Yang Feng didn't know how Toddman delivered the iron ore distribution map to the Japanese. Anyway, he sent a box of gold to him after half a month, and then news of major progress in the UK-Japan peace talks came. According to Yang Feng's understanding of the Japanese, since they had made such great efforts to hype, it means that they were not far from starting.

Just as these two guys were divorcing, a big battle also began on the Qiantang River. The bald man's second counterattack in eastern Zhejiang officially kicked off. For this counterattack, he mobilized more than 30 troops, and with more than 150 aircraft, he could say that he wanted to take back his hometown from the Japanese.

The battle started with air combat. The high-power radar on Tianmu Mountain guided the main force of the air force dispatched to launch an air strike on the Japanese Qiantang River defense line. The 40 Type 1 and 60 Type 97 of Ningbo Airport took off. The Japanese army, who lacked the Zero, were immediately defeated back to the prototype. Although the Type 1 also had the power of a battle, they were still beaten by thirty double-body demons and 60 of its replicas.

The final air battle was with the loss of fifty aircraft by the Japanese army and the loss of fifteen aircraft by the Chinese Air Force. After clearing the threat of Japanese Army Airlines in the war zone, Martin and Hawk, even the Soviet volunteer aid team and the Chinese contingent of the Royal Air Force, had more than 200 messy aircraft using napalm bombs and high-explosion bombs that roulin the Japanese defense line for more than half an hour, making the bank of Qiantang River like burning wasteland.

The air strike was not over yet, followed by large-caliber heavy artillery bombardment, 130 cannons, 105 cannons, 150 howitzers, 105 howitzers, and even 152 howitzers. Hundreds of heavy artillery were spared to pour large-caliber shells to the opposite shore, because Yang Feng promised him that he could use French currency to buy arms, and now the bald man is just living.

The scene of the earth shaking made the US military observer Major General Stilwell who came to observe it was dumbfounded.

"General, your army's progress is simply amazing. You must know that when I was in China, your artillery also used the 75mm light howitzer as a large caliber heavy artillery, and the shells were very efficient. But now what I see is a powerful firepower that even the US military cannot match." He said to Chen Cheng, the commander-in-chief of this battle with no hesitation.

"General, you will see immediately that the era when the invaders set up a few cannons on the China coastline can make us surrender is gone forever." Chen Cheng waved his hand very heroically.

Stilwell smiled and shrugged.

However, the next scene had nothing to do with modernization. Countless wooden sailboats, small fishing boats, and inland patrol boats carried tens of thousands of soldiers. A long row of more than ten kilometers was lined up. Under the cover of dense artillery fire, one by one rushed out from the mouth of the Grand Canal in Beijing and Hangzhou, and rushed to the other side without hesitation.

Immediately afterwards, the remaining fire points of the Japanese army on the other side began to fire, and the planes hovering in the sky immediately discovered these fire points, and then the artillery groups on the north bank began to be cleared one by one. However, even so, the troops crossing the river still suffered heavy casualties.

Attacking from the canal estuary is the only way for Chinese troops to cross the river. The main firepower of the Japanese army on the south bank has long been aimed at the estuary with preset coordinates. Now it only needs to hide in the fortifications and shoot, so even under such firepower density, a large part of the troops are still preserved.

The scene below will be very spectacular from the air. The entire canal estuary is full of fire red. The attacking fleet is bit by bit, and the floating corpses and ship wreckage flow downstream. The Japanese position opposite is also submerged in a fire belt several kilometers wide. From time to time, you can see the castle being crushed to pieces. Both sides are like two high-speed rotating grinding wheels, squeezing tightly, grinding each other's bodies little by little, grinding the flesh and blood of the river.

On the distant sea, dozens of Japanese inland gunboats were fighting the same desperate battle with cannon groups on the shore. Their goal was to rush into the Qiantang River to block the Chinese army crossing the river. More than a dozen such gunboats had been sunk in the Qiantang River channel.

Seeing the ships loaded with soldiers being torn apart by artillery fire from the other shore, Chen Cheng frowned and ordered the artillery to use special bullets. Soon, balls of light yellow mustard gas rose on the Japanese positions on the other shore, and the Japanese counterattack became much smaller.

Chen Cheng nodded with satisfaction.

The Japanese army in eastern Zhejiang actually had only five divisions left, but they needed to block the attack of 300,000 Chinese troops on the long Qiantang River and Quzhou front line. The troops were seriously scattered. There were only two divisions on the Qiantang River defense line. Although they had perfect fortifications, they had basically become slag under this continuous heavy artillery bombardment. Then, the poison gas was infused, and soon the sound of guns became more and more sparse. The fleet on the canal finally began to rush out of the river estuary on a large scale and rushed to the opposite bank on the river surface more than 1,000 meters wide.

