These five torpedoes were all produced by the Soviet Union, with a range of 800 yards and a speed of 20 knots. They were overkill for use in the Yangtze River waterway. Ouyang Yun ignored it. The Yangtze River Fleet, following the Second Aviation Corps, had become a threat to the northward legion. The biggest obstacle to the survival of the chariot troops. If the Jiangbei troops want to return to the south of the Yangtze River, they must solve this sharp knife hanging on the Yangtze River waterway. Now, since they have come to the door voluntarily, it would be unreasonable not to seize the opportunity. ,
The distance of two to three hundred meters was only a blink of an eye. When the torpedo reached its maximum speed, the target was also reached.
On the Japanese ship, the attention of all the Japanese soldiers on duty was attracted by the continuous fireballs a few kilometers away. Although they were about five kilometers away, the explosions were still earth-shattering. Many Japanese soldiers looked at the flames and imagined The Chinese soldiers who died in the flames could not help but have a cruel sneer on their faces.
No one noticed that several water lines were quickly rushing towards several main gunboats in the Yangtze River Fleet. Shi Zhengguo and the others were treading water and holding their breaths as they looked at their masterpieces. Everyone felt a little uneasy in their hearts. They were all the first. When I operate a torpedo, I don’t even know how the torpedo works and whether it works or not.
The answer was soon revealed. Two huge fireballs shot up from the middle and rear of the gunboat directly in front. The next moment, a loud "rumbling" sound came, and the middle and rear of the gunboat was immediately covered by fire. ,
The explosion came so suddenly that the Japanese soldiers on the gunboat named "Hehe" were not aware of it. They were lifted off the deck by the explosion. Many of them fell headfirst on the deck, with their heads bruised and bleeding. "He He" The next second after the "Crane" was hit by a torpedo, three huge fireballs exploded at the draft of the "Ju He"'s hull at the right rear of it, and then there was another earth-shattering explosion. This series of explosions It lasted for as long as a minute. One of the three torpedoes hit the gunboat's ammunition compartment, and the ammunition inside exploded. In three minutes at most, the ship with a displacement of 5,000 tons was destroyed. The gunboat of about 700 tons was torn into pieces.
Kamakura Sukeji Jun's command ship was only about 500 meters away from the two gunboats. When the first two fireballs exploded, his eyes widened and he shouted: "What's going on?" In an instant, the "Juhe" was directly torn into pieces, and his face suddenly turned livid. He shouted again: "Chun Shang, hurry up, order the landing ship to return to the north bank. The Chinese may be equipped with shallow-water submarines."
Harunami was his liaison officer. Hearing this, he immediately ran outside the cabin and directed the signalman to send out the command signal with a signal light.
The river water surged in like a tidal wave, immediately engulfing Shi Zhengguo and the others. The nearby big explosion injected vigorous power into the river water. After the "Ju He" was hit, it only stayed on the river surface for a few minutes. The bell sank about 100 meters away, creating a huge whirlpool there.
Shi Zhengguo and the others had been prepared for this scene, so they did not show any panic. They swam along the water to the north bank, and soon swam to the north of the river amidst the "rumbling" explosions.
On the artillery position on the south bank, Zhang Tianquan was already losing his composure. He had even thought about it. If the fish team failed to carry out the attack in another ten minutes, he would order the artillery fire regardless. Shi Zhengguo did not Failing them, when two gunboats were engulfed by fireballs and one of them sank directly, he pressed the microphone's transmit button with his right thumb and calmly ordered: "I am No. 0, I order, fire the gun."
In an instant, only the sound of "Duh duh duh..." was heard continuously. In an instant, nearly 150 heavy artillery and 300 medium-sized artillery roared on the south bank at the same time. Hundreds of fireballs instantly cut across the sky. The next moment, the Japanese army was destroyed. The Yangtze River Fleet occupies more than half of the water surface.
"Boom, boom..." As fireballs rose into the sky one after another, explosions sounded continuously, and water columns rose into the sky one after another. At the same time, at least a dozen Japanese ships were hit by bombs in various parts. In an instant, A fire was lit,
"Enemy attacks, enemy attacks." "Fight the fire." "The enemy is there, fight back."...
With continuous explosions and various shouts, the Japanese ships immediately became a mess. The flagship of the Yangtze River Fleet was the "Hyuuga" ship with a displacement of about 7,000 tons. The "Hyuuga" ship was quite lucky. It fired more than a dozen shells. It fell around it, but none of them hit directly. The high water column caused the "Hyuuga" ship to swing greatly. Kamakura Sukeji Jun held on to the handle on the command platform and stabilized it. body, the previous attacks on the "Hehe" and the "Juhe" must have come from underwater and were undoubtedly torpedoes. The "Juhe" was directly bombed and sunk, and the "Hehe" also lost its combat effectiveness. The Yangtze River Fleet's The capital ship is the "Crane" class, with only five ships in total. The sudden loss of two ships has affected the overall strength of the fleet. Before the war, Kamakura Sukejijun did an in-depth study of the Xuebing Army. Considering that The superiority of its infantry weapons, so when he encountered an underwater attack, he naturally thought of a shallow-water submarine. But only then did he know that the underwater attack was only an auxiliary, and the real killer move came from the shore, Kamakura Jie Erjun remembered a phone call with Okamura Neiji. The latter was surprised that the artillery of the Xuebing Army had not been put into the battlefield for a long time. Only then did he know that they had transferred all the artillery here to prepare for him. thrash,
Looking at the density of the artillery shells, the Xuebing Army must have gathered at least about 500 cannons on the south bank, and a considerable number of them were heavy artillery. Ouyang Yun, a Chinese man, was so courageous that he actually gathered all the artillery. ,
"Boom." A violent explosion a hundred meters away woke Kamakura out of his thoughts. A small gunboat of about 500 tons exploded because the ammunition depot was hit. As a huge fireball rose, The next moment, the gunboat was torn apart and fell into the river.
"Commander, several captains called and asked what to do..."
"Your Mightiness……"
Harukami hurried up and reported anxiously. Behind him, there were several combat staff officers. Kamakura noticed the frightened expressions on each of their faces. He looked around again. There were disasters everywhere. There were all explosions, and the shells from the south bank continued to hit. Realizing that staying here would only lead to the exhaustion of the entire army, he swallowed hard and ordered in a hoarse voice: "Order a retreat. Get out first." Let’s talk about it in ten kilometers.”
It turned out to be a retreat rather than a counterattack. Harukami thought he had heard wrong, so he tentatively asked: "Your Excellency."
Kamakura's eyes widened and he shouted: "Ba Ge, retreat, don't you understand?"
