Beiyang reactionaries

"Yes."

Tanaka was helpless.

He could only accept the order, turn around and prepare to leave the command room.

"boom--"

"Boom-boom-boom-"

Just as Tanakano was about to leave the office, there was a sudden burst of violent gunfire, which made Tanakano stunned.Tanakano immediately turned around to look at Nomura Masao, and found that Nomura Masao's face also changed drastically.

Masao Nomura looked down on the Chinese army and was an arrogant Japanese soldier.

But his military literacy is still very high.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have climbed to the position of Colonel at a young age, and he was already a senior officer in the Japanese army.As soon as the gunfire sounded, Masao Nomura had already guessed what was going on.

Because he is very familiar with the sound of the Japanese army's artillery.

But the gunfire just now was definitely not the gunfire on the Japanese warship.Moreover, the sound of the artillery was so dense that it looked like a dedicated artillery unit.

"Boom boom-"

"Boom boom boom——"

There were cannons and explosions in front, and after about half a minute, all kinds of intensive cannons came again.Nomura Masao opened his eyes wide in an instant, and said: "This is the artillery of the Chinese army, at least one artillery regiment. No, all the artillery of the Chinese army has participated in the battle. Go, go out and have a look."

It is not very difficult for professional soldiers to distinguish the sound of artillery.

Especially for someone like Masao Nomura.He has already judged from the sound of the artillery that this is a cannon of the Chinese army, and there are many artillery units involved.

So he hurried out.

Wanted to see where it was fired.

When Nomura Masao came out, almost all the Japanese soldiers on the pier gathered.It has been many years since I have seen such a scene of artillery firing.

Of course, the artillery positions are not visible here at the pier.

Everyone just looked in the direction of the gunfire.Masao Nomura heard the sound of the cannons outside, and said with a grim expression: "The Chinese army is so courageous, they even used heavy artillery. Our intelligence said that the 21st Army is a direct line of Duan Xun, with very good equipment. To think they have so many heavy guns."

"Nomura-kun, this is the Chinese artillery bombarding our warship."

Tanaka is also a demobilized soldier.

Hearing the sound of the guns, it is possible to judge the location of the artillery shelling and the approximate location of the attack.That place is where the Japanese warships are.Therefore, he said anxiously: "Mr. Nomura, listen to the sound of the artillery. The Chinese artillery unit participating in the bombardment has at least [-] to [-] cannons, no, there should be more than [-] cannons. Our four warships are definitely not opponents."

The Japanese warships sailing on the Yangtze River are very different from the Japanese warships sailing on the sea.

No matter in terms of tonnage or firepower, they are far inferior to those naval warships sailing at sea.But nothing has happened all the time. After all, apart from a few British, French and American warships on the Yangtze River, the rest is China's so-called Yangtze River Fleet.The tonnage of China's Yangtze River Fleet is even smaller, and its firepower is even worse.

China's Yangtze River Fleet mainly targets pirates along the Yangtze River, as well as some drug smuggling ships.It wasn't built for war.

Therefore, the Japanese army with more than a dozen warships is absolutely rampant on the Yangtze River.

But compared with the heavy artillery of the army, it is really a lot worse.Especially when these army heavy artillery are not one or two, but dozens of heavy artillery, they are far at a disadvantage.

"I know. Order, let everyone get ready for me. The Chinese army is bullying people too much, and we will go straight to Anqing."

"Nomura-kun, don't be impulsive."

Tanaka was taken aback.

Masao Nomura was immediately persuaded.Since the Chinese army dared to bombard Japanese warships, it must have thought everything through.There are only a few hundred people here, do you really want to occupy Anqing?

"open."

Masao Nomura shook off Tanakano, and then said: "Come here, come here. Reorganize the troops for me immediately, and follow me out."

Masao Nomura really couldn't believe it.

Your Chinese army really dares to go to war with Japan.

The quality of the Japanese army is still good. In just a few minutes, everyone came out of shock and was already fully armed and waiting for orders.Masao Nomura waved his hand and led the troops to support the warship.

Looking at Masao Nomura's impulsiveness from behind, Tanaka couldn't help stamping his feet.

The ability to lead troops to fight, Masao Nomura is really good, and his professional grades are very good.Moreover, his personality is also very popular with the high-level military department, but Tanakano does not like this kind of impulsiveness very much.

But he can't stay here.

So it can only be followed.

"Boom boom-"

"Da da da--"

It is a pity that Tanakano followed Masao Nomura and was attacked by intensive mortars before he left the pier for 500 meters.Then came the sound of heavy machine guns.

"Damn, really damn. The Chinese army is going to war with our empire."

Masao Nomura was stunned.

But soon Masao Nomura spat out, looked at Tanaka who was crawling over, and expressed his opinion.Tanaka smiled wryly, you idiot, you only know now.

The moment the Chinese army decided to fire, it already ignored Japan.Looking at the current situation, the Chinese army has long been prepared for the Japanese troops on the dock.

"Nomura-san, let's go back. There are no bunkers here, and we are completely targeted by the Chinese army. Go back to the pier, where we have complete fortifications and can be dragged."

Masao Nomura looked around and saw that the situation was indeed not going well.

There are no bunkers.

It was swept away by mortars and heavy machine guns of the Chinese army, causing heavy casualties.If it continues, the situation will become more and more unfavorable.Nomura Masao turned his head and said to Tanaka: "Tanaka-kun, you take half of the people back. I'm here to help you cover."

"Nomura-kun?"

"Listen to me. The soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire are all warriors, and it is an honor to die on the battlefield. Mr. Tanaka, after you go back, immediately send a telegram to Beijing to tell the situation here. Let them quickly contact the Empire."

"it is good."

Tanakano grabbed the juniors who usually had a bad relationship with him.

"Take care of yourself."
