Wei Mingyang fired continuously, and the targets of this attack became those small gunboats and minesweepers.

Captain Oguri Taro commanded the 021 gunboat. When charging, it was in the front.

Although it rushed to the front, the gunboat only had one 75-mm-caliber field gun and two 12.7-mm-caliber anti-aircraft machine guns.

Even if it is at the front, it cannot launch an attack on the Chinese warships in the distance. Its current role on the battlefield is to explode the torpedoes as much as possible when it finds them.

Or stop in front of the battleship to block mines!

Fortunately, although the artillery fire from the Chinese army was powerful today, they did not launch torpedoes.

This is because the national army cannot use it!

After receiving the order to retreat, Captain Oguri Taro immediately began to turn around, and the boat turned around quickly.

After making a U-turn, I was about to speed away.

The front boat was hit by a shell.

Hinata Tanaka and Taro Oguri, who were steering the ship, were blown into the cannon.

021 The gunboat turned off and slowly stopped.

This puts Hamasaki Reita and the others in a difficult position.

The Nationalist warships were approaching, but their gunboats could not move.

Become a prisoner or escape by jumping into the sea?

Ken Shiina took a lifebuoy and jumped into the sea. He wanted to swim to another minesweeper not far away.

With one Japs in tow, all the Japs who were lucky enough to be alive on the gunboat jumped into the sea and abandoned the boat.

Fortunately, their little gunboat did not receive a second shell after taking one shot.

Shiina Ken swam toward the minesweeper not far away. He clearly saw that the Japanese on the minesweeper had discovered his people.

However, instead of coming to rescue them, the minesweeper accelerated its speed and fled.

"Ba Ge! I curse you to be hit by the national army's artillery shells!" Ken Shiina roared while struggling in the sea water.

Then its eyes widened: the minesweeper in front was really hit by a shell.

As was their fate, they soon stalled and stopped.

The Japanese like Shiina Ken and others who are already in the sea cannot see far.

The situation on the entire battlefield is not clear.

At this time, Commander Koichi Shiozawa, who was already standing on the lifeboat and leaving the scene at high speed, could clearly see that many small boats on the battlefield were all shut down by Wei Mingyang's shot.

There were no warships that could leave the scene with its lifeboats, and only a dozen small gunboats fled in panic.

When Shiozawa Koichi saw this scene, he burst into tears: "I'm sorry to His Majesty the Emperor!"

It's sorry for the emperor!

It lived up to the emperor’s expectations of it!

As for the Japanese who died on the battlefield, it has nothing to be ashamed of.

The fact that the war ended like this was the result of the Japanese's lack of effort.

As long as it had a Japs under its command who could hit every shot like Wei Mingyang, its fifth fleet would not be completely wiped out today.

There were more than a dozen small gunboats that escaped, but the entire army could not be considered wiped out.

Japs like Hamasaki Reita, Shiina Ken and others were floating on the sea, suddenly not knowing where they were going.

The gunboats they could see had all turned off and were floating on the sea.

Not a single moving warship could be seen.

Shiina Ken pointed to the minesweeper in front and motioned to several Japanese soldiers around to get on the minesweeper.

It now has the consciousness of being a captive.

However, the Chinese gunboats chasing after them clearly misjudged the intentions of these Japanese soldiers.

I think they are trying to grab the minesweeper.

Without any explanation, the machine guns on the gunboat fired like raindrops.

Hamasaki Reita heard the sound of machine gun fire.

Quickly dive in with a sharp thrust. It wants to dive into the water and avoid being hit by the machine gun.

Shiina Ken's movement was a beat slower and he was hit by a bullet from an anti-aircraft machine gun.

A big hole suddenly opened in his body.

Now it can no longer survive.

Hamasaki Reita was holding his breath in the water, and when he couldn't bear it anymore, he floated up.

The gunboat, which was much closer, opened fire again on the cunning Japanese.

Ta-ta-ta!

Hamasaki Reita couldn't escape this time. He was hit and slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.

The battle on the Bohai Sea was fierce today.

At this time, Wei Mingyang watched the battleships of his own fleet approach the "Lian" cautiously.

I miss you so much: Helicopters!

If there were such a weapon, it would be very easy to go from one battleship to another.

Fortunately, Captain Yuki Nozawa also received the order to retreat.

It had abandoned the ship and escaped with the Japanese who were lucky enough to be alive.

All the battleships that lost power abandoned their ships and fled.

Some of the enemy planes in the air were lucky enough not to be blown up, and they all fled in a hurry toward Lushunkou.

The battle on the Bohai Sea lasted less than two hours.

It took Wei Mingyang four hours to clean the battlefield.

Those gunboats and minesweepers are small and can be towed away easily.

Commander Shiozawa Koichi's new flagship is a big one with a displacement of 13,000 tons. This one alone took Wei Mingyang an hour.

Each battleship must send people aboard to put out the fire first, and then try to tie the rope.

It was impossible for Wei Mingyang to just put these warships on the sea, he had to take them with him.

Drag them back to the port, and after repairs, they will become your own warships.

Now Wei Mingyang could only order these captured warships to be dragged behind, and continue to sail towards Jinxi.

During the battle, although he had received a battle report from Guan Dahai, it was said that an infantry division of the Japanese attacking Xingcheng had been completely wiped out.

But the pressure in the direction of Xingcheng has not decreased at all.

Even if another Japanese infantry division was annihilated today, they would still have ten infantry divisions to use.

For the Japanese, losing an infantry division is not a big deal and they can tolerate it.

But for this operation of the National Army: it cannot afford the loss of a single division.

No matter whether it is Xia Chuzhong's army attacking the Japanese from the direction of Shanhaiguan, Yang Sen's army attacking Lingnan, or Zhang Zizhong's army attacking Lingyuan, they cannot afford to fail.

As long as the Japanese are given a chance, the entire battle may be overturned by the Japanese.

When Wei Mingyang was fighting at sea, the commander of the North China Front, Shouichi Terauchi, stared at the map.

It is waiting for news about the Shibasaki Taichi Infantry Division and the Ishiguro Guard Infantry Division attacking Jinzhou.

These were the two infantry divisions it immediately dispatched when it first settled down in Yi County and ordered them to march overnight.

We will attack Jinzhou today!

Commander Shouichi in the temple knew clearly: If they did not take advantage of the opportunity when the national army was not yet firmly established, they could quickly take back Jinzhou.

After the follow-up troops of the national army arrive, it will be difficult to recapture Jinzhou.

The battle for the Great Wall in the past two years has made him very aware of the resilience of the Chinese army in defending the city.

Shibasaki Taichi, the commander of the division, was very surprised that his division was immediately dispatched to the battlefield to attack Jinzhou.

This division is already in the interior of Northeast China and has no contact with the front line.

Although the front line was fighting to the death, it had nothing to do with this division.

The officers in the division who should be on vacation are still on vacation. They need to assemble urgently and mobilize immediately.

A quarter of the officers in the entire division were not available, so it could only order urgent telegrams to be sent to these people.

Inform them to end their vacation immediately and come back to join the war.

Then its team put on their equipment, got on the train, and drove to Jinzhou.
