Chapter 769: Stopping Japanese Ship Reinforcements (1)
Subsequently, Rear Admiral Watanabe Tomota summoned his subordinates for a combat meeting.
After some deliberation at the meeting, the Devil Navy officers jointly discussed a detailed battle plan.
The eight warships of the devil were divided into two teams, with one team led by Tomota Watanabe slowly advancing along the Yangtze River to provide cover, and the other team traveling up the river to aid Madang Fortress.
The Devil Warship Squadron, which received the order to rush to help, began to sail at full speed towards the river blocked by Nanshan.
Only the navigation lights on the bridge were left on the devil warship that was moving quickly, and the rest of the searchlights were all turned off.
The devil navy soldiers turned off the lights, which was nothing more than to reduce the exposure of the warship so as not to be hit by the artillery units of the security regiment.
"Hurry up, everyone get into the gun emplacement, get ready for battle!!"
Under the orders of the captain and commander, the devil sailors on the warship got busy.
The devil navy soldiers performed their duties and quickly entered their combat positions.
The devil navy machine gunners held the heavy machine guns tightly with both hands, and the devil artillerymen moved their gun barrels one after another, aiming in the direction of the Nanshan position, ready to shell at any time.
As long as the security regiment in the Nanshan position opened fire to attack the warship team by the river, the naval guns of the devils behind would immediately bombard them.
The devil navy soldiers were ready for all battles, and several warships swaggered close to Nanshan......
Li Hong held a night-vision binoculars and observed the Japanese warships approaching with great momentum.
At this time, the warship squadron in front of the Japanese army was less than 15 kilometers away from Nanshan.
The security regiment has several 155-mm cannons with a range of more than 20 km, however, it is night and the sight of observation is poor.
If the artillery of the security regiment carried out long-range artillery shelling from a distance of more than ten kilometers, it would be difficult for the artillery to hit the Japanese warships on the river.
The Nanshan position faces the Yangtze River on one side, and is about seven or eight kilometers away from the Yangtze River, and the position of the rocket artillery company is arranged on the mountainside.
The 105-caliber artillery of rocket artillery can reach a range of ten kilometers, and the fire can completely cover targets on the river.
If you want to deal with the devil's fleet, you must not let the devil's warship get too close, otherwise, it will be attacked and suppressed by the powerful naval guns on the warship.
Of course, if you attack too far away, the hit rate will definitely be greatly reduced.
Although the Japanese warship is nearly 100 meters long and is a behemoth on the river, the devil warship is operating on the river, which makes it more difficult for the artillery to hit the target.
When the little devil's warship got a few kilometers closer and was within the effective range of the rocket artillery, Li Hong put down the binoculars and called the signal soldiers.
"Signal soldier, immediately order the rocket artillery company to attack the devil warship driving over the river!"
"Yes, Tuanza!"
The communications soldier picked up the phone and quickly called the rocket artillery company.
The rocket artillery company is an artillery reinforcement company, equipped with more than a dozen 105 mm rocket launchers, as well as quite a few 75 mm rocket launchers.
Five minutes later, the rocket artillery company aimed at the Japanese warships on the river.
"Rocket artillery attack !!"
"Rocket artillery attack !!"
At the sound of an order, more than a dozen 105-mm rocket launchers attacked at the same time.
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Dense shells whistled out of the rocket launcher at a rapid pace.
A rain of shells streaked across the night sky, and seconds later, the shells exploded over the Yangtze River. Dream Chinese
"Boom, boom, boom......"
A wave of flares bloomed in the air, as brilliant as fireworks, and in an instant, the blazing white light lit up the dark night sky, illuminating the river as bright as day.
Although the flares were dazzling and bright, the bright light lasted for a short time, only twenty or thirty seconds.
Therefore, the artillery of the security regiment must lock on the devil warship on the river in this short period of time. 、
As soon as the flare was lifted into the air, less than ten seconds passed, and then wave after wave of high-explosive anti-personnel shells of rocket artillery flew towards the devil warships on the river.
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
For a time, dozens of 105-mm shells exploded one after another on the surface of the river, and the sound of explosions continued to sound.
Some shells landed on the river and exploded, some devils bombarded the hull outside the devil's warship, and some shells smashed onto the deck of the warship.
The edge of the Devil Warship's hull is made of steel, and the structure is very strong. The outward hull was not directly penetrated by the shells, and the 105-mm shells smashed through it only caused some slight painless damage.
The damage to the deck of the warship was not very serious, the flames of the explosion fragments burned on the deck, and some devilish naval soldiers rushed to the runway deck to extinguish the flames.
"Fire on deck, quickly extinguish !!"
A group of devil naval soldiers, running around on the deck in a panic to fight fires.
As soon as the MLRS attacked, the shells rained down like meteorites.
Dozens of more shells exploded, and soon, the Devil Navy soldiers on the deck were killed and wounded by artillery fire.
"Uhhh......h
The devil navy soldier screamed bitterly.
Dozens of devils were shattered by shells on the spot, and their broken limbs and arms were thrown from the air.
At the same time as the explosion, the devil soldiers not far away were blown into the air by the impact, their bodies were brutally torn into several pieces, and bright red blood splashed all over the deck.
There are also many devil navy soldiers, who were swept into the river by the air wave of the shell shock wave, and the enemy shouted and struggled underwater.
Countless shells rained down on several Japanese warships on the river.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
The warship squadron of the devils was fiercely attacked by artillery fire, and several warships had some shells damaged by shells on their hulls.
The officers and men of the Japanese Navy on the warship were scurrying angrily one by one.
"Bagaya Road, damn the Chinese artillery!!"
"Naval artillery units quickly counterattack and kill the damned Shina artillery troops!!"
The devil's artillery guard roared like madness and ordered the artillerymen to open fire and fight back.
"Tom, tom, tom!!"
"Tom, tom, tom......"
The gunners of the devil's warships hurriedly opened fire, and fierce shelling sounded on the river.
All the guns on several Japanese warships fired a salvo, and dense shells flew out of the warship batteries and flew sharply towards the positions of the rocket artillery batteries on the shore in the distance.
The devil's artillery also fired a number of lights and ejected them, and the flares that burned slowly fell from the air, and the bright light lit up the sky over the Nanshan position.
