Nakamura Ichigi heard the sound and asked, "What's going on? There are Chinese civilians in this nearby fishing village?"

Tsuda Tatsuhiko hurriedly explained: "Sir, this is the case. In order to prevent the leak of information, when we arrived here, we deliberately concentrated all the hundreds of civilians in the nearby fishing village and controlled them."

After a pause, Tsuda Tatsuhiko asked again: "Sir, do you see, have you released these Chinese civilians or?"

Under the moonlight, a trace of sinister flashed in Kazuki Nakamura's eyes, and he said coldly: "Tsuda Jun, you have to know that this action is not only about the life and death of our 6,000 imperial imperial army, but also about the success or failure of the overall strategic situation!

No mistakes are allowed!

So, just in case, all accidents must be eliminated! Do you understand?"

Finally, Nakamura Ichiki raised his right hand again and made a move to wipe his neck.

"Hayi! I understand!" Tsuda Tatsuhiko gave up his head heavily, then turned his head and ordered the captain beside him, "Kill all these Chinese civilians, no one left!"

"Hayi!"

The Japanese captain quickly paused his head and took the order to leave.

Soon, the dense gunfire and the sound of bayonets squirting into the flesh kept ringing.

Among them, there are also continuous crying and begging for mercy.

However, nothing helps.

The Japanese did not put down their butcher's knife because of their begging for mercy, but instead showed even more ferocious fangs.

Hundreds of innocent people, from the age of eighty or ninety to the baby who were hungry in their cradles, were cruelly killed by these beast-like Japanese devils in less than 0 minutes, and none of them were spared.

At less than 2 o'clock in the evening, all the Japanese troops boarded the ships. Taking advantage of the night, the Japanese warships rushed up the Shuojiang River and headed towards Nanjing.

Because the 3rd Division and the 02nd Division launched a fierce attack on Zhenjiang City overnight, the defenses were all attracted.

Therefore, under the cover of night, Kazuki Nakamura's troops were able to successfully pass through the Zhenjiang waters and continue to touch Nanjing overnight.

...

At around 5 a.m. the next day, the sky was still gray.

More than 0 Japanese warships have already stepped up the river and arrived successfully in the Nanjing section of the Yangtze River.

Due to the sufficient water vapor on the Yangtze River surface, the temperature suddenly dropped in the early morning, and the water vapor in the air was cold, so thick fog formed on the river surface.

The visibility suddenly dropped to an extremely low distance.

Standing on the bow deck of Nakamura Ichiki looked at the thick fog in front of him, and a look of pride suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth. He couldn't help laughing excitedly: "Hahaha! That's great, it's such a helping Emperor!

With this heavy fog, we will definitely be able to catch the Chinese army in Nanjing off guard! The winning rate will be increased by at least 30%!"

Tatsuhiko Tsuda next to him nodded and said, "The chief is right! This time the Imperial Army can successfully capture Nanjing and wipe out the Chinese garrison army!"

Along the way, through conversations, Nakamura Ichiki, a military genius who returned from studying in Germany, showed his superb and advanced tactical theory and strategic vision.

While this benefited Tsuda Tatsuhiko, it also changed her impression of Nakamura Ichiki. From the beginning, she resisted and resented, she changed to her admiration and worship now.

Therefore, he had completely put down the dignity and face of the team leader and was willing to obey the command of Kazuki Nakamura from the bottom of his heart.

However, just as the Japanese raided troops were about to arrive at their landing location, a gunboat in front of them suddenly sent a warning message.

"What's the situation?" After receiving the message, Ichiki Nakamura immediately turned around and returned from the deck to the cabin to ask the captain.

"Report to the commander, the forefront gunboat said that a group of unknown ships were found in the front. It is speculated that it is very likely that the fishing boats used by the Chinese army to evacuate supplies and civilians!" The Japanese captain lowered his head slightly and replied.

Tsuda Tatsuhiko frowned and asked, "Chief Nakamura, what should we do now?"

Nakamura Kazuki did not rush to make a decision, but continued to ask the captain: "Chinese people, have you noticed us?"

The Japanese captain said: "We should have been discovered, because according to the reconnaissance gunboat report, the Chinese fleet had begun to flee upstream, or they had already fled near the dock!"

Nakamura Ichiki pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Since that's the case, then don't worry about them for the time being! Order the fleets to increase their horsepower immediately and head straight to the Shigaguan Pier, striving to quickly land before the Chinese people can react!"

"Hayi!" The captain bowed heavily and immediately conveyed the meaning of Ichiki Nakamura.

Anyway, the headquarters has fully appointed Kazuki Nakamura as the commander for this operation.

Regardless of the outcome, the responsibility lies with him. The Japanese captain only needs to execute it, and even the brain-wringing links are omitted.

More than 0 Japanese warships and the gunboat in front of them all drove at full speed and rushed towards the Xiaguan Pier.

The fleet that was discovered by the Japanese avant-garde gunboat just now was indeed a fishing boat used by Nanjing to transport the people.

