4.41 On the Huangpu River (3)

With a total length of about 113 kilometers and a width of 300-700 meters, the Huangpu River is an important waterway in Shanghai, China. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIt flows into the Yangtze River at Wusongkou and is the last tributary of the Yangtze River before it enters the sea. It is one of the "three rivers" waterways that the water of Taihu Lake is discharged into the sea in history, and it is called "Dongjiang" and "Henglujing" in ancient times.

It flows through downtown Shanghai, dividing the city into Puxi and Pudong. The basin covers an area of about 24,000 square kilometers. Located at the front edge of the Yangtze River Delta, the water is gentle and deeply affected by the tides, with a maximum flow rate of 2 meters per second at the incoming tide and 1.8 meters per second at low tide. The Huangpu River is the main source of domestic and industrial water for residents in Shanghai, and has comprehensive functions such as shipping, flood drainage, irrigation, fishery, tourism, and climate regulation. The upstream river water can be used for domestic water, the following Longhua is mainly used for shipping functions, the river surface is about 550 meters wide, the maximum water depth is 17.4 meters, and the shallowest water depth of the channel is 9.1 meters. The Huangpu River channel from Wusongkou to Songpu can pass a section of 10,000-ton ships, Songpu to Maozhu can pass 1,000-ton ships, both sides of Longhua below are loading and unloading areas, and there are shoals above Longhua. More than 60% of Shanghai's imported goods and more than 98% of its foreign trade materials enter and exit through this waterway, and the annual passenger traffic of the passenger line is more than one million passengers.

Now a large number of Japanese warships are gathered on this river, and the guns of various calibers on the warships roar day and night, causing a huge disaster to the downtown area of Shanghai!

The Chinese artillery and air force have also tried, but unfortunately the caliber of the army's artillery is too small to bring a fatal blow to these steel giants, and although the air force has made gains, it has not been able to affect the overall situation.

The Japanese fleet on the Huangpu River thus became a lingering shadow in the hearts of the hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops in Shanghai!

The planes of the little devils sometimes take a break due to the bad weather of wind and rain, but these Japanese warships are indeed on duty 24 hours a day.

Often when the Chinese army was about to break through the Japanese land defense line, a naval cannon fell from the sky, which immediately made the previous bloody battle of the Chinese army meaningless!

So these floating iron coffins were platooned before the Japanese Air Force and became the most hated object of the Chinese army in Shanghai!

Late at night, a canopy boat on the dark river from the upper reaches of the Huangpu River downstream, if you don't look carefully, it's really difficult to find this boat, the hull has been transformed, it appears more low than the general canopy boat, the outside is painted with black paint, there is no reflection in the moonlight, the black boat moves very fast, it doesn't seem to be driven by manpower, but you can't hear the sound of the engine, the boat is weird up and down.

The black ship turned a corner on the surface of the water, slowing down, and a few miles ahead of it was the river where the Japanese fleet was cruising, and if it was discovered, it would only be sunk.

The black ship began to move towards the river, and under the cover of the shadow of the building on the shore, it slowly approached the Japanese ship, and the speed was simply moving little by little......

"Roar! The 99th Division has done it! This cautious spirit is truly commendable! ”

Vice Admiral Hasegawa, who was squatting at the observation port of the front main gun turret with a telescope, touched his Nidan's beard and praised it in a very appreciative tone.

The very covert actions of the black ship did not escape the eyes of the Japanese army!

Three hours ago, the intelligence that the 99th Division and the Navy were launching a joint attack tonight was delivered to Vice Admiral Hasegawa's desk.

The intelligence officers of the Japanese army in East China did a very good job! This important information came in a timely manner!

How could Jiangyin Fortress, the most important military stronghold at the mouth of the Yangtze River, not have the infiltration of Japanese intelligence officers?

Huang Haoran is still too tender, but it's a pity that this new famous general Miao Zi ......

Instigating the navy to dispatch without authorization and causing unnecessary losses, Huang Haoran's military career may end here, and using such a method to eliminate the most dangerous opponent of the imperial army in Shanghai is not very good-looking, but the effect is very satisfactory!

