The unknown village is just a small place. Except for the weak young man, the strong leader did not understand Chinese, but knew Chinese characters. He could make simple pen talks with the guests. In this era without Mandarin, even scholars from different provinces in China communicated mostly pen talks, and the guests completed a communication using square characters. ←

There was a Japanese pirate police station in this village not far from Suchuan, but last winter the police collected a group of strong men and food and disappeared for a long time after the New Year. Later, rumors started. Rumors were all saying that the Japanese pirates were defeated in the Qing Dynasty and were killed by the Fuxing Army, so they kept recruiting Koreans to help the war and forced the collection of grain from all over the place. Now, most places have Yi soldiers fighting against the Japanese, and there are Yi soldiers here, but this is too close to Suchuan and close to the railway line. Those people just passed by and did not develop a "base" here. However, some people in the village who were not full went with them, and the brother of the weak young man named Jin Feng was one of them.

After talking with the village head pen named Park Delu, the relationship between the guests and the host became extremely harmonious during the meal. Bai Ru used two boxes of canned meat as a thank-you gift for dinner. This mysterious meat that veterans of the Revival Army would be bored with whenever they eat made Park Delu solemnly thank him. He took out the snake wine treasured in the village, but Bai Ru and Cheng Lu did not drink wine.

It is not too strange for a woman not to drink, but it makes everyone surprised that a woman becomes a sharpshooter who is always shot. Jin Huitai keeps peeking at the sniper rifle that the two are placed in the corner and are wrapped in muslin. She has an indescribable desire. Bai Ru is fine. Cheng Hui, who understands the curiosity of a child, sees him cleverly and asks with a smile: "Do you know how to shoot?"

"Yes. But I can't fight accurately." The young man had long known what kind of person the sniper of the Fuxing Army was. Several of the Japanese pirates were killed by them, and they all got 100%. Under his bedside, there were many anti-Japanese posters emitted by the righteous soldiers. Among them was a picture of a soldier shooting with guns, which was the sniper in his heart.

"What about your gun?" Cheng Xu asked again. The boy's serious appearance reminded her of her son.

The boy did not answer this time. He rushed out for a while and carried a gun over, but when he jumped in, he almost slipped because he didn't stand firm, which caused cheerful laughter to sound inside and outside the house. After confirming that the guests were coming, he was just like watching a show. Men, women, young and old in the village surrounded Park Delu's house and looked at the two Qing people.

Jin Hui was so upset that his face flushed, but he still stood up straight in front of the hero in his mind. When Cheng Hui asked him how to shoot, he made a standard gun-holding posture, and then stood attentively holding the gun and let Cheng Hui see the shadow of the Fuxing Army. Cheng Hui looked at Bai Ru in surprise, but listened to her: "Before and after the founding of the country, many Koreans entered the simple military academy we set up in the Northeast, which is the most taboo thing for the Japanese. If there is no distortion, their actions will be the same as us."

"The gun is still not good." There is no problem with the posture, but if it is not accurate, it is probably because there is a problem with the gun itself. Cheng Xu took the boy's single Ichimurata rifle and guessed. "It may also be an ammunition problem, maybe it can be changed..."

Cheng Xu said that Bai Ru had changed her mind and looked at it. She knew what she was going to do, so she had to say seriously: "According to Article 37 of the Military Rules of the Fuxing Army, it is a violation of discipline, especially when the technology may be leaked."

Bai Ru was very serious. Cheng Xu had to put down his hand with the dagger. According to the research of the General Equipment Technology Research Department, in addition to the ammunition itself affecting the shooting accuracy, the structure of the rifle itself is also a major factor affecting the accuracy. With the help of seven major methods of quality tubes, the research department found that the barrel of the barrel was fixed to the guardrail, which was the culprit of the low shooting accuracy. After all, the consistency of wood fibers as natural materials is very poor. It will form different expansion differences with temperature and humidity, which will inevitably lead to large and irregular stress changes. It seriously damaged the consistency of the barrel vibration.

