In the early morning, Shanghai is filled with a thin morning fog, and as soon as the sky is bright, the big city of Shanghai is busy, but in the spare time, the air seems to be filled with a faint smell of gunsmoke.

It was a 'military conflict' between the Chinese army and the Japanese army on the outskirts of Shanghai, and the foreigners in Shanghai were also paying attention to this 'military conflict' in the Far East, and the information obtained so far showed that the two sides had mobilized more than 100,000 troops, and news came from the city called Mukden in the northeast that the Japanese army in the northeast seemed to have suffered a crushing defeat, and even their colonies in the northeast had been attacked.

I really don't know what these East Asians are doing, the war has already reached this point, and there is no declaration of war, and they still insist on 'military conflict'.

On the Bund in Shanghai, in the English Consulate, Consul Foster was slightly annoyed after being woken up by the servant, the elderly Foster didn't like to be disturbed while he was sleeping, so he chose to come to the Far East to work, because the British country is strong, it is difficult for anyone to disturb his rest.

But I didn't expect a war to break out here, oh, it should be a conflict, the damn Japanese dwarf fought with the Chinese people in the northeast, first almost occupied a large piece of coveted land, but within a few days it was driven out by the mysterious army that rose up somewhere, but the damn Japanese dwarf actually fought with the Chinese people in Shanghai.

Recently, there have been battles and artillery fire in the north every day, and Japanese planes are also flying overhead, which is very annoying.

"Theodore, I hope you can have a reasonable reason for you to disturb my sleep. Foster came into the office and looked at his deputy with a very unhappy face.

"Sir, news came from the merchant ships heading south from Shanghai to Hong Kong that there was a mysterious fleet flying the flag of the United States and the flag of England in the area of Hangzhou Bay, and it seemed to be heading north. Theodore, who was a little younger, took out the telegram in his hand and handed it to Foster.

Foster sat down in his chair, looked at the telegram on the table, and said angrily, "Is there any acting between the Royal Navy and the Chinese people?"

"I don't know sir, but the retired naval officer on the merchant ship reported at least two battleships and three cruisers!"

"Oh my God!" Forster was startled, his eyes widening, "Are you sure it's not an April Fool's joke? Do you know how much pounds it costs to drive two battleships to the Far East?"

Theodore said: "Of course I do, sir! I also know that the Royal Navy's Far East Fleet has only one battlecruiser and two heavy cruisers, but it is said that the warship flying our flag is very much like the battlecruiser Prestige!"

The more he listened, the more Foster felt like an April Fool's joke, and a few days ago he heard from an old friend in the Navy that the Prestige was about to be modernized, so how could it be sent to the Far East?

Could it be that the Japanese dwarfs are ready to challenge the dignity of Britain?

"What about the other battleship?" asked Foster.

Theodore shook his head: "The retired naval officer said he didn't know either, but at least a battleship or battlecruiser of about the same tonnage as the Prestige. "

"What about the U.S. warships?" asked Foster as he continued.

"It seems to be the newly built treaty heavy patrol New Orleans class in the United States, because of its distinctive appearance and outstanding appearance, it is still a little famous in the navy, but it has just started, and there is a cruiser that the officer did not recognize. "

The more Foster thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, at this point in time, the country would send a fleet over? Moreover, it was still conducting a joint exercise with the United States? Was it putting pressure on the Yamato Empire dwarfs? Let them not be too rampant?

"You hurry up and contact the embassy and the country! And the United States also sent a diplomatic note to inquire. Foster said to Theodore.

"Yes, sir, I'll go at once!" said Theodore bowed slightly.

Just as he was about to leave, there was a sudden buzzing sound in the sky like a swarm of bees.

"Damn, are the Yamato Imperial dwarfs bombing Shanghai again? I hope you don't bomb the concession!" said Foster, holding his head in his hands.

But soon, a military attache from a consulate ran up: "God! Mr. Consul, you would never have imagined that the Chinese had dispatched nearly 100 fighters! And they were all very beautiful and advanced monoplane fighters!"

"Whatthefuck?" Foster was slightly stunned, not a Japanese fighter plane?

He hurriedly ran to the balcony of the consulate to watch.

