"I said, little brother, don't you shoot these duds, right?"

Seeing that the Yuben transport ship that was hit seemed to be safe and sound, the gun commander turned his head in some surprise and asked Liu Xing.

"It's not a dud." Liu Xing stared closely at the transport ship and replied, "The contents inside will not explode, but they are much more powerful than explosives." ”

At this time, another rocket hit a cruiser that was acting as fire cover in the distance, and it did not explode either, but a faint white smoke rose.

Liu Xing's answer puzzled the gun commander and many gunners, but they didn't ask much. After several quick rounds of salvo fire, Liu Xing ordered the position to be shifted, and the gunners dragged a rocket launcher out of the position and moved to the next spare gun position.

It was only after the heavy blow that the Japanese army came back to their senses, and the Japanese ships acting as cover immediately began shelling, probably discovering that the landing force was in danger of being completely annihilated, the Japanese ships sailed to the shore one after another and began to shoot at close range.

And just as the ship tried to suppress the Chinese rocket artillery with naval gun fire, with a piercing roar, the hidden Chinese heavy artillery group opened fire.

A light cruiser was immediately hit by concealed Chinese heavy artillery, and the cruiser, which had been hit by several large-caliber shells one after another, was immediately surrounded by flames and smoke.

Muto Shaosa, who had managed to escape back to the transport ship, sat on the deck and gasped, looking at the corpses and wreckage floating on the shore and sea in the distance, and he was still subconsciously unwilling to believe that all this was true.

The moment he was in the midst of a sea of fire was a nightmare he would never recall.

At this time, the cruisers and destroyers that served as escorts were still firing their guns on the shore, but now they were all far away, and they no longer dared to shoot at close range with such brazenness as they did when they first came to China.

After realizing that the landing operation was no longer successful, the commander of the army decisively gave the order to retreat, and finally avoided the bad luck of being wiped out on the beachhead by the entire squadron.

Muto Shaosa staggered on the deck of the transport ship, at this time, the deck was full of wounded, Muto Shaosa looked at the melancholy and tired soldiers, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly in his heart.

Now, when he recalls the beginning of the war, he said that the propaganda in his country about the vulnerability of the Chinese [***] team is full of bitterness.

In the eyes of many young officers like him, the powerful army of Yuben could easily defeat the huge and weak China, and the outbreak of World War I gave Yumoto an unprecedented "God-blessed opportunity", but what they never expected was that the army of Yuben would run into bloodshed in China.

Although there are many exaggerations and insults, Muto Shaosa and many of his colleagues have objectively examined the Chinese [***] team from the perspective of a soldier and come to the conclusion that "the middle [***] team is not fearful." But now, what happened to them shows that they were all wrong.

The [***] team, which has always been a big joke in my eyes, how could it suddenly become so tough and good at fighting?

Muto Shaosa's head ached a little when he thought about it, and he retracted his thoughts, and saw a medical staff bandaging the wound of a wounded soldier, so he walked over to help.

At this time, Muto Shaozo suddenly found that on the deck not far away, there were a lot of broken porcelain pieces with white flowers.

Several sailors swept the pieces of porcelain into the sea, and collected the brass pieces that were mixed in with them.

"Where did the porcelain pieces come from?" Muto Shaosa couldn't help but ask.

"The people of China came here with a cannon." One of the sailors replied, "They have sent a lot of duds, all of them made of porcelain with a brass coat on the outside. As he spoke, he took a piece of porcelain and a twisted piece of brass, and handed it to Muto Shaosa, "These shards have cut quite a few of us. ”

"There's nothing in there?" Muto Shaosa asked as he looked carefully at the smooth and crystal porcelain in his hand.

"Nothing." The sailor replied.

"It's weird." Muto Shaosa turned over and turned but couldn't see any reason, and he returned the porcelain and copper pieces to the sailor, who casually threw the porcelain into the sea.

"Kawama-kun, what's on your neck?" A wounded soldier asked one of his comrades.

"Ouch! What is it? The other man grabbed a handful of them on the neck, "This ...... Where do fleas come from? ”

"It should have been brought from land, China is really a dirty country." Someone said.

"Damn! Here's it too! I was bitten and bleeding! ”

"That's the it shose, right?"

"Look! I've caught one! A nimble soldier caught a flea, "Oh my God! Fleas in China are so big! ”

Muto Shaosa walked over curiously, and couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw a flea about half the size of a matchhead that had been strangled by the soldier.

Muto Shaozo is no stranger to the creature of fleas, but what surprised him was the size of this flea.

He had the impression that the flea was a small insect as fine as dust. And such a big flea, he could say that he had seen it for the first time in his life.

At this time, Muto Shaosa couldn't imagine why such fleas appeared on the ship, and what kind of disaster these fleas would bring to these soldiers on the ship and even to Yumoto.

Qingdao City, German Governor's Palace.

"The landing army has been completely annihilated, and the army has retreated to the sea."

An officer handed the battle report to Yang Shuoming, who quickly read it and handed it to Zhang Xun, who was sitting beside him.

