October 1st, early morning.

The special operations platoon departed on time. Before leaving, the commander-in-chief, Zhu Shaoliang, personally came to see off the warriors.

"'Izumo' is the flagship of the Japanese Third Fleet, and countless of our soldiers and civilians died under its fire, and it is stained with the blood of countless Chinese, so it is a ship of evil!"

Zhu Shaoliang stood in the team with a solemn expression, he looked at each special combat member, and continued: "The main force of the Japanese army will move south in a few days to attack Wenzaobang, Dachang, and Zhabei, and I don't know how many of our brothers died under its fire, so please be sure to blow him up in the evening action." There is no faith! ”

The team members below shouted in unison: "Yes! Yes! Yes! ”

Zhu Shaoliang finally said loudly: "You are elites, warriors, heroes, and the pride of our Ninth Army!" Now is the time to show your courage and fight for your honor! I will always be here to hear of your victory! ”

Ye Lei shouted: "Let's go!" ”

Li Hu shouted, "Turn left!" Let's go! ”

"Step~Step~Step~""......"

Twenty-four people, including Ye Lei, got into two trucks prepared for them with neat and powerful steps.

"Salute!"

Zhu Shaoliang shouted loudly, and the surrounding generals and soldiers saluted together to see these warriors in their hearts leave.

Ye Lei thanked the officers for attaching importance to this operation, but Zhu Shaoliang's actions invisibly brought pressure to the team members. Special forces do not need to motivate morale when performing their tasks, they need more to be calm and make calm judgments in action.

The truck arrived near a wharf on the upper reaches of the Huangpu River, where a nondescript freighter was waiting for them.

There were still 40 minutes before the action, and Ye Lei took the team to the riverside. It was pitch black and it was raining moderately.

In front of the team, Ye Lei said: "Night is an ordinary mission. You have been through countless targeted trainings, and I have faith in you, and you should have faith in yourself. The weather and the night were very favorable to us, so this operation was not difficult. I just ask you to let go of your baggage and face it with a normal heart. ”

One of the team members said, "Captain, we're going to blow up this evil Izumo!"

"Very well, I believe you have the ability. But! As a special combat member, you must always stay calm no matter what situation you encounter. Because we will always face unexpected situations in our actions, and at that time you need to think calmly and make the right judgment. ”

Ye Lei looked at the time and asked, "Do you remember what I called you when I was selected?"

The team members replied together, "Frogs!"

Ye Lei said: "In the United States, Europe and other countries, there is a class called frogmen, and you are frogmen at night. The so-called frogmen are units that are responsible for underwater reconnaissance, demolition, and special combat missions. Okay, I'll give you a minute to go through every step, step, and detail of the mission. ”

At this time, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the river surface set off waves. Ye Lei didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing at this time, as the rain became heavier, the river would become turbulent, which would have a great impact on the fixed mines.

Now there is still half an hour before the operation, Ye Lei led the team to the boat, and then the ship drove to the middle of the river.

"Check your gear!"

The team members carefully checked their equipment, then put on wetsuits and put on waterproof masks.

The boat began to move downstream, stopping at a distance of three kilometers from the target.

With a sound of "plop~", a mine was thrown off the boat, and three team members jumped into the water with it. A custom-built blasting device has been installed on the mine, which will explode on its own after forty minutes.

Then there was another "plop", and the three team members jumped into the water with him......

Until the last mine was thrown into the water, a total of six mines were dropped, and eighteen team members jumped into the water. Three people form a regular triangle, two people are fixed, and one is guided in front.

"Let's go!"

Including Ye Lei, the last six people jumped into the water together. The eighteen team members were already in the water, forming a formation, and Ye Lei and the six people were responsible for leading the way in front and guiding the target ship for the people behind.

"Salute!"

With a sound of "brush~", the soldiers of the national army of a squad on the ship saluted the river together under the order of a major. Although Ye Lei and the others were no longer visible, they still saw them off with the highest respect, and they all knew that blowing up Izumo was of great significance.

