Chapter 1152: The pursuers are coming

Shinichi Ito had just gotten up from the bed, and before he could stretch, he was suddenly slammed on the hatch, and he shuddered all over.

After realizing that this was in his commander's cabin, Shinichi Ito stood up angrily, strode to the hatch, opened the door and shouted, "Knock on it, it's not decent at all." Can't you knock on my door gently, is there no politeness! ”

The few officers who knocked on the door were able to manage a lot, and shouted: "Sir, it's not good, something is wrong!" The Wusongkou wharf was bombed, and the entire Wusongkou wharf was completely gone. The two army brigades guarding there and the two regiments of the Imperial Association Army were almost wiped out, and those who escaped were also seriously injured! ”

Shinichi Ito yawned: "What's the matter with us, the army loses battles all day long, and countless people die." Do you need to report me for such a trivial matter? What a fuss. And it's in Wusongkou, what does it have to do with us! ”

Shinichi Ito glared at his subordinates a few times: "Don't bother me with this kind of thing in the future, is there anything worth reporting?" ”

Seeing that Shinichi Ito was about to close the door, the devil officer who reported shouted anxiously: "But sir, it was the warship of our Second Fleet that bombed Wusongkou!"

The door closed halfway abruptly, and Ito Shinichi's hands were shaking. He slammed the door open, then grabbed his men by the collar and yelled, "What did you say? Again, who blew up Wusongkou? Who is it? ”

"It's a warship of our Second Fleet, it's a warship of our Second Fleet!" The captured devil officer repeated loudly.

"How is this possible, how is this possible?" Ito Shinichi roared angrily: "Our second fleet is in the Shandong area, when did you go to Wusongkou?" It's even more impossible to blow up the entire Wusongkou, and we're not sick! ”

"Sir, it was the eight warships that left the fleet last night did it. They had arrived at Wusongkou an hour earlier, and the defenders of Wusongkou had warned them not to enter without permission, and they opened fire, and all the way. Not only did they blow up all the barracks, but they also blew up all the facilities and warehouses at the wharf. The losses are quite heavy! Another devil officer on the side added.

Shinichi Ito's head was about to explode, and the whole person seemed to have been struck by lightning, and he almost couldn't stand on his feet.

His eyes widened in disbelief: "Are those people in Jiangcao crazy?" A warning telegram would blow up the entire port, kill so many army men, and destroy a lot of military supplies. What is this for, is this a rebellion? ”

Until this moment, including Shinichi Ito, all the devils didn't figure it out. Which of the eight warships leaving the fleet was wrong, and isn't such an act tantamount to treason?

The army and navy have a suspicion, and the relationship between the two sides has always been bad, and they are in the midst of open and covert fighting.

But that can only be a secret fight, you kill some people on the other side in private, or set a trap to trap the other party, which is reasonable. Both the Army and the Navy have done the same thing to each other.

But in such broad daylight, it brazenly bombarded friendly ports, killed a large number of friendly troops, and damaged countless military supplies of the army. This is not only treason, but also a clear provocation by the Navy against the Army, and a signal for the Navy to go to war against the Army.

It was really impossible to wash it by jumping into the sea, and eight warships of the Second Fleet went to bombard Wusongkou at the same time, if you want to say that this is a coincidence, the ghost will believe it.

Ito Shinichi's last bit of sleepiness was so frightened that he was thrown into Java, and at this moment, in addition to the six gods and no master, he was left to scold the bastards under him, which was to force himself to death.

At this moment, several guards hurried over from the spiral staircase, and before they could get closer, they shouted: "Sir, Your Excellency the Commander of the East China Sea Command is on the line, asking you to answer the phone immediately!" ”

"Trouble is coming!" Shinichi Ito was left to look up to the sky and sighed, without even wearing clothes, and ran up with the guards. Several officers hurriedly packed their clothes and followed closely behind Shinichi Ito.

There was chaos in the command room, everyone knew the news of the bombing of Wusongkou, and all the senior officers of the Second Fleet came to the flagship to find out what was going on.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Shinichi Ito rushed into the command room and yelled angrily.

Everyone immediately made way for him, and Shinichi Ito tried to calm himself down as much as he could, and strode towards the phone. One of the guards immediately handed him the phone, and when Shinichi Ito took it, his hand trembled a little unconsciously.

"Hello sir, I'm Shinichi Ito, commander of the Second Fleet!" Shinichi Ito stood up sharply and said vigorously.

"Yaga, Shinichi Ito, you bastard, how did you lead the Second Fleet, and actually sent troops to attack Wusongkou. Is your brain full of mush, crammed with poop? On the other end of the phone, the commander of the newly established Tokai Command, who was also Ito Shinichi's immediate boss, yelled loudly.

