Chapter two hundred and thirty: the end of the navy
——Modern unknown island in the East China Sea
Jiang Cheng looked at the construction workers on the island and asked curiously, "Will our construction here really not cause anything? I know that American and Japanese planes fly over here from time to time."
Chen Guomin laughed and said, "There is no way. We have never really controlled our own airspace. We still need to work hard. It's okay. This is not the South China Sea. Our control here is still excellent, but we are only responsible for shipping here.
If your ship is tracked by the United States, we will not be responsible."
Jiang Cheng squinted his eyes and thought to himself, "I'm afraid not only the United States will follow me, but also the country will not feel at ease. Gallagher, what can you do?"
Gallagher yawned and said with a smile, "With your little technology, give me a computer and I can control all your satellites in an hour. Don't worry, they won't be able to see anything."
Jiang Cheng then said with peace of mind, "It's easy to say. You said the goods have been delivered. Take me to have a look."
In the warehouse on the island, powerful cannons were lined up in a row, and countless boxes of shells were piled together. Jiang Cheng got closer and saw that the cannons were indeed written in Russian. He nodded and said, "I also want to prevent our country from getting into trouble."
What's the trouble? I'm a patriotic person. The money has been transferred to your account, have you received it?"
Chen Guomin nodded, took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket and said, "Here, get your invoices."
...
This was the first time Jiang Cheng received such an invoice, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. When he opened it, he saw that it was an ordinary VAT invoice with "Scrap Steel" written on it.
Okay. I knew that was the case. Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes and said, "I will let Ying Tianlin transport it away as soon as possible. I hope we can have a happy cooperation."
Jiang Cheng returned home and immediately called Ying Tianlin, only to hear a burst of gunfire over there.
"I'll go, my good boss Jiang. I'm fighting here in Syria. If you have anything to do, please contact Kou Kou. Toilet paper, kill that sniper. Damn you Americans. How dare you let me go here for so long? Why?
Steal my business, I will give you a life to make money, but not a life to spend!! Dududu..."
Jiang Cheng stared at the phone dumbfounded. This Ying Tianlin was really energetic. Jiang Cheng shook his head and called Kou Kou. There was soothing music there.
"Brother Cheng, do you miss me?" Kou Kou said teasingly.
"Sister Kou Kou, don't be ridiculous, Chen Guomin's weapons have been transported to Donghai Island. Please help me transport them to Black Iron Island. Be careful along the way and don't reveal the location of our base." Jiang Cheng said.
He said while developing the software according to Gallagher's instructions.
"Okay, no problem. By the way, your planes and tanks have been rolled off the production line one after another. They will all be rolled off the production line in about a month or two. This is also thanks to our newly established International Arms Company and the people behind us.
After getting the news, they increased their support for us, so we can speed up." Kou Kou said with a smile, "But I can't guarantee that these toys can block any decent firepower, they can probably block bullets."
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "That's enough, that's enough. Okay, thank you very much. I will go to Europe to see you when I have the chance."
"We agreed, we didn't have a good time last time. We can have a good time next time, but don't be shy this time." Kou Kou said, remembering Jiang Cheng's appearance when he saw the striptease, and couldn't help but
I want to laugh a little...
——Yan'an of the Republic of China Ten Days Later
Chairman Mao and Zhou Guansheng were touching the barrel of the 122 howitzer like children. Huang Biao drooled and said, "Master, how many people will be killed in one shot of this thing?"
Jiang Cheng gave a thumbs up and said, "The killing distance of a 122mm high-explosive bomb is about 30 meters in radius. If it is an armor-piercing bomb, it will be no problem to hit a fortress with one shot."
Huang Biao stuck out his tongue and said, "At 30 meters, this class will be gone. After the 12th gate, there will be a company."
Chairman Mao nodded and said, "Okay, with this sharp weapon, our plan will be more likely to succeed. I will immediately send people to send these cannons to Mr. Zhu."
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "There is also good news. Our new planes will be arriving soon. In addition, our tanks have also been rolled off the production line one after another. I think we should be able to make it in time."
Zhou Guansheng smiled and shook his head and said, "In that case, we will have our own tank force. Chairman, the Japanese army wants us to use weapons to bully them."
Chairman Mao immediately feigned anger and said, "What kind of bullying? We all have millet and rifle weapons. What heavy weapons? Isn't that just nonsense?"
Zhou Guansheng laughed loudly and said, "Yes, yes, this confidentiality work must be done well to ensure that the Japanese are confused."
Just when Jiang Cheng was transporting weapons to Yan'an, the battle in Tianjia Town finally began. The most important battle of this Wuhan battle was the navy firing the first shot.
If any weapon is the trump card of the Chinese Navy, then it is torpedoes and mines. Although torpedoes are powerful, because the Chinese Navy does not have many battleships, it is difficult for those torpedo boats to get close to Japanese warships, so they mainly rely on mines to kill the enemy.
