"Damn it, Commander Ye is really capable.
He was able to stop such a big Japanese ship.
It is much easier to bombard the Japanese stopped warships now."
The Kuomintang brigade commander became more and more excited the more he watched.
"No, I have to help Chief Ye too."
What the National Army brigade commander really thought in his heart: Such a good opportunity to gain military merit cannot be missed.
Immediately, the brigade commander of the Nationalist Army rushed out of the command post and shouted to the soldiers on the battlefield: "Fuck you!
"Did you find the artillery I asked you to find?"
Not long after, a Kuomintang army commander came over and said helplessly: "Brigade Commander, it's hard to find any artillery at this time."
“It’s hard to find, but you have to find it for me.
Damn it, looking at Commander Ye across the street, bombarding the Japanese warships like this.
How can we just stand there and watch?
Commander Ye sent someone here before and asked us to find artillery.
I have also given you orders. Half a day has passed, and you still haven't found a cannon?
Wouldn't it be a waste of this opportunity to eat meat with Chief Ye?"
The National Army brigade commander roared arrogantly.
The regiment commander next to him, however, was complaining in his heart: Brigade commander, that's not what you said before.
Before, Ye Qingshan sent someone to inform us to collect artillery to deal with the Japanese warships.
But what you said was: Where can I find a gun for Ye Qingshan?
Now that you see Commander Ye eating meat, you change your attitude again.
Actually, this is not bad, this brigade commander of the National Army.
This temporary brigade of the National Army stationed at the ferry on the other side was originally a group of ragtag soldiers temporarily put together.
Therefore, even though they were organized as a brigade at this time, they did not have many artillery pieces.
They didn't even have the 82mm mortars that Ye Qingshan had gathered.
"Yes, Brigadier General, we found a gun."
A moment later, a battalion commander of the National Army came running over excitedly and told the good news.
A group of soldiers behind pushed a PAK 37mm anti-tank gun over, which was also a type of artillery that was more commonly equipped in the national army at that time.
At the beginning of the War of Resistance, the most important artillery pieces in the Nationalist army were the two or three types, of which the most numerous were:
These are the PAK 37mm anti-tank guns and 82mm mortars.
At this time, this 37mm anti-tank gun, which was dragged out from some corner by the Kuomintang soldiers, was missing a wheel.
The soldiers replaced the cart with wooden wheels and pushed it over.
Fortunately, this 37mm anti-tank gun is not very heavy and can be pushed by two soldiers.
“Haha, as long as we have a cannon, it’ll be fine.
How many shells are there?"
The National Army brigade commander asked with a smile.
Originally, he came here just to take advantage of the battle. The main force fighting the Japanese warships was from Ye Qingshan's side, and he just set up a cannon to join in the fun.
Later, I will report the battle situation to my superiors.
He could also write that he assisted Chief of Staff Ye Qingshan of the Nanjing garrison in shelling Japanese battleships.
That's so majestic.
As for what kind of cannon was used or how many cannons there were, it doesn’t matter.
Even whether or not the Japanese battleship Kirishima could be hit was not important.
Participation is important!
"Brigade Commander, there are only three shells left."
The soldier next to him whispered.
"Fuck, just three shots?"
"Okay. Three is three.
Gunner, aim at that Japanese warship on the river and fire at it."
The National Army brigade commander pointed excitedly at the Japanese battleship Kirishima on the river and shouted.
Immediately, the Kuomintang gunner next to him loaded the shells and began to aim.
As a result, he aimed for a long time but didn't fire.
The Kuomintang brigade commander became impatient and turned around and shouted, "Damn it, why don't you fire your guns?"
The gunner was about to cry: "Commander, the target is too small and too far away. I can't aim at it!"
"Damn it, even if you can't aim, just shoot me."
boom!
After a moment, the 37mm anti-tank gun finally opened fire.
The result, without a doubt, was a miss.
"Come again!"
The National Army brigade commander shouted.
Peng Peng!
Soon, the gunner fired all of the two remaining shells.
Still not a single shot hit the Japanese battleship Kirishima.
"Oh, what a pity."
The Kuomintang brigade commander left in disappointment.
boom!
As a result, just as the Kuomintang brigade commander left, a shocking explosion was heard behind him.
The location of their anti-tank gun was directly hit by a 157mm naval gun shell from the Japanese and was razed to the ground in an instant.
"Mom!"
The Kuomintang brigade commander was terrified. Looking at the 37mm anti-tank gun that was blown into scrap metal, he felt a wave of fear.
"He... Damn it, it's not easy to take advantage of this military achievement."
The Kuomintang brigade commander's voice was trembling.
Their anti-tank guns did not move as quickly as Ye Qingshan's 82mm mortars.
Isn't it because they are being targeted by the Japanese naval guns?
At this time, the situation on the Japanese battleship Kirishima was also very miserable.
In this short while, they had been hit eight or nine times by Ye Qingshan's 82mm mortar.
Not only were many of their officers and soldiers killed or injured in the explosion.
More importantly, this shelling destroyed important weapons and facilities on their ships, such as radar, naval guns, and command rooms.
A fire broke out in a bad place on the hull.
Even if the mortar shell hits their ammunition depot and causes a chain explosion.
Then their battleship would be really finished.
"Why hasn't the steam turbine started yet?"
The Japanese colonel was also injured and was feeling very frustrated at the moment, so he roared in a low voice.
This Japanese colonel, who was so arrogant when he came, never thought that he would be humiliated like this in his life.
Finally, after more than ten minutes, the Japanese battleship Kirishima finally slowly reversed.
Finally it's moving again.
Two of their four steam turbines were completely unusable and had not yet been repaired.
But the other two were only slightly damaged, and if they were forced to start, they could still be used for the time being.
The Japanese battleship Kirishima began to move.
It became difficult for the mortar gunners on Ye Qingshan's side to fight.
"Okay, stop the shelling."
Seeing this, Ye Qingshan ordered to stop the shelling.
They wanted to sink this Japanese battleship with a displacement of more than 82 tons by relying solely on the bombardment of these mm mortars.
Obviously it is impossible.
"It's great, sir, it's really great.
When will it be my turn to take action? "
Wang Dachuan shouted excitedly beside him.
Ye Qingshan looked at him with a smile and said, "It's almost done, now go back to your camp's blocking position.
If my guess is correct, the devils from the 13th Division will soon rush to the riverside from the direction of Mufu Mountain.
To rescue their fleet.
When the time comes, it will be your battalion's turn to perform.
Fight hard for me and don’t let the reinforcements from the 13th Division of the Japanese invaders reach the riverside.”
"Ah, there is such a good thing?
Yes, sir.
I will fight hard and never let the devils get close to the river."
Wang Dachuan excitedly returned to his camp's blocking position.