Ito Shinichi is as aggrieved as he wants: "Sir, it has nothing to do with me, they said they went out for a walk and came back, who knew that those neuropaths actually blew up Wu Songkou, it really has nothing to do with me!" ”

"Going out for a walk? Are you embarrassed to say this kind of thing to me? I sent you to command the troops, not to walk the dogs! You put eight warships and run around, and now you say it has nothing to do with you. Who does that have to do with it, does it have anything to do with me? Did I let them out? The commander shouted irritably on the other end of the line.

Ito Shinichi was completely speechless, he knew that this was the commander looking for someone to carry the black pot and find a replacement for the dead ghost. At this critical moment, such a big thing, who the is willing to carry such a big black cauldron on his back, he Shinichi Ito can only admit that he is unlucky.

Now he is dumb and eats coptis, and he can't tell if he suffers. The people belong to his second fleet, and the warships belong to his second fleet. Now it's time to say that the sky is broken, and he Shinichi Ito is also one of the culprits.

"Sir, I'll go and chase them back immediately, and I won't let them make trouble again!" Shinichi Ito's eyes were blood-red, and he was really angry. Even if you have to carry the black pot, you can't let him carry it alone. None of the eight captains can be spared.

"You'd better chase them all back to me, or none of us will have a hard time!" The commander said viciously on the other end of the phone: "This matter has been stabbed at the military headquarters, and now the army has sent troops to block the gate of our navy, and demand that I must be explained." His Majesty the Emperor was even more furious when he heard this, and called our Admiralty to scold him. Now we are all on the cusp, and if we don't have an explanation, maybe our naval headquarters will be washed away by those army forces. If you don't solve it, I'll be the first to kill you! ”

Shinichi Ito nodded vigorously, but then asked, "But this side of Shandong"

"What do you care about Shandong or not, your life can't be saved, and you still want to fight? Hurry up and get those damn bastards back for me, and knock their heads open to see if they're all poop inside! The commander hung up the phone angrily, and Shinichi Ito was in a daze holding the phone with only a blind voice.

"Sir, what did that say?" After half a minute, finally a ghost officer couldn't help but ask.

Ito Shinichi was stunned for a moment, then hung up the phone heavily, and roared angrily: "All warships immediately set off and pursued Wusongkou." I'm going to grab those eight bastards with my own hands, and I'm going to strangle them one by one! ”

All the remaining warships of the Second Fleet immediately set sail, and all the captains felt a strong pressure on their backs. These people all know that if this matter is not resolved, it will not only be Ito Shinichi who will be unlucky, these chiefs will definitely share all the blame on everyone, don't expect them to carry everything righteously.

Therefore, in order not to be held accountable, in order to be able to spend the rest of your life peacefully. All the captains were furious, obeyed the command of Ito Shinichi, and followed the flagship like a beast and frantically pounced towards Wu Songkou.

The speed of the warships in this era was not very fast, and they only walked most of the distance at noon, and there was still a distance from Wusongkou.

But at this moment, Shinichi Ito received a telegram again.

The content of the telegram was very simple, after the eight warships rushed through the Wusong Pass, they moved very slowly. This was a good thing, but they actually bombed the Japanese defense line on both sides of the river bank all the way.

The guns on the warships have a long range, and the guns on the shore have no way to take them. Eight warships sailed slowly in the Yangtze River, bombing all the way from Shanghai to Changzhou.

There was a mess along the way, and the army suffered heavy losses. Now the army has taken the initiative to withdraw troops on both sides of the Yangtze River to avoid more deaths caused by eight warships.

However, the telegram clearly stated that all the defensive positions of the army on both sides of the riverbank, as well as a large number of warehouses and gas stations that could not be transported, were all blown into ruins.

When Ito Shinai saw this, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. It was only with great difficulty that he helped the guards around him to stand firmly, and his legs were so weak that he couldn't support his body.

"These neuropaths, what the hell are they crazy about? Damn, what the hell are they trying to do? "Shinichi Ito is now crying without tears, and his face is extremely pale.

"Full speed ahead, give me full speed ahead, even if you blow up the engine of the warship, you have to hurry up and catch up with those bastards, we can't let them go crazy like this, or we're all going to be finished!" Shinichi Ito yelled at the top of his voice.

At this time, eight warships had just passed Changzhou and were sailing in the direction of Zhenjiang. As long as you go all the way along the Yangtze River, it will take less than a day to reach Wuhu.

"Sir, there's a telegram from the Second Fleet, telling us to stop all at once. They've all chased after them! The captain came behind Gao Dong and said, now that he has completely followed Gao Dong, he has done so many headless things along the way, he knows that he will never be able to turn back.

"Then wait for them, give them some hope, and don't let them lose it!" Gao Dong smiled faintly.