The battle between the Chinese and Japanese navies was more like a mine-laying and mine-clearing competition.
"Boom!" Another warship in the advancing Yangtze River Fleet ignited a raging fire. This was already the third warship damaged by a mine. The commander of the Yangtze River Fleet, Hasegawa, felt his heart skip a beat when he heard this and hurriedly walked out of the headquarters.
Looking towards the river, the entire 400-ton gunboat was blown to pieces. Fortunately, there were no enemies around so the sailors on the ship could move safely.
"Damn it, if this continues, half of the warships will be in the water before we reach Wuhan." Hasegawa muttered, patting the railing.
"Commander, there must be Chinese warships laying mines in front of so many mines. The Chinese air force has been beaten by us and dare not take off. I think we can send out the aviation force to sink their minelayers," said a staff officer.
.
Hasegawa nodded in agreement and said, "That's right. Immediately send out aviation troops to patrol all the way from Tianjia Town to our place. In addition, send more wooden boats to the front to explore the road. We would rather go slower than suffer any more losses.
The battleship was destroyed not by gunfire but by mines, which is simply a shame for the navy!"
In the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, three or four mine-laying boats are working intensively. Next to these normal mine-laying boats, there are seven or eight wooden sailing boats, which were temporarily recruited to make up for the shortage of warships. The sailors looked at each other while laying down mines.
Looking at the sky nervously.
"Okay, we can go back with four or five more." A dark-skinned sailor said with a smile. What they were deploying were floating mines in the mines. This kind of mines would go down the river and hit the enemies they encountered.
everything and blow them up.
Huh~~ A burst of engine sound made everyone raise their heads. Only seven or eight Japanese aircraft suddenly appeared from the clouds.
"Damn it, quick, quick mine, anti-aircraft machine gun fire cover!" The dark-skinned soldier shouted quickly. He quickly set up the mine device with several other sailors.
"Click, click, click!" The anti-aircraft machine gun fired like crazy at the planes in the sky. Other sailors also took out their rifles and fired at the sky. Although they knew it was of little use, it was better than doing nothing.
I saw only the Japanese plane spinning down and the bullets from the anti-aircraft machine gun passing by the plane, and a bomb whizzing towards a wooden boat.
"Boom" A wooden ship that only exists to transport goods is no match for modern high-explosive bombs. With just one shot, the wooden ship was broken from the middle. The flames and the river water complemented each other. The black smoke ignited was like the ghost of an innocent person.
Anger shot straight into the sky.
"Ah!! Damn Japs, I'm going to kill you!!" The bullet casings of the anti-aircraft machine gun fell to the ground like running water. Finally, the fire whip hit an airplane and knocked off its wing.
Suddenly, the plane lost control and fell into the river.
"Da da da" Japanese planes also began to shoot at the battleship, and flowers of blood bloomed on the ship.
"Well..." The dark-skinned soldier looked down at his belly. There was a fist-sized hole filled with blood and broken internal organs.
"Damn Japs." The soldier looked at his fallen comrades around him and used his last bit of strength to push the prepared mine into the water.
"We must... we must blow up the Japanese warships. Commander, I tried my best. I didn't embarrass our navy." The dark-skinned soldier slowly closed his eyes. The last thing he felt was the heat all over his body.
Those were incendiary bombs thrown by the Japanese army. Seeing that there was no movement of anyone on the battleships, the plane slowly left. Then, three more waves of Japanese planes came and completely blew these battleships to the bottom of the water before they were relieved.
"Within ten days, our army's Jiang Zhen, Minsheng, Haining, Suining, Huying, Chu Tong, Chu Qian, and Yongsheng were all bombed and sunk. In addition, five warships including the Zhongshan were also bombed.
was injured and is now stranded in Tianjia Town. Captain Sa Shijun was seriously injured. Now the headquarters is commanding the wounded and is preparing to use naval guns to attack the Japanese army. Our army shot down a total of 17 Japanese aircraft and wounded 24 more. "Information.
The officer slowly closed the telegram and looked at the National Army Navy Commander Chen Shaokuan, who was already in tears.
"It's over, it's all over." Chen Shaokuan was very fond of these warships. These were one of the few warships in the Chinese Navy. The only remaining intact warships were a few torpedo boats and a few gunboats, which were of no use at all.
"We... how many mines have we laid?" Chen Shaokuan asked breathlessly, as if looking for comfort.
"Our army has successfully laid more than 2,100 mines in total. It is now confirmed that three Japanese warships were sunk and two were damaged," the intelligence officer said.
Chen Shaokuan nodded, took off his hat and said, "Send a message to the committee. Our navy has no ships to continue laying mines. We can only rely on the Tianjia Town Fortress to block the enemy. Our navy will fight to the last soldier or ship to live up to our Chinese people."

