Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Hearing this, Hasegawa Shigeo scolded: "Nonsense, how can there be ghosts in the world?"

The messenger said: "Then my subordinates don't know, division commander, you should go and have a look."

Hasegawa Shigeo took two steps at a time, and followed the messenger to the river. The staff officer who stayed behind was hugging a shivering soldier wrapped in a blanket. The soldier's hair was wet, his lips were purple, and his mouth was wet. He was muttering something indistinctly.

Shigeo Hasegawa said to the staff officer, "Is this the soldier?"

The staff officer nodded and said, "That's right, he was one of the twenty soldiers who crossed the river."

Shigeo Hasegawa pointed to his lips and asked, "Why are the lips purple?"

The staff officer said: "It should be freezing, the water temperature is very low."

Hasegawa Shigeo nodded and said, "Did you find out anything?"

The staff officer shook his head and said: "He is already crazy, and he doesn't know anything if you ask him."

Shigeru Hasegawa was full of doubts, and thought: "The low temperature can freeze people to death, but it won't freeze crazy. Could it be that this soldier was really frightened crazy?" Hasegawa Shigeru squatted down and looked at the soldier. He listened carefully to what he said with trembling lips, and felt that it was similar to Japanese, but he couldn't understand it, so he asked the staff around him: "What did he keep talking about, did you understand it?"

The staff officer shook his head and said, "It seems to be some local dialect, I can't understand it."

Hasegawa Shigeo hurriedly said: "Where is this soldier from, hurry up and find his fellow countryman." Everyone ran away to ask, and a soldier ran over when it was not too late, and Hasegawa Shigeo pointed to the crazy soldier and asked Said: "Are you fellow villagers?"

The soldier nodded and replied: "Reporting to the commander of the division, we are neighbors, and his home is across the street from mine."

Hasegawa Shigeo said: "Well, you should hurry up and listen to what he is talking about."

The soldier answered "yes", then squatted down in front of the crazy soldier, put his ear close to his lips, and after listening for a while, his expression suddenly changed, and he stood up in horror. With a ghostly look on his face, he couldn't help cursing: "A warrior should be fearless. Look at yourself, are you worthy of being a warrior? Come on, what is he talking about?"

The soldier hurriedly bowed and said, "This subordinate knows his mistake! What he was talking about is..." The soldier took a deep breath at this point, as if trying to gather courage to say the following words, and then said: "He The muttering words are: children living in the river."

As soon as the words came out, the crowd gathered together took three steps back. In Japan, everyone knows what a "child living in the river" is, and that is a "kappa". A kind of monster with great supernatural powers and infinite strength, which can drag people and animals in the water to the bottom and drown them. It is similar to the water ghost in Chinese legends.

In the eyes of the Japanese, the kappa is a symbol of ominousness and terror. In Japanese, "the arrival of the kappa" is used to describe a huge disaster, so everyone is very afraid. At this time, a staff officer said cautiously to Shigeo Hasegawa: "Mr. Captain, is there a Kappa in this river?"

Hasegawa Shigeo rounded his arms, slapped the staff officer flying, and shouted: "Baga! How can there be any kappa in the world? They are all things to deceive children! There must be something weird underwater, the reconnaissance team Where's the captain?"

At this moment, an officer stood up and said, "This subordinate is here!"

Hasegawa Shigeo pointed to the big river in front of him, and said loudly: "You personally bring someone into the water to see what's in the water!"

The officer said loudly: "Your subordinate understands!" After he finished speaking, he was about to take off his clothes and dive into the water. Shigeo Hasegawa waved his hand and said, "Wait, let someone tie a long rope around your waist. Just pull you back, you have a light stick, and you light up the light stick when something goes wrong."

The officer agreed to come down, and then he went into the water with the fluorescent stick, and the officer disappeared into the night in a short time. Several soldiers were nervously grabbing the rope, and the staff officer who was shot out by Shigeo Hasegawa just now was holding his red and swollen face. Cheek walked up to Hasegawa Shigeo and asked in a low voice: "Master, didn't those Scout regiments say that they train in the river every day? Why didn't they meet anything?"

Shigeo Hasegawa snorted coldly, and said: "The group of little hairy kids must be talking big and bragging. They also said that they killed more than ten soldiers of Lin Yuan's army? The troops Lin Yuan sent here must be with the guards in Xinxingli. Our troops are generally elite soldiers, how can a group of little kids kill more than a dozen of them?"

The staff officer nodded and said: "That's right, division commander, children like to talk big." Shigeo Hasegawa didn't speak, and then the staff officer continued: "Division commander, is it not enough for so few soldiers to pull the rope? Kappa is stronger than several horses..."

Hasegawa Shigeo raised his hand, and the staff officer hid aside in fright. At this moment, a piece of fluorescence suddenly lit up on the dark water in the middle of the river. Hasegawa Shigeo hurriedly said: "He sent a signal, hurry up!" As soon as the soldiers heard this, they desperately pulled the rope back, and quickly pulled the reconnaissance leader back to the shore.

The reconnaissance captain climbed onto the shore, panting heavily, Hasegawa Shigeo hurriedly asked: "What is in the water?"

The reconnaissance leader wiped the water off his body with the towel handed by the soldier and said: "There are no kappa, there is an undercurrent under the water, the speed is so fast, people will be swept away as soon as they pass, and there seems to be a hole under the river, the water is flowing When it enters the cavity, it sucks people down, and if it weren’t for someone pulling it, it would definitely be sucked down.”

Shigeo Hasegawa frowned and said, "So that's the case, so how should we cross the river?"

At this moment, the staff officer whose face was swollen said, "Why don't you call Shimadzu Yoshio and ask where they crossed the river? Maybe there is no undercurrent where they crossed the river."

Shigeo Hasegawa nodded and said, "Okay, go and find him right away." Yoshio Shimadzu came to Shigeo Hasegawa in a short while, and Shigeo Hasegawa shouted sharply: "You really did swimming training Why? Why don't you know there is an undercurrent in the river?"

Yoshio Shimadzu's expression changed, and he said, "Oh? Is there an undercurrent? No way, why didn't we encounter it during swimming training?"

Shigeo Hasegawa could tell at a glance: This little boy named Yoshio Shimadzu is lying!He immediately shouted: "You little bastards, do you know? Because of your inaccurate information, we lost [-] brave soldiers! Moreover, we wasted a lot of time. Now Lin Yuan's troops are on the way. Behind them, can you stop them?"
