Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

A squad leader said: "Report to Commander Lin, the people in the city seem to be disguised by the enemy!"

Lin Yuan thought: "This is not surprising, the Qing army will definitely keep troops." But he still asked: "How did you find out?"

The squad leader said: "Those people are very ruthless. They are not like ordinary people at all. Let me give you an example." He pointed to himself and said, "Have you seen the blood on my body?"

Lin Yuan nodded lightly, and the squad leader said: "This belongs to a soldier in our squad. We were going to post an Anmin notice outside a residential area when we suddenly heard a baby crying from the side, and the soldier went to look at it. , found a baby wrapped in a quilt in a box on the side of the street, and he reached out to pick it up."

"I knew this baby must be weird, so I stretched out my hand to pull him. Who knew I was a step too late, the soldier had already picked up the baby, and then I heard a bang, and the baby exploded, and the soldier was killed on the spot. I was killed, and blood splattered all over me. Only then did I understand that the baby must be connected to explosives, and the baby would explode as soon as it was picked up! Using a baby as a cover, is this something ordinary people can do? "

Lin Yuan said: "Yes, this is indeed unusual, is there anything unusual about it?"

The squad leader said: "Of course there is. After the explosion, gunshots came from the buildings in the residential area, and then the bullets rushed over. Those bullets were very accurate. Two soldiers were knocked down on the spot. How could ordinary people's marksmanship be so accurate?" ? We have fought against the Qing army many times, and there are very few people in the Qing army who are so accurate."

Lin Yuan thought about those Japanese snipers for a moment, and asked hastily, "What does the gunshot sound like?"

The squad leader said: "The sound of the gun is even more strange. In the original Qing army, the guns were fired after one bullet was loaded, and then a bullet was reloaded, so the rate of fire was very slow, but this time the gunfire , are obviously connected, and the interval between each two shots is at most one second!"

Lin Yuan's heart moved, and he thought: "Could it be that the enemy is also equipped with automatic weapons! This possibility is very high. It has been nearly three years since I first used semi-automatic and automatic rifles to fight against the enemy. Maybe they are indifferent!" At this moment, the squad leader said: "Shuai Lin, I have finished what I want to say." The other squad leader hurriedly said: "Shuai Lin, I also encountered a strange thing!"

Lin Yuan looked at him and said, "Speak quickly."

The squad leader said: "I don't think the troops in the city pretending to be ordinary people are not the Qing army at all!"

Lin Yuan frowned, and looked at the squad leader with questioning eyes, and the squad leader said: "Shuai Lin, you have dealt with the Qing army so much, have you ever seen a female soldier in the Qing army?"

Lin Yuan said: "There have never been female soldiers in the Qing army, and there are very few women!"

The squad leader said: "When we went to the residential area today, we met a young woman with a child on the road. She looked to be in her thirties. We didn't pay attention to it, but after she approached us, she threw out an explosive object. The grenades we were equipped with were very similar, and several of our soldiers were knocked down."

"After the woman threw the grenade, she got into a room on the side of the road and shot at us inside. Her marksmanship was very accurate. She fought against the five of us by herself. She fought for five or six minutes. It's gone, and we've also been ordered to retreat."

After listening, Lin Yuan said, "Okay, I understand what's going on? Do you have anything else to report?"

Both squad leaders shook their heads, so Lin Yuan asked the two squad leaders to go back to rest, thinking in his heart: "It seems that there is a strong fighting force in the city, is this sent by the Japanese again? No matter if they are Japanese or not, they Everyone has to eat! I will surround the city to see what they can do."

Lin Yuan turned around and asked the staff around him: "Have the siege troops arrived at the predetermined position?"

The staff officer replied: "We have received reports that the various troops have reached their predetermined positions, and the encirclement has been completed."

Lin Yuan said: "Very well, order the artillery troops to blow up the city walls; let the cooking soldiers cook in a large pot..." Lin Yuan paused here, and asked the staff: "Do you know what to cook that smells so fragrant? far?"

The staff officer smiled helplessly, and said, "Shuai Lin, I don't know either, let the cooking soldiers decide for themselves."

Lin Yuan said: "Okay, please help me to think about the wording of the order. In short, the cooked food can attract the people inside."

The staff officer agreed, and then delivered the order. The bullet rain covered the city wall again, and this time the city wall collapsed even more. Lin Yuan continued: "Let all the troops come to me for a meeting to discuss the next move."

Soon the chief officers of the various units came to the headquarters, and Lin Yuan said: "Let me first inform you about the progress of the Third Division on the Western Front. The Third Division has already crossed the Yellow River on August 28 and conquered Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, etc. one after another. And other important towns are marching southward, forming a two-sided encirclement with our troops on Huaibei."

"The development of the third division is also relatively fast. Now they have formed three new divisions. Our seventh division has to speed up. Of course, Henan has been the geographical center of China since ancient times. The agricultural development is relatively fast and the number of people is relatively large. In addition, Henan has a small area, less land per capita, and the people are more oppressed, so they recruit troops faster."

"The next thing we need to do is to march south as soon as possible. The Qing army has lost the natural danger of the Yellow River. Next, it will stick to the Huaihe River. Guarding the Huaihe River will definitely defend Xuzhou and Huaibei. Therefore, our troops will go south along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to capture Xuzhou. and Huaibei; all the way from Tai'an and Linyi to the south, on the surface it threatened Huai'an, but in fact it was covering the troops attacking Xuzhou and Huaibei."

"Now we are in the west of Shandong, and there is the Shandong Peninsula in the east of Shandong. We will send another army to the Shandong Peninsula to carry out land reform and recruiting and other work there."

Xiao Yingwu asked: "We heard that Yuan Shikai built two warships, and they are now parked in Weihaiwei. Should we let the navy assist us when we go to the Shandong Peninsula?"

Lin Yuan asked, "Two battleships? When did Yuan Shikai have a battleship?"

Xiao Yingwu said: "Why did you forget? Those two warships were built by the Fuzhou Shipping Bureau in Fujian. You saw them when you were in Fuzhou."

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "So it's those two warships! Don't worry, I have seen those two warships, they are all pieced together with discarded parts, they can only be seen but not used, so you can go at ease. .”

Xiao Yingwu said: "Alright then, let's draw up a detailed battle plan."

Lin Yuan said: "Okay, if there is no problem, let's end the meeting. Finally, I would like to remind everyone that according to the situation I have, the current enemy army is likely to be equipped with automatic or semi-automatic rifles and grenades, and their firepower will also decrease. Very powerful! Everyone must emphasize this situation to the grassroots troops so that they can fully consider it when formulating combat plans."

Everyone left the headquarters one after another, Lin Yuan said to Liu Yufeng: "You go and prepare the car, let's go see how the situation of the siege is going?"
