In early September, Li Fei's army routed Zhejiang's Ning army, captured Suzhou and Hangzhou, and began to march towards Shanghai and Nanjing.

The Ning Mansion was about to fall, and Li Fei boarded the Jiujiang, the flagship of the navy, and the fleet set sail for Nanjing.

Boom, boom, boom. The 203-mm guns on the Jiujiang began a salvo, and then the entire fleet, including the destroyers, fired at the Jiangyin fortress.

Seaplanes on two heavy cruisers catapulted to take off, providing coordinates for the fleet.

The air force also took off from Nanchang and Jiujiang to help.

B-25 bombers rained down fifty pounds*, and Il-2 fighters strafed back and forth over Jiangyin*.

The entire Jiangyin was burned, the coastal defense artillery and artillery of various calibers arranged and installed by the Ning system were completely destroyed, and the defense system inside and outside the city became a pile of ruins.

Four steamers rushed directly to the beach, and the commandos wearing M35 steel helmets and German military uniforms held MP18* and carried fast and slow planes to defeat several enemy troops and establish positions.

Then a battalion of amphibious tanks landed, plus a large number of infantry, artillery, and supplies were transported to the position.

The Ning army completely collapsed, and the commandos conquered Jiangyin that night, and then an entire division of troops began to advance towards Shanghai to join the army in Shanghai.

Subsequently, another army and two divisions swept away the Ning army on the north bank of the Yangtze River, completely isolating Nanjing.

Three days later, the marshal of the Ning system announced that he would go into the field, and Nanjing was in chaos, and the Ning naval fleet announced that it would join the First Fleet established by Li Fei.

Li Fei stayed in Nanjing's Grand Marshal's Mansion, the former Manchu Qing Liangjiang Governor's Palace, and announced that he would be the governor of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

After eliminating the remnants of the Ning Division, Li Fei began to reorganize his army, the new 1st Division was reorganized into the 1st Armored Division, codenamed Hussar, the Jiujiang Garrison was reorganized into the 1st Army Division, and the other units were the 2nd to 11th Infantry Divisions, as well as the 1st Marine Division, the 1st Marine Division, the 2nd Fleet, the 3rd Fleet, and the Air Force 4 wings, plus the enemy's anti-aircraft artillery units.

Zhang Dashuai wants to see me. Li Fei, who was drinking green tea, was stunned.

In the Yellow Sea, two fleets met, one was the First Fleet of the Northern Capital, with dozens of warships, including eight capital ships, and the other fleet had only one capital battleship and several cruiser destroyers, which was weak in comparison.

Damn, this damn big warship is better than the previous broken ships. Zhang Dashuai stood on the bridge of the Dingyuan and sighed.

Yes, how many years have it been that a powerful navy has finally been rebuilt. Shen Honglie, the commander of the fleet on the side, said.

This Li Fei is by no means an ordinary person, he has occupied several provinces in such a short period of time, and he also sent Lao Tzu a fleet. Zhang Dashuai's expression became solemn and said.

Who is behind him? Zhang Dashuai was puzzled again.

On the other hand, Li Fei was also thinking about why Zhang Dashuai proposed this meeting on the flagship Fuxing.

This battleship is the North Carolina-class battleship of the United States Navy in history, a total of two Fuxing and Shuguang, the Shuguang is still in the military port because of the proficiency of personnel, and the newly appointed fleet commander of Li Fei, General Sa Zhenbing, is on the side.

A moment later, Zhang Dashuai swaggered aboard the Fuxing alone.

Played. The military band began to play, and after Zhang Dashuai and Li Fei shook hands, they inspected the navy's honor guard accompanied by Sa Zhenbing.

Brother, you are not righteous. Zhang Dashuai patted Li Fei and said.

The battleship you gave to Lao Tzu is obviously not as good as this one. Zhang Dashuai said that although he didn't know much about the navy, the gap between the Fuxing and the Dingyuan was still obvious, after all, a warship that the United States only equipped in the 40s was also transformed by Li Fei, while Zhang Dashuai was a battleship that Britain started building before World War I and did not renovate.

The handsome man laughed at the little brother, you have a full eight battleships, and I only have two. Li Fei said with a smile.

I see that my brother's army equipment is good, and I want to buy a batch of weapons, but recently the old man Wu has been restless again, and he always creates friction. Zhang Dashuai said that the purpose of his meeting this time was to unite Li Fei to attack Wu Dashuai in the north and south.

This is easy to say, it can be discussed, but the younger brother thinks that the east is my Huaxia henchman. Li Fei pointed to the east and said.

I know that, but the Orientals aren't that easy to deal with. Zhang Dashuai said.

The younger brother plans to go to war with little Japan when the future is ready. Li Fei said.

