Chapter II
Han Jialang's words surprised Jennifer, because according to the former's size, strength and pure American English, the female doctor always thought that he was a white American, and did not expect that he would be a Chinese at all.
The female doctor stretched out her hand and shook Mr. Ensign gently, "Jennifer Aniston, an American, used to work as a surgeon at the Mission Hospital in Balikpapan. ”
"Oh!" When Mr. Ensign heard the name of the female doctor, he let out a small exclamation, "Are you from California?" ”
"It's not." The female doctor did not understand why her ordinary name had caused Mr. Ensign to be surprised. "Why do you ask?"
"Oh! Nothing, I used to know a guy who was also Jennifer Aniston, and she was Californian. ”
"Really? What does she do? "In the eyes of female doctors, it is common for two people to have the same name and surname.
"She's a movie star." Han Jialang recalled the image in his memory, the face of an angel, and the figure of a devil, and then began to change the topic. "Ms. Aniston ......"
"Jennifer, or you can call me Janie."
"Okay," Han Jialang knew that this was a way for Americans to get closer, "you can also call me Ronald, which is my English name." ”
"So, Ronald, how's the war going?" Jennifer asked her most important question, then stared straight at Mr. Ensign.
Han Jialang looked around, and the other female prisoners also showed curious looks, thinking: Just talking about the historical events that have happened, it shouldn't be considered a violation of the policy of the headquarters! After a brief organization of language, he began to make a press briefing: "In May 1943, the combined forces of the United States and Britain defeated the German and Italian armies in the North African theater. In July, the United States and Britain landed in Sicily, southern Italy. Mussolini resigned and was arrested. King Emman III of Italy appointed the Chief of the General Staff, Bardolio, to the power to organize the government. He made contact with the Allied forces and negotiated secretly. On September 3, Eisenhower and Bardogio signed an armistice in Sicily, announcing Italy's withdrawal from the war. This was followed by the landing of Allied forces in southern Italy. Germany quickly sent troops to occupy northern Italy and occupied Rome. After being imprisoned at the summit of the Grand Sasso in the Abruzzi Mountains, Mussolini was rescued by German paratroopers and became the prime minister of the puppet government of the "Italian Social Republic" in Salou, northern Italy. Bardogio and the King of Italy moved the government to the south and declared war on Germany on behalf of Italy in October. And in cold Russia, the Germans repeated the mistakes of Napoleon, and the weather was once again the weapon of victory for the Russians. On February 2, 43, the Battle of Stalingrad, which had lasted for six months, finally ended. The Germans lost 1 of the forces on the southern flank of the Eastern Front in the Battle of Stalingrad
4, and Russia also turned to the counteroffensive from this. ”
Mr. Ensign took out the kettle and took a sip of water, then continued to open the water. "Let's turn our attention to the Western Front again. On June 6 last year, the United States and Britain allied forces landed in the Normandy region of France and successively liberated France, Belgium, the Netherlands and other countries. And Soviet Russia also liberated most of the countries of Eastern Europe. According to the latest news, the Soviet Russian Red Army has reached Germany itself, that is, the fall of German fascism is imminent! ”
"What about Asia? What about Japan? Jennifer asked eagerly.
"In October 43, the Chinese garrison in India, with the support of the United States and the British, launched an attack on the Japanese army in northern Burma from Ledo, India, along the predetermined route of the Sino-Indian highway. Until January of this year, the Chinese Expeditionary Force and the Chinese Army in India met with the Mangyou near Wan Town. The campaign lasted one and a half years, annihilated more than 48,000 Japanese troops, and opened up the strategic transportation line of the China-India Highway. "Seeing the anxious look in the female doctor's eyes, Mr. Ensign intends not to hang her appetite anymore." Let's talk about our neighborhood! The Battle of Midway took place in June '42 and ended with a resounding victory for the US Pacific Fleet. This campaign changed the balance of power between Japanese and American aircraft carriers in the Pacific. From then on, Japan began to lose the strategic initiative in the Pacific theater. In July last year, after the US military captured the Mariana Islands, it began to establish an air base on the islands, dispatching B-29 heavy bombers to attack the Japanese mainland. In December, the island of Leyte was occupied. In January of this year, the US Sixth Army landed in Lingayen Bay on the west coast of Luzon. At the same time, in February, U.S. troops landed on Iwo Jima. It will take 6 months......" Shocked and almost leaked, Han Jialang hurriedly changed his words, "At most, in another year, the Japanese fascists will be finished!" ”
The good news made the female prisoners very excited, the dawn of victory has appeared, and the nightmare days will be completely gone. The female prisoners hugged each other in twos and threes, kissed each other, whispered, and the female doctor also held Mr. Ensign's face and kissed him, but this action made her lips turn black. The other two soldiers were treated in the same way, and the repeated attacks of dozens of ladies turned them into big faces, and also made them really feel the enthusiasm of a Western lady.
Suddenly, a fierce burst of gunfire came from a distance. It was the direction of the concentration camp, and the ladies who had been in high spirits just now couldn't help but look nervously into the distance. Han Jialang was sure in his heart that all the members of the special operations team were experienced in a hundred battles, and they could not be caught in dealing with more than 30 old, weak, sick and disabled.
Sure enough, within ten minutes the gunfire stopped, followed by only sporadic gunfire. At the same time, a voice also came from the communicator on Han Jialang's chest.
ended the call in three or two sentences, looking at the anxiously waiting eyes around him, Han Jialang said with a smile: "The operation was very successful, the Japanese army squad was annihilated, all the ladies were rescued, and there were no casualties." As soon as the words fell, there was an immediate burst of cheers.
