Chapter 379 The Unsinkable Ship

Pang Jun, a veteran of the Dengzhou Navy, was not wrong in his predictions. Following Song Ming, the second batch of Fuzhou Navy that arrived at the Lianshan Island base was indeed not the main force, but its fleet size reached an astonishing four 2000-year-old warships. Ten battleships with three thousand materials and dozens of other auxiliary warships. Even if the sailors equipped by the warships were excluded, the marines that arrived with the ships alone reached an astonishing 5000 people. The [-]-strong Marine Corps of the State Navy has reached more than one-third.

With the influx of a large number of soldiers, coupled with the lighting technicians who came with the ship, the construction of the Lianshan Island base was completed at a rapid speed. The army has always been the most effective machine, and the Fuzhou water The sense of crisis of the whole division made them rush to work day and night, striving to build the Lianshan Island base as solid as gold before the war came.

Seeing the battleship covering the sky and covering the sun appeared in front of his eyes, Black Eagle Yuan Gang couldn't help being dizzy. The strength of the other party made him tremble with fear, and he was very grateful that he was already one of them, while Song The discovery of the letters from the family members of the original Lianshan Island pirates also made these gangsters who were somewhat helpless willingly join this enthusiastic group. A piece of land, a room, and more importantly, a clean identity.

"Liang'er is going to school!" Yuan Gang repeatedly looked at the family letter in his hand. From the family letter, he knew that his wife is now enjoying the treatment of the family members of senior generals in the Fuzhou Navy, and his son has even entered a local school. Seeing the crooked signature at the end of the family letter, Yuan Gang smiled crookedly.

Song Faming brought Li Qing's order and a series of orders from Deng Peng, the commander of the navy. Lianshan Island will become the most important material reserve base for the Fuzhou Navy on the Heishui Ocean, and will serve as the Fuzhou Navy's battle against Heishui Based on this, the Lianshan Island base has been greatly upgraded from Zheng Zhiyuan's original plan, and the senior craftsmen who arrived have redesigned a series of military facilities such as docks, fortresses, warehouses, and military depots.

"Marshal Li said that Lianshan Island will be built into an unsinkable ship on the Blackwater Ocean!" Zheng Zhiyuan said in a sonorous tone at the mobilization meeting, "In order to fulfill Marshal Li's order, let us work harder! Lianshan Island will forever record the names of you, the first batch of officers and soldiers of the Fuzhou Navy who arrived here."

Wide wharves, strong water docks, tall fortresses, even the mountain islands are undergoing drastic changes every day. Large areas of rocks are mined and transported to the seashore, turning into solid breakwaters, hideous fortresses, and muddy fortresses. The mountain road was forcibly opened up into a galloping path for several war horses to drive side by side. On the excavated space, soldiers' dormitories and material warehouses built of stones or giant trees rose up. The current company Even Yuan Gang, who has lived here for most of his life, feels completely unfamiliar with Shandao.

The military depots and warehouses are hidden in the dense woods, only the tall watchtowers will show half of their heads above the tops of the trees. From the sea, except for the pier, Lianshan Island is still lush and green. Every time you patrol from the sea After returning home, looking at the lush greenery, Yuan Gang was a little bit amazed. The craftsman in charge of the overall design on Lianshan Island was a perfect hunter. Dig up giant trees and transplant them.

The exposed piers, water docks, and fortresses of Lianshan Island are actually just the tip of his iceberg, but the real attacking weapon comes from between the patches of woods and the high cliff arms on the other two sides.

Yuan Gang swore that he had never seen so many trebuchets lined up densely in the woods in his life. The stone cannons are all around ten kilograms. It is very rare for Dingzhou to grind stone bullets into balls in order to pursue the efficiency of strikes, but the stone bullets fired by these ten giant trebuchets are all over one hundred kilograms. At the same time, nearly [-] soldiers are required to operate, and the firing speed is also super slow. Other trebuchets shoot out five rounds, and he shoots at most one round, but Yuan Gang knows that if this kind of trebuchet really hits the ship, Just one hit is enough to penetrate a large ship with three thousand materials, causing irreparable losses.As sharp weapons for guarding the island, these ten giant trebuchets were tailor-made for the Lianshan Island base, and they were calibrated with Zhuyuan.

Seeing where those catapults were aiming at, Yuan Gang knew that Zheng Zhiyuan, who had just been promoted, had already laid a trap for the Southern Navy, just waiting for the opponent to step in.

Yuan Gang has already fully experienced Zheng Zhiyuan's methods. Yuan Gang fears and admires him now. At the same time, it makes him even more awed by Deng Peng, the naval commander who is above Zheng Zhiyuan. I am afraid that this Commander Deng really has descended from the stars in the sky.

Now Yuan Gang is the Captain Zhenwu of Fuzhou Water Quantity. After training, his two hundred men were dismantled and distributed to the entire fleet. Yuan Gang has nothing to say about this, and this is what he expected. Originally, he was worried that the sailors assigned to him would not be able to match his old brothers in terms of skills. Bi, but after getting along for a while, Yuan Gang completely let go of his heart. These sailors are not only skilled in water skills, but also have a discipline that cannot be compared with his previous brothers. And he was worried that because he was a pirate and a general, the idea of ​​not convincing these sailors would disappear with the passage of time, and his orders were fully implemented.Now his task is to patrol, patrol and monitor within a range of [-] kilometers around the Lianshan Island base, especially for the possible attack directions of the three major naval divisions of the Southern Army.

Zheng Zhiyuan has been promoted, and now he is the lieutenant general of the Fuzhou navy, and his superior Deng Peng is now the chief of the navy, General Xuanwei.As the supreme commander of all the Fuzhou naval forces that have arrived at the Lianshan Island base, he decided to fight a beautiful victory before General Deng arrived, laying the foundation for Lianshan Island's unsinkable ships, but his goal suddenly disappeared. He hit two goals, and he wanted to hit these two goals together, and he had to hit them beautifully. For this purpose, he had been thinking hard for half a month.

"Everyone!" Zheng Zhiyuan's face was full of red, and a perfect plan had been formed in his mind. Today, he officially announced his battle plan to the officers under his command.

Seeing the yearning eyes of his officers one by one, Zheng Zhiyuan was very satisfied. For a long time, Li Qing had invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the Fuzhou navy, but in the battle of Dingzhou to pacify the grassland and the Shiwei people, he could only serve as a military commander. The supporting role and the role of the captain of the transportation team can only watch helplessly as the brothers in the army make contributions one by one and are full of ambitions, but they, who can only be spectators, finally look forward to the opportunity.

The Fuzhou Navy, which spent a lot of money, has always been quite controversial within the Dingzhou faction. Quite a few powerful people think that it is better to vigorously develop the army than to spend so much money to support a navy. The voice not only put Deng Peng, the chief of the navy, but also Li Qing under considerable pressure. Right now, it is their chance to rectify their names. Next, it will be the stage of the navy fleet.

In the middle of Zheng Zhiyuan's command room on the Izumo, there was a huge sand table model. The army's sand table operations were completely transplanted by the Navy, but the back was replaced with emerald green.Right now, a group of naval officers are sitting around the sand table.

"Everyone!" Zheng Zhiyuan held a wooden pole in his hand, pointed to an island that resembled the terrain of Lianshan Island, and said, "We are in this position now, and here is Lianshan Island."

All the officers gathered together, and Yuan Gang also opened his eyes wide, looking at this small island. This is where he has lived for half his life. Compared with the vast black water ocean, Lianshan Island is too insignificant.

The wooden pole in Zheng Zhiyuan's hand moved forward along Lianshan Island, pointing to a series of small islands and said: "According to the command of the commander-in-chief and the specific deployment of Director Deng, we will establish a series of bases along these islands to form a series of small islands. Deep sea chain, right now, we have completed the first step, which is the construction of the Lianshan Island base, and then we will start our second step of the journey."

"From the second step, we may not be as smooth as before. Lianshan Island has easily obtained a good foothold because of Lieutenant Yuan Gang's understanding of righteousness and the negligence of the Southern Navy. Dear, but this kind of good thing, stop here!" Zheng Zhiyuan nodded slightly to Yuan Gang, Yuan Gang couldn't help but blush, General Zheng is very face-saving, what a sense of righteousness, he was robbed instead of robbed, he had no choice but to ah!But what Zheng Zhiyuan said made him feel better.

"Lieutenant Yuan has been patrolling hard for nearly a month, and found that the patrol area of ​​the Bazhou Navy has suddenly expanded. Their voyage has entered [-] kilometers away from the Heishui Ocean. Why did they suddenly make some moves? I think everyone understands , Our whereabouts have been exposed! When we first came to Heishuiyang, we lost two warships in that storm, presumably the wreckage of these two warships or the remains of the dead soldiers were discovered by the other party." Zheng Zhiyuan road.

"But that's fine. Although the other party knows our whereabouts, they don't know the size of our fleet, let alone the details of Lianshan Island. This gives us a chance to beat them hard. My plan Is such that."

Zheng Zhiyuan's wooden pole first pointed to a small island hundreds of miles away from Lianshan Island, volcanic rock island!
