On the foredeck, sailor Li Zhixian was taking Hou Wen, Lu Haisheng, Ma Xiaoyang and other three trainee sailors, holding a rust hammer to beat rust.

Tanker rust is one of the daily tasks of the sailors in the deck department. Because rust knocking is the least technical, but the hardest, most tiring of all sailors' subjects, especially in the summer, when you can sweat after a short time on the deck in the heat waves, let alone squat there. So if an intern comes, then most of this work is done by interns, and Hou Wen is still the first time to go to sea, so Li Zhixian will lead the team to teach while doing.

"Don't use brute force, knock slowly, don't consume too much physical strength." Li Zhixian raised the rust hammer in his hand and demonstrated, the handle of the rust hammer is designed to be anti-shock, and the tail end of the iron handle is wrapped with a spring, which requires a certain amount of skill when using it.

Until the whole rust spot was knocked out of white, Li Zhixian taught them to use a shovel to shovel the paint layer around the white into a slope shape, which is conducive to painting.

Hou Wen, a man from Zhoushan, Zhejiang, who was a little thin, straightened up, wiped his sweat, took off the white-threaded gloves that were already a little blackened, and whined his waist and complained: "Oh, damn it, this job is really not done by people, my back is sore and my legs hurt, so I might as well go ashore to fight." ”

Although it was cloudy and the sun was not so hot, it was still very hot on deck.

"You monkey, your face is yellow and thin, what kind of waist do you pound at a young age, a few less strokes at night, beware of **** hehe." Ma Xiaoyang, a burly, broad-shouldered and round-waisted man from Huludao in Northeast China, nicknamed "Dog Bear", laughed sadly when he saw this scene.

"you bear, sir, I'm a southerner, who is like you with rough skin and thick flesh, a veritable bear." Hou Wen pouted and fought back.

This brother has the most iron relationship, lives in the same cabin, usually eats together, sleeps together, plays games together, and of course often fights with each other, but the more they fight, the more affectionate they become, and they do everything together.

"Hey......! It is said to be an internship, but it is actually coolie. One day, I must go to Captain Lin to apply, go ashore to fight, I have been training for so long, and good steel has to be used on the blade. Lu Haisheng, a native of Yantai, Shandong, shoveled the rust with a shovel, and sighed and said, among the three, he was the most sincere and worked hardest.

When he was in Temasek's military training, Lu Haisheng had the best training performance and was praised by Lin Xiao, and after the military training, they each received an assault rifle as an escort force for the two large ships. But now seeing that the big ship is not dangerous at all, Lu Haisheng has always been worried that his new gun has no chance to be used.

"Pull it down, I won't go," Ma Xiaoyang waved his hand and said disapprovingly:

"What's the point of doing the Army? The mountain road runs to the death or the life, how can there be a navy comfortable. If you get a captain to be the captain, it is called spirit, and you don't have to walk, you can chop the waves and gallop the ocean. If you meet a pirate, you will give an order, and ten thousand cannons will be fired in unison, and he will be hung in the sky! ”

"Hahaha, Captain? You're a pretty bear. Hou Wen couldn't help but point to the bear with one hand and hold his belly with the other.

"It's not beautiful, you just look at it when the time comes."

"If you want me to say, that's possible." Lu Haisheng interjected: "Didn't I hear that Captain Lin is going to help Captain Chen create a navy?" The 'Unicorn' was the first warship. ”

"You think, the navy in this era of sails is not just one or two ships, it takes dozens or hundreds of warships, what is it to be a captain when the time comes, if you want to be the commander of the fleet!"

"By the way, how many of us seafarers are there? When the time comes, it will not be enough to divide each person into a boat. Hou Wen suddenly realized.

"Look, we'll all be captains soon. But you can't be a monkey, and I don't look at your body, and I don't look like a ship. Ma Xiaoyang said with a smile.

"Are you okay? With the weight of your bear of 250 pounds, as soon as you jumped on the boat, the boat was crushed and sunk by you, and you had a fart fight. Hahaha! ”

"You're only two hundred and five, and your whole family is two hundred and five!"

……

"Little ones! It's time to eat, call it a day! In the distance behind him, Li Zhixian shouted.

……

On the shore, in the center of the newly erected camp, a square tent is Lin Xiao's temporary command post.

Lin Xiao was not there, and the checkout went. In front of a simple table, Xiao Kaifeng and Li Tao were looking down at the map.

Lin Xiao's first order after landing ashore was to select five smart and capable soldiers from each team to form eight groups of scouts, disguised in all directions, and reconnoiter the enemy's situation and road conditions.

In this era, information is not smooth, and although the officers and soldiers under his command are strong, the number is too small, and they are most afraid of being ambushed. Therefore, Lin Xiao attaches great importance to the role of scouts. In the future, when there are more people, a scout unit must be formed.

After a busy afternoon, when it was getting late, the walls of the wooden fence had been built and the baggage materials had been moved.

The camp is set up with two gates in the north and south, a barricade is set up outside the gate, a drainage ditch is dug along the fence, and watchtowers have been erected at the four corners of the camp, and each team takes turns to organize sentry posts and patrol along the fence.

The first foothold of the Old Port Camp in Vietnam was completed.

After checking the sentry, Lin Xiao and Li Tao and Xiao Kaifeng muttered in front of the map.

Lin Xiao has a habit of being alone and concentrating on important issues, so when he was in the army, every time he formulated a plan of action by his hands, he was always known for his meticulous thinking.

Just now, under the pretext of checking the sentry, I guess I was thinking about the problem while walking alone.

After a few people muttered for a while, Lin Xiao ordered the meal to be served.

Today's lunch is dry food, dinner can be buried in the pot to make rice, and the dishes are very rich, although the vegetables are a little less, but there is a fragrant braised beef.

The cold storage of the "Longsheng" has frozen beef, and it is convenient to send pirate boats to the big ships to pull some every day.

After the meal, Lin Xiao gave the second order: hurry up and rest, and take action in the middle of the night!

……

At 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, Lin Xiao ordered: Let's go!

The six teams of officers and soldiers, each led by their commanders, took advantage of the moonlight to go all the way north.

The two squads left behind, led by Zhu Yujia and Xia Bomin respectively, guarded the camp.
