"Commander-in-chief, the commemoration of the naval heroes is ready..."

Hearing the slightly heavy report from his subordinates' voice, Zheng Yong seemed to be in deep thought.

Before, the war was raging, and guns and cannons were heard all day long, and there was no time to handle these things. But now the situation is a little stable. The stories of the naval heroes who would rather sink their ships to commit suicide than surrender should be known to everyone.

After the end of the War of Resistance in Shanghai, the Kuomintang navy blocked the Yangtze River, and the island army was eager to open up the Yangtze River channel. The naval battle broke out before the land battle...

On the wide river east of Jiangyin Fortress, there are Chinese warships anchored.

On the ship, anti-aircraft guns opened their black muzzles and looked vigilantly at the gray sky.

At noon, the world was drizzling like a cow's hair, soaking the steel deck of the "Pinghai" ship wet. Captain Gao Xianshen took steady steps and carefully inspected each post.

Suddenly, a sharp and harsh roar sounded in the dark sky.

"Shoulder seat, island army planes appeared in front of us!"

Gao Xianshen looked up into the air. Sure enough, a group of island-country water attack aircraft and several bombers appeared on the river east, diving towards this side.

"Prepare for the fight!"

"boom……"

The anti-aircraft guns on the "Pinghai" ship began to fire at the enemy planes. At the same time, the "Ninghai" and "Yingrui" and other ships anchored near the "Pinghai" ship also began to shoot at the enemy planes.

However, enemy planes were completely concerned about the artillery fire on other ships and kept staring at the bombing of the "Pinghai" ship.

Gao Xianshen soon discovered this sign, knowing that the enemy plane had to concentrate its firepower to eat the "pinghai" first, and his situation was already very dangerous.

"Improve the shooting rate of shells and hit enemy planes hard!"

Amid Gao Xianshen's loud orders, thick smoke emerged from the tail of an enemy plane and flew towards Wusongkou.

Another enemy plane was hit by shells on the wings and staggered out of the battlefield.

"Good fight!" Gao Xianshen pushed the hat and shouted excitedly.

An enemy plane dived towards the "Pinghai" ship, dropped two bombs, and then cunningly rushed into the gloomy sky.

The bomb exploded next to the "Pinghai" ship, and shrapnel hit Gao Xianshen's body. He suddenly fell on the deck, and the soldiers hurriedly carried him back to the warehouse.

Later, seven bombers launched a second attack on the Pinghai ship.

The officers and soldiers of the ship were filled with righteous indignation and decided to serve the country with death.

Each of them knew very well that enemy planes would never give up until they sink the "Pinghai". Before the "Pinghai" sinks, only by shooting down and injuring the enemy planes can we live up to the name of the Chinese Navy!

They thought of the tragic scene that happened in the air battle not long ago.

A Chinese plane, in a very dangerous situation, hit a fierce attack on an enemy plane. The two planes that collided together bloomed in the air with gorgeous flames...

Now, it's the Navy brothers and the enemy's turn to fight to the death!

Finally, another enemy plane was hit by the anti-aircraft artillery of the "Pinghai" ship, dragging a long flame into the Yangtze River.

At this time, the brother ships also injured one after another and shot down one.

Unfortunately, one stood but landed on the deck of the "Pinghai" ship, and two soldiers were killed immediately.

Soon, the "Ying Rui" ship was specially hit by two bombs and the hull was severely damaged.

After six hours of the sea-air battle on this day, the Chinese fleet shot down two enemy planes and injured three.

Gao Xianshen asked someone to support him to the deck. He knew that he was about to lose his life, but he had to hold on and he could not fall down no matter what. He had to command his brothers to continue fighting the Japanese pirates' planes to the end.

The sky was terrifyingly gloomy. Looking at it, there was nothing on the dark sea surface. Gao Xianshen touched the injured wound and sighed softly: Can the "Pinghai" ship and himself survive tomorrow?

We must stay here tightly, no matter how difficult the situation is.

Once the island army opened up the Yangtze River channel, Japanese ships could rush around unscrupulously, take off one aircraft after another from the ship, and bomb the brothers on the ground.

Gao Xianshen sighed deeply, and with the help of his subordinates, he returned to his own warehouse...

In the early morning, the more cruel sea and air battle began again...

The enemy planes learned from yesterday's lessons and changed the way of combat.

The first thing that appeared on the river were several island troops reconnaissance aircraft. The Chinese fleet was about to fire the artillery, but the reconnaissance aircraft quickly slipped away cunningly. After a while, 13 fighter jets poked their heads out of the clouds, luring the fortress and the ships to air firepower, covering 26 bombers flying at ultra-low altitudes, and throwing a large number of bombs at the two ships "Pinghai" and "Ninghai".

The "Pinghai" ship was injured yesterday, but was bombarded by enemy planes today. It finally lost its combat effectiveness and was forced to withdraw from the battlefield.

"Order, abandon the ship!"

The enemy planes were staring at each other closely behind, and Gao Xianshen finally gritted his teeth and issued the order he was most reluctant to give.

But he suddenly realized that almost all his subordinates shook their heads.

"Pinghai" is their life, and the Yangtze River is where they rely on pride. They would rather die with the ship here than give up their "Pinghai".

