Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Lin Yuan asked Fade Chen: "Have you conducted reconnaissance on the warehouse of HSBC?"

Fade Chen frowned when he heard this question, and Lin Yuan realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Is there anything weird about this HSBC warehouse?"

Chen Fei said: "Although HSBC Bank has three warehouses, two of them are empty. Their large deposits of silver are stored in a warehouse by the Suzhou River. This warehouse is 30 meters high and 20 meters long. There are six floors above, the entire first floor is covered with walls, there are no windows, and due to the high level of confidentiality of the warehouse, we did not get the internal structure diagram of the warehouse."

"However, according to our long-range optical reconnaissance analysis, the wall should be a reinforced concrete structure. According to the introduction of bank executives, this warehouse is a semi-underground structure with a depth of ten meters underground. It mainly stores gold and silver. "

Lin Yuan thought for a while and asked, "What about the guards?"

Fade Chen replied: "There are about 100 British soldiers."

Lin Yuan asked: "There's nothing difficult about this, why are you frowning?"

Fade Chen walked to Lin Yuan's desk, opened a map of Shanghai, pointed on it with his hand, and said, "This is the warehouse. We don't have data on the thickness of the warehouse walls, but according to the practice of bank warehouses, the walls must be very thick. Thick, our rocket charge is too small, it is impossible to penetrate the wall, and we can't use large-caliber artillery to attack. The warehouse is only 15 meters away from the nearby residential buildings, across the street. , Even if the large-caliber artillery uses close-in and direct aiming fire, it will still cause damage to the nearby residential buildings."

Lin Yuan said to himself: "Our 122mm artillery shells have a killing radius of 50 meters. No matter how we explode, they will damage the nearby residential buildings. It seems that heavy weapons cannot be used in this battle!"

Fade Chen shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, if we clear away all the nearby residents, we can use heavy artillery to blow them up!"

Lin Yuan said: "It's better not to harass the people, let's find a way, by the way, is there any fresh water and food reserves in it?"

Fade Chen nodded firmly, and said, "Yes! The food and fresh water inside are enough to sustain the people inside for more than two years!"

"Two years!" Lin Yuan exclaimed in surprise, and then said: "What are these British people doing? Why store so much food and fresh water in a warehouse?"

Chen Fei said: "We also asked at that time, and their people explained it like this. It turned out that in 1863, the Shanghai Small Knife Society rebelled, and a rebel army besieged the British concession. They hid in the warehouse at that time, and the rebel army outside There were no heavy weapons and no access to warehouses, so these British expatriates survived."

"Two years ago, due to our crossing, the Boxer Rebellion happened earlier than our time. In order to protect the overseas Chinese, the British consul in Shanghai stored a large amount of fresh water and food in the warehouse. They determined the amount of storage in this way: inside The food and fresh water must ensure that the people inside can persist until the British mainland fleet rushes to Shanghai!"

Lin Yuan said in surprise: "It will take less than two years for the British mainland fleet to arrive in Shanghai!"

Fade Chen said: "The number of British expats in the reserve was several thousand, but now the number has become one hundred guards, so the time has become longer."

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "It seems that siege is not an option, so the only option is to attack!"

Chen Fei said: "It's not easy to attack by force. If we use the attacking window tactics, the first floor is all walls without windows. After we get close, we can only climb up to the second floor to attack. The enemy's firepower is on the second floor. On the third floor, a large number of casualties may be unavoidable; as for the attack tactics, don’t think about it, the big iron gate is said to weigh dozens of tons, and can only be opened with mechanical force from the inside, and if you want to open it from the outside, you can only use explosives!”

Lin Yuan said: "What if we use machine guns to seal the windows behind us as cover?"

Chen Fei said: "That way we can get close to the window, but we are not familiar with the situation inside, and the casualties will be greater after going in!"

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "Let's stop talking on paper here, let's take people to the warehouse now!" The two set off after speaking and came to the vicinity of the warehouse. It's closed and there's not even a single person outside.

Lin Yuan called a soldier and said, "Take a big loudspeaker, go up and shout, and say that we are going to take over the warehouse, let them put down their weapons immediately, and accept our control!"

The soldiers shouted for a long time, and the people inside also shouted: "Impossible, we only obey the orders of the Consulate of the British Empire, you have no right to take over the warehouse!"

Fade Chen said: "Don't talk too much, you still have to face it head-on!"

Lin Yuan said: "That's right, the bazooka squad, go up and fire a few rounds to try, load the armor-piercing bombs, delay the fuze, and see if you can blow up the wall?"

The two soldiers approached the warehouse 200 meters away and fired a rocket. After a loud noise, thick smoke rose from the wall. When the smoke cleared, Lin Yuan raised the binoculars in his hand and saw the explosion Only a large piece of wall skin fell off at the spot, exposing the steel skeleton and concrete core inside, and the wall showed no sign of being blasted through.

Lin Yuan muttered in his mouth: "I really met a hard bone!" At this moment, a few ordinary people appeared in the binoculars. They were watching curiously at the location of the explosion on the street, and Lin Yuan cursed secretly in his heart. : "You don't look at the place to watch the excitement. Is the battlefield a place to watch the excitement?"

Lin Yuan put down the binoculars, and said to the soldiers on the side: "Go and let those fellow villagers hide!" While talking, those fellow villagers actually walked towards Lin Yuan, and soon they had already walked in front of Lin Yuan. Looking at it from a distance, it was a few men, so he asked: "Several fellow villagers, what do you want?"

An old man in his 50s asked, "Excuse me, are you from Shuai Lin's team?"

Lin Yuan said: "I am Lin Yuan, what's wrong?"

The old man hurriedly said: "So you are Commander Lin, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just want to tell you that the walls of the British warehouses are extremely thick, and they can't be blown apart without a big cannon!"

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Thank you for reminding me."

The old man said again: "Then hurry up and get the big cannon, and blow up these foreign devils to the sky as soon as possible!"

Chen Fei said helplessly at the side: "Grandpa, we also want to use large-caliber heavy artillery, oh, it is the large-caliber artillery you mentioned, but the warehouse is too close to your home. Our artillery shells will blow over, and the foreign devils' cannons will explode." If the warehouse is not doing well, your warehouse will be flat!"

When the old man heard this, he slapped his thigh and said, "So that's how it is. I asked my family to move out, and you bombed our house at will!"

Lin Yuan hurriedly said: "Then how can I do it? I know you have worked hard all your life to build a decent house..."

The old man interrupted Lin Yuan and said, "What's wrong?" At this time, there were many people around the old man, and he turned around and said to the crowd, "Are you right?"

Everyone chattered and said: "That's right, Lin Shuai, we just move out, let's blow it up with a cannon!" Lin Yuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind when he heard the messy voice!
