With a bang, a frigate suddenly shook, and the surrounding river water exploded into a water column several meters high. A small suicide submarine exploded. Hundreds of kilograms of explosives blasted the frigate into a big hole, and the river roared. After pouring it into the cabin, the frigate began to show signs of sinking.
The Japanese army, which was bombarding the positions of the third company and the first battalion of recruits, suddenly realized that the enemy had a conspiracy to force them to drop anchor in order to blow them up. He ordered the anchor to be lowered, and rushed forward quickly. As long as he drove, he would not be beaten here.
In order to launch as soon as possible, the strategic ship that was originally towing the troop carrier decisively disconnected the tow rope, dropped the troop carrier, and began to rush forward.
Even so, many of the more than 20 small suicide submarines have already attached to the warships, and launched suicide attacks frantically. The explosions continued for a while, and several frigates and two cruisers began to attack. When the water sinks, hundreds of kilograms of explosives are definitely not comparable to ordinary shells.
The worst thing was the troop carriers. Although the small submarines were unrecognizable, there were still three small submarines that missed the opportunity because of the mobilization of the Japanese fleet. They had to stick to the troop carriers. a big hole.
The river flooded back, and the troop carrier began to tilt because of its heavy draft. A large number of Japanese and puppet troops on board fell into the water, and some jumped into the water on their own initiative. This was much more severe than the three-company shelling.
As the end of the new year approaches and it is snowing heavily, the Yangtze River is already covered with ice, but the ice layer has not yet reached the thickness and cannot withstand people. In other words, it can withstand so many people. It is impossible for Luo Jin to struggle in the icy cold river water. After going ashore, many people were frozen to death without struggling far, not to mention there were still many who could not swim.
The three troop carriers were more than 2,000 Japanese puppet troops. With the sinking of these three ships, the third company bombarded the remaining ships even more frantically. They could kill many of them even if they were not sinkable. I don't know how many little devils died for a while.
The Japanese army did not expect this kind of sneak attack. If it wasn't for Ukita who forced the warship to stop, if it weren't for these small suicide submarines carrying a lot of explosives, if it wasn't for the concentration of the Japanese army, and if there were not too many people coming from the Japanese army, everything might not have happened. It will be like this.
Although those gunboats began to fight back, when they adjusted their muzzles, not to mention that the dozen gunboats bombed by the small suicide submarine sank, and the triple bombardment also killed a dozen of them, leaving less than ten. Had to give up on the escort troop carriers, all those damn warships gone.
When the support of the gunboats was lost, the Japanese army would be miserable. They were smashed to pieces by three consecutive shells and strafed by the recruit battalion. Many Japanese soldiers died very aggrieved. Without the protection of the fleet, these troop carriers were simply targets. Only two cargo ships escaped from the battlefield and fled desperately.
After firing all the shells in three consecutive rounds, several troop carriers have been bombed beyond recognition, but they still haven't sunk. However, there are not many Japanese and puppet troops left on them. It is impossible to land, and their spirit has been completely beaten. Lost.
The siege planned by the Japanese army was completely broken in this way, and Liu Yang on both sides of the mine was captured. After joining the special forces, they began to attack the Japanese army on the west side with all their strength. At the same time, Kong Xuewen also began to strengthen the attack. The Japanese army on the mountain fell into a Surrounded on all sides, under the constant beating of thousands of Japanese troops, there were only less than four hundred left, which were compressed on the west side of the position.
The reinforcements were wiped out, and the continuous explosion of artillery on the Yangtze River made the Japanese army realize that they had no support. In this case, the Japanese army chose to surrender.
As soon as the Japanese army surrendered, the mine fell into the hands of the secret service battalion, and the Japanese army in Ma'anshan was also isolated. However, the secret service battalion lost a lot. The secret service battalion alone lost nearly 200 people, not counting the new army battalion. With the transfer of the new barracks, the Niutun River Bridge is a bit weak, so the new barracks still have to go back, but they are stationed temporarily.
A large amount of steel is transported to Xiliang Mountain and Taihu Lake. Although it snows and freezes, it brings some benefits to the transportation. If the disease has to cross the frozen river, the wooden raft can be rowed directly. The transportation back and forth is lighter. , As for the shipment to Taihu Lake, these steel products will be shipped to Dangtu first.
This is all something to say later, as the mine was brought down, the Japanese troops in Ma'anshan and Lishui were hit hard, and they didn't dare to go out of the city to fight for a while.
The most depressing thing was the warships of the Japanese army. Although the strategic ships were not lost, two cruisers were lost, and one strategic ship was severely damaged. What was even worse was that the two puppet brigades that had relied on the encirclement and suppression of the spy battalion , almost all of them were buried on the Yangtze River, only more than 300 Japanese soldiers and more than 1,000 puppet troops fled back, and there was no way to encircle or suppress them.?.
