Lu Wei walked and looked, inadvertently approached the sentry of the Qing army, two sentries were napping, one of the saliva was left on the rifle in his arms, Lu Wei and another team member shot at the same time, with a hand knife to solve the two sentries in the deck aisle, Lu Wei picked up the Qing army's rifle and saw that it was an unseen model, and the workmanship was very similar to British goods! As soon as I opened the chamber of the gun, I found that it was all butter? Can't launch at all? At this moment, as soon as the alert Lu Wei raised his head, a Qing army officer with a top on his head leaned out and shouted, "Who is it?" ”

Without waiting for Lu Wei to react, then the Qing army officer seemed to have been attacked, and after waiting for about half a minute, the hatch of the outer deck slowly opened, and a soldier with a red ribbon around his neck inside said: "The lower half is the officer's dormitory area, and the next four floors to the left are the ammunition depot, how many people have you come in total?" ”

Lu Wei looked around and said: "Ten of us are the vanguard, and there are five hundred people behind, tell your brothers that we must tie the red ribbon after our own people come in, try not to participate in the battle under the cabin, leave professional things to professional people to do, and after seizing control, it will depend on you to fight!" ”

Because the Jurong Island Pier is about two kilometers away from the town, without firing a gun, the town can be said to be unaware of the problem in the direction of the pier, because Jurong Island is just an island with a small usable area, and the later Jurong Island Industrial Zone is built by the Singapore political axe for more than ten years to transform the terrain of the whole island, and the current Jurong Island is just an island with a natural deep-water port that the British can use. Therefore, the British will not worry about what earth-shattering things will happen to the Chinese coolies on the island!

The British side received information that the Chinese Imperial Fleet might have an accident on the way to Singapore, and the fleet turned to the direction of the Indochina Peninsula, so the British were very proud to provide this information to Tang Jiayao, so that everyone in the entire ship formation could completely relax their nerve core vigilance, it can be said that Lin Haijiang's fake tactical maneuver deceived the ears and eyes of the British, sailing west at an economic speed of ten knots during the day and returning at a speed of twelve knots at night.

After a short sentry operation, the commandos who soon infiltrated the dock were all under control of dozens of scattered British soldiers around the dock, and the Qing army sentries on the outer decks of the three warships, Haidongqing, Nanyuan, and Changfu, had been controlled by the rebel soldiers and commandos.

This is not the first time that the Chinese Imperial Special Forces Commando has successfully captured a ship, it can be said that the most favorite of these commandos taught by later concepts and training methods is challenging actions, such as turning the enemy's warship into our captured trophies, or going deep into the enemy's territory to wreak havoc, assassination, kidnapping, etc.

The battle to seize control of the battleship was carried out quietly, and most of the Qing troops chose to silently raise their hands, honestly being guarded in a cabin, and no one knew what was going on? I don't know where those guys who are dressed in black and hold short guns, and even have black faces, come from?

When the Baturu and Zhefeng were cruising and meeting, Li Weiguo and Xi Xun almost unanimously looked at their watches, and then at the opposing warships that had seriously violated the Navy's principle of controlling lights at night and the principle of engagement, and successively issued orders to slow down and slow down.

Li Weiguo's face was full of excitement, he took out a red silk scarf from his arms with a trembling hand and tied it around his neck, threw the top that represented his future career at his feet, pulled out the command knife violently, pulled the braid that he hated so much, cut the braid and handed the knife to his right hand, and then Li Weiguo pulled out a pistol and said: "Action!" ”

On the Baturu and Zhefeng, the rebel officers and soldiers and the hidden agents in it began to arrest the eagle dogs of the Qing court by the plan with weapons in hand, and the actions on the Baturu and Zhefeng can be said to be unusually smooth, in fact, whether it is Li Weiguo or Xi Xun, they are very happy, because they have been excluded to make tonight's operation so smooth, the Qing court has indeed put in a lot of effort, if the Qing court can really implement the plan formulated above, then I am afraid that the dawn operation will die a long time ago.

A declining dynasty, a rotten mechanism, what can a group of corrupt officials do together? Even if they are given good policies to do good things, they can still make the people live poorly, this is not a problem of policy, but a problem of the executor, with such opponents Li Weiguo and Xi Xun really don't know whether they should feel happy or sad?

Lin Haijiang took the Hainan as the strategic decision-maker of the Chinese Imperial Navy's operation, and directly participated in the operation, and Jurong Island was not far away according to the calculation of the coordinates and directions of the sea chart, can Lu Wei's capture of the ship succeed? How many of the five warships could be captured, and if there was an exchange of fire between the two sides, would it be necessary for the main fleet of the empire to fire directly at the British-flagged Qing warships in Singapore?

It can be said that Lin Haijiang has a lot of questions and worries, and in this era of extremely underdeveloped communications and information, the only thing Lin Haijiang can do is to constantly urge the strategic and tactical staff officers of the General Staff Headquarters to formulate plans and plans tailored to local conditions. After working hard for a while, Lin Haijiang realized that many things really have talent, and Lin Haijiang understands very well the truth that he can't reach quickly, and he can only try to use practice as the only criterion to test the fact of ability after perfecting his strength and learning.

