    After successfully seizing the Japanese warship, Zhang Shaolin, covered in blood, immediately sent a signal to the shore in a predetermined way!

    After Chen Jiliang and others on the shore saw the signal, they immediately boarded the boat without hesitation and drove the small fishing boat to the center of the river.

    At the same time, under Li Guoyao's order, Zhang Tengjiao's troops, who had already been prepared, immediately launched an attack on the Japanese marines on the shore!

    "Boom boom boom"

    Since there is no threat from Japanese warships, Li Guoyao's artillery can finally fire to their heart's content!

    Under the fierce bombardment of dozens of cannons, the Japs' position was instantly shrouded in violent explosions. Many Japs soldiers were killed and injured in their sleep.

    "However, the Marine Corps is one of the most elite units in the Japanese army. Even if it was attacked in a hurry and suffered considerable losses, it quickly calmed down from the panic.

    The Japanese commander, Lieutenant Colonel Miura Kenzo, ordered his troops to fight back, and at the same time, he sent a message to a warship not far away, requesting artillery reinforcements.

    However, at this time, Chen Jiliang and others had all boarded the Japanese warship. After checking that everything was correct, Chen Jiliang immediately ordered the troops to shell the Japanese positions on the shore.

    When the large-caliber naval gun pointed its muzzle at the shore, the Japanese soldiers on the position howled with excitement, but the next scene left them completely dumbfounded.

    I saw artillery shells falling from the sky, not hitting the Chinese army's positions, but falling on their heads.

    The huge power of the naval gun instantly stunned the unsuspecting little Japanese. In addition, one of the shells landed in the temporary headquarters of the Marine Corps, including Miura, the captain of the "Sanglong" dispatch team.  All officers including Lieutenant Colonel Jian San, Commander of the 4th Special Marine Corps at Wu Gang, Lieutenant Colonel Xu Mu Zhenyi, Commander of the 5th Special Marine Corps at Wu Gang, Major Kitaro Kitaro, and the landing commander, Captain Okamoto Weihei, instantly turned into flying objects.  Ash, no one is spared.

    When all the commanders were killed, the Japanese command system was instantly paralyzed. At this time, the main force of the 61st Army also rushed into the Japanese position, and what followed was a one-sided massacre.

    But even so, it was already 3:30 in the morning when the battle on the Yongan front line ended.

    Then Li Guoyao took an assault boat to the middle of the river and boarded a Japanese warship!

    In the battle command room of the Anzhai, Li Guoyao looked at Zhang Shaolin and others with excitement, while the latter was holding a sword with a red sword thread in his hand.

    "Whose is it?"

    "It belongs to Major General Eijiro Kondo, commander of the 11th team!" Zhang Shaolin said.

    "Yes, I will send this sword to the Wuhan Military Commission in your name later and submit it to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek!"

    Li Guoyao then continued: "Have the statistics of troop casualties been calculated?"

    "Out!"

    "How many were killed?"

    "42 people!" Zhang Shaolin said in a deep voice.

    Li Guoyao's heart suddenly twitched, 42 people, these are not ordinary soldiers, but special forces members that he carefully trained. The entire 61st Army only had 300 people, and they lost more than 40 people in one fell swoop.

    "Military seat, in fact, the attrition in the battle is not very serious. Half of them drowned at the bottom of the river! Although we have received training in swimming, the wind and waves on the water tonight were too strong. Many brothers were halfway through the swim.  I couldn't hold on and drowned." Zhang Shaolin said.

    Li Guoyao nodded and said: "They died a worthy death. With only 300 people, they captured half of the main battleships of the 11th Team of the Japanese Third Fleet. You have created history and created a miracle!"

    Zhang Shaolin nodded and said: "Yes!"

    Li Guoyao looked at Chen Jiliang, who was also excited, and asked: "Brother Ji Liang, how are the performance of these warships?"

    Chen Jiliang immediately said excitedly: "Hahaha, they are all treasures. Although there are more old-fashioned ships, they are at least much stronger than the warships in our fleet! For example, the Anzhai gunboat is the flagship of the 11th team of the Little Devils.  , is a Japanese navigation gunboat designed specifically for missions in China¡¯s Yangtze River and coastal waters. It is a very good warship for inland rivers.¡±

    "Can these warships be able to deal with the remaining warships of the 11th Little Devil Team?" Li Guoyao asked again.

    "Yes, this is not an open sea. The Japanese Navy does have many large-tonnage heavy cruisers and battleships, but no warships in the inland river are as practical as these gunboats. As for the remaining warships of the 11th Team, they are all auxiliary ships and are simply vulnerable.  ." Chen Jiliang said.

    ? ???That's good. I wonder if Brother Ji Liang is interested in taking a walk around Jiujiang City with me?  "

    "Brother Su Yan is preparing to counterattack Jiujiang?" Chen Jiliang asked in surprise.

