Chapter 367: Communication Lost
According to the headquarters' operational duty plan, the location of the cruiser at that time should have been in the waters of the Yangtze River, 70 kilometers east of Jiangyin, and there was no sign of the squadron around.
This devil officer didn't understand, so he directly reported this telegram to Hasegawa Kiyoshi, who was busy mobilizing the fleet's large and small warships all over the world to find those squadrons that attacked Hongqiao Airport, and saw that this telegram was sent by the "Shibuya", and there was no sign of squadron activity from other ships near the waters of the Yangtze River, and the "Shibuya" was a heavy cruiser, with a tonnage of tens of thousands of tons and strong armed equipment, even if it was besieged by several armies, it could be more than enough to deal with. What's more, now that the waters of the Yangtze River are completely controlled by the Third Fleet, what danger can the "Shibuya" have, is it that this Watanabe is dissatisfied with this search operation and has made a prank? Ignore him, no time!
In this way, the last hope of Watanabe Devil and his thousands of devils to be rescued was ignored by Hasegawa Kiyoshi, in fact, this is also a complaint Hasegawa Kiyoshi, who let your such a big heavy cruiser easily fall into the hands of a special combat team of only a few dozen people, this is in the eyes of Hasegawa Kiyoshi, who has always been conceited and thinks that his fleet is invincible all over China, this is simply impossible to happen.
Subsequently, telegrams sent by devil planes and other warships conducting reconnaissance near Jiangyin in the waters of the Yangtze River all explained that everything was normal and that the "Shibuya" was cruising along the Yangtze River in the direction of Jiangyin in accordance with the plan of action.
It was the arrogance of the devil naval officers who helped Han Fei and them, when the "Shibuya" that Han Fei was riding on sailed to the river only more than ten kilometers away from Jiangyin, there were no devil ships and planes to intercept it, Han Fei put down the heart hanging in his throat, he happily turned his head to Chen Wan'er behind him and said: "It's done!" This time, we will be, and in half an hour, we will return to the Jiangyin Fort, and immediately send a telegram to the fort, so that the "fox" is ready to pick up the ship! ”
Chen Wan'er hurriedly turned on the radio station she was carrying and began to send a report, but soon said with a sad face: "It's not good, the radio is out of order, and it can't be reported!" ”
"Fix it now! The battery couldn't be contacted, and the division commander thought we were devil warships and wanted to intercept them with artillery! As soon as Han Fei heard the radio release, the beads of sweat the size of soybeans on his head immediately flowed down, this is not a joke, the "Shibuya" is still hung with plaster flags and other flags marking the Japanese Navy, at this moment it is only more than ten kilometers away from the Jiangyin Battery, such a good weather, it is estimated that it has already entered the eyes of the battery observation post at this time, if those large-caliber Krupp cannons bombard, then they will have to eat and walk around, and suffer from their own people's cannonballs!
Chen Wan'er was also drenched in sweat, and hurriedly tinkered with the radio station, but it still didn't work, Han Fei saw this, hurriedly called Zhao Yongfu, and ordered him: "The radio communication is faulty, and the radio on the ship is also unusable, you immediately take a few people, take the small motorboat on the ship, quickly go to the direction of the battery, find the "fox" as soon as possible, explain the situation, and be fast, understand?" ”
Zhao Yongfu nodded hurriedly, he could guess from Han Fei's expression that this time it was estimated that he was in big trouble, ironically, this trouble did not come from the Japanese devils, but from his own side, because the communication could not be contacted, maybe he would have to suffer from the cannonballs on his own fort at any time!
Zhao Yongfu hurriedly found three capable subordinates, put down the motorboat on the warship, drove at full speed, and drove towards the direction of Jiangyin Fort at full speed, and it happened that the motorboat was discovered by the devil reconnaissance plane that kept flying back and forth in the sky, and they sent this situation to the Third Fleet Command in Shanghai.
Hasegawa Kiyoshi immediately ordered the reconnaissance plane to inquire about the "Shibuya", and ordered those nearby devil warships to approach and inquire about the "Shibuya", this kid Watanabe is too incredible, he can't let him do stupid things!
The devil plane immediately sent an inquiry to the "Shibuya" below through the radio, and naturally he could not receive any reply, and the other devil warships were the same, and they could not receive any reply about the "Shibuya", Hasegawa Kiyoshi This old devil deserved to be an old Jianghu, from these situations he vaguely felt that something was wrong with the situation, so he hurriedly ordered two nearby cruisers to catch up and force the "Shibuya" to stop for inspection and interrogation, what was going on?
Of course, Han Fei is also anxious at the moment, he is afraid now that the brothers on the turret don't understand that this warship has been snatched by himself, if he smashes the cannonballs, he will be finished, although the devil's cruiser has thick skin and armor outside, but it still can't withstand the bombardment of the large-caliber fortress shells on a few turrets that are specially designed to deal with warships, fortunately, the warship can still move, in case it is unfortunate to be shelled by the battery, it is better to run away and avoid it for a while.
At this time, Deputy Li Platoon hurriedly came to report: "The brother who lookout reported that there was a devil plane with lights on our side, and it seems that the devil plane found something wrong?" ”
When Han Fei heard this, his head was a lot bigger, it was really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, and he was worried that his own people's batteries would hit an oolong bomb, and the devil plane was eyeing him again, as soon as the plane came, the nearby devil warship would definitely come up, good guy, it was lively now.
"What to do?" Deputy Li Pai asked.
"Don't bother with them, wait for Zhao Lian and Deputy Zhao to contact the fort." Han Fei could only deal with it like this at the moment.
"Also, pay close attention to the air situation, find the devil plane coming, prepare for air defense!" Han Fei is most worried about the devil plane, although the cruiser has anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns, but these garbage anti-aircraft guns of the little devils can't deal with the dive bombing of the aircraft, once the cruiser is targeted by the devil bomber, then he and his subordinates have no other way but to abandon the ship.
The devil reconnaissance plane in mid-air kept sending inquiry signals to the "Shibuya" on the river, but it did not receive any reply, and the devil plane felt that it was abnormal and hurriedly reported to the fleet headquarters.
