Chapter 174 The Japanese Army Attacks the Island
Chapter 174 The Japanese Army Attacks the Island
The feast lasted for two days and one night before the girls dragged their tired bodies back to Linhai City.
For some, this is not only a chance to relax, but also a great opportunity to make money.
Whether it's a profit or a loss depends on how you interpret it.
After all, for a woman with no ties to tie, the only thing that can give her a sense of security is a lot of hard-earned money.
Zhu Liuxiang and Chen Qingxuan were exhausted from the past two days and fell asleep in the villa. It was noon and they still hadn't gotten up.
Chu Chen expressed his deep understanding of this.
I carry instant noodles with me every time I go out, so how can I understand the pain of those who have to look for fast food restaurants every time they go out?
After spending a few days relaxing on the island, I was woken up early one morning by urgent shouts on the walkie-talkie.
"My lord, enemy ships are attacking."
Chu Chen got up, shook his head, and said "Wait a moment" to Lü Rongdong on the walkie-talkie.
He then got up, washed up, and leisurely strolled to the top of the city wall.
He picked up the binoculars that Lü Rongdong handed him and saw, wow, a dense array of large ships heading towards the island.
"Heh, it seems the Japanese are well-prepared. They've brought up their diving team?"
Chu Chen gave an order to Lü Rongdong, who then picked up the walkie-talkie and began issuing commands.
"Everyone, be prepared for battle."
To be honest, Chu Chen had been waiting for this day for a long time.
I was afraid you wouldn't come. But since you're here, I'll give you a good beating, and you probably won't dare to come back for decades to come.
On the large ship, a tall man addressed the crowd below: "Young Master Liu, how much longer until we reach the island you mentioned?"
"Reporting to Mr. Tanaka and Mrs. Inoue, they should arrive in less than an hour."
"Alright, give the order: all personnel prepare for battle, take the island in one fell swoop, and attack Great Xia."
The man in the lead was a general from Japan named Tanaka Dazhuang.
The woman next to him was his wife, named Inoue Tadashi.
The two were assigned by the Japanese emperor to lead a large army to capture Linhai City of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Then, they conspired with the Liu family, who sent their private troops south while the Japanese went north, directly attacking Zhou Shixun's capital city.
The Japanese emperor was already aware of the message that the Liu family had sent back some time ago.
However, the Japanese did not take the Xia navy seriously at all.
Despite all the attacks over the years, no matter how much the Great Xia navy struggled, it could not withstand the attacks of the Japanese navy.
Once the Japanese navy lands, the garrison of Linhai City will be easily defeated.
When the time comes, occupying Linhai City and taking over Great Xia will be just a matter of time.
Therefore, Tanaka Piling is full of confidence for this expedition.
"Madam, it is said that the Great Xia is rich in resources. You can choose whatever you like then."
Tanaka, who was driving piles, turned to Inoue and said.
"Tanaka-kun, I'm so happy to be your wife!"
"Haha, in less than three days, Madam will be moving into the residence of the Lord of Linhai City. At that time, you can enjoy all the servants as you please."
After saying that, he directed the large ship toward the island.
Meanwhile, Chu Chen and the others, holding binoculars, watched the large ship swaying as it approached and began to make preparations.
Of the 100 sergeants in the diving unit, 80 had already changed into diving suits and propulsion devices.
The objective remains the same as before: to dive and salvage the ship.
The archers on the city wall, in pairs, were ready for battle, each carrying a crossbow and arrows wrapped in cotton and stuck in gasoline drums.
At the entrance, a large group of soldiers, carrying steel swords, sat on small boats equipped with propellers, awaiting further orders.
Chu Chen wasn't idle either. He secretly called Chu Yi over and took out a grenade launcher and a box of shells.
He was instructed to hide quietly in a firing position built on the city wall.
He had already been taught how to use this howitzer.
That's what we've been waiting for this day to come.
Immediately afterwards, Chu Chen drove an armored vehicle directly to the platform on the original city wall.
They opened the stern door, directly facing the sea where the large Japanese ships were charging towards them.
He also instructed Lü Rongdong that he would command all personnel and that no one was allowed to disturb him.
Those soldiers who witnessed Chu Chen's last battle against the Japanese knew this.
As long as Chu Chen is on this island, the Japanese cannot advance an inch.
As the large ship drew closer, the people on the island grew excited.
Gradually, the large ships became clearly visible to the naked eye, sailing towards the island.
Chu Chen picked up the walkie-talkie: "Brother Lü, once it gets close, send a volley of rockets at it first."
"Once they're in disarray, we'll send our brothers to dive and salvage the boat."
"Leave it to me, young master. You take care of yourself too."
After speaking, Chu Chen put down the walkie-talkie and adjusted the angle of the grenade launcher, aiming it directly at the first large ship approaching.
Through the sniper rifle's binoculars, Chu Chen discovered that the Japanese seemed to have learned their lesson; the first large ship was filled with ordinary soldiers, with no sign of high-ranking officers.
Therefore, Chu Chen put the sniper rifle aside and lost interest in the first ship.
So he picked up the walkie-talkie: "Drunkard, wake up, the Japanese are attacking."
"Shut up, we don't need to go out, we don't need your dad."
Well, Chu Chen didn't take the strange temper of this martial arts master seriously.
When it comes to going out to fight, Chen Qingxuan will definitely be by my side.
As for the carefree Taoist, no one knew where he had gone. Faced with this matter of national righteousness, Chu Chen figured he must be somewhere, waiting for his chance.
Considering that Zhou Shixun knew Zhu Liuxiang, and that Zhu Liuxiang happened to arrive in Linhai just as the Japanese were about to come.
It's possible that they were sent by Zhou Shixun.
But all of this is fine as long as it doesn't harm me.
As the first large ship came into firing range, the second, third, and fourth followed.
They entered directly into seven or eight ships, but Lü Rongdong did not issue any attack orders.
Because through the telescope, it can be seen that these are merely the vanguard.
However, Lu Rongdong sent out twenty soldiers wearing diving suits.
Neither side launched an attack first, and the Japanese ships slowly approached the island.
On the large ship, Tanaka, who was driving piles, frowned deeply as he looked at the island surrounded by grayish-white material in the distance.
So he summoned the Liu family members and asked, "Why are all the islands in front of us fortified with walls?"
"Tanaka-kun, you don't know, last time we occupied this island, but we were completely wiped out by a guy from Great Xia named Chu Chen."
Why wasn't this matter discussed with me?
The Liu family cried out in protest: "Mr. Tanaka, I arrived in the Great Japan with great difficulty and reported to the Emperor immediately, but the Emperor did not care."
Suddenly, Tanaka felt like he'd been tricked. Why hadn't they told him?
They even said that the Great Xia was easily defeated and that they could just storm in.