If the barrel is unfixed and connected to the receiver only through the threads at the tail, there is a clear gap with the guardrail and no direct contact is made, the consistency of the barrel will become very high, and the shooting accuracy will also begin to become regular on the long-distance target. Therefore, all the rifles of the sniper troops use this setting, which later was called the "floating barrel", so that the shooter's hit rate will be greatly improved. And the most commendable thing is that this improvement of accuracy is to release the barrel from the guardrail. There is no cost to spend too much, and make too many changes.

It was only after Bai Ru's explanation that Cheng Wu joined the army this time that he knew the reason why the barrel floated. In order to make the boy beat accurately, he thought about releasing the barrel of the Murata rifle like a sniper rifle. However, this is a violation of military regulations. The reason why the Japanese army was steadily at a disadvantage in the sniper battle in Liaodong was due to training, special ammunition, and floating barrels. Although there are many factors, the change of the floating barrel is the most convenient. A dagger can solve this problem in ten minutes.

After dinner, the two asked the village entrance to ask for a very good house. They did not sleep in the house, but went to the roof. It was already twenty-two, and the moon was getting more and more curved. The crescent moon, which was not clear, was actually a little bloody. Although Cheng Xu was on duty in the middle of the night, she did not fall asleep. She lay on the roof, staring at the moon blankly, and suddenly said, "Why do people always have to be wary of each other, so even husband and wife? Can't people get along equally, freely, and peacefully?"

During the time we spent together, Bai Ru and Cheng Wu had a lot of conversations. From the heart, Bai Ru's opinion was a kind woman. Although she had a lot of resentment because of separation, she was still a good person. At the same time, she was also a strong person. When the wives of other officials in Shenyang went to the hospital, she picked up a gun. But such a kind and strong person always had some unrealistic thoughts and was very prone to trusting others, especially children.

"There are always bad people in the world." Bai Ru couldn't tell any big reason, so she had to answer like this, but her mind was not here when she spoke. In the breeze, she seemed to hear a few erratic gunshots. They were so far and so thin that they could not hear them at all if they were not careful.

When Bai Ru was alert, under the same moon sky, Colonel Eitaro Shinhei on the Japanese ship Izumo armored cruiser was also listening carefully to the sounds everywhere on the sea. However, except for the vibration of the turbine and the "wag" waves that broke through the waves on the bow, he could not hear any other sounds. At this time, he had already passed Dadonggou and was very close to Lushun.

Faced with the blockade strategy of the Chinese submarine, the base camp formulated a night assault plan according to Colonel Sato Toshitaro's method, that is, some fast-speed troops, but older ships escorted a batch of high-speed merchant ships carrying war supplies and supplies to Dagukou, Tianjin at night. Sato Toshitaro, who expected that the Chinese submarine would definitely operate alone, inadvertently thought of the escort system implemented by Britain to fight against German submarines a few years later. In his plan, if the fleet was large enough, the speed was fast enough, and the night was dark enough, the assault fleet could still complete the plan with only a small amount of losses.

Sato Tetrataro's idea is good, but in the eyes of other staff members, the so-called Chinese submarine single-boat operation is simply wishful thinking. Even if the Chinese people are not prepared and the fleet arrives at Taigukou safely in the night, it will definitely be discovered by the Chinese airship during the day. In this regard, the Chinese Navy will definitely mobilize all submarines to round up the fleet. If it is in Dagukou, it is okay, a certain range of anti-submarines can be established here, but what should I do if I leave Dagukou? When the fleet comes back, can it drag the anti-submarine network back?

Sato Tetsutaro was speechless about his staff's questioning. In fact, in his opinion, it was the only way to transport supplies to Tianjin under the blockade of Chinese submarines. If you don't lose a ship, it would be impossible. Sato's plan was originally going to be invalid, but after hearing the Chinese government announced that it would advance to North Korea and help the North Koreans restore the country, the base camp and the cabinet. Even those behind the cabinet could only agree to this adventure plan. The navy drew a faster speed but older warships escorted a group of merchant ships to Dagukou. But unlike the original plan, this was not just about transporting supplies to Tianjin. The base camp also had a requirement that the fleet transport part of the Zhili troops.

