When Su Feiyang used the difficult flight technology to attract many Japanese aircraft to pursue them,

The Battle of Jiangyin is happening according to the original history.

But this battle broke out early.

After the first wave of Japanese attacks was completed, the second echelon immediately emerged from the clouds and dropped a large number of bombs, which landed around the "Pinghai". Meng Hanlin, the commander of the "Pinghai", died on the spot. The anti-aircraft machine gunner was seriously injured and fell next to the machine gun. The motorboat helm Zheng Lixiang rushed towards the machine gun regardless of his own. As soon as he grabbed the handle of the gun, he was penetrated by the Japanese machine gun. He was bleeding and killed on the spot.

The Japanese army used a small number of aircraft to restrain the fortress troops, and most of them attacked the naval fleet, with the focus on besieging the flagship "Pinghai".

Facing the sky full of sun planes, the Chinese Navy launched a fierce counterattack without fear. Anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns fired a dense air defense firepower network, and Japanese planes kept falling into the Yangtze River.

Nine Japanese aircraft formed a fleet and dived towards the starboard side of the "Pinghai". All the guns and machine guns of the "Pinghai" starboard side were concentrated on shooting at the leading Japanese aircraft. The Japanese aircraft fell into the Yangtze River without even humming. The Japanese aircraft behind suddenly lost its direction and fled in all directions.

A small team of Japanese planes broke through our artillery fire intercepting and dived towards the tail of the "Pinghai". Liu Fu, the tail anti-aircraft machine gunner, shot desperately, and shot down two Japanese planes in succession. Just as he was shooting, a shell exploded beside the ship, breaking the machine gun bracket. He picked up the hot machine gun and shot it hard, and his arms were burned and completely ignored.

In the fierce battle, the flagship "Pinghai" was covered with bruises and other ships were also covered with scars, but they were all brave and heroic. The "Ninghai" also shot down a Japanese plane before sinking. The "Yixian" used the armor-piercing missiles of the ship to exploded in the air, and the other flying Japanese plane was also detonated.

18 enemy planes appeared in sight, from downstream toward the "Ninghai" and "Pinghai" ships rushed to the port side of the port - this was the 92nd ship attack 12 and 95th ship battles belonging to the 12th Air Force of the Uehara Land-based 2nd United Airlines Fleet of the Japanese Army, Kaga.

The cannons on the sides of the two ships immediately adjusted their firing positions and aimed the muzzle at the enemy planes that rushed over the mouth of Jiangyin Gorges at an almost horizontal and ultra-low altitude. The Japanese army adopted the group bombing tactic this time, and 18 aircraft formed a close formation to rush towards the "Pinghai" and "Ninghai" ships. The naval ships and the Jiangyin Fortress immediately launched violent shelling at the air. The Japanese aircraft group suddenly divided into two teams in a fire net. The first team went from southeast to northwest, and the second team went from north to south, attacking the fleet from both sides in an inverted "V"-shaped formation.

The first team of Japanese planes rushed into the fleet in fierce artillery fire, resolutely maintaining their formation and prohibiting individual bomb drops. The "Pinghai", "Ninghai", "Yingrui", "Yixian" ships and the fortress's anti-aircraft artillery fired violently, but they failed to shoot down the enemy plane. The first team of Japanese planes gradually approached and lowered their height, and finally reached the attack position above the fleet. The Japanese Navy cruiser Izumo was cruiser.

The first batch of more than 10 60-kilogram bombs fell between the "Pinghai" ship and the "Ninghai" ship, rushing into a red light, followed by an explosion of the sky and the earth collapsed, stirring up a huge column of water, and obscuring all the ships of "Pinghai". Although these near-lost bombs landing on the port side of the "Pinghai" did not hurt the hull, the fragments caused great damage to the personnel on the deck and equipment with only weak armor protection. The rice cabin in the front began to be soaked in water, and the stern of the ship was also hit by multiple fragments. The captain Gao Xianshen, who was in the order, was injured in the waist and was seriously injured, but he ordered people to find bandages to entangle the wounds and stay in the command position.

The stern of the ship "Ninghai" was also hit by shrapnel. The first attack wave was fleeting, and artillery fire failed to hit the enemy plane. The second team of Japanese planes saw that the first wave of attack was successful, and drilled through the clouds from the upstream and dropped bombs horizontally with the target of "Pinghai". More than 20 bombs fell before and behind the "Yingrui" ship and between the "Pinghai" ship. The stern of the ship "Pinghai" ship was hit by near-lost bullet debris. The first intern commander Meng Hanlin died and the machine gunner was injured. The second-class motorboat helmsman Zheng Lixiang saw that the machine gun was unmanned and rushed towards the machine gun without hesitation. When he held the handle of the gun in his hand, his chest was penetrated and he died heroically.