"These dogs have suffered a big loss, see if they dare to provoke us again!" Zhang Xun only glanced at the report and handed it to Zhang Xiaozhun.

"The navy is not patrolling, and it is likely that it will attack again, so we have to find a way to force their fleet away." As soon as Zhang Xiaozhun finished speaking, there were bursts of low cannon sound in the distance.

"They're firing their anger again." Fu Xiaoan's face showed a look of indignation, "They knew that they couldn't beat our forts, so they came to the common people." ”

After listening to Fu Xiao'an's words, Yang Shuoming got up and walked out of the house, came to the balcony, and looked in the direction where the cannon sound came from.

"We have to find a way to sink those big ships of the Japanese Kou," said Zhang Xiaozhun, who came to Yang Shuoming's side, "even if they really can't be sunk, force them away, otherwise the people along the coast will suffer." ”

"I made a mistake in the first place, and I shouldn't have given all the mines and submarines to the Navy." Yang Shuoming sighed, "Even if you go here now, it's too late." ”

"The cannons in our hands are not a problem to fight our smaller warships, but if we deal with those big guys, the power is still not enough." Fu Xiaoan and Zhang Xun also followed, and when they heard Yang Shuoming's words, Fu Xiaoan said, "I have to think of another way." ”

"Is there any way to think about it?" Zhang Xun said with some discouragement, "You can't send someone to swim over and put explosives on the boat, right?" ”

Listening to Zhang Xun's words, Yang Shuoming's heart suddenly flashed like lightning!

"That's not a bad idea." Yang Shuoming looked back at Zhang Xun and nodded, "Although it is more difficult." ”

Hearing Yang Shuoming say this, Zhang Xun's bull's eyes couldn't help but stare at the boss.

After a short time, the shelling of the ship gradually stopped, Yang Shuoming looked at the residential area on fire in the distance, took a deep breath, and said, "Let's go over and have a look." ”

When Yang Shuoming and his entourage came to the residential area destroyed by the ship's artillery fire, the fire that had just ignited here had already been extinguished.

Yang Shuoming, who was standing in the rubble, looked at the houses that had become ruins and the corpses of innocent people who had been burned to black, and his mood was extremely sad for a while.

"The general is coming......" someone said.

Seeing Yang Shuoming and others appear here, many of the people around them stopped what they were doing and slowly gathered over.

Yang Shuoming walked among the ruins, he saw a girl struggling in the brick pile, her face was full of anxiety, the girl's hands had been ground out of blood, and she seemed to be very tired, but she still didn't care about digging there with her hands, unaware of the arrival of Yang Shuoming and others. Yang Shuoming silently came to her side and helped her move the broken bricks aside.

Seeing Yang Shuoming's movements, Zhang Xun, Zhang Xiaozhun and Fu Xiaoan also ran to his side, rolled up their sleeves to help, and saw several generals doing it themselves, and the guards also joined the rescue.

"Over here." Yang Shuoming's "supercomputer eye" gave a hint, he pointed to a small hole, and then forcefully threw a brick aside.

When the guards heard the news, they gathered and moved the bricks, stones, beams and wood out of the way, and opened a big hole there, Zhang Xun saw a small figure, and immediately bowed and jumped down, carefully carrying the people inside.

It was a little girl who had passed out with blood on her pants.

Zhang Xun stretched out his hand to probe the little girl's snort, and his face couldn't help but show a hint of joy, "There is still gas!" ”

When the girl heard Zhang Xun's words, she brushed her messy hair, carefully reached out and took the little girl from Zhang Xun's hand, placed her in a flat place, and began to check her injuries.

"There are adults down there......" Zhang Xun, who was so tired and panting, sat on the ground, pointed to the hole and said to the guards, "You guys...... Work harder to get people out......"

Hearing Zhang Xun's words, the surrounding people gathered one after another to help, and soon, the little girl's mother was carried out.

"Handsome! This doll's mother...... It's no longer possible......" one of the guards said to Zhang Xun.

At this time, the little girl had been rescued by the girl and woke up, and when she heard such bad news, she immediately burst into tears.

The little girl's mournful cry echoed around, and the faces of the people around showed resentment, Zhang Xun looked at the little girl who was only six or seven years old with some pity, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Woko!" Zhang Xun scolded indignantly, turned his head to look at the other generals, but found that Yang Shuoming had run to the other side.

Yang Shuoming hunched over and searched in the rubble, as if indicating the rescue location of the living below, whenever he pointed out a place, soldiers and ordinary people hurried over, digging there, after the rescue work was over, Yang Shuoming and Zhang Xun and others returned to the governor's mansion when it was already dark.

