"Step aside."
"No, we'll hit our allies."
"Then slow down."
"It's too late. We're about to collide."
Torpedoes could deal a fatal blow to a warship. The Japanese warships that were targeted were all hit by torpedoes without exception. Two cruisers, one destroyer, and a bomber above them.
After releasing the torpedoes and bombs, the pilots began to return. After a while, the fighter squadron that confirmed the results of the battle also chose to return.
There was no need for a second wave of attacks. The Yangtze River Estuaries 'navigation channel had already been blocked by these sunken ships. Without salvage work, there was no way to pass through. It should be known that the depth was only about 10 meters. With the size of the cruisers, it would be difficult to block the navigation channel.
Sacrificing a fighter jet to sink three enemy ships was a great achievement. Through the message on his phone, Wei Chenghongyi already knew the results of the aerial combat. It was his first time fighting, and he had won.
After hearing the captain's words, Wei Chenghong gave up on the second wave of attack. He didn't need to do anything. Someone would take care of the Japanese navy.
The firing of the cannons had already begun to extend. The foreigners looked at the Hongkou concession that had been bombarded with fear. The number of Japanese citizens who had died was countless. In the end, all of them ran to the concession next door.
The last nail of the Japanese in Shanghai had been pulled out, and the 3,000 marines had become cannon fodder under the cannons. A single shot from the main cannon of the Proud Heaven could create a huge crater, and the killing range was 100 meters wide.
At eleven o'clock in the morning, Wei Chenghong said,"It's almost time to stop."”If Wei Chenghong didn't have the system, he wouldn't have been able to fire so many shells. The Japanese navy would have been heartbroken by such a consumption.
After the battle, Wei Chenghong had gained more than 5000 experience and 80,000 silver coins. However, he still lost some silver coins. The main cannon of the Pride had fired more than 200 rounds, and the number of rounds from the secondary cannon was countless.
Wei Chenghong, who was pulling Tatsumi Hengshan out of the bridge, looked at the smoky Shanghai in the distance. The light of the Oriental Pearl had become dimmer and dimmer, especially after the outbreak of the Pacific War. The city had basically lost its former glory and became dull.
At this moment, in Shanghai, the commanders of the various armies were waiting for orders from their superiors. They did not know anything about the bombardment at Hongkou, so they did not dare to act rashly. Although the warships on the river were all flying the White Sun Flag, China did not have such a naval fleet.
Wei Chenghong and Tatsumi stood on the island for a while. As the sun was a little hot, Wei Chenghong, who cared about the girl's thoughts, went to the officer's cafeteria with Tatsumi. The living facilities on the Proud Heaven were not very good. If it was a Yamato class battleship, it would be much more comfortable. There was enough space inside the Yamato class battleship. The commander had a special office and room. Its same class battleship, Musashi, was known as the Musashi Hotel. This meant that the living standards of the Yamato class battleship were not bad.
While Tatsumi was eating Japanese cuisine, Wei Chenghong, who had no interest in her, chose to eat fried steak with a glass of red wine. He had dinner with the girl. The officers around him were already used to it and chose to ignore it. They would definitely not eat the dog food.
"Report, my ship has received a call from China's Shanghai Army's General Command. They hope that our ship can dock tomorrow morning. The commander of the Shanghai War Zone, Feng Tianbao, hopes to meet the commander.”The messenger found Wei Chenghong who was eating and said to him directly.
After thinking for a moment, Wei Chenghong decided to go ashore. Since he was in this era, he couldn't avoid these things. He couldn't stay on the ship forever. He had to go ashore, right?
"Call me back. I'll be there at nine tomorrow morning. Tell them to do their security work well. I don't want those Japanese agents to shoot me in the head.”Wei Chenghong put down the goblet and said to the messenger, emphasizing the issue of safety. After all, the Japanese spies left a deep impression on people, and it could be said that it was impossible to guard against them.
Wei Chenghong was very clear about the Chinese military's thoughts. The navy and air force had always been the weakness of the national government, especially the navy, which was a money-burning thing.
Hongkou had been bombarded, and the battleship had been sunk. It was impossible for the Japanese to not do anything. The large Japanese fleet led by Ruao Nagato was on their way to Shanghai. Previously, the Gaoxiong had abandoned its allies and fled. Due to the pressure from the fishing vessel, the captain of the Gaoxiong had committed suicide by dismembering himself. However, no one in the navy believed that he had done anything wrong. Under such circumstances, the Gaoxiong would have died even if it had not fled.
The main force of the Shanghai army was all escorted by these warships. The navy hated the land army, but without the escort of the navy, Wei Chenghong could use his fleet to send the land army into the sea to feed the fish. Therefore, the Japanese Emperor strictly ordered the navy to escort the land army to the battlefield of Shanghai.
The warships that had appeared out of nowhere were also under investigation. Judging from the shape of the warships, most of them were their own ships that had served. Could it be that there was a problem within the navy? For this reason, the Japanese Navy Minister, Mitsumanasa Minami, had specially investigated the internal affairs of the navy. Other than discovering some vermin, there were basically no major problems.
The afternoon in Shanghai was very peaceful, except for the Japanese citizens. Their property was completely destroyed by the bombardment of the cannons. Some foreigners were helping them clean up the ruins and save some survivors. The Hongkou concession had become a living hell.
After nightfall, the public concession and French concession were still singing and dancing. The rich spent money like dirt, while the poor worked hard to earn money to support their families. However, due to the war in Shanghai, foreign trade had decreased greatly, and it was difficult to find a job.
Because of the complete annihilation of the Japanese Marine Corps, Shanghai was temporarily calm. However, all of this was an illusion. There were flames everywhere in North China, and the Pingjin area was in danger.
Standing on the top of the island, Wei Chenghong observed Magic City with his binoculars. The brightly lit areas were all concessions.
"What a beautiful city. As expected of the National Government's money bag. No wonder Baldy is willing to protect Shanghai at all costs.”Ever since Shanghai was opened to trade in the last century, decades of development had made Shanghai the financial center of Asia. It had a very glorious past. Even today, Shanghai was still one of the top cities in the world.
Unfortunately, this city relied on foreigners to prosper. The abnormal economic development of the Shili Yangchang was like a history of suffering for the Chinese people. Wei Chenghong knew very well that the money came with blood.
"I didn't expect to return to the past with such an identity. I wonder what will happen tomorrow.”Wei Chenghong looked at the stars in the sky. The industrial pollution in this era was not that serious, so the stars could still be seen clearly.