At this time, the Japanese army also began to fight back with the same mustard gas, but they forgot that the Chinese army was on the river surface at this time. It would be difficult for these poisonous gas bombs that used bombs to hit the river water and would have any explosive effect. At most, it would be a little splash. Under the cover of poison gas, a sailboat full of soldiers rushed to the south shore.

With the first ship, there was a second ship. As more and more Chinese soldiers landed on the shore, the breakthrough was rapidly expanding, and more ships rushed across the river, and thousands of soldiers rushed to the south bank. By this time the overall situation of the battle had been settled, and Chen Cheng's face also regained a reserved smile.

"General, I don't think it will take me long to invite you to drink in Ningbo City." He said to Stilwell with a proud look on his face.

"Old General, then we will toast to your victory at that time." Stilwell said with a smile, looking at the dissipating poisonous gas, he smiled even more meaningfully.

When the news of breaking through Qiantang River reached Nanjing, the bald man couldn't wait to hold a press conference and announced the good news to the outside world. You must know that Zhejiang East is an eternal shame in his heart. Even his hometown was stolen by the Japanese, and his ex-wife was arrested by the Japanese. This was a great humiliation. Now he can finally stand up to everyone who laughed at him behind his back.

Of course, breaking through the Qiantang River does not mean the victory of the Eastern Zhejiang Battle. It is probably impossible to reach his hometown in a few months. Besides, it is hard to say whether the Japanese will tolerate him to retake Eastern Zhejiang! It is not impossible if the Japanese army continues to increase troops from the country and drive him back to the north bank of the Qiantang River again.

Just when the main force of the zhongyang army was fighting with the Japanese in eastern Zhejiang, Yang Feng was studying how to expand his submarine force. He had to use a moderate strangle battle to force the Japanese to rob the Qiuming oil field. In this case, the six small submarines were too few, and these submarines were too small and their combat effectiveness was severely limited. However, if you build a larger submarine, you must build a hidden submarine base.

He is now worried about where to choose this base. Within his control, there are many mountains on the coastline. Yanweiqing's long coastline is full of mountains, and there are also harbors suitable for submarine mooring. But the problem is that this hiddenness cannot be solved. Even if you dig holes at the foot of the mountain, it is difficult to ensure the secret. The Japanese are too familiar with this area. Maybe the Chinese are not as familiar with them. Whether it is Qingdao or the coast of Weihai, they are as familiar as their own home.

Moreover, there are many spies in Shandong. These spies may have been lurking in China for decades, so it is impossible to find them out. To be honest, it is hard to say whether these spies have been cleaned up in eighty years. As long as you do some abnormal projects along the coast of Shandong, you will definitely be targeted by them. A long-lasting project like digging holes is absolutely impossible to hide from those who are interested.

Besides, a submarine base is not just about digging holes. At least it has to build a highway and also has to transport a large amount of materials, which makes it even more difficult to be secretive.

What if it was still on Yangma Island?

And it also plays like a floating dock. Go back and get a scrapped 200,000 or even 300,000 tons tanker, then transform the inside, empty it all into a pure empty shell, drag it to Yangma Island to let it sit on the beach. Of course, it must sit at a suitable depth, and then cut the bulkhead out of the inlet and exit underwater, and then the submarine enters and exits underwater.

Such a large tanker must be at least two or three hundred meters long, fifty or sixty meters wide, and the height is even twenty or thirty meters. After the inside is hollowed out, even if a large submarine like Ming-class is hidden, it will not be a problem to hide seven or eight. It can be said that this is his own maritime stadium, and the surroundings are surrounded by iron nets and a shed is basically like a decent look.

But the problem is that there are no such large tankers in this era, not even 50,000 tons. So where did you get them? It seems that it is not easy to explain, but it is no big deal. If it is not easy to explain, it will not be explained. Who can do anything else to make them guess randomly.

If it really doesn't work, just get one hundred thousand tons. It is probably not a problem to accommodate six Ming-class ships in this way.

Yang Feng has already confirmed that he has gone back to find the level of the clarity. The key to this thing is that it is easy to do. The navy has sealed a lot of it. It is nothing more than changing some inappropriate things for himself. It is best to cover all the noise-silencing tiles. In this way, it can be guaranteed to become an oceanic black hole in this era.

However, in this way, the number of crew members is seriously insufficient. You should know that this kind of submarine is not a little shark. You can just use a dozen people to serve them. I guess you can add up all the crew members under your command to get a submarine.

There is no other way, so I can only solve it step by step. Fortunately, he is not in a hurry. Xiaoxi hasn't taken action yet! I guess even if he provoked it, the Japanese would not dare to challenge three powerful opponents at the same time.
Chapter completed!
