    Zhong Yi was cheering loudly, but the three old devils on the Ashigara cruiser were cursing.

    Especially Tanabe Moritake, when he saw that the small steamer used to project troops was hit by Chinese artillery one after another, and one of the guns even damaged the engine of the small steamer, the old Japanese turned green with anger.

    The pioneer team's beach landing operations have been hit repeatedly, which has seriously shaken his prestige!

    Tanabe Moritake was very worried. If the cost of landing on the beach was too high, Yanagawa Heisuke might ask the base camp to replace him as chief of staff!

    At that moment, Tanabe Shengwu said: "Your Excellency, Commander, I really didn't expect that the quality of China's artillery was so high!"

    What Tanabe said was a shirk of responsibility. What he meant was that the advance team was hit repeatedly. It was not because the plan I drew up was not good enough, but because the Chinese artillery was too powerful!

    Yanagawa Heisuke did not blame Tanabe Moritake, and said with deep approval: "The Chinese artillerymen are not only well-educated, but also very cunning. They knew that they would be retaliated by the imperial naval gunfire, so they released a smoke screen in front of the artillery position in advance, but the naval ship  Cannon¡¯s revenge has become very difficult!¡±

    Deputy Toyoda echoed: "Yanagawa-kun is right. Without being able to calibrate the exact position of the China artillery, our naval guns can only fire in a range. If we want to destroy this artillery of the China army, the price we have to pay will be huge."  It¡¯s astonishing that even though the Fourth Fleet has sufficient ammunition, it can¡¯t afford such squandering!¡±

    After a pause, Toyota's deputy commander continued: "But fortunately there is still a weather team!"

    "Weather team?" Yanagawa Heisuke said, "Toyoda-kun, the weather team is condescending and conducts observations from the air. It can ignore the smoke screen released by the China Army and easily determine its exact position!"

    After a pause, Yanagawa Heisuke said again: "Toyoda-kun, please!"

    "Hai!" Deputy Toyoda bowed back to Yanagawa Heisuke, then stood up and ordered the adjutant beside him, "Order, the weather team immediately releases the balloon to determine the exact location of the China Army's artillery position!"

    "Hai!" The adjutant gave a heavy nod, turned around and left quickly.

    When a few old devils looked back, they saw that in just a moment, two more small steamers had been bombarded. One of the small trains was directly hit in the fuel tank, causing the small steamer to explode and catch fire!

    "Baga!" Yanagawa Heisuke's facial muscles began to twitch violently.

    What Yanagawa Heisuke cares about is not the casualties, but the loss of transportation capacity!

    This time, we relied on the help of the Shanghai Armed Merchant Group to collect more than 70 landing craft. Now every loss of one means that it will be more difficult to land on the Jinshanwei beach!

    ¡°Sounding balloon?!¡±

    Seeing the sounding balloon rising from the Japanese warship, Wang Zilong's eyes suddenly froze.

    As a battalion commander, Wang Zilong is no stranger to the Japs¡¯ air-sounding balloons. On the battlefield, the reason why the Japs¡¯ artillery fires so accurately is because of the presence of the Japs¡¯ air-sounding balloons!

    "Moreover, the Chinese army has nothing to do with the Japanese's sounding balloons.

    "It's useless!" Zhong Yi curled his lips and said, "I have been on guard against the devils for a long time!"

    Wang Zilong snorted lightly and said: "The Japanese thought we only put up a smoke screen in front of the artillery position, but they were totally wrong. We put out a whole smoke screen!"

    While the two were talking, the Japanese small fire wheel approached a few hundred meters closer.

    After suffering several losses, the Japanese's small steamer also began to learn the lesson. Instead of moving in a straight line, it began to take a serpentine shape on the sea. It would rather spend more time to ensure safety.

    The hit rate of the Kuomintang artillery dropped sharply.

    This result was already expected by Zhong Yi and others.

    After all, a cannon is not a rifle, it is originally an area-of-effect weapon!

    However, the lack of accuracy can be made up for by quantity!

    At that moment, Zhong Yi said: "Adjutant Wang, go notify the other artillery platoons to implement concentrated fire!"

    Wang Zilong turned back and nodded to the guard standing behind him. The guard immediately turned around and rushed out of the observation post, came to a high ground and waved two triangular flags.

    is a semaphore, and each artillery platoon communicates with each other through semaphore.

    The next moment, on the Jinshanwei coastline, the six Bofus Mountain guns of the Guojun Mountain Artillery Battery began bombarding at the same time, dumping rows of shells onto the sea ahead.

    Facing the concentrated fire attack of six mountain cannons, the situation of the Japanese small steamer immediately became difficult.

    After a while, two more small steamers were hit by artillery fire and were destroyed.During the fire, the Japanese infantrymen riding on the small steamers were also forced to jump into the cold sea water. The Japs who knew the water were fine, but the Japs who couldn't water immediately began to sink. The Japs on several small steamers nearby  He quickly threw down the lifebuoy and started emergency rescue. The scene was a bit chaotic for a while.

    ¡­¡­

    On board the cruiser Ashigara.

    The expressions of the old devils became more and more embarrassing.

    Especially Deputy Toyoda, who felt very humiliated, immediately roared angrily at the adjutant behind him: "Baga, what are the weather teams doing? Why haven't we calibrated the exact position of China's artillery yet?"

    "Hai!" The poor adjutant bowed and ran over to ask.

    After a while, the adjutant hurried over again and replied with a dark face: "Your Excellency, Commander, the weather team said that there is smoke everywhere on the artillery positions of the China Army and it is difficult to see clearly!"

    "Nani?" Deputy Toyoda said in surprise, "There is smoke everywhere, isn't it just a line of smoke released in front of the artillery position?"

    "Hai!" the adjutant paused.

    "Baga!" Deputy Toyoda cursed, "Cunning Chinese!"

    Yanagawa Heisuke also said with a gloomy face: "It seems that the commander of China on the opposite side is a smart man. He seems to have expected that the imperial army will use the weather team to determine the position of his artillery!"

    Tanabe Moritake said: "Your Excellency, Commander, now we can only seek support from the Naval Air Force!"

    Yanagawa Heisuke said: "Sosdai, call the Third Fleet headquarters immediately and ask for tactical guidance!"

    "Hai!" Tanabe Moritake gave a heavy nod and ordered his adjutant to send a telegram to the Third Fleet, and then said, "Your Excellency, Commander, the cost of forcibly landing on the beach in the face of the Chinese army's artillery is too high! Otherwise!  Let the advance team withdraw first? Wait until the aviation forces destroy the Chinese artillery, and then make a beach landing?"

    Yanagawa Heisuke shook his head decisively and said: "No, the first team cannot withdraw!"

    After a pause, he continued: "Order, let the landing craft increase the distance between each other!"

    "Nani?" Tanabe Moributsu said, "Your Excellency, Commander, increasing the distance between the landing craft will inevitably make it impossible for the infantry of the advance team to assemble quickly after landing!"

    Failure to assemble quickly will inevitably lead to dispersion of firepower!

    Yanagawa Heisuke said: "If you cannot assemble, you will fight alone. The soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army are all warriors. Even if they fight alone, they can easily defeat the cowardly China people!"

    Tanabe Shengwu said nothing more.

    And this is the fourth fatal mistake made by the Japanese!

    Yanagawa Heisuke's order was quickly issued to the landing craft ahead through semaphores.

    The dozen or so landing craft that were originally gathered together immediately dispersed, widening the distance between each other. In this way, the threat of the national jun artillery was greatly weakened.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