At this time, North Korea and its local forces were extremely empty. Take North Korea as an example. Apart from the two reserve divisions that replaced the standing division, there were only the 5th and 8th regular divisions that were withdrawn from Ji'an. But this is said to be two regular divisions. In fact, the strength is only one division and one wing. With these three divisions, even if soldiers are drawn from the country to North Korea, they cannot defend themselves. The real way to ensure North Korea's security is to draw back the troops from Zhili. The more troops transferred back, the smaller the losses suffered in Zhili, and the safer North Korea and the local people will be.

In the eyes of those behind the cabinet, it is acceptable to lose Taiwan under the current situation, and it is acceptable to lose northern North Korea, but it is absolutely unacceptable to let the Chinese army approach Busan and stare at the local area through the horses. The only way to recover the situation now is to stabilize the front line in North Korea and then wait for the end of Europe. At that time, Britain, France and Russia will stand on Japan's side to curb China, which is Japan's last hope to protect its interests. In order to achieve this goal, the Emperor has summoned the Navy Minister and signaled that the old navy ships would be spared even if they lost all of them.

The warships of the Japanese Navy are all the private property of the Emperor. The capital of each warship is a royal family emblem. Since the Emperor does not hesitate for this, the ministers have to risk the entire army to attack the Bohai Sea in order to transport more soldiers back.

Colonel Eitaro Shimohei stood on the bridge, and he had to be alert to explore the surroundings every once in a while. At another time, he stood on the bridge to meditate on why the situation was so in such a situation: is the army's red deer too incompetent, and in a few months, the Japanese and dew could not defeat the Chinese army? Or is the Chinese army really reborn - for the sake of east-west attack on the Lu Kingdom, the people of the Duguo had taught their latest tactics, which made the army not make any contributions? And the navy, how many submarines did the Duguo sell for China? Also, why did other people, including the Buddha, not use submarines on a large scale like China? Did the Chinese really awaken?

Colonel Eitaro Shimohira was thinking about these messy problems, and looked at the endless dark night ahead and suddenly thought about the earth-shaking changes in China in recent years. In his opinion, in his opinion, the Yang family was just an ambitious man who had taken advantage of the chaos and was extremely ignorant. This ambitious man did not think about westernizing China, but instead tried to use ancient Chinese thoughts to govern the country. He thought at the time that this stupid person did not know that all civilizations are established by Westerners? Although China had a splendid civilization for a thousand years, it was a thousand years ago. At that time, Europe had not experienced the Renaissance and had no industrial revolution. But now, a completely modern Europe is something that all East Asian civilizations cannot resist.

The Japanese-Lu War is the best example. Japan defeated Lucia not the Eastern civilization defeated Western civilization. Instead, the more Westernized Eastern nation defeated the less thorough Westernized Lucia nation. If China retreated to ancient times, using the ideas of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, or using the ideas of the older Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties to govern the country, it would only retreat to primitive society.

I suddenly felt ridiculous when I thought about it a few years ago. It was because of a Chinese that did not advocate Westernization but instead advocated returning to the country to defeat the empire that had been fully Westernized. At least on land, China had defeated the empire. If the empire had no navy, then the rest of the war would be negotiations, cede land, and compensation.

Why is this happening? Colonel Eitaro Hirae can't figure out this problem. According to the previous explanation, this problem is unsolvable. China is a country that advocated the ancient tradition of China than the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty also had some signs of westernization. But it is said that in today's China, the clothing and behavior of officials are becoming more and more conservative. There are even reports that even the Chinese government is prohibited from buying and drinking coffee and red wine. The only things they treat guests are tea and herbal tea.

With the sound of waves, Colonel Xiaping's problem had not been finished yet, the first mate came to report: "Your Excellency, we have passed Beihuangcheng Island."

