After Zheng Zhilong personally visited the fort fortress on the top of the mountain, he felt that the fort was quite solid! At the same time, it can resist both land and sea attacks. As long as this fort is there, outsiders will not dare to storm the bay easily. Therefore, Zheng Zhilong simply occupied Xindao as an important supply point and resting place for him to fight against Liu Pei. After all, it is much easier to search the sea surface from Niijima than from Nagasaki and Fujian. And the cottages and barracks here are spacious enough to accommodate resting pirates.

The clipper easily splits the waves and travels quickly on the surface. The person piloting the ship was clearly very familiar with the surrounding seas, and almost played the fastest speed of the ship. After a day and a night of sailing, he finally joined a fleet. This fleet is Liu Pei's first fleet.

After the clippers and the fleet converged, the person looking for the rope at the bottom of the cliff was immediately taken onto Liu Pei's ship. Liu Pei had already fallen asleep at this time, but the guards still woke him up. Because Liu Pei had explained before that once the clipper came back, he would have to wake him up at any time.

Liu Pei, who was woken up, put on his clothes and ordered the guards to bring people in. As soon as the man entered the door, he saluted Liu Pei and said, "The intelligence bureau has a group of dry characters, Luo Yan salutes the handsome!" ”

Liu Pei waved his hand to signal him to finish saluting, and asked with a little urgency, "How is the situation on Xindao?" ”

Luo Yan straightened up and said, "Dashuai, the little one went up the mountain with his brothers, and I have seen it everywhere. Now the new island has become Zheng Zhilong's camp! There are many people living in the cottage and the barracks on the dock. It's smoky! ”

Liu Pei perked up when he heard this, and said, "How many boats are there in the bay?" How many people were probably resting on the shore? ”

Luo Yan recalled: "When I checked it out, there were nine boats in the bay. There are about seven or eight hundred people on the entire island, including those who defend the island! ”

Liu Pei asked solemnly: "Did they occupy the fort?" Did any artillery be planted? ”

Luo Yan said with certainty: "They occupy the fort!" And they also installed three cannons in it! It looks heavy! But there were fewer gunners in the casemate, and they were lazy. When we went to investigate, a dozen people in the fort slept soundly! There was no vigil at all! ”

Liu Pei smiled when he heard the news, and then he asked, "So do they have a sentinel ship outside the bay?" How many sentinel ships were sent? ”

Luo Yan said: "I was lying on the edge of the cliff and watching! They sent only one sentinel ship. It's just that it's too far away for the little ones to see the vigil on their ship. ”

The smile on Liu Pei's face deepened, and he said, "In your opinion, the people on the island are more Zheng Zhilong or his allies?" ”

Luo Yan was very embarrassed and said: "Dashuai, this small one really can't tell the difference!" I eavesdropped on their conversation for some time at the back of the barracks. What is certain is that the more than 100 people who are responsible for guarding this island are Zheng Zhilong's subordinates! As for the others, they can't figure it out! ”

In the following time, Luo Yan was repeatedly interrogated by Liu Pei for almost a quarter of an hour! In the end, Liu Peicai said: "Luo Yan, if you are asked to lead people from the cliff to seize the fort, are you sure?" ”

Luo Yan thought about it carefully and said with certainty: "Go back to Dashuai, it's no problem." But I'll have to bring at least eight people inside, and they'll all have to be from our Intelligence Bureau! ”

Liu Pei slapped his face and said, "Okay! That's it for today! You go and rest, and take credit for the time being. ”

Luo Yan was overjoyed when he heard Liu Pei's words and exited the room. After Luo Yan withdrew, Liu Pei felt more energetic! He stood up with his clothes draped and walked up and down the room. After walking back and forth on the ground for more than a dozen laps, he suddenly stopped and shouted, "Someone! Notify everyone to come to me for a meeting! ”

Liu Pei's order was a bit abrupt. But it was close to the early hours of the morning. The people who came to the meeting were just a little earlier than usual. So soon Liu Pei's room was crowded with people.

