Rise From Eight Hundred

Nearly 400 Japanese soldiers bravely jumped into the cold river, proving to the arrogant navy fools that they were actually amphibious millipedes.

Watching the infantrymen rushing onto the sandbar under the gunfire and stepping on the water, Lieutenant Colonel Akita nodded with satisfaction.

Although the army millipedes were very scum, their battlefield execution was still impeccable.

However, the next moment, the water splashes that exploded around the gunboats blew Lieutenant Colonel Akita's heart directly to his heels.

"Avoid!" The roar of the navy lieutenant colonel was like a chicken with its neck cut.

Because the rumbling explosions that continued to explode around the gunboats had already drowned out his terrified roar.

The three gunboats were like frightened fish, trying their best to swing their huge bodies to leave the shallows.

What frightened the most handsome Japanese in the Battle of Songhu was not how terrible the mortars that rained down like raindrops were, but that the Chinese who had been entangled with them for more than ten minutes had only used a small number of rapid-fire guns. After they put down their infantry and landed, they suddenly used an unknown number of large-caliber mortars. What was the idea?

This was a trap. Anyway, from Lieutenant Colonel Akita Chi to the Japanese Navy Majors on the other two gunboats, they instantly came up with such a horrifying judgment.

In particular, when the muffled sound of "bang bang bang" appeared continuously, the gunboat armor was hit and sparks flew, and many weak steel plates were directly penetrated by large-caliber bullets. They were more certain of this conjecture.

The dead Chinese, in addition to hiding large-caliber mortars, actually hid high-altitude dual-purpose machine guns.

The shells fell on the water like raindrops, and the splashing water reminded the Japanese who were once the most handsome guys that if they didn't run away, it would be a disaster when those iron lumps hit the gunboats.

This was a trap set by the Chinese.

The most handsome guys suddenly realized and twisted their fat bodies to try to escape, but it was obviously too late.

After holding back for a long time, the Chinese artillerymen who had been aiming at the coordinates of the shallows beside Jiangxinzhou for an unknown period of time might miss the target in the first, second and third test shots, but it didn't mean that they would always miss the target.

Moreover, in order to maintain stability, the three Japanese gunboats reduced the engine power to the minimum. At this moment, it was not easy to suddenly increase it to the maximum and turn around.

It was often just a moment that decided life and death on the battlefield.

Ten seconds later, flames rose one after another on the deck of one of the gunboats, and three consecutive mortar shells hit the deck. The mortar shells falling from the sky might not be as penetrating as cannons, but the power of the explosion was not weak at all.

At least five or six Japanese navy soldiers who were hiding in the machine gun fortifications on the side of the ship and trying to shoot outward were directly blown into the river by the air waves caused by the explosion, and the machine gun fire that was still spewing flames towards the hilly area was embarrassed.

Soldiers are the least martial on the battlefield. What they like to do most is to take advantage of his weakness and beat him when he is down.

Four of the six machine guns were targeting the gunboat that was accurately hit by the mortar.

The thumb-thick shells swept across the superstructure of the gunboat so fiercely.

If we can't penetrate the deck and the side of the ship, can we not penetrate the cabin?

The machine gun shells that can penetrate 20mm steel plates within a distance of 500 meters are wreaking havoc in the gunboat cabin.

The most handsome Japanese boy hiding in it burst into a miserable howl.

This also included the unlucky Lieutenant Colonel Akita Chi. Four machine gun shells hit the command room at the bow of the gunboat. One shell did not hit the Japanese Navy Lieutenant Colonel directly, but unfortunately hit various instruments in front of him. The various fragments that exploded directly turned the Japanese Navy Lieutenant Colonel into a little hedgehog.

The kind of hedgehog with fragments of various materials stuck all over his body.

Lieutenant Colonel Akita, covering his face with both hands, rolled in pain in the cabin, but no one could save his life.

Because the fate of several other Japanese naval officers in the command room was much more miserable than his, three shells almost pierced them in one fell swoop.

Fresh flesh and blood painted the entire command room into a hell on earth.

When the medical soldier crawled in with nausea, their Lieutenant Colonel Commander was only breathing out more than breathing in.

The Japanese gunboat formation, after firing at four rapid-fire guns for a long time, only had a few more holes on the hull, but 30 seconds after ten mortars and six machine guns began to concentrate their fire, they lost their highest commander.

The gunboat that lost control began to move irregularly on the river bank, and its speed suddenly decreased. The other two gunboats also found the abnormality. While desperately firing back with 80mm naval guns, they bravely approached and tried to use the ship body to help resist the continued attack of the opponent's artillery on their companions.

