In early winter, Tokyo Bay is still as warm as spring, and this season is the best season for sea navigation in the northern hemisphere, typhoons, storms, and rain in the sky are hiding, and it may be time for them to rest when they are tired. At this moment, a dense crowd of warships appeared on the sea surface of Tokyo Bay. The sheer size of the battleship group seemed to give a smell of gunsmoke. All berths at the various docks in Tokyo Bay are full, and the transport ships on the sea are full of cargo and seem to be standing still, giving a clumsy appearance.

The 1st Pacific Fleet, the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Aircraft Carrier Fleets all appeared on the sea surface of Tokyo Bay, and the Yokosuka Military Port on the south coast of Tokyo Bay, all kinds of warships, arranged in an orderly manner according to their numbers, and there were many chimneys on the battleships, and a little green smoke came out of the chimneys, filling the sky and forming haze, and the sea breeze blew gently, and the pungent smell of soot seemed to make people feel suffocated. The battleship is quietly moored, and if it is boosted, I am afraid that it will obscure the sky.

On the deck of the 1st Aircraft Carrier Fleet Beijing, carrier-based aircraft are neatly arranged on one side, and their dark green fuselage is wrapped in canvas as if they are dancing with their teeth and claws, and their ugly appearance makes people feel goosebumps all over their bodies. The pilots and ground crews on the deck swam in twos and threes, and through their stretched expressions, the tense atmosphere could not be seen. At this time, Gao Xiang, the captain of the carrier-based aircraft, and Zhan Fei, the deputy captain of the carrier-based aircraft, leaned against the bottom of the chimney and looked at the dock. "Alas! Finally finished the devil training, and finally took a breath," Zhanfei broke the silence.

"You take a breath, but my hands are itching, the fleet is gathered in Tokyo Bay, and it is estimated that it is about to go on an expedition. This morning, the captain went to Tokyo, and eighty percent of them held an operational meeting. Gao Xiang analyzed with some excitement. Brother, my father has a letter. He scolded me, saying that I was humiliating my ancestors by marrying a Japanese girl, and that I would never be allowed to bring my Japanese wife home. Why don't you say my dad opened that? Zhanfei had a depressed look on his face. You stupid hat, tell you not to tell your family that you don't listen. When the time comes, let the grandson stand in front of them, and if you don't recognize it, you have to recognize it, which is called raw rice cooked and cooked rice. ”

"Didn't I make the second elder happy? I think my father reacted so violently, or are you cunning! Zhanfei said depressedly. "I ask you! Did you tell me about my wife's pregnancy? "I wanted to surprise my family, but I didn't mention it in the letter." "It's too late to make amends, write to your dad right away. Let's just say that my wife is pregnant, and you are about to go on the expedition, and my wife has a big belly and no one cares about it. See if your father is in a hurry? "Wow! Good attention, I'll write right away. ”

At this time, a truck came to the dock, and it was full of Japanese women in kimonos. The sun is shining, and the bright clothes of Japanese women are very eye-catching: "These Japanese girls will not be our family members!" Zhan Fei heard and stopped. I couldn't help but look at the pier. After the truck is stopped. The Japanese women in kimonos got out of the car one after another, and the last two were a little clumsy and were helped down. "Isn't that Kako Ono?" "That's right, the other one is Liyuan Edako, how did they get to Tokyo." As the two exclaimed, a communications officer ran over to report it.

"Report to the captain, deputy captain, and Commander Dai of the fleet to call and give you a 3-day vacation to reunite with your wife." The two of them didn't bother to say thank you when they heard it. Immediately got off the boat along the zigzag spiral staircase, and quickly boarded the pier and ran towards their respective wives. The pregnancy dates of Kako Ono and Ezuko Reino are half a month apart. Their abdomen was bulging and they were at least five months pregnant. "Zhizi, the sea is bumpy all the way, my son is fine!" Zhanfei first cares about his son. "Xiaojuan, it's been hard along the way." A sweet smile appeared on Xiao Mak's face when he heard this.

"I know that I care about my son, and my son's mother doesn't say hello." Ono Kako said with disgust. Zhanfei whispered close to his ear: "In bed at night, I greet you well!" Ono Kako turned red when she heard this: "You can't touch me now, otherwise my son will protest!" Gao Xiang and Li Yuan Zhizi looked at the two of them with a smile and teased, and looked at each other as if they had a heart. Suddenly, Liyuan Zhizi frowned, "What's wrong Zhizi, what's uncomfortable?" Gao Xiang was startled when he saw this.

"The little one kicked me!" "Ha Luha, my son is welcoming me!" "Gao Jun, if I am pregnant with a daughter?" "It's not honest in the belly, it must be a son!" Gao Xiang justified himself. Zhanfei's eyes were hot and hurriedly pressed against the belly of the branch and sounded, "Why is there no movement?" "It's right that there's no movement!" Gao Xiang was proud. "What do you mean?" "Think about it, my daughter has always been quiet, she must be a daughter." Zhizi's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he said worriedly: "You Chinese judge men and women like this? ”

"Don't be too careful, I'll tease him to play that!" Gao Xiang was speechless and hurriedly explained. "Don't be complacent yet, maybe what's going on, and we'll see when the time comes." Zhanfei didn't care. The two took their wives to finish their meal at the sailors' club, and then registered their rooms at the sailors' guest house. There is a garden at the dock of the military port, which is a place for the recreation of officers. The two sat on a garden bench, keeping their distance and whispering.