At this time, Liu Pei was already dressed. When he saw that everyone had arrived, he said, "Guys, we are about to have a big operation!" I gave this project a name, and it was called the Volcano Project! The Volcano Project was planned by the Intelligence Bureau, and the target of the operation was Shinjima! ”

When the officers below heard Liu Pei say this, they immediately caused a slight commotion. Since Liu Pei gave up Xindao, Liu Pei has also informed everyone about the situation in Xindao. Everyone knows that the new island has been occupied by Zheng Zhilong. But what exactly the situation will look like, they don't know yet. However, if he can recapture the new island, it will definitely be a blow to Zheng Zhilong.

Liu Pei looked at everyone's eager faces and felt very satisfied. So he said: "Everyone knows that Xindao is occupied by Zheng Zhilong. But the purpose of our operation this time is not to retake the new island. Because our strength is much weaker than Zheng Yiguan's now, we can only rely on this kind of sea guerrilla warfare to fight Zheng Yiguan. If we reoccupy the new island, it will provide Zheng Yiguan with a target. It's bad for us. ”

"So our goal this time is to annihilate all the enemies on the new island as much as possible, and then evacuate the new island. If we run out of time, we'll also have to annihilate some of the enemies on the new island! The lowest objective is also to burn all the enemy's ships anchored on the new island! Now it is up to Luo Yan of the Intelligence Bureau to introduce the specific situation on Niijima. ”

When Luo Yan heard Liu Pei's words, she immediately stood up and saluted everyone. Then he said: "Below is Luo Yan of the Intelligence Bureau. Just returned from a reconnaissance on the new island. Let me give you an overview of the situation in Niijima. ”

In fact, Luo Yan has taken people to the island to investigate more than once. So he knows the situation on the new island very well. At that moment, he gave a detailed briefing to everyone present about what he had detected. In the end, Luo Yan said: "That's the specific situation. If you have any questions that you don't know when you're making a plan for a while, feel free to ask me. ”

After saying that, Luo Yan withdrew from the crowd and stood against the bulkhead. Like Luo Yan, who only provides information and does not participate in other styles, is passed down by Liu Jiang. Now there is a tradition in the Intelligence Bureau.

After getting the detailed information, the people in the cabin began to quickly outline the plan. Soon, a preliminary plan was formed. However, there are four difficulties that cannot be solved in the whole plan.

The first point is how to solve the turret? There were three heavy guns on the battery, and if they were hit by a ship, the losses would be heavy.

The second point is how to solve the problem of the sentinel ship outside the bay? Now it seems that it is impossible to deal with the sentinel ship silently. There's really no way to get tough.

The third point is how to solve the barracks on the dock. Now there are quite a few pirates stationed in the barracks. As soon as the sentinel ship or battery sounded the alarm, the pirates in the barracks would quickly board the ship. It's a hassle to capture or burn a ship! Maybe it's going to be a tough battle!

The fourth point is how to make the attack on the cottage? After Zheng Zhilong occupies the cottage, he will definitely strengthen his defenses. The hill is steep, and it is difficult to transport the cannon up. If you attack the cottage without the support of artillery, you will have to fill it with human lives!

Just when everyone was gossiping about these four difficult points, Liu Pei knocked on the table, stopped everyone's words, and said with a smile: "Luo Yan, you can lift the lid!" ”

Luo Yan stepped forward and said, "Of the four problems you raised just now, our intelligence bureau can solve two!" The other two are up to you to figure it out for yourself. ”

When the people in the room heard Luo Yan say this, they were a little unconvinced! Everyone thinks that your intelligence bureau is just a stealing department, how can it be possible to solve problems on the battlefield?

Luo Yan also seemed to see everyone's thoughts, he held his head high and said: "The first problem, which is the problem of the fort, is actually very easy to solve!" After evacuating the new island, our intelligence department placed a camouflaged rope on the cliff. Climb up the rope, and not far away is the battery. Every time we go to Shinjima to scout, we come in and out from here! I can personally bring someone up and touch the fort off! ”