Vice Admiral Hasegawa raised his binoculars again to observe the black ship that was slowly approaching, and had to admit that the people of Shina had worked hard this time, and if it hadn't been for the intelligence in advance to strengthen the observation of the river, I am afraid it would have taken a long time to discover such a well-disguised target!

zha medicine ship raid? Such an easy way?

No!

If it was just such a child's play, what would Huang Haoran do when he went to Jiangyin to find the navy?

There must be more to come!

"General? Are we going to sink it? "The one who asked was the gun commander of the "Izumo", and at this distance, with just a few secondary guns, he could immediately send the black ship on the river to the bottom of the river, what safer way could there be?

"Nope! Qingtian-kun, you can't hold your breath like this, you should learn from the people on the black boat, you look at their gentle movements, it's just art......"

Aota replied "Hai", and then also raised the binoculars to observe, of course, he was very careful to see if his movements and position did not block Lieutenant General Hasegawa's view.

"Qingtian-kun, you should think about it, what appears now is just a small wooden boat, where is the navy of the Chinese people? Could it be that Huang Haoran, a cutting-edge general, only has these two hits? I'd be disappointed in that case! Now the Shina people's performance has just begun, and the courtesans have not yet appeared......." Lieutenant General Hasegawa said as he observed.

"But General, if this black ship is full of ZHA medicine, it is also very dangerous to let it sail into the fleet!" Aota's worries also have some reason.

"Qingtian-kun, you are too worried, the periphery of our fleet is just some small-tonnage gunboats, the target of the people of China tonight will not be those small toys, perhaps, the battleship under your feet and me is the target of the people of China!" Lieutenant General Hasegawa said quietly.

This time it was Aota's turn to be surprised: "General, are you saying that the target of the 99th Division tonight is the 'Izumo'?" ”

"What? Isn't it hard to believe? Didn't the Nineteenth Route Army do this in 32? A few days ago, the artillery, air force and torpedo boats of the Shina people also tried, although they did not succeed, but it does not mean that they do not want to take another adventure! ”

"Shogun, can the people of Shina really find the 'Izumo' in this night? I expressed my suspicion, there are dozens of boats parked on the river, and I am afraid that the people of China will be dazzled! Hahahaha...... "Qingtian smiled very presumptuously, in his eyes, the weak Chinese Navy is really not a qualified opponent!

"Maybe, but I have a feeling that the commander of the 99th Division of the China Army is a good hunting dog, and he will let his subordinates find the target, just like he did in Hongkou, Qingtian Jun, don't underestimate the enemy, the imperial army has lost a general in Shanghai, and there can be no other losses, which will shake the determination of the country to fight against China! Those conservatives are waiting for the opportunity to attack us! ”

Lieutenant General Hasegawa's words made Aota feel indescribable, and he said angrily:

"Damn politicians! Only know bloodsucking! The army can gag their mouths only with victory! The Emperor is wise! You won't be deceived! ”

Vice Admiral Hasegawa glanced at the somewhat excited gunner Nagaqing Tian, this young man has not yet been completely crazy from within the army, and he still believes in the emperor of Tokyo!

In fact, a considerable part of the actions of the military department over the years have gone against the emperor's will, but it is just because one victory after another has blocked the emperor's mouth, so that the god-like man cannot find a chance to vent.

Japan is no longer in the era when the will of the emperor is the highest criterion!

In recent years, the appetite of the military department has become bigger and bigger, and it has become more and more greedy, and the previous North China incident was actually a prelude!

The "wise" emperor, after expressing his dissatisfaction, could only choose to accept it!

The emperor does have great ambitions, but he still wears the skin of hypocrisy.

The generals of the military department have become insane! They don't even want dough!

That's the clumsy excuse for war of 918 and 77!

What's even more terrifying is that this group of crazy people has now become the helmsman of Japan!

The whole of Japan is dancing like crazy under the leadership of a madman!
