Chapter 237: Li Tie and Wang Yaqiao's counterattack

Wang Yaqiao came to Shanghai to help Li Tie and to support the Anti-Japanese War, and when the Japanese had just begun to stir up trouble in Shanghai, Wang Yaqiao noticed the strangeness of the Japanese.

Wang Yaqiao, who knew the Japanese well, guessed that the Japanese were going to carry out a greater military operation in Shanghai by virtue of his innate sensitivity to war.

Wang Yaqiao, who was well aware of the Nationalist Government's consistent policy of non-resistance, immediately sent an axe gang of people from the Mouse Bird Hall to enter Shanghai in large numbers to search for all kinds of information about the Japanese army in Shanghai.

That is, when the Japanese army had just begun to attack the Chinese defenders outside the Shanghai Concession, Wang Yaqiao had already brought a group of men down to the Golden Tiger Club.

For Wang Yaqiao's arrival, the Axe Gang Zhantang cheered and immediately strengthened the guards twice as many as usual, and the black big people personally guarded the downstairs.

Because the Japanese army had blocked the entire river, this operation was almost a mortal mission. That's why the thousand-tailed scorpion and the eldest brother Wang Yaqiao had a very unpleasant quarrel.

Because she was reluctant to take the risk with her eldest brother, she insisted on waiting until Li Tie came and then discussed the results together. Because she believed that Li Tie had many ghost ideas, she would definitely help her eldest brother complete the task of attacking Japanese warships at the lowest cost.

And Wang Yaqiao heard the thousand-tailed scorpion say that around these warships, Li Tie had already ambushed the special combat team and bombarded the warships with some unconscionable cannon.

Because the thousand-tailed scorpion did not know the power of the unconscionable cannon, Wang Yaqiao also believed that the success rate of shelling warships was too small, and the damage was limited, so it could not achieve the effect of shocking the Japanese army.

So he insisted on attacking the Japanese ship with his own methods, and just when the two couldn't hold on, Li Tie just happened to break in. The previous series of misunderstandings will occur.

Fortunately, the communication between Li Tie and Wang Yaqiao was very easy, and the two parties each synthesized their own strengths, and when Li Tie heard that Wang Yaqiao had a team of brothers who were good at diving, he jumped up happily.

Because for this operation, he specially ordered Huaxing Laboratory to build 100 sets of underwater simple snorkels, and if a person who is good at swimming has this thing, he will have no problem staying in the water for a day.

At the same time, Li Tie also sent people to prepare ten modified mines, which could float in the water and move forward. It's a pity that these special combat personnel under their own hands can dive and swim for a short time.

After a long period of diving, and then holding a sunken mine in the water, you can't swim a few steps at all. That's why this plan to attack in the water went bankrupt, and now with Wang Yaqiao's team of people who go to the sea all year round to make a living, this plan can be implemented again.

Li Tie immediately ordered Wang Qi to send the mines, diving suits, and snorkels. Li Tie and Wang Yaqiao further discussed the specific steps of the action.

In the office of the thousand-tailed scorpion, when Wang Yaqiao learned that Li Tie was going to send submariners to bombard the Japanese warship with a conscienceless cannon modified from gasoline barrels, Wang Yaqiao immediately rejected the proposal.

Because although the unconscionable cannon has a large attack area, its range is too close, and the target is huge, the wind is strong on the water, and the warship does not stand still in the water.

So not only will the accuracy be reduced, but the effect of the attack will also be greatly reduced, and finally Wang Yaqiao gave him a proposal. His men were responsible for attacking three to five warships with mines.

The capable people under his command who are proficient in water can send these mines to the warship to detonate. As long as one or two warships are blown up and sunk, the warships on the river will immediately be in chaos, and that is when they will have no conscience to exert their might.

And he also said that he can't fall in love with the battle, the enemy's artillery is very bad, and after firing two unconscionable guns, no matter what the result of the battle, he must retreat immediately.

Compared with Wang Yaqiao, Li Tie found that he was too amateurish. Let Wang Yaqiao teach for a while in the office, and finally the two sides made a plan. Then go your separate ways.

Soon the latest plan of action was sent to the special operators near the Wusong fortress. Although everyone was anxious to kill the warships in the river, it was just like what Li Tie said.

In order to avoid the artillery fire in the fortress, the warships on the river are also constantly fighting, and this kind of unconscionable artillery hitting moving targets is indeed a weakness.

Therefore, even when they saw that the Japanese warships were constantly bombarding the downtown area of Shanghai, the special combat personnel were still more than willing to do so.

However, Li Tie's letter said that when he saw the explosion of the warship in Jiangzhong and the chaos of the enemy's fleet, he attacked again.

A group of special combat personnel could only continue to hide in the alleys by the river, closely watching the warships in the river.

The time had just come to the afternoon, and dozens of Japanese warships in the Huangpu River were still bombing downtown Shanghai and Wusong Fortress in the middle of the river.

In a few inconspicuous places on the riverside, a small wooden boat came to each of them, and the wooden boat was empty, except for an old boatman rocking the oar, little by little close to the Japanese warship.

As soon as the boat appeared, it was seen by the lookout on the warship.

The lookout shouted to stop the small boat that was going down the river in the distance, but the old fisherman on the small boat seemed to not hear it, and approached the warship on his own.

The lookouts no longer warned. A machine gun was set up and fired directly at the boat, and the old fishermen on the boat fell down without dodging the gun, and fell into the river.

The lookout was overjoyed, and his marksmanship was too accurate. Immediately ran to the clerk to report his exploits, he had just eliminated one, no, five Chinese soldiers who came to sneak attack.

After happily reporting his exploits and returning to his post, he looked at the river and found that the unmanned boat was still approaching his own warship.