Soon, two battleships full of red ship lights appeared on the sea level under the dark night, the fluttering lights pulled up an arc in the telescope, it can be said that basically nothing can be seen, a bright moon in the sky seems to be able to help, under the bright moonlight of the Chinese Imperial Navy all began to accelerate, the target is directly in the direction of Jurong Island.

The armed control of the Haidongqing, Nanyuan, and Changfu ships was carried out under the leadership of the rebel officers and soldiers of their own ships and the Imperial Intelligence Headquarters, and it can be said that they were completely familiar with the road, but the light weapons arsenal on each warship was controlled by the so-called own people brought by the superintendent without exception, and most of these people were full, especially when the battleship docked, even if the sentry on duty at night only gave three bullets in the breech, the fundamental purpose was to prevent the sailors on the ship from making trouble.

The three ships Haidongqing, Nanyuan, and Changfu are different from the two ships Baturu and Zhefeng, because Baturu and Zhefeng are responsible for the cruising mission, so the security of the arsenal is relatively relaxed.

However, among the three ships of Haidongqing, Nanyuan, and Changfu, in the process of seizing the arsenal, only the Haidongqing under the personal command of Lu Wei took place in a large-scale fierce battle, from the assault team began to board the ship, the battleship began to prepare for boiler pressurization, to clean the deck and cabin one by one, and finally in the small arms arsenal on the negative three floors, the commando team commanded by Lu Wei encountered the stubborn resistance of more than 20 people in the arsenal, and a large number of pistols in the arsenal were fired in turns, coupled with its two consecutive locked hatches without cover, and attacked three times. The bodies of the more than thirty commandos who died almost blocked the passage.

Lu Wei's eyes were red, and several machine guns shot inside like crazy, and Lu Wei summoned a few rebel soldiers to ask why there were more than 20 people in the arsenal of no more than five people resisting? It turned out that the Beiyang military regulations were to cut off their hands when gambling on the ship, but most of the Manchurians only took this as a joke, and every time the officials met them, they would smile and confiscate all the gambling funds, and the small arms arsenal became a den for them.

The casualties of the assault were too great, and he couldn't let such a huge hidden danger go unchecked, so in a hurry, the rebellious sailor Zhao Guangkai gave Lu Wei an idea to close all the cabins from minus four to minus three and fill them with water, drowning these turtle bastards.

Lu Wei decided to immediately adopt Zhao Guangkai's suggestion, and closed all the cabins from minus four to minus three for water injection, and as soon as the water injection operation was prepared, the Qing army inside could not withstand the pressure and shouted to abandon their weapons and surrender!

Lu Wei saw that all the ships had begun to leave the port, so he immediately took the lead in lighting up the red light signal on the Haidongqing, and then the Nanyuan and Changfu also lit the signal lights one after another, reflecting each other with the Baturu and Zhefeng cruising outside the port.

Xia Xue, who was standing on the bridge of the Hainan, confirmed that the five battleships leaving the harbor had all turned on red lights, so she excitedly reported to Lin Haijiang: "Report to the Führer, the five battleships that sailed out of the harbor are all lighting up the code signal lights, and are approaching the right flank of our battle line, with a speed of ten knots to the left. ”

Lin Haijiang nodded and said: "Except for the receiving ship that lights up, the rest of the ships are on alert, and the port side of the gun is on standby!" ”

Xia Xue was stunned for Lin Haijiang's order, in addition to the imperial warships, there were only five warships left for this uprising, who was the port side guarding against? Or to whom to be warned? Could the Führer be too careful? Xia Xue had a lot of questions, but the order was still an order, and it was faithfully executed.

In the face of such a classic and brilliant victory, Lin Haijiang's smile couldn't help but appear on his face, with the calculation of whether it was right or not, and the probability of success of this operation was only less than four layers according to the theory of the General Staff, and the so-called success only referred to the complete capture of two warships of the Qing court and the sinking of three as the standard, and the General Staff did not make any inference about the capture of all five ships, because the possible surname of this inference was almost less than or equal to zero, and it could even be ignored.

After the relevant sailors of the Imperial Navy were sent to board the ship through the small boat, Lin Haijiang's heart was really relaxed, he knew that this was another world naval history, and it was a miracle in the history of special forces. This is an action that is no less than a myth in the eyes of later generations, before Lin Haijiang was still complaining that there would always be a few days of error in the statute of limitations of communication, and now it seems that it is precisely the error of the statute of limitations of this communication that has helped him a lot, because of the intelligence of the British, so the Qing army dared to completely relax its vigilance.

In Lin Haijiang's view, this is a meaningless action, which is tantamount to stimulating or provoking the bottom line of the British, so Lin Haijiang only issued an order to return to Guangzhou Port to meet the marines and reorganize the fleet to replenish personnel, because the main force of the reorganized Chinese Imperial Fleet will go to meet the seven warships purchased from the Russians in Beiyang.

Lin Haijiang didn't expect that his wrong decision would cause a major change in the subsequent strategic decisive battle arrangement!

