Chapter 1283 Jiangyin Fortress
Of course, Huo Shouyi fought so hard for a deep purpose.
The longer this side persists, the better the defense of the capital defense forces can be arranged.
In addition, the Japanese troops attacking Jiangyin also have the combat mission of attacking Nanjing.
Therefore, the more Japanese killed in Jiangyin, the less defense pressure there will be on Nanjing.
It must be said that there are more traitors participating in the battle with the Japanese.
In fact, it is precisely because of the participation of these traitors that the Chinese troops are so passive.
Although the combat effectiveness of the traitors is very poor, they are too despicable.
In other words, the consequences caused by the traitors are not ordinary serious.
For example, the Chinese naval ships, fortress guns and other key military targets anchored in Jiangyin have been harmed by the traitors.
Of course, this harm is not direct, but indirect.
The Battle of Jiangyin was a rare integrated sea, land and air battle during the outbreak of the full-scale war of resistance.
Not only the Chinese Air Force, but also the air force of the island country, participated a lot.
It must be mentioned that one of China's air combat heroes, Liu Cuigang, became famous in the Battle of Jiangyin.
The harm caused by the traitors to these military targets in China came from their guidance of the devils.
Specifically, at night, the traitors would try to sneak into the vicinity of these military strongholds.
Then, the traitors would set off fires to give hints to the devil's army artillery, naval guns, and even aviation.
On the other hand, after receiving the guidance of the traitors, the devil's heavy weapons would start precise bombing with a targeted purpose.
Naturally, the effect of this bombing was not ordinary.
In fact, the traitors not only guided the devil's heavy weapons, but also participated in the battle to attack the fortress.
Therefore, facing the joint attack of the devils and the traitors, the Chinese troops defending the fortress were very passive.
However, in order to support the defense of the capital, the soldiers still worked together and gave full play to their fearless spirit.
Unfortunately, although the defensive forces were fearless and died, the situation became more and more bad.
Most of the artillery batteries can still fight, that is, they frequently fire shells at the devils and traitors.
However, many of the army's defense lines have been broken through by the devils and traitors one after another.
In a word, the situation is precarious!
Specifically, once more defense lines are broken through, not only will the various fortresses in Jiangyin fall into the hands of the devils, but even tens of thousands of Chinese army will be surrounded by the devils.
In this way, so many Chinese soldiers will definitely die at the hands of the devils and traitors.
Thinking of these situations, Ye Tian was really anxious.
For this reason, soon after saying goodbye to Yang Sen and others, Ye Tian made a thought when he confirmed that they could not see him.
In an instant, more than 400 dead soldiers who were marching densely were once again recovered by Ye Tian into the underworld area of the storage space.
Now, as a fifth-level war god, Ye Tian can reach 30 meters when recovering items in the storage space and putting them into the outside world.
In other words, everything within 30 meters of him, as long as it is not very large, Ye Tian can retract and release it freely.
In fact, according to Ye Tian's previous order, the dead soldiers started to work as soon as they returned to the underworld area of the storage space.
After recovering the dead soldiers, Ye Tian summoned the giant wild boar again.
Then, relying on his excellent night vision, Ye Tian rushed to Jiangyin with all his might.
At the same time, Ye Tian quickly used his brain to try to recall some of the situations he knew before crossing.
Today, the five warships of the island country approached Jiangyin.
At the same time, the devils and traitors were getting closer and closer to Jiangyin.
On November 28, the 114th Division of the 10th Army of the island country captured Yixing.
Today, the 18th Division of the island country captured Guangde.
In addition, the 114th Division is still desperately attacking Liyang.
If nothing unexpected happens, this small city will be occupied by the 114th Division soon.
On the Chinese side, the defending infantry desperately blocked the devils and traitors.
Of course, each artillery fired shells at all costs.
Although these artillery have made many military achievements, there have also been many things that make people sigh.
Under the despicable operation of the traitors, many artillery were blown down by the devils.
In fact, because some artillery buildings were not very solid, the gun seats collapsed before the devils bombed them.
That's not all. Because the shells were fired too densely and the barrels were too hot, some fortress guns also had barrel explosion accidents!
The key point is that the communication facilities of several fortresses have been destroyed.
Although the situation is very passive, both the fortress troops and the Chinese Army troops outside the fortress are still desperately holding on.
However, the Chinese Supreme Command is still well aware of everything here.
In fact, Jiangyin is located on the national defense line outside Nanjing.
If nothing unexpected happens, Jiangyin will become an isolated city in a short time, perhaps within a day.
For this reason, whether to order the participating units to give up resistance and try to break through, the Chinese Supreme Command has been undecided.
Many generals said that Jiangyin could no longer be defended.
For the sake of the overall situation, in order to preserve the manpower and better defend the capital, it was time to order a breakout.
What no one knew was that the Japanese had such an obvious advantage, but in order to capture Jiangyin as soon as possible and then turn to attack Nanjing, they once again launched a big move.
The original fleet commander Tanimoto was forced to accept the outcome of dismissal because he was unable to capture the Jiangyin fortress due to the loss of troops and generals in the artillery fire of the Chinese fortress.
The new commander was replaced by Major General Teng Yingjiro.
Under the command of Teng Yingjiro, the 11th Fleet of the island country quickly expanded its forces and made a comeback!
It took a long time for the Chinese Supreme Command to learn of this information.
It was anticipated that if the troops were not allowed to break through, the whole army would be annihilated. There was no way, the Chinese Supreme Command had to reluctantly issue a retreat and breakout order.
The Chinese Supreme Command telegraphed Liu Xing, the commander in charge of the Jiangyin naval battle, to implement it as soon as possible.
After receiving the retreat and breakout order, Liu Xing immediately summoned senior generals to discuss how to break through.
Soon, a thorough retreat plan was discussed by them.
First, the artillery of each fortress continued to bombard the approaching devils and traitors to cover the army's breakout.
Second, at 12:00 a.m. on December 1, all fortresses were destroyed, and then they quickly retreated to Zhenjiang.
Third, all army units quickly retreated along the designated routes.
In fact, while the Jiangfang Command was arranging the retreat plan, even in the middle of the night, intensive battles were still going on everywhere.
Reinforcements are like putting out a fire!
Concerned about the safety of the Chinese breakout troops, and thinking about killing as many devils and traitors as possible, Ye Tian was really anxious.
