Chen Cheng's side was also fast enough. After just one day, he had sent the two torpedo boats downstream.
Arrived at the Jinling waters.
At this time, two ironclad ships were parked on the river bank at the dock, like two crawling, ferocious beasts.
Ye Qingshan had already obtained detailed data of the two torpedo boats before they arrived.
The displacement of the two torpedo boats is about 400 tons. They are the same model of warships purchased from foreigners in the late Qing Dynasty.
They are considered sister ships.
The above weapons include two 76mm guns and four 4mm rapid-fire guns.
What Ye Qingshan values most is the twin 450mm torpedo tubes equipped on these two torpedo boats.
Ye Qingshan knew that torpedoes were the most effective way to sink enemy warships.
Whether it is bombing or shelling, the effects of other methods are much worse than torpedoes.
In particular, they wanted to sink the Japanese battleship Kirishima, a steel behemoth with a displacement of more than 30,000 tons.
It must be a torpedo.
Otherwise, use as many bombers as you want and drop bombs.
Or, use artillery to bombard.
The falling shells could only destroy the buildings on the deck of the Japanese warships, but could not cause serious damage to the hull of the Japanese warships.
It will all be in vain in the end.
This was verified on the Huangpu River from the Japanese heavy cruiser Izumo.
"Captain of the Dragon Whale, Lieutenant Commander Lu Anmin, greets Commander Ye."
"Captain of the Dragon Turbulence, Lieutenant Commander Zhang Renze, greets Commander Ye."
Not long after the captains of the two torpedo boats came ashore, they came to Ye Qingshan, saluted and reported.
"Haha, thank you for your hard work, captains."
Ye Qingshan held the captains of the two torpedo boats tightly and welcomed them warmly.
With the arrival of these two torpedo boats, Ye Qingshan finally had an additional weapon in his hands that could actively attack the Japanese warships.
This is very important for Ye Qingshan to sink the Japanese warship later.
Even so, at this time, the two torpedo boats of the National Army were no longer equipped with torpedoes.
But this is not a problem for Ye Qingshan.
Anyway, Ye Qingshan is now connected to the Pitt family.
As long as the benefits are great, there will be absolutely no problem in asking the Pitt family to send a batch of torpedoes to Ye Qingshan.
"Commander Ye, we are here on Commander Chen's orders to assist you in dealing with the Japanese fleet.
We will obey your orders from now on."
Lu Anmin said to Ye Qingshan with a smile.
Zhang Renze next to him behaved very coldly.
Because, when Chen Cheng mobilized their two torpedo boats to come over.
Zhang Renze was not very happy about it.
Because he felt that even if his two torpedo boats came over, they could deal with the Japanese battleships without torpedoes.
It's useless except being a target.
As for Ye Qingshan’s promise to get torpedoes.
Zhang Renze didn't believe it at all.
Immediately, Ye Qingshan arranged for two people and the crews on the two torpedo boats to rest temporarily in Xiaguan.
On the way, Lu Anmin still held back and asked Ye Qingshan about the torpedo.
"Don't worry about the torpedoes.
Since, I asked you to come here.
There must be torpedoes for you.
It should happen tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
But if I get the torpedoes, you can't let me down when we attack the Japanese battleship Kirishima.
You must obey my orders completely."
Ye Qingshan spoke to the two of them seriously.
"Commander Ye, don't worry.
As long as we have torpedoes, we will work together to destroy the Japanese battleship Kirishima."
Lu Anmin said with some excitement.
He still has more faith in Ye Qingshan.
If nothing else, it was based on Ye Qingshan's past battle record and his current reputation in the national army.
By the time the two men and their crew were settled, it was already late at night.
There are only three hours left until dawn.
Ye Qingshan looked to the north, and the sound of gunfire from the riverside on the west side of Shogun Mountain had weakened a lot.
This made Ye Qingshan a little worried.
Because, that was the position where Wang Dachuan's troops blocked the two battalions of reinforcements from the Japanese 13th Division.
The Japanese 13th Division was able to dispatch two battalions to rush to the riverside for support.
This was something Ye Qingshan had not expected.
Originally, Ye Qingshan thought that the Japanese could only mobilize a battalion of troops, which should be the limit.
It was indeed difficult for Wang Dachuan's only battalion of 500 people to deal with two battalions of Japanese invaders.
So, Ye Qingshan changed his plan later.
Wang Dachuan was only allowed to lead his troops to block the two Japanese battalions for one night.
At the same time, in the evening, Ye Qingshan had sent news to Zhou Pingkou's troops in the city.
Ask Zhou Pingkou to send two more battalions of troops over.
It is expected to arrive early this morning.
Just when Ye Qingshan and Wang Dachuan's troops in the north were worried.
At Xiaguan Wharf, Lu Dahai had already returned by boat.
After the boat docked, Lu Dahai rushed ashore carrying the injured Wang Dachuan.
"Quick, where is the hospital, take us there.
Captain Wang was seriously injured and needs medical treatment urgently."
Lu Dahai shouted loudly to a military policeman on the shore.
"Yes!
follow me. "
After hearing this, the military police immediately led Lu Dahai and others towards the field hospital.
Soon, Ye Qingshan also received the news.
"Wang Dadan was seriously injured?"
After hearing this, Ye Qingshan frowned.
"Let's go to the hospital."
Ye Qingshan took Xiao Wusheng and others and went straight to the field hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, Ye Qingshan found Lu Dahai outside the operating room and asked, "How is Dadan's injury?"
“Commander Ye, Brother Bold is seriously injured.
The doctor is performing surgery inside. I don’t know if he can make it this time.”
Lu Dahai was a little sad.
After a moment, he continued, "I should have gone over to provide support earlier."
Ye Qingshan patted Lu Dahai on the shoulder and asked, "What's the situation in the north? Has the position been lost?"
"No."
Lu Dahai shook his head.
"The position is still in our hands. Their battalion fought a bloody battle all night, and then I led the troops to launch a surprise attack on the Japs' rear.
As we attacked from both sides, the Japanese finally retreated.
The position was still in our hands until I returned.
We didn’t let the Japanese reinforcements get through.”
After hearing this, Ye Qingshan also breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Dachuan's injury is already bad news.
If the position was broken through by the Japanese again, the situation would be extremely unfavorable for Ye Qingshan.
"Okay, go over here, I'll guard it.
Take your men back to the riverside.
The Japs will not stop tonight, and we need someone to take charge of the front line."
Ye Qingshan sent Lu Dahai back to the front line.
"Don't worry, Commander Ye, I'll be back soon.
When I left, half of our battalion was stationed on the river.
The Japanese want to clear the mines at night, but it is wishful thinking. "
Lu Dahai said in a decisive tone.
Then he left the hospital and returned to the front line.