Gao Xianshen smiled. He forgot how many times he hadn't smiled so comfortably.

"Strike back! Fight back to enemy planes!"

Gao Xianshen issued the last order from his own voice, and then a bomb exploded beside him, and Gao Xianshen fell into a pool of blood...

He died on his own ship, and there was nothing to regret for him.

Even without the captain, the officers and soldiers on the "Pinghai" ship are still carrying out the most tenacious resistance, and compose a song of the loyalty of the Chinese Navy with their lives and passion...

At 9 a.m., the "Pinghai" ship began to sink and became the first martyr in the sea-air war.

The enemy adopts the strategy of sinking ships.

After the "Pinghai" ship sank, enemy planes began to concentrate their firepower to bomb the "Ninghai" ship. Captain Chen Hongtai commanded all the soldiers of the ship to fight back bravely.

The brothers of the war shared their hatred against the enemy, gathered national hatred on shells, and fired fiercely at the enemy planes.

On the turbulent Yangtze River, warships shuttled back and forth, changing positions from time to time to avoid enemy planes. Various anti-aircraft guns on the ship formed powerful air-to-air firepower, and dazzling flames were like a series of meteors flying out of the ground, crashing towards the enemy planes that were sweeping down.

At this time, on the river surface, the loud noises of each ship rushing left and right were intertwined with the roaring sound of cannons, the explosion of shells, and the shouts of soldiers, forming a spectacular march of the sea and air battle.

One enemy plane was shot, and the other was beaten. They each rushed towards the lively river with a long string of thick smoke. With two loud bangs, several feet high water columns soared into the sky...

Although the "Ninghai" ships destroyed six planes in a row, the enemy planes still refused to retreat and dived and dropped bombs at the "Ninghai" on a crazy shore.

Several bombs landed on the ship's deck at the same time and exploded. Captain Chen Hongtai, who was commanding air combat, was overturned on the deck by fierce air waves. Navigator Lin Renyi was hit on the head by shrapnel and died on the spot.

The sailors helped Chen Hongtai up and found that his legs were seriously injured. When they were about to carry him into the warehouse to rescue him, Chen Hongtai roared angrily.

"There are people and the ships are there, and the ships are dead!"

He continued to command the battle with his seriously injured body.

At this time, the bottom of the ship had been blown up, and a large number of river water gushed in. After the most tenacious battle, the Ninghai finally slowly fell silent towards the bottom of the river like the Pinghai...

The "Ninghai" died for the country from the captain to the sailor!

It was not until the evening that the riverside youth palace, which had been noisy all day, became cold and quiet.

The navy soldiers knew that the sea and air battle was not over yet, so they didn't care about the blood on their bodies and soon began to be busy for the upcoming battle tomorrow...

The next day, 16 enemy planes flew from the Wusongkou to attack the "Yixian" ship.

After shooting down two enemy planes, the "Yixian" ship was shot and sunk into the river, and ten people were killed.

Then, the enemy planes concentrated their firepower to bomb the "Jiankang" destroyer ordered to rescue the reinforcements: the "Jiankang" ship fought back, shooting down two enemy planes and injured one, but it was also seriously injured. Under the continuous bombing of the enemy planes that also arrived at the reinforcements, the "Jiankang" ship was hit by eight rounds. Although the officers and soldiers of the ship fought bravely to rescue, they could not save the fate of the "Jiankang" ship sinking.

The most touching scene in this sea and air battle appears.

When the "Jiankang" ship slowly sank, all the officers and soldiers gathered together, braved the enemy planes to continuously bomb, and a huge blue sky and white sun flag fluttered in the wind, promoting the unyielding spirit of the Chinese Navy. The loud naval song was sang from the mouths of the officers and soldiers, and the song resounded throughout the world and never disappeared on the sea.

"We are the new navy of the Republic of China, and we are the new navy of the Three Principles of the People. We have firm beliefs and strict discipline. We manipulate warships in the new era and use the most powerful armored soldiers. We look at the Three Oceans, block the world, defend the territory, and consolidate peace. We work together, work together, and develop the good habit of loyalty, bravery and adventure.

Work together and work together. Create a new spirit of marine life. New Navy! New Navy! Riding the wind and breaking the waves of thousands of miles, and winning glory for the blue sky and white sun flag! Winning glory for the blue sky and white sun flag!"

Inspired by the Navy Song, the Chinese Navy fought bravely.

But under the bombing of the island army's absolute air superiority, the "Chu You" ship then sank.

Soon after, the ships such as "Blue Sky", "Hu Peng", "Hu E" and "Jiangning" sank in the Yangtze River under the repeated bombings of enemy planes.

The wide river surface east of Jiangyin Fortress has temporarily returned to peace...

In this naval and air war, the first and second fleets of the National Revolutionary Army Navy died in their country after destroying 18 enemy planes.

This is the most solemn and tragic page in the history of the Chinese navy. No ship is afraid of the enemy, no ship surrenders. They write the supreme glory of the Chinese navy. They fulfilled the duties of a soldier with their loyalty...

"Focus on the same boat and work together. Create a new spirit of marine life. New Navy! New Navy! Riding the wind and breaking the waves of thousands of miles, and winning glory for the blue sky and white sun flag! Winning glory for the blue sky and white sun flag!"