"No, even if you go down the river, although your own warship is very slow, it shouldn't have been thrown off this small wooden boat by now?"

The lookout looked down at the fence in confusion, and found that there seemed to be several black shadows under the small wooden boat, and before he could see clearly, these black shadows disappeared at once.

"How big a fish is to leave such a big black shadow under the boat. Right? It can't be a water ghost sent by the enemy, right? The lookout was so frightened that he was covered in a cold sweat and immediately ran to the bridge and came to the command room of the warship.

He immediately reported to the captain of the ship what he had just discovered suspiciously, and at this time the captain and the first mate of the warship were happily discussing the great achievements of the bombing of Shanghai.

He is calculating how many houses he has knocked down and how many innocent people have been killed.

Now I suddenly heard an unknown small fishing boat approaching the warship, and there was a suspicious black shadow burrowing into the bottom of the warship. The captain was only stunned for a moment and then explained to the people around him with a smile:

"Don't be afraid, except for a few broken ships, they don't have a formal navy, and they don't have authentic marines.

The Empire's intelligence services had also informed that the enemy did not have a frogman-like force in the waters of Shanghai, let alone powerful mines. So all worries are unnecessary. ”

Just as the captain had just finished saying these words, he heard two loud bangs at the bottom of the ship. Then the whole warship swayed violently.

Immediately after the call from the command room, the loss prevention group of the ship's bottom warehouse called, and two one-meter-large gaps were blown open at the bottom of the ship, and the river water poured in tons, and the loss prevention team was unable to rush to repair, so it was recommended to abandon the ship immediately.

When the captain heard the report of the loss prevention team, he cursed a few times, and had to give the order to abandon the ship and transfer all the members, just after he gave the order to abandon the ship, he only heard two loud bangs from another warship not far away.

Then, the captain seemed to faintly hear a few more similar loud noises. But he didn't care about that anymore, his warship was about to sink after being bombed.

He now had to report the matter to Major General Shiozawa first, and he also had to consider whether to thank the emperor by seppuku.

The constant explosions of the warships around him also caused a burst of chaos among the nearby warships, and everyone could no longer care about bombarding the downtown area of Shanghai.

While busy looking for other enemies in the river, he organized the rescue of Japanese sailors who fell into the river.

There were already many marines and armed businessmen on board the warship. Everyone is preparing to land on Shanghai Beach before nightfall to seize various important places.

Just when these warships were in chaos and the sailors in the river were desperately begging for help, they saw several black shadows suddenly launched from the sky in the distance.

Some of these black shadows fell on the surface of the water, some landed on the deck of the warship, and only a few loud bangs were heard, and some of the personnel on the warship were shocked to death on the spot, and some were washed into the river again by the air waves.

There were several loud bangs on the river, and the huge splash even threw several sailors from the river to the shore.

The warships that were not attacked immediately knew that there was a sneak attack on the shore, and the sailors immediately turned their guns and aimed at the shore, and soon the second wave of unconscionable guns flew out of the alleys on the shore.

The sailors immediately locked onto the target and shelled indiscriminately into the alley. Just after a few shots, the huge explosive bag was thrown into the river again.

There were several loud explosions, some in the air. Although the explosives package did not hit the warship directly, the huge impact force still caused serious damage to the soldiers and buildings on the warship. Many sailors were also shocked to death.

The red-eyed warships immediately retreated and attacked both sides. At this time, Major General Shiozawa, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army attacking Shanghai, was standing proudly on the deck basking in the sun.

Shiozawa was blowing a cool river breeze and humming the legendary tune of Tokyo, Japan, and he was already looking forward to the occupation of Shanghai in the afternoon.

The immortal feats, the congratulations of the bigwigs of the Admiralty, the praise of the cabinet dignitaries one by one, the personal presentation of medals by His Majesty the Emperor, and the envious and jealous eyes of the mud-legged men of the Eastern Army.

By the way, there's also the sycophant flattering compliment of Nomura Kichizaburo. "Hmph, my brother will ignore him then." Without a navy, it would be impossible for Shanghai to withstand the attack of large ships and artillery. I'll just wait for the victory.

But just as he was enjoying the moment, several explosions suddenly came from a nearby warship, and then he noticed that his flagship, the Izumo, seemed to have an explosion underneath it.

But fortunately, it only caused a few violent vibrations of the ship's hull, and it did not cause much damage, but the warship next to it seemed to be seriously damaged, and many crew members had already fallen into the water.

Just when Shiozawa was shocked, they must have been attacked by frogmen. Suddenly, several huge black dots flew from the small alley by the river in the distance.

Shiozawa, knowing that something was wrong, immediately fled to the ship's turret to take refuge, and then he heard a loud explosion nearby, and the Izumo shook several times. Then Shiozawa Yuki felt that his head was black and unconscious.

I don't know how long later, he found himself lying in the captain's room, and the deputy captain and several big captains in front of him were talking desperately with their mouths open, but he didn't seem to hear anything.

Soon, the deputy captain brought a blank piece of paper with a sneak attack on many warships on the river, and at the same time the various attacking units of the Japanese army were seriously frustrated, they all asked for tactical guidance, Shiozawa Yuki only felt that he was lucky to be alive, where there was still time to guide them, the enemy's attack water section was not clear, and staying here could only be used as a target for the Chinese.

He stood up with difficulty, picked up a pen and wrote on a piece of paper: "The fleet withdrew from the Huangpu River and went into the sea to take refuge.

All marines, armed merchants retreated to the concession for defense. In addition, immediately send a telegram to the country requesting reinforcements. ”

After writing these orders, Shiozawa Yuki's body went limp, and he fainted again. The moment he fainted, he thought "It's over, this time I've got that guy from Nomura Kichizaburo for a lifetime." ”