"Have you passed Beihuangcheng Island? Oh, this is already the Bohai Sea." The colonel was a little happy. But he was not happy for long. A destroyer on the side suddenly shone brightly, and several voices shouted: "Thunder on the water! Thunder on the water!"

When they heard about the thunder on the water, the merchant fleet was in chaos. The captains who had repeatedly reminded them before were crazy and they all wanted to sail in the shape of the z-shaped ships, but because the merchant ships were not warships after all. Some ships went to the left and some ships went to the right. For a moment, they were at risk of their own people hitting them.

"Quick! Turn on the lights immediately and send a signal. All ships follow the flagship movement." Colonel Heihei made a quick decision and made the most correct decision, but he could only prevent the ships from colliding with each other and could not resist the torpedo attacks from submarines. Just when the Izumo pilot light was on, a loud flash of light came from the sea. A merchant ship was hit by a torpedo. After the explosion, the merchant ship began to burn, and the flames triggered the ammunition on the ship. After the more dazzling flames and loud noises, the entire merchant ship was blown to pieces. In more than ten seconds, the 4,000-ton merchant ship had disappeared from the sea except for a splash of leaping high.

A merchant ship was sunk, and more merchant ships were panicked, but for submarine attacks, panic was useless. Following the previous merchant ship, another destroyer was torpedoed. Although it was a warship, hundreds of tons of destroyers could not resist the bombardment of a torpedo. The destroyer tilted on the sea in less than half a minute. The lights on the ship illuminated the chaotic and panicked fleet and also shone into Colonel Hei Hidetaro's heart.

"Keep the formation sailing! Fast! Keep the formation sailing, merchant ships are in the middle, warships are around, turn on the searchlights! Turn on the searchlights!" Dazora had a long neck and waved the samurai sword in his hand. He now regretted not sending enough sailors to take over the merchant ships, so that the fleet was so chaotic in the submarine attack.

Because of the order of the Izumo, the accompanying warships regained their calmness. They lined up in two columns to protect the merchant ship in the middle. The searchlights were turned on, and the sea was dark. When everyone was sucking intently, a loud shout suddenly came from a warship: "Submarine! Submarine! Over there, submarine!"

Immediately afterwards, the warship's sub-cannon immediately sounded, and other adjacent warships also fired in the direction that they were indescribable. For a moment, the sound of cannons continued on the sea surface and the flames were everywhere. Colonel Xiaping watched the sailors shooting randomly. He stopped after saying a word. For the extremely panicked fleet, perhaps the sound of the cannon could help everyone get some courage.

The cannons on the warship were stopped by the captain for more than ten minutes. Saving ammunition is a fine tradition of the Japanese Navy. In order to eliminate fear, it was also driven out the submarines to fire a few shots on the sea. However, it had been firing for more than ten minutes. After firing the shells, the shells would be exhausted. What should I do if I really encountered a submarine? After a round of scolding, the cannons on the fleet stopped, and only the searchlight columns and the dark sea were left on the sea.

Twenty minutes later, the General Staff of the Summer Palace in Beijing.

Bei Shoutong, who was not on the night today, was suddenly called out by Xu Jingxi. Just when he thought something was a big deal, Xu Jingxi excitedly said: "Come in! Come in! They are in!"

Bei Shoutong opened her sleepy eyes and heard that it was Xu Jingxi, the madman. When he got up, he fell down again. He closed his eyes and asked, "What's in? Did the Japanese enter the ambush circle?"

"No!" Xu Jingxi was not afraid of disturbing people's dreams at all. He said, "I said the navy has come in, and the Japanese navy has entered the Bohai Sea."

"What!" This time Bei Shoutong jumped up. He said in surprise: "Are the Japanese crazy?"

