1937, bah!(1/2)
Nanjing was originally very calm when it came out of the river.
This is the Yangtze River channel controlled by the Japanese. Everything is under the control of the Japanese.
Except for Japanese ships, if ships from any other country want to pass, they must file with the Japanese in advance. Otherwise, they may be "injured".
Even British people, Americans are the same.
If you do not register in advance, you will definitely be obstructed by Japanese warships.
The Japanese army was stationed at the estuary of the Yangtze River. In Shanghai, the Japanese Navy also had a headquarters.
The Yangtze River channel has always been very safe.
Until not long ago, a mine suddenly appeared.
These damn mines do not blow small boats, but specialize in blowing big boats.
Ordinary small motorboats will not detonate mines. Only larger gunboats will.
But the transport ship will.
The Japanese invaders were bombed several transport ships in a row.
Fortunately, the above carry logistics supplies, not people. Otherwise, the losses will be even heavier.
This led to the retention of the 48th and 49th divisions.
The original transportation plan was postponed.
There is no danger.
It was just postponed.
Need to wait for the arrival of the Navy's Mine-Sweeper.
This time, the Navy's Mine Sweeper arrived faster. Two more ships came at one time.
I have been working for two days. I don’t know if there are any results.
But I think it should be OK.
After all, it is a minesweeper! It is professionally dealing with mines.
It is probably the mine that was detonated.
Unexpectedly, after the staff learned about the situation, they reported this: "God General, the riverside observation post reported that a minesweeper of the Navy was sunk... "
"Nani?" Seishiro Itagaki was incredible.
What?
The minesweeper was actually sunk?
Aren't they professional mine-sweeping? They can even be sunk by mines?
Is Navy Red Deer so unprofessional?
The minesweeper was actually sunk by a mine?
I can't figure it out for a moment.
The staff officer retreated carefully.
In fact, they can't figure it out either. Is the Navy Red Deer so bad?
It was agreed that a professional minesweeper was sent to arrive, so how could it be bombed? But the front-line observation is indeed true.
Many people have seen it.
A minesweeper boat from Navy Red Deer was really sunk.
The power of the mine explosion is super terrifying.
The minesweeper boat was blown up directly.
The nearby river water is said to have been pushed up by three meters.
So terrible...
I don't know why this is happening.
In fact, Navy Red Deer is also wronged in this matter.
Their minesweepers mainly deal with general touch mines.
The mine released by Yang Yue is a magnetic mine. It is relatively intelligent and detonates through induction magnetic field changes.
Ordinary small motorboats, including Yang Yue’s own anti-smuggling speedboat, do not have such a large magnetic field, so they will not detonate. However, the magnetic fields of transport ships and minesweepers are strong enough.
The Japanese use ordinary methods to deal with magnetic mines, of course they will suffer a great loss.
What's more, the Japanese were a little arrogant and were not afraid of death and used a minesweeper to hit the mines.
They judged that the mine was broken.
result……
Who will you blow if you don’t blow it up?
With a loud bang, the minesweeper was immediately wiped out.
After a long time, Seishiro Itagaki frowned and asked, "Is there any statistics over there? How many mines are there nearby?"
"Sorry. The Navy replied, I can't estimate it."
“Baga…”
Itagaki Seishiro frowned.
This is troublesome.
No one knows how many mines there are in the Yangtze River channel.
That means that the transportation of the 48th and 49th divisions must be cautious and cautious. Otherwise, with a bang, the two squadrons will be gone.
A transport ship can carry at least two squadrons, that is, about four hundred people.
A relatively large transport ship can even carry a brigade, which is even more dangerous.
An infantry brigade can fight a Chinese and a division.
If it is blown away by a mine, it would be bad.
But they are those guys from the Navy, who only eat but don’t do things. They spend their days with the most abundant military spending.
The army's food is mainly rice balls. The same is true for him, the chief of staff of the dispatched army. Pig food is rice balls. There is no other food that is too rich.
But the navy red deer is different.
They actually want to eat steak and drink red wine.
Entering the Navy Command in Shanghai is like entering a beautiful palace.
Baga!
Navy Red Deer is so extravagant.
Steak again!
Return red wine!
The military expenditure of the empire was wasted by them!
As a result, I couldn't even handle a few mines.
Baga!
It's intolerable!
We must seize the opportunity to sue them to the Emperor.
Look at our army, with the minimum military expenditure, we have built such a large territory for the empire and seized so many resources.
But your navy is of no use at all. It has not gained any benefit for the empire.
Do you still have the face to eat Western food? You still eat steak? Drink red wine? Why? Why?
Why don’t you drive warships to help the empire grab resources?
The empire needs food, oil, rubber, and iron ore...
"Report!"
"Telection from the 11th Central China Army."
Suddenly, another adviser arrived.
Seishiro Itagaki frowned even more.
No need to ask, I must have called to ask when the two divisions of 48 and 49 will arrive in Wuhan.
There was also a beginning to feel that the troops were insufficient.
Judging from the battle reports of the 11th Army, the attack has been significantly restrained in recent times.
To be continued...