Yan Zuguan, a sergeant who rushed forward to grab the gun, was also hit by a fragment and died. Zhang Yucheng, a sergeant who was repairing the machine gun, was seriously injured. Two soldiers of the "Ninghai" ship, as the second target of bombing, were also injured.

This time the bomb also injured the Yingrui ship, causing the ship's left torpedo tube to be penetrated, the front mast and the iron plate on the side of the ship were penetrated, and three soldiers were injured. China's anti-aircraft artillery fire still did not catch. At 11:30, the alarm sounded again. The 6 96 ships of the Shanghai Ki 2nd Air Force of the Kaga took off for a moment and flew over the fortress and first launched an attack on the Ninghai. At this time, the anti-aircraft artillery of the Navy ships was insufficient, but they still opened fire to fight. In the barrage, the enemy plane was forced to drop bombs in advance, and dozens of 250-pound heavy bombs fell near the "Ninghai". None of the two ships of Pinghai made the side and deck of the "Ninghai" ship penetrated more than 10 holes, and four sailors were seriously injured. Pinghai" injured more than a dozen people.

At 4:30 pm, six Type 92 ships and three Type 95 ships of the 12th Air Force of the enemy, the 2nd United Airlines Fleet, attacked again, and the attack was still "ping" and "ning" two ships. The navy formed a long-range intercepting fire net to disrupt the enemy formation and prevented the enemy plane from approaching the dive and dropping bombs. The enemy had no choice but to fly high into the clouds, and dropped bombs at "Hairong", "Haichou", and "Yingrui" ships rushed to drop bombs, but all failed. Later, the enemy planes dropped all the remaining bombs into Jiangyin County for revenge, and dozens of innocent civilians were injured and killed.

From 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., the ships gathered on the waters of Jiangyin and the officers and soldiers on the shore for 9 hours. The "Ninghai" warship consumed more than 400 anti-aircraft shells and more than 8,000 machine gun shells; the "Pinghai" warship consumed 265 anti-aircraft shells and more than 4,000 machine gun shells. The air strikes of enemy planes did not cause much damage, and only 5 people were killed and 23 injured. That night, Commander Chen Jiliang convened a meeting of captains of each ship, and ordered that "Pinghai" must not lower the commander's flag on the mast to avoid the key bombing of Japanese aircraft, and that each ship must not sail upstream for maneuver.

More than 10 Japanese warships were advancing towards Jiangyin! The flagship hung up the battle flag for preparation, and the flute of the preparation was echoing on the Jiangyin River. "Pinghai", "Ninghai" and "Yixian" three-ship officers and soldiers rushed to the deck and quietly waited for the final battle in the artillery position - the fleet duel. However, the new war was destined not to give the old-minded navy such an opportunity.

The Japanese ships rushed back near Changshan, and all the naval officers and soldiers were extremely disappointed. At 7 am, the "Pinghai" ship ordered each ship to withdraw its guns. At 10:30 am, the lookout platform reported that two enemy reconnaissance planes hovered over the starboard side of the "Ninghai", but the distance was far. The command expected that there would be a fierce battle today, so it ordered the ships to start lunch in advance, and at the same time ordered the sailors to hurry up and recuperate and prepare for a decisive battle. At 1:55 pm, an alarm sounded, and at 2:5 pm, an emergency alarm sounded again. A few minutes later, 12 94 ships of the enemy's 13th Air Force attacked from the west of the right rear of the fleet, which was still far away.

Waiting for fighter jets in the air (in fact, the fleet on the starboard side only constrains the fleet, so it only hovers in the distance). At the same time, 14 enemy aircraft were found on the port side (96 land attack of the 13th Air Force)! There is a formation of 20 enemy aircraft on the rear left (8 each of the 94-bomb and 96-bomb attacks taken off from the Kaga, and 4 of the 96-bomb attacks). There are also 992-bomb attacks and 395-bomb attacks in the stern direction of the enemy 12 air force, which is suppressed by the fortress firepower, in the Hushi "Pinghai" and "Ninghai" two ships! A total of 58 enemy aircraft came to attack the weak naval fleet, which shows that the Japanese army is determined to pass this battle once and for all.
Chapter completed!
