As a world-renowned treaty port, there are naturally countless ships sailing on the Huangpu River to Shanghai every day. For many ships of various countries sailing on the sea, they have seen a lot of scenes of Japanese warships flaunting their might in recent years.

Although the Japanese army did not dare to embarrass these ocean-going ships too much, compared with the past when these ocean-going ships were free to navigate along the coast of China, they are now subject to many restrictions. This kind of restriction makes many maritime ships very unhappy.

It's a pity that at the moment, the Japanese army is in full swing, and the commercial ships and even warships of various countries dare not annoy the warships of the little devils too much. Especially when they meet on the sea, commercial ships that have no power to fight back naturally do not dare to ram the warships of the little devils.

If the curse is useful, I am afraid that the warships sent by the little devils to the coast of China will probably sink a long time ago. At present, many ship owners and people in Shanghai were very surprised to suddenly see that the little devil warship that was about to set sail was blown up.

Just when some people speculated whether the warship with the largest tonnage would have a boiler and fryer because of improper operation. The continuous sound of explosions let even the most stupid person know that the little devil's warship was attacked.

The navies of Britain, the United States, and other countries, which also sent warships to Shanghai, watched the explosion of a Japanese ship not far away, and the ships immediately sounded the battle alarm, and the fleet commander immediately ordered: "All ships, immediately enter a state of combat readiness!" ”

Compared with the officers and men on the warships of Britain, the United States and other countries, they were busy and staring at the Huangpu River in fear. The officers and men of the little devil ship who were blown up in a daze couldn't understand why a good warship blew up just after it started?

As the first flagship was the first to suffer heavy damage, under the billowing smoke, many officers and men who boarded the ship began to jump from the warship into the river in a panic. The warship next to it, which seemed to be unhindered, also began to hear explosions one after another.

The warships of various countries that had already entered a state of combat readiness were also shocked when they saw the repeated explosions of the Japanese fleet: "Have you seen a submarine?" Fuso's warship, what's going on? How did a continuous explosion occur? ”

"There was no submarine in sight! As far as I know, the Fuso fleet has set up an interception net on the periphery to prevent the possibility of submarine attacks. The most important thing is that the entire Asian seas have a pitiful number of submarines. And the submarine that came? ”

"Then what caused the explosion of this warship? Someone sneaked into their warship and made an explosion? ”

"Unlikely! The Fuso people protect warships much more tightly than we do! ”

No matter how many people want to break their heads, they can't guess that before the little devil gets on the ship, there are many time bombs on the warship. Except for the flagship, which detonated three minutes earlier, the subsequent warships all exploded at the same time.

The damage caused by multiple time bombs turned the originally strongest Japanese fleet into a living coffin with billowing smoke in an instant, and many little devils on the ship could only jump off the warship helplessly to avoid the explosion.

Looking through the binoculars, you can even see a lot of little devils rushing out of the cabin, and there are very conspicuous flames on their bodies. Seeing this scene, the officers and men of the warships of Britain and the United States and other countries couldn't help but say: "These Fusang people are really unfortunate!" ”

While talking about misfortune, the officers and men of these battleships all had a smile on the corner of their mouths without exception. Originally, in Shanghai, their warships were able to run rampant. Ever since the arrival of the Imp fleet, they have become the object of restraint.

Now that they see that the little devils who usually roar with cattle are unlucky, they are naturally happy to watch the excitement. On the other hand, along the Huangpu River, a large number of onlookers began to gather, looking at the little devil warships that were smoking and exploding from time to time.

"Well fried! These little devils who are killed by heaven have such a day! ”

"Oh my God! Which hero did this? That's amazing! Serve the fleet of little devils! ”

"Could it be that the little devil's warship has an accident?"

"If there was only one ship, there must have been an accident. But right now, it's the warship of all the little devils. Look at the foreign devil warship next to you, aren't they good? The little devil has done too much evil, God can't stand it! ”

Compared with the common people who talked about it in private, they rejoiced at the bombing of the little devil fleet, but the Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai were completely shocked. The Marine Corps building, which had been attacked by Hu Biao earlier, became a chicken and a dog jumping again.

Several little devil barracks where troops were stationed also sounded a piercing emergency assembly whistle. Countless little devils who couldn't figure out the situation, listening to the huge explosion coming from the riverside, thought that the main force of the national army was preparing to start a battle for recovery!

Several Japanese generals who were staying in the Marine Corps command building listened to the report from their subordinates and said in disbelief: "What about it? There were explosions on all warships of the fleet? What's going on here? ”

"It happened so suddenly that we haven't heard anything from it at the moment. According to the report of the guard sentry on the riverside, it was our flagship that exploded first, and then the other warships exploded en masse.

