Chapter 734: Leave

The port of Huludao, which has just ended the war, is calm, the scale of this port that has been camped by the Japanese for more than ten years is still good, although it was bombed once in the battle a few days ago, but the loss of the wharf is not too serious, and after a few days of emergency repairs, most of the facilities in the port have returned to normal.

Today, on the island-style structure of the aircraft carrier Bayarn, Laborde, dressed in a snow-white military uniform, grabbed the handrail on the side of the ship with both hands and looked out into the sea in the distance, with a look of worry on his face.

A colonel in a French military uniform walked up behind him and asked softly, "Sir, are you still worried about the fleet of the Japanese himself?" ”

Laborde didn't look back, he nodded and said, "Zorn, we've been here for five days, haven't we?" ”

"Four days and eight hours, sir, to be exact!" The colonel gave an accurate answer.

"Four days and eight hours?" Laborde muttered, "So the combined fleet of the Japanese could appear outside the harbor at any time?" ”

"In theory, that's it!" Zorn nodded, as Laborde's deputy, Zon understood his chief's mood very well, and he couldn't help but comfort: "Sir, don't worry too much, maybe things aren't so bad." Ri himself had just suffered a defeat at Midway, and they didn't necessarily have the time to trouble us. ”

After saying this, even Zon himself blushed a little, and this kind of comfort can only deceive those rookies.

Laborde smiled bitterly, "Zorn, you're still the same, you can't even lie." We have been in China for more than a year, and you don't know how important the Northeast is to Japan himself, if even this kind of thing can endure it, I don't think they need to fight this war, just admit defeat. ”

Zorn touched his head embarrassedly, comforting people is really not what he is good at.

Laborde continued: "If my estimate is correct, the fleet of the Japanese themselves should have already departed at this moment, and if we can start returning to Hangzhou today, we should be able to avoid this wave of attacks by the Japanese themselves, and if we can't return, I am afraid that we will be blocked here by them." ”

Hearing this, Zorn was a little unconvinced, "Sir, you don't have to worry too much, although the Japanese have a strong navy, we also have more than a hundred of the world's most advanced fighters, if we really have a decisive battle, we may not lose to them." ”

Laborde shook his head and said, "Yes, we may not lose, but this is just your imagination. Have you ever thought about it, once the Japanese themselves hit the forces and concentrated all their fighters in the northeast and all the fighters on the aircraft carrier fleet to attack us, do you think that the fleet that can only hide in the harbor can withstand the attack of the Japanese planes that have an absolute superiority in numbers? And it's not like you don't know about the four new escort carriers we have joined, their hull structures are too fragile to participate in battle. ”

Zorn stopped talking, their escort aircraft carrier is the weakness of the fleet, not to mention the slow speed and the hull is particularly fragile, not much, only one heavy torpedo is enough to send them into the sea, once these escort aircraft carriers are sunk, then the hundreds of fighters they carry will all have to go into the sea to feed the fish, when I think of so many fighters and more than 100 of the most elite pilots on the plane, if the battle is lost, this is too big a blow for the weak Third Army Navy, and then the General Su will definitely go crazy.

Laborde sighed slightly, in the final analysis, their strength is too weak, if there are two large new aircraft carriers in the fleet now, it would be good if there were two more aircraft carriers Laborde would dare to fight.

"Wow......"

A rush of footsteps sounded behind him, and a French officer hurriedly ran over to salute Laborde and said loudly: "Report to the commander, the headquarters has sent a message that the 1st Panzer Division has occupied Jinzhou City with the 13:18 pm on the 7th, and General Su ordered our fleet to return to Hangzhou immediately!" ”

"Can I go back to Hangzhou?" Laborde and Colonel Zorn looked at each other and quickly asked, "Is this news true?" If we return, then who will provide air cover for the troops here, you must know that the field airfield on Huludao has not yet been repaired. ”

The newly arrived major shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, but this is indeed an order given by General Su himself." ”

"This ......"

