There was silence in the conference room, only Li Ying's voice echoed:

"If you meet the enemy, kill!

Escapees, kill!

If you don't save the dead, kill!

Greedy for life and afraid of the dead, kill!

Defectors, kill!

Delay the fighters, kill!

Those who disobey military orders, kill!

Leak the military aircraft, kill!

Whoever lies about the military will be killed!

Those who shake the hearts of the army, kill! ”

"Ten Kill Orders, Kill with a Knife!" Li Ying said coldly: "According to the regulations of the General Staff, the flagship has someone to record the performance of each ship in wartime, and at the same time, the officers of each ship supervise each other!" ”

Records on flagships were mainly recorded by personnel on masts and decks, but at that time, entertainment on the sea was basically by hand, communication was basically by roar (oh wrong, by flags), and the quality of communication depended on distance and weather. Even when the weather was still fine, sailors often mistyped and misread the signal. Can you tell the difference between intentional and unintentional misreading? No.

Therefore, according to the spirit of Yan Changwu's instructions, the General Staff Department established a very interesting supervision system, that is, the junior officers supervised the captain.

The captain's operational instructions became the official record of the ship, the logbook, and the senior officers had to record their own logbook every day, which they handed over to the staff as soon as they arrived at the dock.

If a captain is court-martialed for fault, the logbooks of the senior officers are compared with the captain's logbook in order to find evidence or clarify the facts.

The captain can command the senior officers on the ship, but he has no right to dismiss them (unless it is very conclusive evidence), let alone directly promote them, the military order states that all captaincy positions are decided by Yan Changwu, and the positions of senior officers are decided by the General Staff, but in the end Yan Changwu has to sign the order.

Yan Changwu spoke, and he first said to the civilian officials: "You have always been envious of the high salaries of the army, do you understand now?" ”

The civil officials replied: "Understood! ”

"This is what the soldiers paid for with their lives, and they deserve it, from now on, civilian officials should stop talking strange things about military attachés, what they say, I heard it, then I have to be sorry!" Yan Changwu understated the authenticity.

Then he turned to the military attachés and said: "This is really our first battle, only win, not defeat, if you want to win, the first is courage, and the brave will win when you meet on a narrow road!" ”

When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! When he said this, everyone was refreshed!

……

Storm, as chief of staff, called to the guards, "Bring it up!" ”

Carrying up was a map rack, and Storm pointed with his whip: "This is the Golden Gate!" Kinmen used to be the fortress of Ludao (located on Gulangyu Island), and the mainland side is Xiamen. ”

He passed the fourth level of Chinese (there is a certain suspicion of water release), and he uses Chinese official dialect and pronounces words clearly.

"Xu Xinsu and Yang Lu, who we want to attack, have been recruited by the Ming Dynasty (the southeast province calls the mainland the Ming Dynasty, not to mention the word imperial court, the essence of Yan Changwu's ambition is revealed, and the Ming Dynasty is in opposition to it), and their fleet is moored in Xiamen Port."

"Their military disposition is as follows, the officers and soldiers of the Egret Island Fortress have 6 24-pounder cannons, 12 12-pounder guns, and 20 6-pounder guns, which is a nuisance, but it is also the amount of a gunboat, and once they open fire, we will definitely return fire.

Another trouble is the defender of the Egret Island Fortress, Zhigao, this benevolent brother is one of the generals who participated in the recapture of Penghu, and may have a strong will to fight, so we have to be careful.

Xu Xinsu and Yang Lu's fleet consisted of fifty-two ships, and the larger one had three Chinese military ships (the fast Xiamen Tong'an ship type. The ship is 32 meters long, 7.1 meters wide, 3 meters deep, displacement 225 tons, deadweight 100 tons, 3 masts and 4 sails), two Chaozhou red-headed large sea ships (39 meters long, 13 meters wide, draft 2.5 meters. The main gun shell weighs 24 pounds and can be fired at a distance of 4-5 miles. Other ships include the water bow ship (also known as the double Peng boat, which is a medium-sized warship built in the area of Zhangzhou and Xiamen with a solid structure, flexible handling and fast driving. The boat is 20 meters long and 5.7 meters wide, and is made of pine and fir timber. The ship can also be used as an ocean-going cargo ship, and the boat's family lives on board, with sleeping cabins, which can be converted into a warship if needed. ), the boat (the boat is transformed from the net fishing boat, which belongs to the medium-sized sea ship built in southern Fujian, and is the main warship of the Ming Dynasty sailors. The length of the boat is 12-25 meters, and the width is 3.6-6.4 meters. ), bird boats, small sentinel boats, etc., their total strength is 3,000 people.

The Ming Dynasty sailors had hundreds of boats, under the command of the chief military officer Yu Zhigao, there were not many big ships, only a few, and the total number of troops that could be recruited was tens of thousands! ”

"Five days!" Storm gave a slap in the face and said: "The Overseer has sent someone to Xiamen to issue a war letter, denouncing the unrighteous deeds of Xu Xinsu and Yang Lu, condemning them, and agreeing to start a decisive battle between the two sides in Kinmen on the tenth day of the first month to settle the grievances of the rivers and lakes. ”

"The first strike group we dispatched this time consisted of Beigang No. 1, No. 2 and No. 4, plus six Kaohsiung high-speed ships, the second strike group consisted of three galleons and six Daifuku ships as gunboats, plus 32 water-bow ships and rushing boats, etc., and our operation was codenamed 'Operation to Punish Injustice'!"

The name of the "strike group" comes from Yan Changwu, and the action code name is also what he did, asking the staff to give each major operation a meaningful and heroic action code to encourage the morale of the army and comfort the families of the fallen soldiers, for example, he said: "When a sailor falls, his parents know that he fell in the thunder to break the enemy, I believe they will be very relieved!" ”

Since then, the Southeast Prefecture has always used some more decent code names to advertise its own justice and the legitimacy of its actions when carrying out major operations, and it has still received good results.

"Our plan is to lead the enemy out and try not to be an enemy of the Ming Dynasty, it is not suitable to start a war with the Ming Dynasty at present, but if they dare to shoot the first shot and fire the first shot, you are absolutely welcome!" Storm said proudly, not being a Ming Dynasty sailor at all.

The role of the Southeast Intelligence Bureau was revealed, and they collected a lot of enemy intelligence, so that the Southeast Fleet knew that their artillery was far superior to the Ming Dynasty.

"Our battle plan is to attack the enemy's fleet with the first strike group guns, keep firing the artillery, and wait until the enemy is defeated, and then use the second strike group to move forward." When Storm said this, many people laughed, especially Deng Tianyan, Yan Le, and Yan Dian, who had switched from infantry to marines. It's a good thing that the gunboats fire from a distance, and when the enemy is defeated, the marines don't have to suffer so many casualties, and they have combat exploits, how good.

They looked at their overseers and knew that he was "people-oriented" and would not easily kill or injure people, and the military ordered, "Don't send people where you can send guns." ”

Everyone is boasting about the true benevolence and righteousness of the overseers, and only high-ranking officials like Chen Xinji know that Yan Dashao is talking about "The soldiers who spent a lot of real money to train were hung up after a few uses, isn't it a great loss?" At least wait until you get back to basics! ”