This kind of tactics is naturally no problem in naval battles. Even the opponents praised their courage and spirit of sacrifice for their actions of rescuing their comrades.

However, they faced not only flat-fire artillery, but more land-based mortars.

The closer the Japanese ship approached, the higher the probability of hitting.

The reason why the 150-caliber mortar is called a heavy mortar is that although its maximum range is only 3,000 meters, its special shrapnel weighs 22 kilograms. The terrible kinetic energy from high altitude plus the weight of the gunpowder loaded inside, its power can be imagined.

During the Central Plains War, the Northeast Army's artillery was so powerful that it shocked the whole country, making a certain big boss envious. He ordered the Gongxian Arsenal to imitate this large-caliber mortar. Even after the September 18th Incident, the Japanese army seized this artillery in Fengtian City and regarded it as a treasure and incorporated it into the active service of the Kwantung Army. In the Nomonhan Battle, it was used to fight the fighting nation.

With great power, the artillery is naturally heavy. It is not the dozens of kilograms of the 81-caliber mortar.

The 150 mortar gun body and gun carriage weighed more than 200 kilograms. In order to transport these ten heavy mortars, the cavalry used a full 40 war horses. Each gun prepared a full 30 shells, and 300 shells used nearly 20 war horses. In addition, they had to carry 80 artillerymen. This mortar battalion alone used the spare war horses of two cavalry companies.

According to the two lieutenant generals, it was really a waste of effort.

But Lieutenant Colonel Tang Dao said that since it is a "big stick" plan, it must look like a big stick. If you don't want to make it easy, just call it the "Little Didi" plan.

Although I don't understand what Tang Dao means by "Little Didi", even Tan Tai Mingyue can hear that this guy is driving. Two big eyes were thrown over, but they were much brighter than the headlights.

Can this also achieve eye contact? The two experienced people expressed confusion about the world of young people.

. . . . . . . . . . .

Along with the bravery of the other two gunboats, more than ten shells hit the gunboats within a dozen seconds, blowing up thick smoke on the gunboats. One of them was even hit in the engine compartment. Although the huge explosion did not tear the steel plate and destroy the engine, it caused damage to it. The power dropped sharply in an instant, and like their command ship, it spun dozens of meters away from the river bank.

If at this time, another gunboat turned around and fled to the middle of the river, with the distance getting farther and the gunboat's flexibility, there is at least an 80% chance of escaping.

But as the most beautiful boy in the Battle of Songhu, except for two ships damaged by the bombing of the Chinese Air Force, the Japanese Navy has never encountered a real battle on the water, and its losses are minimal. Even the artillery battle on the Yangtze River in Jiangyin in September became a one-sided situation because of the participation of Japanese naval fighters.

Escape? Abandon friendly forces and flee? I'm afraid it has never occurred to the proud Japanese Navy. Even now, the opponent's shells are falling like raindrops, and the counterattack of the three 80mm naval guns is completely ineffective. The 6.5mm heavy machine gun is not in the same order of magnitude as the opponent's 20mm machine gun.

Therefore, under the roar of the Japanese commander, the three gunboats barely lined up in a straight line, and fought back with the 80mm naval guns turned around from the turrets. Some silent heavy machine gun fire points roared again, showing the unyielding kingly temperament of the most handsome guy on the Huangpu River in China.

Unfortunately, they were firing at four rapid-fire guns that could break through 50mm steel plates, machine guns that could break through 20mm steel plates, and large-caliber mortars that did not seek to break through defenses but to kill people.

Once they stopped, they were simply a living target.

The Japanese were full of courage, but the Chinese, who had been forced into a desperate situation, had been thinking about making a profit from the beginning, so they naturally fired back without hesitation.

Even if a rapid-fire gun was unfortunately overturned by the air wave of the shells that exploded six or seven meters away, at least three of the seven or eight artillerymen died on the spot, and all the artillery did not stop firing and move positions.

The Northeast Army, which was extremely eager to clear its name, showed unparalleled tenacity at this moment of courage competition.

In the morning fog that was gradually fading, fireworks continued to rise from the three gunboats, and the Japanese soldiers' screams could be clearly heard by the cavalry hundreds of meters away.

The gunboat that could have run away but didn't was given special attention. Six machine guns shot holes in its protruding cabins, and it was unknown how many of the most handsome guys inside were beaten into the worst meat.

Tang Dao had reason to believe that the Japanese officer who ordered the gunboat to stay would be scolded by his subordinates who were already few and far between.

No one knew the sadness of the Japanese navy that was killed and wounded by mortars and machine guns, but the Chinese soldiers on the shore dared to guarantee that there were many people who were more sad than the Japanese navy that was being beaten by the big stick.

Amphibious millipedes, dazed on the sandbar.
