When the explosion occurred on the Huangpu River, Lucas was making out with his girlfriend in the bow of the ship. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Lucas was an ensign officer in the U.S. Navy and served aboard the light cruiser USS Cincinnati.

Just yesterday, the cruiser Cincinnati arrived in Shanghai from the Philippines to rest, and almost as soon as it docked, the sailors on board ran away.

These American GIs either went to Paramount and Big World, or went to MGM, and all of them went to find the ballroom courtesans to vent their fire, all of them were young men in their twenties, who had been holding back for almost a few months, and finally went ashore once, and they had to hurry up and clear the inventory that had accumulated for months.

Since the founding of the United States, American GIs have been this virtue, and they have not changed much.

However, Lucas offered to stay on duty on the warship, which made the captain happy, but the captain didn't know that the reason why Lucas took the initiative to stay was because he had agreed with his girlfriend that tonight, his girlfriend would quietly board the light cruiser Cincinnati and come to have a tryst with him.

Speaking of Lucas's girlfriend, she is still a celebrity.

She is the Associated Press war correspondent in China, Helena.

A few days ago, Helena also wrote a draft in solidarity with the patrol camp, which triggered a large-scale demonstration, and it was because of that manuscript that Helena, a reporter from the Associated Press who was originally unknown, became a celebrity in an instant, and almost all Western dignitaries, including US President Roosevelt, remembered her name.

Helena is a very typical American girl, passionate, bold, and romantic.

After two rounds of tossing and dancing with Lucas in the cramped cabin, Helena's interest came to her and asked Lucas to take her to the bow, where she was to stand on the bow of the Cincinnati light cruiser, hold on to the cable, and look at the Huangpu River in the darkness of the night, and then Lucas attacked from behind.

When a series of explosions suddenly occurred on the Huangpu River, Lucas was holding Helena's thin waist and launching a fierce attack from behind.

At this time, the original dark night in front of him suddenly lit up a dazzling red light, and in the next moment, the deafening explosion swept over, stimulated by the sudden huge explosion, Lucas disarmed at once, Helena was also frightened, and almost fell into the Huangpu River.

"God, oh God!" Helena stared blankly at the huge red light that continued to bloom on the river in front of her, completely stupid.

Helena didn't even realize that her perfect carcass had been exposed under the dazzling red light, and only an American girl like Helena would run to the bow of the ship bare-bottomed in this weather, facing the cold river breeze and fighting her boyfriend.

"It looks like a Japanese warship!" Lucas was also stupid and even forgot to lift his pants.

The Huangpu River, which flows along the Shanghai, presents an inverted 7 shape, in which the wharf along the river is already under the control of the Japanese Navy, and the wharf on the west bank of the Huangpu River is under the control of the American and British navies.

"God, is it the Japanese Navy that has been attacked? Did the patrol camp do it? It was only then that Helena finally felt a hint of coldness, walked back to the bow gun, grabbed the coat that rested on it and draped it over her body, then quickly grabbed the camera back to the bow and began to press the shutter of the camera continuously.

As a journalist, she will never forget her job at any time and anywhere.

"Mostly, yes." Lucas also felt a hint of coldness, and quickly put on his coat at the moment, then walked over and hugged Helena from behind and said, "Look at this explosion, to say the least, there are seven or eight warships attacked, God, how did the patrol battalion touch the Japanese warships?" It's just incredible. ”

Helena pressed the shutter continuously and said, "The Japanese Navy is miserable now." ”

"There is no doubt about it." Lucas nodded and said, "This time, the Third Fleet of the Japanese Navy stationed in Shanghai will definitely suffer unprecedented heavy losses, and it is possible that the entire army will be destroyed." ”

(Dividing Line)

Lucas was not wrong, the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet was really going to be wiped out this time.

Leng Tiefeng's surprise attack plan was set at 0:00 in the morning, and not long after Xu Rui and Leng Tiefeng succeeded in attacking the Izumo cruiser, the rest of the dozen or so battle groups also launched attacks.

Due to the excellent secrecy work and the participation of the Wolf Tooth Brigade, the attack of more than a dozen combat groups was very smooth at the beginning, but no matter how perfect the plan was, it could also deviate in the execution, and it was inevitable that there would be one or another situation in the execution process, so there was still a little deviation.

Nine of these combat teams failed to control the target warship in the end, either the arsenal was blown up and sunk on the spot by the little devils, or all the boilers were destroyed by the devils, and they were anchored in place and could not move, but even if they were thrown in place, the control of these warships also fell into the hands of the Broadway building.

