In November, when the northeast monsoon was relatively strong over the southern part of the East China Sea, the formation of Haijing ships reached the sea off Keelung on the morning of the 21st.

There were still two nautical miles from the mouth of Keelung Bay, and Chen Yu, who was on the flagship of the formation, saw through the telescope that the signal observation station on Sheliao Island had hung up a banner saying "welcome".

On the second day after the Ming Dynasty entered Keelung, he began to defend the sea, setting up a signal station on the hill of 100 meters from Sheliao Island, and an artillery position was also set up on the side of the signal station, on which two M119 105mm light howitzers were placed.

The radar of the signal observation station on Sheliao Island had already searched for the figure of the Haijing fleet, and the "Xuanwu" landing craft, which acted as a Jingjie ship and a pilot ship, was waiting at the mouth of Keelung Bay in advance.

During this time, the "Dinghai" and "Dunan" were mainly responsible for the transportation between Dunan Island and Keelung, and the defense of the Keelung Bay Sea was handled by two landing craft modified with gas engines.

The formation was preparing to enter Keelung Bay, and the northeast direction of the formation was constantly heard with the sound of "booming" artillery.

"Is there a situation?" The fighters of the third battalion, who were sitting in the cabin, immediately got up. After two days on the boat, although the soldiers were a little tired, they were all excited when they heard the sound of cannons.

McClain, the instructor of the third battalion, immediately beckoned everyone to relax, Keelung is building every day, and it is purely normal to open the mountain and fire guns. McClain said that, but his legs ran up.

He walked up to the slipway and saw Chen Yu sitting on the bridge, "Captain Chen, is there a situation?" ”

"Maijiao, it's okay! There is a situation signal station that has long been signaled. ”

As soon as Chen Yu's voice fell, he only heard "Bang bang!" Suddenly, several gunshots rang out directly north of the ship, and soon two cannons rang out in the harbor.

Chen Yu and McClain were a little suspicious, according to the direction, the gunfire should have come from the Lion Ball Ridge, and the gunfire was from the direction of Keelung Inner Harbor.

The shortwave radio soon came with the news from the command that the gunfire on the Lion Ball Ridge was a small force of Qing troops, and there was a platoon of troops on the Lion Ball Ridge, which could completely deal with it. The sound of artillery in the harbor is to clear the reef of the inner harbor, and the sound of artillery in the northeast direction is the reclamation project of Badouzi.

The port construction is under the responsibility of the port construction team of the infrastructure construction group led by Tang Peng and Li Hao, and there are many open reefs and reefs in Keelung Inner Harbor, and the blasting team is busy blasting and blasting the reefs. At present, the port construction team has built a 400-meter-long wooden wharf along the coast from Dashawan to Ershawan, which can fully meet the docking of "Dinghai", "Dunant", and many Haijing ships.

The Badouzi Strait is the site of the planned Keelung thermal power station, and there is a 70-meter-high hill on the south side of the strait. At the northern foot of Mount Keelung on the south side of the strait, 1,200 workers have been working hard here all night, and 12 transverse wells with a cross-sectional size of 1.4 meters wide and 1.7 meters high have been dug more than 80 meters to the south.

"One, two, three~~~"

Wearing a wicker hat and overalls full of muddy water, engine oil and stone powder, Inuichiro hid behind a low stone wall outside the wellhead and silently counted the number of cannons. When the sound of the cannon completely stopped, he immediately got up, "Quick! Hurry up, clean up the palm surface, pick up the ballast! ”

Inuichiro is the team leader responsible for the excavation of this guide, and Lin Dejia thinks that RI himself works very hard and is more responsible, so he chose a group of capable and well-behaved RI himself as the leader of the grassroots team.

At this time, the dust caused by blasting spreads on the working surface, and the entire guide is filled with dust and mist. The workers, all wearing three layers of masks and carrying tools, rushed into the guide with the dogs.