Laborde hesitated, saying that people are so contradictory. Just a few minutes ago, he was still worried that the fleet would be blocked in the harbor by the Japanese himself if he stayed here, but now that he had ordered him to leave, he began to worry that the other party would have no air cover.

Zorn on the side didn't have as many thoughts as Laborde, and after hearing this order, he said with some joy: "Sir, since General Su ordered us to return, then let's leave quickly, if we continue to stay here, it will be troublesome to be blocked by the Japanese fleet!" ”

Laborde pondered for a long time before saying, "Okay then. Ika, you call General Su back immediately, saying that our fleet will return in half an hour according to the order, please take care! ”

"Yes!"

"Sir...... Do you really want to send those French people back? In the command room, Staff Officer Qiu said to Su Jin with some puzzlement: "Now is the time when we are the most vulnerable, Huludao now has only one guard regiment and a heavy artillery brigade, once the Japanese army attacks, we will not even have a way to retreat, it is too dangerous!" ”

"Dangerous?" Su Jin snorted coldly: "We are soldiers, which battle is not in danger, what kind of soldier is it to be afraid of danger, isn't it better to go home and pick up the child?" ”

"It's not!" After being reprimanded by Su Jin, Staff Officer Qiu was a little anxious, and immediately said loudly: "Sir, I'm not afraid. I, Qiu Lihua, have been determined to shroud the horse leather since I hit this military uniform on the boat, what is death! I'm worried about you, you must know that hundreds of thousands of people in our Third Army are pointing at you, if you have any accidents, our group army will be finished! ”

Looking at Qiu Lihua, who was so anxious, Su Jin's face softened, and he patted Qiu Lihua's shoulder and said, "Staff Officer Qiu, I know that you all have the determination and courage to defend the country and sacrifice your lives, and I also know that you are worried about my comfort. But you should also know that this fleet took us several years to build, and it was our work for several years. Now that their position has been exposed, the combined fleet of the Japanese themselves may suddenly appear at any time, and the longer they stay here, the more dangerous it becomes, and you don't want our hard work for several years to be ruined like this, right? ”

"But your safety ......" Qiu Lihua was still a little unwilling.

"What's wrong with my safety?" Su Jin waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "In a few days, our airport will be repaired again, as long as the airport is repaired, our reinforcements will arrive in a steady stream, who can help me at that time!" ”

Seeing Su Jin's appearance, Qiu Lihua and the staff officers in the headquarters knew that the head of the family had made up their minds, so they gave up their thoughts of persuading him. And they just received the news of Jinzhou's liberation, they also think that the Japanese must be staring at Jinzhou now, and they will not pay too much attention to the small place of Huludao, so they will no longer be all Su Jin, but at this time, Su Jin and the staff officers in the headquarters do not know that the Japanese Kwantung Army has received the news that Su Jin is in Huludao from the Chongi Qing side, and a conspiracy specifically against him is also unfolding......

"Huhuhu......"

Ryota Oshima was panting and running desperately in an alley, and he had been running for more than half an hour, and his whole body was drenched in sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the water tank.

When he finally stopped when he ran into a dark alley, he really couldn't run. It stands to reason that as a professional soldier, Ryota Oshima's physical fitness should be good, but since he became a big sa and was transferred to Manchuria as the commander of the garrison, he has been blessed a lot after several years of pampering, and naturally he can't talk about exercising.

Ryota Oshima, who was leaning on the wall, looked around, and the panicked mood after finding that there was no one calmed down a little, but then he couldn't help but feel sad, and the man in his forties actually cried bitterly against the wall. Just an hour ago, the Huaxia troops attacked his headquarters, and seeing that the situation was not good, Ryota Oshima hurriedly put on a set of civilian clothes prepared in advance and quietly escaped from the headquarters alone from a little-known path, and his headquarters was breached less than ten minutes after he left.

