Chapter 492 Zhao Zhonghe's Request
In the end, Hatoyama Kyorimaru couldn't escape the machine-gun-like barrage from the silly girl.
The control of the ship's guns involves various short bursts, long bursts, and predictive firing.
Seeing this utterly indifferent attitude towards the cannonballs made Bai Luo feel incredibly distressed.
I would glance at the remaining points on the Silly Bear account every now and then.
Finally, after the silly girl fired nearly 40 shells, she finally turned the fighter plane under Hatoyama's command into a big fireball.
What Bai Luo didn't know was that when Hatoyama Jorimaru was hit by the silly girl, he was also relaxing his highly tense nerves, with a relieved smile on his face, calmly watching himself being engulfed by the flames of the explosion.
God knows how he endured those less than two minutes.
With the wreckage of Hatoyama's aircraft crashing into the sea, the battle between the Japanese fighter squadron and the battleship "Shakuma" came to a complete end.
But just as Bai Luo was about to have Xiao Lan fire on the three Japanese warships that hadn't been destroyed yet,
Bai Luo received a call from Zhang Yunhai.
Upon seeing that the caller was Zhang Yunhai, Bai Luo temporarily disregarded the three Japanese warships and immediately connected the communication.
They were afraid that Zhang Yunhai's call was because something had happened on Zhao Zhonghe's side.
"Zhang Yunhai, is something wrong that you're calling? Or is there a problem with Professor Zhao?"
Before Zhang Yunhai could speak, Bai Luo asked the question as soon as the call connected.
"Young Master, we have already met Professor Zhao and secured him and his research lab, but..."
Before Zhang Yunhai could finish speaking, his wrist was pulled in front of him by Zhao Zhonghe, who was standing next to him, looking anxious and jumping up and down.
"I'm here to talk to Xiao Luo. You're being too slow. Are you talking to this bracelet? Xiao Luo, can you even hear me?"
"I can hear you. Uncle Zhao, how's your research going? And Uncle Zhao, is there something you need to tell me about having Zhang Yunhai contact me?"
Bai Luo felt much more at ease after hearing Zhao Zhonghe's voice.
After all, he's been busy causing trouble in Japan these past few days, and he hasn't had time to contact people in Yunnan Province.
However, Bai Luo was also worried that something unexpected might happen in Yunnan Province, because the thing Zhao Zhonghe was researching was extremely important.
However, Zhao Zhonghe's urgent request to contact him through Zhang Yunhai must mean he has something urgent to discuss with him.
Moreover, judging from Zhao Zhonghe's tone just now, the matter must be quite serious. So he went straight to the point.
When Bai Luode inquired about his research progress, Zhao Zhonghe's anxious expression couldn't help but reveal a hint of excitement.
"Xiao Luo, my research here is going very well. In three months at most, we can start the detonation experiment."
Zhao Zhonghe paused at this point, and then the excitement on his face vanished completely.
Then he continued.
"Xiao Luo, Uncle Zhao is asking you for a favor. Could you get Yunhai and the others to help the Blue Party attack the Japanese fortress on Songshan Mountain?"
I'm really not in any danger for now. If things get really bad, just leave two soldiers here; that's enough. I just can't bear to see so many students and kids your age going to the front lines to fight the Japanese!
Bai Luo, who was on the Silly Bear, was somewhat confused after hearing Zhao Zhonghe's words.
However, he also keenly caught the key words in Zhao Zhonghe's words.
"Songshan? Children? Students?"
This immediately reminded Bai Luo of the tragic battle during the War of Resistance against Japan in his previous life.
Of the 7000 child soldiers, one-seventh were killed in a single battle.
And judging from what Zhao Zhonghe said, it seems that this situation is about to occur in this parallel world as well.
"Professor Zhao, let me explain the situation to the young manager."
While Bai Luo was still immersed in her memories.
Zhang Yunhai's voice came through the bracelet.
"Young Master, the situation is like this. In order to protect the cross-border passage, the Blue Party in Yunnan Province fought fiercely with the Japanese soldiers, resulting in a huge number of Blue Party casualties. The entire Yunnan Province is almost at the point where there are no soldiers left to recruit."
