Chapter 233 The Cruiser Arrives
The entire army's deployment map made Shan Zhong Er Bi both surprised and delighted. He really didn't expect that the Yun family was so powerful that they could even get such a thing. If he handed in this deployment map, he would definitely be able to make a great contribution. The emperor also gave him a saber.
Shan Zhong Er Bi smiled and said, "Young Master Yun, you really have the defense map of the Magic City."
Yun Zheng shouted to the outside: "Liao Bujin, bring the things in and let Shanzhongjun see them."
As soon as Yun Zheng finished speaking, a man came in holding a long tube. Yun Zheng pointed at the long tube in Liao Bujin's hand and said:
“This is the defense map.”
Then Yun Zheng asked Liao Bujin to take out the defense map and unfold it, and let Shan Zhongermei take a look at it. Then he said:
"Yamano-kun, what are you going to give in exchange for this defense map?"
When Shanzhong Erbi saw Liao Bujin taking away the defense map, he felt as if his beloved treasure had been robbed. Upon hearing Yun Zheng's question, Shanzhong Erbi immediately said:
"I don't know what you want, Mr. Yun."
Yun Zheng thought for a moment and said, "My family wants to open a tobacco shop in the Magic City, and I hope you can help, Shan Zhongjun."
Opening a smoking den, Shanzhong Erbi was a little embarrassed when he heard this request. You know, Xiaorizi has a very strict control over this. Take the Northeast for example, only Xiaorizi can open a smoking den, and others will be arrested if they open a smoking den.
Shan Zhong Er Bi thought for a moment and said, "I need to ask my superiors for instructions on this."
Yun Zheng said: "Okay, we'll talk when you have news."
Yun Zheng stood up and walked outside. The second guard in the mountain would not let Yun Zheng leave. He said quickly:
"Mr. Yun, please wait here for a moment. I will go and ask for instructions right away."
After saying this, Shan Zhong Er Bi winked at the Black Dragon Society members at the door, asking them to look at Yun Zheng.
Yun Zheng thought about it for a moment, nodded, and sat back in his seat.
"Okay, I'll wait for you a little longer."
Seeing Yun Zheng sitting back down again, Shan Zhong Er Bi immediately stood up and walked outside. Before leaving, he said to Yun Zheng:
"Young Master Yun, please sit here for a while. I'll be back soon."
More than ten minutes later, Shanzhong Erbi returned to the room very happily. He said to Yun Zheng:
"Mr. Yun, your conditions have been agreed to by your superiors."
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "Okay, I'll leave the defense map to you."
After Shanzhong Erbi and Yun Zheng had negotiated the terms, several hours later, Lu Chen and his group finally arrived in Yangcheng.
After arriving in Yangcheng, Lu Chen first bought a yard in Yangcheng, and then rented a large warehouse next to the dock in Yangcheng.
He stored all the mines in this warehouse. Then he bought more than ten fishing boats from his fellow villagers at a high price. After doing all this, Lu Chen led his men to investigate along the Yangtze River to see which section of the river was suitable for laying mines.
1月31一日，小日子的援军抵达魔都。这次小日子调来了巡洋舰4艘、驱逐舰4艘、航空母舰2艘及海军陆战队7000余人。发誓要找回场子。
As soon as their reinforcements arrived, they launched a frantic attack on the defenders of the Demon City. Relying on large-caliber naval guns and air superiority, Xiao Rizi once took the initiative on the battlefield. The defenders of the Demon City could only defend desperately.
On February 1st, news finally came from Lu Chen's observation post. Xiao Rizi's two cruisers swaggered into the Yangtze River from Yangcheng and headed towards the inland river.
Lu Chen asked Hans who came to report:
"Hans, the cruiser of Xiao Ri has really entered the Yangtze River. By the way, do they have any other warships following them?"
Hans curled his lips and said, "The navy of Chiang Kai-shek is nothing in my eyes. I don't take them seriously at all. My two cruisers did not bring any other ships with them. They went straight to the inland river without any obstruction along the way."
Hearing that Xiao Rizi's warship was so arrogant, Lu Chen was very happy. Xiao Rizi didn't even bring a minesweeper. This was his chance. He asked again:
"Hans, have you taken a good look at the tonnage of the Little Day Cruiser? Can our mines do any damage to it?"
Hans thought for a moment and said, "I looked at the two cruisers. Their tonnage is only about 10,000 tons. Our mines should be able to cause damage to them."
Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "Okay, go and notify our people to immediately move the mines onto the fishing boat. Once the two cruisers pass through the mine-laying area we have chosen, we will set out immediately and start laying mines there."
After Lu Chen finished speaking, he thought again that 10,000-ton warships would not sail side by side in the Yangtze River. If the first ship hit a mine, the one behind would definitely be alert and would not hit a mine again. Also, if the ship behind did not hit a mine, it might save the one that hit the mine, and then his efforts would be in vain.
He thought for a moment and said, "Hans, let them all use time-delay fuses when laying mines. I want those two cruisers to sink into the river to feed the fish."
Hans nodded and said, "Okay, Boss, I'll arrange it right away."
The area where Lu Chen and his team chose to lay mines was a waterway that was only 50 to 60 meters wide. Because of the entry of the Xiaori warship, all the ships on this waterway disappeared. This made it even easier for Lu Chen and his team to lay mines.
Lu Chen and his team laid mines simply and crudely, evenly distributing a thousand mines on this section of the waterway, thus completely blocking this section of the waterway.
Just as Lu Chen and his team were laying mines, two small cruisers arrived outside Jinling City and began firing at Jinling.
After the bombardment, Chiang Kai-shek directly ordered the relocation of the capital and fled from Nanjing with all the officials.
Then Chiang Kai-shek declared to the whole nation on his way to escape: "He must resist the invasion of the little people. He must fight for every inch of land."
Then he ordered General Zhang to bring his troops to support the Magic City, vowing to make Xiaoshi pay the price.
Xiao Rizi saw that Chiang Kai-shek had fled, and it was not appropriate for the cruiser to stay in Nanjing, so he drove the warship back to the port, preparing to continue to provide artillery support to the Marines in the Magic City.
The returning sailors were very happy, not caring about the troops monitoring their movements on both sides of the strait. They drove at full speed and returned as fast as possible.
On the afternoon of February 2, the two cruisers finally came into view of Lu Chen and his team. Lu Chen looked at the two cruisers nervously, and he was a little worried that the mines they laid would be discovered by the cruisers. In this case, the mines they laid would be useless.
But Lu Chen's worries were obviously unnecessary. The two cruisers had no intention of slowing down when they reached the mine-laying area. They rushed into the minefield at full speed.