Although the tonnage of the warships purchased by the Russians in Beiyang is uneven, and the quality of the ships is not as good as that made in Britain and Prussia, who in the navy would dislike having too many surface combat ships? Maybe at the same time as the defeat and annihilation, how many ships can be captured by yourself? Lin Haijiang looked out the window of the ship at the five brand-new British-made Spear-class armored protection cruisers, and an optimistic mood began to affect Lin Haijiang.

Lin Haijiang found that he seemed to be too cautious and pessimistic before? The enemy may seem very strong, but he is definitely not a meat bun? If it is robbery to get rich, what else in the world can rob faster than robbing a battleship? In addition to the necessary familiarity, these five British battleships could quickly show their real combat effectiveness.

Looking at the huge fleet of the Chinese Empire on the sea, Lin Haijiang suddenly found that the names of all the ships seemed to be a little incongruous? Zhenyuan, Dingyuan? Fu A, Fu B? Blitz 01, Blitz 02? Indochina Peninsula, Hainan? The Chinese Empire already had twenty-eight warships, the speed of these warships, the caliber of the main guns, and even the production countries were different, Lin Haijiang decided to replace all the warships, and organized the Imperial Navy into three sub-fleets, the first main fleet of eight armored protection cruisers of more than 6,000 tons, as the main force of the decisive battle on the ocean, and the second main fleet of ten armored protection cruisers of more than 5,000 tons with a higher speed, as interspersed with maneuvering, and the remaining ten warships were all incorporated into the third main fleet, It was used as a countermeasure to cover the first main fleet.

It can be said that Lin Haijiang's intentions are very obvious, although Lin Haijiang is full of confidence at the moment, but full confidence is not the same as blind arrogance, Lin Haijiang is making corresponding active preparations for a large-scale naval battle that may break out in the near future, which is also the only way for the imperial navy to embark on regularization and specialization.

As soon as the fleet arrived in Guangzhou, Lin Haijiang immediately awarded and promoted the relevant personnel of this dawn operation, because there were only three days to prepare, so the whole ceremony was simple and extremely solemn, in Lin Haijiang's view, the honor of soldiers comes from the life and blood of their comrades, if this kind of ceremony is held like a party, it is the greatest desecration of this honor!

After the award ceremony, Lin Haijiang immediately summoned Li Anmin, Jia Wuji, Tang Zhiqiang, Ma Jiang, Yang Tianhua, Feng Guohua, and even the captains of the two battleships, Zhan Yang and Xia Xue, summoned the head of state to discuss the political axe, Lin Haijiang proposed a plan to redivide the imperial naval fleet, Li Anmin, who had already been instructed to formulate the relevant plan, cleared his throat, looked around and said: "Everyone, according to the order of the Führer, the Military Command Department of the General Staff has for the thirty warships existing in the empire, except for the two special training ships for naval cadets, The remaining 28 warships were regrouped and their numbers were reformulated. ”

In addition to the Vice Admiral Li Haibo in the Imperial Fortress, the commanders and chiefs of staff of the navy's detachments have all arrived, and if nothing else, after Li Haibo is promoted to the Minister of Navy, there may be a deputy chief and chief of staff among him, so the participants are very excited.

However, in the eyes of Tang Zhiqiang, Ma Jiang, Yang Tianhua, Feng Guohua and even Jia Wuji, the couple of Zhanyang and Xia Xue seems to be a little eye-catching, and the rank of lieutenant colonel seems to be a little out of place in this group of colonels and even major generals, but Tang Zhiqiang, Jia Wuji and others still think that their identities will not be too obvious, obviously Xia Xue will not be able to enter the future Admiralty at all, and even if she does, she will definitely not be the vice minister of the Admiralty, because the honorary head of the female captain is under a lot of pressure.

But Zhanyang is different, they are also the new generation of international students, and they are also a new type of captain who graduated with the first place in theory and practice, commanding the largest tonnage surface combat ship of the Imperial Navy, and it is also the most expensive warship, such a young talent may not be able to think of it, so everyone invariably puts Zhanyang in the position of a competitor.

On the other hand, Zhanyang is calm and calm, and smiles with Xia Xue from time to time, all of this Lin Haijiang sees in his eyes, Zhanyang has nothing to ask for, so his heart is the broadest, with such a leader can handle official affairs fairly, justly, and openly, Lin Haijiang thinks that he can't do this, and he definitely doesn't have such a good attitude, maybe Zhanyang commanding a warship is a bit condescending? I should give him more opportunities to get exercise, maybe Zhanyang will also have unique views on government affairs, if after the reunification of China, it is not impossible to add a deputy head of state who will share the power for himself and transfer to the people.

Suddenly, Lin Haijiang found that he seemed to be 108,000 miles away from the topic, China was still torn apart, and the people were still living in dire straits. What's wrong with you lately? Lin Haijiang took a deep breath and hesitated, it is really imperative to cultivate the so-called deputy head of state, otherwise once he has an accident, the huge Chinese empire is likely to fall into the hands of careerists, then the history of China's semi-feudal and semi-colonial may be extended, and the war will continue.

Although he is also a careerist in the eyes of others, Lin Haijiang knows what he needs in the end and what he wants to do? Whether you can give up the power you have in the end, then only God will know!