Meanwhile, Major General Zhong Ling, commander of the Blue Party's 71st Army, which was responsible for capturing the Japanese Songshan Fortress, had nearly wiped out its 30,000 soldiers in the past 10 days of fighting.
There were less than 10,000 soldiers left, and most of them were wounded.
However, due to various circumstances, the Blue Party's reinforcements were delayed, so Major General Zhong Ling, the commander of the 71st Army, had no choice but to order a reduction in the conscription age, recruiting anyone taller than a rifle.
Zhang Yunhai paused here, then continued.
"The number of children who have signed up is approaching 10,000, and most of them are orphans whose parents were killed by the Japanese invaders."
When this news reached the ears of the students at the polytechnic university where Professor Zhao worked, they also refused to continue their studies and have now all gone on strike to the conscription office.
This also includes Professor Zhao's students and some young teachers at the school.
In their words, what's the point of them studying if the country is gone?
As Zhang Yunhai spoke, his voice became somewhat hoarse.
Clearly, his emotions were also affected by this incident. Not only him, but also his more than 200 men kept asking him to join the fight after hearing about it.
Even Sun Jiahao, the captain of the first squad, wanted to send a telegram to Zhang Qing, asking him to send over the newly recruited Ninth Army.
The battle of Songshan is not for children to fight.
But Zhang Yunhai stopped him.
"Young Master, let us go. I'll have Sun Jiahao lead a small team to stay with Professor Zhao. We'll make sure Professor Zhao doesn't encounter any danger."
Meanwhile, inside the information warfare center of the Silly Bear, Qin Lan and Silly Girl looked expectantly at Bai Luo, who was bowing his head and remaining silent.
They heard what Zhang Yunhai said earlier.
The meaning in their eyes was clear: they wanted to go too.
For a moment, the only sound in the entire information warfare hall was the snoring of Silly Bear.
Time passed second by second; it was unclear whether a minute or two had passed.
Just as Zhao Zhonghe, who was in the research room at Kunming University, couldn't help but speak up.
Bai Luo finally spoke.
"Zhang Yunhai, I understand your feelings, but protecting Uncle Zhao will always be your top priority."
I've finished my business here. After I get back to Er City and make some preparations, I should be able to get to Kunming Airport by tomorrow afternoon at the latest.
"I'll go as well."
“My child, I am here too.”
Before Bai Luo could finish speaking, Sha Niu and Qin Lan immediately chimed in.
Bai Luo glanced at them and slowly nodded, agreeing to their request.
Zhang Yunhai and Zhao Zhonghe also heard Bai Luo's words at that moment.
The two couldn't help but exchange a glance, their eyes filled with excitement.
Zhang Yunhai responded hastily.
"Yes, young manager, we'll wait for you here at the school."
Afterwards, Bai Luo inquired about Zhao Zhonghe's progress in the He experiment and whether he needed Zhao Zhonghe's help in finding any materials.
Upon learning that everything was progressing smoothly except for the lack of a testing site, Bai Luo immediately smiled.
His gaze involuntarily turned to the direction where Japan was located.
After Bai Luo hung up and sent a message.
He immediately ordered Xiao Lan to fire follow-up shots at the remaining three warships of the Japanese carrier group.
I wonder if it was influenced by Zhang Yunhai's phone call earlier.
At this moment, Bai Luo was filled with murderous intent and launched 10 high-explosive anti-ship missiles in one go.
The missiles were launched by the Japanese cruisers Utakata (2 missiles), Takeda (3 missiles), and Nagao (6 missiles).
After Bai Luo pressed the launch button.
As expected, within minutes, Xiao Lan's synthesized voice rang out in the information warfare hall.
"Commander, all targets have been eliminated."
"Little Blue, set sail immediately for Wei Harbor, take the shortest route, keep the active radar on the whole way, and bomb anything that will affect the return of the Silly Bear to feed the fish."
"Yes, Commander."
As Xiao Lan's synthesized voice faded, the Silly Bear, which had been drifting with the current, began to slowly turn its bow and head straight for the northern peninsula of Japan.
