218 Fierce Battle on the River
"Sir, we don't have many shells left on our battleship."
On the Japanese battleship Kirishima, not long after the naval guns fired, a Japanese officer ran over to report.
The demon Colonel Miyazaki looked very unhappy.
He remembered that he had given the order when the Kirishima first arrived.
The naval guns fired at the National Army positions on the other side of Mufu Mountain for a long time.
As a result, almost half of the shells in their ship's ammunition depot were consumed.
Now, that stupid decision is starting to backfire on them.
However, at this time, the Japanese colonel would definitely not admit this mistake in front of his subordinates.
He yelled loudly: "Baga.
This time, as long as the army's group of elks can open up the downstream waterway.
We can escape and leave, so why would we need artillery shells then?
Don't save the ammunition, use all of it.
Bomb those damn Chinese to death."
"Hi!"
When the Japanese officer heard what the Japanese colonel said, he immediately responded.
Boom boom!
Afterwards, the Japanese battleship Kirishima began to open fire at full capacity.
Their remaining three naval guns continued to fire shells.
At the same time, the remaining machine gun fire on their ship was also fired at the Kuomintang ships in the shallow waters on the deck.
Even the Japanese ship Kirishima was sailing slowly downstream.
Go forward and downstream to meet up with their other two destroyers.
Boom!
A naval gun shell fell on the water, and the huge explosion power did not kill the Chinese ship.
However, the nearest ship was still overturned.
"His grandmother,
Why did the guns on that Japanese battleship suddenly become more powerful? "
Someone cursed.
"Don't worry, they won't be strong for long.
I just don’t believe how many shells there are on this big ship of the Japanese.”
Someone said through gritting teeth.
As expected, the Japanese naval guns on the Kirishima were only rampant for the last half hour.
It was completely silent.
Ye Qingshan was on the shore, and when he saw this scene, he sneered, "The Japanese Kirishima should be out of shells."
“Since there are no shells left on the battleship Kirishima.
Then, sir, can we organize a charge?
Just seize their battleship."
The young martial artist next to him came up with a bold idea at this time.
Ye Qingshan glanced at him, then turned back and said, "Your idea is very bold.
But it's not feasible.
Although the Japanese ship Kirishima had no shells left, its other firepower was still fierce.
Even though the Japs above only had rifles left.
They are hiding on that tall warship, shooting down from above. Think about how many people have to die before you can board their warship. "
"Yeah, I just thought it was simple."
The young martial artist nodded.
However, Ye Qingshan hadn’t finished speaking yet.
As a result, Ye Qingshan saw that some members of the National Army on the other side of the river had actually organized an attacking fleet.
Rushed towards the Japanese battleship Kirishima.
"What are they going to do? I can't be right.
They saw that the Kirishima had no guns, so they wanted to attack the Kirishima."
The young martial artist was also shocked that his words had come true.
"madness.
The commander of the Kuomintang army on the opposite side actually treated the naval battle as a land battle.
This is not an offensive battle.”
Ye Qingshan looked unhappy.
However, he had no choice because he could not command the opposing Kuomintang troops.
Before long, dozens of ships on the other side surrounded the Kirishima battleship, like a group of piranhas hunting a giant whale.
But the National Army forces on the other side organized an attack against the Kirishima.
It is actually beneficial to Ye Qingshan.
They tied down a large amount of firepower on the Kirishima, allowing Ye Qingshan to send a fleet down from upstream.
Most of them arrived downstream safely to support Lu Dahai and his team.
At this time, battles were taking place everywhere on this stretch of the Yangtze River that stretched for several kilometers.
The battle on Lu Dahai's side downstream was even more intense.
The ships of both sides engaged in a fierce offensive and defensive battle around the minefield.
Fortunately, Zheng Quezi sent Zhao Dongsheng over in time. They found some hiding fishermen nearby and used their boats to join the battle in the river.
Also, the reinforcements sent by Ye Qingshan from upstream arrived in a timely manner.
Otherwise, Lu Dahai's troops downstream would have been unable to hold on.
Even so, more than 300 ships of all sizes on both sides were still engaged in a fierce battle.
No one planned to retreat.
The two Japanese destroyers even rarely approached the torpedo area to support the Japanese on the ships of the 116th Regiment.
The commander on the Japanese destroyer also knew that this might be their best chance to escape.
With the arrival of the reinforcements sent by Ye Qingshan, the national army had fewer ships and soldiers on the river.
Once again surpassing the Japanese, he helped Lu Dahai stabilize the situation.
However, although the Japanese had fewer ships and soldiers, they had two destroyers to provide artillery support.
The shells on these two destroyers are enough to sustain them for a while.
As a result, the battle on the river downstream became a stalemate.
For a while, no one could do anything to anyone else, and no one was willing to give up first.
The rest can only be left to time.
As for the fleet organized by the National Army on the opposite side, it launched an attack on the Kirishima.
It’s similar to what Ye Qingshan said.
After an hour or so, it failed before dark.
Although the Japanese ship Kirishima's guns had no shells, they laid the anti-aircraft guns flat and used them as flat-fire guns.
That power is even more terrible.
The shells fired could directly tear the ships of the National Army into pieces.
There were other Japanese soldiers using machine guns and rifles to form a fire network on the deck.
These national army ships didn't even have the chance to get close to the Kirishima.
Not to mention boarding the ship.
"This... this is too tragic."
The young warrior used a telescope to see the attacking fleet organized by the National Army on the opposite side, such a tragic scene.
I was also shocked.
“Humph, the commander who organized this attack is just an idiot.
Now, if he were in front of me, I would kill him."
Ye Qingshan said unhappily.
“Do you really think that this credit is so easy to grab?
Why don't I let our ships get close to the Japanese battleship Kirishima?
They were forced to bypass the Kirishima, take the shallow waters on both sides of the river, and head downstream to join the battle.
It's because the Japanese battleship Kirishima is now like a dragon trapped in shallow water.
They still have very terrifying fighting power.
To approach the Kirishima like this without the support of artillery fire is to seek death."
"It's a pity that those soldiers were harmed by this stupid decision."
Ye Qingshan looked at the anti-aircraft guns placed flat by the Japanese on the river, the many destroyed ships, and the countless floating corpses of Kuomintang soldiers.
I couldn't help but sigh.
Fortunately, their sacrifice was not meaningless, as it bought some time for Lu Dahai and others downstream.
(The final battle is imminent, please give me some small gifts!)
