Chapter 17 Leaving the Old Country in a Hurry

Li Guang remembered one thing, he had watched a spy war movie back then, which described a blind man who used his hearing beyond ordinary people to listen to the enemy's radio station. Inadvertently, such a character appeared in Li Guang's team, although Li Guang didn't know how to use such a person, but last night he keenly felt that Ji Keliang, a young man, was a treasure, and if he used it in a place, he would definitely be able to play a great role.

Ji Keliang is a music student, his family is not wealthy, and he usually relies on his own unique skills - piano tuning in Shanghai to pay for living expenses and tuition. Li Guang used his brains very much to keep this talent, and finally he decided to tell Ji Keliang the truth, of course, he also added a little pie tactics.

Ji Keliang was very interested in Li Guang's description of the submarine, and Li Guang fiercely pushed up Ji Keliang's important surname, pointing out that the sonar soldiers on the submarine have extremely high hearing requirements, and Ji Keliang is the only one in this group who can perform this role.

In fact, Li Guang only knows the term sonar soldier now, and he only knows that sonar soldiers listen to opponents' ships or submarines, but he has almost no knowledge of the equipment and work content used in sonar.

But this remark really touched Ji Keliang, and young people are looking forward to making a contribution to the crisis of the country and the nation. And he, a music student, is not physically strong, and it is probably not possible for him to go to war. And now that Li Guang has provided him with such a position, and what he said is so important, Ji Keliang immediately agreed.

Ji Kelian immediately made a suggestion, several other music students have good hearing, and compared with people in other professions, their ears are generally very good when learning music. Li Guangxi, he really doesn't know this law. So he asked Ji Kelian to persuade the others, but he still had to keep it secret, and the argument was still tempted by the special secrecy department of the navy.

Regarding the current battle situation, Li Guang was very worried. It was obvious that the Chinese army's offensive was not going well, and the area north of the Suzhou Creek in Shanghai was all shrouded in gunpowder smoke and fire, and although Li Guang could not see the specific combat situation, it was difficult to advance for a long time at the sound of gunfire.

Standing outside the battle situation, Li Guang was thinking about the battlefield all the time, and secretly prayed for the warriors on the battlefield in his heart. In the evening, news came that Huang Meixi, a major general of the Chinese army, had been killed.

Just two days after the start of the war, a general was killed, which shows the cruelty of the battlefield. But Li Guang couldn't do anything about all this.

At night, the wind howled. The sound of artillery in the night rain has not stopped.

On the 15th, the sky was not beautiful, and Shanghai was stormy, and Li Guang estimated that it was a typhoon passing through. This typhoon really came at an inopportune time, the Chinese army is now completely on the offensive, and the arrival of the typhoon has forced the Chinese army's offensive to stop.

Zheng Xuechang sighed on the side, and scolded: "God is enough, he actually helps devils." "The Chinese army used the air force to easily drive the warships out of the Huangpu River, but the typhoon helped the little devils again.

A whole day of violent storms and rain extinguished the flames of war and gunpowder in Shanghai. On the sixteenth day, Alfred came back with news and shouted, "Ignite the fire, light the fire and start the ship." ”

It turned out that there was another miracle on the battlefield, and China and the two countries actually agreed to the request of the British and American ministers to allow foreign merchant ships to sail out of the Huangpu River. Li Guang was inexplicably sad and indignant, isn't this a helper? You must know that the warships and large armies of the Yue army are definitely going to Shanghai for reinforcements, and a one-minute truce will be detrimental to the Chinese army for one minute.

The helplessness of a weak country is fully revealed, do the generals of the Chinese army really not know how to fight? Absolutely not, now the Chinese army cannot afford to offend Europe and the United States and other countries. The mood of the Chinese army at this moment can be imagined. This short pause on the battlefield was undoubtedly filled with the lives of the Chinese soldiers.

The Ariana was too nervous to anchor, and a few red-headed Ah San did not allow the people on the ship to go ashore, so the beautiful woman Yuan Ran, who was not in the plan, was also left on the ship. Naturally, more than a dozen wounded Chinese soldiers could not leave.

And the stay of another beauty, Su Zizi, is what Li Guang wants to wear.

By noon, the Ariane and dozens of British and American freighters had sailed out of the Huangpu River. In Wusongkou, there are thirty or forty warships. Li Guang pointed to the warships and said, "Everyone remembers, these warships will be our opponents. Brothers work hard, work hard, and one day we will come back and send these warships to the bottom of the sea one by one. ”

As soon as the fleet sailed out of the Huangpu River, the cannon on the shore began to roar again, and the warships of the Chinese army at sea also began to sail into the Huangpu River. Li Guang gritted his teeth with hatred, but the steel monster in front of him could be sunk without anger.

Just after the typhoon, the sea is blue, but the scenery is not appreciated. Looking at the coastline that was gradually moving away, many students began to cry bitterly.

"We'll kill you back."

"Kill back."

Under the leadership of Zheng Xuechang, the students began to call signs. Several wounded soldiers knelt on the deck and cried loudly, regardless of the pain, they wanted to stay away from the battlefield, away from the brothers who shared life and death, and away from their relatives.

The wounded soldiers kowtowed a few times on the deck towards the mainland, and the students also kowtowed to their hometowns one by one. This time they went to the country to sail away, not to escape, but to take up arms again and fight to the death with the devil.

Thirty-three men stood solemnly on the deck, and Li Guang began his first speech as a soldier.