From the analysis of the current situation, the possibility of an attack from the river can be basically ruled out. If nothing else, it was someone who broke into our warship and planted a timed bomb that caused the concentrated explosion as it is now. ”

"Yaga! What does the unit responsible for the security of warships do eat? When exactly did the enemy break in? ”

For such an inquiry, even the intelligence officers who collected information were naturally confused. There were many assassinations in the concession the night before, and they had not yet found valuable information, and now there was another such explosion of a warship.

Even the warships stationed in Shanghai are not the main warships. But as far as the Japanese army is concerned, this warship formation is also responsible for supporting the combat cooperation along the Yangtze River. Without the protection of this ship, the attacking forces would have had a hard time.

On the other hand, Hu Biao, who was staying in the villa at the moment, discussing with Brooke about leaving the city, listened to the explosion from the direction of the Huangpu River, and pretended to be surprised: "Uh! What's going on? The sound of explosions coming from there? ”

"Young master, listening to the direction from which the explosion came, it seems to be from the Huangpu River!"

"Could it be that what's going on on the other side of the Huangpu River?"

Brooke was also curious, hearing the continuous explosions coming from the direction of the Huangpu River, and the billowing smoke that he could see from a distance from the concession, he also wanted to know what was going on there.

Using the phone number from Hu Biao's home, Brooke immediately called his uncle Bill to ask what was happening in the direction of the Huangpu River. When he learned that the fleet of the little devils stationed in Shanghai had been bombed, he also felt a little incredulous.

"Uncle, how is this possible? The fleet of the Fuso people is as many as nearly ten ships? ”

"At first I didn't believe it either! But the soldiers of our naval fleet have already sent a message that the fleet sent to Shanghai by the Fuso people is afraid that all of them will be destroyed. There are several warships, which are sinking at the moment. ”

"God! Who did this? This method is too terrifying! ”

"Whatever! As long as this matter has nothing to do with us. At least for us, the greater the losses of the Fuso fleet, the better it will be for us. By the way, try to stay in the concession during this time, and don't go out at will. ”

"Yes, uncle! Wait for Hu and his fiancée to be sent away, I'll stay at home and won't go out if it's okay. ”

"Well, then you should be careful yourself! Tell Tom that they're here for you. ”

"Thank you, uncle!"

After hanging up the phone, Brooke soon told Hu Biao the news he had heard without reservation. As an audience, Hu Biao also showed a shocked look. As for Lin Yashi, she was also completely stunned when she heard the news.

If she didn't know, Hu Biao rarely showed such a 'shocked' expression, she might really suspect that this matter had nothing to do with Hu Biao. But now, she has almost determined that Hu Biao must have done this.

Thinking that Hu Biao relied on his own strength to destroy a warship of a formation of little devils overnight, she admired Hu Biao more than before. For her, the more she knows about Hu Biao, the more she feels that this man is unfathomable!

After chatting about these things, Hu Biao pretended to be worried and said: "If such a thing happens, the Japanese army will not prohibit us from going out of the city, right?" ”

"They don't dare! With such a large territory, how could they prevent everyone from leaving the city? At least on the concession side, they still don't dare to mess around. Now that even the fleet is gone, they will definitely not dare to be as arrogant as before! ”

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hu Biao asked Brooke to accompany Lin Yashi, first go to the company's side for a turn, and then let the team out of the city. During this time, Lin Yashi also followed Brooke outside the city several times in the name of condolences.

At least for the Japanese investigation team in charge of the investigation outside the city, they did not dare to be too presumptuous. After all, the car in which Brooke was seated was flying the Merriken flag, which meant that the convoy was a vehicle from the consulate in Shanghai.

As long as there were no prohibited materials on the bus, those people did not dare to search their bodies at will. When the convoy arrives outside the city, Hu Biao will send someone to pick up Lin Yashi, who got off the car. Then Brooke drove the car back and didn't have to be inspected again.

This also means that many people who pay attention to Lin Yashi should not know the news that Lin Yashi has left for a short time. As for the Aihua company that has been established, with Brooke to help take care of it, there should not be many people who dare to find trouble.

After sending Lin Yashi away, Hu Biao sent a telegram directly to the military commander's intelligence station in the concession directly in the villa where he lived, and asked him to forward it to Dai Li. The credit for the bombing of the warship, Hu Biao also planned to give it to the military commander.

The condition is that the military commander needs to pay a certain fee for this. As for the so-called top-secret information, Hu Biao planned to give it to Wang Mincheng and ask him to report it to Dai Li. This can be regarded as a big gift from Hu Biao to Wang Mincheng.

After receiving this encrypted telegram, Wang Mincheng, who had just learned that the little devil fleet had been bombed, also seemed confused. When he saw the telegram, he couldn't hide his shock and said, "Oh my God! They did it! That's amazing! ”

In Wang Mincheng's view, the action team sent to Shanghai above is also called the elite. But compared with Hu Biao and these people, Wang Mincheng suddenly felt that the so-called elite sent above was not comparable with Hu Biao's subordinates at all!
