"A shy little girl."

He Changying smiled slightly, and was just about to retract her gaze, when she suddenly saw this girl suddenly slammed into her body, and looked over again in surprise.

There was a look of surprise in his eyes.

"Why have you seen it before, and you are still frightened by the extraordinary momentum of the brother?"

He Changying's heart was rare at this time, and she couldn't help but joke.

The girl's pretty face turned red, and she hurriedly avoided He Changying's ridiculous gaze, stepped forward and grabbed the little boy's arm and said anxiously: "Little brother, don't run around, the big steamer is out of the Bohai Sea, and there will be Japanese warships on board to inspect at any time, it's very fierce!" ”

"I'm not afraid, our eldest brother will take the anti-Japanese army to kill them!"

The little boy struggled in the girl's hand and shouted, looking unconvinced.

When the girl heard her little brother say this, her little face turned red with anger, and she reprimanded angrily in a low voice: "Still talking nonsense, have you forgotten your father's explanation when you go out?" If you talk nonsense, go back to the cabin and tell your mother to see how she cleans you up. ”

"I'm not afraid, don't drag me——, I haven't had enough of it!"

In the little boy's struggle, the sister and brother pulled and walked away, He Changying retracted his gaze, and saw Xu Bangdao, Jia Qisheng, and Tang Shaoyi smiling eyes.

On the other side, Liu Pingyun and Lu Zhaomei tightened their mouths and smiled bitterly.

"See what I do? I really don't know. ”

He Changying couldn't help but touch her nose in embarrassment, feeling that her old face was a little red.

Leaving the battlefield this time, it was a rare wilt, and I tasted the demeanor of 'Fat West Evil Youth' that I had never tasted, but I didn't expect to be teased by my subordinates.

Moreover, this little girl obviously recognized herself, and kindly reminded that after leaving the Bohai Sea, there would be an Oriental warship inspection.

This person has lost enough money!

"Understand, understand, don't people be reckless and mischievous. Haha-"

Jia Qisheng couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.

"I also said let me keep my mouth shut, this face of my own, I have seen half of Jinmen, why am I not afraid of being recognized, now it's okay!"

Lu Zhaomei on the side muttered in a low voice extremely unhappily, anyone who has been a dumb person all the way for a few days will be very unhappy in her heart.

"Do you want to do the following?"

Liu Pingyun whispered an order.

"No, this girl looks very tight, and she shouldn't say anything; Besides, when I get to Hong Kong in half a month, who will pay attention to this matter if I say it. ”

He Changying shook his head and vetoed, and said with a bright face: "Wait until a little longer, then it will already be known to the whole world, and there will be nothing left!" ”

That being said, after that, He Changying and the others still returned to the cabin, and they didn't come out again until dark.

In the darkness of the night, the merchant ship Hawaii sailed eastward on the sea and headed for the mouth of the Bohai Sea.

At this time, the torpedo boat formation in the Lushun Military Port, 10 torpedo boats, 3 motorboats, under the night, the formation of naval soldiers quietly entered the ship, quietly waiting.

The moon gradually rose, and then slowly set to the west, and the military port was quiet.

Time is passing away in a little bit.

During the day today, all the soldiers and ordinary officers of Lushun felt an indescribable excitement and joy in the upper echelons of the regiment.

Although everyone didn't know what the reason was, they were all keenly aware that something big was about to happen.

And it's sure to be a great event!

What they didn't know was that on this night, even at two o'clock in the morning, all the senior generals of the Lushun Regiment of the Anti-Japanese Army did not sleep.

Instead, he looked at the pocket watch around him over and over again.

"Knock, knock!"

The bronze bell in the temple on the Iron Mountain struck twice faintly, and the sound spread far and wide.

Some of the people of Lushun City, who were woken up by the sound of the bell, were muttering in the warm bed, what kind of nerves did these monks have tonight, and they rang the bell in the middle of the night.

Only those who understand the meaning of it can know what Chen Shijie ordered to do here.

"Let's go!"

