1929 I am a chaebol in the United States

Chapter 234 We sank 2 warships

Lu Chen watched from the shore as the two cruisers of Xiao Ri rushed into the minefield set up by his men at full speed. This made Lu Chen very excited. He stared at the two cruisers intently, expecting the mines to sink them.

Because of the time-delay fuse that Lu Chen had people use, the mines did not explode after the first ship entered the minefield. It was not until the cruiser behind entered the minefield that the mines that had been triggered in advance began to explode. Two or three mines exploded directly on the bottom of the cruiser, creating several large holes under the ship. The surging river water poured directly into the hull from these two large holes.

The people on the ship tried their best to plug the gap. But the gap was too big for them to plug. In addition, the warship was flowing with the current, and soon a mine blew a hole in it. They gave up the treatment of the warship.

The warship leading the way saw the warship behind it hit a mine and immediately slowed down to prevent itself from hitting a mine. But this was obviously not his decision. Since Lu Chen and Hans were both landlubbers, they did not know how to properly deploy the mines. So the mines they deployed were not very far away. In addition, this was in the river, not in the sea. So, from the explosion of the first mine, a chain reaction was immediately triggered. Soon, the mines began to explode in the water like firecrackers.

After being damaged by the mines, the two cruisers were in tatters, so they could only wait to sink.

Seeing this scene, Lu Chen cheered excitedly. He shouted at the two cruisers in the middle of the river:

"My little ones, your end has come. The Dragon King will treat you well."

After the two cruisers completely sank, Lu Chen led his men away. After leaving, Lu Chen went straight back to Yangcheng. He left the penicillin he brought with him and some of his men in Yangcheng. He took Hans and some of his men back to the Philippines.

The sinking of the two cruisers caused such a big noise that it directly alarmed the people nearby. Soon, a security team came to this section of the waterway. After their inspection, they confirmed that the two cruisers of Xiao Ri sank here. After a while of asking around, no one knew who did it.

Such a great achievement had no one to claim, so the security team that arrived accepted the credit without hesitation, and immediately sent a telegram to Jinling to report their results.

After receiving the battle report, Guang Tou Qiang was very suspicious whether these people were lying about military intelligence. In order to verify the authenticity of the battle report, he immediately sent people to investigate. The results of the investigation were beyond Guang Tou Qiang's cognition. A security team with 20 guns in hand actually sank two cruisers. If someone had said this to his superior in the past, his superior would have slapped him. But now the wreckage of the two cruisers is at the bottom of the water. No one can find a reason to refute it.

But Guang Touqiang was optimistic. No matter what kind of army it was, it was still his army. So he said to the foreign reporters with great enthusiasm that day:

"Our troops sank the two cruisers that attacked Nanjing in the inland river. If the war doesn't stop, we will sink more of their warships."

After Xiao Rizi got the news, his first reaction was that Bald Qiang was lying. How could Bald Qiang's crooked navy possibly sink their warship? So they immediately contacted the two cruisers on the mission, but after a long time, there was no response.

So Xiaori started to panic, they started to worry about the two cruisers, so they used a lot of manpower to verify the matter. Finally, a day later, it was confirmed that what Bald Qiang said was true.

This result made Xiao Rizi, a military power known as the "third largest navy in the world" and "the first largest navy in Asia", completely furious. They decided to send more reinforcements to increase the offensive against the Magic City. This immediately put a lot of pressure on the defenders of the Magic City. Especially since Xiao Rizi got the defense map again. In this way, Xiao Rizi can find the weak points of the defenders every time he attacks.

As the most advanced unit, Lu Jiaming's troops were under great pressure and they almost couldn't hold on several times.

But fortunately, every time when Lu Jiaming was about to lose his defense, Xiao Ri would stop attacking. This made Lu Jiaming feel a little strange. These Xiao Ri were about to break through his defense line, why did they suddenly retreat?

In fact, this was all the credit of Shanzhong Erbi, because Shanzhong Erbi reported to his superiors that Lu Jiaming was a spy for Xiaorizi. This made Xiaorizi pay great attention to Lu Jiaming and hoped that he would sit in a higher position, so that Lu Jiaming could play a key role in future wars.

So they took the initiative to give Lu Jiaming credit. They didn't break through the defense line that could be broken through. They used this method to increase Lu Jiaming's credit.

But this situation did not last long, as Jinling soon sent reinforcements, and the two sides immediately engaged in a tug-of-war.

After more than ten days of fighting, Lu Jiaming's troops, as the garrison of the Magic City, had suffered more than one-third of casualties. But they had no intention of retreating. Not only that, they set up an ambush and surrounded the "Kurume" mixed brigade in one fell swoop. And successfully devoured this powerful force.

Finally, Xiao Rizi had to increase his troops again. The number of Xiao Rizi who attacked the Magic City reached more than 70,000, and the commander was changed from a major general to a general.

After a month of fighting, Xiao Rizi and Jinling were very restrained, so there was no large-scale fighting for a long time. The two sides began to enter a stalemate. Lu Chen also learned about the battle situation in the Magic City from the report sent by William. After learning that the two sides had entered a stalemate, Lu Chen immediately realized that this was basically the end of the war.

By May, when the major powers such as Britain, France and the United States come out to mediate, the two sides will immediately cease fire.

He was mainly concerned about the situation of his two brothers. After receiving William's telegram, he immediately sent a telegram to William to ask about the situation of Lu Jiaming and Lu Yunting.

William quickly sent him a telegram back. His second brother Lu Yunting had been staying in the company, and nothing happened. But his eldest brother was seriously injured, but fortunately it was not fatal. Now his eldest brother has been sent to the hospital in the rear.

Lu Chen was finally relieved after hearing the news. He immediately notified the people he had left in Yangcheng to deliver the batch of penicillin he had left in Yangcheng to Lu Jiaming.

I believe that with this batch of penicillin, my elder brother's injury will heal soon.
