Chapter 197 Internal Blocking of News
When Wei Mingyang was about to call for his second bid, he saw two small boats suddenly speeding up and rushing towards the "Izumo".
This speed is not something ordinary boats can drive at, but Xiao Lei shouted in surprise: "Speedboat! Our speedboat!"
Some time ago, the Navy launched a torpedo boat attack on the "Izumo", but it was hit in the tail after a Japanese counterattack, and had to rush to the shore of the public concession to stop.
The soldiers dived away and the torpedo boat slowly sank into the river. Xiao Lei not only witnessed the speedboat sinking into the river.
I also took a lot of photos, so I know the speedboats of the national army very well.
Wei Mingyang saw two speedboats heading directly towards the "Izumo" and said regretfully: "Colonel! Our deal can't be done."
Captain Wu Taiping of the Shi 103 boat and Captain Wu Changqing of the 104 boat Yue Changqing drove towards Wusongkou cautiously. In order not to attract attention, they kept moving at a low speed.
When I just saw a Japanese warship floating on the river without power, I suddenly became excited.
They saw many corpses of Japanese soldiers on the river, and many Japanese soldiers floating on the river, waving to them and shouting for help.
Both captains held back and did not give the order to fire.
Now I see the "Izumo", the flagship of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet, moored in the middle of the river. The deck is blazing with flames, but there is no Japanese on it.
The two captains could no longer bear it and ordered to move forward at full speed.
The last time the Shi-102 boat released a torpedo 400 meters away from the "Izumo", it only damaged the tail of the Japanese warship.
This time they rushed to a position one hundred meters away from the "Izumo", and launched four torpedoes at the center of the battleship.
Soon, four huge water pillars were seen rising, and the "Izumo" shook violently.
The two torpedo boats fired all their torpedoes and immediately turned back, and their machine guns began to fire fiercely at the Japanese on the river.
The two boats carrying radios were reporting to the Navy at the same time: "Boats 103 and 104 released four torpedoes 100 meters away from the "Izumo".
All four torpedoes hit the middle section of the enemy ship. All the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet abandoned the ships, and all the ships were empty."
The two torpedo boats came and left quickly.
They just fired all the way and quickly left this section of the river.
When they arrived, it seemed like they had done nothing except punching a few big holes in the "Izumo".
Wei Mingyang sighed: "One million deal!"
"Wei! I can only give you five hundred thousand!"
"Five million yuan deal! Do you have a check on you?" Wei Mingyang's eyes lit up.
"Five hundred thousand? How can I bring such a large check?" Stilwell was shocked.
"Okay! Delise! You draft an agreement! Reporter Xiao, take the contract and ask the colonel for money immediately after you go back.
I will come to Shanghai to pick it up after I finish this battle.
Dai Lisi, I will give you 10,000 US dollars for drafting the agreement, and Reporter Xiao will give you 50,000 US dollars for collecting the money."
Delise said happily: "Thank you, Camp Commander Wei!"
Reporter Xiao said: "No! I don't need so much."
Her words were a bit ambiguous, but Wei Mingyang ignored it and said: "After you receive it, we can talk about it when we meet. I'm going to the fort."
The bombardment on the fort side was over, and the shells were no longer flying in the air.
Stilwell said: "Wei! I ordered 200,000 rounds of the bullets you want. I estimate it will arrive in ten days and a half.
I gave you this batch of bullets, thank you for saving me yesterday!"
"Thank you! You have helped me a lot!" Wei Mingyang thanked him sincerely.
Said to Stilwell: "I'll leave you a motorcycle!"
Stilwell smiled and said: "There are only fourteen of you, three motorcycles are enough.
Sell the rest of the motorcycles to us!”
Wu Youdao's eyes lit up again. Just now, the camp sold the ships on the river for 500,000 yuan.
"One hundred thousand! Ten motorcycles! I'll ask you to collect the money." Wei Mingyang said.
Stilwell looked at all the reporters: "How are you guys doing?"
Ivanovich said: "Our airship was shot down by the Japanese, and the Japanese should pay for it."
His proposal was immediately agreed upon by all.
When Takahashi Mika saw that everyone was unanimous, she stopped struggling and nodded and said: "Agree!"
At the same time, he said: "Untie it for me!"
She is now someone who owes money. If this national army officer takes her away, the money will not be paid.
It’s the uncle who owes money! It should be the young lady this time!
Wei Mingyang looked at this beautiful woman with regret and said with a smile: "Miss Meixiang! Next time I catch you, I won't let you go so easily.
Also, don’t try to be rude to Miss Xiao, she is mine!”
After saying that, he led the team and rushed towards Wusongkou Fort.
Xiao Lei, blushing and confused, was left stunned on the spot. She wanted to say: "Our relationship is not that good!"
But thinking about Wei Mingyang's marksmanship and the way he's been fighting airplanes and warships in the past two days, it feels great to have such a man protecting him.
Besides, I have to help him collect money, so he should provide some protection.
Stilwell had just sent a distress telegram after getting off the airship.
At this time, he began to send telegrams again: this time he sent them not to Ambassador Johnson, but to the American freight company in the concession.
He told them that he had seventeen warships that needed to be towed back for auction, and the other party promised to send ships to haul them immediately.
Of course Stilwell knew who the other party would invite.
Besides the heavy cruiser USS Augusta, who else dares to tow the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet destroyer?
The freight company he found was originally a supplier of supplies to U.S. warships and also engaged in the arms business.
As long as you dare to sell, they dare to buy.
The manager of this freight company will definitely call for a U.S. Navy cruiser to escort us. It is a paid service. It is a matter of course.
The Navy will not miss this opportunity to make extra money.
Now Stilwell only needs to follow these warships drifting along the current.
After doing all this well, he said to the Soviet military observer Ivanovich: "Colonel! These ladies are left to you.
Please take them back to Shanghai, I want to keep my property."
Delise said: "I'll go with you."
Xiao Lei said: "I'll go with you!"
"I'll follow you!" Takahashi Mika also said.
Ivanovich said very gentlemanly: "Those who are willing to stay will follow Colonel Stilwell, and the rest will follow me! We'd better stay away from the battlefield now.
Recently, Japanese soldiers seem to be very hostile to the multinational military observer group."
This is causing hatred to the Japanese!
Takahashi Mika was really unable to refute. As a secondary victim, Stilwell was injured by the Japanese army twice, so he could indeed say this.
The most important thing is that he has the capital to say so, and the US government is supporting him.
