At the moment when Liao Taichang, who was on the Jiangyin Battery, launched an artillery bombardment on the garrison of the 104th Army, Deputy Commander Li of the Jiangfang Fleet sailing on the Yangtze River immediately ordered the warships and gunboats to raise the red flag for the liaison of the uprising, and all the naval guns bombarded the heavy artillery positions of the 104th Army on the south bank.
The Jiangyin Fort and the river defense fleet on the river have all surrendered to the Communist Party, so how can this river defense be defended, it is better to keep the team and evacuate in the direction of Shanghai as soon as possible, anyway, Commander Tang had a secret order before.
Their own troops can only be withdrawn from the Jiangfang position here in the moment of crisis.
The shells from the large-caliber cannons on the Jiangyin Fort smashed on the heavy artillery positions of the 104th Army, and the artillery was blackened at that time, thinking that the Jiangbei river-crossing troops had launched an attack, so they threw down the cannons and ran to the south.
At this moment, Zhou Wu, who was in Jiangbei, received the news that the Jiangyin Fort and the Jiangfang Fleet were opening artillery bombardment on the positions of the 104th Army, and thought that it was the commander Liao Tai on the fort who had carried out a battlefield uprising in advance, and that our Jiangbei crossing troops could take advantage of this great opportunity to launch a fierce attack and destroy the 104th Army's river defense defense on the opposite side in one fell swoop Zhou Wu immediately called Commander Li and told him his judgment, and Commander Li agreed with Zhou Wu's opinion and decided to launch a general attack on the enemy south of the Yangtze River on all fronts.
Commander Li gave an order, on the front of thousands of kilometers from Tongling in Anhui Province in the west to Jiangyin in Jiangsu Province in the east, thousands of artillery pieces almost simultaneously sent out a deadly roar to the positions south of the Yangtze River, and the shells rushed to the south bank of the Yangtze River with a roar of death, and exploded violently on the beachhead.
These strong men who were captured as soldiers had no choice, so they had to hide in the trenches with spears and endure the explosion and impact of shells from Jiangbei, and I heard the villagers say that the People's Liberation Army in Jiangbei has millions of people, and there are thousands of cannons alone, and we must not be able to resist so many attacks here, wait for the next time or look at the point with your eyes wide open, and see an opportunity to slip away to save your own life.
Raise your hands to them and shout surrender.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of wooden boats loaded with the PLA troops rushed into the water towards the south of the Yangtze River, Zhou Wu's Huang Shuisheng's water division was undoubtedly the pioneer, their gunboats in front, armed fishing boats in the back, rushed to the front of the troops crossing the river, because the commander of the 104th Army Fan fled in a hurry, his retreat order was not conveyed to the various troops below in time, so that there was such a strange phenomenon, some of the troops of the 104th Army desperately evacuated to the south and fled, Some of them were still resisting the rushing PLA flotilla on the river defense positions on the river bank, and these teams that did not receive the evacuation order first became the target of Huang Shuisheng's fleet, and after meeting with Deputy Commander Li's river defense fleet on the river, under the cover of the fierce naval artillery fire of the river defense fleet, gunboats and armed fishing boats rushed towards the Jiangnan position, and then Lao Zhang of Jiangbei commanded the artillery regiment to launch a deadly covering bombardment of the enemy position again and again, which caused the enemy on the river bank position to cry wolf and turn dizzy.
The artillery fire was so fierce that it was like rain, and it made people unable to live At this moment, the artillery that launched an attack on the position of the 104th Army included those large-caliber giant cannons on the Jiangyin Battery, and when the cannon was smashed down, a large pit more than one meter square could come out, and its power was enough to destroy a house entirely, and the Kuomintang officers and soldiers who were bombed were estimated to be unable to find the corpses, and the Jiangfang warships and gunboats of Deputy Commander Li on the river were smaller in caliber than the Jiangyin Battery, but their rate of fire was fast and the firepower was fierce, plus the cannons of Lao Zhang's artillery regiment under Zhou Wu, the three sides beat them together.
