Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal

Major General Yan Ze's heart was finally hanging. Those damn army idiots were still unwilling to use their rusty brains and fell into the enemy's trap!

Those four guns were still firing at them like mad dogs. Although the 105mm guns did not pose much threat to the battleship, it would still be heartbreaking if they hit some precious electronic equipment on the bridge, especially the aiming equipment.

This matter is hard to stop thinking about. As Rear Admiral Shiozawa was thinking about this, a shell hit the island of the Izumo.

After a loud bang, the power lines of some equipment on the island were cut off and the bridge was also affected. A lot of thick glass was shattered and some glass flew around, injuring several officers.

Major General Yanze was startled and was thrown to the ground by his adjutant. After a while, the adjutant helped him up and asked nervously: "General, what should we do? Are we going to be beaten like this?"

Major General Yanze looked at his adjutant's expression, which was full of hatred.

The adjutant participated in the whole process and knew that someone was instigating discord. Even so, he hated the army. What about the army who didn't know the whole story? Wouldn't he be even more furious?

He sighed in his heart and ordered his adjutant: "Notify all warships not to fight back and immediately withdraw to the open sea. If anyone fights back, I will send him to a military court for treason!"

His tone was quite stern, and the adjutant went to carry out his orders, but the hatred in his heart could not be faked.

A few minutes later, more than 30 ships floating on the sea fled to the open sea in shame. The warships turned very slowly. During this process, the four guns on the shore were still chasing them, blasting holes in their hulls.

As soon as the Japanese warships moved away, the four guns stopped firing because they had no more shells.

These four cannons certainly belong to the Punishment Army. Li Qinwu opened a portal to send them to the shore with the purpose of provoking conflicts between the Japanese navy and the army. However, he did not expect that the navy idiots were so good at being ninjas and did not fight back even when being bullied by the army.

Now Li Qinwu has completely run out of 105mm shells, not even a single one left. Li Qinwu asked several soldiers to pull the guns into the island space. No matter whether the navy fires or not, the gap between the navy and the army has been completely opened!

This was not the end. The destroyer Kikuzuki continued to move north along the river. Along the way, it saw many large and small transport ships passing by on the river. They were all Japanese ships and were all destroyed by their naval guns.

The Japanese army was also completely panicked. They only had transport ships and no weapons when they arrived at Songhu. The destroyer Kikuzuki killed them as easily as killing a dog!

Now the Kikuzuki has rushed to the vicinity of Fuqiao Town, where a large transport ship and several small transport ships are parked on the river. They have all dropped anchor and are lowering transport speedboats to transport the Japanese on the ships ashore.

At this time, the army received a warning from the navy that a ship was killing people like crazy. The army used the fastest means to contact the ships on the river and told them to run away!

But information was not flowing smoothly in that era, and the information they sent from the rear was not as fast as the Kikuzuki. Now the Kikuzuki was almost right in front of them, and that large transport ship had not even weighed anchor, so it was a complete target.

The captain of the Japanese transport ship put down the radio receiver, listened to the distorted navy song, looked at the Kikuzuki destroyer in the distance, and was instantly horrified.

He let out a heart-wrenching roar.

"Weigh anchor immediately! Heat the boiler to full power, let's run!"

His shouting spread throughout the transport ship through the loudspeaker, which panicked the Japanese soldiers inside the ship. Not knowing what was happening, they began to walk around and ask questions, which further slowed down the crew's reaction.

Li Ruinian saw the transport ship standing still in the distance, and he knew at a glance that the ship had dropped anchor. It would take time to collect the anchor, and this kind of ocean-going transport ship needs a long process to accelerate from a standstill, so it would take more than 10 minutes for it to leave.

Looking at the densely packed Japanese soldiers on the deck of the transport ship, Li Ruinian smiled and ordered an officer beside him: "Torpedoes, fire two salvos."

With two bangs, two torpedoes were fired from the launch tubes. After entering the water, they drew a straight line underwater and headed towards the transport ship.

Before, Li Ruinian had only heard Captain Joel talk about the use and launching process of torpedoes. Now that he had the opportunity for actual combat, he naturally had to fire two to gain experience.

The two torpedoes left two very obvious tracks as they moved underwater. Several Japanese sailors on the transport ship Cambridge were in chaos. They all shouted the captain's name, hoping that he could do something.

The old Japanese captain threw his military cap aside, slumped in his chair, lit a cigarette for himself, and looked at the ceiling, wondering what he was thinking.

When the other crew members saw his bad look, they knew something was wrong and ran out of the bridge like crazy, trying to fight for the lifeboat. However, the deck was so crowded with Japanese soldiers that they couldn't even get out of the bridge.

The Japanese soldiers on the bridge watched the two torpedo tracks coming towards them quickly, and they screamed in fear. They had all received a complete military education and knew that those were torpedoes, each carrying at least four to five hundred kilograms of explosives. Once hit by one of them, any ship, no matter how big, would sink!

Because they were too scared, many Japanese chose to jump off the boat, but the Japanese army was easily soluble in water and disappeared as soon as they jumped into the river.

More Japanese soldiers did not dare to jump into the river and could only kneel on the deck and pray that the torpedo would miss the target.

But maybe God couldn't stand these invaders, because it was very strange that Li Ruinian, a man who didn't even know the principles of torpedoes, fired two torpedoes for the first time and hit the middle of the transport ship exactly!

Two earth-shattering explosions were heard, and this large transport ship with ocean-going capabilities and a displacement of 7000 tons was blown into two sections from the middle!

The huge explosion threw river water, steel, and a bunch of unknown debris into the air hundreds of meters high. The entire transport ship was like being kicked hard by a giant. The hull bounced twice onto the sea. When it fell down, it had completely turned into a pool of metal scraps floating on the sea!

Li Ruinian and the other marines of the Punishment Army felt tinnitus in their ears. They grimaced and looked at the huge water column rising up, feeling the power of this thing! An ocean-going transport ship with a displacement of nearly 10,000 tons was killed instantly by two torpedoes!

It took Li Ruinian a while to come back to his senses. He loudly ordered the other officers: "Don't just stand there, the main guns will immediately fire at the enemy landing area, and the heavy guns will search for small ships and sink them!!"

Everyone on the Kikuzuki destroyer immediately came to their senses, and two heavy machine guns began firing at nearby small ships, killing the Japanese soldiers inside on the river.

The four main guns raised their muzzles high and fired at Fuqiao Town. Now Fuqiao Town was full of Japanese soldiers and supplies shipped from transport ships. This round of artillery fire brought a devastating disaster to these Japanese soldiers.