Yes, there is really such a revolutionary drive in the Taizu era!

Lin Dejia stood in front of the construction command post shed not far from here, and has been watching the work of the workers, she is very proud of her infrastructure construction team, the workers are not afraid of hardship, not afraid of dirty, not afraid of tiredness, it took only 15 days, almost to complete the set goal of 100 meters.

"Everything is fine here, you can definitely rest assured!" Panda had just checked the work of a few guides. Pan Da, a native of Nanning, Guangxi, is only 29 years old this year, and is a white-faced man with glasses. He worked as an engineer, and after retiring from the army, he worked as a project manager in Guangxi Tunnel Engineering Company, and tunnel excavation was his old job.

Panda had been in Shanghai for some time, busy working with the chemistry group to produce ammonium oil explosives needed to open the mountain. Two days ago, he delivered a batch of experimental products to Keelung, and then took over the construction task of opening mountains and reclamation. Panda had relatively little contact with Lin Dejia, and when he saw a female comrade pointing fingers in front of him, he was very unimpressed.

"What am I relieved of? Yesterday's fatal accident was a lesson in blood. "Lin Dejia has always been straightforward.

Yesterday, a squib appeared on the working face of the guide, and in the process of removing the squib, two workers were unfortunately killed.

Panda slandered, if it weren't for the fact that your command called us every day and chased us to speed up, how could such an accident happen. But he kept his face calm and didn't say anything.

Lin Dejia looked at the progress icons of the eighteen horizontal wells hanging on the walls of the shed, "Speed comes first, and safety must also be grasped. The transverse well has been almost dug up, and the next job is to dig out a few medicine chambers in the guide hole. Don't let any more accidents happen! ”

"We do not hesitate to pay attention to labor costs, do not pay attention to labor protection, and blindly speed up, which is also the requirement of the command." Pan Da pushed his glasses and couldn't help complaining, "According to the technical level of the 10th century, a reclamation project like this will take at least 60 days. ”

He picked up a few pieces of paper from the table. "Your blasting plan has no technical content at all, as long as a strip cave is large enough, filled with more explosives, and it is OK with a bang, even migrant workers can do it."

Lin Dejia said coldly, "What kind of explosion is 60 days?!" Careful calculations, safe construction, laying out the explosion point, and installing the electric detonation line, and then there was a shock under everyone's feet, almost no earth and rocks flew, and the whole mountain collapsed in the direction you needed. This kind of construction plan does take 60 days, and the technical content is also very high, and we are capable of doing it, but the command does not need it.

The command does not need to think about the size of the rocks after the explosion, the damage to the environment, and the impact on the safety of surrounding buildings and people. With just a few simple transverse wells, even if you pay attention to safe construction, 20 days is enough. ”

Lin Dejia has always been too lazy to argue with others, today Panda doubted her construction plan and her professional level, but she was angry, Ding is Ding Mao is Mao, this professional Dongdong, no one wants to be ambiguous in front of her.

"However, the effect of soil and rock splashing indicates that the blasting project is not qualified." Panda wanted to say something.

Lin Dejia waved his hand, "I know this, but the requirements of the command, one is to need speed, and the other is to need the effect of earth and rock splashing." We need speed, we need to build power plants earlier; We need a blast that will shatter the sky, and a big scene that will shock the people of Keelung. All work must be based on reality, and dogma must not be stubbornly followed. ”

fainted, this woman went around, ridiculing herself for reading books, too dogmatic. Pan Da was a little unconvinced, but he had nothing to say, after all, what Lin Dejia said was reasonable. In terms of professional and technical level alone, she is far inferior to her.

Lin Dejia said a few more words, and saw that Panda had become much more modest, so he relaxed a little. In the future, there will be more work to excavate in Taiwan, and if the person in charge is not calm enough, then he can only be replaced by someone to preside.

Lin Dejia wanted to stay in Badouzi for a while, but Wang Tiezhu called and asked her when she would go back, saying that the car had been dispatched.

