Chapter 484: Port Arthur

The fleet sailed at sea for more than two days, and arrived at the designated sea area of the Bohai Sea on time before dawn in the early morning of the third day. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

This time is also carefully calculated, the speed of the fleet is about 17 knots, and it is about 1,000 kilometers from the Miyako Strait to the Bohai Sea, plus the steering and the like, how much time it will take, and the arrival destination is just before dawn, etc.

And at this time, the Japanese army did not even know anything about it.

In the sea breeze, Zhang Chi walked out of the command room to the side of the ship, looking at the direction of China's Port Arthur from afar.

Because it is still more than ten kilometers away from Port Arthur, and China is very backward at this time, it is still dark and you can't see anything ahead...... If it is modern, the brightly lit coastline is only afraid that it has already come into view.

Staff Officer Liang came out from behind, handed Zhang Chi a cigarette, lit it, leaned on the side of the ship, took a long breath of smoke, and said, "It's finally back!" ”

"yes!" Zhang Chi replied: "It's finally back!" ”

What Staff Officer Liang didn't know was that the meaning of Zhang Chi's sentence "finally back" was different.

Zhang Chi sighed that since he came to this time and space, he has been mixing abroad...... Burma, Austria, and the small islands that even I don't know which country they belong to. Until now, after taking a turn and a round in the Pacific Ocean, I finally returned to the other side of the motherland.

"Master! Do you know that the warriors are grateful to you? ”

"Thank you?" Zhang Chi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then reacted and asked, "Is it because I brought them back?" ”

Staff Officer Liang shook his head and said slowly: "Of course, it makes sense to return to your own country, but this is not the main thing. ”

"That's ......"

Staff Officer Liang smiled: "Master, you have fought so many battles, but you don't seem to understand this troubled world at all!" ”

"How?"

"We have a saying when we are soldiers in China, it is called, 'Once you become a soldier, you only have half a year'!" Staff Officer Liang explained: "This means that as long as you become a soldier, you can live for half a year, and you can earn it!" ”

This is really not an exaggeration if it is used in China, because the country is hungry and fighting, and once the war starts, there will be tens of thousands of casualties, and there is no medicine to treat the wounded, and most of them will die as a result...... For example, in the Battle of Yuxianggui, hundreds of thousands of people will die at every turn, and it really depends on luck to live for half a year.

"And we are ...... now," Staff Officer Liang continued, "it has been more than a year since I followed you from Burma to fight! constantly lives well, and lives a very nourishing life, eats well and dresses well, and chases devils every day...... The brothers said, "Where can I find this kind of life?" It is considered the virtue accumulated in the previous life, and with the right teacher, take them to live a good life! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Can this be considered a good day? Fighting on the battlefield every day, I don't know when it will be glorious or a good day?

But when you think about it, that's true.

Such a day is indeed not a good day when compared to modern times or times of peace. But the problem is that it is now a war era, and the country is still losing and retreating, not to mention the serious shortage of resources and food, not to mention the lack of even a piece of "pure land" that can be called safe, and even Chongqing, where President Jiang stayed, has been bombed by the Japanese army.

Therefore, in contrast, although the expeditionary force was fighting in the Pacific theater, it ate and drank well, and the casualty rate was lower than that of any army in the country or even that of the common people...... This means that it has been improved in all aspects.

Thinking about it, Zhang Chi sighed again: "In this battle, I don't know how many people will die again!" ”

"Don't worry!" Staff Officer Liang patted Zhang Chi on the shoulder: "Brothers can understand, how can there be immortals in war?!" Actually...... Many brothers, even in the army at home, are not all afraid of death, and many times, they believe that death is not worth it. ”

Zhang Chi nodded.

Although Staff Officer Liang did not explain what he said, Zhang Chi could understand that the national army was often crushed in front of the Japanese army...... It is often not that the Chinese are spineless, or that the soldiers do not know how to fight, but that those officers who usually only know how to be powerful and good run away first, so the entire army has become a scattered sand without command, and in this case, if they do not flee with the current, their casualties can be said to be meaningless.

"But it's different now!" Staff Officer Liang said: "The brothers all know that they will fight with the Japanese with the master...... No matter what, it will be exchanged for a few devils' lives, so what are we afraid of? Can't afford to lose! ”

Zhang Chi didn't know how to answer.

This may be the voice of the fighters, but Zhang Chi ...... But he was not willing to trade the lives of the soldiers for the lives of the Japanese, he just had to do it.

At this time, the sun gradually rose from the coastline in the east, casting the shadow of the aircraft carrier island on Zhang Chi from behind.

Zhang Chi turned sideways and looked at the deck of the aircraft carrier, on which there were fighter planes lined up in a neat formation, Zhang Junhua set his eyes on Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi nodded, and Zhang Junhua immediately ordered into the microphone: "Let's go!" ”

"Let's go!"

……

The sound of the fighters' motors soon sounded, and with the waving of signal flags, one after another roared into the sky.

At this time, Port Arthur was still as quiet as ever, and the "tiger's tail" seemed to be slowly swaying as if it were alive in the hazy fog and seawater. (Note: "Tiger Tail" is the southwest entrance of Port Arthur, one end is connected to the land and the tail is deep into the sea, showing a narrow and long reverse "S" shaped curved dike-like landform, which is called "Tiger Tail of Port Arthur" by the locals.) )

The Japanese troops in the harbor drove the Chinese laborers out of their foul-smelling, cramped houses, and although the Yellow Sea was blocked by the enemy by this time, there were still a few transport ships trying to try their luck.

Several Japanese sentries were rubbing their hands together to keep warm while stomping their feet back and forth on the top of the watchtower...... Although the temperature in Lushun in winter is not low, it has also reached zero degrees Celsius today.

To make matters worse, the Japanese army at this time spent all the resources it could gather on the attacking troops in order to fully support Japan's "Operation No. 1" plan. For the Third Front Army stationed in the northeast, they had not changed their military uniforms to winter clothes until this time.

"It's so cold!" Private Takakura, who was on duty, said.

"yes!" Nishida replied: "The cotton clothes are all used by the troops who are fighting on the front line...... Bear with me! ”

"yes!" Takakura said, "When they come back, they should bring back a large number of loot!" ”

The two of them laughed as they spoke.

After laughing for a while, they suddenly heard a "rumbling" sound in the air, followed by the vague shadows of groups of fighters.

Takakura asked a little strangely, "Do you have any of our fighters going to pass by today?" ”

Nishida didn't answer because he didn't know either.

But he didn't have to answer, because the sound of bombs was already in the sky.
