, you don't have to worry about those big warships, there are so many cannons on the battery, we are not afraid of them rushing over, your special service group just needs to solve those treasure ships for me, remember, try to capture the devil's ships, if it doesn't work, scuttle and blow up those ships, just don't let the little devils transport these treasures that belong to our China out" When Huang Shuisheng heard this, he immediately straightened his chest and said: "It's no problem for our special team to fight in the water, but there is still a distance of about twenty miles to the devil's fleet, I'm afraid that when we arrive there, the devil's fleet has already made some moves, and our special mission team marches on both legs, and it is best to have horses to travel, so that we can quickly get there and intercept the devil's fleet."
As soon as the fat man heard Huang Shuisheng's words, he felt that it made sense, the little devil fleet knew that it was intercepted in front, and it would definitely change its plan, there were many rivers on the banks of the river, extending in all directions, and they had time to drive the fleet into the big river next to them before Huang Shuisheng and their team arrived to intercept it, and then turn into the Huangpu River, and go to sea along the direction of Shanghai, so that these treasures belonging to China could still be safely transported to the Japanese mainland, as long as they arrived in Shanghai, then whether it was the local New Fourth Army armed forces or the military commanders, they could only look at the river and sigh, The devil also has a navy's Third Fleet there, although large warships such as aircraft carriers have been transferred to Japan to resist the US military's attack on the Japanese mainland, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the little devil's Third Fleet is dispatched together, so it is impossible to intercept this group of devil ships transporting gold cultural relics.
What should I do, can I just watch the little devil fleet change the direction of the march and go towards Shanghai, absolutely not, the fat man has worked hard all the way with a group of brothers, and the distance alone is thousands of kilometers, if this group of devil fleets is released at this critical juncture, then don't say that Zhou Wu can't spare him, even he can't spare himself, and if it spreads, how will the fat man still mix in Jiangbei in the future The fat man hurriedly asked his men: "How many horses have we brought here?"
"Report to the head of the regiment, we don't have many horses, only a few fast horses from the communication class."
The subordinate immediately replied.
"Ah, those fast horses in the communication class use Lao Ye on their heads, you military commanders can think of a way to get horses locally here" The fat man hurriedly turned to Lao Ye, Lao Ye has great powers, and he must be able to handle this matter.
Unexpectedly, Lao Ye listened to the fat man's words, and shook his head, saying that he couldn't get so many horses in a short time, and the fat man saw that he didn't even withdraw from Lao Ye, so what should I do At the moment when I was in a hurry, the two pseudo-army commanders who had just thrown over hurriedly said to the fat man: "Report to the regiment leader, there are a few big trucks and a lot of motorcycles in our team, and some horses, I don't know if you can use them."
When the fat man heard this, he hurriedly shouted to the two former puppet army commanders: "Why didn't you say it earlier, it makes me anxious, this is the best, quickly Shuisheng, you follow these brothers to them, set off by truck, motorcycle and fast horse, and snatch out the fast horses used by our group of communication squads, and bring them with you, as much as you can catch up, it's too late, you have to hurry." t1706231537:
