As soon as Huang Shuisheng saw that the Kuomintang warships were firing at him, he immediately ordered Deputy Commander Li's river defense fleet to rush forward, and his armed fishing boats immediately dispersed and rushed towards the Kuomintang warships in battle group formation.
Although the firepower of the armed fishing boats is far inferior to those small warships of the Kuomintang army, they are large in number and small in size, and in the vast sea, the naval guns of the Kuomintang army want to hit these armed fishing boats that are erratic on the sea surface, and the armed fishing boats that are maneuvering and flexible back and forth are like fighting mosquitoes with big fists, and they are more than capable of fighting back, once they are approached, those warships of the Kuomintang army are almost powerless to fight back, and the melee firepower is still stronger than the armed fishing boats, and the light and heavy machine guns and mortar grenades are smashed, and the warships of the Rao is fleet are thick in skin and armor, The naval guns could not be hit due to the problem of firing angle and firing range, and the firepower of melee weapons was not as good as that of a large number of armed fishing boats that rushed up.
Deputy Commander Li came this time with a sigh of relief, last time he was almost blown up by the bombers of the Kuomintang Air Force to sink the flagship to feed the fish, returned to Jiangyin, although Zhou Wu did not criticize him so much, but he always felt very cowardly, nested in the Jiangyin fort with Lao Liao to study the way to deal with the enemy's air raids, and how to find the second fleet of the old enemy to do a big job, in order to avenge the past, this time the opportunity came, he did not show all his strength, but rushed up vigorously, to put Commander Lin to death Four thousand-ton river defense ships rushed towards Chief Lin's flagship at full speed, and Chief Lin hurriedly ordered the naval guns to intercept them, but although the naval guns were large in caliber and powerful, they were not like this, although they were equipped with advanced fire control radars, it was not so easy to hit the fast-moving river defense warships on the rolling waves and floating on the sea, and most of the shells smashed into the sea, except for the explosions that rose up one after another high walls of water, adding some spectacular scenes to the naval battle.
Still unable to stop Deputy Commander Li who rushed up in the midst of artillery fire, Lao Li personally went into battle this time, driving the river defense ship in front, and the three river defense ships in the back were desperate at first glance, if they didn't work hard, it would be too embarrassing, so they all rushed forward bravely and rushed towards the three big warships of Chief Lin as if they were desperate Having already rushed into the dead end of the guns of Chief Lin's large warship, Deputy Commander Li hurriedly visually estimated the distance, and felt that it was time to open fire and bombard the old enemy opposite, we have been fighting in the Kuomintang for decades, and today we can settle the new and old accounts together Most of the naval guns on these river defense ships were more than 100 millimeters caliber, the size was appropriate, and the firing range was just right, and the distance of 1,000 meters was hit by armor-piercing shells, hitting the waterline armor of the warships of the Second Fleet of the Navy on the opposite side, as crisp and neat as a quick knife poking tofu, and a burst of armor-piercing shells smashed over, and Chief Lin's flagship was hit with several armor-piercing shells, the steel armor was pierced, and a large amount of sea water roared and swarmed in.
The fire was in the sky, the smoke was billowing out, although the sailors on the ship were desperately fighting, but then several shells shot penetrated into the flagship's ammunition depot, more than a few thousand degrees of high temperature and high pressure made the reserve ammunition in the flagship ammunition depot instantly exploded, a yellow-red light suddenly shone up, and then an earth-shattering huge explosion came one after another, the hull of the four-thousand-ton cruiser of Chief Lin was cut into two pieces by the explosion in an instant, and the bow and stern quickly wailed and plunged to the bottom of the sea, The explosion in the middle was raised high, and the fire was still burning, and the shattered hull fell into the water with the flames, and it was still burning on the water.
The water surface is full of sailors struggling to fall into the water, the hull next to it is tilting down towards the sea, these sailors are struggling to swim outside, trying to swim out of the deadly whirlpool when the bow of the ship sinks, four or five thousand tons of something suddenly sank into the water, the surrounding water flow is like hundreds of high-pressure water pumps pumping water at the same time, forming a huge cavity effect, the huge adsorption force is like an eight-legged octopus in the sea will be those sailors who have not had time to swim out of the water surface ruthlessly swept into the whirlpool, Along with the sunken warship, he was buried at the bottom of the sea and fed to the fish When the warship was about to sink, Chief Lin was picked up by the officers around him and jumped into the water, and several lifeboats approached, except for choking on a few mouthfuls of water and being drenched in soup, there was no big problem.
