If it hadn't been for the Emperor's wish to increase his power, Chief of Staff Shiro Takasu would have led his warships down the south bank of the Yangtze River at this time, away from this dangerous area.

But it can't and doesn't dare!

Daiki Nagayama, the commander of the third aviation team, did not dare, nor did Taiji Endo, the commander of the second aviation team;

Staff officer Takasu Shiro who commanded this naval operation did not dare!

Therefore, these senior commanders knew that there was a dead end ahead, but they still took chances and hoped that they could create miracles.

Although these Japs were reluctant in their hearts, they did not hesitate in their actions.

The battleship rushed towards the south bank of the Yangjiazhai River section at full speed, even though the battleship used its fastest speed.

It still took an hour and a half to be able to vaguely see the mountains surrounding Yang's residence.

Chief of Staff Takasu Shiro is familiar with this place, Commander Endo Taiji has been here, and Commander Nagayama Daiki has also been here!

They have all fought here and been arrogant.

Originally it was only about 20 days ago, but now it feels like a lifetime ago.

Their mood at that time was quite heroic and complacent, thinking that from now on they would be able to set foot in this colorful world.

When they thought that the city of Shanghai would soon become the territory of the empire, each of these Japs howled with excitement.

The scene of that day is still vivid in my mind.

It has only been more than twenty days, and the situation has suddenly deteriorated to this point.

They were the ones who sent the 11th Infantry Division and the 3rd Infantry Division to the south bank more than 20 days ago.

At that time, the Japanese troops had high morale, fought bravely, and were fully organized.

There were hundreds of planes in the sky, hundreds of cannons on the river, and tens of thousands of Japanese on the shore. The sight and momentum made Chief of Staff Shiro Takasu's blood boil with excitement.

Everything is over!

Hundreds of planes have crashed into dust!

The black planes flying in the sky at that time have become nothing but memories now!

There are hundreds of cannons, and only these small-caliber cannons are left around.

When the 240 mm caliber cannon on the "Izumo" was fired.

The sound of the cannon is like thunder rolling from the sky!

If it had sunk too!

Never again!

Today, the main guns with the largest caliber among the Second Aviation Squadron and the Third Aviation Squadron are only 150 mm.

Not even close!

Too far!

As for the tens of thousands of Japanese who came ashore, not a single one could be seen on the riverside.

I believe that most of those devils have turned into flesh and blood and been mixed into the soil of Jiangnan.

Come and see if the peach blossoms will bloom more beautifully!

Thinking of peach blossoms, Chief of Staff Shiro Takasu thought of the cherry blossoms in Kyoto!

This year, the beauty under the cherry blossom tree remains the same, but the lover turned into dust in Jiangnan!

Is it all worth it?

For those ordinary devils, it is definitely not worth it.

They work hard and work hard for everything they do, and they can still keep food and clothing in their hometown!

On the other hand, people like myself would have no chance without a war!

Only with war can you have the opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune!

You must seize the opportunity this time!

After calming down, Chief of Staff Shiro Takasu sent a report to the joint headquarters of the 9th and 11th Divisions: "The navy is in place!"

It has already brought its aviation team to the location, and is just waiting for the Japs from the Ninth and Eleventh Divisions to appear on the riverside, and then sends a boat to pick them up. This is the end of this combat plan.

The two division commanders, Yamabo Takatake and Yoshizumi Ryosuke, who received this telegram, were so excited that tears filled their eyes:

The navy finally arrived.

Shan Bao Chongwu asked someone to call back immediately: "Please come closer and bomb the entire central area of ​​Yang's residence!"

Since a national army team penetrated all its defense lines from south to north, the 9th and 11th Divisions have been divided into several pieces inside the Yang family residence.

Just five hundred meters away from their joint headquarters, the national army was attacking fiercely.

At this time, if there is an indiscriminate and full-coverage bombing from naval guns, it will definitely cause heavy casualties to the national army without fortress protection.

Under the bombardment of naval guns, the tanks captured by the national army were nothing more than paper toys.

The commanders of the Yamabo Somu Division and the Auxiliary Division Yoshizumi seemed to have seen the scene where the national army was blown up and turned upside down.

The two old devils looked at each other and smiled: "Heroes see the same thing!"

After arriving at Yangjiazhai and entering Shanbao Chongwu's headquarters, Auxiliary Commander Yoshizumi Ryo preferred to establish a joint headquarters rather than establish a separate headquarters.

What struck me at first was the sturdiness here: I wonder if the commander of the Shanbao Chongwu Division had this moment in mind when he built this headquarters.

Its joint command post can withstand bombardment by 405mm naval guns.

This standard has long been beyond the understanding of the commander of the Yoshizumi Ryo Division. He only thinks that if he is commanding the team here, he will never be killed by a cannonball.

Let the navy's artillery shells come more violently!

This can only kill the national troops who came to attack and a few Japanese soldiers who were on guard outside.

The commanders inside the fortress are absolutely safe.

The two division commanders had the same idea, except:

Their request put Chief of Staff Takasu Shiro in a difficult position.

It originally only parked the warship ten kilometers away from the south coast.

I look forward to using this location to support the Japs on the riverside pier.

As a result, there was no ghost at the dock, not a single ghost.

The request it received turned out to be for its fleet to bomb the central area of ​​​​Yang's residence.

Doesn’t this require the Second Aviation Team and the Third Aviation Team to get closer to a position five kilometers away from the south bank?

When Commander Yongshan Daiki received this request, he couldn't help but cursed: "Ba Ge! These army red deer!"

Even if you scold me, you can't stop taking action!

And there is no time to wait, as there is a telegram from the head of Shanbao Chongwu Division requesting to bomb the central area of ​​​​Yang's house.

It is already known that the headquarters of the Ninth Division and the Eleventh Division are under attack.

Wei Mingyang stood on a high place and looked at the scenery!

He and his team had been resting on the position for fifteen minutes, and everyone finally became calmer.

Observation post reported: "Japanese warship discovered!"

Wei Mingyang looked towards the upstream river and could see many dark shadows in the distance walking down the river.

He stood up and said to Zhang Lingfu and Song Xilian: "You two! Please go back! This is not safe!"

Song Xilian smiled: "In the whole of Central China, is there any safer place than being by Brother Wei's side?

Brother Wei has a cannon in his hand, I have it all in the world!

With you here, all ghosts can't escape, not to mention the Japanese invaders' several broken boats in the distance."

After Zhang Lingfu heard this, he was so impressed that he said: "It is true that he is a general who is the commander of an army, compared to me, a colonel and commander of a regiment.

Just this ability to flatter someone is so high.

But after he said so, there is no room for him to continue to perform."

At the moment, I could only say awkwardly: "Brother Wei can be here, and I can be here too!"

When Wei Mingyang saw that they were unwilling to retreat, he did not force them and began to adjust the anti-aircraft guns.

The Japanese are still a little far away. Although they have entered their own shooting range, there are still warships in the distance. They must let all the warships enter the shooting range before firing.

After completing the task of eradicating evil, if you hit the snake, you will die!

Taiji Endo's Second Aviation Squadron was in front, and Commander Tokugawa Yuma of the "Sado" looked at the dock in the distance.

Asked for instructions: "Commander! Can you stop?"

Taiji Endo ordered: "Measure the distance to the dock. It should be within five kilometers."

"Hai!" Tokugawa Yuma agreed and quickly gave the order.
To be continued...
