When the war in the concession was raging, Lu Zizheng was leading the team to slowly approach the dock of Huishan, where the Japanese warships were moored.

Lu Zizheng stood on the deck with a solemn expression, of course he heard the sound of artillery fire in the distance, and with a little guess, Lu Zizheng knew that this was the rhythm of the complete fire between China and Japan.

After being silent for a while, Lu Zizheng's frowning brows slowly stretched, according to his analysis, the Japanese army in Shanghai now has 4,000 troops, and the attack on the Chinese side should be a sure victory at this time, and the only threat is the two Japanese warships anchored at the Huishan wharf.

The history of warships is many years, in the Ming Dynasty of our country, there were warships, but at that time it was not called warships called warships, the most famous is Zhu Yuanzhang's biggest enemy Chen Youliang's naval warships, at that time, warships were already very powerful, equipped with heavy weapons such as black artillery, and the height was more than ten meters high, and even higher.

After the first and second industrial revolutions, the rapid development of heavy industry in the West, and the warships that followed with the development have been reborn, called warships, from the smallest torpedo boats, frigates, destroyers, cruisers to the largest aircraft carriers, etc., no matter in terms of height, sturdiness, functionality, security, firepower and other aspects compared with the previous earth-shaking changes.

As a military power during World War II, Japan's control of the sea area was undoubtedly at the overlord level, and the Japanese army owned all torpedo boats, frigates, destroyers, including aircraft carriers, etc., compared with the warships of the Chinese side, which were much more backward, and some troops were even using warships during the Qing Dynasty.

Historically, a large part of the reason for the failure of the Battle of Songhu, among other reasons, came from the lack of sea power on the Chinese side and its lack of sea dominance.

In the simplest aspect, there were not many railways and trains in China at that time, and there were no high-speed, civil aircraft, high-speed railways, etc., and the only few railways were cultivated with the help of foreigners, which led to the transportation of many materials and the dispatch of troops.

It is inconvenient to transport by land, only by sea, but the naval military strength of the Chinese side cannot be compared with the Japanese army at all, and to put it bluntly, China does not dare to go by sea to transport materials and troops, for fear of encountering the Japanese army.

Based on the above reasons, in the later stage of the Battle of Songhu, the Japanese army was able to quickly increase troops and transport materials from the sea, while the Chinese side only relied on their legs or a few means of transportation to increase troops and transport materials.

Zheng Long was able to deeply realize this, so he wanted to take advantage of the fact that before the Japanese reinforcements arrived, he quickly destroyed part of the Japanese army's strength, so as to occupy various points on the land and prevent the Japanese army from landing.

At this moment, at the Huishan wharf, there were two Japanese warships stalling nearby, one was a frigate and the other was a destroyer, and the other warships were still on their way.

The frigate, the lowest point is six meters high from the sea surface, and the gun emplacements on the ship are as high as about eight meters from the sea surface, with a displacement of 1,500 tons and a width of more than 100 meters, and the ship is mainly equipped with 76-127 mm main guns and a number of 25-40 mm machine guns, and is also equipped with deep-water bombs and other heavy weapons, mainly used for anti-submarine, air defense, escort, and so on, and the number of people in the standard configuration is 120.

Compared with the frigate, the destroyer has a large displacement, is equipped with weapons and height, etc., and his main role is to escort the escort, has a strong combat capability, and the standard number of people is about 300 people. (The main thing is that the destroyers are longer and need more people to escort them.) ）

The steamer driven by Lu Zizheng and others, except that the height and appearance are similar to those of warships, there is no way to compare them with warships in other aspects, and they are not a ladder or a grade.

Therefore, Lu Zizheng has been mentally prepared to become a benevolent if he does not succeed this time, and the Japanese warships must be destroyed.

The sea breeze hunted, Lu Zizheng's clothes were blown tightly on his body, his body was not strong, he did not move in the wind, the bright moon hung high in the sky and the dark blue water reflected each other, forming a beautiful and desolate picture.

At this moment, at the Huishan wharf, a part of the Japanese army has been assembled to go to various places to deploy or reinforce, and some of the remaining Japanese troops are trying to consolidate the military defense in the Huishan wharf, and at the same time, the Japanese warships are constantly moving around, and the now silent warships may become roaring monsters at any time.

Logically speaking, the number of warships should be regular, but the Japanese army is now seriously short of manpower, so each warship is only equipped with about 50 people, and the two warships together are only 100 people, which can be seen that the Japanese army is now eager for troops.

In the Tentongan Japanese Naval Headquarters, after Hasegawa had arranged everything, he sent a telegram to China with a very serious face, the main content of the telegram was that the Chinese side had taken action and requested the headquarters to reinforce Shanghai as quickly as possible.

At this moment, outside the Tiantongan and Gongda Yarn Mills, the first brigade of the 87th and 88th Divisions had already surrounded the two Japanese military strongholds, and all entrances and exits were blocked, and the soldiers were actively digging trenches, and the machine gun and artillery teams were already ready to take position, just waiting for an order to open fire at any time.

At the same time, in the Japanese concession, all units were desperately killing the enemy, advancing and fighting at the fastest speed.

At ten o'clock in the evening, forty minutes after the full-scale battle began, Lu Zizheng and the others finally approached the Huishan wharf area.

There are a total of four ships on which Lu Zizheng and the others are riding, and the largest ship has only a few less than ten people, and this ship is attacking head-on, and his main role is to attract enemy firepower and act as cannon fodder.

The other three ships attacked from the flanks and left and right, and the crowd on them was relatively evenly distributed, and these three ships were the real fire support.

Lu Zizheng's arrangement was a last resort, and he knew in his heart that it would be a fool's dream to rely on these civilian ships to compete head-on with the Japanese warships, which were tools of war.

Therefore, Lu Zizheng could only make surprise moves, his idea was to avoid the Japanese artillery fire as much as possible, and log in to the Japanese warships to fight gunfights and close combat after getting closer, only in this way can there be a chance of victory.

Five minutes later, Lu Zizheng's fleet entered the searchlight range of the Japanese warships, and everyone was holding their breath for battle.

The searchlights on the Japanese warships kept sweeping across the sea, and the little devils standing guard kept watching the range of the searchlights, guarding the surroundings.

Suddenly, the searchlight stopped on the largest ship of the fleet led by Lu Zizheng, and the little devil noticed the arrival of the ship.

A second later, the sirens sounded on the Japanese warships and spread in all directions.

The battle at sea has officially begun!