The commander of the fleet ran away in the desert, and the remaining warships were in a mess, fighting for themselves, and it happened that at this time, Huang Shuisheng's gunboats and armed fishing boats arrived and completed the encirclement of the warship, so under Huang Shuisheng's order, two or three groups of more than a dozen armed fishing boats surrounded a warship and fought to the death, and the light and heavy machine guns and mortars played with their lives at the warship, and immediately the warship was hit with flames, thick smoke billowed out, and several warships quickly turned around, and even the companions who were beaten to the ground did not care, and they crashed straight into it, on the spot, the small warship that had lost power was knocked and sunk, and quickly sank to the bottom of the sea, and the sailors on it fell into the water and scolded: "Damn, I even hit my own ship when I ran for my life, brothers, let's surrender, so we can pick up a life" A large number of sailors who fell into the water surrendered to the fishing boats and gunboats under Huang Shuisheng who sailed over, and the brothers of the naval division scooped up those sailors one by one, and as soon as those sailors got on the fishing boats, they scolded the fleeing Kuomintang warships and officers, regardless of their own lives and lives, and fled for their own lives The warships of the Kuomintang Second Fleet fled in a hurry, and the naval officers who had fled were even too panicked to call the air force planes to help, and they all ran desperately at full speed Huang Shuisheng, who commanded the naval battle, saw that Lao Li was still going to pursue him, and was afraid that he would suffer losses in the deep penetration of his lone army, so he hurriedly ordered Deputy Commander Li to stop the pursuit, end the battle, and clean up the battlefield.
Lao Li is still a little reluctant, but there is no way, Huang Shuisheng's orders must be obeyed, otherwise he has just defected from the Kuomintang, if he comes out to write non-stop orders, it will not be easy to act without authorization, so let's just collect the troops and go back, anyway, the second fleet of the old enemy has been beaten to the ground and fled, and the kid surnamed Lin will have to shed his skin if he doesn't die.
I have finally taken revenge.
In this battle, Huang Shuisheng's naval division won a complete victory, sank three enemy ships, damaged five, and captured a large number of Kuomintang sailors, these sailors are the technical talents in the naval division that Huang Shuisheng urgently needs, as long as they go through some ideological transformation and remember the bittersweet memories, they will certainly be able to become the technical backbone of the naval division, so that their own naval division will be worthy of the name of the transition to the naval ranks, and the establishment of a real navy is just around the corner, and it will not be too long.
Zhou Wu was very happy to receive Huang Shuisheng's telegram, and immediately instructed Huang Shuisheng and his naval division to make persistent efforts to march towards Wusongkou, block the enemy's retreat to the sea, capture the Wusongkou fort, and completely block the retreat of Tang Enbo's army from the sea.
After receiving the battle report that the Second Fleet had been defeated and fled, Tang Enbo threw away the telegram head and scolded: "It's all waste, and if the joke that the American steel-armored warship can't do anything about the broken fishing boat, it won't be laughed at by the Americans."
The chief of staff beside Tang Enbo hurriedly said to him: "Commander, if the Second Fleet runs away, then Wusongkou will be in danger, we must send additional defensive forces to Wusongkou, otherwise as soon as those fishing boats come, our sea retreat will be completely cut off, and so many teams in Shanghai will all be dumplings by the army, and the situation is precarious." ” When Commander Tang heard this, his face changed greatly, in fact, he had long understood in his heart that a place like Shanghai could not be defended even if there were the largest number of troops, a large flat land, except for a few more rivers, there was really no place to hold onto, although the reinforced concrete fortifications could be supported for a period of time with the cooperation of tanks and armored vehicles, but it was not a long-term solution, and the naval fleet that he had always relied on before was now fleeing, and even the Wusongkou Fort was about to be conquered, and his sea retreat was cut off, so it was worth it Commander Tang immediately ordered his old subordinate army stationed in Pudong to send a division to reinforce Wusongkou, take over all the houses around the Wusongkou Fort, and forcibly move the surrounding people, in order to clear the shooting boundary, prevent landing in the Wusongkou area, threaten the southeast flank of Shanghai, and keep this retreat channel to the sea Tang Enbo's telegram on the mobilization of the 13th Army in Pudong was quickly intercepted by the communications office of the East China Field Army Headquarters, and it was immediately deciphered, thanks to the merits of those underground party comrades who had been lurking in Tang Enbo's ranks for a long time since before the Anti-Japanese War, these comrades were directly led by the Central Social Department, and had not been used before, including during the Anti-Japanese War, so their identities were very mysterious, and only a few leading comrades of the Central Social Department knew that they existed, and even Commander Li did not know that there was such a thing. t1706231537:
