Upon hearing this, Chen Feng dropped the rabbit on his shoulder to the ground, took the telegram and started reading it. He had been worried about the Japanese bombing, and now that it was snowing heavily, he had been a little lazy, but the Japanese actually sent ships to bombard him.

After reading the telegram, Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief. The walkie-talkie, this small walkie-talkie played a significant role. First, the sentry on Xiaomai Island discovered the enemy situation and quickly contacted the destroyer and cruiser with the walkie-talkie. The two ships started immediately and sounded the alarm of the enemy's sneak attack. The coastal artillery batteries immediately alerted and aimed, and opened fire when the Japanese ships were about to enter Jiaozhou Bay. Similarly, the two ships of the Jiaolong Regiment were also circling and firing.

Four Japanese cruisers and two frigates attacked. After an hour-long artillery battle, two light cruisers were hit and caught fire. They fled southward with billowing smoke. The other four warships did not dare to fight because of the tight defense and escorted the two cruisers away.

The destroyer of the Jiaolong Regiment was hit by a shell. Fortunately, the explosion occurred at the stern of the ship. Apart from some damage to the railings and a hole in the deck, there was no other loss and the ship itself did not suffer serious damage.

Chen Feng's face turned pale, realizing that the Japanese warships were heading for his navy, wanting to nip them in the bud.

"Let's go up the mountain."

"Zi Han, send a telegram to the Guard Regiment and the Third Regiment, asking them to take action tonight and use their firepower advantage to blow up the bunkers on the Jinpu Line and the Longhai East Line and teach them a lesson."

"Send another plaintext telegram. The cold winter is coming. We are unable to take care of so many invaders' expatriates. For 37,000 expatriates, we will charge them 100 dollars per person. After a discount, we will only charge them 3 million dollars. You can either give them the money or let them spend the winter with the spirit of Bushido. It's your choice."

Chen Guoqing hurriedly persuaded:

"Captain brother, you can't do this, you will be criticized."

"Criticism? I, Chen Feng, have killed countless Japanese devils. If you really count them carefully, two hundred thousand is no more, no less! I never take any prisoners of war. Why would I care about other people's criticisms? Anyone who enters Chinese territory is an invader. Even if they don't have weapons, they have wolfish ambitions. Zi Han, just post it like this. I want to see who is still complaining. In troubled times, kill the Virgin Mary first. Whoever complains will be killed."

Seeing Chen Feng carrying a rifle and a rabbit up the mountain, Chen Guoqing was a little worried. He looked at Song Zihan anxiously, and Song Zihan smiled sweetly.

"Don't worry, Brother Guoqing! Didn't you see that the captain is still carrying the rabbits? If the captain really loses his mind, it will be much more terrible than this. The small-scale destruction of the two railway lines is a reminder, and asking the Japanese to send money is to give them a chance to admit their mistakes. The captain is not in a hurry to fight the Japanese to the death, otherwise he will have no time to accompany us to hunt rabbits. Don't think that three million is a lot of money. I estimate that we will receive it before tomorrow evening at the latest. The Japanese are smart, and they will definitely pay a price if the sneak attack fails."

Chen Guoqing remained silent, carrying his gun and following Chen Feng's footsteps. He felt that he was already a hero among men, but the gap between his decisiveness and Leng Qiang's was too big. Using overseas Chinese as bargaining chips required more than just courage.

Only the Guards Regiment and the Third Regiment knew the telegram about destroying the railway line, but everyone could receive the plaintext telegram. I don't know how the Japs had provoked Captain Cold Gun again. He wanted to freeze more than 30,000 Japs to death. But it sounded quite satisfying. The Japs were not human beings. Freezing them to death was good enough. Cutting them into pieces would be better.

The Japanese army was unusually silent and did not immediately call back to make a statement. Having learned the lesson from the last time, they had to organize their language tightly, otherwise they would be the ones who would suffer.

The crowd got the news that it was the Japanese warships that attacked the Yimeng guerrillas' navy. This made the cold gun captain furious. He felt a little funny and a little emotional. When did his spine straighten up unconsciously? He never heard the panic of diplomatic disputes again. Sure enough, the right to speak had to be blasted out by cannons.

The spectators waited all night but did not see the Japanese troops return. Instead, they received news that the Jinpu Line and the Longhai East Line were interrupted. Three luxurious bunkers were built on each railway line, and large holes were blown out on the railway lines. It was a cold winter, and it would take some time to repair the railway lines.

In the early morning, the Japanese North China Expeditionary Army Headquarters announced that the ocean would be sent to Qingdao by merchant ship at 3 pm, and asked Captain Leng Qiang to treat the overseas Chinese well.

The Japanese army's reply also caused an uproar. Three million dollars! Did they just give it to them? They regarded human life as worthless. Why were they so eager to admit defeat?

The Japanese army also had its own grievances. Among this group of overseas Chinese, there were many with backgrounds, including Kaisha Kabushiki Kaisha, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, as well as many families of officers and relatives of large groups. Not to mention three million, even ten million would be enough for the Japanese to recognize.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, a merchant ship entered the waters near Qingdao with a white flag. For fear of being misunderstood by the garrison, huge white cloths were hung on the bow and stern of the ship. Under the guidance of the garrison on the shore, the merchant ship approached Shilaoren Beach. A Japanese soldier politely asked for the unit number and directed the crew to start moving the goods.

Three million ocean dollars, each ocean dollar weighed 26.6 grams, and weighed nearly eighty tons. Chen Rongwei and the special forces team members wearing gas masks checked it. It took more than an hour to move everything. Chen Rongwei wrote a receipt seriously, threw it to the Japanese leader and waved into the sea. The Japanese leader did not dare to say anything harsh. He put away the receipt, bowed, and took the crew back to the merchant ship in a small boat.

"Captain Chen, the Japanese just bowed to you, why didn't you return the greeting?"

"Are you itching for trouble? Hurry up and move the goods. We need to exchange Dayang for gold bars from the New Fourth Division. Then the gold bars have to be transported to Tuopajian and hidden. You won't be able to sleep tonight."

"Battalion commander, the captain is so awesome. With just one sentence, he made the Japanese pay three million dollars. Three million! I can't spend it all in my lifetime. No, I can't spend it all in ten lifetimes."

"Qu Donglai, look at what you have achieved. Isn't it just a bunch of dollars? I'm warning you! Don't have any bad ideas. You know the rules of our guerrillas. Once discovered, you will be dismissed and investigated. Although you won't be shot, you can only live in the cave and wait for death until you defeat the Japanese."

Qu Donglai was instantly furious. He didn't dare to get angry at the battalion commander, so he hurriedly tried to prove his innocence.

"Battalion commander, my life was saved by Captain Lengqiang and the dean. If it weren't for Captain Lengqiang, even if I, Old Qu, didn't die, my legs would have been sawed off. You can suspect that I was greedy and stole food, but no matter how inhuman I am, I would never do such a thing."

"Okay, okay, change your temper. Now that I know that the captain and the dean jointly performed the surgery on you, I don't doubt you. I'm using your words to warn everyone. After all, it's three million oceans. We all need to be vigilant. In case any of our brothers are blinded by money, don't give them the chance to take the wrong path. Do you understand?"

Qu Donglai was pulled back from the brink of death thanks to the surgery performed jointly by the captain and the dean, and he talked about it every day as if it was some miraculous achievement.