This battle destroyed the morale of the Japanese army, and deepened the Japanese army's fear of those things that Liu Yang had in his hands to attack warships. These things are hard to find, small in size, low in cost, easy to produce, and absolutely sinister enough. The Japanese army is also very fond of these things. It's a headache, I didn't expect the Yangtze River Fleet to suffer such heavy losses.
The Yangtze River Fleet has retreated. Without the support of the army, it is impossible for them to go ashore to fight, but they cannot hit the spy battalion on the shore, and they must be careful of surprise attacks. Retreating is the best choice.
But without the support from the Yangtze River, the Japanese army in Ma'anshan became too thin, guarding Ma'anshan tightly, and did not dare to come out to face the spy battalion.
Liu Yang did not let the Japanese army stop, but sent more than a dozen snipers to harass the Ma'anshan defenders day and night. The poor Japanese army was terrified. They were afraid of a sneak attack by the secret service battalion, so they had to spend money on defense, making the Japanese army miserable.
Just took down the Ma'anshan mine, Liu Yang was not stupid enough to attack Ma'anshan, because he knew that with the end of the war in the fifth theater, the Japanese army would soon start a counterattack. If you don't take it back, if you stay here for a long time, the Japanese army will definitely counterattack aggressively, so Liu Yang left the new barracks to garrison Ma'anshan, but he retreated.
The battle at Ma'anshan has come to an end, and Liu Yang doesn't plan to stay any longer, because the time for the Japanese army to attack Taihu Lake is getting closer, and Liu Yang wants to go back to Taihu Lake.
However, Dangtu is still very dangerous. In order to alleviate this danger, Liu Yang also made arrangements, leaving the third company and the special forces, and rushed back to Taihu Lake with only the first company and the second company.
The situation in Taihu Lake is a bit weird now. The Japanese army does not plan to counterattack with all its strength. At least Xishan County on Taihu Lake is not destroyed. The Japanese army cannot control the waters of Taihu Lake, so it is difficult to encircle and suppress. Therefore, the Japanese army is also waiting, and it is relatively in a calm period.
Although Liu Yang had already abandoned places like Liyang and Langxi, Guangde and Deqing, and only dug and consolidated a large number of tunnels in Huzhou surrounding Taihu Lake, the Japanese army did not take the opportunity to occupy these cities.
The Japanese army didn't have much interest in these empty cities, and they didn't have enough troops to occupy them. Xishan Island couldn't be captured, so it didn't make much sense to occupy these cities.
On the way Liu Yang led the spy battalion back, he didn't meet the Japanese army at all, and he was very comfortable, but he didn't know that Xiliang Mountain was already in chaos.
Just when Liu Yang passed Bowang, as Liu Yang¡¯s best engineer, Chris received a letter from the United States. The letter was written by Chris¡¯s mother, who missed her very much. I hope Chris can go back to accompany them.
It has been a year since she came out in a blink of an eye, and Chris has done too many things for Liu Yang, but up to now, Chris also feels tired, working hard every day, is it really for the money, even though it is more expensive than domestic income? Much more, but this is not the main purpose of Chris's visit. Now, Chris is also tired of this situation.
Without this letter, maybe Chris could have stayed for a while longer, but after receiving the letter, Chris looked at the thoughts in her mother's letter and cried alone¡ª¡ª
After thinking about it for a few days, Chris finally made up her mind. It is true that Chris likes Liu Yang and thinks Liu Yang is a hero, but Chris also understands that Liu Yang doesn't like her very much, and she just treats her more as a senior worker.
This is not what Chris wants. Their family is considered rich, and they can live a good life when they return home. Moreover, Chris's technology can also make Chris live a good life. There is no need to fight in this world What does China stand for.
So Chris decided to leave and return to her parents. After all, he is not young anymore, even three or four years older than Liu Yang. This age has already been considered a lot.
Just after Liu Yang passed Bowang, Chris also packed up her luggage, and then made an explanation to the Xiliangshan base, then ignored others' persuasion, and insisted on leaving. Xiliangshan had to send someone to escort Ke Alice.
Fortunately, the road has been smooth, and Chris also crossed the Yangtze River and rushed to Taihu Lake, just to say goodbye to Liu Yang, and also to say goodbye to her relationship.
Chris is not an indecisive woman. Once she has made a decision, others cannot persuade her.
Liu Yang didn't know the news yet, but he had already reported it to Zheng Jinfeng.
Originally received the news that Liu Yang was coming back, Zheng Jinfeng was so excited that she didn't sleep well all night. She hadn't seen her man for more than half a year. Zheng Jinfeng naturally missed it very much, and wished that Liu Yang would be home soon.
But Zheng Jinfeng couldn't be happy when he received the news from Xiliang Mountain.
Zheng Jinfeng doesn't like Chris, because he knows that this foreign woman has been thinking about her man, but whether he likes it or not, Zheng Jinfeng understands the importance of Chris, who is the most important engineer under Liu Yang, It is absolutely worthless, its importance is self-evident, Zheng Jinfeng sees it very clearly.