Then next, Xu Rui can find tugboats and drag these warships that have lost power to Wusongkou and then blow them up, so that the channel can be blocked, and then it will be impossible for the devil's warships to enter the Huangpu River, and it will be impossible to provide fire support to the devil's army from the Huangpu River.

It is a pity to say that there are still fewer naval veterans like Du Wanlin, and if there are enough naval veterans, such a situation will not occur, and if there are enough naval veterans, the Songhu Military Sub-district may even be able to form a navy.

It is a pity that there are only more than three hundred veterans of the Navy, and the vast majority of them are just ordinary sailors.

Fortunately, there are still six combat groups like Xu Rui and his group, and they have successfully controlled the target ship!

The only regret is that among the target ships controlled by these six battle groups, three are gunboats, and only two light cruisers, namely the light cruiser Tianlong and the light cruiser Qiuma.

With three cruisers in control, the second stage of combat operations can begin!

Yes, that's right, the entire action plan drawn up by Leng Tiefeng is divided into two steps, the first step is to attack the devil navy fleet moored on the Huangpu River, strive to control one or two light cruisers, and then drive these two light cruisers to the sea off Wusong to kill the devil aircraft carrier moored off the coast of Wusong!

From the very beginning, Leng Tiefeng's goal was to take out the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet!

From the very beginning, Leng Tiefeng's goal was to wipe out Little Japan's Third Fleet!

Now, the results of the first phase are unexpectedly good, and Xu Rui and Leng Tiefeng have no reason to let go of the devil aircraft carrier anchored off the coast of Wusong!

(Dividing Line)

Off the coast of Wusong, the bridge of the aircraft carrier Kaga.

Sannami Sadazo hurriedly walked into the command room, only to see that Fujimori Seiichiro had already arrived, and immediately asked, "Fujimori-kun, what happened to the explosion just now?" ”

A series of explosions occurred on more than a dozen devil warships on the Huangpu River, and nine of them were even sunk, and such a large-scale explosion could not be heard by the aircraft carrier Kaga anchored off the coast of Wusong.

Seiichiro Fujimori is the captain of the aircraft carrier Kaga, and Sadazo Minami is the commander of the flying team on the aircraft carrier Kaga, and the two are the two supreme commanders of the aircraft carrier Kaga.

"I don't know." Faced with Sannami Sadazo's inquiry, Fujimori Seiichiro could only shake his head.

Sannami Sadazo frowned and asked, "Did you call Izumo?" What did Your Excellency the General say? ”

"I called just now, but I didn't respond." Seiichiro Fujimori shook his head again.

Sanami Sadazo's face immediately became gloomy, and he called the Izumo but there was no response, this is definitely not good news, could it be that the big explosion just now has something to do with the Imperial Navy? Or was it simply an explosion on a warship of the Imperial Navy? But how is this possible? The Imperial Navy had no rivals at all in Shanghai!

Sanjuzhen really can't imagine that there is any other country in Shanghai whose navy can threaten them? Only with the British light cruiser Duke of Windsor? Or the cruiser USS Cincinnati for the US Navy? It's really not that the three are arrogant, just these two light cruisers, the Third Fleet of the Japanese Navy can sink them in minutes.

After thinking for a while, Sannami Sadazo said, "Fujimori-kun, why don't you send a reconnaissance plane to take a look?" ”

In this era, there is no infrared instrument, and the danger of flying at night is extremely high, and it is even more difficult to reconnoiter at night, because you have to throw flares, but when the flares are lit, your whereabouts are not exposed? Fortunately, Shanghai is already a Japanese-occupied area, and there is no need to worry about the threat of anti-aircraft guns, so it is still feasible to send reconnaissance planes to reconnoitre.

Seiichiro Fujimori was about to nod his head when the pager on the command platform suddenly sounded.

Fujimori Seiichiro hurriedly grabbed the pager and said urgently: "Maxi Maxi, this is Kaga!" ”

"Fujimori-kun, I'm Kiyoshi Hasegawa." A familiar voice sounded in the pager, and Seiichiro Fujimori heard that it was indeed Hasegawa Kiyoshi's voice, and quickly nodded his head.

With a sigh of hai, Fujimori Seiichiro then asked, "Your Excellency, what happened to the explosion just now?" ”

"The patrol battalion carried out a sneak attack, two gunboats were bombed, and a light cruiser was injured, but it was not a big problem." Hasegawa Kiyoshi said lightly on the pager, "You don't have to be nervous. ”

"Hello!" Seiichiro Fujimori breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
