That night, Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi sneaked into an area dozens of nautical miles away from Shanghai through a submersible, and then took out a mine-laying submarine. After the two of them boarded the mine-laying submarine, they www.biquge.info dived into the water.

This mine-laying submarine is not advanced in the 21 st century, but Wei Qidong is a little tight now, so the requirements for this kind of submarine do not need to be so high.

The mine-laying submarine can carry fifty mines at a time, but this is not limited to Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi, as long as they have enough status, they can buy enough mines from the system at any time, and they don't need to go to any base.

The direction of this minelaying is Shanghai, and during the general war, the minelaying is arranged in the enemy's port, but the situation in Shanghai is different, due to the weak Chinese navy and the Japanese invasion, Shanghai's port can be said to have little to do with China, but is controlled by the Japanese army and the Western powers.

Wei Qidong also informed the Nanjing side of the mine-laying situation, asking them to inform the powers in the concession on behalf of the Chinese government that they were forbidden to open the ports they used to the Japanese, otherwise, he Wei Qidong would block the ports with mines.

In order to prevent the Western powers from using this as an excuse to embarrass Nanjing, Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi resigned from all positions in the national government, with the simple meaning that their actions only represent individuals, not the national government.

If it was before, Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi resigned from all positions at once, I am afraid that it would make Nanjing think of many things, but the performance of Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi during this period of time made Nanjing really see that the two were absolutely patriotic.

The patriotic enthusiasm of the two has nothing to do with the level of their positions, and besides, the rank of general in the past is actually only a name, and there is no soldier and a half general under his command, it just symbolizes that he belongs to the leadership of the national government. Now, the two have proved by their actions that such symbols are no longer needed.

When Britain, France, and the United States learned that Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi were going to lay mines in Shanghai's port, they naturally protested loudly, but Nanjing only said that they could not interfere with Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi's actions at all, because they did not fall under the jurisdiction of the Nanjing government.

Moreover, the two have submarines, but even the regular army of the government does not have submarines, and they can't interfere if they want to.

It is a fact that the Chinese Navy does not have submarines, but to say that the Nanjing government cannot interfere with the actions of Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi at all, it must be nonsense, and anyone can see the intimate and unintentional cooperation between Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi and the national army during this time.

However, having said that, no matter how unreasonable Britain, France and the United States were, they were embarrassed to turn their faces on the Nanjing side because of this issue, and the Nanjing side also said that if they wanted to ask for the guilt, they could just find Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi directly, and they would not interfere.

With all that said, what else can they do? can only passively accept it while monitoring the actions of Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi. However, when the reconnaissance learned that the two were using submarines to lay mines, these powers were helpless, and none of them sent submarines to China's waters, so it was difficult to interfere in underwater activities.

Fortunately, Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi abided by the agreement of the concession and did not move the wharf leading to the concession for the time being, so they did not threaten their interests too much, so they no longer forcibly interfered.

Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi were blatantly laying mines, and the Japanese army naturally knew about it quickly. Hearing this news, whether it is the Central China Front Command or the Japanese base camp, their faces have changed greatly, Wei Qidong's move is a drain from the bottom of the kettle, if the entire Shanghai is blocked with mines, then how can their supplies be sent to Shanghai?

At present, Shanghai is already an isolated city for the Japanese army, and his most direct way is to take the waterway, of course, it can also be airdropped from a long distance, but this obviously does not show. As soon as the waterway is reached, the Central China Front will really become a lonely army, unable to replenish or replenish, while the Chinese side can provide a steady stream of support.

Now that the Chinese army has the upper hand in Shanghai, if this life-saving road is blocked, the fate of the Central China Front can be imagined.

"What bastards, why do Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi have any weapons? Seeing that the reinforcements are almost arriving, the waterway is one, and the plan is all over. ”

"I don't know how many times more difficult it is to remove mines than to lay them, and even in Chinese waters, with the means of Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi, it is impossible for us to easily clear mines. Perhaps, as soon as our minesweeper passed, it was sunk by them. ”

"However, we have more than 200,000 elites in Shanghai, can we only watch them being eaten by the Chinese army?"

……

The Japanese base camp has been arguing about this, but it has not been able to come up with a feasible plan for a while. A large number of civilian and merchant ships summoned from the Japanese mainland, many of which were loaded with supplies, were about to arrive in the waters of Shanghai. Now, either go back the way you came, or stop where you are, Shanghai is not passable, and there is no point in driving forward.

Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi didn't care, because of the detour of the Japanese Tenth Army and the initiative of the Central China Front to stop the offensive, he and Tang Xinyi didn't need much energy to help for the time being, so the two of them have been laying mines in the submarine for the past few days. Until the ports and wharves that could be accessed by the Japanese were blocked.

And these days, the Japanese are not waiting, and they have no good way to be trapped in Shanghai, but the Japanese base camp has been trying to find a way to negotiate with the concession in the past few days, hoping that the Japanese ships can anchor at the wharf and port of the concession.

was warned by Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi in advance, Britain, France and the United States naturally would not agree to such a request. However, on the grounds that the fleet consisted of civilian and merchant ships and that there were no ships, the Japanese continued to persuade them, and were even willing to pay high prices to temporarily lease ports and wharves on which they could be relied upon.

To be honest, if it weren't for the direct threat from Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi, I'm afraid these powers might have agreed, and the British were more likely to fall into the ground, after all, they had harmed China's interests before and negotiated with Japan. However, they had to weigh the threat of Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi, and they knew the ability of these two people to understand the war in Shanghai during this time.

It can be said that the biggest reason for the change in the battle situation in Shanghai is caused by these two people. Otherwise, the Chinese army would have withdrawn from Shanghai long ago, let alone dared to counterattack again.

The elite of the Japanese army of 200,000 or 300,000 could not help the two of them, and although their concession garrison had been showing off its might in Shanghai for many years, if it were not for the Chinese side's fear of the government behind them, with the current capabilities of the Chinese army, the concession could have been recovered within a day. And Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi's combat power at sea is not weak, and they can completely block their retreat at sea, and they can't escape if they want to.

What's even worse is that Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi are bold, and they have also heard about the fact that they went to Japan more than a month ago to bomb it, although in the end it is not clear why the two took the initiative to withdraw from Japan unharmed, but presumably some kind of consensus has been reached between the two sides. It is likely that this consensus was reached only after the Japanese made concessions.

Since Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi both dared to directly challenge a country, would they really be afraid of these powers, I am afraid that it would be otherwise.

It can be said that for the first time, the powers of these concessions felt the chill and categorically rejected the demands of the Japanese.
