Chapter 126: Fighting Back to China

Charlotte looked up at him. "It's a painful feeling, isn't it? I think they felt the same way at the beginning."

Charlotte's face darkened. "I'll say this for the last time. I know nothing about these things. I'm tired and need to rest. Please."

The investigators were asked to leave by Charlotte, but they also met with bad results when they came to Elizabeth.

Elizabeth looked innocent, "I am a victim, they robbed my ship."

The detective couldn't help but sneer, "You mean they not only robbed your ship, but also kidnapped your company's captain and crew?"

Elizabeth spread her hands, "Yes, misfortunes never come alone, there is nothing I can do.

If you catch them, please help me rescue the captain and crew, otherwise I won’t be able to explain to their families.”

"Yes, the Minister of War has already requested to go to war. We will bring them back even if we have to chase them to Asia."

The angry detective put on his hat and left Elizabeth's house. As soon as he went out, he heard bad news, "Inspector, the latest news is that the Minister of War's application to conquer China was rejected by Parliament."

"What?" The detective was stunned. "How could it be?"

"They said that we were already at war on the front line and shouldn't send troops to Asia. And..."

The subordinate hesitated, "And it's strange, the female members of the parliament all voted against it as if they had discussed it beforehand.

They have half the seats, and the Secretary of State for War has no power to influence the outcome."

"Alas!" The detective sighed, "Are we just going to watch them flee back to China?"

In fact, it was not escaping back to China, but to be precise, it was fighting back to China.

On the third day after their departure, they encountered a group of pirates.

At this time, the National Salvation Corps had just been officially renamed the National Salvation Army. A red flag was raised on the ship, and military uniforms, guns and bullets were distributed.

All of them were transformed into regular troops and forced to change their tone. Otherwise, it would be inappropriate to keep calling them the boss. If you didn't know them, you would think they were bandits.

Luo Jiu carried out a preliminary reorganization of the entire army. The 63,000-strong National Salvation Army was temporarily organized into an army, with Luo Jiu as commander-in-chief, Feng Qi as army commander, Cheng Yaoyao as chief of staff, and Zhong Jialing as political commissar and director of the quartermaster department.

Anyway, we all do the work together, but in order to look like a regular army, we have to have different titles.

More than 60,000 people were organized into six divisions. Six leaders with relatively high prestige in the labor camp were selected and appointed as division commanders. Twenty or so literate people were also found and urgently trained as political commissars and deputy political commissars, and various military disciplines were issued.

Next, we set up brigades, regiments, battalions, companies, platoons and squads. Although it was almost like forcing the issue, we still got it done.

The members of the Thorn Special Forces will not be disbanded for the time being, so that they can be used for special purposes.

Starting from the day of departure, Luo Jiu used a loud speaker to give political lessons and raise awareness of values ​​to everyone on the ship every day.

I spend at least two or three hours every day explaining the situation to everyone and making clear the pros and cons, for fear that these people have never been on a battlefield and will fail at critical moments.

Fortunately, Fan Shun has built a very good mass base in recent years. Every time he distributes military salaries, he always says: This is the hard-earned money earned by the bosses outside. They give us money and say they will take us home. We must repay the bosses for their great kindness.

These people have had enough of the humiliation caused by the foreigners in the labor camps over the past seven or eight years, and they all want to do something big without any need for provocation.

Just when the entire army was excited and screaming, this group of blind pirates approached.

They had no idea that this was a new army. When they saw three huge ships from afar, they thought they were luxury cruise ships operated by a shipping company, and there might be many wealthy people on them.

The pirates came over excitedly, and the sentry reported it immediately.

Feng Qi had just finished teaching shooting and was worried about not having a live target.

She quickly asked everyone to stand on both sides of the boat and practice shooting.

When the pirate looked up and saw two rows of densely packed gun muzzles, his head buzzed and he was shot to pieces before he could retreat.

At that time, many soldiers wanted to go down and pick up their guns and boats. Luo Jiu saw that the guns were not as good as the ones in their hands, and the boats were smoking. What was there to pick up?

Luo Jiu said to Feng Qi: "These rag pickers live a delicate life. Arrange them to clean up the battlefield in the future to make sure they don't waste anything."

Feng Qi immediately asked Fan Shun to coordinate and assign each person to a more suitable position based on the individual's situation.

"Boss..." Fan Shun slapped his lips, "Commander, Commander, there is something I want to report to you.

Someone asked me today, if we start a fight and someone dies, what will happen? "

Feng Qi looked at Luo Jiu, and Luo Jiu said, "I will tell everyone before the war starts."

They know that these people are all miserable people who leave their homes and travel across oceans in order to have food to eat and to support their families.

They have not received any patriotic education, and some are even illiterate. They cannot expect everyone to sacrifice their lives for their beliefs.

As the saying goes, money makes the world go round. Fortunately, they have plenty of money.

After a month of sailing on the sea, the ship was finally about to reach its homeland.

The captain told them that if they went at full speed, it would only take ten hours to reach Red Island.

So Luo Jiu ordered the three large ships to move forward slowly and sent out two teams of the Thorn Special Forces to spy on the enemy situation first.

Zhu Jiumei and others took a modern speedboat, went ashore at night, and went to the city to inquire about intelligence.

A few hours later, the team came back to report that the Japanese army had snatched Hongdao from Dejun two months ago. Now there were as many as 50,000 Japanese troops stationed on Hongdao, equipped with hundreds of heavy siege artillery, mountain artillery, field artillery, more than ten reconnaissance planes, and twelve warships anchored in the port.

Luo Jiu said: "Great, they are really rich, it's time to beat the landlords again."

Immediately call all cadres at the division level and above to hold a meeting in the temporary operations room.

Luo Jiu drew a simple topographic map on the whiteboard, "We will take a day off today. The kitchen team will start cooking at 3 a.m., and we will launch the first wave of attack at 4:30 a.m.

I led the Thorn Team ashore first and took away the enemy's heavy weapons and warships. All artillery was turned around and bombarded the enemy's positions fiercely.

When Commander Feng heard the gunfire, he immediately led a large force to land quickly from these three points under the cover of artillery fire, and in one fell swoop, annihilated the enemy on Hongdao. "

Feng Qi: "I will lead the Thorn Team first, and you lead the main force to land."

Everyone knows that the other side has 50,000 people and it is impossible to eliminate them all at once. The first person to rush forward is the most dangerous and most likely to become cannon fodder.

On the battlefield, those who take the lead in charging are called the suicide squad. They risk their lives and are rewarded before going into battle.

As the captain of the Thorn Team, Zhu Jiumei said, "The two leaders should stop arguing. Please ask the commander and the army commander to stay on the boat. I will lead the whole team to fire the first shot.

I promise to both masters that I will fulfill my mission."
