The Japanese flagship "Izumo" cruiser is moored on the Huangpu River outside the Japanese consulate, and it is escorted by the entire Third Fleet, including another flagship Notoro armored cruiser.

Admiral Kiyoshi Hasegawa, the commander of the 3rd Fleet Headquarters, was also looking through the intelligence documents in his hand about the Marine Corps' operations, and there were also a group of naval officers and staff standing beside him.

"Your Excellency Commander!"

"I just received news that the Army has dispatched the "Kisarajin Regiment", one of the two elite aviation forces, to Songhu and Hangzhou to bomb the China Army's airports!"

"Major General Tomashige Samejima of the 4th Air Force, Major General Sadazō Mitsumi, commander of the 2nd Combined Air Force, Colonel Osamu Imamura, commander of the 12th Air Force, Colonel Sadatoshi Chida, commander of the 13th Air Force, Kaiji

The commander of the 2nd Air Force, Major General Horie Rokuro, has also received the latest appointment from the base camp and deployed the flying force!"

"As long as Commander Matsui Iwane and the subsequent reinforcements land in Songhu and carry out operations, they can complete the configuration of the latest organization and launch an attack at any time!"

"The base camp is expected to give us 1,000 aircraft for this Songhu Battle. However, there will not be so many aircraft dispatched at the beginning of the war. It will only be accumulated in the follow-up!"

"In addition, the reinforcements commanded by Commander Matsui Iwane are already riding in the transport fleet and are about to reach the outer sea area and enter the Huangpu River for landing operations!"

"Commander, please give me the latest instructions!"

When Admiral Kiyoshi Hasegawa, the commander of the 3rd Fleet Headquarters, read all the intelligence documents,

Staff officer Furuta Kanji, who had been staying by his side, also hurriedly reported the latest information.

"Huh? Commander Matsui Iwane finally arrived with reinforcements?"

"Yo Xi! This is a good thing!"

"I'm impatient to wait for them to come. If they still can't come, I'm afraid my Marine Corps will be unable to hold the headquarters. Call me immediately to Commander Matsui Iwane and ask him to command the troops.

Come to us as soon as possible tonight, and it is best to use the cover of night to carry out landing operations!"

"As for our naval fleet, we will definitely ensure their safe landing operations. Our naval gun groups and flying units will definitely carry out all-weather assistance operations, and will repel all the Chinese troops that block their landing operations.

!”

"As for the "Kisarazu United" who have already gone out to fight, I only hope they can perform better!"

"In the end, we can blow up all those damn airports of the China Army!"

"Although I despise these flying units of the China Army and won't take them seriously, they are as hateful and annoying as flies, so it is better to annihilate them all in the end!"

After listening to the latest report,

Admiral Kiyoshi Hasegawa, commander of the 3rd Fleet Headquarters, was in a good mood.

Especially after knowing that the army troops led by Commander Matsui Iwane were about to arrive in Songhu in a transport fleet for support operations,

His original gloomy mood suddenly disappeared.

Instead, I feel happy.

And immediately issued instructions to staff officer Furuta Kanji.

"Hai!"

Staff officer Furuta Kanji quickly agreed.

At this moment, the air defense sirens of the entire Third Fleet suddenly rang.

The noisy sound of whining,

It quickly resounded throughout the Huangpu River,

Because at this time, the pilots of the Fourth Battalion of the Chinese Air Force separated into a squadron and flew over the Japanese Third Fleet to conduct bombing operations.

So after the Japanese naval fleet's air defense siren sounded,

The sound of a series of naval gunfire and bombardment, the sound of anti-aircraft machine gun fire, and the sound of anti-aircraft artillery fire also started to roar.

All the soldiers and civilians on the Huangpu River, including the foreign troops and citizens in the Songhu Concession, were immediately alarmed by the air attack on the Japanese fleet by the National Army flying force.

There are even foreign reconnaissance planes and air launches that take off for observation and reconnaissance.

As for the foreign troops and citizens in the Songhu Concession, many people were at the Huangpu River, watching with binoculars or watching with the naked eye.