Brothers, sisters. As you can see, the Kou have occupied North China, and now Shanghai is full of gunsmoke. Now I will give you a question, how can we defeat Yueben in China?

This is a battle between countries and nations for living space. Now it is the Republic of China, and there is no emperor anymore. This war is no longer a change of dynasty, no longer a world of destroying one family and one surname. Don't expect to be assimilated by the Chinese nation like the Mongol Yuan and Manchu Qing in history. It is said that once the present is victorious, then China will sink forever, and it will be difficult to preserve even the language and culture. Look at the Northeast, you know. The schools there are already Chinese language teaching, and they say that they have wolf ambitions, starting from children to cut off Chinese civilization, and after a few decades, the death of the Chinese language is very likely to become a fact. There is no language, let alone culture.

This victory will reinvigorate our country in the Han and Tang dynasties, and defeat will destroy the family and the country, and all generations will become slaves of the Japanese invaders, and there will be no China in the world. Now the fate of China, the rise and fall of China, and the future of the people are all in your hands.

From now on, I ask you to demand yourselves like soldiers. From this day on, you are already a great and glorious warrior. I send you a message: "Sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less in wartime." ”

No matter how brutal the training, there is no battlefield cruelty. The land is gone, the people are groaning under the iron hooves of the Kou, there is no more time, from this day on, from now on, you will immediately go into training.

From that day on, all 33 people, including Li Guang, devoted themselves to military training. Later, with the recovery of the wounded, and the people brought by Huang Zhonghua, as well as those brought by two other seamen, and when the ship arrived in Uruguay, the total number of people participating in the training reached sixty-five. (Five more wounded.) )

Huang Zhonghua lived up to Li Guang's expectations this time, and actually dug up three students from Mawei Hai School. Mawei Hai School is a miracle of the Chinese Naval Academy, and the education in this school is extremely rigorous. The length of education has reached an astonishing eight years, and the number of students in each class has grown from more than 100 to only a dozen at the end of the year, which shows the high quality of education.

Fujian can become the largest faction in the Chinese Navy, and it has a great relationship with the Mawei Naval Academy. Although the three students recruited by Huang Zhonghua are not official graduates, they have been studying at Maweihai School for five or six years.

There are many reasons why students at Maweihai School cannot graduate, and these three have one thing in common, that is, their family is not well-off, and it is difficult to support them to continue their studies. After two or three years of school, Maweihai School can go to the ship to find a job to support their families, and many students drop out of school early because of their family background. This is also the case with these three students. Now at the juncture of the country's ruin, these three students threw themselves into the tide of resistance without hesitation.

During the more than a month of his return trip, Alfred greatly admired Li Guang and these seventy people. These people, whether they are calm or stormy, have not forgotten to train. Even on the final voyage, these men had completely taken over the work of his seafarers. These people were eager to learn almost everything they could about navigation.

The crazy training of these seventy Chinese won the admiration of a group of foreign sailors. And the performance of the two beauties in the middle is no worse than that of the men, and the two young ladies take on the heavy work of caring for the wounded.

"When the country is ruined, our lives belong to the country, and I have no qualifications to waste it." This is Li Guang's explanation.

In fact, Li Guang did not have the slightest experience in the army, and his concept of the army came from the materials of later generations. There is no way for a soulless army to persist in fighting in a difficult environment. Li Guang was convinced of this. First of all, Li Guang carried out patriotic education among 70 people, and the method he adopted was very simple: there were 40 educated people in his ranks. And these 40 people have special lectures on the deeds of national heroes and explanations of Chinese history every evening.

Second, Li Guang began to explain the current world situation to these fighters, so that most of these people who had never left their homeland knew about the outside world. Li Guang does not know right or wrong, but he believes that only by broadening his horizons can he have ambitious tactics and a more long-term vision. Li Guang did not want his army to be an army that only knew how to kill, he wanted to train this army into a military group with lofty ideals.

In fact, the establishment of the prototype of the army was not as difficult as Li Guang imagined, and among this group of people were Zheng Xuechang, a naval officer, and Su Qing, an army German ordnance division officer. If there were no two people, I am afraid that Li Guang would be at a loss in the face of this mixed group, and even didn't know how to start.

During the long voyage, this group of recruits quickly became familiar with the structure of the freighter, Li Guang assigned a little to the students of various majors, and he was surprised to find that in addition to the position of captain, only Zheng Xuechang could barely hold it, and even the first and second mate sailors were all manned, as for carpentry, paint and cooks.

At present, apart from the limited number of people who can be proficient in the magnetic compass and nautical charts of the ship's devices, other work on the freighter is completely unproblematic.

Alfreight's freighter was new, but it was terribly simple. A three-cylinder reciprocating steam engine with 1,200 horsepower, two oil-fired boilers, and a single-shaft drive propeller. There was no other means of communication on board other than a fifty-watt radio.

To put it bluntly, Alfred's steamship is the lowest cost dry bulk carrier, in Li Guang's eyes, this thing is not high-tech, and Li Guang's current team has a lot of mechanical and electrical students, as for the boiler, it is more experience and does not require much knowledge. As a result, the level of these young people in mastering the command of a freighter is rising rapidly.

Several students of the mathematics department began to train on the calculation of shooting parameters day and night. Every time they saw a fixed island, reef, or sea vessel, or even a small boat, they immediately began to calculate as if they were in actual combat. There is no sonar ranging, no optical ranging, but these people can solve this problem with two telescopes by using very limited conditions. It has even summarized a set of quick problem solving schemes, which are developing towards drawing operations.