"The Japanese were crazy, but they just thought they were not crazy." Xu Jingxi laughed: "The submarine u-52 reported that 15 nautical miles south of Lushun, he encountered the Japanese naval fleet. In addition to a large number of merchant ships, there were more than a dozen Japanese naval ships. The torpedo he launched sunk a merchant ship and a Japanese warship. Now the Japanese fleet is sailing in formation, with a speed of about 17 knots because they sail in the shape of Z. It is difficult for him to grab the shooting angle."

"More than a dozen Japanese warships?" Bei Shoutong woke up completely. Although he was encircled and annihilated the Japanese army, the connection and adjustment of various plans still made him very tired. Who made him the Chief of Staff?

"Yes. The Japanese army used searchlights to drive out submarines, so under the reflection, he did not recognize which warships were there, but just looking at the outlines of these warships, they should be large ships of 10,000 tons. The U-52 roughly estimates that there are at least five 10,000 tons ships," Xu Jingxi said. "After I received the news, I was thinking. According to the sir, wasn't it said that the Japanese Navy should be opened to the Internet and keep it as much as possible to maintain pressure on the Americans? Now these warships have entered the Bohai Sea. Should we fight or not? If we want to fight, how should we fight? Will we sink them all?"

War is a continuation of politics, and the General Staff has many plans that are perfect. However, because it does not meet political needs, it has been changed again and again. From the perspective of the alliance and alliance, it is necessary to fight against Japan, but it cannot be defeated. Especially the navy, if you can fight, you will not fight, if you can be injured, you will not be injured, if you can die, you will not be injured, if you die, you will not be injured, if you die, you will be able to hide the birds, thousands of years ago, the Chinese knew it. However, now the Japanese are so mean, running into the Bohai Sea to send people's heads. If you don't fight, you will be accused by the people of the whole country of the navy for being incompetent. Therefore, Xu Jingxi was very hesitant with the telegram from the Navy's office.

Bei Shoutong could fully understand Xu Jingxi's concerns, but he didn't say much, lit a cigarette and sniffed a few times and said, "Please ask the sir for this matter. Now that the Japanese have entered the Bohai Sea, they probably came straight to Tianjin. Didn't they say that the Japanese were setting up a submersible network at Dagukou a few days ago? Since they are here, they can't leave. The sir is in charge of the overall situation, and he will know what to do?"

Xu Jingxi fully agreed with Bei Shoutong's proposal. The two of them drafted a telegram and sent it to Anton. However, at this time, Yang Rui had no time to pay attention to the telegram.

In the combat room of the 7th Army, except Yang Rui, only Commander Li Shutong and Chief of Staff Cao Zude were present. The breeze blew outside the tent swayed the oil lamp. Yang Rui's brow was frowning under the light shadow. In the middle of the night, no one would have been happy to hear the news that his woman was surrounded by the Japanese.

"Do Japan know what they are doing?" After listening to Cao Zude's introduction, Yang Rui was silent for a long time before he said heavily.

"It shouldn't be known." Li Shutong replied while sweating. He had already regretted it thousands of times. If he had told Zhou Kuaili the truth instead of keeping it secret, then there would be no such thing now, but there is no regret medicine in the world.

"Sir, the teacher's wife and Lieutenant Colonel Bai are both snipers. Now the Japanese are stubbornly sniping at that village. It is probably because they sniped them. The Japanese are going to take revenge." Feeling Li Shutong's embarrassment, Cao Zude expressed his immature guess. According to the investigation afterwards, what he guessed was actually very correct.

"How is Zhou Kuai Le?" Yang Rui knew that his woman was a disaster. She should not be called Cheng Wu, but Cheng Huo, or Cheng Huoshui.

"Japan has an advantage in geographical advantages. After all, Commander Zhou is a light infantry and does not have heavy artillery. It is difficult to break in in a short period of time. In fact, Commander Zhou's disposal opinions are very correct. The division's wife and Lieutenant Colonel Bai are in the valley, the Japanese are at the mouth of the valley, and he is outside the valley. If he really wants to attack hard, the Japanese will not retreat into the valley. If this is the case, then the situation will..." Cao Zude said.
