Chapter 360: Jiaozhou Bay 2

Mobile reading

Back five hours ago, the sky was dark, but everywhere the eye could see was white. On the deck of the Port Vostok, more than a dozen heavily armed soldiers were checking each other's equipment, and they all had a pair of skis and walking sticks that had not been seen in any previous battle. Although it is said that it never snows in Annam and Dongfang Port, the ski training of the special investigation team has never been less, and this kind of training is scoffed at by many veterans, and they all call it the skill of slaying dragons, but this kind of dragon-slaying skill comes in handy today.

In addition to the dinghy, there are two bizarrely large rafts stacked on the deck, the main purpose of which is to combine with skis and allow people to stand on them and paddle forward with long oars. Now Jiaozhou Bay has been completely frozen, and it is not suitable for a large cargo ship like the Oriental Port to be too close to the coast, once the ice is in danger, for these inexperienced new sailors on the Oriental Port, it is impossible to guarantee another Titanic. For the sake of safety, the soldiers of the special reconnaissance team must first board the ice sheet in the area close to the coastal ice floe, and then go ashore to find out the situation on the way forward, and at the same time notify the Wu Dynasty garrison on the shore to prevent the garrison from lighting wolf smoke and allowing the local residents to escape in the cold, causing casualties and unnecessary losses.

With the assistance of the crane, the two-footed raft was first lowered into the water, and then Lan Xiaoya climbed down on the rope net, stood on the raft and put it on, and then began to put the backpack and semi-automatic rifle on his back, untied the tied sculls from the raft and began to paddle in the seawater. He was followed by a small lifeboat lowered by a crane, on which sat ten heavily armed special investigators, all with wooden oars in their hands, carefully gliding through the water. Originally, according to the plan, they were going to take a human-powered boat, but in such sea conditions, if the human-powered boat encountered an ice floe, it was likely to cause mechanical damage and other unforeseen circumstances, and they might have to wait for others to rescue them in the sea, so after discussion, it was decided to use a lifeboat to paddle forward.

Lan Xiaoya carefully paddled in front to explore the way, and the small boat behind followed unhurriedly, and after about five hundred meters of advancement, they reached the real ice cap, where the ice thickness had reached sixty centimeters. Although this thickness is fatal to a vehicle, a person can already walk on it. Here, the soldiers of the Special Reconnaissance Team climbed up the ice and began to walk towards the little bit of a campfire flickering in the distance to the north. The ice was covered with a thick layer of dry snow, and the special investigators were sliding quickly on the snow with fixed skis under their feet.

The cold wind blew fiercely, and even the cold suits worn by the special investigators still saw through the gaps they hadn't noticed, making them shiver with cold. In addition to wearing one-piece winter suits, they also wore cold masks, which completely covered their entire faces, leaving only their eyes and mouth leaking out. At the location of the eyes, the special reconnaissance team was also specially issued with goggles to prevent the cold wind blowing directly on the eyes during the battle and march, which could cause the observation to be missed. But no one expected that these goggles would make them quite disturbed, because the human body is warm and will evaporate water vapor outward, and the goggles are directly exposed to the cold wind, so the inside of their goggles is constantly fogging, and they have to stop to clean the water vapor on the goggles every time they advance a short distance.

Still, after every short distance they advanced, they would use their alloy Luoyang shovel to punch holes in the ice sheet beneath their feet, observe the thickness of the ice, and determine how far they could get the rhino transporter loaded on the ship to move normally. Although the rhinoceros transporter is an amphibious transport vehicle, it is still very dangerous if the ice breaks suddenly during the driving process, and even if there is no danger, if the materials carried fall under the ice, they will not be able to catch it.

For most of the special investigators, they have been living in Annam since they were born, and they only feel cold in winter at most, but it is the first time that even the sea water is frozen like this, and several special investigators even build snowmen and rub snowballs next to them when everyone is punching, and even the icicles that are taken out are waved by the childlike team members after being measured and recorded.