Hundreds of cannons of various calibers were violently attacked, and the brothers on the positions of the 104th Army in the south of the Yangtze River had only the strength to parry, where was there any possibility of fighting back, a large number of obstacles were blown up by shells, and all kinds of light and dark bunkers and fortifications were turned into ashes in the artillery fire, and after a while, the ranks on the forward positions broke and fled, and a large number of officers and soldiers abandoned their positions one after another and fled in the direction of Wuxi in the south Huang Shuisheng's advance fleet soon arrived on the south bank, they immediately abandoned the ship and landed, the first to go ashore was a battalion under Huang Shuisheng, the battalion commander surnamed Hu, was an old subordinate who followed Huang Shuisheng, originally did no business in Gaoyou Lake, and later followed Huang Shuisheng to the New Fourth Army, which is also an old revolutionary, with excellent water nature, in the water is like on flat ground, and this person is good at commanding the fleet to fight water battles, and is a member of Huang Shuisheng's capable generals, It is a technical officer who has relied on his military exploits step by step since he was a child, and when he was the king of the water bandit mountain in Gaoyou Lake, someone gave him the nickname of "Desperate Erhu", he was the second oldest in the family, and he didn't want to die in a fight, so he was fortunate to receive this nickname.
The erhu battalion commander's team first landed on the south bank, and after going ashore, he and his brothers quickly seized the commanding heights on the bank of the river, and found that most of the Kuomintang officers and soldiers on the position had abandoned their positions and fled south, only some of the teams that were not working in the market and were not well informed were still desperately resisting.
The remaining enemies are probably out of order.
The commander of the erhu battalion immediately ordered the gunboats and armed fishing boats on the shore to open fire, and he led his brothers to rush up to the enemy position with tongues of fire, and beat them violently, the enemy position really could not withstand the blows of both land and water, and many soldiers were killed, and the rest of the soldiers couldn't run out when they saw it, so they had no choice but to raise the weapons in their hands and shout: "Brothers, stop fighting, we admit defeat and surrender" Soon, the erhu battalion commander cleared the enemy position near the Jiangyin Fort, and opened up a landing site for the follow-up Zhou Wu troops, with the continuous arrival of the large troops, the remaining 104th Army still stubbornly resisted the team has disarmed and surrendered, and the positions all fell into the hands of the Zhou Wu troops, the heavy artillery position of the 104th Army was destroyed by the huge artillery on the Jiangyin Fort, dozens of heavy guns of more than 100 mm caliber were all blown up, the artillery was killed and wounded, and the rest quickly fled to the south of Wuxi.
In this way, the 104th Army, which had more than 20,000 horses, ran out except for a regiment led by Commander Fan, and the rest were all annihilated, and the enemy captured by the Zhou Wu troops alone had tens of thousands of people, and it only took less than three hours to fight, and the Jiangyin River fortifications, which were boasted by the Kuomintang army as "impregnable", were soon wiped out, and the Kuomintang troops in Jiangyin City also fled when they heard the news, and the fat man's team soon attacked Jiangyin City, and a big red flag was planted on the city, announcing the liberation of Jiangyin City, a strategic place on the Yangtze River.
The next morning, a large group of PLA soldiers climbed up to the presidential palace in Nanjing, tore down the blue sky and white sun flag above, raised a red flag, Nanjing City was all occupied by the People's Liberation Army, this is full of suffering and humiliation, during the Anti-Japanese War suffered from the massacre of Japanese devils The ancient capital was finally liberated, the people in the city have walked out of their homes and came to the street to welcome the PLA team into the city, at this moment not only the ancient city of Nanjing attracted a new life, Since the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the people of Nanjing, who are full of hope that they can live a good life, have endured the soaring prices in the past three years, and after enduring the torment of starvation, they are finally looking forward to the arrival of the People's Liberation Army Before Zhou Wu had settled down in Jiangyin City, he received a telegram from Commander Li, asking him to immediately pursue the fleeing Kuomintang troops outside Shanghai, block the enemy's retreat, and encircle and annihilate them Zhou Wu received this pursuit order from the commander, his head was a lot bigger, there was still a distance of 200 kilometers from Jiangyin to Shanghai, and the fleeing Kuomintang troops did not have other skills, but this running speed was still very good, plus with the help of trucks and other four-wheeled troops, the Kuomintang troops in Jiangyin and other places quickly ran to Wuxi, and some even ran to Suzhou, and were about to enter the city of Shanghai.
Zhou Wu looked at it, relying on the two legs of the soldiers to catch up with the fleeing Kuomintang army, this is a plain area, the terrain is flat, there is no mountain road like in the Yimeng Mountains of Shandong Province can be chased at that time, even if they try their best to pursue, the soldiers' legs are definitely not as fast as the wheels of the car, if you want to catch up with them, you must find another way to use your brains At this time, a report came from outside the door: "Commander Liao of the Jiangyin Fort and Deputy Commander Li of the Jiangfang Fleet are here." ” As soon as Zhou Wu heard the two of them, he immediately had a bold idea in his mind, so he immediately said to the sentry: "Hurry up, please" t1706231537:
