After Shanchi Yuanji made a basic judgment, he immediately sent investigators in disguise to conduct investigations near the dock.
Not to mention that Yamachi Genji's judgment was very accurate this time. The investigators quickly sent him back the specific information.
It turns out that the artillery fleet of the Nanyang Navy has reappeared outside the Lion City, but the enemy navy has disappeared.
After hearing the reply, Yamachi Motoharu pondered for a moment, and then asked in detail: "Have all the main forces of our Nanyang Navy returned?"
The scout thought for a while and then replied cautiously: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, I found that the main force of the Nanyang Navy, battleships and ironclads are in the fleet. However, there are still about 10 medium-sized cruisers that have not been discovered, maybe they were
Sunk."
When Yamachi Yuanji heard this, he continued to ask: "Which warships are missing?"
"Just those 10 or so fastest warships have disappeared."
Shanchi Genji immediately felt relieved when he heard this. He followed his lord Liu Hai southward, and along the way he also discovered that there was something fishy about the Nanyang Navy.
Originally, according to the Lord's status, his ships should be placed on the four most powerful battleships.
As a result, the protagonist Liu Hai set his flagship on an eight- to nine-thousand-ton cruiser (Motoharu Yamachi did not understand the classification of modern warships, so he directly classified all these missile ships as cruisers), and these warships looked like
It's really weird, there is only one small-caliber cannon on the ship.
At that time, Yamachi Genji suspected that these dozens of strange warships must have some secrets that he did not know.
Now the main fleet has returned to the waters off Singapore, with only these dozen odd-looking cruisers missing.
So these cruisers couldn't have been sunk, right?
But now I can no longer care about talking about this. The main purpose now should be to get in touch with the warship, and then cooperate with the warship to retake Singapore and eliminate the enemy's army.
So that night, Yamachi Genji sent an elite force, quietly sneaked into Lion City, an abandoned dock, stole a small fishing boat there, and then escorted the envoy sent by Yamachi Genji - Kobayashi Taizo
, go and contact the Nanyang Navy.
This is what happened to the servant army led by Yamaji Genji during this period after the main force of the Nanyang Navy left the Lion City.
After listening to Kobayashi Taizo's statement on the warship, Liu Da nodded with satisfaction. This time, these servants came in handy, and they actually persisted for such a long time, waiting for his main fleet to return.
Liu Da was very satisfied, and then said to Kobayashi Taizo: "I already know what happened. Now go back and convey my order to Shanchi Yuanji, asking him to organize an army immediately and start a fierce attack on the Lion City.
I will support him with naval guns."
After hearing this, Kobayashi Taizo immediately saluted Liu Da and said, "I will obey the general's order."
But then he hesitated a little, as if he had something to say that he wanted to say but was inconvenient to say it.
Liu Da also noticed that he was reluctant to speak, so he said very cheerfully: "We are all our own people. If you have anything to say, just say it."
After listening to Liu Da's consolation, Xiao Lin Taishan said: "Your Excellency, General, after several days of fierce fighting, our army has suffered very heavy losses in numbers. I suggest that the general transfer the front troops from Kalimantan Island, Malaya.
reinforce."
Liu Da nodded when he heard what he said. Although he didn't know what the loss of Yamaji Genji was this time? But seeing Kobayashi Taizo so anxiously asking for reinforcements, it seemed that he really didn't have the strength to sustain the attack on Lion City.
.
"Don't worry. Now you go back and talk to Yamachi Motoharu and ask him to wait for a day or two. Reinforcements will arrive soon. At that time, he will gather two troops to launch an attack on the enemy forces in Lion City."
After Liu Da sent away Xiaobayashi Taizo, he immediately summoned the leaders of the fleet to the battleship Huangdi for a short meeting.
After everyone arrived, Liu Da belatedly entered the conference room. When other combatants in the conference room saw Liu Da coming, they all stood up and saluted him.
Liu Daman sat in the middle of the conference room seriously, then waved to everyone and asked them to take their seats.
"I got information today that Shanchi Motoji on land has suffered very heavy losses this time, and I'm afraid he won't be able to complete the mission of attacking the Lion City."
When Liu Da said this, all the officials below started whispering.
"These people are too cowardly. They have just lost so many people and are already complaining. If our Hunan Army were here, we would definitely knock the Geely people into the sea in one go."
"I say just be content. They haven't been wiped out, so they can be considered capable. You really compare them with our Hunan Army. These people are our cannon fodder."
"What did Yamachi Genji do? But knowing that the commander had given them 24 122mm caliber howitzers, these heavy artillery pieces are considered invincible in today's world, he actually lost most of the Lion City?"