After resting for a while, Ryota Oshima, who had regained a little strength, slowly walked towards the other end of Xiao Xiang, but when he was about to walk out of the alley, he heard a few crisp gunshots and a few screams from outside the alley, and then a rush of footsteps rang out, and one of the voices shouted: "Chase, don't let them run!" Inform the troops outside to block the city gate and not let the little devils slip out! ”

After hearing this voice, Ryota Oshima's face couldn't help but become a little pale, and his whole body was cold. Ryota Oshima, who has been in the northeast for five or six years, has already learned to speak Chinese fluently, so he can naturally hear what the people in front of him are saying, and from the words of those people outside, he knows that those Chinese people have blocked the city gate.

Originally, Ryota Oshima planned to slip away as soon as he left the city and never return to the army, because he knew that with the military regulations of the Japanese army, a defeated general like him would inevitably die even if he returned to the army, and his superiors would order him to be disemboweled, even if he was not sent to court-martial. So when he came out, he had already packed all the valuable things he had looted over the years on his back, looking for an opportunity to quietly return to Japan, and then secretly took his wife and children abroad at home, which was a pity that the idea was good, but the reality cruelly broke his dream.

After thinking for a while, Ryota Oshima thought to himself: "No, I can't continue to stay here, if I stay any longer, if those Chinese soldiers find that there is only one way to die, I have to find a place to hide, and wait until the city gate is reopened in a few days before I think of sneaking out of the city." ”

Thinking of this, he quietly returned to the alley, and when he walked into a courtyard, he found that the sound of talking was faintly coming from the courtyard.

"Hey, that's right. You can find a place to stay here for a few days and listen to the rumors. ”

Thinking of this, Ryota Oshima knocked on the door of this house.

After a long while, the door creaked open, and a young man in ragged clothes appeared in front of him.

"Who are you looking for?" Seeing Ryota Oshima standing at the door, the young man asked with some vigilance.

"Hello!"

Ryota Oshima bowed to the other party without thinking, and said with a smile: "I am a businessman who came to Jinzhou to do business in Fengtian, just now due to the war, the inn where I stayed was damaged by a shell, and the shopkeeper of the inn was also killed, so I had to come out and find a new place to live, if you can make it convenient for me, I will be grateful!" Of course, don't worry, I won't live in vain, I'll pay you! ”

"This ......"

The young man hesitated.

This young man is none other than Wang Guoquan. Just this morning, after Wang Guoquan killed the senior soldier Xiwei, this was also seen by the Chinese soldiers who rushed in, and these Chinese soldiers saw that the Japanese soldiers had been killed, and left after instructing Wang Guoquan a few words. After these soldiers left, Wang Guoquan stripped Nishio's whole body and everything of value clean, and then called his wife, daughter-in-law and children out of the vegetable cellar, and the two couples dug a pit to bury Nishio, and then repaired the gate, and not long after they finished all this, Ryota Oshima came to knock on the door.

I have to say that in the five or six years that Ryota Oshima came to China, he still learned Chinese very well, and basically couldn't hear any weird accents. It's just that Wang Guoquan always feels that something is wrong with this guy, but he can't say what is wrong.

At this time, an old voice came from the house, "Dog, who's outside?" ”

Wang Guoquan hurriedly replied: "Mother, it's okay!" It's a businessman, the inn where he lives has been blown up, and now he has no place to live, so he wants to borrow our house to live for a few days. ”

"That's right!" The old man's voice paused, and then he said, "In that case, let him in, who is not in a difficult place to walk outside." ”

Wang Guoquan hesitated for a moment and finally nodded: "Okay!" ”

Seeing that the other party agreed to take him in, Ryo Oshima was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed ninety degrees to Wang Guoquan, "Thank you, thank you!" ”

It wasn't until Ryota Oshima followed Wang Guoquan into the house that he realized how poor the family really was. It is really not hung up at all to describe it as a four-walled house. The house is divided into two rooms, east and west, the middle is the main house, in addition to an iron pot for cooking rice and a few porcelain bowls, there is not even a stool in the house, an old lady with bad eyes and a woman holding two bare-ass children are looking curiously at Ryota Oshima, who has just entered.
