"Commander, why don't you leave one?"

As a naval veteran, Du Wanlin's biggest dream is to drive a warship belonging to China and gallop in China's maritime frontier, but unfortunately, since the Battle of Jiangyin, the Chinese Navy has lost more than 1,000 tons of warships, and the officers and soldiers on the ship have also been reorganized into the army. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It was at that time that Du Wanlin was incorporated into the Marine Corps, and then he was transferred to the Songhu battlefield and was wounded.

Du Wanlin originally thought that it would be impossible for him to board a warship and gallop on the sea frontier of the motherland in this life, but now, the opportunity is once again in front of him.

The Izumo heavy cruiser at his feet, although old, is also a 10,000-ton heavy cruiser, and although it can't compete with the little devil's battleship on the ocean, it can still fight if it is on the Huangpu River, so Du Wanlin wants to keep this Izumo cruiser.

"Commander, why don't you leave one?"

"Just one, it's enough to leave the Izumo."

Behind Du Wanlin, several veterans also cast hopeful glances at Xu Rui, these veterans are also from the navy like Du Wanlin, they also have the same naval dream, the Jiangyin naval battle is an eternal pain in their hearts, and now they finally have the opportunity to renew the naval dream, they don't want to miss it easily.

Facing the hopeful gaze of Du Wanlin and several naval veterans, Xu Rui found that he could no longer be ruthless and say no.

Just like after intercepting the devil's transport plane in the air, Xu Rui tried every means to get it back to Dameishan, because for the Dameishan base area, the transport plane is a real treasure! Then for Du Wanlin and the veterans of the Navy, the cruiser Izumo is also a treasure.

However, Xu Rui is not a person who is willing to change his mind easily.

Xu Rui didn't directly refuse, and said euphemistically: "If you don't blow up and sink the cruiser Izumo, I'm afraid that Wu Songkou won't be able to block it." ”

"Commander, you don't have to worry about this!" Du Wanlin immediately said, "Long before the Battle of Songhu, our navy did a detailed survey near Wusongkou, and I happened to be an intern in the survey team at that time, so I am very familiar with the terrain of the river near Wusongkou, and I promise you that Wusongkou will be blocked tightly!" ”

Xu Rui asked, "Lao Du, are you sure you can block Wusongkou without relying on the Izumo?" ”

"I'm sure!" Du Wanlin said with great certainty, "Don't go to the Izumo, as long as the Ball Mill and the Tenryu cruisers are enough to block the Wusong Pass, not to mention that we have also captured seven or eight devil warships, although these devil warships have lost power, but they can be towed by finding a few tugboats, and with these seven or eight devil warships, it will be even more fine." ”

Xu Rui shook his head and said, "But even if that's the case, you can't keep the Izumo." ”

After a pause, Xu Rui said again: "As long as the morning dawns, the little devil will definitely dispatch aviation scouts to the nearby river to conduct reconnaissance and search, the size of the Izumo cruiser, there is no place to hide, and once it is discovered, the devil bombers will definitely swarm in, and it will not be blown up and sunk at that time?" ”

"It's easy to do!" Du Wanlin smiled and said, "Let's drive the warship next to the Cincinnati or the Duke of Windsor, and the little devil's bombers won't dare to bomb it." ”

Xu Rui's heart moved when he heard this, this is not a bad way.

Seeing that Xu Rui was a little moved, Du Wanlin hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, and begged: "Commander, you can do it, leave the Izumo to us, as long as you keep the Izumo to us, my old Du will sell your life, in the future, if you let me go east, I will never go west, you let me go south, I will never go north." ”

"Okay." Xu Rui shook his head and said, "Then stay, I really can't help you." ”

Du Wanlin was overjoyed when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to pounce on Xu Rui and kiss him.

Xu Rui said again: "However, you have to do it for me, before dawn, you must block Wusongkou for me!" ”

"Don't worry!" Du Wanlin immediately slapped his chest loudly and said, "Before dawn, we must block the Wusongkou tightly, the 100-ton gunboats dare not pack tickets, and the destroyers of more than 1,000 tons will never want to enter the Wusongkou from now on, even if the water level of the Huangpu River rises in the rainy season, it is absolutely impossible to pass!" ”

"Okay!" Xu Rui patted Du Wanlin on the shoulder, "I'll leave this matter to you." ”

"Yes!" Du Wanlin snapped and said, "Guarantee to complete the task!" ”

After explaining the matter of blocking Wusongkou, Xu Rui handed over the three warships to Du Wanlin, and then took the 3,000 remnants of the Broadway Building directly from Wusong Town to the shore, Wusong Town originally had a military police team of devils, but before the people of the Broadway Building could make a move, the wolf tooth killed this devil team.

