Chen Shaokuan is in Nanjing, and the specific battle is definitely not him, but the naval speedboat brigade that is still struggling to fight in Shanghai.

The torpedo boat lurking in Shanghai had already set off immediately after receiving the order.

This torpedo boat is imported from the UK by the National Government by the National Government, with a total length of 18.28 meters, a waterline of 16.76 meters, a width of 3.35 meters, a draft of 0.91 meters, a speed of 34-42 knots, and a range of 300 nautical miles.

The boat's head is equipped with two 533mm torpedo tubes, a 20mm machine cannon, and two dual-mounted 7.62mm "Lewis" machine guns at the tail.

Shi Yiling's captain Wu Taiping, and Yiling's captain Yue Changqing received the order to go to the lower reaches of Wusongkou Fort at five kilometers. All the 28 warships of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet lost their combat effectiveness.

The "Izumo" flagship is isolated and helpless, and it is the best time to destroy it.

The straight line distance from the lurking position of Shi 103 to Wusongkou is twenty kilometers, and the waterway is less than forty kilometers, which is a torpedo boat sailing for 40 minutes at full speed.

In order not to attract attention, Captain Wu and Captain Yue had to advance at ordinary speeds, and it was expected that it would take an hour to reach the battlefield.

The two captains were afraid that the Izumo would run away during this period.

On the airship, Xiao Lei sent the telegram, and she did send it to the newspaper.

She was very clear that the content of this telegram was not the first time as Colonel Stilwell said; instead, the news would be transmitted to the Blue Clothing Club as soon as possible, and she would not know where it would eventually reach.

The reliable information Chen Shaokuan got was the telegram sent by Xiao Lei.

In the office of Chairman Jiang of Nanjing Military Commission, Qian Dajun, the director of the attendant's office, knocked on the door and walked in gently: "Committee! Director Dai has emergency information."

"Let him come in!" Chairman Jiang's voice was exhausted.

The war in Shanghai entered a stalemate stage, and the early advantages of the Kuomintang army had disappeared, which made him very worried.

"Report!" Dai Li shouted outside the door.

"Yunnong! Come in!"

"The report committee member has just received an urgent telegram from Shanghai. Please check it out."

"Is there something big about it on the intelligence line?" Chairman Jiang did not take it over immediately, but just asked lightly.

For him, the frontal battlefield is a big deal, and he can only be seen if there is something particularly important on the intelligence front.

"Commission! A reporter from the Ta Kung Pao, who was interviewed with Colonel Stilwell yesterday, sent a telegram from the airship of the Military Observation Corps.

It was said that just now, at 8:35, the 583rd Regiment ambushed the Third Japanese Navy Fleet two kilometers downstream of the Wusongkou Fort, sinking twelve enemy warships, and injuring sixteen.

Now the third fleet is only the flagship "Izumo" intact, and the rest of the ships have already promoted the power!"

"What? The Third Japanese Fleet is over?" Chairman Jiang jumped up from the seat, rushed to Dai Li in two steps, and grabbed the telegram.

After reading it twice, I felt it was a little dreamy and couldn't help asking: "Yunnong! How accurate is this information?"

"Commission! This reporter is Xiao Lei, a journalist who went to Baoshan yesterday to investigate the airship crash.

She is from our Blue Clothes Club, and today she boarded the airship of the Multinational Military Observatory Corps through her personal relationship with Colonel Stilwell.

The credibility of this telegram is 100%. Dai Li is still very confident in his subordinates.

"Besides! If such information is fake, it will be identified soon, and she doesn't dare!"

"But! Although Wusongkou Fortress has been seized this morning, the fortress no longer has the fortress cannons that can be used, nor does it have other large caliber cannons to use.

How did they do it?" Chairman Jiang still didn't understand.

"Commission! Wei Mingyang, acting battalion commander of the Second Battalion of the 583rd Regiment, yesterday he was a ruthless man who used mortars to knock down 35 Japanese planes.

I think it was his work this time again!"

Chairman Jiang was silent for a moment: "How is the investigation?"

"Committee! This person seemed to appear out of thin air, and no news about him was found out in all places.

but……"

Chairman Jiang shook his hand and signaled not to say it again: "Send this telegram to the aviation headquarters and ask them to send a plane to take a look immediately.

Also, let the navy go and take a look.”

The Navy is operating, and the Air Force is operating.

A plane took off from Shanghai Hongkou Airport and arrived at Wusongkou more than ten minutes later. Gao Zhiqiang flew to Wusongkou with a reconnaissance plane and immediately saw an unforgettable scene.

All the Japanese warships on the river were emitting thick smoke, and they had obviously lost power. What was strange was that there were not many Japanese on the deck to put out the fire.

...

On the battleship "Izumo", Commander Hasegawa Kiyoshi was already angry.

As time passed, it discovered that twelve of the remaining twenty-eight warships of the Navy's Third Fleet had already tilted and sank into the Yangtze River was an irreversible fact.

The other sixteen warships were still following the trend at this time. Although some Japanese were active on the deck, it was obvious that their activities had no effect.

Those destroyers and frigates are still slowly leaving the flagship.

The "Izuyun" has become a mainstay on the Yangtze River, very conspicuous.

At this time, the Izumo had already crossed the river surface. The thick anchor chain fixed the ship of nearly 10,000 tons, and was steadily anchored on the river surface.

With a command, four 303 mm main guns and fourteen 15 mm guns were all bombarded at the National Army artillery position on the shore.

The smoke from the Izumo was filled with smoke, and the smoke from the launching shells made it look a little blurred.

The shells fired from the 303 mm main gun weighed more than 300 kilograms. One shell fell down, and the trees and stones that exploded from the mountain buns flew more than 30 meters high.

One shell after another fell, and the momentum was amazing.

From a distance, I feel scared than seeing it myself! This is what Gu Zuo said to Li Daqiang, Guan Dahai and the others.

These three company commanders were originally huddled in the strongest fortress at Wusongkou Fort, and suddenly felt the artillery stop.

Then he carefully poked out to observe, and at a glance he found that the warships that were still showing off their power on the Yangtze River were all drifting downstream like dead fish.

Only the largest warship was turning around, and they thought the warship was going to escape.

Gu Zuo immediately said: "The camp squad exploded the Japanese warship!"

"It's the battalion commander's method!" Guan Dahai said.

"Can you think of how the camp did it?" Li Daqiang couldn't understand.
Chapter completed!
