Base System of Bashu Heroes
Chapter 27 Burning the Ship
The scholar and Dongfang Zhenhua looked at each other and snickered at each other. Dongfang Zhenhua said seriously: "I'm lying, I didn't think that way!"
Not to be outdone, the scholar sarcastically said: "Seriously, I didn't think so either!"
"You..." Xi Zai was angry. He was originally complaining about his lack of knowledge and didn't want to be the butt of the two men's teasing, so he simply ignored them and walked back to the regiment headquarters with the air of Ah Q, and then comforted himself.
, how knowledgeable are you? You still don’t have to listen to me...
In order to prevent the Japanese aircraft from bombing, the sky had just darkened, and Dongfang Zhenhua set off with two battalions. Xi Zai used all available vehicles in Nanjing, even trolleys and wheelbarrows. The oil transport army stretched for several kilometers and hundreds of people.
Barrels of gasoline were transported to the river. Under the command of Dongfang Zhenhua, hundreds of fishing boats quietly approached the ship docked in the center of the river. Hundreds of barrels of gasoline were poured into the river at regular intervals, and then the fishing boats continued to the hidden island in the middle of the river.
Drive away.
Two Japanese cruisers were parked on the river. Six motorboats and four river defense gunboats surrounded the cruisers. The gasoline slowly flowed downstream driven by the water flow. The Japanese ships were soaked in gasoline. The fishing boats had already sailed to the hidden center of the river.
Island, Dongfang Zhenhua glanced at the rocket launcher position.
At 4:15 in the morning, the sky in the east turned reddish, and the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang began to recover. The artillery position was completed. The rocket launcher and two 75 mountain guns were arranged in a trapezoid according to caliber size and range. The 75 gun at the front was
caliber mountain artillery. They are relatively close to the frontline positions. They are light and easy to transfer. Therefore, these small-caliber artillery serve as mobile artillery positions. Behind them are 107 rocket launchers. The rocket launchers have a long range and can cover a range of five kilometers. The rocket launchers are ready.
.
At this time, the soldiers who deployed mines downstream also came to report that more than a dozen mines had been placed in the water, just waiting for Dongfang Zhenhua's order. The time was ripe, Dongfang Zhenhua decisively threw the torch into the river, and suddenly, the river surface was covered with flames for several kilometers.
Soaring into the sky. The sentry who was napping on the side of the Japanese ship was instantly engulfed in flames. He screamed and ran towards the cabin in a panic. The flames on his body ignited the flammable items in the cabin. There was chaos on the ship. The ship commander was still rational and immediately ordered the soldiers to launch a fire.
engine, trying to escape the flames.
On the shore, Dongfang Zhenhua, who looked like a Confucian general and always repaid evil with kindness, felt the pleasure of revenge for the first time when he saw the Japanese troops struggling in the water. Several small gunboats and motorboats started their engines in an attempt to rush out of the sea of fire, but were again used by the soldiers.
The bazooka hit, and the machine guns on the shore spit out tongues of fire happily, and the Japanese soldiers who jumped into the water were swept away one by one.
At the artillery position, flames soared into the sky from the river. The artillery battalion commander Zhou Yaowu, who was fifteen meters away from the rocket launcher, lowered his command flag anxiously. In the artillery nest, thick smoke from the rocket launcher's exhaust rose into the sky, and 12 rockets roared from the artillery nest.
came out, blasting a row of drainage columns in the middle of the river with an overwhelming momentum. A cruiser and two gunboats, which used the cruiser as a dock, were hit by several bullets before they had time to untie the ropes. Thick smoke rose from the ships straight into the sky. The bodies of the cruisers
It was already tilting and sinking slowly.
The momentum of the rocket explosion almost stunned the artillerymen. They fired 12 salvos. Many artillerymen had never seen such a scene. The boy next to him nodded repeatedly: "Did you see it? As an artilleryman of the 22nd Army,
Do you have a sense of pride? Remember it all. The artillerymen of the 22nd Army must have the courage to fight without me."
The artillerymen on the position cheered.
Hearing the cheers, Dongfang Zhenhua along the river also looked back with relief. The scholar was right. Rocket launchers are easy to aim. Artillerymen with low education can still master them well with experience. They can accurately hit the target even if they take aim for the first time.
Dongfang Zhenhua opened the intercom and reported to the scholar: "Hey! Scholar, the first bombardment hit a cruiser and two gunboats. You are so great."...
