After the first wave of Japanese attacks was completed, the second echelon immediately emerged from the clouds and dropped a large number of bombs, which landed on the Wushan Fort and Bingtai of Jiangyin Fortress, as well as the Xishantai of Jiangyin Fortress, and the fortress artillery of Huangshantai.
Blow up all the fortress artillery groups of the national army.
The Japanese navy has used aerial bombing tactics in its maritime operations against the Chinese navy since the beginning of the war. A large number of aircraft carriers such as Shokaku were used as platforms and take-off bases for carrier-based aircraft groups, and a large number of carrier-based bombers were launched to carry out air raids and bombings.
Instead of sending warships to engage in a head-on naval battle with the Chinese navy.
In the Battle of Jiangyin, most of the battleships lost by the Japanese army were not the latest Japanese ocean-going battleships, but some offshore or old destroyers, gunboats and other ships that were being replaced and retired.
Even in the Jiangyin naval battle that was launched on November 30 and is coming to an end, although the Japanese army ostensibly dispatched 15 Japanese ships and once again attempted to land at Jiangyin port and occupy it,
However, due to the fierce firepower of the fortress forts on the Jiangyin defense line of the National Army, the Japanese Navy lost several ships, which once again made the Japanese Navy no longer consider landing directly from the water to attack Jiangyin City.
Therefore, after the defeat of the Japanese surface fleet on the 30th, the Japanese base camp planned to focus on the land attack after conducting the final air raid.
"Baga! These damn China Army fortress artillery groups were actually able to sink several of our warships into the sea?"
"It's really abominable. If we continue fighting like this, I'm afraid the base camp will never allow our naval forces to launch another fearless attack this time!"
"Then the rest of the battle will be taken away by those Army guys!"
"It's really abominable! This time we are going to take advantage of those Army guys again!"
"Basically all the naval fleets of the China Army were destroyed by our Imperial Navy!"
Major General Eijiro Kondo, the new commander of the Japanese reorganized 11th Division,
He felt irritated when he saw his fleet of carrier-based bombers bombarding various forts in Jiangyin City.
Because his fleet had once again lost several ships before launching a large number of carrier-based bombers for air strikes, so he was not willing to see this loss at all.
So now he is also angry and doesn't know how to vent it.
Although the current bombardment by carrier-based bombers seems very fierce, the fortress forts of the national army have not been completely destroyed, because the reinforced defenses against bombing on that side are still relatively good.
"Your Excellency, Commander, we just received a call from the base camp, saying that after our bombing is completed, we can evacuate immediately. Don't continue to waste the ammunition of the carrier-based aircraft group to bomb the China Army. They have approved the army unit to join the army's flying unit to carry out land and air operations.
Let’s work together to capture the remaining Jiangyin City!”
Just after Major General Eijiro Kondo, the new commander of the 11th team, cursed irritably, Chief of Naval Staff Kensaki Matsuura also looked anxious and ran over to give him a report.
"What! Are we required to evacuate so soon?"
"How long has it been since our attack?"
"Baga! No! We have to fight until dusk. If we still can't capture Jiangyin City, then I will be willing to evacuate. Otherwise, where will I show off my face as the new commander?"
"How long have we been fighting now? We haven't even had two hours, and it's really embarrassing for me to lead the team to evacuate!"
After hearing this, the new commander, Major General Eijiro Kondo, immediately responded angrily.
"Okay! I understand, Commander!"
"If that's the case, then this time I will fight with you to the end!"
"I will reply to the base camp, we will only evacuate after evening!"
After seeing that the new commander, Major General Eijiro Kondo, had made up his mind,
Chief of Naval Staff Kenaki Matsuura also nodded in agreement and said.
Because he is also a veteran officer brought by the other party to assist in the battle,
So he still needs to stand in his camp,
He was given the position of chief of staff because he was promoted and assisted by the other party.
Once the other party falls or doesn't like him anymore, his position as chief of staff will be in crisis.
"Sigh! You still understand my thoughts!"
"Don't worry! In this battle, our 11th team will definitely be able to complete the attack from the water and fully seize Jiangyin City, which is defended by the Chinese Army!"
"For the honor of the Imperial Navy and the glory of His Majesty!"
"We must achieve final victory!"
After seeing that Chief of Staff Matsuura Kenaki, who he had helped to promote, came to support him,
The new commander, Major General Eijiro Kondo, was also very satisfied and responded confidently.
"Hai!"
Chief of Naval Staff Kensaki Matsuura nodded quickly and responded.
Immediately go back to the communications room and reply to the base camp.
Of course, how to reply without being scolded and punished by the base camp was difficult for him.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for activating the temporary combat mission. Please immediately send your clone flying troops to Jiangyin City to bomb the Japanese 11th Battle Team! If you sink at least 5 ships, you will get 60 82mm mortars and MG42 general machine guns.
60, each requires 50 tons of ammunition!”
"In addition, there are 30 German Panzerfaust 100-type 30mm rocket launchers, equipped with 120 armor-piercing projectiles!"
"Please host choose whether to accept this temporary combat mission!"
Just when the Japanese 11th Troop made up their mind to attack and capture Jiangyin City from the water in the evening,
He Feiyang, who had already led his troops to the Guangde area, also heard the temporary combat order suddenly issued by the system in his mind.
"accept!"
Hearing this, He Feiyang agreed immediately without even thinking about it.
Since there were so many supplies of weapons, equipment and ammunition, why didn't he agree?
And he only needs to use his thoughts to send out the flying troops in his mind to fight, and they are also equipped with clone pilots, so it is just a matter of thoughts.
So after He Feiyang agreed to accept the task,
Soon, 12 JU88 bombers and 8 F4U Corsair fighter jets began to suddenly appear in the airspace somewhere, and flew towards the Japanese 11th Squadron on the other side of Jiangyin City, preparing for an air raid.
At this time, the entire army and civilians in Jiangyin City were panicked by a group of carrier-based bombers dispatched by the Japanese Navy.
Even many soldiers and civilians were secretly thinking something bad was going on, wondering whether the Jiangyin City they were holding on to would be completely occupied by the Japanese's 11th Battle Fleet within today.
So for a time, the entire Jiangyin City fell into panic.
Even the national army defenders were thinking about whether there would be an evacuation order issued.
