Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Xiong Tiesheng was still very enthusiastic when he saw Fade Chen. He greeted each of Fade Chen's brothers one by one, like an old friend reunited, not at all like a life-and-death opponent on the battlefield. After a few words, Xiong Tiesheng stayed by Fade Chen's side and loudly introduced the situation of the surrendering troops to Fade Chen.

Afterwards, some soldiers came out from the city. Fade Chen saw that all the soldiers looked happy, so he stopped a soldier and asked, "Why are you so happy?"

The soldier looked at Fade Chen blankly, as if he didn't understand what Fade Chen said, Fade Chen turned to look at Xiong Tiesheng beside him, and Xiong Tiesheng said, "Brother Chen, don't worry, these soldiers were recruited from the local area, and many of them didn't He speaks official dialects, but the local dialects are different, and the customs in the Jiangnan area are very different, and the people in the neighboring villages may speak different words."

Chen Fei asked: "Then you translate for me, what did he say?"

Xiong Tiesheng laughed and said, "Brother Chen thinks too highly of me. I have just arrived in Jiangnan not long ago. How could I have learned such a complicated dialect in such a short time?" Xiong Tiesheng turned around and called, "Master Zhao, come here."

A middle-aged literati heard Xiong Tiesheng's words and ran over from a distance. He came to Xiong Tiesheng and bowed to him. Xiong Tiesheng pointed at the literati and said to Fade Chen: "This is my translator, Master Zhao! Master Zhao, come to Master Chen Translate Translate, ask this little soldier why he is happy?"

Then Master Zhao talked to the little soldier, and then he said to Fade Chen in official language: "My lord, he said that he was just a man who went to the city to sell goods, but he was pulled into the army, and now he can finally go home. "

Fade Chen nodded thoughtfully, pointed at Mr. Zhao, and asked, "How many people like you who can speak both Mandarin and dialect?"

Master Zhao said: "There are still a hundred or ten."

Fade Chen called the staff officers around him and said: "Gather all these people and assign them to each company, no! If you want to assign them to each platoon, we will not be able to fight without people who understand dialects."

The staff officer agreed to come down to make arrangements, and after a while, all the troops in the city surrendered. Fade Chen saw that 80.00% of the soldiers were civilians who had been captured to make up the number, so he released them all. When the Japanese army came out to attack, they couldn't help but wondered, so they asked Xiong Tiesheng, "Where are the Japanese in your city?"

Xiong Tiesheng asked in surprise: "Japanese? How could there be Japanese?"

Fade Chen said: "We were attacked by a small group of Japanese troops in Luoxia Town, and we found traces of a large number of Japanese troops ambushing in Xiapo. Didn't they come to Jiangyin City?"

Xiong Tiesheng suddenly realized: "It turns out that the gunshots in the direction of Luoxia Town today were made by you. We are still thinking, why are you shooting yourself when you have nothing to do? Could it be that the bullets are too heavy and you don't want to carry them on your back?"

Fade Chen frowned and said, "Don't change the subject, tell me quickly, do you really not know the whereabouts of the Japanese army?"

Xiong Tiesheng shook his head in a daze, and Fade Chen thought: "I don't know if Xiong Tiesheng is lying to me? I should ask some soldiers." Thinking of these things, Fade Chen asked his subordinates to find a big house in the city as a prisoner-of-war camp and imprison Xiong Tiesheng and other high-ranking officials. Then he asked his subordinates to find some soldiers, and Fade Chen asked one by one: "Have you ever seen an army that is different from yours in the city? They wear grass-green uniforms, and the guns they hold are also different from yours."

The soldiers shook their heads one after another, and the soldiers guarding the city gate also said that no troops had entered or left recently. Fade Chen thought to himself: "It seems that the Japanese army is really not in Jiangyin City." Fade Chen then contacted Lin Yuan and said, "The Japanese army is not in Jiangyin City at all!"

Lin Yuan said, "Not in Jiangyin City? How is that possible?"

Fade Chen said: "We have already brought down Jiangyin City, and there is indeed no trace of the Japanese inside."

Lin Yuan said: "Since they are not in Jiangyin City, where will they go?"

Fade Chen asked, "Should I send out a drone to do some reconnaissance?"

Lin Yuan said: "Okay, but drones are not omnipotent. There are many villages and towns in this area. If the Japanese army hides in the villages or towns or in the woods, our drones will not be able to find them."

Fade Chen asked: "Then what should we do now? Do we still have to go to Zhenjiang? There is such an elite soldier hiding behind him, just like a knife on his back!"

Lin Yuan said: "You don't want to march into Zhenjiang yet. The two brigades of our Eighth Division are already on their way. When they arrive, I will let them land and consolidate your rear. Then you go to Zhenjiang."

Chen Fei asked: "Then where can we find this Japanese army?"

Lin Yuan said: "I will mobilize our intelligence in Jiangsu to collect information on this Japanese army. You can also inquire in nearby villages and towns. Maybe you can find out the whereabouts of this Japanese army. This Japanese army also needs to eat and sleep. It’s impossible to stay in the wild all day, there must be villages and towns connected.”

Fade Chen said, "Okay, I'll let someone do it."

Chen Fei put down the radio and saw that it was getting late, so he thought to himself: "We should camp tonight, where should we camp? The city is a good place, but if we live in the city, the troops will be dispersed, which is not conducive to unified command and response. In case of emergency, it is better to set up camp outside the city, as it happens that Xiong Tiesheng's army has a ready camp outside the west city, we can live there."

So Fade Chen sent a small group of troops into the city, and the others went to the camp in the west of the city to spend the night. A large open space was opened, which basically cut off the possibility of the enemy sneak attacking at night.

Fade Chen was still worried that the camp would be stolen by the Japanese army, so he ordered the amphibious vehicles to stop by the side of the camp when they set up camp, and they could get on the vehicle whenever there was a situation. By around nine o'clock in the evening, the sky was completely dark, and the night sky There was a breeze, which brought a burst of coolness. Suddenly, Fade Chen heard an explosion in the open space outside, and then there was a hasty gunshot from the sentry from the direction of the camp gate.

Fade Chen hurriedly asked loudly: "Why is there an explosion?"

A staff officer came over and said, "There was an explosion in the open space outside the camp. It looked like enemy shells!" At this moment, only the sound of explosions came one after another. There were more than 30 times, Fade Chen immediately said: "Why did the enemy fire so many shells into the open space?"

The staff officer shook his head and did not speak. Fade Chen pointed to the direction of the explosion sound with his hand and said, "Let's go and have a look." Then Fade Chen took the staff officer and ran to the explosion site. At this time, the sound of explosions became more and more loud , It seems that there is something that the Japanese army must blow up in the open space outside the camp.

The closer Fade Chen got to the explosive dessert, the more puzzled he became, and he couldn't help but quicken his steps. As soon as he stepped fast, the wind blew on his face. The coolness brought by the wind made Fade Chen stop all of a sudden, and the staff behind him almost hit him. body, couldn't help asking: "Mr. Chen, why did you stop suddenly!"

Fade Chen said thoughtfully: "Wind, there is wind. Could it be that the enemy fired shells into the open ground to..."

The staff officer asked nervously, "What's going on?"

Fade Chen said: "Chemical weapons, the Japanese army probably used chemical weapons. The wind is moderate tonight, just enough to blow chemical poisons to us!"
