Chapter 401: Open the cannon

The vast sea. The blue ocean is endless.

Ten warships sailed mightily on the sea, moving quickly.

In the center of the fleet, on the flagship.

Li Zhen was dressed neatly in a military uniform and stood on the deck looking into the distance. He looked at the endless ocean with a solemn look on his face. After being silent for a long time, Li Zhen looked at Lu Shaochuan who was standing next to him and asked, "How long is it until Turi Island?" ”

Lu Shaochuan estimated it and said, "It will be there in half an hour." ”

Li Zhen nodded and waited quietly.

Half an hour passed, and ten warships appeared outside a small island.

Li Zhen stretched out his hand to take the binoculars and looked at the path.

There are no reefs or anything like that around Turi Island, it is flat, and there are four warships docked on the sea. As far as the eye can see, rows of Japanese soldiers are stationed at the port of the island. These Japanese soldiers wore helmets and swords at their waists, and held guns in their hands. Li Zhen used the telescope to look around, wondering what to do.

"Kill!"

Li Zhen roared loudly in his heart, and the murderous aura spread out irrepressibly, stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the four Japanese warships, and shouted in a deep voice: "Immediately open fire and sink the opponent's warship." ”

"Yes!"

Lu Shaochuan grinned, and Sen Bai's teeth flashed with a cold light.

"Pass the order down, I want to fire in the northwest direction!"

Lu Shaochuan gave an order, and the soldiers immediately gave the order. When the order was conveyed to the cabin where the cannons were placed in the middle of the ship, the soldiers who controlled the battery loaded the shells and aimed in the direction at the same time, and the muzzles of the ten ships were aimed at the four Japanese ships docked on the coast.

"Boom! Rumble!!! ”

The rumbling sound sounded abruptly on the sea, and the artillery fire was continuous.

Cannonballs whizzed out, cutting vague arcs across the sky. The distance between the two sides was less than 100 meters, and the speed of the shells was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye they fell on four Japanese warships. In an instant, a series of explosions were heard, and the four warships directly became a sea of fire, the hulls exploded, and the wood chips splashed, and they were already in chaos.

"Okay, that's refreshing, it's fucking refreshing."

Lu Shaochuan saw that the four Japanese warships were bombed to pieces, and he stroked his palms and laughed.

Li Zhen's eyes also flashed with joy, and he secretly clenched his fists.

Once again, he used his telescope to look at the shore of the port of Turi Island, and found that the Japanese soldiers in the port were indifferent and did not care about the bombing of the warships. Li Zhen chuckled in his heart, turned his gaze to the four Japanese warships docked on the shore and ignited a raging fire, and looked at them carefully.

With this observation, Li Zhen found that although the four warships were already raging in flames, there was no one on the sparse ship, and it was only one warship.

Seeing this situation, Li Zhen knew that the situation was not optimistic.

The battlefield should still be on the island.

Li Zhen secretly said in his heart that the Japanese were cunning, knowing that they were defeated at sea, so they decisively gave up the warship and chose to fight on land. Li Zhen's face sank, and he said seriously: "The four warships that were blown up are empty, and there is no little devil. Now concentrate your fire on the little devils stationed on the shore, defeat them all, and then land on Turi Island and prepare for battle. ”

The order was delivered, and a moment later there was a continuous artillery bombardment.

"Boom !!"

In the blink of an eye, the shore became a sea of fire.

When the artillery bombarded the shore, none of the Japanese soldiers stationed on the shore resisted, and they retreated in a swarm. Seeing this, Li Zhen's brows furrowed slightly.

The Japanese did not put up any resistance, so what conspiracy was there on the island?

This time the battle is not easy!

Huang Qiang stood next to him and interjected: "Dashuai, judging from the current situation, the Japanese have given up the warship and do not plan to garrison it on the shore. Their center of gravity should be on the island. Or maybe the pirates have taken control of the people of the island and want us to throw us into the trap. It is better to let the special forces of the Sharp Knife Battalion sneak into the island first to check the movements of the Japanese Bandits, and then let the army go out together. ”

Li Zhen nodded and said, "Log in first!" ”

With the little devil abandoning the port of Turi Island, the soldiers under Li Zhen's command have been able to land easily.

In half an hour, all the troops went ashore and were stationed.

Li Zhengang was about to lead the army into the island, but suddenly stopped, turned to look at Lu Shaochuan, and said in a deep voice: "The little devil put the main battlefield on the island, but he may not have no follow-up moves. Ten warships are our foundation, and we must pay attention to them. Lu Shaochuan, you send two battalions of soldiers to stay on the ship, and pay attention to the water ghosts to ensure the safety of the ten warships. We have to return to Canton by boat, and not a single ship can be destroyed. ”

When Lu Shaochuan heard this, he immediately became vigilant.

He nodded again and again and said, "What the big man said is too right, the little devil is cunning and cunning, and he must be guarded against." Lu Shaochuan immediately mobilized two battalions of soldiers to guard the ten warships docked on the shore. Not only were the ten warships defended by soldiers, but even Lu Shaochuan in the sea also arranged a secret whistle to prevent water ghosts from making trouble.

Huang Qiang saw that the rear was stable, and said again: "Marshal, I think the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion should go to the island first to find out the news." ”

Li Zhen nodded and said, "It's okay, you lead ten soldiers from the Sharp Knife Battalion to go." I only need to find out the news, I don't need to act, I will lead the army to follow. As soon as there was movement, you fired three shots in a row, and I led the army to catch up. ”

"Yes!"

Huang forcibly saluted and gathered ten soldiers to leave quickly.

Li Zhen led his troops forward slowly, not rushing quickly.

Huang Qiang advanced with ten soldiers from the Sharp Knife Battalion, carefully searching for ambushes laid by the little devils as he advanced. It's just that the road into the island is very smooth, there is no obstruction, and the shadow of the little devil is not seen. Huang Qiang asked the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion to knock on the door to inquire about the situation, but found that each house was empty and there was no one.

Half an hour later, Huang Qiang came to the center of the island with the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion.

It is a low-lying area, surrounded by hills, with a basin in the center, and you can see the houses dotted around, and the people who live on the island of Turi. Huang Qiang was worried about being discovered, so he cautiously approached the area where the people lived.

However, not a single person was found on the periphery.

Huang Qiang had a guess in his heart, it was probably the little devil who held all the people hostage.

When Huang Qiang found a commanding height, looked at the center of the basin from a high place, and finally found a dense crowd of people. There are old people, children, women and children, etc., all held hostage in the center of the village. There are a lot of people in the village, hundreds or thousands, and there are little devils with five short statures next to the people.

The little devils were fierce and vicious, some with long knives, some with spears, and surrounded the people.

Huang Qiang glared angrily, already angry.

This group of robbers is too inhumane. Huang Qiang also knew that now was not the time to be impulsive, so he immediately retreated with the ten soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion and returned to the main army.

Once the situation is clear, it will be much easier for the army to arrive.

ps: the second shift; This battle is just the beginning, and the next will be more exciting.
