He handled the spy incident in Jinling.
Hao Luo returned to Shanghai.
Compared to his trip back to Jinling, his trip back to Shanghai was much more secretive.
The actions of the Fire Country's navy that followed did not have much to do with him.
The Fire Country's navy wanted to cut off the Japanese's Chang Jiang Squadron in the middle and upper reaches of the Chang Jiang, not because Luo Hao did not want to participate, but because he had no way of participating.
Even though Hao Luo had a heavy artillery battalion, it was no threat to the Japanese's Changjiang Fleet.
The flagship of the Japanese's Changjiang Fleet was a heavy cruiser with a displacement of 8,000 tons. Moreover, there were problems with the coordination of the navy and the Jiangyin Fortress.
This problem was not something that Hao Luo could change.
Hao Luo could only hope that the spies in Jin Ling City and those who were bribed by the little ghosts would not have the chance to leak the secret and change history.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have had the ability to take out the Japanese's Changjiang Fleet, which had as many as eighty ships.
After returning to Shanghai, Hao Luo immediately went to the Special Task Force's station.
At the same time, he also brought the 4th Battalion and the guards over.
Currently, the Special Task Force consisted of four mechanized infantry battalions and a guard company. Luo Hao had also taken out all 100 M38 Wolfhound armored vehicles.
If Hao Luo used the Armored Battalion Enlistment Card or Mechanized Infantry Battalion Enlistment Card, he could also directly obtain the M38 Wolfhound armored vehicle.
However, the tanks of the tank battalion had yet to be found.
As for the Heavy Artillery Battalion and the Air Defense Battalion, there were no problems. In the system store, although there were no armored vehicles, tanks, or planes, there were cannons.
Currently, there were a few types of cannons for sale in the mall.
The first type was the 75mm field cannon, the 75mm Type 92 Infantry Cannon, which was the type of artillery used by the Japanese infantry. There were also the 75mm mountain cannon, the 75mm field howitzer, and other lighter artillery.
There were also many cannons with a caliber smaller than 75mm, mainly anti-tank cannons and anti-air cannons. Of course, there were also 75mm anti-air cannons.
There were two types of large-caliber artillery. One was the 105mm howitzer, and the other was the 155mm howitzer. Both were heavy artillery.
Among them, the 105mm howitzer weighed more than four tons and could only be towed by trucks.
The 155mm howitzer weighed nearly seven tons, so it had to be towed by a truck to be transported. There was no way to disassemble it.
These two types of cannons were relatively old. In World War II, they were considered average. Compared to the cannons of the same level equipped by the Japanese heavy artillery regiment, they did not have much of an advantage in terms of range, firing speed, and accuracy.
Hao Luo wasn't too disappointed. Although these cannons weren't that great, they were very cheap.
A 105mm Howitzer was priced at 5 points, while a 155mm Howitzer was priced at 10 points.
With one shot, he would be able to recoup his losses.
Moreover, the cannonballs were very cheap. One point could buy 100 cannonballs.
The Heavy Artillery Battalion that Hao Luo had yet to recruit used these two types of cannons.
A heavy artillery battalion was equipped with 12 105mm howitzers and 12 155mm howitzers.
In terms of firepower, it surpassed a Japanese heavy artillery battalion.
However, because the cannons were quite powerful, Luo Hao would only wait for the battle to break out before calling out the Heavy Artillery Battalion. He could deploy them directly to avoid the difficulty of transferring them.
It was not that the Special Task Force did not have trucks that could pull heavy cannons. The problem was the roads. They were full of holes. It was not easy to move heavy cannons.
This was also the reason why at the later stages of the Battle of Songhu, when the Fire Country's army was retreating from Shanghai, they had no choice but to throw away a heavy artillery regiment's artillery. It was simply too difficult to transport them.
The cannons of this era were not as light as modern cannons.
Especially the 155mm howitzer, it was very heavy and cumbersome to operate.
To Hao Luo, such a cheap cannon didn't need to consider the problem of transferring it. He could just take it out and shoot it, and then blow it up without any heartache.
For the next period of time, Hao Luo quietly stayed in the encampment every day.
He signed in once a day and spent 3,000 points to recruit 300 elite spies to hide in Shanghai.
With these 300 spies as the foundation, they would establish an intelligence station for the Special Task Force in Shanghai.
At this moment, Hao Luo only had 2,000 points left.
Unknowingly, another half a month had passed.
In the past half a month, Hao Luo had signed in every day, but his harvest was mediocre. There was no surprise at all.
The operation against the Japanese's Changjiang Fleet failed in the end.
Even though the information was not leaked, the Japanese's Changjiang Squadron was able to evacuate the Chinese citizens very smoothly. They passed through the Jiangyin Fortress without encountering any obstructions.
As for the Fire Country's navy, which had not received any official orders, they did not attack the Chang Jiang Squadron.
By the time the navy headquarters received the news and hurriedly issued the order to attack, the Japanese's Changjiang Squadron had already left Jiangyin Fortress.
The battle plan against the Japanese's Changjiang Fleet had already lost its meaning before it even began.
Hao Luo wasn't disappointed at all because he was already mentally prepared.
A few minutes after Hao Luo received the news that he had failed to intercept the Japanese's Changjiang Fleet, an order from Baldy was delivered to Hao Luo.
The attack on the 3,000 marines in Shanghai would begin tomorrow.
The Special Task Force would be the vanguard and attack the Japanese's Marine Corps 'defense line in the Hongkou area.
And two days ago, the Japanese's Third Fleet had already moved towards the Huangpu River's mouth, and their cannons were already aimed at the Fire Country's army encampment and defense line in Shanghai.
It also included the Special Task Force's encampment and defense line.
At the same time, despite the lack of heavy weapons, the Japanese gathered thousands of retired soldiers from the overseas Chinese and business groups and armed them. The actual number of soldiers reached 4,000.
The national team announced that there were 10,000 Japanese soldiers in Shanghai.
Then, Hao Luo also received an order to cooperate with the Special Services Division. The Special Services Division was responsible for attacking Hongkou Park, the Japanese Marine Corps headquarters on Jiangwan Road.
At the same time, the 87th and 88th divisions under Zhang Zhizhong's command, as well as two heavy artillery regiments (equipped with 150mm howitzers), would also cooperate to attack the Japanese in Hongkou.
