Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 577 Defending Nanjing ([-])

Compared with the previous day's plan to show weakness to the enemy, Ouyang Yun had thought much more carefully about the fire and burning of the ship this time. It can be said that every detail was considered.

Including him, Xiao Yi's team consisted of ten people, in groups of five, lurking on the riverbanks or in the reeds on both sides of the Yangtze River.

When artificial thick fog began to fall on the river, Xiao Yi and the others immediately tensed up, grabbed the binoculars in their hands, and stared at the bows of the Japanese ships passing through the mist on the river almost without blinking. and water parts.

Xiao Yi's team has two radio stations in total, the reason for this is to make it easier for them to get in touch with L-19. The L-19 bomber sent them a telegram after reaching the sky above the Jiangyin Fortress, and the Xiao Yi team that received the telegram only needed to confirm that the chains of gasoline barrels drifted into the Japanese fleet with the wave, and then they could generate electricity for the L-19, allowing them to An attack has been launched.

At around [-]:[-], when the Japanese ships fired their guns one after another and launched shelling at the positions of the forts such as the Huangshan Fort and the location of the fleet, the chain of gasoline barrels finally drifted into the Japanese fleet.

Xiao Yi immediately ordered: "Generate power to L-19, it can attack!"

"Yes!" The two team members cooperated and put the key on a soldier's back to start generating electricity.

In the sky above, the captain of an L-19 that received the telegram immediately notified the information to another L-19 next to it, and then dived down from the Asahi fleet at an altitude of 2000 meters.

In order to capture the Jiangyin fortress in one fell swoop, Nagakawa, the commander of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet, personally commanded this time, dispatching more than 60 ships of various types, including four cruisers and more than [-] gunboats of various types.

When the Xue Bingjun began to release smoke bombs on the river, the suspicious Chang Chuan once had a trace of doubt.However, thinking of the many mines laid by the Chinese navy on this section of the river, he thought that the Chinese were trying to cover up the traces of the mines laid in shallow waters, so after transferring several minesweepers to the front of the fleet, he relaxed his vigilance .As the fleet got closer to the Jiangyin Fortress, the smoke became thicker and thicker. In order to prevent hitting the mines, he ordered all the fleets to slow down their sailing speed, and at the same time began to frequently move towards the river area where several forts and the national navy fleet might appear. Fiercely fired.

When the two L-19s arrived over the fleet, Nagakawa, who received the report from the Kisarazu Air Force, was a little nervous. After all, according to the information he had, the bombers imported from the United States by the cadet army had a terrifying bomb load. One is worth their ten.However, thinking of the air defense capability of the entire fleet and the huge size of the enemy aircraft, he felt relieved.He even hoped that those two planes would really come to bomb him. In that case, with the fleet's air defense capabilities, he would definitely be able to beat them down.

At around [-]:[-], the minesweeper in front suddenly sent an enemy alert, saying that a large number of gasoline barrels were found, and many of them were filled with gasoline.Chang Chuan suddenly became nervous. He was not too stupid and immediately realized that this was a conspiracy of the Chinese people. After a little brainstorming, he thought of the possible evil consequences of these gasoline barrels. "Retreat! Spread out! All retreat! Order, the minesweeper will salvage those gasoline barrels..." Suddenly realizing it, he began to issue a series of orders, and at this moment, the air defense siren sounded.

The flying speed of the L-19 was very fast, and they quickly reduced to a bombing distance of about 800 meters from the river surface. Then, as the bombardier pressed the bombing button, napalm bombs roared down——Japanese fleet In the sky, dense black spots suddenly appeared.

A distance of 800 meters is covered in minutes for a free-falling bomb.Then, these bombs exploded in a series of violent explosions——in Xiao Yi's telescope, the fireball produced by the explosion grew at a terrifying speed, and it detonated from a small fireball to a volume as large as two basketballs in an instant. Field size fireball.The fireballs scattered in all directions, causing a raging fire immediately.

That’s not to mention, those gasoline barrels full of gasoline have turned into napalm bombs at this time, some were detonated directly, and some exploded one after another because they couldn’t stand the high temperature of the fire, and immediately killed the bombs. The ship or the river they were entangled in turned into a sea of ​​flames.

The two L-19s did not cause much damage to the Japanese Third Fleet. After all, the ammunition load was limited and the accuracy was not good. Less than half of the ten bombs actually hit the target directly. Those gasoline barrels caused almost all the ships of the Japanese Third Fleet to fall into flames, and the casualties this caused to the Japanese army cannot be calculated.You know, at that time, almost all the gunboats of the Japanese army were firing fiercely, that is to say, all the Japanese fighters were on the deck.Even though the ship was not directly hit, but because of being trapped by the fire, even if those devil soldiers were not directly burned to death by the fire, there were not a few of them who were smoked to death or even scalded to death.Those iron-clad boats are not so much ships at this time, it is more appropriate to describe them as iron pots, and those devil soldiers are ants in the pot——

"Commander, this napalm bomb is really not for human use!" The fire dispersed the smoke, and Shan Renxiong saw through the binoculars a large number of human-shaped fireballs fell on the deck or jumped into the water. Judging from the degree, it is definitely a heart-wrenching pain. This guy who kills devils without blinking an eye, said with emotion like he suddenly changed the heart of a bodhisattva.