Lin Dejia didn't know what was going on, she told Wang Tiezhu that she and Jing guards went down to the construction site with a bicycle by one, and the bicycle speed was not slow, so there was no need to send another car.

"There may be hostile activities in the near future, the bicycles are not safe, and the cars have already set off."

The gunfire on the Lion Ball Ridge has been more frequent recently, and Lin Dejia knows it. She put down the phone, a little suspicious, it was impossible for the Qing army to break through the Lion Ball Ridge, could it be that they rushed in from other routes?

At this time, a whistle sounded outside the window, and the soldiers in charge of the task of Badouzi Jingwei lined up neatly.

Badouzi is nearly five kilometers away from Anlan City, surrounded by mountains in addition to the sea, and it is very remote. The command arranged for a squad of fighters to guard the place.

Lin Dejia listened attentively, and the squad leader said a few words in front of the team, as if asking the soldiers if they had confidence, and the soldiers immediately roared, "Yes! ”

After the detachment was disbanded, several fighters went to the post with guns on their backs.

Seeing Lin Dejia walking out of the shed, the squad leader told her that in order to prevent Jiān from causing trouble and sabotage, the superior instructed to send additional sentry posts to take strict precautions.

Soon, a gas truck came to the Badouzi Shed from Anlan City via Anlan North Road and North Binhai Highway.

These two highways were newly built by the transportation construction team of the infrastructure construction group, and the seaside from the Bachimen Strait to the Badouzi Strait was originally just a seaside road, and the coast from Dashawan to Bachimen was once full of cliffs and reefs.

On the first day of entering Taiwan, Wang Qinian led the transportation construction team to survey the terrain and open up the mountains and fire artillery at the same time, widening the coastal road into a spacious gravel road -- the Northern Coastal Highway, and opening a coastal gravel road -- Anlan North Road -- on the coastal cliffs and reefs.

In addition to the driver, there were also two armed Jing guards in the cabin, and Lin Dejia threw the bicycle into the truck and sat in the cab.

The truck made a U-turn and headed back along the Northern Coastal Highway. When he was about to reach the eight-foot door, Lin Dejia took a look. On the other side of the sea is Sheliao Island, the southwestern edge of Sheliao Island is a planned school area, and a simple wooden pier has been built on the beach on the south side of Sheliao Island, and the school area is about to be fully constructed. In order to better connect Sheliao Island with the land and train the bridge-building team, the construction team planned a steel cable-stayed bridge on the 80-meter-wide Bachimen Strait - Sheliao Bridge.

At present, the bridge construction team is building an H-shaped tower on this side of the strait, the pile foundation of the main tower has just been built, and the concrete pump truck is pouring concrete into the improvised support. After the tower is built here, the tower on the opposite side will be built, and then the concrete beams and steel cables. Concrete beams are not much of a problem, mainly steel cables, but they can be replaced with thicker steel cables, which are wrapped in a layer of concrete. Lin Dejia thought to himself, building bridges is secondary, and training the team is the most important.

The truck drove past Anlan City. Anlan City is divided into two parts by the Anlan River, a large area of brick and tile houses on the north bank of the Anlan River has been built, and the area of Anlan North Road is divided into two parts, near the dock and beach side is the barracks of the Shuijing team, and the mountain is a residential area, where the infrastructure engineering regiment and army troops live.

The entire Anlan River has also been straightened and leveled by excavators, and hundreds of Keelung villagers are busy building the riverbank berm with stones.

The foundation of the south bank of the Anlan River has been excavated, and the reinforced concrete administrative area, library, auditorium, stadium and club will be successfully completed early next year.

After crossing the Anlan Bridge, the car stopped in front of the Ershawan Fort, which is now the location of the Keelung Construction Headquarters, where Qian Shuiting, Wang Tiehammer and other leaders of the Command and many cadres live.
