[69 Book Bar-www.] Liu Haisheng came to the ship’s boss Zhang Caiwang and said kindly:
"Uncle Zhang, the president has said that it is almost getting dark now, so you should inform the fleet to stop and take a rest. When stopping, the fleet should stay closer, and someone should be on duty at night."
"When resting at night, the fleet stays together, and someone has to keep watch at night. We all agreed before departure, and everyone will follow it."
"Okay, then you tell everyone to stop the boat and have a rest, and let the masters get on the boat to have something to eat and have a good sleep!"
"Okay, I'll send the signal right away."
Zhang Caiwang took out his horn and blew it again.
Then, the boat in front stopped, and boat No. 2 also caught up with boat No. 1 and stopped. Then, the boats behind caught up one after another, and the entire fleet stopped together. The parked boats became a scenic line on the river.
.
After all the ships in the fleet were parked, each ship set up a springboard to the shore, allowing the boatmen who were pulling the boats on the shore to get on board, have something to eat on board, and then have a good rest.
After the boatmen of each boat got on board, the Japanese on the boat asked each boat to put up the gangplank and stop each boat in the middle of the river.
After all the ships in the fleet were parked, Liu Haisheng said to President Lin:
"Let's go into the back warehouse and have something to eat so you can rest early."
Lin Chang'an glanced at the fleet again, and walked towards the back warehouse in an unhappy mood. Just as he was about to reach the door of the back warehouse, he waved the little Japanese soldier with his hand.
When the little Japanese soldier saw that President Lin was calling him, he happily came to President Lin and asked in Chinese:
"You called me? What do you want to say?"
President Lin pointed to the fleet in the river:
"Why did you ask the fleet to stop in the middle of the river? Why wouldn't it be more convenient to just lean on the riverside?"
"It's not convenient for people to stop in the middle of the river."
"What are you talking about? Parking in the middle of the river is not convenient for people?" Lin Changan asked with some confusion.
"I heard from Lieutenant Narita that the fleet stopped in the center of the river when resting to prevent resistance elements from attacking and disturbing the gun boats. The boat was in the middle of the river, and even if the resistance elements came, they would not be able to get close to the boat for a while. This is also the time before departure.
The director of the agency has repeatedly told us. So every time our transport fleet takes a break this time, it must stop in the middle of the river."
President Lin looked very happy after hearing this and said:
"That's good. The imperial army is very thoughtful. The fleet is parked in the middle of the river. Even if the resistance elements come, they can't get close. Well, this is how our fleet will be when we come out in the future."
After President Lin finished speaking, he took Liu Haisheng into the back of the ship.
After he walked into the back warehouse, he stood there thinking for a while and then said:
"Don't mention it, this little devil's method is really a bit poisonous. If anything happens, it will be difficult for our boatmen to leave the ship. And they can also control the fleet better. Even the anti-Japanese team will come to intercept the ship.
, they can’t rush to the boat all at once. Stopping the boat in the center of the river is really a good idea.”
President Lin asked Liu Haisheng a little mysteriously:
"Do you think the anti-Japanese team will come to intercept the ship this time? It would be great if we could tell them the situation of the fleet. Because in this war, you need to know yourself and the enemy. If you can do this, the fight will be much smoother."
"I don't know if they will come to intercept the ship. I really hope our people can come. But if they do come, I'm afraid our people will be frightened again. Because our people are really going to fight with the Japanese.
, bullets will fly everywhere, and the people in front of you will fall one after another. People who have never seen such a scene will not be able to stand it once they see it."
It was getting darker and darker, and the quiet night was a bit scary. Suddenly, there was some noise in the reeds in front.
