Chapter 177 Hua Mingyue is dark and misty, I want to go to Langbian tonight
Sure enough, Ma Yinglong suddenly pushed open the door and saw Wang Rulong not even taking off his clothes, sitting in front of the desk in an neatly dressed manner, staring straight at the open porthole.
I saw the night light white, and that fog had been completely generated on the sea surface.
Wang Rulong was not scared by the sudden sound of pushing the door, but still kept moving Rushan: "The red-haired ghost can't hold it anymore?"
"Yes!" Ma Yinglong said excitedly: "Just received information from the headquarters, saying that the Portuguese are very likely to attack the island while the fog is being used!"
"Okay!" Wang Rulong simply burst out a word, then slowly stood up, reached out to take the hat and helmet hanging on the wall, put it on his head, and strode out of the cabin. At the same time, he ordered in a deep voice:
“Urgent gathering!”
The deafening alarm bell rang on the 101 town Japanese ships, followed by the 102, 103, 104 ships.
Then 201 Wind Chase, 202 Sun Chase, 203 Whale Shooting, 204 Tiger Shooting, 205 Murdering, 206 Wei Qing, 207 Sun Challenge, 208 Must Win,
No. 209 Fenglei, 210 Modiao, 211 Taisui, 212 Bifang, 213 Beiming, 214 Huya, 215 Zidian, 216 Kering, 217 Qixing, 285 Babao, 219 Jiutian, 220 Houyi... and all small ships, speedboats, and transport ships all rang out alarms!
The coast guard officers and soldiers immediately got up from the bed and rushed to the decks of each ship as quickly as possible.
On the hut of the town, Wang Rulong stood on the forecastle in a straight wool-filled police officer dress. The golden star and the neat medal on his chest shone brightly under the gas lamp. He didn't need a loudspeaker, and the sound of a full breath reached the ears of every officer and soldier on the deck.
"Everyone, the fighter we have been waiting for has emerged, and the time for the decisive battle has arrived! This is a battle that determines the masters of the Ming Dynasty's sea area, a battle that determines the future and destiny of the group and each of us, and each family!"
The deck was quiet, and young faces were filled with tension, excitement, and a hint of fear. Even the most insensitized coast guard officers could feel that this battle was not comparable. They would face an unprecedented strong enemy, and there might be unprecedented casualties...
"Since the formation of the coast guard fleet, it has been eager for such a battle. Only by fighting with the old naval power and winning it can we truly reflect our value. I deserve to say that I am the best in the world!" Wang Rulong continued to sing loudly.
"The best in the world!" beside him, the fleet police commissioner Ma Yilong raised his arms and shouted.
"The best in the world!" This sound seemed to break the damming lake, and the officers and soldiers roared along the mountains and seas.
On other warships, the captains also slogged the same lines. The calls for "the world's number one" were continuous, but with the interference of the waves, they would not be too far away.
"I ask you to wipe out the enemy's main fleet at all costs, and you cannot let a large sailboat go!" Wang Rulong finally pulled out the golden sword, pointed to the stern on the opposite side, and shouted:
"I will always stand on the stern of the flagship and lead the fleet forward! For the great cause of the group and the young master, you will sacrifice your life and fight bravely! Until the last person!"
Unless the combat effectiveness is completely lost, the flagship will sail at the forefront of the fleet from beginning to end, and will naturally be subject to the key attention of enemy ship artillery fire. The stern tower is the helmhouse and command center, and of course it is the top priority of the enemy's strike.
Wang Rulong bet on his own life to inspire the coast guard officers and soldiers to fight bravely. The fleet's highest commander was not afraid of death and was charged forward. The soldiers would naturally be greatly encouraged and have the courage to face the upcoming battle.
After the lecture, there were still a few hours before entering the battlefield. The police officers began to lead the police officers in an orderly manner according to the plan. They first sorted out the internal affairs and put their personal belongings into the cabinet. Then they took the hammock and took the bedding to the deck together, and wrapped the railings, masts, gangways, outer walls of the cabin, and even the decks on all the parts of personnel's activities.
Past experience has proved that doing so can not only provide effective protection for important parts of the warship, but also greatly reduce casualties in naval battles. Because in the era of wooden warships, solid shells hit the hull and splashed debris, which was the biggest threat to the personnel on the ship.
Finally, the crew sprinkled sand on the canvas laid on the deck and poured water on it. This was to prevent slipping and fireproof.
After preparing for the battle, the officers and soldiers lined up to the bathroom on the boat to take turns taking a shower.
The bathroom of the Garen ship is located at the lower part of the bow gun position, and is a trapezoidal platform. On the inside of the platform is a circle of benches. There are round holes on the stool surface, which is the toilet of the crew. On weekdays, the caspian police officers and soldiers are here, enjoying the beautiful scenery seen by picking up guests and shredding meat, and putting the poop into the sea.
Although the policemen cleaned the place cleaner than their own faces, the officers and soldiers all complained about it, thinking that it was too much affecting Feng Shui, but they could only make improvements on the newly built warships in the future.
At this time, the officers and soldiers gathered naked in the bathroom in teams, using fresh water delivered from the transport ship to shower. At this time, you will find that they have all shaved their heads.