"Brother Hanzhi is really amazing, he can find so many people who are buried alive in the ground." Zhang Xun was still sighing for Yang Shuoming's special performance in the rescue work, "As the saying goes: Saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, your brother Yang today, but I don't know how many levels of floating slaughter have been made!" ”

"Isn't it the same for you Zhang Dashuai today?" Yang Shuoming smiled bitterly and said with a gloomy expression, "It's a pity that although we defeated the Japanese Koukou, we didn't drive them back to their hometown, which caused such a tragedy." ”

"Brother Yang, don't blame yourself too much for this." Zhang Xun Zhengse said, "We can play to this level now, which is already a pretty good result." ”

"But that's not enough." Yang Shuoming shook his head, and a fierce light suddenly flashed in his eyes, "We must drive the Japanese away from the sea!" ”

"What does Hanzhi want to do?" Fu Xiao'an heard that Yang Shuoming seemed to have another idea, and immediately asked.

"There is a way, but it takes a little time and effort...... Yang Shuoming suddenly saw an officer walking in in a hurry, so he stopped talking.

"General, the girl during the day, and the local fishermen's chief ask to see you." The officer Li Zheng saluted Yang Shuoming and the others, and then said to Yang Shuoming.

"They're together?" Yang Shuoming thought for a while and asked.

"It's not." The officer replied, "That girl has come to pay a visit to the general, and said that she has a confidential matter to face the general." The fishermen had come to ask for help in the war, saying that there was a way to sink the ship. ”

"Let them come in separately." Yang Shuoming nodded and said.

The officer turned to leave, and in a few moments came in with the girl he had seen in the ruins during the day.

Yang Shuoming looked at this girl and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

It may be that during the day, his attention was all focused on how to save people, and he didn't pay too much attention to her appearance, but now when the two of them were facing each other, he saw her appearance clearly, and he couldn't help but feel a little electric in his heart.

This is a small but very delicate girl, combed with a long black and shiny braid, especially a pair of bright eyes, when looking at people, it always seems that there is a thin layer of mist, which makes people involuntarily give birth to pity.

Yang Shuoming's eyes tirelessly flashed data about her: "...... Height: 1.60m, weight: 45kg, chest circumference: 82cm, waist circumference: 54cm, hip circumference: 83cm, blood type: type b, age: 16, surname: virgin ......", and after these data, another hint that Yang Shuoming is most concerned about is displayed: "No weapons and dangerous items are carried." ”

"The people's girl Liu Xiangyun has seen the general." The girl saw Yang Shuoming staring at her intently, and gave a salute in a little panic and said softly.

"The people's daughter is here, and she has thanked several generals for their life-seeking grace for Lan'er." Liu Xiangyun continued.

"Save the life and help the wounded, the surname of the person, the girl does not have to be overrated." Yang Shuoming looked at her and quietly led the topic to the thing he was most interested in, "The girl said that there is something important to report, I don't know what it is?" ”

"The people's girl took the liberty to come here to remind the general to pay attention to guarding against spies." Liu Xiangyun lowered her head and said as if she was a little scared.

"A spy? Have you seen it? When Yang Shuoming heard her say this, he immediately asked.

"On the way to Qingdao, the folk girl met a person." Liu Xiangyun said, took out a painting from his arms, and handed it to Yang Shuoming's adjutant, "This person is about thirty years old, speaking a Shandong dialect, when the folk girl met him, he suffered a gunshot wound in the leg, which had suppurated at that time, this person said that he was Lingshan Weiren's clan, and begged the folk girl to help him return to his hometown, and the folk girl saw that his situation was pitiful, and he was on the way, so he agreed, and cured the gunshot wound for him, but when the folk girl sent him all the way to the suburbs of Qingdao, this person suddenly wanted to harm the folk girl with a pistol, but fortunately the folk girl escaped. After arriving in Qingdao, she saw the prisoners of the army talking, and only then did she know that what she said in her dream was a saying, and she was confirmed to be a spy on the road before. ”

Yang Shuoming heard that her words were very organized, and he could judge the identity of the other party from the language, he couldn't help but nod secretly, he took the painting from the adjutant and opened it, and the painting was a portrait of a man depicted with charcoal strips, using a typical Western sketch painting method, the painting was very vivid, showing that the painter's painting skills are quite superb.

"This is the guy you're talking about?" Yang Shuoming asked.

"Yes." Liu Xiangyun said, "This person is likely to have infiltrated Qingdao now, with the intention of disadvantageous to the generals, and asked the generals to be more vigilant for the country and the people." ”

"You painted this picture?" Yang Shuoming asked with some surprise.

"Yes." Liu Xiangyun replied, "The folk girl has studied Western painting. ”

"Understood." Yang Shuoming handed the portrait to the adjutant and ordered, "You go and arrange it immediately and find a way to catch this person." ”

The adjutant agreed, turned to leave, Yang Shuoming stared at Liu Xiangyun, and suddenly asked, "You just said that you healed his leg injury?" ”

"Yes, the folk girl was born in a family of doctors and Taoists, and she is good at this, and seeing that her wound festering may be life-threatening, she has no choice but to use extraordinary methods to heal her wounds," Liu Xiangyun's face showed a hint of anger, "I knew that he was a spy, and the folk girl would not have done this." ”
