The four 300mm caliber fortress cannons equipped on the Zhangjiagang River Defense Fortress look very huge. Each cannon weighs nearly 30 tons, the barrel is 12 meters long, and the rotating turret has an angle of from -5 to +25 degrees. The maximum range is 25 kilometers, which can completely cover the entire Yangtze River surface in front.

In front of the Jiangfang Fortress, several observation points had already observed this small Japanese fleet on the far river surface. When they saw the plaster flag on the ship, the soldiers in charge of the observation immediately reported the situation.

Seeing the situation reported from the front, Wang Yue, the commander of the Jiangfang Fortress, made a quick decision and immediately issued a shelling order to destroy these ships of the Japanese. Suddenly, a cannon on the entire fortress position began to prepare, especially the four huge fortress cannons.

The thick gun barrel looked very ferocious and full of deterrence. In the huge bunker, the soldiers were busy adjusting the shelling parameters based on the data of the positioning rangefinder. Huge shells began to load, and the thick gun barrels began to obliquely faced the river several kilometers away.

In addition to the fortress cannons, the other six 203mm cannons were not idle, and they also began to prepare for artillery, preparing to shell the small Japanese fleet that was slowly sailing over the river.

"Everything is ready, you can fire, please instruct!!!"

In the command room of the Jiangfang Fortress, a report came clearly. When Wang Yue heard the ready report, he was full of energy and picked up the microphone and said loudly: "Fire the cannon!"

When the order was issued, suddenly, loud noises came from the entire position, as if the entire earth was shaking, and the solid cement bunker and the solid reinforced concrete fortifications were trembling, which shows how powerful these cannons are.

Just firing the fire and the movement is amazing!

"Boom, boom, boom..."

With loud noises, artillery shells whizzed out and headed straight for the target on the river several kilometers away. When the cannon was fired here, the little Japanese on the river seemed to be unconscious. The sound had not yet arrived, and it took several kilometers to reach even the sound for a while.

The huge transport ship was upstream, with a tonnage of at least four or five thousand tons. Judging from the difficulty of sailing, it must have been loaded with a lot of supplies. On the deck of the bow, there were several Japanese officers standing. This was not a warship, but the ones escorted were actually Japanese soldiers.

A Japanese Nakasa stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the river, as if enjoying the scenery on both sides of the Yangtze River. Behind this Nakasa, there were three or four Japanese and low-level officers.

"Your Excellency Zhongzuo, this area is temporarily owned by Zhangjiagang, and further forward is Jiangyin. We are not far from our destination Nanjing."

"Yo Xi! Thank you all for your hard work this time."

After receiving praise from the Japanese Zhongzuo, the Japanese officers next to them were slightly happy. One of the Japanese lieutenants changed slightly after being happy. They said with a little angrily: "Your Excellency Zhongzuo, you are all the damn 6th Army. Our supplies must be transported to Nanjing by Jiangyun, which is getting more and more troublesome."

Upon hearing this, the Japanese Zhongzuo also frowned. In the past, the supplies from the Central China Front Army of Japan were usually transported to Shanghai by sea, and then directly encountered various places through railways or highways, such as Nanjing, Wuhan, Nanchang, etc.

After the newly formed 6th Army recovered Zhangjiagang, Suzhou and Wuxi, the railway and highway passage were cut off. The supplies, weapons and ammunition supplies of the small Japanese Central China Front Army could only be transported from Shanghai to Nanjing and other places through the Yangtze River.

However, the Yangtze River waterway will be cut off from now on. From now on, Japan will consider taking other ways to transport its own supplies.

Just as these little Japanese were talking at the bow of the ship, suddenly, a sharp whistling sound came from the sky, and suddenly, the faces of these little Japanese changed.

"Baga! Where are you firing?" The Japanese Zhongzuo shouted first.

The other Japanese officers, including many Japanese on the ship, looked in the direction where the sound came, and many Japanese Japanese looked a little pale.

These Japanese devils are also soldiers. Judging from the terrifying whistling sound, they should be giant cannons, and there is far more than one. These Japanese devils can't figure it out. Could it be that there is a group of heavy artillery from the newly formed 6th Army here?

A Japanese officer was in a hurry, holding a telescope with an anxious look on his face and searched in the direction of the sound, trying to find a group of heavy artillery on the bank of the river, but was obviously disappointed.

The Japanese Nakazo did not pick up his telescope, because, from experience, the caliber of these cannons is absolutely amazing, not like a group of heavy cannons, but like a movement that only fortress cannons cannons cannons cannons cannons cannons.

Fortress Cannon!!!