In this way, once the head is injured, the boat doctor and his colleagues can easily see the wound clearly, which can significantly reduce the preparation time for the wound. However, because hair is traditionally valued, the former boat doctor only advised and never mandated.
But before this expedition, the headquarters ordered everyone to shave their heads. From Zhao Hao to Jin Ke to Wang Rulong, they all set an example and showed their determination to reach the last person. Therefore, the officers and soldiers were not resistant and shaved their heads obediently with tears.
Then they said, "Damn it, it's so cool!" Bald people are happy for a while, and bald people are happy for a while!"
The bald and stink officers and soldiers washed their whole bodies and put on new original linen training uniforms, brand new socks, and rubber-soled leather boots that were disinfected with sulfur. This was the suggestion from Li Lunming. He believed that once injured in the battle and wounded soldiers wearing clean clothes would greatly reduce the risk of infection.
Moreover, this is also a good psychological massage. The ritual of bathing and changing clothes can help officers and soldiers eliminate distractions. At the same time, this serious behavior, whether it is really useful or not, will make the officers and soldiers feel a strong sense of security. It implies that they do not have to be afraid of being injured, but just focus on fighting. This is of great significance to improving the wartime state of the fleet.
This cost is completely insignificant for the wealthy Jiangnan Group. Mr. Zhao prepared two new sets of clothes for the officers and soldiers from top to bottom with a stroke of his pen.
At three o'clock in the morning, all the reconnaissance speedboats sent out also reported that hundreds of ships from Portugal and the pirates combined fleet moved towards the Deep Ao Bay north of South Ao Island.
Wang Rulong immediately ordered the fleet to draw anchors, and all combat ships followed the water diversion ships, lined up in two columns, slowly sailing towards the depths of the thick fog.
~~
As Jinke expected, the Portuguese drove the fleet to the Shenao Bay, which was about to land in the middle of the night.
Shenaowan is also the original home of Wu Ping. Zeng Yiben, Lin Daogan and other sea owners all came out from here. The old brothers under their command were naturally familiar with this area.
The Portuguese were very cautious about this desperate action and left two large sailboats to guard the bay entrance. The remaining two large sailboats followed behind the vast fleet to cover their landing.
There is also good firepower on six Calavell sailboats and twenty old gate ships. Even if there is an emergency on the shore, it can be completely suppressed.
It was just a tide at this time, which was very conducive to the fleet landing.
The people from Wuyangtong Trading Hall used barges to transport the pirates from the big ship to a waist-deep water level, and drove them out of the ship quickly so that they could go back and transport the next batch.
After the pirates wade through the water and stumbled onto the shore and confirmed that there was no ambush on the beach, five hundred fully armed Portuguese infantry, as well as five hundred Portuguese civilians recruited from Macau to the maximum extent, five hundred Europeans, and three thousand Annan mercenaries and two thousand slaves, led by Colonel Fernando, the deputy commander of the Macau fleet, also came down from the Portuguese ships to reorganize the team on the beach.
By the time the 6,500 Portuguese troops and 30,000 pirates had assembled, it was already four o'clock in the morning.
Seeing that the progress was severely slow, Fernando was anxious and quickly urged to set off. Under the leadership of the guide, the team divided into three teams according to the plan and headed towards Qing'ao Bay.
The North Road is the closest, and you can reach Qing'ao Bay within less than five miles.
It takes nearly six miles to walk on Jinshan on the middle road.
The south road is on Johor Bahru, and the eight miles road.
The first two routes were pirates, and the third route was the Portuguese army led by Fernando. Of course, he was not arrogant and honest, but to let the pirates go to the battlefield first and attract the Jiangnan Group's troops as much as possible. In this way, when his subordinates finally entered the battlefield, they naturally faced much less pressure.
Although Nanao Island is full of mountains, the mountains are very smooth, only a few dozen meters away, and it does not affect the speed of the march.
Before coming, the people from Wuyangtong Trading Hall had already given rewards to the pirates. All those who participated in the war were rewarded with ten taels of silver, kill one person and then rewarded with ten taels of silver. The leader was doubled, and the big leader was super doubled. Anyone who could win Zhao Hao's head or capture him alive would be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver!
In the minds of pirates, Wuyangtong Trading Hall is synonymous with wealth and wealth, so they all believe in their promises. The so-called reward must be brave men. The pirates who eat and drink are finally excited and want to pick more heads to celebrate the New Year.
Therefore, no one delayed the journey. In less than an hour, the northern passers-by arrived outside Qing'ao Bay first.
At this time, it was dark before dawn, and the fog was heavy, so I couldn't see my five fingers. The guide who opened the way in front of me hit a hard stone wall before he could react.
"Oh..." The guide couldn't help but scream. Before the word "Ah" was spoken, the second Japanese behind him covered his mouth.
"Fuck you, whisper! What's wrong?" The manager of Wuyangtong Trading Hall shouted in a low voice.
"Why are there more walls?" The guide groped ahead with confusion. His hand felt thick and should be piled up with rocks.
"Their old nest is inside, is it abnormal to have a wall?" The second Japanese devil said angrily, then waved his hand behind him, and several subordinates carrying ladders came over immediately and put the ladder onto a wall more than three meters high.
A subordinate plucked up the courage to climb up, carefully looked around, and saw a quiet silence, and there was no figure.
Chapter completed!