After taking control of Wusong Town, Xu Rui left a battalion to assist the navy in removing the large-caliber naval guns on the cruiser Tianlong and the cruiser Qiuma, which were about to be sunk, but the dozen or so 140mm caliber naval guns on the ship could be discarded.

Then, Xu Rui led the main force of the Broadway Building and the wolf's fangs, under the cover of night, along Yangshupu Road to the Hongkou and Yangshupu battlefields, the threat of the devil navy has been lifted, at least temporarily, and the channel of Wusongkou is about to be blocked, and then it is time to clean up the remnants of the Ninth Division.

After cleaning up the remnants of the 9th Division, we have to deploy defenses!

You must know that the 7th Division and the 20th Division of the little devils are about to arrive in Shanghai.

If the defense of Shanghai cannot be deployed in time before the arrival of these two permanent divisions of the little devils, the situation will become very passive at that time, so there is not much time left for Xu Rui.

(Dividing Line)

Last night, the gunfire in Hongkou and Yangshupu districts was relatively sparse, but the explosions on the Huangpu River rang out overnight, especially the big explosion in the middle of the night, which almost alarmed most of the beaches in Shanghai, so after dawn, everyone in the entire concession poured into the streets, wanting to know what happened on the Huangpu River last night?

Steve, the British minister to China, also came to the building of the Ministry of Industry in the concession and asked Jonathan about it.

However, Jonathan also didn't know anything about this, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Your Excellency, I don't know what happened on the Huangpu River last night. ”

At this time, Ferguson, who was next to him, said: "In my judgment, the Third Fleet of the Japanese Navy is probably finished." ”

Ferguson had arrived half an hour before Steve, and when he arrived, Jonathan was still asleep with his female secretary in his arms.

"What do you say? The Third Fleet of the Japanese Navy is already over for fear? Steve said incredulously, "How is that possible?" ”

From Steve's point of view, this is indeed an unimaginable thing, because the Japanese Navy is the third largest navy in the world, and although the British Empire's navy is larger than Japan's, but in the Far East, Britain's naval power is far inferior to the Japanese Navy, not to mention the Chinese Navy.

Therefore, Steve could not imagine that the Japanese Navy would be threatened.

Jonathan also shook his head and said: "I also think that His Excellency the Commodore is a little alarmist, although the Third Fleet of the Japanese Navy is not the main force of the Japanese Navy, but there is no opponent in the East at all, who can pose a threat to them?" Even if the naval power of the United States and our Great Yin Empire in Shanghai is combined, it may not be their opponent. ”

Ferguson unloaded his pipe, shook his head, and said, "Attacking the navy doesn't necessarily have to be the navy. ”

After a pause, Ferguson said lightly: "The Huangpu River is not an ocean, above the ocean, it is almost impossible for the army to attack the navy, but on the Huangpu River, the army still has the opportunity to sneak attack, for example, find a few fishing boats, and then load the fishing boats with explosives, it is enough to blow up a big hole in the side of the warship!" ”

"Sneak attack on a fishing boat?" Steve smirked, "Your Excellency Brigadier General is laughing. ”

Jonathan also laughed and said, "Your Excellency the General is really joking. ”

However, as soon as Jonathan's words fell, his female secretary Jenna hurriedly walked in and said, "Mr. Director-General, oh and His Excellency the Baron, Your Excellency the General, you better listen to the radio, the war radio station of the patrol camp has just released a notice, saying that there is important news announced in five minutes, which seems to be related to the Japanese Navy." ”

Jonathan was shocked when he heard this, and quickly stepped forward to turn on the radio.

Steve and Ferguson also pricked up their ears.

What was playing on the radio was a well-known song in Shanghai, Night Shanghai.

After a short pause in the night, a pleasant female voice sounded: "The vast number of compatriots in Shanghai, all the officers and soldiers of the patrol camp, and overseas Chinese friends from various countries, good morning, I am your old friend Liang Yixiao, and now I will broadcast a major good news to you." ”

Steve, Ferguson, and Jonathan immediately held their breath.

On the radio, Liang Yixiao's voice sounded again: "After the heavy damage to the Japanese Ninth Division the night before yesterday, last night, a certain unit of our patrol battalion inflicted heavy damage on the Third Fleet of the Japanese Navy, including the aircraft carrier Kaga, nine ships were defeated, and another seven ships were captured by us, including the flagship of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet, the cruiser Izumo. ”

Hearing this, Steve, Ferguson, and Jonathan exclaimed at the same time, God, this is unbelievable!

Ferguson had already thought that nine times out of ten it was the patrol battalion that did it, but he still obviously underestimated the patrol battalion, Ferguson originally thought that it would be good if the patrol battalion could blow up and sink one or two Japanese gunboats, but he did not expect that if the patrol battalion did not make a move, it would directly give the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet a pot!

Ferguson couldn't imagine how this battle was fought.
