As soon as he heard the fat man's attitude, he immediately ordered the Jiang Defense Fleet to disperse in battle formation, and the armed fishing boats and gunboats behind caught up, intending to have a showdown with the old enemy on the opposite side here at the mouth of the Yangtze River.
At this moment, the signal soldier on a river defense warship in front of him came to the situation, saying that there seemed to be a fleet next to the Second Fleet, and looking at those ships, they were not small, they were definitely not Kuomintang warships, but probably the fleet of foreign devils.
When Deputy Commander Li saw this situation, he hurriedly said to the fat man: "Division Commander Liu, we are in big trouble, there is still a fleet of foreigners next to the Kuomintang Second Fleet on the opposite side, and we can't let go of the fight now, in case those foreign devils intervene in it, what should we do?"
Deputy Commander Li stayed in the Kuomintang Navy for a long time, and was a little afraid of those arrogant and domineering foreign devils.
But what kind of person is the fat man, last time on the Yangtze River in Jiangyin, his first division infantry did not participate in the shelling of the British warship, regretted that he wanted to die, watching Zhang Ercheng and them bombard the foreign devil warship with cannons, the fat man was envious, this time he finally met the foreign devil warship, just to have a good time, how can he let it go so easily Not to mention that the actual commander of this land and water operation is still his fat man, as soon as he heard that Deputy Commander Li was going to retreat, the fat man was anxious, and hurriedly said to him: "Lao Li, if you are afraid, Then retreat, let my gunboats and armed fishing boats go up and beat them first, don't look at the foreign devils are aggressive, in fact, there are no flowers, last time on the Jiangyin River, the two foreign devil warships were not bombarded by our artillery to hang up the white flag and surrender When you encounter this kind of master who bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard, you have to beat them hard, so that they will be honest, otherwise they will not have fun to trouble you" The fat man is ready to throw off his arms and do a big job, and he doesn't even care about his landlubber infantry brothers of the first division on the ship, Deputy Commander Li's worries are not unreasonable, the current situation is not the same as the shelling of British warships on the Jiangyin River, that is shore artillery against warships, the People's Liberation Army relies on more people and more artillery, although most howitzers cannot fire armor-piercing shells, causing fatal damage to British warships, but those high-explosive grenades are densely smashed on British warships and killed the British captain on the spot, indicating that the British warships can still be beaten with more guns and fewer bullets to surrender under the white flag, but that is a group fight with absolute superiority.
It is said that at that time, the old Liao of the fort on the south side of the river bank also took the opportunity to fire artillery bombardment at the British warships, and the brothers on the fort were not angry with the flaunting power of the foreign devils, and dared to break into the inland river to provoke, and the two sides of the civil war fired at the British warships at the same time, and they had an absolute advantage, so that the two British warships could only be beaten if they had any good fruit to eat, and if they had not hung out the white flag, they might have been sunk on the Yangtze River to feed the fish.
Judging from the number of warships alone, where are the enemy's opponents for the Jiangfang fleet and the fat man's small gunboats and broken fishing boats, Deputy Commander Li is a naval expert, and he knows how many pounds and taels he has in his foundation, unlike a stunned young man like the fat man, who has to go up and fight with the enemy's fleet on the sea, and has passed the addiction of beating up foreign devil warships.
Deputy Commander Li had no choice, insisted on sending a telegram to ask Zhou Wu to speak, but the fat man refused, he knew that once the telegram asked Zhou Wu, then it was estimated that the matter would be yellow, and Zhou Wu would definitely not agree to take the risk, after all, there was still a whole division of landlubber infantry in the fleet, and it was difficult to come out of the big basket.
So the fat man's stubbornness was committed, and in the name of the commander-in-chief of the operation, he ordered the fleet to meet it and prepare for battle Under his series of flag orders, the warships of the entire river defense fleet pounced on the Kuomintang Second Fleet on the opposite sea in a goose formation, and the fat man's gunboats and armed fishing boats also caught up, and the fishing boats of the landlubber infantry also rushed over to join in the fun.
The master who did not believe in evil spirits, as soon as he heard that the Kuomintang warship had been found in front of him, he asked to go forward and fight one by one, completely forgetting that he was a landlubber at all, and he felt a little dizzy even when he took the boat, and it was really fatal to go forward and fight hard.
