The remaining Japanese aircraft quickly moved up.

Return to an altitude above 1500 meters. Then head west.

Zhang Yong cursed secretly.

Went towards Jinling again.

They were indeed testing the strength of the fortress.

Once you discover that the fortress has powerful destructive capabilities, immediately turn around and go to Jinling.

The terrible thing is that the initiative is in the hands of the Japanese invaders, and they can go wherever they want. The Jiangyin Fortress has no way to effectively interfere.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The machine guns roared ineffectively.

But it's useless. It doesn't pose any threat at all.

"Stop shooting!"

"Stop shooting!"

Zhang Yong gave the order and the sound of cannons gradually stopped.

Many people ran out of the air-raid shelters and searched everywhere for the wreckage of the Japanese aircraft.

After the two large Japanese aircraft were destroyed, there was still a lot of debris that fell down. Especially the engines and the like, which generally would not be completely shattered.

"Commissioner!"

"Commissioner!"

Someone dragged the remains of the engine to claim credit.

Some people also found the bodies of Japanese invaders that were relatively intact and dragged them over for display.

Everyone is very excited.

I feel that the Japanese aircraft are actually not that scary.

As long as they dare to come, they may be shot down.

The fortress is safe.

No matter how many Japanese planes come, I won’t be afraid.

Some people even suggested holding a bonfire party tonight!

do what?

Of course it's a victory celebration.

Yesterday we shot down six, today we shot down four, that’s already ten.

For the majority of officers and soldiers, shooting down ten Japanese aircraft is already a very good achievement. It is definitely worth celebrating!

Zhang Yong was noncommittal.

Simply speaking, Jiangyin Fortress is indeed worthy of celebration.

It can greatly improve morale.

However, when I think of Jinling, I can't feel happy anymore.

At this moment, Jinling is being covered by a large group of Japanese aircraft, like locusts.

One can imagine what suffering the people in Jinling are suffering.

The Japanese invaders bombed indiscriminately, and the casualties can be imagined.

well……

"Report!"

A staff officer hurried over.

But it was Du Songyue who approached Zhang Yong.

"good."

Zhang Yong turned around and came to the fortress headquarters.

I found that Du Songyue looked solemn. The faces of others were also very serious.

"Something happened?"

"I just received a battle report. To the west of Taihu Lake, the Japanese vanguard has crossed Huzhou and Changxing and is about to reach Yixing and Liyang."

"So fast?"

Zhang Yong was a little surprised. Really.

The speed of the Japanese invaders' advance was too fast. It was so fast!

The news a few days ago was that the Japanese invaders had occupied Jiaxing. Unexpectedly, the vanguard was about to arrive in Liyang.

Bad news.

Very bad news.

Once the Japanese invaders occupy Liyang and Yixing, they can bypass Wuxi's flanks.

In other words, it is meaningless to set up defenses in Suzhou. It will be outflanked by the Japanese invaders, and then cut off the escape route and fall into a tight siege.

There is no point in holding on to Jiangyin Fortress.

Because the Japanese invaders could completely bypass the Jiangyin Fortress and then march to Jinling and capture Jinling.

"Yes. The Japanese invaders are advancing too fast."

"Made..."

Zhang Yong cursed angrily.

Suddenly I understood the Japanese invaders' offensive thinking.

The Japanese invaders probably only had two divisions, the 16th and 18th, on the front line in Suzhou.

There would not be more than three divisions at most. But the momentum was huge. It seemed that the main force of the Japanese invaders was east of Taihu Lake.

In fact, the main force of the Japanese invaders passed through Jiaxing and took the west side of Taihu Lake.

Over there, there may be more than ten divisions of Japanese invaders. Their morale is fanatical. How can the national army resist it?

To the west of Taihu Lake is a plain area with no danger to defend.

There must be mountainous areas in Guangde, Langxi and other places farther west. However, the Japanese invaders did not go anywhere.

Their strategic purpose is to quickly detour behind Suzhou and then encircle and annihilate it.

A very vicious tactic. It seems simple but very effective.

Therefore, the Suzhou defense line is not omnipotent. The Japanese invaders have great advantages and can break through at any place.

Even, if necessary, the Japanese invaders can land north of the Yangtze River Estuary. Then attack westward, occupy Nantong, Taizhou, Yangzhou and other places, and then surround Jinling.

With absolute sea and air superiority, the Japanese invaders had too many choices. The Chinese army was simply unable to defend themselves against them.

"Commissioner, we may be flanked from both sides. And then surrounded."

"I know."

"Commissioner, you can retreat with your troops! Leave me in the fortress to contain the enemy as long as I can."

"etc."

Zhang Yong shook his head.

Du Songyue's generous death is certainly worthy of commendation.

However, the situation is not that bad yet. Haven’t the Japanese vanguards not arrived in Yixing yet?

Since he did not arrive in Yixing, Zhang Yong still had a chance to counterattack.

We had promised to counterattack the Japanese 16th Division, so of course we couldn't give up.

Mudd!

in advance!

Fight back tonight!

Ignore the navy for now and attack the Japanese 16th Division first!

How much can be eliminated?

"Report!"

The communications staff officer hurried over.

Zhang Yong nodded.