"Alright, alright! Almost, keep moving forward," Yang Muqin waved his hand to stop the soldiers' snowball fight, broke off a snowball with a small size from his head, smiled helplessly in his hand, and then threw the snowball to the position where he had just punched the hole, blocking the hole, "The thickness of the ice sheet has reached one and a half meters now, and it is about fifty meters ahead to reach a safe thickness." ”

Although the soldiers were having fun in the snow, they were soldiers after all, and when they heard the order, they threw away the snowballs and began to continue sliding towards the shore under the leadership of Lan Xiaoya. Against a white background, a small group of people dressed in white winter suits and hats would not attract any attention at all, the wind blowing their cloaks, hunting and fluttering as they glided quickly, blowing the snow dust that was blown up everywhere by the wind.

After a while, they stopped again, and Lan Xiaoya vigorously swept away the snow on the ground, revealing the ice, and motioned for the soldiers to punch holes here. "Captain, the sand has already hit down here, and it's already on the shore!" It didn't take long for the punching soldiers to pull out an icicle, which was more than two meters long, but there was already sand underneath, and it seemed that it was not far from the beach.

"Well, there are sand and shells," Yang Muqin looked at the bottom of the icicle, "Okay, place signal flags here, be careful not to be blown away by the wind." ”

"Yes, Captain!" Several soldiers untied their backpacks, took out a small tripod from it, and then placed it on the ground, then took out an iron pillar, fixed it in the position of the column, and poked the lower end directly into the ice hole just made, and then installed an iron lump with several blades on the upper end of the iron pillar, and after a busy time, the equipment was installed. This is a mercury lamp signal transmitter that uses electricity as the driving force, using battery power, this kind of earthen battery has a large internal resistance and low electric capacity, but it does not affect the technical department's enthusiasm for its improvement, the length of the column is about two meters, and a wind turbine is installed at the top, and the signal transmitter and battery are the same, these are "high-tech products" produced in Dongfang Port, although the power generation efficiency is not high, but for the wind power that has now reached about level five, the power generation is enough. In addition, the hole that has just been punched will soon freeze again, so the iron rod that has been poked into the ice hole will be firmly fixed to the ice sheet to ensure that it will not be blown down by the strong wind.

"Look! Light Signal! "The special investigator in charge of observation made a cheerful cry in the observation room of the Oriental Port, and the white snow in the distance suddenly began to glow, at first it was chaotic, but soon it became a rhythmic light language, and the signalman hurriedly read while busy recording the signals sent from the snow on the recording paper." The landing was completed, but the landing site was not suitable for landing, the thickness of the ice was only about fifty centimeters, and at the place where the lights were located, the ice was up to two meters, but sand was already visible. Now we will continue to move in the direction of the shore, and the special investigation team Yang Muqin has finished reporting. ”

Sun Yuanqiu's back technique is the back finger of the Yang Technique

Maruyama took this information and read it carefully several times, but he could not understand the meaning, he was in fact unqualified as the chief of the general staff, but his efforts after taking up this position were obvious to all, so most of the elders were quite tolerant of him. Hong Jie walked over and took the record paper, read it and explained, "The weight of the rhinoceros transport truck on our ship is quite large, and it is fine to go ashore, but if the ice situation can easily cause the ice sheet to crush and capsize, causing casualties and material losses, we will have to drive the ship to the place where the light signal is emitted to allow the rhinoceros to land." ”

"But it's all frozen, isn't it impossible for our Oriental Port to come close?" Maruyama said with some curiosity, "I remember you told me that the water is so hard that when it hits the hull, it will cause heavy damage, and the distance from the place where the special reconnaissance team landed to the place where there is a light signal is at least fifteen hundred meters, and this distance is all frozen, can we crash into it?" Or wait until the sea thaws before going over and unloading? ”

The enemy is far from being alone, hating the moon and the moon

With the assistance of the crane, the two-footed raft was first lowered into the water, and then Lan Xiaoya climbed down on the rope net, stood on the raft and put it on, and then began to put the backpack and semi-automatic rifle on his back, untied the tied sculls from the raft and began to paddle in the sea. He was followed by a small lifeboat lowered by a crane, on which sat ten heavily armed special investigators, all with wooden oars in their hands, carefully gliding through the water. Originally, according to the plan, they were going to take a human-powered boat, but in such sea conditions, if the human-powered boat encountered an ice floe, it was likely to cause mechanical damage and other unforeseen circumstances, and they might have to wait for others to rescue them in the sea, so after discussion, it was decided to use a lifeboat to paddle forward.

