***************************************************************************

Seeing the name of this section, it is estimated that everyone understands where to attack this time.

That's right, all in the middle! Jiangyin has been known as the key to the Yangtze River since ancient times. The channel of the Yangtze River here has shrunk sharply, and the narrowest section is only more than 1,000 meters, and it has completely fallen into the coverage of artillery fire.

Although the Qing army was not good at water warfare, they also understood the importance of this place. Therefore, several forts were built along the narrowest point, each with more than a dozen red-coat cannons, dozens of general cannons, and countless other types of firearms.

Just as the relocation near Songjiang ended two days later, the Shenzhou Army went out again, this time with a farther target, which was a bit outrageous if the Qing army thought about it.

Now in the rainy season, the speed of the river is faster, the resistance increases, and the channel here is narrow, so it is impossible for the attacking side to lay down too many ships, so they will be in a very disadvantageous situation.

It's just obvious that the Qing army in the Jiangyin Fort is obviously not as studious as Bolo, and the Qing army here is completely technical fools. They still used the same old-fashioned spherical shells, and they had serious flaws in their shooting techniques.

In addition, although it is the rainy season now, it will have a certain impact on the navigation of the warship, but at the same time, the Qing army's gunpowder counter-tide and the Shenzhou army's sealed in the cartridge, and the raw silk medicine bag was only taken out during the artillery battle are completely two different concepts.

Even so, the attack of the Shenzhou Army was still launched at a new height of surprise attack.

Early in the morning, the river was still tightly covered by rain and fog, and although the vision was affected, it kept stretching as the sky became brighter and brighter. Soon, the Qing troops patrolling the riverside found that there seemed to be something strange in the heart of the river today, and it was not until the sky was getting brighter and brighter that they gradually saw more and more clearly.

They were quite long, and the strange-looking things stopped there motionless, and no one knew what they were, and no one even guessed if it was a boat, no one could have imagined.

On the fort, the generals who led the army were awakened by the news of the Qing soldiers, Jiangyin was at the bottom of the Jiangnan front, and it was under the direct jurisdiction of Nanjing, and it was different from the army led by Bolo further south, so the generals here still ran to the watchtower of the fort with a look of not waking up.

He picked up the "clairvoyant mirror" and asked the monsters in the heart of the river, it has been a long time since he found out about this, and there has been no change at all, and it has not even been washed away in the plum water, do you say it is a strange thing.

"No sails, no slurry is definitely not a ship, so what will the elder be?" At this time, the lights on the fort had begun to go out one after another, and the sky was much brighter than suitable. Visibility is much clearer than before.

"Hey, what is this? I've never seen it! ”

At this moment, a few fires suddenly rose on the fort on the Jiangyin side, and these fires were quite strange, they burned on the stones, and they were quite prosperous and could not be extinguished for a while.

These are the masterpieces of the "seals" who have not appeared in the battle in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is easy to understand that the stones are on fire! The incendiary bomb is just used to indicate the target to the fleet on the river at this moment!

The fort guard held his "clairvoyant mirror" in his hand, ordering the soldiers to put out the fire, while continuing to observe the monsters in the center of the river. At this moment, if he could hear it, he would hear someone among the monsters listening carefully to the data reported by the lookout in the microphone, adjusting his cannon.

"Attention everyone, prepare, salvo!"

As mentioned earlier, the number of shells that a single salvo of the cruiser could deliver, this time at the same time increasing the number of shells fired by those 60-mm raindrops.

This is really a terrifying force, because of the shelling positioning prescribed by several piles of timed incendiary bombs, the entire Jiangnan battery was turned upside down almost in the blink of an eye. Not only did the people outside the fortress die. Even the people hiding inside the artillery barricade were killed in droves.

Is it written wrong, the people who hide inside will also be blown up, you have to know how large caliber of artillery is needed to kill people in anti-artillery holes in World War II.

Of course, it is not a mistake, the anti-artillery hole at this time is only used to dodge solid lead bullets and bird gun bullets. An earthen wall can fulfill the requirements for protection. But now they are faced with thousands of shells of non-stop covered fire, and this intensity of artillery fire is really a relatively luxurious thing in the face of primitive anti-artillery holes.

What caused trouble for the Jiangxin fleet of the Shenzhou Army was the battery on the north bank of the river.

When a salvo was fired, the artillery fire of the fleet in the middle of the river stopped, and even the 60-mm guns were immediately retracted below the top deck. Inside the gun bay, the 150 mm guns were retreating into the gun bay and turning.

When we introduced this modern catamaran called "Ghost" earlier, we said that when viewed from one side, it is a trapezoidal section, so this gives the warships of the Shenzhou Army a chance, the main gun is the lowest level, and it can be used on both sides.

Only all 60 1648 Steelrain-H100 mm rocket launchers used 1,800 rounds of shells to cover the positions of the enemy batteries. Moreover, because there is no guidance from the special forces, the method of scattering can only be carried out towards the estimated position in the intelligence, and the effect will inevitably be relatively poor.

Sure enough, due to the bombardment of the Jiangnan Fort, the Jiangbei Fort, which had received the news in advance, was not to be outdone. Also, for their clairvoyant mirror, the distance is a little farther, if he could see the tragic situation on the Jiangnan side, he would definitely not do such a stupid thing.

As the large and small cannons on the opponent's turret were fired together, all kinds of shells flew towards the warships of the Shenzhou Army. You don't have to worry, these spherical shells are completely unable to deal with the armor of the Huofeng-class cruisers, hitting them will cause at most several layers of steel wires inside to be pulled and broken, and the rest of the shells such as shotguns and so on are not worth mentioning.

And this time, the flash of the muzzle and the smoke of gunpowder provided the basis for the firing of the 150-mm naval gun, and when the salvo was fired again, the intensity of fire was no longer the intensity of fire that a small battery was qualified to withstand. Thousands of shells fired in one salvo almost flattened the entire battery, and at least in the later battles, the battery of the Jiangyin fortress never looked for trouble again.

In fact, the damage to the fort is not a particularly important thing, if compared with the problems encountered by the defenders of Jiangyin City, it is really nothing.

Because Jiangyin City is too close to the water's edge, and those walls are obviously too thin to resist the enemy warships coming from the river. In addition, the defender of Jiangyin City was just a general of the Ming army, and he was thinking about the question of whether it was worth leaving this braid in the face of such an enemy.

Yes, for anyone at this time, "life or death" will be a constant problem.
