Chapter 2664 If you want revenge, come with me! (Part 1)
The problem is that the explosion wasn't just from one place; it was as if two different locations exploded simultaneously, followed by a series of violent secondary explosions.
Then, explosions were heard intermittently on the surface of the Yangtze River and at sea near Shanghai.
The people inside the warehouse were all bewildered, because they couldn't tell what kind of explosion it was.
However, the two enormous mushroom clouds in the distance made them realize that an explosion had occurred on the surface of the Yangtze River.
So they all became curious!
After all, at this point, almost all the ships on the river were Japanese. If the Japanese ships exploded, could it be that some country had joined the war?
The attacking Japanese soldiers also realized the danger. After all, they came from the sea and had a huge advantage. The violent explosion could only mean that their ship had exploded.
While the Japanese soldiers below hesitated, the soldiers inside the Sihang Warehouse came up with a new idea: to drop the mortar shells nose-down.
Carrying a shield is already tiring enough; if you encounter a grenade, you might not die, but you'll definitely break a bone.
But after the mortar shells exploded, they instantly knocked down a large group of people, and the others were also thrown to the ground.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the soldiers on the rooftop began firing fiercely, quickly wiping out the attacking soldiers.
What intrigued them even more was that the snipers who had been suppressing their fire had suddenly stopped attacking, raising their own questions.
Moreover, what's most unbelievable is that the follow-up attacks that were supposed to take place that day actually stopped on the same day.
What they didn't know was that the aircraft carriers Hosho and Ryujo, which were very close together at sea, had actually exploded.
Because the two aircraft carriers were already blocking the mouth of the Yangtze River, they and their escort ships were very close to each other. As a result, the violent explosion not only hit several ships first, but also caused them to explode, killing a large number of soldiers on board and even directly blocking the mouth of the Yangtze River.
Of course, water has no fixed course, and these sunken ships cannot stop the water from flowing eastward. However, if large ships want to pass through, it will take time to sort things out.
The Japanese launched the Battle of Shanghai again, sending a total of three aircraft carriers and one seaplane carrier, the Shenwei.
Now, only the aircraft carrier Kaga and the distant surface carrier remain. This enormous loss shocked the Japanese, so they will not launch another attack until they figure out the cause of the explosion.
After all, the loss of these two aircraft carriers was too great. If it was indeed a surprise attack by the enemy and the remaining two aircraft carriers were also sunk, the Japanese would not be confident that they could occupy Shanghai steadily with only the army without air support, let alone pursue Nanjing along the way.
Of course, the snipers who were preparing to cooperate with the shield soldiers were originally ready to fire from their cover on the roof, but the sudden shockwave overturned the surrounding cover and injured them directly.
That's why the Japanese soldiers carrying shields had no help and were annihilated right there downstairs.
At this time, the telegrams from the various countries watching were also flying by, because they were also very curious about which wave had joined the war.
Meanwhile, various factions within the country quickly received the news and began sending telegrams, all trying to understand the situation. Because of this, the Sihang Warehouse remained surrounded, and no further fighting broke out, giving Commander Xie and his warriors a chance to regroup.
Meanwhile, Wang Yue went to the seaside to inquire about other aircraft carriers and seaplane carriers, but he couldn't find them at all.
Firstly, there were no satellites at that time, and secondly, after the two aircraft carriers exploded, the remaining aircraft carrier and a seaplane carrier retreated dozens of nautical miles, precisely because they were worried about being attacked again.
Seeing this, Wang Yue did not continue the pursuit, since the two huge explosions had already altered the outlet of the Yangtze River.
Now, apart from some small boats that can only squeeze through the gaps, large ships simply cannot pass through.
It would be virtually impossible to dredge the river, since heavy transport ships simply cannot get in, and light ships simply cannot lift those iron lumps that have sunk to the bottom of the water.
Without the support of these warships and naval air force, and due to the explosions, the speed of the Japanese advance would likely be slowed, allowing Nanjing to prepare more thoroughly.
After Wang Yue felt relieved, he began to study his task.
His main mission is to conquer and disguise himself, so he must remain hidden and not expose himself.
Wang Yue's first side quest was to win over Yu Manli, and this time the system provided him with information about Yu Manli.
Yu Manli is probably preparing to take revenge now, and Wang Yue's visit at this time is a good opportunity to win people's hearts.
So, taking advantage of the lull in Japan's surprise attack, Wang Yue hurriedly went to Nanjing, then boarded a ship bound for Chongqing, traveling upstream and quickly arriving in Chongqing.
Chongqing is still under the control of General Chen Cheng, but although it is nominally a provincial government, it is actually still in a state of warlordism.
After all, this area originally belonged to the Sichuan Army's sphere of influence, but after Liu Xiang died in Hankou in 36, it was taken over by Chen Cheng.
While Chongqing was still in a state of chaos, which led to the emergence of so many robbers, Wang Yue felt that this was his opportunity to get closer to Manli.
Yu Manli was sent to study in Beiping by Mr. Yu. Mr. Yu made this arrangement so that she could live a good life away from trouble and where no one knew him.
It was only after the July 7 Incident that Yu Manli was forced to travel from Beijing to Changsha with the school. At that time, the journey was chaotic and war-torn. As a young woman, Yu Manli could not travel back alone and could only retreat with the teachers and students of the school. It was not until September that the United University was established in Changsha.
After settling into the school, Yu Manli felt that Chongqing was not far away, so she came to Chongqing with me, only to learn that Mr. Yu had died.
When Wang Yue arrived, he happened to see Yu Manli standing at the entrance of the brothel, about to walk into it.
Seeing this, Wang Yue quickly stepped forward and stopped Yu Manli, saying solemnly, "If you want revenge, come with me."