They didn't wait long, and twenty minutes later, a large force appeared on the road. The freed ladies helped each other and moved slowly forward, the knights who had saved the beauties with weapons on either side of the procession. At the end of the line were eight captives, two of two carrying four stretchers, presumably female prisoners with limited mobility. The two sides converge into one, and there is a sigh for the rest of the life.
Now was not the time to celebrate, and the team continued to retreat towards the intended location. The liberators have told everyone that the means of transport used for evacuation are just a mile away. The desire for freedom made the frail women quicken their pace. Not far away, more than a dozen dirt bags appeared in the wasteland by the roadside, each with a cross tied by tree branches in front of it. Some of the female prisoners walked out of the queue, stopped and stared for a moment, silently crossed their chests, and then turned back to the line in absolute terms.
Half an hour later, the ladies saw two strange ships prepared by the PLA. These strange boats are surrounded by a ring of rubber pads, reminiscent of rubber boats; But the hull is much larger than a dinghy, even larger than most yachts; There are two screws in the tail, but they are exposed to the air.
The ladies were not in the mood to study how the strange ship differed from the ships they knew, and with the help of the men, the ladies divided into groups and began to board the ship, and the sailors in white uniforms on board came to help.
There were no seats in the landing capsule, so everyone had to sit on the deck. I don't know if it was intentional or coincidental, Han Jialang and Jennifer met again. At this time, Mr. Ensign had already washed the oil paint off his face with water, revealing his true face. "Ronald?" The female doctor asked uncertainly.
"Yes." Han Jialang wiped the water stains on his face with a towel.
The female doctor silently observed Mr. Ensign. Clear and sharp eyes, a tall nose, angular lip line and a kind smile. The female doctor had never seen such a handsome Chinese, and in her impression, all yellow people had a flat face. So I was a little stupid.
"Do I have flowers on my face?" Han Jialang asked with a smile.
Jennifer smiled awkwardly and withdrew her gaze. At this moment a naval officer walked into the cabin, looked at the ladies crowded into the cabin, and clapped his hands, successfully attracting everyone's attention. "Ladies, welcome aboard! I am your captain, Second Lieutenant Zhang Anbang of the Nanyang People's Liberation Army Navy. I and all the crew on board will be happy to serve you! Although there were only five of us. ”
The humorous words made the ladies laugh, and now everyone felt a burst of relief.
The second lieutenant walked over and shook hands with Han Jialang, who introduced him to Jennifer. "This is Dr. Jennifer Aniston."
The second lieutenant of the Navy shook the hand of the female doctor and kissed the hand, "Beautiful lady, it is my honor to know you." ”
"I'm also very lucky." Jennifer looked at the ensign in front of her, the same handsome and polite, and the Chinese she knew today had completely overturned her original perception. "Your English is very authentic. Do you have any experience living in the U.S.? ”
"Of course...... No, Dr. Aniston, I learned my English by watching American movies. Zhang Anbang said seriously.
"Hehe, you're so humorous."
"Trust me, I'm telling the truth, I'm a big fan of Hollywood."
Jennifer shook her head, still disbelieving, but she didn't dwell on the issue. "So, Mr. Captain, you can tell me! What kind of ship is your ship? What does it rely on to move forward? ”
"Of course, ma'am. As you can see, this is the most advanced LCAC air-cushion landing craft in our country. The total length of the boat is 26.8 meters, the width is 14.32 meters, the draft is 0.9 meters, and the standard displacement is 87.2 tons. The power plant consists of 4 gas turbines, 2 for propulsion and 2 for lift, with a continuous power of 12,000k, 2 encapsulated variable pitch propeller thrusters, and 4 dual-intake lift fans. It has a maximum speed of 40 knots and a cruising range of 300 nautical miles at a speed of 35 knots. Can carry 4 trucks or 150 soldiers"
"Hovercraft?" There are many professional things that female doctors don't understand, and the metric bills are completely unfamiliar, and she doesn't know how to solve them. "It's a nice boat, it's just a little crowded." The female doctor looked at the crowded cabin a little helplessly.
"Ma'am, you think that because you haven't seen a train during the Chinese New Year!"
"Ahh ……”
The conversation was interrupted at this time, and Zhang Anbang received a notice that the fleet would set off immediately. With a confession, he turned and went to the cockpit. "I never knew that you Chinese were so humorous." The female doctor was a little emotional.
"That's because you've seen too few Chinese."
A loud roar came from the stern, and the two screws spun slowly, faster and faster. The ladies felt the boat move slowly forward, the white clouds in the sky rapidly receding, but the passengers did not feel the jolt. The noise made everyone have no hope of talking, and everyone began to close their eyes and recuperate, and then slowly fell asleep.
※※※※※
I don't know how long it took for Jenny to feel someone tapping her on the shoulder. When she opened Meng Long's eyes, she saw Han Jialang's concerned eyes, which made the female doctor's heart warm. The masculine atmosphere that was close at hand made her feel confused.
"We're here." Mr. Ensign's reminder brought the female doctor to her senses, and when she looked at the slowly opening front door, the landing craft had already driven onto land and was parked in the middle of a camp.
Zhang Anbang took the lead and walked to the hatch, and when the door was fully opened, he made a gesture of please. "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Shangri-La!"