Sure enough, I saw that nearly 100 fighters in the sky were flying in the northeast direction, most of them were monoplanes, and there were a small number of old-fashioned planes with double wings, beautiful monoplane fuselages, and advanced large-scale fighters were dispatched, which aroused the cheers of the people in Shanghai, and after experiencing the bombing of the Japanese army, everyone was particularly excited to see Huaxia's own air force.

"Oh my God, is the Huaxia army going to fight back?" Forster opened his mouth slightly in surprise.

The direction of their flight was the mouth of the Yangtze River! The Japanese fleet was stationed!

The military attache added: "This batch of fighters flew from the north yesterday, and I heard that it was the northern army that defeated the Japanese, and there may be a mysterious Zhenbei army supported by the Soviet Union behind it. "

Hearing this, Foster felt bad again.

Hurriedly picked up his clothes and hat and walked out of the consulate with his assistant.

At Wusongkou, Shanghai, the Japanese Third Fleet was being ordered to launch an attack on the Wusong Battery, and the commander of the Third Fleet, Nomura Kichizaburo, scoffed at the Chinese army, believing that it was a shame for the Yamato Imperial Army to be held back here.

He dispatched the remaining 40 or so carrier-based planes to bombard the Wusong Battery, while the fleet headquarters was stuck in the area of Hengsha Island, nearly 30 kilometers away, and the Wusong Fort could not reach a position at all.

However, the Shanghai Task Force Air Force of the Zhenbei Army immediately dispatched to support the Wusong Battery, and the two teams of the Central Air Force and the bombers also took off together, forming a group of nearly 100 fighters!

When this huge fleet appeared at the mouth of the Yangtze River, the commander of the Third Fleet, Kichizaburo Nomura, was very angry.

In the face of the Zhenbei Army planes that were constantly diving towards the fleet and dropping aerial bombs, Nomura Kichizaburo had no choice but to order a comprehensive counterattack with the sparse anti-aircraft fire of each ship, and recalled the carrier-based planes that bombed the Wusong Battery.

However, each of the Zhenbei military fighters this time carried a 500-kilogram bomb, relying on the excellent performance of the Me-109 fighters to continuously dive and bomb the Japanese fleet, and the huge explosion set off waves one after another, and a destroyer was stopped and blown into two sections, which plunged the entire Japanese fleet into a panic.

However, the carrier-based planes that rushed back happened to encounter the first batch of the Fifth Fighter Group that had finished dropping their bombs, and an air battle broke out between the two sides! The only remaining 40-odd carrier-based planes of the Japanese army were constantly turned into fireballs by the Zhenbei Army Air Force and fell into the Yangtze River.

The sharp-eyed Huaxia Air Force had an absolute advantage, and in order to avoid possible greater casualties, Nomura Kichizaburo immediately ordered the fleet to withdraw beyond the mouth of the Yangtze River.

Tang Feiyu, commander of the air force of the Shanghai dispatch team of the Zhenbei Army, saw that the Japanese fleet was beginning to sail away outside the mouth of the Yangtze River, and immediately turned on the airborne radio.

"The wild goose calls the sea dragon, the wild goose calls the sea dragon, the Japanese Third Fleet is sailing out of the mouth of the Yangtze River, please answer when you receive it; repeat, the Japanese Third Fleet is sailing out of the mouth of the Yangtze River, please answer when you receive it, over!"

"Sea Dragon received! repeat, Sea Dragon received! done!"

"Good luck, over!" Tang Feiyu smiled slightly, then dialed the communication and ordered the bomber group to immediately return to Hongqiao Airport to replenish the bombs!

At the same time, in the Shengsi Islands, more than 70 kilometers away from the mouth of the Yangtze River, in the hazy morning fog, a huge fleet headed by a battleship and a battlecruiser flying the Stars and Stripes of the United States and the British flag was sailing towards the mouth of the Yangtze River at full speed following Lin Yongchang's order.

In the command room of the Zhenyuan bridge, Lin Yongchang, who was dressed in a white rear admiral uniform, clenched his fists, and grinned at the corner of his mouth with an almost crazy smile: "I caught you!"