"It's okay, we have icebreaking equipment," Hong Jie explained, "Icebreaking this kind of thing, first of all, you can use artificial icebreaking, at the landing site to the light signal about 500 meters should not exceed 80 centimeters of ice thickness, although it is windy tonight, but there is a moon and stars, indicating that the sun will come out tomorrow, tomorrow morning we will first lay a prototype of a channel with coal at this distance, and then use people to dig at a distance of 500 meters to 1,000 meters, and then forward, you can directly use TNT to drill and blast, Once the channel has been blown out, our personnel need to manually push the ice floes out and prevent it from freezing again. ”

"You're talking about a distance of five hundred meters to a thousand meters, so what about the distance from the landing site to five hundred meters? Just lay it out with coal? Can coal heat up without ignition? Maruyama's curiosity suddenly popped up, but Hong Jie shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's okay, there is a way for this distance, you will know when the time comes, the mountain people have their own tricks!" ”

At the same time, Yang Muqin had already led the soldiers to a pier platform, the top of the pier was flickering, and it was obvious that someone was on duty in the pier, but the gate was closed, and all the windows were blocked by wooden planks and dead grass, and there was no sound at all. They came to the door and smashed the door with the butt of their guns for a while, and then someone opened it, and the door was opened by a man in his forties, but after opening the door, the group of people at the door who couldn't even see their faces clearly stood in front of them, and they were all dressed in white clothes, white pants and white hats, only showing two eyes and mouths, looking almost like a group of mountain ghosts, and immediately frightened the person who opened the door into a scream and retreated, and after being tripped by the door and falling to the ground, he climbed towards the pier platform with his hands and feet, and did not even close the door.

"Who!" "Close the door!" "The cold wind is in!" There was a shouting on the pier, and then the frightened man climbed up, but he was so frightened that he babbled and couldn't speak at all. Yang Muqin and the others were also blown cold by the wind outside, so they hurriedly walked into the pier, closed the door and blocked it. I just closed the door, but I could hear a scream from the staircase again, and when I turned my head to see that it was a few people who didn't know what was going on below, I happened to see a group of people in white clothes and white armor closing the door below, and suddenly someone shouted, "Ghost-"

At this time, the pier platform shouted and screamed like a nest, and several piers were so frightened as if they had seen a ghost that their souls did not possess their bodies, crawling and running, if it were not for the windows of the pier platform to be sealed, I am afraid that they would all jump down one by one. The pier chief obviously has more knowledge, trembling and crawling to Yang Muqin and others to kneel down respectfully and kowtow again and again, and there are words in Shandong official dialect, "Immortals, there are unjust debts and masters, we are just a small dun ding in this pier, and we have not killed innocents indiscriminately on weekdays, and we have not even killed chickens, we are not the ones who want to ask for your life!" Raise your hand! ”

"What kind of fairy ghost?" Yang Muqin couldn't help but be a little speechless, and shouted loudly, "We are from the south, and we are going to Shanxi to quell the rebellion, and you should not be afraid of the shore here!" ”

"What? From the South? Counterinsurgency? The chief couldn't help but be in a daze for a while, and he babbled several times in his mouth, and then roared, "Give me silence!" He hurriedly stood up and took a few steps forward to take a closer look, although these people were white all over their bodies, but they could see their eyes clearly, and at the same time there were shadows under the firelight, so they were sure that they were not ghosts, since they were not fatal, his courage suddenly strengthened a lot, and he hurriedly asked, "You are the guest army from Annan Province, right?" Why is this time coming? How many people came? Have you eaten? As he spoke, he shouted to a few dunding who were still shaking behind him, "You cowards, these are brothers, not ghosts!" Come and take them up to the fire to see if there are more steamed buns? ”

"No, no, no, where are we now? Is it the former place of the floating mountain? Yang Muqin hurriedly asked, the chief was stunned, "No! This is Lingshanwei, and the front of Fushan is still in the northeast, on the other side of the bay, and there are more than ten miles of land! ”