After seeing Yang Jing's tactical theory and strategic vision, and with the orders from Wuhan, the commander of the garrison army, Tang Mengxiao, finally adopted Yang Jing's proposal.

We began to collect fishing boats and transport them to the people in the city 24 hours a day.

Due to insufficient ships, some people left the West Gate of Han, the West Gate of Shui, the Zhonghua Gate, etc. and evacuated westward along the south bank of the Yangtze River.

After discovering the Japanese gunboat, the ship workers and the soldiers who were escorting the ships were the first to think of escape.

Because they were riding on wooden fishing boats without armor protection and no weapons to fight back.

The Japanese gunboats are at least steel ships with a displacement of hundreds of tons. Not to mention fighting, even if they are hit, they can all be knocked to sink.

The strength of both the enemy and us is not above the same level of magnitude!

Therefore, of course, the instinctive reaction is to run away quickly.

However, no one expected that the Japanese came not only this gunboat, but a fleet, and the purpose was not them, but the entire Nanjing City.

In this way, more than 50 fishing boats rushed to flee across the Yangtze River and above Yanzijie.

When some of the soldiers escorted the boat to order the boatman to dock and plan to go back to report the situation.

The Japanese raid troops have arrived at Xiaguan Wharf.

With the order of commander Colonel Nakamura Ichiki, more than a dozen warships successively put down hundreds of rubber boats and several landing crafts, loading more than 6,000 elite Japanese troops at one time, and launched a landing battle to attack Shibuguan Pier under the heavy fog.

And after all the landing troops boarded the ship.

More than 0 Japanese warships lined up along the center of the Yangtze River, and all of the naval guns of various caliber aimed at Xiaguan Wharf and even Xiayimen, and suddenly opened fire.

Most of these Japanese warships are light cruisers with a displacement of about 5,000 tons, and the smallest one is also a gunboat with a displacement of several hundred tons.

The smallest ship gun is equipped with a diameter of over 100 mm, and the largest is more than 300 mm.

The size of its artillery can be said to be much stronger than a heavy artillery brigade of the Japanese army.

After all, the size of artillery between the Navy and the Army is not of the same level at all.

Because the terrain restricts the transportation of heavy artillery, even if you can build super-large caliber heavy artillery, how do you transport it?

If you cannot transport it, it is just a pile of iron lumps, and naturally you will not be able to threaten the enemy.

The Navy has no concerns about this at all.

"hurricane!"

"Hurricane Hurricane!"

In order to cover the landing of the offensive troops, the Japanese fleet opened fire as soon as they came up.

Large-caliber shells pulled the scorching tail flames, tearing the low altitude covered by thick fog, and smashing them down hard.

"boom!"

"Boom boom boom boom boom!"

Suddenly.

The entire Xiaguan Wharf and even Xiayimen were all shrouded by violent explosions. For a moment, the fires soared into the sky, the earth shook, as if the world was coming.

Many soldiers, who were busy all night, were commanding the evacuation of the people and were about to go back to rest, were swallowed by the sudden explosion without having time to hide.

The power of naval naval guns is extremely powerful and far from comparable to that of the army's heavy artillery, especially those naval guns with a caliber of more than 200. After one shot, they will disappear within a radius of dozens of meters.

The shell landing point will leave a shocking terrifying bomb crater with a diameter of more than several meters.

The absolute killing radius of this kind of shell exceeds 50 meters. The target at the landing point of the shell is not only dead, but also completely dead, but it will be bombarded so that there will be no slag left!

Any fortification made of bricks and stones seems so pale and powerless under the terrifying power of such large caliber naval guns.

Tang Mengxiao, Luo Youqing, Liu Tiefu and other senior officials of the garrison headquarters who had finally had a good sleep were all shocked to wake up from their sleep.

These men and women, without even wearing their military uniforms, immediately ran to the garrison headquarters in panic.

Luo Youqing took the lead in running back to the headquarters, and a staff officer on duty immediately met him.

Luo Youqing hurriedly asked: "What's wrong, what happened?"

"The shelling explosion seemed to be coming from the direction of Xiaguan Wharf!" The staff officer on duty was also very shocked and immediately lost his sleepiness.

In fact, what Luo Youqing most hopes to see is the Japanese air strikes, so that would be no need to worry about it.

However, there was no roar caused by enemy planes, and the Japanese aviation force would hardly perform bombing missions at night.

This only means that the situation is more serious.

Thinking of this, Luo Youqing immediately ran out of the headquarters, found a commanding height with a wide view, looking towards Xiaguan Pier, and saw that there was already a fire that soared into the sky. He suddenly felt something was wrong and shouted: "It's broken!"

Luo Youqing got down the commanding heights and hurried back to the headquarters, ordering the staff officer on duty: "Call now and ask about the direction of Yimen."

The staff officer responded and turned around quickly to call.

At this moment, the phone from the garrison headquarters suddenly rang rapidly.
