Chapter 139 Burning Bar

When the Japanese soldiers around him saw the huge fire ball that suddenly burned on the rock, they were shocked. Their roars stopped and looked at the Japanese soldiers who had been burned to coke on the rock.

Then one by one, one incendiary bombs fell from the sky, falling into the Japanese position like a meteor shower. Huge fireballs burst out from all over the Japanese position, and fires burned everywhere in the entire mountain. The Japanese camps and bunkers and bunkers began to burn in the bunkers. Countless screams of Japanese soldiers like pigs rang out everywhere, and a large area of ​​Japanese positions suddenly fell into panic.

A Japanese soldier ran out of the bunker in the trench with flames, then screamed and fell to the ground and rolled a few times, then died of anger and soon turned into a dark charcoal.

Several other Japanese soldiers who had no time to run out were burned and screamed in the cover and were quickly killed.

"Master, run, it's on fire." A non-commissioned officer shouted anxiously to the timid major who was just mocking the Zhenguo Army. The bunker where they were located had been hit by a burning bomb. A ball of flames burned at the entrance of the bunker. The hot air waves suddenly invaded into the bunker. The temperature in the bunker suddenly increased by fifty or sixty degrees from more than ten degrees.

"Run quickly" The fat and strong master had some difficulty moving his body. As soon as he ran to the entrance, he was tripped by a fallen soldier and fell to the ground. The flames began to pounce on him, and then it burned everywhere in his body, with the smell of burning everywhere.

"Oh my god, it hurts so much." The master was on fire. The most tragic thing was that his crotch was also burning. He screamed and crawled out of the entrance, and then began to roll wildly toward the ground outside, trying to extinguish the fire, but found it useless. The chemical burning agent mixed in the flames made the fire not so easy to be extinguished.

"Master"

Seeing this, several Japanese soldiers running outside rushed over and began to pick up branches on the ground and take off their military uniforms and whipped the Major's body. After a few minutes, the fire gradually extinguished. When he turned the Major's back to their bodies, he looked at them, he was stunned. His face had been burned on a large scale, and his face was beyond recognition. He smelled meat like a roasted chicken. A big hole was burned through the crotch below. A Japanese soldier lowered his head and opened the hole with his hand and looked at it. After searching for a long time, he could not find the Major's thing. At this time, there was only a ball of black coke as big as a quail egg, and he was stunned.

There were dozens of places in the mountains that were harsh with fire, and balls of smoke rose from the forest, and there were Japanese soldiers running around everywhere. Many of them were covered in black and black. Some were burned out of recognition, but they were still running wildly and running towards the open space.

The injured major was rushed to the battlefield hospital, but the doctor later proved that he was seriously burned 60% of his body, especially the genitals, which were severely burned, leaving only a small piece of thing less than 0.2 inches, and he had become a eunuch.

After clearing the position dejectedly, the Japanese army found that the brigade had more than 20 soldiers burned to death and more than 50 people were burned, but they had no strength to fight back.

Therefore, the three Japanese divisions immediately held emergency meetings to discuss tactics against the Zhenguo Army's airdrop of incendiary bombs. Then they urgently carried out fire extinguishing training projects and organized soldiers to exercises to extinguish fires from each other. There were many ways to use fire extinguishing methods that could be thought of. Some Japanese invented the earth covering method. They piled up a pile of soil around the position. If someone caught fire, they immediately drilled into the mound, or others helped to cover it with soil. This trick played a major role in the exercise, but such mounds could not be found in many places, which was not convenient to promote. There were also some methods such as water flooding, bedding covering method and other methods.

Although the Japanese army made a lot of preparations, they still felt extremely afraid of the Zhenguo Army's incendiary bombs. The soldiers did not dare to hide in a relatively closed bunker for a while to prevent the Zhenguo Army from attacking. They had to strengthen the role of the post. Once they discovered the Zhenguo Army's ground troops, the soldiers entered the bunker to prepare for battle. They usually stayed outside to facilitate timely escape from the fire point.

"Bageyalu, the Chinese people actually launched the attack first. We must give them some color to see."

Officials from the Japanese military headquarters were furious about the attack and immediately ordered the navy to speed up its advance towards Shanghai, ordering them to wipe out the navy of Zhenguo Army, and then bombard Shanghai to strike the military and production bases of Zhenguo Army in Shanghai, and to shoot shells until there were no more shots left.

"Where have the Japanese?" Navy Commander Sa Zhenbing inspected the barracks of two submarine troops at the Zhoushan Port Naval Base in Ningbo. He was having a discussion with the submarine commander. This time he had ordered the two submarines to rush to the East China Sea with the fleet to intercept the Japanese ships.

"Judging from the time they set off, it is estimated that the Japanese fleet has arrived 300 nautical miles east of Shanghai, and will reach 50 nautical miles outside of Shanghai tomorrow morning." An officer in charge of intelligence was accompanied by arriving. He had learned through the intelligence network that the Japanese Third Fleet departed from Japan and estimated their approximate location at this time.

"Our army's ships are insufficient in number and low in combat power. Most of them are old-style warships. Large-caliber artillery cannot match the Japanese Third Fleet, so we, the old foundation of the Qing Dynasty, cannot fight with the Japanese." Sa Zhenbing glanced at several commanders at all levels around and said solemnly.

"Xuanwei, we have to rely on these two submarines you command this time. You must show the momentum and majesty of the National Army and give the Japanese invaders a head-on attack." Sa Zhenbing then stopped at Hao Xuanwei, who was sitting in the first seat on his left hand, and looked at the captain of the No. 010 submarine with a meaningful gaze.

"Comrade Sa, please rest assured. We will definitely let the Japanese come and go this time, let them see the might of our navy." Hao Xuanwei gradually clenched his fists with both hands, and hatred for the Japanese invasion of China suddenly burst out, and he said gritting his teeth.

"Our navy's overall strength is not as strong as that of Japan. If we can deter the Japanese navy this time, it will be the greatest victory. However, this battle will definitely expose our old circumstances. Once they know the secret of our two submarines, they will no longer carelessly underestimate the enemy. There are also several small submarines in Japan that have been equipped with troops. The Japanese can expand the scale of the submarine force at any time to deal with our submarines, so we must not let our opponents know our true strength. After this battle, we still need to do some articles through the media and exaggerate them."

Although two submarines assisted, Sa Zhenbing's face remained a little gloomy, because he knew that since the two sides started a war, it would definitely not be the end of this naval battle, and there would be many battles in the future. Once the Japanese understand the configuration and combat power of the Zhenguo Army submarine, they will definitely formulate corresponding tactics. Therefore, he was worried that relying on these two submarines would not be a long-term solution, and he still had some hidden worries.

It is around 2:00 pm. Just as Sa Zhenbing returned from the submarine base to the Ningbo Command of the Dongqian Lake Navy, he issued a combat order and sent a mixed fleet of more than thirty ships. He personally led his troops out of the East China Sea to meet the enemy, two Japanese gunboats stationed in Shanghai were operating after receiving the order, preparing to cooperate with the Japanese fleet to launch a sneak attack on the Zhenguo Navy.

However, before these two 500-ton gunboats left the port, they had seen ten cruisers and destroyers including the Hairong and Jianwei appear near the estuary of the Yangtze River in the Huangpu River and surrounded two Japanese gunboats. After the Japanese ship discovered the flagship Hairong, they immediately sounded the alarm to meet the enemy. However, this seemed to be just an extra move, because these two small gunboats had far less caliber and range for cruisers and destroyers. Under the volley of artillery fire of ten large ships, the two gunboats that had just left the port and attempted to escape to the East China Sea were quickly sunk. The whole process took only a few minutes. Most of the Japanese naval soldiers on the ship were killed, and a small part was swam to the shore on the river. However, they were later found that their base was occupied by Zhenguo soldiers, and dozens of Japanese soldiers were all captured.

Almost at the same time, a regiment stationed in Shanghai, with about 2,000 troops quickly surrounded and seized the Japanese concession in Shanghai. Japan had a large number of people in the East and North Districts of the Public Concessions, and these two areas were first occupied.

Japan organized a Boxer Regiment in Shanghai at that time, with about 500 soldiers distributed in Hongkou area. The number of Japanese expatriates in Shanghai had exceeded that of other countries at this time. This so-called Boxer Regiment was actually a self-defense militia organization and its combat effectiveness was not strong.

When the soldiers of Zhenguo Army surrounded the location of the Volunteer Regiment, the Japanese exerted their fearless Bushido spirit and refused to surrender. They shouted and shot at the streets outside. Zhenguo Army had evacuated the nearby people, and then used incendiary bombs and artillery to attack the Volunteer Regiment's base. They were beaten to ashes in just a few dozen minutes and almost wiped out the entire army.

When rumbling cannons came from the concession and around the Japanese Hongkou Consulate, the concessions of various countries immediately announced their vigilance and sent troops to conserve the entrances and exits of the concessions. However, when they learned that the Zhenguo Army and the soldiers of the Japanese concession were fighting, they announced that they remained neutral.

The Japanese consulate was soon captured by the Zhenguo army, and all the residences of Japanese expatriates in Shanghai were controlled to prevent the Japanese from engaging in military intelligence activities in Shanghai. They would kill the stubborn Japanese. The situation in Shanghai soon calmed down...