Not to mention, when he saw the opposite fleet showing his formation, and was going to pounce on it to fight hard, Commander Lin of the Kuomintang Second Fleet was a little weak-hearted, this time he took the fleet to the open sea near Shanghai not to find a dry fight, and he didn't know that he would meet the fleet at this time, they came to Shanghai this time to escort the ships that took the gold assets in the Shanghai bank to Taiwan, and the warship next to it was the British Far East Fleet, after being beaten by the People's Liberation Army on the Jiangyin River last time, The British, who had suffered a big loss, always felt that they couldn't swallow this breath, and it was too embarrassing to surrender to the white flag in their eyes, and they were scolded half to death by the British people, and the British had no choice but to order the Far East Fleet stationed in Hong Kong to go north again, and come to the mouth of the Yangtze River to march in arms, and make a show to the people in the country, our British Empire's prestige is still there, don't scold.
In this way, the British fleet had just arrived on the open sea at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and Commander Lin's second fleet just escorted the warships full of gold and money to sail out, which was considered an allied force, and the Kuomintang warships said hello to the British warships, and the two fleets were driving side by side at the mouth of the Yangtze River.
Have the ability to go heads-up At the moment when the warships of the Jiangfang Fleet were rushing forward with full speed and rudder in battle formation, Deputy Commander Li kept an eye on it and quietly sent a sealed telegram to Zhou Wu on the shore, telling Zhou Wu that they had encountered the Kuomintang fleet and the British fleet on the sea, and that Division Commander Liu insisted on fighting and was estimated to be in trouble When Zhou Wu heard this, he felt that the fat man was going to do something big like this, and even the infantry of the first division would suffer, so he hurriedly sent a telegram to the fat man, asking him to immediately stop attacking the enemy fleet and quickly move closer to Taicang and land ashore.
At this time, the fat man was about to rush up and fight hard with the Kuomintang fleet, where could he care about paying attention to Zhou Wu's order to evacuate, he pressed down the telegram, pretended not to know, and continued to rush towards the Kuomintang Second Fleet with fishing boats and gunboats, this time he had to beat those foreign devils, he knew that there would be no such shop in this village, and now he just hit his gun, he would be stupid if he didn't fight, and he would definitely regret it in the future Seeing the PLA fleet rushing towards his side, Commander Lin became more and more empty-hearted, and hurriedly ordered the fleet to speed up and run towards the East China Sea, originally he thought that there was the British Far East Fleet next to his fleet, forgive those broken ships who would not rush over rashly no matter how bold they were, he never thought that he was unlucky, but he ran into a fat man who was not afraid of the sky and the earth, he didn't care whether he could fight or not, how was the equipment, since he had bumped into it, then he would see the red with the bayonet, and at this moment even Zhou Wu's telegram order did not work, Because soon the PLA fleet was already within the range of artillery, and the two sides only had to open fire from any side of the fire.
In the end, Commander Lin finally couldn't bear the fat man's desperate posture rushing over, and hurriedly ordered the fleet to turn around and run towards the open sea, poor transport ships full of gold and property saw that the warship ran away, and also drove with full horsepower to follow the run, but unfortunately the speed was not as fast as the warship, and soon fell behind, the fat man saw that all the Kuomintang warships turned around and fled, and said triumphantly to Deputy Commander Li: "Lao Li, you see, the Kuomintang warship is like that bear, and before we have fired, they turned around and fled, haha, let's hurry up and catch up." and take the lonely ships to the prisoners."
Deputy Commander Li was pleasantly surprised at the moment, he didn't expect that the Fujianese people of the old enemy would run so fast, and he originally planned to fight with them to break the net, but now it seems that as this Humpty Dumpty Division Commander Liu expected, the Kuomintang Navy is now full of grass and trees, and it is not a joke that such a team can hold the mainland and win the battle Deputy Commander Li immediately ordered several large warships of the Jiangfang Fleet to quickly approach and capture the few enemy transport ships that had already fallen behind.
These large warships in the hands of Deputy Commander Li are actually just 1,000-ton cannon ships, not even the level of destroyers, but they are much larger than those gunboats and armed fishing boats brought by the fat man, and the speed is also very fast, and it didn't take long for them to catch up with those lone enemy transport ships, and began to shout to those ships with loudspeakers: "Brothers on board, you are surrounded by our East China People's Liberation Army Fleet, don't try to make useless resistance, immediately disarm and surrender, otherwise you will bear the consequences."
Originally, in this situation, the transport ships had lost the protection of the escort warships, and they had no ability to resist the PLA ships at all, so they still honestly disarmed and surrendered, and it was a big deal to be a prisoner, and under the PLA's consistent policy of giving preferential treatment to prisoners, the Kuomintang naval officers and men on these transport ships would not suffer much.
However, the head of the escort ship this time was a colonel in the Kuomintang Secret Bureau, this guy had a problem with his brain, and when he saw that his ship was surrounded by a geotechnical ship, what he thought of was not to immediately disarm and surrender, but to roll his eyes around, and he started to think crookedly. t1706231537:
