Chapter 647 The War Finally Began
The arsenal was more than five miles away from the urban area. Da Hulu ran all the way carrying the cooked meat. After entering the urban area, he began to ask for directions and finally got home in time for dinner.
"Dad, I'm back."
"Brother, are you a deserter?"
Little Gourd's words ruined Big Gourd's mood. If he hadn't been holding the rifle on his shoulder with one hand and holding the pork with the other, he would have stretched his muscles.
Hulu's father was also a little worried, because soldiers cannot go home without permission.
"Boss, have you told the superior?"
"Dad, don't worry! The company commander specially approved it and gave me some cooked meat to bring back and eat together. But I must go back after dark, and I may not be back for a short time."
Canned rice and fried sausages are already a luxury, but since the boss has come back, pork must also be arranged.
"Her mother, stir-fry another plate of pork and add some of the red peppers you brought."
Mother Hulu stood at the door and looked at her son with pride. She took the cooked pork and started to work, calling on Little Hulu to continue to make a fire.
The food was on the table, but Shen Kaishan felt that something was missing. Oh, it would be nice to have some wine, but he had money now and didn't know where to buy it. No, he couldn't waste money like this. He had just had a full meal a few days ago!
The happy life of the Shen family began like this. Big Gourd served in the army, Little Gourd went to school and helped Chen Guoqing with chores, Little Yaya went to school and helped her grandparents grow vegetables, Gourd Dad had passed the carpentry test and joined the furniture-making army, and Gourd Mom was planting rice in the fields under the guidance of the residents she was helping.
On August 1941, 8, when Chen Feng was doing nothing, the Japanese navy launched a surprise attack on the United States, bombing warships and military targets in important military ports in the Pacific. More than 11 Japanese aircraft launched two waves of attacks on the naval bases of the United States, dropping armor-piercing bombs and firing torpedoes at the battleships, cruisers and two aircraft carriers of the United States.
The Americans were caught off guard, waking up to the roar of the explosion and scrambling to defend themselves. The preemptive attack was over in 90 minutes, during which time the Japanese had sunk two aircraft carriers, four battleships and two destroyers, destroyed 188 aircraft and damaged many more buildings, ships and aircraft.
About 2400 Americans were killed in the attack; another 1250 were injured, which was a huge shock to the Americans.
After the attack, Japan officially declared war on the United States, and the next day, President Trump delivered his famous "national humiliation" speech, and he subsequently signed a formal declaration of war on the Japanese Empire.
All the Chinese people who got the news were excited. It has to be said that at this time they hoped to have an ally like Eagle Sauce. Shen Honglie had already sent a telegram and would fly to Mengshan immediately to discuss major plans with his brothers.
Chen Feng was shaking his red wine glass, holding a cigar in his mouth, and sitting on the top of the mountain in the sunset, savoring the important news. It was less than four months earlier than in history, so he should have contributed to it. In addition, the Eagle Sauce destroyed two more aircraft carriers, which might not be a good thing, but it might not be a bad thing either.
Nanyang is about to face a violent storm. Whether it can stand tall in the storm and soar into the sky, or be annihilated by the storm, depends on the previous preparations. Anyway, there is no way out.
Shen Honglie arrived, climbing to the top of Mount Meng with sparks and lightning all the way, and was already out of breath.
"Brother, prepare the wine and food!"
"Let's go back to the cave."
"I just climbed up."
"Then sit down for a while?"
"Let me take a breath, brother, the prediction has come true, we have to celebrate tonight."
"Who is the pilot who brought you here?"
"It's still that guy Howard, what's wrong?"
"Nothing said"?
Shen Honglie finally calmed down his breathing, picked up Chen Feng's cigar and lit one.
"He kept cursing all the way and said he wanted to apply to fight the Japanese to the death."
"Let's go! Let's drink. We won't go home until we are drunk."
In the conference room cave, the food and wine were served. Knowing that the two must have something to talk about, no one came to join in the fun. Lu Feihu ordered the area around the cave to be guarded.
"What should we do? The number of telegrams today is going crazy. They are also getting restless. People familiar and not familiar with them are asking me."
"Step by step, I plan to act within a week, first capture the city of Jinan, and then launch an offensive against the Japanese troops in the middle section of the Jinpu Line and the Japanese troops on the eastern Longhai Line."
"The ship is ready and you can board at any time."
"There's no rush. We have to at least wait until the Japanese warships move away."
The two of them drank some wine and discussed countermeasures, feeling extremely relaxed.
"Report"!
"Come in"!
Judging from Li Yunyan's voice, something big must have happened.
"Captain, Peter Joe called and said the US government is preparing to increase aid to China and asked if we have any weapons and equipment needs."
"Call back, no need for now, I will contact him if necessary."
After Li Yunyan left, Shen Honglie couldn't help but feel curious.
"Why not take the aid?"
"It's not that easy to get. Let's talk about it later! Once they receive the aid, many people will not be able to sleep."
Shen Honglie understood. Now only Shandong Province has access to the sea. When the large amount of supplies and arms are unloaded, it will definitely become the target of public criticism. You will be asked to give them or not. If you don't give them, it will be unreasonable. If you give them, you will be asking for trouble. A large number of troops will be deployed for an escort mission alone. This is not as simple as a few boxes of penicillin.
Chen Feng has his own ideas. The main battlefield in the future will be in Southeast Asia. While trying to consume the Japanese troops as much as possible here, when the British country can no longer hold on, he can seek help from his elder brother there.
"Report"!
"Come in"!
Song Zihan came in, also holding a telegram. When the captain gestured for him to read it, Song Zihan smiled inexplicably.
"Dear Leng, I will serialize your heroic deeds in mainstream newspapers to arouse the people's attention to you. As long as there is a call from the people, you can make as many requests as possible. I will always pay attention to you, Joe Nina."
The telegram was very simple and somewhat ambiguous. Shen Honglie sipped his wine and smiled with two rows of white teeth showing. Chen Feng could only smile bitterly helplessly and waved at Song Zihan who was smiling ambiguously.
"Brother, I have to express my admiration. Look, they have paved the way for you, shouldn't I express my admiration?"
"As I said, don't be anxious. The Japanese naval strength should not be underestimated. Even if we agree now, they may not be able to transport it here. The situation will continue to ferment. Just wait! Maybe one day, they will come to our door on their own initiative. Brother Shen, do you know what they fear most?"
"What are you afraid of, little Japanese? You shouldn't do this!"
"They are afraid of losing their own soldiers, so when they can use money to fight, they will try their best to avoid the army from fighting hard. This is the biggest difference between them and us, and also our greatest sorrow. Just wait! They are more anxious than us. The war cannot be ended in a short period of time. We must proceed steadily and step by step."
