Then, on July [-]th, intelligence agencies lurking in Yamaguchi, Ehime, and Kochi counties sent Lin Yuan a message: a large number of Japanese troops had set off and planned to arrive at Kyushu Island by transport ship on the coast.

Lin Yuan also ordered the central front army to speed up the landing, and ordered the northern front army to quickly expand to the entire island of Hokkaido. At this time, on the central battlefield, Lin Yuan's troops had advanced to the Tianliang Mountain defense line and launched a tentative attack on the Japanese army. I was waiting for a strategic decisive battle with the Japanese army, so I didn't order the troops to attack with all my might.

While the Fukuoka landing force was probing for an attack, the engineering troops converted all the small islands around Fukuoka into material transfer islands, and stored a large amount of ammunition, food and medicine. These materials passed through North Korea from the northeast and arrived at the material transfer island continuously. The transshipment inadvertently promoted the rapid economic development of North Korea, and the North Koreans who benefited had minimized their fear and distrust of China. The battle against Japan actually promoted the stability of North Korea, which Lin Yuan had never thought of before.

On July [-]th, the Japanese army transported more than a thousand ships, but the Suzaku and Xuanwu ships were helpless. At eight o'clock in the evening, Zhu Shiwu reported the situation to Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan thought for a moment and immediately contacted Li Jianfeng: " Where is your Littoral Combat Ship fleet now?"

Li Jianfeng replied: "My fleet is currently ten nautical miles away from Shimonoseki Port. We are now planning to sail westward, bypass Kyushu Island, and enter the Seto Inland Sea from the Bungo Channel."

Lin Yuan said: "Now I order you to enter the Seto Inland Sea directly from the waterway of Shimonoseki Port, stop the Japanese army's transport fleet, and no longer detour through Kyushu Island."

Li Jianfeng said: "Shuai Lin, you are so wise. According to our previous route, it would take at least [-] nautical miles of detours. It would be much more convenient to go directly to the waterway of Xiaguan Port!"

Lin Yuan said: "When formulating the combat plan, some staff members proposed this plan, but I think it is too dangerous to do so, because you have to travel under the noses of the Japanese army, and you have to go through unfamiliar waterways. I don’t understand, but the military situation is urgent now, you must reach the Seto Inland Sea as soon as possible, otherwise the Japanese army will mobilize heavy troops and cause us a lot of trouble.”

Li Jianfeng replied: "Please rest assured, Lin Shuai, during the normal establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Japan, the intelligence personnel of our fleet once walked through this waterway as business representatives, and they are quite familiar with it. You can't see who we are!"

Lin Yuan said: "Very well, then you can act immediately."

Li Jianfeng said loudly: "Yes! We promise to complete the mission!" Li Jianfeng put down the communicator after speaking, and then said to the Littoral Combat Ship in the fleet: "Change the formation, form a column, walk down the waterway of Guangang, and go straight to Seto Indoor Sea."

The Littoral Combat Ships use water jet propulsion. One of the advantages of this type of propeller is its flexible steering. Therefore, the fifty Littoral Combat Ships did not take much time to complete the formation change. At 08:30 in the evening At that time, Li Jianfeng's Littoral Combat Ship No. 001 approached the entrance of the waterway of Xiaguan Port.

Shimonoseki Port was originally an important commercial port connecting Japan and North Korea. Now North Korea has been occupied by Lin Yuan's troops, so Xiaguan Port has lost its former prosperity. However, Lin Yuan's troops have landed in Fukuoka, and Shimonoseki Port has also strengthened its defense. However, there is no decent coastal defense fort in Xiaguan Port, because the original Xiaguan Port did not have coastal defense fort, and it is too late to repair it now.

The Littoral Combat Fleet sails into a narrow waterway. Before the ship sails into the port, it must report to the port navigation management department in advance. The navigation management department will send a pilot to the incoming ship and personally drive the incoming ship. This is also a national sovereignty. However, the Littoral Battle Fleet did not report in advance. For the port navigation management department, this fleet appeared out of nowhere.

The navy stationed at Shimonoseki Port hastily dispatched a gunboat to intercept the Littoral Combat Fleet. This gunboat is an old antique with a age of more than 30 years. The cannon is still front-loaded, which shows that the Japanese Navy has no ships available.

The old antique gunboat contacted the Littoral Combat Fleet with the common frequency of international maritime radio, and said: "We are the Navy of the Empire of Japan. Your fleet has sailed into the port of the Empire of Japan. Please identify yourself immediately and accept the diversion of the Empire of Japan, otherwise My ship will sink your ship."

Li Jianfeng saw from the night vision equipment that this warship is not big, and the side decks are still made of wood, so he immediately felt contemptuous and teasing, and said: "We are a Japanese merchant ship, the power system is not working properly, and the radio device is also damaged. I can’t notify your port department.”

The old antique gunboat believed it was true, and said: "Then stop the ship immediately, and we will send pilots and mechanics to your ship."

Li Jianfeng suppressed a smile and said, "No, we can't stop the boat. Our boat is already leaking. We only survived the sinking thanks to the water pump. Our water pump is driven by the main engine. If we stop the boat, our boat will sink!"

The old antique gunboat said: "It turns out that this is the case, don't be afraid, we will arrange a rescue ship for you..." At this time, the old antique gunboat activated the searchlight, and a beam of light hit the littoral combat ship. The people on the old antique gunboat instantly saw After clearing the densely packed gun barrels on the Littoral Combat Ship, the people on the gunboat suddenly shouted in surprise: "You have gun barrels on your ship, and there are a lot of them. You are actually a warship. Are you a warship of the Chinese people?"

Li Jianfeng held the microphone with his hands, and said to the staff next to him: "The game is about to end, tell the gunner, the main gun is ready, first send a series of shells, and destroy this old gunboat."

The staff officer nodded to convey the order, but Li Jianfeng said to the old antique gunboat in the communicator: "We are Japanese warships, you must not attack us."

How could the old antique gunboats believe what Li Jianfeng said? They immediately loaded the gunpowder into the barrel. The propellant of this kind of antique muzzle-loading gun is a powder bag. The bottom of the barrel, but just as the gunner put the long rod in, the LCS shells arrived.

The outer deck of the antique gunboat is as fragile as a piece of paper. The shells shot through it without much effort, and then exploded inside the cabin. The structural strength of the old antique gunboat's hull is already very low. A large hole with a diameter of more than ten meters was blown out, and the old antique gunboat sank within 5 minutes without support.