After the special forces left, the boat drove back to the dock. Even if Ye Lei and they successfully completed the task, it would be impossible to return the same way, and in the end, they could only rely on themselves to break out of the encirclement.

There is still a distance of three kilometers from the Hatsukumo fleet, and in this process, the team members need to consume great physical strength. Ye Lei was in charge of opening the way, and the five team members in the back followed closely, and the eighteen people in the back watched the faint light coming from the water and followed closely.

This operation is critical to the timing and needs to be coordinated with the Air Force. Although it was a rainy day, the Japanese warship must have had a lot of observers. Once discovered, not to mention the failure of the operation, these 24 people may be more than lucky.

"Buzz~Buzz~Buzz~" "......"

At one o'clock in the morning, a piercing siren suddenly sounded in Hongkou, and twelve Nationalist bombers flew overhead.

"Click~" "......"

On the ground and on the warship, dozens of searchlights were turned on together, and a large number of pillars of light staggered back and forth in the night sky, which was extremely spectacular.

"Whoosh~Whoosh~Whoosh~" "......"

"Boom Boom" "Boom Boom" "......"

Dozens of bombs fell from the sky, and there was a fire near Huishan Pier. The Japanese anti-aircraft positions on the ground were in full swing, and the fires were shining on the warships, and scorching fires flew into the sky one after another.

The sky-high firelight, as well as the light of the searchlight, are Ye Lei's best pointing lights. After locking on to the target, the rear team members quickly moved towards their respective targets at a depth of five meters.

"Boom Boom" "......"

In addition to the air force, the ground artillery of the national army carried out intensive artillery bombardment of the Japanese army in Hongkou. Hongkou suddenly shook the mountains, and there was a situation where the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings.

Under such a strong attack, it was difficult for the Japanese army to think that the opponent's real attack target was underwater.

Underwater, the action team acted separately under the guidance of Ye Lei and several team members. Five meters below the "Hatsukumo Ship", due to the turbulent current, two team members forcefully controlled the mines, and the other two team members fixed the cross iron sheet to the deck. They first fixed it with a magnet and then smashed the nail into the iron plate.

"How could the enemy suddenly attack!"

Hasegawa Kiyoshi was awakened from his sleep by the sound of explosions, he couldn't believe that the 88th Division still had the strength to fight back, and they had gathered tens of thousands of troops in Hongkou.

One of the communications corps reported: "Report! In the direction of Zhabei, a large number of Chinese troops were found to be massed, and they formed an offensive posture against our peripheral positions. ”

Command, Sato heard it and said: "This is absolutely fake, they don't have the strength to fight back."

Hasegawa asked, "Sato-kun, then what do you say is the enemy's purpose?" ”

Sato thought for a moment and said, "It's Ye Lei who has made a move, and this trick is called hiding from the sky and crossing the sea." ”

Although Sato guessed it, he didn't know what Ye Lei was going to do. Hasegawa ordered all troops to be on high alert and mobilized troops in the rain overnight to consolidate the outer defensive line.

Ye Lei didn't expect to confuse the other party, he just wanted to mess up and confuse the water to create favorable conditions for his actions and retreat.

Ten minutes later, twelve air force planes flew away, and the shelling on the ground had stopped, and Hongkou seemed to be calm again, except for the lights and the remaining fire, and it was pitch black everywhere. And the Japanese army on the ground was busy preparing for war because of what had just happened.

After completing the task, the special combat team quickly broke away along the river, and did not emerge until it was 500 meters downstream.

Twenty-four people emerged from the river and looked south together.

"Boom Boom" "Boom Boom" "......"

At this time, a huge explosion occurred on the Huangpu River, and the surface of the river was in flames, and the "Izumo" and the four surrounding warships were in flames, and a large amount of river water poured into the ship's warehouse like a flood, and the huge "Izumo" began to tilt and sink.

"Withdraw!"

Looking at the sky-high firelight, Ye Lei was excited, and immediately ordered the team to evacuate quickly. Taking advantage of such a big advantage of the devil, the other party will not give up, and the real crisis of the special combat team has only begun now.
