Chapter 911: Night Bombing
"Yaga!" Okamura Ninji's face immediately fell.
The Third Fleet will not go south sooner or later, but at this time it will go south!
Since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, the Third Fleet of the Navy first came to China, and then the Fourth Fleet also came to reinforce it, and for nearly a year after that, both fleets have been stationed in Shanghai.
The Fourth Fleet was not equipped with an air force, and only the light cruisers Tianlong and Longtian were each equipped with a water reconnaissance plane.
Of course, water reconnaissance planes can also carry out combat missions, but their flight range is shorter and their bomb load is smaller, so their lethality is weaker than that of attack planes.
At this time, Inu Yangjian suddenly said: "Your Excellency General, can you transfer the attack aircraft team on the Nanchang front line back?" Even if the planes at Anqing Airport and Jiujiang Airport are counted, the several flight teams stationed at the three airports in Wuhan are equipped with Type 96 long-range land attack planes, but they are sufficient to bomb the Yinjiang River. ”
"It's absolutely not going to work!" Okamura Ningji categorically refused this, "Not to mention that from Wuhan to Yinjiang, it is more than a thousand miles away, this is a night flight, and it is easy to get lost!" Even if it does not get lost, the aerial bombs of the 3rd Flying Regiment are also rationed, and priority must be given to ensuring the Battle of Nanchang. ”
For Okamura Ningji, the importance of the Battle of Nanchang and the hundreds of thousands of tons of grain on the Zhenhai Wharf is absolutely incomparable, so he will not do the stupid thing of picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons!
At that moment, Okamura Ninji said: "Kagesa-kun, and Inukai-kun, hurry up and contact the navy, and ask them to send these two water reconnaissance planes to bomb the town harbor, remember, you must use sulfur bombs!" Besides, let the Fourth Fleet of the Navy immediately dispatch warships to block Wusongkou, and strictly prohibit ferries transporting refugees from leaving the Shanghai Concession! ”
"Hello!" Kagezo Zhenzhao paused heavily, turned around and hurried away.
Okamura Ninji turned his gaze to Inuyangjian again, and said in a deep voice: "Inu-kun, the matter of military rations should be as soon as possible. ”
"Hello!" Inu Yangjian quickly knelt down and stood up, and said with a pause, "I'm going to arrange a transport ship to go to Cixi and Yuyao to rush over the corn in the hands of the grain merchants in China." ”
"Yo Si." Okamura Ninji nodded happily and said, "Please!" ”
"Hello!" Inuyangjian paused again, then got up to take his leave.
Okamura sat down again and began to enjoy the wagyu beef.
……
At this time, the yard of Zhenhai Port was already brightly lit and full of people.
The first to arrive at the dock yard was of course the Minfu team led by Gong Weiqian, in order to build Zhaobaoshan and Jinji Mountain fortresses, Gong Weiqian raised 2,000 people.
At this time, all the 2,000 people had rushed to the yard.
Along with the people, there were nearly 1,000 students from the officer training class.
"Mayor!" Gong Weiqian and He Wenxi stepped forward to greet Zhong Yi one after another.
"Don't say anything." Zhong Yicai didn't have time to greet the two, so he waved his hand and said, "Let your people hurry in, rush to transport food, rush to transport food!" ”
"Yes!" Gong Weiqian and He Wenxi responded loudly at the same time, and then turned back to beckon the people who followed behind them.
"Students, do you see the grain packets in the warehouse in front of you? This is the mountain we are going to take tonight, listen to my command, all of them, take a step forward, and get to work! ”
"Fellow villagers, those who have a board car are pushed by a board car, and those who do not have a board car are picked up with a flat shoulder, and they are carried on their shoulders, in a word, before dawn, we must fill the twenty-one warehouses of the fortress, and they are full, everyone has a reward, and the ocean is two!"
As soon as he heard this, the more than 2,000 people who followed Gong Weiqian immediately exploded, and their enthusiasm instantly increased.
In the blink of an eye, the Zhenhai Harbor Wharf became busy, and thousands of students and people came in and out, like ants moving, moving grain to Zhaobaoshan Fortress, three or four miles away.
After about half an hour, at about seven o'clock in the evening, with a long whistle, a steam locomotive dragged a hundred cars into the port station.
As soon as the train stopped, the side doors of the 100 closed wagons of the train wagons opened one after another, and then countless patrol officers, soldiers of the garrison regiment, and even civil servants rushed down from the carriages.
Soon, Hu Baozhen, Qiu Xiaochun, Cao Ziying and others came to Zhong Yi one after another.
Hu Baozhen and Cao Ziying looked a little surprised, they didn't know in advance, and they also said that the ash that was hoarded in the Zhenhai Harbor yard was really ashes, but now the ashes turned into grain in the blink of an eye.
Only Qiu Xiaochun's face was not very good-looking, gloomy.
When a few people arrived, Hu Baozhen asked, "Mayor, what's going on?" ”
"Lao Hu, don't ask anything, hurry up and take someone to move!" Zhong Yi said, "Move the grain!" ”
Cao Ziying immediately rushed to the patrol officer behind him and shouted: "Brothers, the mayor has an order to load all the grain hoarded in the yard into the car, hurry up!" ”
Officers and men of the patrol force, the garrison regiment, and government civil servants also began to get busy.
After about half an hour, a long line of torches suddenly appeared on the outskirts of the harbor.
This is the villagers of Xiaogang Town mobilized by the old man Zhao Xingjiu, and more than 10,000 people came!
With the addition of more than 10,000 villagers, the handling efficiency was greatly improved, and soon, a hundred wagons were filled, and with a long whine, the steam locomotive began to start and slowly move forward.
As soon as the first train leaves, the second train, which is waiting outside the station, comes in.
At the same time, the transportation to the Zhaobaoshan Fortress did not stop, and tens of thousands of students, people, and villagers formed a long queue between the Zhaobaoshan Fortress and the port yard.
At night, such a night view is undoubtedly very spectacular.
But Zhong Yi's brows were always locked, still too slow.
Because there is such a big movement here, it is impossible to hide from the eyes and ears of the devils, if nothing else, the devils of the Shanghai Mei organ must have learned the news at this time.
But fortunately, the devil has verified the news from getting the news, and then contacting the navy, and it will take at least seven or eight hours for the navy to dispatch planes, so there should be no problem before four o'clock in the morning tomorrow.
There's an old saying about it? The more you are afraid of something, the more you will come! Zhong Yi was just worried about the bombing of the devils, but there was a faint roar of planes in the night sky ahead.
Zhong Yi looked up and looked north, and his face became very embarrassed, didn't he? It's really coming!
And it came a full seven or eight hours earlier than expected, which was tricky.
At this time, the patrol team, people, trainees and civil servants who were busy in the yard also heard the roar of the plane, and they immediately started to commotion.