Thinking of this terrifying weapon, the Japanese Nakazuo turned pale and thought sadly, his transport ship was just an ordinary ship, not a solid battleship. Can you use fortress cannons to deal with him?

The Japanese Zhongzuo was filled with sadness, his face was pale, motionless, looking at the sky.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The loud noises were shocking the earth. Many shells hit the river surface and exploded water columns dozens of meters high. Their power was very terrifying. These shells had a minimum caliber of 203 mm.

Most of the shells did not hit the target, but there were still two or three shells successfully hit the target, one of which was a 300mm caliber shell directly hit the large transport ship that the Japanese Nakazo was riding, and directly hit the side of the ship.

The loud "Boom!" was very powerful, and the huge power of the explosion knocked many Japanese devils on the deck away. The Japanese standing at the bow of the ship were not spared. They were shocked by the powerful power and bleeding from their seven orifices. They threw them more than ten meters away, flew high and fell far away on the river.

The other Japanese devils next to the Japanese, including those Japanese officers, were in similar condition. They were all shocked and flew away in scattered distances, thrown hard on the river.

The transport ship was almost blown off, and a large hole of more than ten meters was blown out on the side. The thin hull did not stop the huge shell at all. The shell passed through the paper-like hull and drilled directly into the hull and exploded, fully reflecting the power of the explosion.

The steamer was covered in a mess, and a raging fire ignited. Soon, thick black smoke rose, and the power of the explosion almost lifted up most of the decks, which was also a terrifying and shocking hole on the deck.

With just one shot, the transport ship with a displacement of 4 or 5,000 tons will be scrapped. However, it seems that even more terrifying is still there.

After being hit by this huge shell, the terrifying explosion was only ten seconds after the raging fire had just started to burn, and the black smoke rolled up. The Japanese on the ship who were lucky enough to be killed by the bomb almost had time to jump into the ship to escape. The more terrifying explosion was remembered again.

The ship was loaded with ammunition and was originally transported to Nanjing. The ship was filled with boxes of bullets, grenades, explosives, and a large number of shells of various small and medium caliber. So much ammunition quickly exploded.

"boom!!!"

It was like an earthquake, the river surface was shaking, the entire ship was completely disintegrated, and it was blown up and then slowly sank into the bottom of the river.

In addition to the 300mm caliber fortress shell that destroyed the large transport ship with one shot, two 203mm shells hit the other two ships respectively. The two ships were immediately severely damaged and were almost on the verge of scrapping.

This small Japanese transport fleet has a total of seven transport ships of all sizes, and there is also a small gunboat. The Japanese on the other ships were completely stunned and stared at the large transport ship that was blown to pieces.

On the small gunboat, a second Japanese lieutenant looked at the scene in disbelief. He stayed for several seconds before shouting in horror: "Hurry, send a report to Nanjing, hurry up!"

After shouting, the Japanese lieutenant personally got into the cabin and ordered the Japanese who drove the ship to increase their horsepower to the maximum and flee hard.

The remaining transport ships had a small tonnage, generally in the scale of one or two thousand tons. The remaining four transport ships are still intact. Suddenly, these Japanese men increased their horsepower and fled hard.

The Japanese didn't know that a few kilometers away from the river bank was the Jiangfang Fortress, which was not small in size in the newly formed 6th Army. How could they escape?

Less than a minute later, the Japanese fleet did not run far away, and fierce shelling came again. Although most of the shells were still empty, several shells still hit the target.

A 300mm fortress cannon shell actually hit the Japanese's small gunboat. With a loud "boom", the small gunboat was only a few hundred tons of water displaced, and it was blown up to pieces.

Two other transport ships were destroyed. After several rounds of artillery fire, the soldiers stopped firing, and the soldiers at the observation point sent back news, and all the targets had been destroyed.

On the vast river surface, several small Japanese transport ships were slowly sinking, and one even sank only a little stern left.

There was another ship with thick smoke, and its hull was seriously tilted, almost exposed to the bottom of the ship. It would not take long to turn the bottom to the sky. There was even a ship's bow raised high, with thick smoke rolling.

After the shelling was over, Wang Yue took the telescope and walked to an observation point ahead to see the results of his shelling. Seeing that all the Japanese ships on the river in the distance were destroyed, he waved his arms excitedly and shouted loudly.

"Send a message to the military captain, our Zhangjiagang River Defense Fortress will win the first battle!"

When a radio wave arrived at the newly-edition 6th Army Command, everyone was very happy. Ye Feng was also happy. From then on, the Yangtze River waterway was no longer an exclusive transportation channel for Japan. In addition, looking at the increased merit value in the system, Ye Feng was naturally full of joy.
