Thunderous booms kept coming from the port of Shanghai!
They couldn't hide it from the Japanese commander!
On the battlefield in Shanghai, the highest commander of the Japanese, Matsui Jugen, was having a battle meeting in the command center!
An adjutant hurriedly entered the conference room!
"Report!"
"Speak!"
"Sir Commander, the First Fleet of the Flower Navy has appeared outside the port of Shanghai and is bombarding our frontline troops!”
"Nani?"
Matsui Jugen immediately stood up from his chair!
"How could they appear here?”
This was Matsui Jugen's first reaction because the Japanese intelligence department had received the news!
Yu Zhiqian's Sun Destroyer and New Origin had appeared near the island!
Although there were no traces of the other warships, during the battle at the Subdue Tiger Reef, more or less a few warships were injured. They should be undergoing maintenance at this time!
Why would he appear on the battlefield of Shanghai?
"Report!"
"Speak!"
"Commander, the 13th division has been bombarded by heavy artillery. Major General Di Zhou Li has died!”
"Report!"
"Speak!"
"Commander, the 27th Brigade has been bombarded by heavy artillery, and the brigade commander, Matsuo Haseya, has been killed!”
"Report!"
“……”
There were constantly signalmen entering the conference room to report the latest situation!
Matsui clenched his fists tighter and tighter!
There was no good news!
Every signalman reported that a division, exploration team, or regiment had been bombarded!
One major general, one regiment commander, and two regiment commanders had already died!
There were also more than ten squadrons that had lost contact!
More than half of the Japanese soldiers on the battlefield in Shanghai had been lost!
"Report!"
"Enter!"
Another signalman entered!
Matsui Jugen no longer had any strength left!
After saying that weakly, he closed his eyes, wanting to hear the bad news again!
There was no way to continue this battle. The enemy's four battleships were floating on the sea!
As long as they gathered their forces here, they would immediately be bombarded!
Matsui Juku was very clear about the power of a battleship's main cannon!
A few days ago, he had been calling for support from the cannons to open up the densely defended position of the Flower Garrison!
However, he did not expect that in just a few days, the tables would turn!
Now it was their turn!
"The latest order from the headquarters has been to mobilize a total of 150 road bomber sorties and 40 fighter jets from North China. They are currently supporting Shanghai. We need to confirm the location of the enemy fleet and ensure the safety of Hongqiao Airport's logistics!”
Matsui's ten eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this!
The headquarters had not given up on them!
After receiving the news, they immediately mobilized 150 bomber planes!
Thinking of this, Matsui Jugen couldn't help but clench his fist and wave it twice.""Long live the Heavenly Locust!"
Then, he began to issue new battle orders!
Before the reinforcements arrived at Shanghai's Hongqiao Airport, they would not clash head-on with the Flower Garrison!
On the other side, the Flower Garrison finally found out where the cannon was fired from after investigation!
Because the devils did not dare to gather, they retreated to Hongqiao and captured tens of thousands of ordinary people as cover. Only then did they get a short breather!
The garrison troops easily took back the territory they had lost some time ago! They had recaptured most of Shanghai!
They also saw Yu Zhiqian's fleet floating on the sea in some places near the sea!
However, the entire port area of Shanghai had been completely occupied by Yu Zhiqian!
While they were bombarding the Japanese troops, the Japanese squadron that was stationed near the port was also easily taken care of!
Ten landing crafts, carrying 2,000 marines and 100 light tanks, landed at the location of the future Pu Dong International Airport!
At this moment, this area was still a wasteland!
There was no one around!
There was still some distance to Shanghai!
However, this area was designated as a military restricted zone by Yu Zhiqian, and he had built a third naval base here, the Shanghai Navy Base!
Moreover, Yu Zhiqian was preparing to upgrade this naval base to a main base!
The naval base on the isolated island would be the auxiliary, while the naval base in Shanghai would be the main.
After the completion of the Shanghai naval base!
Yu Zhiqian began to build all kinds of naval buildings around the Shanghai naval base!
These were the things that Yu Zhiqian wanted to build on the naval base on the deserted island in Zhoushan!
For example, the Navy Training Center!
This place could allow clone soldiers to advance their studies. Clones who had made contributions could advance their studies and become officers!
Other than that, ordinary people could also come and study naval tactics!
Yu Zhiqian had also built two shipyards!
The function of the shipyard was to provide the materials needed to build warships. They could build different models of warships!
For example, the construction of an Iowa-class battleship required 80,000 tons of special steel and various other materials. As long as these materials were available, the shipyard could build an Iowa-class battleship bit by bit!
The construction time was also far longer than the direct construction of the naval base, requiring nearly two months!
However, there was an advantage that a naval base did not have!
They could train shipbuilding talents!
This was what Yu Zhiqian valued the most!
Other than that, the shipyard did not need military credits. Repairing the warships could save Yu Zhiqian military credits!
