First, I apologize to everyone. I originally planned to post this chapter at seven, but I wasn't satisfied with it, so I made many revisions, which is why it's being posted now.

Just as Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing were falling asleep, the cabin door suddenly rang. Shen Wanqing, having received special agent training, had sharper hearing and reflexes than the average person. She sat up immediately, and Lin Yuan followed suit. Shen Wanqing got out of bed, opened the door, and saw Ito Yosuke standing there.

At this moment, Lin Yuan also walked over. Ito Yosuke faced Lin Yuan and said sincerely, "Captain Lin, we have some injured soldiers on our Fusang ship. If they don't receive treatment soon, they will not survive. Our medical facilities are limited. I wonder if Captain Lin can help us save their lives."

Lin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Alright, but we are businessmen. The cost of treating them must be covered by you."

Ito Yosuke bowed in a Japanese manner and said, "As long as we can save their lives, we are willing to pay any amount."

Lin Yuan thought, "Do they really want us to treat their injured soldiers? Hmph, it's probably not that simple. What are they up to?"

While Lin Yuan was thinking, Ito Yosuke added, "I hope Captain Lin can contact your ship so that our injured soldiers can receive treatment as soon as possible."

Lin Yuan nodded, opened the communication device, and contacted Captain Han Mingguang, who was in charge of the command on the ship, explaining the situation. He then told Ito Yosuke, "Your injured soldiers can board the ship."

As soon as Ito Yosuke left, Shen Wanqing said anxiously, "How could you agree to him! Who knows what tricks he has up his sleeve."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry. Do you know what unit Political Commissar Han used to be in? After graduating from the National Defense University, he was assigned to the Marine Corps, specializing in special operations. He is proficient in both military and political work. The Japanese want to play tricks under his nose? They've come to the right person!"

The freeboard (the distance from the deck to the waterline) of the Beijing aircraft carrier is 19 meters, while that of the Fusang ship is less than ten meters. Therefore, it is impossible to transfer personnel directly from the deck by boarding. Moreover, Lin Yuan had already anticipated that if the distance was too close, the Japanese ship might attack the carrier. So, he ordered the carrier to stay out of the range of the Japanese ship's guns.

The Fusang ship lowered a lifeboat to transport the injured soldiers to the area between the Fusang ship and the Beijing ship. Since the Japanese lifeboat was powered by manual rowing, its speed was much slower than that of the carrier. Therefore, the Beijing ship specially lowered a lifeboat to meet the Japanese injured soldiers.

According to the International Maritime Organization, the life-saving facilities on a ship must be able to accommodate at least 125% of the ship's personnel. As a military vessel, the Beijing ship's life-saving facilities could accommodate 130% of the ship's personnel. In addition to numerous life rafts, there were four diesel-powered lifeboats, with the entry points at the stern of the ship.

The powerful searchlights on the Fusang ship illuminated the sea as bright as daylight. Han Mingguang, who had studied special operations for decades, was well aware that the Japanese would take this opportunity to cause trouble on the ship. What Han Mingguang did not expect was that the Japanese combat plan was to use soldiers disguised as injured to seize the entire aircraft carrier!

It's not surprising that Han Mingguang didn't think of this. Any person with a basic understanding of naval affairs would know that such a thing is impossible. Modern aircraft carriers have thousands of compartments, and without a layout map, it's impossible to find your way around. However, the Japanese military has always been known for its willingness to take risks. Before the Nomonhan Incident, the Japanese Kwantung Army was far inferior to the Soviet Red Army in both manpower and equipment, yet they dared to launch an offensive. Japan's overall national strength was far behind that of the United States, yet they dared to attack Pearl Harbor and start the Pacific War.

In the mind of the commander of the Imperial Japanese Army, each soldier was worth ten. Before the Nomonhan Incident in 1939, the Japanese estimated their army to be ten times stronger than the Soviet Red Army. The result, of course, was a crushing defeat, with thousands of Japanese soldiers killed.

Ito Yosuke's idea was: let the soldiers give it a try. If they succeed, that's great; if not, a few junior officers can take the blame. This is the疯狂的日本军队.

To deal with any possible unexpected situations, Han Mingguang specially assigned five Marine Corps soldiers to each lifeboat. As the leader of the Marine Corps company, Chen Fei was the first to board the lifeboat to provide security.

Chen Fei held a Type 03 rifle, with a tactical flashlight and a laser pointer mounted on the rail below the barrel. He quietly watched as the Japanese soldiers carried twenty-one injured soldiers on stretchers into the cabin. The injured were wrapped up like mummies. He had already heard that the Fusang ship's boiler had exploded after being attacked, and these people were likely burned by the high-temperature steam inside the boiler, which is more severe than scalding by boiling water.