    "Yes, seizing the Japanese warships is only the first step. The most important thing is to recapture Jiujiang, otherwise the city of Wuhan will be difficult to defend!" Li Guoyao said.

    "Brother Solemn is right. Since you have such ambitions, how can I hold you back?"

    After saying that, Chen Jiliang immediately said to several naval officers around him: "My sons, come to the shore and welcome the army brothers to board the ship!" Looking at Chen Jiliang's decisive order, Li Guoyao nodded with satisfaction.

    He knew something about the navy veteran in front of him. Like other heroes of the navy, Chen Jiliang was also a bloody officer. He was born in Fujian, graduated from the Jiangnan Naval Academy, and served as the first mate of the sea ship.

    When the Anti-Japanese War broke out, Chen Jiliang had been promoted to Deputy Chief of the Navy and Commander of the First Fleet. Even in a high position, Chen Jiliang often fought on the front line. Among them, he commanded the famous Jiangyin Naval Battle from the front line.

    On September 22, 1937, after a month of exploratory attacks, the Japanese Navy's Combined Air Force dispatched more than 30 attack aircraft and fighter jets, carrying heavy bombs, to invade Jiangyin and launch the largest attack since the beginning of the war on the Jiangyin blockade of the Yangtze River.  Heavy aerial bombardment.

    ??The Chinese Navy, which had no air power cover at that time, would face an unprecedented bloody battle between sea and air. The Pinghai ship Chen Jiliang was riding at that time was the flagship of the Chinese Navy.  Therefore, after the battle began, the enemy planes first attacked the Pinghai ships in batches in order to capture the tiger.

    Chen Jiliang commanded the officers and soldiers of the Pinghai ship to fight back fiercely with anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns despite the rain of bullets, shooting down five enemy planes.  However, the Pinghai ship was also damaged. Five officers and soldiers on board died and more than 20 people were injured.  The captain of Pinghai, Gao Kuanshen, was shot in the waist and was injured, and lost his combat effectiveness.

    Seeing that the first attack failed to achieve its goal, the Japanese invaders immediately changed their tactics, deployed more troops, and used more than 80 aircraft sorties in four batches to attack Pinghai and Ninghai, the two strongest ships of the Chinese Navy at the time.  The Chinese naval officers and soldiers resisted desperately, preventing the enemy from approaching.

    Soon, the Pinghai and Ninghai ships were blown up by enemy planes one after another.  Chen Jiliang moved to the Yixian ship and hung up the commander's flag to continue commanding the battle.

    Subsequently, sixteen Japanese fighter planes attacked the Yixian ship.  Chen Jiliang led his officers and men to fight back fiercely, shooting down two enemy planes, and the Yixian ship was also hit. Fourteen officers and men on the ship died and six were seriously injured.

    The officers and soldiers advised Chen Jiliang to withdraw quickly, but Chen Jiliang shouted: "No! We have more than a dozen shells left, and we will fight the enemy to the end!"

    During the fierce battle, the Yixian ship was hit again. The hull tilted to the left, and the bow and stern guns were blown up. Chen Jiliang was hit in the waist by shrapnel, bleeding profusely, and fell to the deck.  He endured the severe pain and decisively ordered Yixian Ship to grab the stall.

    Seeing that the Yixian ship was unable to fight back, the enemy aircraft flew at very low altitude and continued to bombard the Yixian ship.

    Chen Jiliang stood up tenaciously and shouted: "The best destination for members of the Chinese revolutionary army is to die fighting the enemy at the last moment!"

    He drew his pistol and fought against the enemy planes. His spirit infected all the officers and soldiers on the ship, including those who were seriously injured but still breathing. They stood up tenaciously from the pool of blood and fought bloody battles with the enemy with pistols and rifles until  All bullets are gone.

    After being injured, Chen Jiliang still stayed in the firing line and continued to move to the Ding'an ship. He raised the command flag again and commanded the battle against the enemy.

    Someone advised him: "It is very dangerous to hang the command flag and expose the target."

    But Chen Jiliang had already put his personal life and death aside. He said: "Where the commander's flag is, the Chinese fleet is there. It is contempt for the enemy and an encouragement to one's own people."

    According to statistics, during the entire Jiangyin naval battle, only two warships, Pinghai and Ninghai, fired more than 1,300 anti-aircraft artillery shells and more than 10,000 anti-aircraft machine gun shells in two days, shooting down more than 20 enemy planes in total.

    Precisely because he knew that Chen Jiliang was a man who dared to fight and fight hard, Li Guoyao personally called Chen Shaokuan, hoping that Chen Jiliang would lead the team.

    And Chen Jiliang did not disappoint Li Guoyao. He simply ordered the fleet to dock and cooperated with the 61st Army to counterattack Jiujiang!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