——Wuxue
"Long live! Long live! Long live!" The Japanese troops on the shore couldn't help shouting loudly when they saw the majestic Japanese warships. When Okamura Neji saw that the fleet he had been thinking about day and night finally arrived, he softly exhaled and said, "Order
, the troops were divided into two groups, first to attack Fuchikou, and let the naval fleet provide fire cover. Third, the Ninth Division attacked along the south bank of the Yangtze River from the northeast and two directions, and there were also aviation units to provide air cover. There must be no mistakes. "
Koike Akira looked worriedly at Nakajima Hikari, who was still a little weak, and said, "Nakajima-kun, why don't we ask for a leave from the squad leader, and you don't want to participate in this battle."
Nakajima Hikaru shook his head and said, "No, Koike-kun, this is our most critical battle, haven't you heard? If Tianjia Town is captured, Wuhan will be defeated without a single attack, and the war will be over. If I don't participate
, I will regret it for the rest of my life.”
Koike Akira reluctantly took his rifle and said, "Then let me carry it for you. I heard that the Chinese built the fortress very solidly, and I don't know how many warriors will die."
"It's time to eat, it's time to eat. After eating, it's time to go to the battlefield. Let's eat more." While cheering the soldiers, the team leader asked about the soldiers' conditions from time to time. Xiaochi came to the meal place and saw Bai Bai.
Rice, vegetables, fish and eggs, and a canned fruit. I couldn't help but smile and said, "Look, our food will be much better once the waterway is opened."
Nakajima Hikari smiled bitterly and said, "It's a pity that I have no appetite. It seems that I am not a lucky person."
After eating, Koike Akira and Nakajima Hikaru followed the troops to the front line. Before they arrived, they heard bursts of explosions, and from time to time they could see planes flying forward.
"It's such a violent explosion, the Chinese people probably can't stand it." Hearing the words of the newly added recruits, Koike snorted and scolded, "Recruit, don't underestimate our enemies, otherwise you will die quickly.
"
The recruit puffed out his chest and said, "I have a name. My name is Kodo Kenichi."
Nakajima Hikari smiled weakly and said, "Okay, Kenichi, be careful of the grenades of the Chitose, they seem to have inexhaustible grenades."
Entering the offensive position, Koike Akira looked at the fortress not far away. It was a hilltop with countless fortresses and forts.
"The bombardment has started, it's our naval gun, look." Kenichi Kodo shouted. Koike also stood up and looked, only to see dozens of warships lined up in a row, with the muzzles raised high.
Facing the fortress, suddenly, the muzzles of the cannons burst out orange-red fireballs, and nearly a hundred cannonballs hit the fortress. The entire earth shook due to the shock wave of the explosion.
"It's amazing." Kodo Kenichi exclaimed in surprise.
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom" Suddenly countless giant dragons seemed to appear on the river. The huge water splash wet the Japanese warships. This was the fortress's counterattack.
"Sit down, you won't be able to stop for an hour or two." Koike Akira sat down and said. Kodou Kenichi saw that everyone was like this, so he slowly sat down.
The artillery battle lasted for more than an hour, and two Japanese warships were sunk. Koike Akira heard the sound of artillery gradually becoming sparse. He stood up and moved around and said, "Get ready, Mr. Nakajima, come behind me.
Kenichi, be careful when you come next to me."
"Charge!!" Sure enough, with an order, the team leader shouted with a pistol and ordered the soldiers to start charging. Koike bent forward and moved forward quickly. The entire fortress was silent, without any reaction, like a cemetery.
"Were all the Chinese people killed in the bombing? How come there was no reaction at all?" Kodo Kenichi said as he ran.
"Remember from now on, if the Chinese army starts shooting from a long way away, don't be afraid. If it's so quiet, you have to be careful." Nakajima Hikaru said in a haphazard voice. Before he could finish his words, he only heard "Yo~
~" sound, Nakajima Hikaru immediately shouted "Be careful of shelling". After saying that, he immediately grabbed Kodo Kenichi and lay down.
Before Kenichi Kodou could react, he felt a huge force rushing toward him, followed by a huge explosion. Kenichi Kodō lay tightly on the ground, daring not to move.
"Click, click, click." Then, countless bullets were fired, and the miserable screams resounded in the ears of Xiaotang Kenichi.
"Quick, grenades, machine gun cover." The squad leader shouted loudly. Kenichi Kodo slowly raised his head and saw that the fortress on the mountain seemed to have transformed into a huge monster, waving countless guns.
The whip was whipped everywhere, and anyone who received one blow would be torn to pieces by the fire whip immediately.
At this time, Kodo Kenichi discovered that this place was not a hunting ground for the imperial army, but a flesh and blood mill that devoured human flesh.