Liu Da sat on top and looked at the pipes below, whispering, mostly complaining about Yamachi Motoharu's incompetence. He was a little unhappy, so he took a picture and said: "Shut up, everyone, I think Yamachi Motoharu is incompetent this time."
With a few thousand troops, it is considered good to be able to withstand more than 10 times the enemy's elite attack. Don't say this again in the future, otherwise it will affect the relationship between the two armies."
After Liu Da scolded the subordinates, he paused for a moment, and then comforted them: "You just need to know the above. What are you talking about? If word spreads, how can we make these slaves work for us?"
After listening to Liu Da's words, the generals sitting below looked at each other, and then showed a knowing smile.
It seems that their fleet admiral also understands in his heart that these people are their cannon fodder, and they will not feel sorry for them even if they die, but everyone just needs to know it in their hearts, but they can't say it out loud.
Sitting on top, Liu Da saw the generals below and understood what he meant, so he changed the topic to the next combat mission.
"The commander may return in a few days after chasing the enemy's main fleet. During this period, we cannot be idle. I am going to send a small fleet and lead the transport ship to Kalimantan. The 1st Division will be there.
Bring back the Nogi Nogi Nogi Division of the 1st Brigade, as well as the indigenous servants who suppressed the rebellion there, and strengthen Yamaji Genji's troops. When the general returns, we can capture the Lion City in one fell swoop, what do you think?"
After hearing this, the commanders of the warships sitting below naturally had nothing to say.
Seeing that they all agreed, Liu Da began to assign tasks.
"Where is Liu Min?"
"The end will be here."
"I order you to lead the battleship Anhui, as well as the cruisers Suzhou and Huzhou, to escort five transport ships to Kaliman Island and bring back the army there. Can you complete it?"
Liu Min stood there thinking about this task, what could not be accomplished? Now the enemy warships were almost invisible on the sea. With his battleship Anhui, plus two light cruisers, it was enough to run rampant on the sea.
"Don't worry, general. I guarantee with my head that I will escort the army back safely."
"Okay, that's it. Since time is urgent, you will leave today."
Liu Min didn't say much after receiving the general's order. He bowed his hand to Liu Dagong and said, "General, go and prepare now. We will pull anchor and set sail in an hour."
Liu Da nodded, then looked down again, and finally pointed at the two people and said: "Liu Yu, Dong Gang will follow Liu Min in your cruiser. You must be careful and assist Liu Min with all your strength."

Liu Yu and Dong Gang were originally members of the Nanyang Navy, but were not taken seriously. However, with the expansion of Liu Hai's naval strength, these two people sincerely fawned over each other and had some abilities, so they were promoted by Liu Hai.
Captain of a light cruiser.
When Liu Yu and Dong Gang heard Liu Da call their names, they immediately stood up and clasped their fists and raised their hands, "We will obey the general's order."
Then Liu Da nodded and asked them to go down and prepare immediately.
After an hour of preparation at the first level, Liu Min finally pulled anchor and set sail. Their small fleet consisted of a battleship, two light cruisers, and 6 transport ships.
After Liu Min and others left, Liu Da reorganized his fleet and moved closer to Lion City. He was preparing to continue bombarding Lion City, which had already put pressure on the enemy forces in the city.
But before he could fire the cannon, Yamachi Motoharu sent information again.
After receiving the information, Liu Da was angry and helpless. In the end, he could only order the fleet to stop its planned plan and evacuate 10 kilometers back.
It turned out that the intelligence sent to him by Yamachi Genji this time was that the enemy army commander in Singapore, Lieutenant General Nehun Pass, was frantically arresting Chinese people everywhere, and then let them mix with his own soldiers and serve as soldiers
human shield.
This was when Yamachi Genji left, most of the Chinese were evacuated, and only a small group were unwilling to leave, otherwise the other side would have more human shields.
What can Liu Da do now? He can't ignore the safety of the Chinese and open fire.
Therefore, he could only withdraw the fleet, wait there for the missile fleet led by Liu Hai to return, and leave the matter to Liu Hai to handle.
In this way, Liu Da's fleet floated on the sea for two days, and finally waited for Liu Hai's missile fleet and returned to Lion City to meet up with it.
As soon as Liu Hai came back, he immediately summoned Liu Da to the guided missile destroyer Nanchang (formerly the Modern-class destroyer) and asked him about the war during this period.
Liu Da was also relieved to have Liu Hai come back, because he really had nothing to do in the face of the madness of Lieutenant General Nehun Paz on land.
Liu Hai was also very angry after listening to Liu Da's report. Since you are so heartbroken, don't blame me for settling the scores later.
Liu Hai has made up his mind that after this battle is completed, he must teach the enemy forces defending Lion City a lesson they will never forget.