At this time, many Chinese people are full of fear of Japan, of course, Li Fei is not afraid, what if there are many battlefleets, not to mention that twenty is two hundred battleships, which cannot stop the attack of carrier-based aircraft, and because of the development of battleships, Japan has not paid much attention to aircraft carriers, and the aircraft carrier has only one Fengxiang, as for Akagi Kaga, it has not been converted into an aircraft carrier, it is still a battle cruiser and a battleship.

Because of Li Fei's successful misdirection, the Japanese began to build a new battleship, that is, the Yamato-class battleships, if the Japanese really finished the construction, then they could really defeat the Royal Navy, after all, the British Empire at this time had become a foreign power, and the emerging United States was watching every move in the world in the Americas, looking for opportunities.

The younger brother brought all the best chefs in Nanjing City to the Fuxing, hoping that the handsome would appreciate it, Li Fei said with a smile.

Okay, good, Lao Tzu just wants to try southern food. Zhang Dashuai said.

In the restaurant, Li Fei and Zhang Dashuai tasted food and talked about the division of territory.

In the future, I will defeat the surname Wu, Shandong, and Henan provinces. Zhang Dashuai said firmly.

Hunan, Hubei, Anhui, the little brother took it. Li Fei picked up a piece of meat and said.

OK. Zhang Dashuai said.

The little brother is really going to enjoy it, there is still an ice cream machine on the warship. Zhang Dashuai said.

The officers and men of the Navy are away all year round, and there is nothing wrong with raising their salaries. Li Fei said.

The Beiyang Fleet in the past was because of its greed for pleasure. Zhang Dashuai said.

Not necessarily, the British liked to enjoy it, but their navy defeated one powerful enemy after another. Li Fei retorted.

Since both of us have driven the warship out this time, how about putting on an act. Zhang Dashuai said.

Of course. Li Fei said.

An hour later.

The eight battleships led by the Dingyuan and Zhenyuan fired a salvo that exploded a column of water on the sea.

The turret turned, ready to fire. Li Fei put down the telescope in his hand and said.

The whole battleship was busy, and the 406-mm high-explosive shells were loaded into the breech by the automatic loader, followed by the launch kit.

Fire. Sa Zhenbing ordered.

Boom, boom, columns of water exploded in the sea.

The secondary guns opened fire, and the seaplanes took off. Sa Zhenbing ordered.

Boom, boom, the secondary guns were fired at the same time as the seaplanes on the Fuxing also flew into the sky.

Boom boom boom, cannon fire continued one after another, and the main and secondary guns of the battleship, including the Fuxing, continued to fire.

Damn, this kid is rich, so many shells cost money. Zhang Dashuai sighed.

What is that, airplanes. Shen Honglie pointed to the distance and said.

It's different from ours, it's not two-winged, and it's fucking faster than ours. Zhang Dashuai picked up the binoculars and said.

Conduct air defense exercises. Li Fei ordered.

The fleet was quickly converted into an anti-aircraft shape, and the anti-aircraft guns on the ships fired at the swarm, and colorful smoke exploded in the air.

The Il-2 strike group in the sky scattered and shuttled through the smoke, with wood hanging from the belly of the aircraft*.

Aircraft attack warships. Shen Honglie looked and fell into deep thought.

Reporting to the chief, the radar room spotted Japanese warships, two cruisers. The captain of the Fuxing ran to say.

Interestingly, the power report told them that this is China's territorial waters and leave immediately, otherwise they will be sent to the bottom of the sea.

Japanese cruiser Tenryu.

Baga, the people of China are too arrogant, keep going, I want to see if they dare to open fire. The Japanese captain said arrogantly.

Switch formations and get ready for battle. Li Fei ordered.

What's going on. Zhang Dashuai said in surprise.

The marshal, the review sent a telegram saying that two Japanese warships had been found and were ready to be expelled. Shen Honglie said.

This kid is really you. Zhang Dashuai said with some admiration.

Fire. Li Fei said.

The main guns of the battleships Fuxing, Jiujiang, and Nanchang fired a salvo, blasting columns of water in the distance of the two Japanese cruisers.

This was not the end, the three battleships with automatic loaders continued to fire at an extremely high rate of fire, and blasted a column of water in the distance of the two cruisers.

Turn in, turn in. The captain of the Tenryu wiped his sweat and said, such a large-scale live-fire combined fleet is rare, and their two light cruisers cannot be opponents of battleships.

Hooray, hooray. The officers and men of the First Fleet let out an earth-shattering cheer.

Alas, Shen Honglie looked into the distance and sighed.

The officers and men of the Beiyang Fleet looked at the First Fleet cheering in the distance and fell into deep thought, they seemed to be missing something compared to these peers......