Chen Fei squatted down and reached out to check the bandages on the injured. At that moment, a soft voice sounded from the side, and a small hand wearing a white glove pushed his hand away. Chen Fei was taken aback and looked up to see a Japanese girl speaking. Her uniform indicated that she was a military doctor. She wore a mask, so her face was not visible, but her large, beautiful eyes were clear.

From her expression, Chen Fei already knew that she was telling him that he was not a medical staff member and should not touch the injured. Chen Fei held his gun and moved to the side, but his eyes involuntarily followed the female doctor.

Soon, the transfer of personnel was complete, and the female doctor accompanied the injured to the Beijing ship. The lifeboat was lifted back onto the ship via the lifeboat elevator, and the medical staff on the Beijing ship began to receive the injured.

Just as the injured were all on board, one of them, wrapped in white bandages, suddenly sat up like a zombie. He pulled off the bandages on his left arm, revealing a short samurai sword. He swung the sword at the doctor who was about to examine him!

The doctor was a middle-aged man who had never seen such a thing. He was so frightened that he forgot to dodge. At that moment, a gunshot rang out, and the Japanese soldier fell to the ground, clutching his wrist and screaming in pain. His hand had been shot by Chen Fei.

The other Japanese injured soldiers quickly drew the short swords hidden in their bandages and began to attack the people around them. Despite the suddenness of the incident, the Marine Corps soldiers quickly took action, but they dared not fire their guns!

The Japanese injured soldiers were mixed in with the doctors, and there were about forty Chinese doctors and nurses present. Their bodies provided excellent cover for the Japanese soldiers. However, the Marine Corps soldiers on the ship were all top-notch marksmen. In their regular shooting training, they had to hit a randomly selected target among several targets, so hitting the target accurately was not difficult. The most critical and terrifying issue was that the Type 03 rifle used the domestically produced DBP87 5.8mm bullet, which had a very strong penetration power. This bullet could penetrate a 10mm steel plate at a distance of 100 meters. At such a close range, the bullet would not slow down after passing through a human body, and thus, while killing the Japanese soldiers, they risked injuring their own comrades!

Seeing that several doctors were about to be attacked by the Japanese soldiers, Chen Fei, in just 0.8 seconds, drew his Type 84 pistol from his waist. In three seconds, six Japanese soldiers were already dead. He could draw his gun so quickly not only because of his constant training but also because his gun was always loaded, a practice not allowed in any military, but Chen Fei insisted on it. He always believed that, as a special shooter, his finger was his safety.

Chen Fei's quick action reminded every Marine Corps soldier. The Type 84 pistol, a favorite of Chinese police, uses 7.62mm pistol rounds. A significant difference between police and military rounds is that military rounds are designed for maximum penetration, as the goal in combat is to kill as many enemies as possible with one shot. Police rounds, on the other hand, are designed for minimum penetration to avoid harming innocent civilians.

The Type 84 pistol uses rounds with strong stopping power and weak penetration, which do not exit the body after entering. Therefore, the Marine Corps soldiers quickly drew their pistols and fired. The fact that these pistols were equipped on the ship was thanks to Political Commissar Han Mingguang, an expert in special operations. The higher-ups originally wanted to equip the more powerful Type 92 pistol, but Han Mingguang insisted on the Type 84, and today it proved useful.

In no time, twenty Japanese soldiers were dead, and the Chinese doctors and nurses had retreated behind the Marine Corps soldiers. The last remaining Japanese soldier, seeing the situation was hopeless, grabbed the female doctor, using her as a shield, and pushed her toward Chen Fei. In the chaos, the female doctor's mask fell off, revealing a young and beautiful face. The panic and helplessness on her face made Chen Fei's heart race.

Chen Fei raised his gun, calmly pointing it at the Japanese soldier behind her. His finger was on the trigger. The moment the Japanese soldier's head appeared, he instinctively pulled the trigger. The bullet grazed the female doctor's hair and shot into the Japanese soldier's forehead.

The T-shaped area from the eyes to the nose is the ideal target for a sniper. Behind this area is the brainstem, which contains various nerve nuclei that process brain nerve signals. Medically, "brainstem death" is the standard for determining the loss of life. Once the brainstem is damaged, the brain loses control over the muscles, including the respiratory muscles that maintain breathing and the cardiac muscles that pump blood, as well as the skeletal muscles that perform various actions. The person dies immediately. Thus, the Japanese soldier's body collapsed.

Just as Chen Fei was relieved, the beautiful female doctor suddenly drew a pistol, the black barrel coldly pointing at herself.