Those high-ranking generals in Lushun City, as well as the senior generals of the Lushun Legion who personally sat in each fort tonight ,——, Tiger Tail, Golden Mountain, Baiyu Mountain, walked outside one after another.

With excitement, look at Port Arthur from afar.

At this time, a few signals flashed from the Golden Mountain Fort, indicating that the accident was safe and could sail.

Immediately, the torpedo boat formation moored in the West Harbor emitted a faint red light, and slowly sailed away from the pier and headed towards the lion's mouth.

March 18, 4 a.m.

Bohai estuary, Beitongji waterway.

In the thick of the night before dawn, the merchant ship Hawaii began to sail into the Beitongji waterway of the Bohai Strait and sailed out of the Bohai Bay.

He Changying and his party of twenty-six people (three people from the Dagu Military Station) quietly came to the empty deck of the ship, and then began to put down the four small life-saving sampan boats on the merchant ship.

In order to prevent the boat from being overturned by a high-speed steamer, everyone was given an inflated goatskin raft.

In a cautious manner, all four small boats were released into the sea without danger.

Watching the Hawaii gradually move away, everyone's previous worries were put down.

It's not that I'm afraid of being discovered, but I'm afraid that the waves stirred up by the merchant ship will overturn the sampan, so that even if I can return to the ship, I will be soaked, which is a fatal thing in this weather.

"Brothers, go back to Lushun!"

He Changying couldn't help but yell happily, and the voice spread far and wide on the sea.

"Go back to Lushun and beat the Japanese army!"

In the night, there was a roar of excitement from the four small boats floating on the sea.

"Hurry up and row out of here, in case a big ship with a short eye rushes over, it's a matter of fact."

Zheng Zerun, the deputy battalion commander of the former Beiyang Naval Division who got on the boat from the Dagu Military Station, and is now recovering from the wounded of the Anti-Japanese Army, said loudly: "Hurry up and row to Daqin Island." ”

"Haha-"

The officers of the anti-Japanese army on the four small boats were all laughing happily, turning on their flashlights and leaning the boats together.

Then he paddled vigorously in the direction of Daqin Island.

"Wow, wow—"

He Changying rowed for a while, then she was tired and sweaty, handed the oar to Lu Zhaomei, and looked at the sky in the east that had become white.

At this time, it was already 5:30 in the morning, and Daqin Island in the north was already vivid, but if you really want to row over, it will not take three or four hours, and there will be no drama at all.

"Warships, warships! - It's our warship! ”

At this moment, there was a sudden uproar on a small boat nearby, and even the rowing officers put down the oars in their hands and stood up to look at it from afar.

He Changying also stood up in surprise, only to see that in the mist on the sea in the early morning, a column of torpedo boats was breaking through the fog and heading towards Daqin Island.

On the masts of these torpedo boats, the bright yellow dragon flag of the Qing Dynasty fluttered high, and the red flag of the anti-Japanese army was waving in the wind.

"Oh-"

Suddenly, there was cheering on the boat, and everyone put down the oars in their hands, stood up and waved their hands.

"Whew-"

The torpedo boat formation to the north apparently also spotted these four small boats, and the ships made a 'whine' whistle, while a large number of soldiers rushed out of the deck of the torpedo boats, standing on the side of the ship and waving their hands.

The torpedo boat formation then sped up.

At this time, the fishermen on Daqin Island, Xiaoqin Island, and Nanhuangcheng Island also came out of their houses and stood on the island to watch and cheer.

These fishermen hanging alone in the Bohai Sea have no idea at all, and no one will tell them anything about national affairs and changes in the world.

However, they knew that the Beiyang sailors who used to hang around the Bohai Sea all day long were nowhere to be seen these days.

On the contrary, it is the warships of the Japanese people, cruising all day long in the Bohai Estuary.

He also fired artillery to sink the Qing ship.

This made them all tremble, and they didn't know what was going on with the imperial court?

Now it's good.

The warships of the Qing Dynasty have finally reappeared!