This result was completely unexpected. The artillerymen were the first to operate. He had no hope of hitting the target. He was also very excited at this moment. "I am not great, but our artillery is great. Tell Xi Zai and let him thank the artillery on my behalf."
warrior……"
The scholar was so excited that he was a little incoherent. Before he could calm down, the voice of Xiaozai came over the intercom again. "Scholar, this thing is loading too slowly. The Japanese cruiser is going to run away."
The scholar was slightly stunned. This was a problem that could not be solved at the technical level. It would take at least half an hour for a skilled artillery operator to complete the loading. The most troublesome thing was the electronic ignition system of the rocket launcher. The scholar shouted at the intercom. "I said it.
Yes, in an emergency, you can fire two or four tubes, instead of firing 12 rounds after loading? You need to be more flexible!"
The guy on the other side of the intercom was stunned for a moment and didn't answer him, and then there was a burst of yelling from the intercom.
Several motorboats and the surviving gunboats had relatively shallow drafts and were desperately trying to reach the shore. The soldiers in the sea of fire could not tell which ones were motorboats. They could only see the outline of a ball of flames. The Japanese soldiers in the motorboats were almost cooked and had just docked.
They ran desperately towards the shore. The infantrymen who could not wait had already softened their aim, and the Japanese soldiers were shot dead before they even got ashore.
Jiang Hui'an from the Wulongshan Fort did not understand what was going on. He saw a sea of fire on the river. He asked Liu Tianchu in desperation. Liu Tianchu also did not understand the situation. After asking around, he learned that it was Dongfang Zhenhua and Xi Zai who burned the Japanese warships.
Liu Tianchu had given an order in advance that each unit could fight on its own and attack independently without reporting to him in advance. He released the hands and feet of the lower-level officers. Although it was quite effective, Jiang Hui'an, Chen Jiaqi and others still had to go ahead and prepare for any major actions.
He said hello. Dongfang Zhenhua and Xizai did not notify him of such a big move, which inevitably made him a little angry.
When Liu Tianchu arrived at the position downstream of Wulong Mountain, the battle was still going on. The Japanese army also discovered the situation on the river. They urgently mobilized Jiangyin's navy and sent a large number of infantry to reinforce the Wulong Mountain river. Under the command of Liu Tianchu, Jiang Hui'an took the initiative to attack.
Went forward to welcome the Japanese troops and met with the Japanese reinforcements near Caozhuang.
The commander of the surviving cruiser on the river was unable to command effectively in the sea of fire. The soldiers scrambled to escape for their lives. In desperation, they had to drive out of the burning water at full speed. The temperature in the cab was getting higher and higher, and the hot air generated by the combustion almost caused the ship to collapse.
Everyone was suffocating and had reached the limit of their endurance.
The rockets at the artillery position had been loaded. Zhou Yaowu waved the command flag again. The rockets deviated from the target and exploded out of sight. Only a few loud explosions were heard.
After the first hit, the ships on the river were at a standstill. Now the ships were moving at full speed. It was much more difficult to hit moving targets. Zhou Yaowu became anxious, put down the command flag, and furiously stuffed a rocket into the barrel. The artilleryman next to him reminded:
"Battal Commander, do you want to fire a single shot?"
"Isn't it possible? Provide the coordinates." Zhou Yaowu roared at the soldiers.
The gunner responsible for observation nearby quickly provided detailed information. "Road 346, direction right 1-12, elevation 15 degrees, ready, release!"
After the gunner's words fell to the ground, Zhou Yaowu decisively pressed the launch button. The rocket hit accurately. The cruiser stopped. It must have hit the engine room. Smoke from the hull instantly rose in the sea of fire.
At this time, "Buzzing..." Two aircraft slightly smaller than bombers and larger than combat aircraft came over the rocket artillery position. The artillerymen who had gone through the Songhu Battle knew clearly that these aircraft were reconnaissance aircraft and they stayed in the air for a long time.
Reconnaissance aircraft, these aircraft have almost no defense measures. If the machine guns on the ground can focus on them, they can be easily destroyed. These aircraft are very light and their engines are also reduced versions, so the speed of these aircraft is very slow and the flight speed is very slow.
The altitude is not high, but it can stay on the battlefield for several hours. Each such aircraft is equipped with a telegraph machine and a battery. They provide detailed coordinate information for artillery positions.
It was still dark before the Japanese army sent a reconnaissance plane out. It seemed that they were not clear about the situation on the river. Xiao Zai waved his hand and said, "Ignore it and continue the bombardment!"
