Heavy Industry Empire

Although the naval fleet of the National Defense Army and the Pacific Fleet are powerful, they are not enough to deal with the Fengjun Navy and the Nanjing Navy. Feng Jun took the opportunity to attack, and at the same time, Chen Feiying led a flying brigade of [-] fighter jets to patrol the sea. Li Xunxing led seven destroyers equipped with Nighthawk helicopters as the backbone, supporting fifty sea scorpion gunboats and three armored supply ships. Sixty warships headed southward in a mighty manner, in the waters of Shanghai. Li Xunxuan stood on the deck of the destroyer, looked forward, and said, "We are approaching Shanghai. The whole army is on alert."

Mr. Jiang still attaches great importance to the navy. He has formed a dual-purpose navy called the Huangpu Navy. The other navy is in Guangzhou. The Huangpu Navy here in Shanghai is also quite capable, with six gunboats of [-] tons. , Thirty small gunboats. It is more reasonable to call it a fleet than an artillery team. There is basically no match. Of course, the Pacific Fleet can only be called an artillery team at present.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, the Huangpu navy was found [-] nautical miles ahead," the soldier came to report.

Li Xunhang nodded. It's already at the door of his house. It would be abnormal if he didn't show any more.

"Pass me the order, battle formation, advance at full speed,"

"Yes,"

After the order was issued, seven destroyers led the way, followed by more than 50 gunboats, and they greeted them in a mighty manner. As long as the Pacific Fleet went to sea, the cannonballs would be loaded, and it was getting closer and closer.

"The other party sent a telegram saying that we have entered their defense zone and asked us to evacuate immediately," said the adjutant next to him.

There was a sneer on Li Xunhang's face. The National Defense Army, especially Commander Fu of the Taiping Fleet, was even more proud from the bottom of his heart, saying: "Call back, just say we are going to enter the Yangtze River, let them go, who dare to stop?" Don't blame the cannon for not having eyes."

"Yes," I was here to ask for trouble, so please be polite and call me back immediately.

We have already entered the range of five kilometers. The weather and sea conditions this morning are relatively good, and the visibility is relatively high. We can already see each other clearly.

"Nighthawk lifts off, the destroyer's main guns are ready," Cruiser Li gave the order.

The Nighthawk helicopters on the decks of the seven destroyers roared into the air, high in the sky, with a clear view of the sea.

The Whampoa Fleet, on the flagship Whampoa, the adjutant pointed to the sky and said, "Look, they still have planes, such strange planes,"

"Hmph, as long as they have planes, our plane should be arriving soon," said the fleet commander.

As soon as he finished speaking, the roar of planes sounded in the air, and at least twenty planes flew over, all of which were wooden planes similar to bumblebees, and their speed was only over 200 kilometers.

"Commander, look, their planes are here too," the adjutant said. The so-called commander-in-chief refers to the commander-in-chief of this operation, and of course the commander-in-chief is Li Xunhang.

"Hehe, well done, Nighthawk retreats, Sea Scorpion steps forward,"

"Yes,"

"Wait, try to scare them as much as possible, don't come for real," Li Cruise added.

"Yes, understand," the adjutant immediately went to convey the order.

The Nighthawk helicopter saw the opponent's plane coming, and immediately flew towards the rear of the fleet. Instead, the Sea Scorpion gunboat that was originally behind accelerated and ran to the front of the aircraft carrier. The plane in the sky was getting closer and closer. The tall gun barrel is actually specially designed to deal with aircraft, with a high range and a long distance.

Boom, boom, boom, the rapid-fire artillery fire hit the sky high, and the shells passed through the group of planes. The pilot was shocked when he saw the shells flying around him.

The captain of the air force said: "Go back, we are not their opponents, all the anti-aircraft guns on their ships, twenty planes are not enough for others to fight,"

"Yes," the twenty planes came quickly and returned even faster. In a blink of an eye, there was nothing left in the air except the thick smoke left by the planes.

"These cowards ran away as soon as they fired the cannon, and we will definitely sue them when we go back," the fleet commander jumped angrily and scolded his mother.

"It looks like they're going to outflank us,"

In the sky, the Nighthawk helicopter flew over the Whampoa Fleet, and the machine guns fired a few shots at random, smashing the decks of several gunboats a little bit.

Li Xunxing smiled and said: "The destroyer fired, and the sea scorpion leaned up and captured several of their ships,"

"Yes,"

The main guns of the destroyer were all large-caliber guns. This roar was quite powerful, and huge waves exploded on the sea. A gunboat that was directly hit was smashed and lost its fighting ability.

"Fire, fire," the commanders of the Huangpu Fleet shouted one by one and fired back, but their firepower was too weak in comparison. The sea scorpion gunboat rushed up with roaring motors, firing while charging, regardless of speed or firepower It's all heartbreaking.

Nighthawk helicopters fired cold shots from time to time in the sky, and soon the Whampoa Fleet had no will to fight, and the Sea Scorpion gunboat cut off their retreat towards Shanghai.

"Retreat to the south, these lunatics, the artillery fire is too fierce, where did the strange plane come from," the commander of the Huangpu Fleet ordered helplessly.

As soon as the Huangpu fleet retreated, the sea scorpions had an opportunity to take advantage of them. More than a dozen sea scorpions set their sights on two large gunboats, which seemed to be five or six hundred tons in size. After getting off the gunboat, it quickly got close to the sea scorpion battleship. The marines who had been prepared for a long time relied on the ropes to fly and pedal the ship, and the submachine gun in their hands instantly brought down the enemy with the gun.

The people on these two gunboats were all confused. They were all regular soldiers. They never thought that they could go on board in naval battles in their education. After all, it was not the age of great sailing in the eighteenth century.

"Give up your guns and don't kill, put down your weapons, and take prisoners," the soldiers on board the enemy ships shouted loudly, and soon the few sailors on the two fleets surrendered one after another, and the two gunboats were completely captured.

Although the Huangpu fleet fled to the south, Li Xunxing did not intend to let them go, and ordered the helicopter to follow closely, as long as they stopped, they would fight. The Huangpu fleet was frightened, and the helicopter chased them away for more than 100 nautical miles. .

At this time, the fleet led by Li Xunhang had already entered the vicinity of the Yangtze River Estuary, and the destroyer's artillery bombarded the forts on both sides. Traffic at the estuary of the Yangtze River was blocked for a while.

Thirty sea scorpion gunboats entered the waterway of the Yangtze River and went up the river, showing off their might along the way. Whenever they encountered forces from Mr. Jiang's side, they always fired a few shots to scare them.
