"Oh, how do you see that?" Japanese Shaozo looked at Geng Chaozhong with great interest.

"Quite simply, when I first entered the port, I found that none of the ships were sailing outward, which only shows that you are also interested in the railway in North Manchuria and have taken action. However, I have to regret to point out that if you insist on doing so, it will only prompt China and the Soviet Union to negotiate peace more quickly. I'm sure you've heard a Chinese proverb: "When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman wins." And neither China nor the Soviet Union wants to see you, a fisherman, sit back and enjoy it. Peace is only a matter of time. ”

Geng Chaozhong's eyes flashed with wisdom, and his tone was unusually determined.

The Japanese Shaozo looked at Geng Chaozhong with amazement, in fact, the Soviets had indeed begun to slow down their offensive recently.

He already believes in this Chen Bingxian's identity.

"Then we'll see!"

Japanese Shaozo waved his hand, "You can follow these people off the ship, but I need to remind you, now that Lushun is under full martial law, you can't go anywhere, if you want to do business, you might as well talk to our Great Japanese Empire, maybe you will find some common language." ”

Geng Chaozhong smiled slightly, "Then thank you Shaozuo for your help, but aren't we speaking the same language now?" ”

Japanese Shaozo was stunned for a moment, indeed, both of them spoke Chinese.

"Alright! You are an interesting person and hopefully we will meet again. ”

Geng Chaozhong followed Nelson and his party off the boat.

"Captain Geng, oh, no, Mr. Chen, which of your identities is real?"

The expression on Nelson's face was unusually confused.

"Mr. Nelson, it doesn't matter who I am, I just want to ask you, how do you plan to return to the island city?" Geng Chaozhong asked.

"Oh, I'm not in a hurry, I'm going to relax in Lushun. But I can tell you a way, you can try to get to the territory of the Northeast Army from the South Manchurian Railway, and then detour back from the Northeast, but it will take a long time. Nelson smiled ambiguously.

"Okay, then I have to say goodbye to you, and I wish you a nice time in Lushun."

Geng Chaozhong waved goodbye to Nelson.

What he needs now is to treat the wound on his leg as soon as possible.

At this time, Lushun could only be regarded as a small county town compared to Qingdao, and when he left the port, Geng Chaozhong took a rickshaw, found a hotel to live in, and then found a grocery store, bought a few bottles of sake and candles, and began to treat his wounds.

I thought I would be able to go back soon, so I simply bandaged my wound. Unexpectedly, it was delayed for three days, and the wound was not treated in time on the ship, and it was already slightly suppurated.

Geng Chaozhong was dealing with the wound on his leg while thinking about the way back to the island city.

In fact, the route given by Nelson is only a relatively safe route, but there is also a more risky route, which is to hire a medium-sized fishing boat directly from the Port of Arthur and go straight to Yantai.

Such a vast coastline of the Liaodong Peninsula is definitely not something that can be controlled by a Japanese army of tens of thousands of people, but the biggest problem is not the Japanese army, but the shipping route.

In October, the Bohai Bay is windy and turbulent, and most of the routes are along the coastline and nearby islands and reefs, which is also the route controlled by the Japanese, but for the local fishermen, there are some relatively remote routes that are not unnavigable, and the biggest problem is that it is easy to capsize!

But Geng Chaozhong can't care so much anymore, he must return to the island city as soon as possible!

After a simple treatment of the wound, Geng Chaozhong went straight to the south of Port Arthur, as a soldier, Geng Chaozhong has an unusually familiar with the important military ports of all China, and there will be sand table attack and defense and roadshows when he was in the military academy, he knows very well that there is also a port in the south of Port Arthur that is more suitable for going to sea, and this port has not been developed until the establishment of New China.

The longitudinal distance of the entire Lushun from north to south is 26 kilometers, and about 10 kilometers southeast from where Geng Chaozhong is now located, you can reach the southern shore of the Liaodong Peninsula.

Geng Chaozhong calculated the distance, it was now more than one o'clock at noon, and according to his previous life's 20 kilograms of weight and 2 hours and 15 kilometers of marching speed, he could reach the north shore at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. There will be brave men under the reward, and Geng Chaozhong believes that he can find the boat he needs on the north shore.

After a round of forced marching, three hours later, Geng Chaozhong came to a small village called Qianmiaotou on the north shore, where, at a huge price of ten oceans, he hired a boat willing to set off to Yantai, but the premise was that it must be set off at night!

Geng Chaozhong's heart pounded as the waves crashed against the sailing boat, which was no more than ten meters long and less than three meters wide, for the first time he had gone to sea on such an old-fashioned fishing boat, which had no navigation and was driven entirely by experience.

Although the 50-year-old boatman repeatedly assured that he had more than 20 years of sailing experience in fishing and had sailed as far as Lianyungang, Geng Chaozhong was still scared enough by him.

This experience of sailing in the middle of the night in the dark is definitely a great horror. No one who has ever experienced it will never be able to appreciate the feeling of a twelve-hour voyage with almost no sound other than the waves crashing against the side of the boat.

Fortunately, when the fish belly appeared white on the edge of the sky, Geng Chaozhong could finally see the dotted fishing boats appear in the vast ocean, and it seemed that it was not far from Yantai.

Geng Chaozhong finally closed his eyes tiredly......

.............

After another seven hours of train in Yantai, Geng Chaozhong finally rushed back to the island city the next night, but Geng Chaozhong did not dare to be careless, and secretly came to the periphery of the party affairs investigation section office building, until he confirmed that there was nothing abnormal, and then sorted out his clothes and entered the office building.

The guard guarding the door watched an unkempt and tattered guy break directly into the door, shook the muzzle of the gun, and shouted:

"Stop! If I move again, I'll shoot! ”

Geng Chaozhong raised his head with a wry smile, the guards stared at Geng Chaozhong for a long time, then suddenly jumped suddenly, let out an exclamation, turned around and yelled into the door:

"Captain Geng is back! Hurry up and notify the section chief! ”

There were a few exclamations from the communication room at the staircase, some went upstairs to call, and some ran upstairs directly, and after a while, Liu Yiban led a bunch of people to rush down.

Liu Yiban looked at Geng Chaozhong's bloodshot eyes and unkempt face, and couldn't help but be shocked, grabbed Geng Chaozhong, and asked repeatedly:

"Xiao Geng, why do you look like this, we have received a telegram three days ago, Section Chief Cao has arrived safely in Tongjiang, but I have not been able to wait for you to come back, I have sent several people to Liaodong to inquire about the news, but no one knows where you went, we thought you were captured by the Japanese and have died a heroic martyrdom! What the hell is going on?! ”

"Section Chief! That's hard to put into words! The Japanese chased us all the way, and this trip was really dangerous! I almost can't come back to see you! ”

Geng Chaozhong briefly recounted the experience to Liu Yiban, and Liu Yiban, who listened to it, broke out in a cold sweat and shouted loudly:

"Xiao Geng! You've done a great job this time! This morning, I have received a call from Nanjing, there has been a complete ceasefire between the two sides of the Jiangdong Line, and only there are sporadic battles on the Western Front. said that you are not afraid of hardships and dangers, sacrifice your life to escort, and make great contributions! Director Xu made a special call and said that if you have the opportunity, you must meet you in person, a hero of the party and the state! I heard that you haven't come back yet, I've called me several times, and I have been posthumously awarded the Order of Baoding of the Sixth Class! ”