Gao Xiang and Liyuan Zhizi warmed up for a while, and Zhizi sighed, with a trace of sadness on his face. "Do you have something on your mind?" "Gao Jun, we have been married for more than half a year, according to the etiquette of you Chinese, you must visit your in-laws, otherwise it is not filial. After you set out on the expedition, I want to go to the mainland to meet my in-laws and do my filial piety. Gao Xiang was taken aback when he heard this. Zhizi observed the words and said quietly: "Could it be that my in-laws don't accept me?" "No, to tell you the truth, I didn't write to tell my family that I got married."

Xiao Juan heard that his eyes were a little red and he bowed his head and said nothing, Gao Xiang rubbed his hands and didn't know what to do, and suddenly had an idea: "Zhizi, you are very fluent in Chinese, after meeting my father and mother, he said that he knew me in Taiwan, and don't say anything else." "You asked me to dress up as Taiwanese?" "It's expedient, I'll tell them when I get back." If you think about it, you have to do it.

At that time, Ono Kako said bluntly: "Zhan Feijun, when you come back from the battle without knowing the road, I discussed with Zhizi to go to the mainland to meet my in-laws, and according to your Chinese words, do your filial piety." ”

Zhan Feiwen immediately opened his mouth when he heard this, "Is it that I am a Japanese girl, you didn't dare to tell the family?" Don't worry, I have your child in my belly, and the two of us have wedding photos again, you write a letter to the family yourself, and I will show it to them, and my in-laws will not suspect me of impersonation. Zhanfei groaned and suddenly had an idea, and simply let the branch go back without knowing it. There are photos to testify, and a letter is added, and the identity of the branch cannot be mistaken. As the saying goes, if you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, the child in the belly of the branch is the descendant of the Zhan family, at least the father will not drive the branch away, so it is decided. ”

Three days passed quickly, and after the two sent their wives away, they seemed to have a stone in their hearts, at least they didn't have to worry about them. The wait was hard, and there was still no news of the expedition. That night, the dock suddenly became lively, and everyone gathered on the deck to look at the pier. I saw that on the berth on the left, a large transport ship docked, its full of soldiers was disembarking, under the bright light, the steel helmets on the heads of the soldiers were shining, although the font on the armband was not clear, but according to the shape can judge the number of this unit.

"It's a Marine Corps, and it looks like the target is Hawaii, which means it's about to take action," Zhanfei said excitedly in the dark. "It is estimated that the Marine Brigade will definitely act together with the fleet, and the beach-grabbing landing is their forte. When the time comes, we will be able to see a spectacular sight in the sky. Gao Xiang analyzed. At night, the officers and men of the Marine Brigade drove away in groups at the sound of passwords, and calm returned to the docks. Gao Xiang looked at the starry night sky and asked, "Are you sleepy?" ”

"When I saw the Marine Corps, I was so excited, I was still sleepy!" "Since you're not sleepy, let's go have a barbecue and have a drink. The brothers got off the battleship and crossed the dock to the downtown area. Outsiders are not allowed to enter the wharf of the military port, and the vendors who set up stalls here are the families of the Japanese employees on the wharf, and they mainly earn extra money, and the consumer group of sailors is quite objective. The two sat down at a small food stall, and a middle-aged Japanese woman in a kimono asked with a smile on her face: "Two chiefs, we have Harbin beer and Tsingtao beer here." ”

Japanese women are a little rusty in Chinese and have a hard time speaking, but the meaning is clear. "I want Harbin beer!" "I want Tsingtao beer." The two poured beer and were about to start drinking, when the officer on duty on the aircraft carrier came panting and said, "The two commanders have found you!" When the two saw the embarrassed appearance of the officer on duty, they were taken aback, stood up together, and said in unison: "What happened." The officer on duty took a breath and said, "Two commanders, the fleet command has called, ordering you two to quickly go to the Tokyo Joint Command and attend the combat meeting!" ”

The two didn't dare to slack off, Gao Xiang took out a silver dollar and put it on the table, signaling the proprietress not to make change. The beer in the glass on the table was still foaming, and Zhanfei reached out to hold the skewer in his hand, looking at the bubbling glass of wine, with a pity on his face. The two ran to the dock area to get in touch with the dock garrison and borrowed a military jeep and hit the road. The road from Yokosuka Naval Port to Tokyo was in terrible condition, and the jeep was very bumpy.

Gao Xiang personally drove the jeep, guided by the headlights, and focused on the ahead. Zhanfei took out two cigarettes, then took out matches and struck them. Zhan Fei glanced at the watch on his wrist (Air Force pilots wore special watches", and then lit the cigarette in his mouth. Zhan Fei took two puffs, put a cigarette to Gao Xiang's mouth and said, "It's already one o'clock at midnight, and the road conditions are so bad that it will be dawn when you arrive in Tokyo." "The military meeting will be held promptly at 8 o'clock, and I hope we will not be late."

"Senior brother, I actually let you and I attend the military meeting, it seems that something unexpected happened." Zhanfei guessed. "Perhaps, the officer on duty informed that the flight captains and deputy captains of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th aircraft carrier fleets have been notified, and it seems that the military situation is urgent, and the action may be advanced." "The aircraft carrier fleet is fighting for the first time in history, and carrier-based aircraft are related to the success or failure of the expedition to the American continent, so it is an urgent measure for the senior generals to let us attend the military meeting."

"You have a point, hurry up and get some sleep. Replace me in two hours. Zhanfei stopped squeaking, leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes. The two arrived in Tokyo in a jeep and it was already dawn, and after inquiring and learning the exact location of the joint command, they immediately drove there. The streets of Tokyo are filled with singing and dancing, without the slightest hint of pre-war tension. The jeep was parked in front of the joint command department, and the two quickly jumped out of the jeep after holding it steady in accordance with the instructions of the gendarmerie.
