Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

1296 Breaking into the Concession

Looking at the villages and towns on the map, Lin Yuan felt clueless. After all, his influence in this area was not strong enough to find out that army. How can the Japanese army find out? I can definitely find a way to cut off their supply lines!"

"The Japanese army used a large number of new weapons in this battle, such as brand-new automatic rifles, armor-piercing bombs, and chemical bombs that just appeared. These things were not capable of being produced by the Qing court. The Japanese army could only supplement these things. From the mainland, as long as we cut off this transportation line, we will be able to trap the Japanese army alive in China!"

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Where did the Japanese army enter our country? Now the Japanese army is in Jiangyin, which is on the edge of the Yangtze River. The Yangtze River is the fastest transportation channel. If I were the commander of the Japanese army, I would definitely let the Japanese army The supply ships of the Japanese army headed upstream from the mouth of the Yangtze River, so the Yangtze River was the channel for the transportation of Japanese military supplies."

Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel happy when he thought of this, and thought: "My base is on Chongming Island, which guards the mouth of the Yangtze River. No ships passing by can escape my eyes!" Lin Yuan immediately called for the staff and said, "Send me order, from now on, all ships entering the Yangtze River will be searched."

The staff officer was taken aback, and said: "But there are too many ships entering the Yangtze River Estuary every day, and it seems that it is impossible to check."

Lin Yuan said: "Then focus on checking the large transport ships. The Japanese army will definitely use large ships if they want to transport weapons and ammunition! Then call the coast patrol teams from various ports in the northeast, and hurry up. This matter is related to the frontline battle situation."

The staff then went to make arrangements, and after arranging the matter, Lin Yuan thought: "The Japanese army entered China, and the matchmaking of the Japanese embassy is indispensable here. I should take someone to the Japanese embassy and give the Japanese ambassador Katowara some serious Look."

But Lin Yuan also knew that to get to the Japanese embassy, ​​he had to go through two hurdles, and the first hurdle was the Qing court!The Japanese embassy was in the British Concession in Shanghai at this time. After Britain announced its full support for the Qing court, Japan also followed in the footsteps of the United Kingdom and announced that it would cut off all ties with the People's Republic of China established by Lin Yuan, only recognizing that the Qing court represented China The legitimate government of China moved the embassy to the British Concession in Shanghai.

Shanghai has a garrison force of thousands of people from the Qing court, led by Shanghai Daotai Liu Linxiang himself, and its combat effectiveness is not weak. This is the first difficulty, and the second difficulty is the Ministry of Industry in the concession. They have their own guards , although they are not in the army, they are British after all, and it depends on the face of the British government to move them.

Lin Yuan thought: "These two difficulties, the first one is easy to solve, as long as I lead the troops to eliminate them, but the second one is more difficult, it involves the British, how should we deal with it? I severely injured their warship, and they dare not send troops to attack me, and if I invade their concession, they should not have much reaction."

"When I was in Shanghai in the previous stage, I said that I would abolish the foreign concessions. Now that the Qing court has fled to the south and captured North China, it is time to announce the abolition of the foreign concessions and unequal treaties. This will not only eliminate foreign interference in our base, but also to win over the people of insight within the Qing court!"

"In this case, I will order the Eighth Division to hurry to Shanghai. Once they arrive in Shanghai, the first thing I will do is to take them straight to the British Concession!" Lin Yuan then issued an order to the Eighth Division. The main force of the army is already on the way. After receiving Lin Yuan's order, it reached the waters outside Shanghai's Chongming Island at [-] o'clock that night.

Lin Yuan immediately ordered the Eighth Division to land near Chuanshating. Chuanshating is a small town, only 22 kilometers away from Shanghai. The sea is wide and the sea near the coast is deep, suitable for landing. The Eighth Division is here this time. There are two brigades, the 23nd brigade and the 1rd brigade, with a strength of nearly 45 people. Each brigade has a tank battalion equipped with [-] tanks.

The landing of the Eighth Division did not encounter any obstacles. One hour after landing, the landing troops of the Eighth Division opened up a landing field in Chuansha Hall with a front width of [-] kilometers and a depth of [-] kilometers. The follow-up troops immediately boarded the beach. The last three large tank landing ships approached the beach, placing ninety tanks on the beach.

After Lin Yuan received the news of the successful landing, he immediately ordered the Eighth Division to attack Shanghai westward. , while the concession in Shanghai has become an isolated island.

At [-] o'clock in the morning on May [-]th, Lin Yuan came to the division headquarters of the Eighth Division, boarded an off-road vehicle, and went to the British Concession in person. There are two concessions in Shanghai, one is the British-dominated United Concession, and the other One is the French Concession. At this time, the British and American Concession is facing a big enemy. The British guards of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce are all armed with live ammunition and guarding the intersection. Opposite them are the soldiers of Lin Yuan's army, also holding guns, with cold eyes.

Surrounded by the crowd, Lin Yuan came down to the guards. The guards were a little dazed when they saw Lin Yuan's style. Lin Yuan said proudly, "I want to see Mr. Charlton, Director General of the Ministry of Industry."

A British military officer said to Lin Yuan, "Who are you?"

Lin Yuan said, "I am Lin Yuan."

Hearing this, the officer couldn't help taking two steps back, and said, "So it's Mr. Lin Yuan. Well, I'll send someone to find Mr. Charlton."

Lin Yuan nodded, and the officer turned around and got into a car. Lin Yuan looked at the car and smiled secretly: "It was produced by the French Renault company, and many of the technologies used in it are ours."

The officer came back a little later, got out of the car and said, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Charlton is not in the mansion, nor is he in the Ministry of Industry Bureau. We don't know where he went."

Lin Yuan smiled sinisterly, took out a small note from his pocket, and said according to the words on it: "Mr. Charlton got up at 06:30 this morning, went out for a walk at [-]:[-], and came back at [-]:[-]. Soup dumpling, lotus seed eight-treasure porridge, I haven’t gone out after eating too much breakfast, I don’t know if I’m right?”

The officer's expression changed, and he said, "Mr. Lin Yuan, I don't know how you know these things. I'm not Mr. Charlton's attendant, so I can't judge whether these things are true or not."

Lin Yuan sneered and said: "The purpose of telling you these things is: Charlton's every move is under my control, there are already spies I planted by his side, and he said that he is not here because he doesn't want to see me on purpose. .”

The officer's face turned ugly, Lin Yuan handed him the note, and said with a smile: "Give this note to him and let him come out to meet me. If he still avoids me, I will lead people into the foreign concession." , these guards of yours can't stop me at all!"

The officer took the note, got into the car and went back, the car came back soon, the car stopped and the door opened, a middle-aged man came out, Lin Yuan recognized the man at a glance, he was Director of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce: Charlton!

The two once fought against each other in Shanghai. At that time, Charlton and Lin Yuan were equal opponents, but now, Lin Yuan has tens of thousands of troops. Charlton felt guilty when he looked at Lin Yuan, and remembered what Lin Yuan said about abolishing Speaking of the concession, I was a little scared.

Lin Yuan looked at Charlton and laughed, and said, "Mr. Charlton, are you all right?"
