Leng Tiefeng was still enduring the decoction. Although Xu Rui didn't see anything abnormal on the surface, in his heart, he was actually feeling nervous. He would definitely be nervous, because whether this surprise attack could succeed would directly depend on it.
If it fails to succeed this time, the Japanese navy can march straight in along the Huangpu River to provide support to the Japanese army at close range.
For example, now, due to the close distance, the large-caliber naval guns of the Japanese navy are of no use, but just the small-caliber rapid-fire guns and heavy machine guns have already caused great losses to the patrol battalion besieging the Bund Park. Don't look at the current patrol.
The battalion's offensive was extremely fierce, but it was actually holding on.
If it weren't for the purpose of sending the three thousand remnants of Broadway Building onto the Japanese warship, the patrol battalion would have been withdrawn long ago!
But if Wusongkou is blocked and the Japanese navy cannot enter the Huangpu River, the situation will be very different!
Therefore, Xu Rui still had high expectations for this surprise attack. He spent so much time and energy preparing, and the patrol battalion even made huge sacrifices for it. If it was still a bamboo basket fight in the end
It would be too sad to lose everything, so Xu Rui was also nervous.
However, as time passed by, there was still no sign of the Japanese Navy sending out lifeboats.
Leng Tiefeng's face also dimmed a little bit. After turning his head to look at the Huangpu River again, but being disappointed again, Leng Tiefeng gritted his teeth and said, "Old Xu, it seems that this old Japanese devil, Kiyoshi Hasegawa, is
Most likely, he has made up his mind to face death without saving anything. Instead of wasting his life like this, it is better to withdraw!"
"Withdrawal?" Xu Rui frowned and said, "What to do about the sea of ghosts? How to block Wusongkou?"
"We'll find a way later." Leng Tiefeng said, "As long as the Japanese Navy is still stationed in Shanghai Port, we Langya will always have a chance. I don't believe that the Japanese Navy's warships can stay in the center of the river without docking. As long as
Once they reach the shore, we, Langya, will be able to seize their warships and then drive them to Wusongkou to blow them up!"
Xu Rui shook his head and said, "Just wait a little longer. Don't give up until the end!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Digua, who had been observing the river surface, suddenly shouted: "Commander, look quickly!"
Xu Rui and Leng Tiefeng suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of Digua's finger. They saw the Izumo cruiser using a winch to lower several lifeboats on its starboard side facing the Bund Park. At the same time, a group of
Several other warships lined up also lowered dozens of lifeboats, and even several small gunboats lowered life rafts.
"What's going on?" Leng Tiefeng didn't react at once and was a little confused.
Xu Rui slapped Leng Tiefeng on the back and laughed loudly: "It's done, haha!"
"It's done?!" Leng Tiefeng finally reacted, and his face was full of surprise. He clenched his fists and said fiercely, "The Japanese navy is ready to accept us on board the ship! We are going to board the ship!"
"No." Xu Rui smiled, "We are going to board the ship!"
"Great, great!" Leng Tiefeng hugged Xu Rui in desperation.
Xu Rui quickly reached out and pushed Leng Tiefeng away, "Please, I'm not born to hug men."
Pushing Leng Tiefeng away, Xu Rui said again: "Veteran, has the order for boarding the ship been arranged?"
"It has been arranged a long time ago." Leng Tiefeng quickly suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, quickly regained his composure, nodded and said, "A total of eighteen groups have been divided. Each group is guaranteed to have ten Wolf Fang members and twenty Navy veterans.
, This can not only ensure that the ship is successfully captured, but also ensure that the warship can be launched after the ship is successfully captured!"
"Very good." Xu Rui nodded and added, "After the Japanese lifeboats dock, try to arrange a combat group for each Japanese warship, but don't make it too obvious to avoid the Japanese becoming suspicious.
"
"Don't worry." Leng Tiefeng nodded and said, "I will make arrangements and never let the Japanese become suspicious."
Xu Rui nodded again and said: "In addition, I will personally lead the battle group aboard the Izumo cruiser."
Leng Tietie thought for a while and said: "Old Xu, I will go with you to the Izumo. The Izumo has the largest tonnage and the largest number of Japanese sailors on board. More importantly, this is Hasegawa Kiyoshi's flagship, so it must be
Make sure you hit it right."
"Okay, you come with me." Xu Rui didn't refuse, because what Leng Tiefeng said was right.
Soon, more than fifty lifeboats sent by the Japanese Navy docked one after another. The remnants of the Broadway Building who had been waiting with their heads bowed by the river immediately swarmed up and rushed to board the ship.
What surprised Leng Tiefeng was that the little devil Yamamoto Ichiro actually came back.
"Liang Sang!" Ichiro Yamamoto found Leng Tiefeng from the crowd and rushed over impromptu. However, when he got closer, he found Xu Rui standing next to Leng Tiefeng. Yamamoto Ichiro was stunned for a moment.
Leng Tiefeng quickly introduced: "Taijun, this is our second young master."
Mo Zichen, who was standing next to him, pretended to translate into Japanese.
"It turns out to be President Liang. What an honor to meet you." Yamamoto Ichiro paused slightly, but his expression was not very respectful. He looked at Leng Tiefeng in a different light because Leng Tiefeng saved his life. Although Liang Wuyi was famous,
He is the King of Shanghai, or the President of the East Asia Peace Promotion Association and the Deputy Mayor of Shanghai, but so what?
Xu Rui tilted his head slightly and said flatteringly: "Thank you to the Imperial Army for the rescue, otherwise our more than 3,000 brothers in the Broadway Building would really be here."
Yamamoto Ichiro then said: "Our Lord General said that your Broadway Building is the most loyal friend of the imperial army, so it is right for friends to help friends. You don't need to care too much."
"Hai, hai." Xu Rui imitated the Japanese, nodding his head repeatedly, but secretly cursing, damn, how could I not care? This old devil, Kiyoshi Hasegawa, gave me a whole fleet.
, If I don't say a few words of thanks, how can I feel so happy? Logically speaking, I should really prepare a big gift for him.
However, Yamamoto Ichiro ignored Xu Rui and turned to Leng Tiefeng and said: "Liang Sang, quickly arrange for your team members to get on the lifeboat, but remember to inform your team members that they will disarm immediately after getting on the boat, and they must obey the imperial army.
Make arrangements to avoid unnecessary trouble, please notify us as soon as possible."
"Hai." Leng Tiefeng paused and hurriedly gave the notice.
Yamamoto Ichiro was a very loyal kid. Not only did he come back, but he also brought back a Marine squadron. The people who took over the Broadway Building took over the defense of the Bund Park. After an hour, the more than 3,000 remnants of the Broadway Building were defeated.
After everyone was on board, Yamamoto Ichiro led the Marine squadron to evacuate the Bund Park.

The intersection of Yuanmingyuan and the front observation post of the patrol camp.
It wasn't until the last lifeboat was winched onto the warship that Xie Yuan's hanging heart finally fell to the ground. Then he put down the telescope, turned to Ye Ming standing behind him and said, "Finally on the ship!"
"Well!" Ye Ming nodded heavily, "Finally on the ship!"
Xie Yuanran said: "Now it depends on the Wolf Fang Brigade!"
"The Langya Brigade will definitely not let us down." Ye Ming said with great fascination, "This is the Langya Brigade, the omnipotent Langya Brigade!"
Xie Yuan heard a clue from Ye Ming's tone and asked with a smile: "Do you want to join Langya?"
"I think." Ye Ming nodded without hesitation and said, "I even dream of joining the Wolf Fang."
"That's not easy." Xie Yuan patted Ye Ming on the shoulder and said with a smile, "When this battle is over, I will personally recommend you to the commander. With the commander's guarantee, are you afraid that you won't be able to enter the Langya Brigade?"
After a pause, Xie Yuan smiled and said, "But for now, you should still be my bodyguard."
While the two were talking, deputy brigade commander Yang Rui ran up panting.
Xie Yuan turned around and asked: "Deputy Brigadier Yang, have all the troops withdrawn?"
The remnants of the Broadway Building have been picked up by the Japanese navy and put on warships. There is no need for the fourth, fifth, and sixth regiments of the patrol battalion to stay in the Bund Park to be bombed by the Japanese. Therefore, Xie Yuan immediately ordered the troops to withdraw as soon as possible.
If possible, stay away from the warships of the Japanese Navy, otherwise, it is no joke to be hit by a few large-caliber artillery shells.
Yang Rui stood at attention and replied loudly: "Report to the brigade commander that the troops have withdrawn!"
"Okay!" Xie Yuan nodded and added, "Leave one battalion to guard the central area of the concession, and the other eight battalions immediately entered Hongkou and Yangshupu through the Sichuan Road Bridge, and cooperated with the First Regiment and the Second Regiment to launch a battle to encircle and annihilate the Ninth Division."
"Yes!" Yang Rui responded with a bang, first saluted Xie Yuan with a military salute, and then left happily.
Watching Yang Rui leave, Ye Ming said to Xie Yuan: "Yingzuo, why do I feel like I'm dreaming?"
"Stop talking about you." Xie Yuan shook his head and said with a sigh, "It's me, why don't I feel like I'm dreaming?"
What has happened in the past few days is indeed as unreal as a dream to Xie Yuan and the officers and soldiers of the lone camp. Just three days ago, they only had more than 6,000 people, but now, they not only pull up
He formed a force of more than 10,000 people and was about to annihilate the Japanese Ninth Division!
This is not bragging. The headquarters of the Ninth Division has been destroyed by the First Battalion. Even the division commander Yoshizumi Ryosuke has been captured. Now the command structure of the Ninth Division has been destroyed and several infantry regiments have also been surrounded.
In the middle area of Hongkou and Yangshupu, they were unable to move. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before the entire army was destroyed.
As soon as the Ninth Division was finished, the entire Shanghai fell completely under their control!
Effectively controlling Shanghai was something that not even General Zhang Zhizhong's Ninth Army was able to accomplish at the beginning of the Songhu Battle. But now, seeing that they are about to accomplish it alone, oh no, there is nothing left to do now.
The only military camp left was the Songhu Military Division of the New Fourth Army's Jiangsu-Anhui Military District.
And all this is because of one man!
"Let's go!" Xie Yuan took a deep breath and said to Ye Ming, "We can't let the commander do all the work. We have to perform well, otherwise we will be looked down upon."