On the flagship of the Japanese Third Fleet, Chang Chuan was completely stunned by the tragic scene in front of him.Compared with most devil soldiers, this old devil is considered lucky.Why do you say that?Because of the commander, he stayed in the cab all the time, so he was lucky not to be touched by the gasoline splashed by the napalm bomb, and thus avoided becoming a human-shaped fireball.However, even though he was in the cab, he still couldn't bear the high temperature caused by the burning on the deck. After persisting for a few minutes, he was dragged to the bottom of the cabin by several officers.

It's not enough just to ignite the fire, the flames are together, and they are flames that cannot be extinguished by water.However, almost all the gunboats of the Japanese army had a large number of artillery shells piled up on the deck. In this way, there was a fire first, and then these bombs were killed because they were not resistant to high temperatures.These are not enough to cause Changchuan to collapse. After all, these bombs on the deck cannot cause too much damage to the hull. Although heavy casualties cannot be avoided, if most of the ships in the fleet can be safely belted Thinking about it, he wouldn't be criticized too harshly.However, those shells were not the only ones detonated by the fire. Even Ouyang Yun did not expect that the fire that spread almost across the entire river actually detonated some torpedoes, which directly caused the Japanese fleet to have three small gunboats. Two cruisers were also sunk.

This "burning ship" is not over yet—the Chinese are best at beating dogs in the water. The officers and soldiers of the Second Fleet of the Chinese Navy, who were bullied by the Japanese army for a long time and had to hide in the military port, expressed their deep hatred To describe their perception of the Japanese Third Fleet is still insufficient, and they finally seized such an opportunity, so naturally they refused to let it go.As a result, they, who were originally tasked with attracting the enemy and preparing to be cannon fodder, turned into the real protagonists of this "Jiangjiang War".

What's more, the forts of the fortress that had been forced to be silent for a long time finally couldn't bear the loneliness at this time, and began to fire one after another.

Chen Shaokuan was originally planning to look at this battle and get out of the way. After all, the warship he was on was a bit special, and it was the national treasure of the Nanjing government—that is, the "Zhongshan Ship".Once he confesses here, he will become a big sinner.But he didn't expect that Ouyang Yun could use those gasoline barrels to produce such a feast.

"His grandma, this kid Ouyang Yun is really amazing!" After witnessing the effect of "burning the ship with fire", he roared like this, and then said to the stunned captain of the Zhongshan ship beside him: "Why are you standing still like this? It’s a good opportunity, if you don’t take the opportunity to grab it, it’s not a big loss! Go up and beat him like a dog!"

Everything that happened on the river was definitely a nightmare for the little devil pilots of the Japanese Kisarazu Air Force.It's really unbelievable, you know, this time the Third Fleet has not dispatched other than the two aircraft carriers and several battleships, but all the others that can be dispatched have been dispatched!But now it seems that the number of ships not only fails to reflect the advantage, but also allows the Chinese people to take advantage of it...

"Eight grids! Why is this happening?"

"What should we do now?"

Of the three waves of Japanese fighter planes, except for the ones that were shot down, all the fighter planes of the first two waves have returned, and now only about nine attack planes of the third wave are left.

The beating of the dog in the water by the Chinese fleet made them very disdainful. After all, it was not a day or two since they flew to Jiangyin Fortress, but this was the first time they saw the enemy behave so bravely.While cursing bitterly, or talking to themselves, a group of little devils began to seek advice from their commander, Bo Ye, three times.These devil pilots all know that if no one supports the third fleet at this moment, they are likely to be eaten by the Chinese fleet.Bo Ye knew the overall situation three times, and he immediately ordered that all fighter planes abandon the current bombing target and bomb the Chinese fleet instead.

There is a process of changing the thinking of the Japanese aviation force, and during this period, the few national warships running at the forefront have already tasted the wonderful taste of sinking the Japanese ship.Among them, because the Zhongshan ship was the first to make the pursuit decision, it not only sank two Japanese minesweepers, but also beat a gunboat named Rongjian to its tail.However, the arrival of the Japanese plane made them have to turn to air defense warfare. For this reason, Chen Shaokuan cursed those devil soldiers flying in the sky, and even cursed "his grandma's" several times. Then he quoted a famous saying from an ancient general in the Song Dynasty: The cooked duck flew away!
