At 3 p.m. on June 1, 1895, Lin Fei led the fleet to the forward base on Mindoro Island, accompanied by the frogman commandos and the 7th Battalion of the 1st Army Brigade, which suffered heavy losses in the attack on Cebu Island.

In the Battle of Cebu Island, due to inaccurate intelligence, almost all the first company of the 7th Battalion was killed, and later Lin Fei reorganized this company, and this company also gave itself a resounding name...... Company of Avengers.

Lin Fei led the troops to station on Minduluo Island and began to arrange a detailed attack plan, Lin Fei gathered Tang Yinchun, the captain of the frogman commando, and several chief officers of the army and navy, and first said: "I originally wanted the frogman commandos to attack Corregido Island in the early morning of June 2, but I found that the army still needed time to mobilize, so the attack time was changed to the early morning of June 3. ”

Everyone nodded, Lin Fei immediately sent the attack plan and detailed timetable, everyone read it, there was no doubt, then Lin Fei coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention to himself, and then said solemnly: "I emphasize one point in particular..."

Everyone stared at Lin Fei intently, Lin Fei said: "The purpose of the frogman commando to blow up the searchlight is to prevent the shore defense heavy artillery from discovering the landing troops, so the searchlight must be blown up before dawn, the sunrise time on Correcido Island in June is 5 o'clock in the morning, it takes an hour for the landing force to reach the beachhead, and it also takes an hour to expand in depth, so the frogman commando team must blow up the searchlight before 3 o'clock in the morning..."

Lin Fei looked at Tang Yinchun when he said this, and said solemnly, "Do you remember?" ”

Tang Yinchun nodded heavily, and said loudly: "Blow up the searchlight before 3 o'clock in the morning, I remember..."

Lin Fei said "um", waved his hand and said, "Break the meeting, let's take action in the evening." ”

At 11:30 p.m. on June 2, under Lin Fei's order, the frogman commandos boarded the Pangu ship and sailed towards Corregido Island.

At 12 o'clock in the evening, Liu Daming, the captain of the Tianlong ship, reported to Lin Fei: "Now we are only fifteen kilometers away from Correshido Island. ”

Lin Fei said: "According to the predetermined plan, the Tianlong ship and the Yunlong ship will cruise at a slight speed, and the Pangu ship will continue to move forward and escort the frogman commando team to the island. ”

Liu Daming replied loudly: "Yes... Understood..."

Liu Daming immediately picked up the microphone of the whole ship and said to Ma Chengfeng, the communications chief of the Tianlong ship: "Send light signals to the Pangu ship and the Yunlong ship to convey the orders of the fleet commander." ”

Although Lin Fei had already manufactured radio communication equipment at this time, and these communication equipment were also loaded on the warship, but the battery was not strong enough, so it could only be used for about ten hours.

In fact, on the warships of Lin Fei's era, the radio communication equipment could be powered by the ship's generator, and the Dragon-class cruiser also had a generator, but this generator was directly moved down from the Spanish merchant ship, with Lin Fei's current ability, it was not impossible to develop a ship generator, but it was too time-consuming, and Lin Fei did not dare to develop a generator to use on the ship.

As a highly educated naval officer, Lin Fei certainly understood that too many new equipment and new technologies could not be used on the warship at the same time, because this would severely weaken the reliability of the warship, so Lin Fei directly used the generators on the Spanish merchant ships, the power of these generators was relatively small, and the circuit improvement space was not large, so it was impossible to directly charge the Jade Bird machine.

The light signal was issued, and Gao Longcheng, the captain of the Pangu ship, replied to the Tianlong ship with a light: "Our ship has received the news. ”

The Pangea then sailed alone towards the distant island of Corregido, where the large searchlights were lit, and from a distance, the entire island was shrouded in light.

Lin Fei raised the telescope and looked in the direction of Correshido Island, his thick eyebrows were locked, Liu Daming walked to Lin Fei at this time, the command room of the Tianlong ship and the command room of the fleet were together, so it was very convenient for Liu Daming to see Lin Fei, Liu Daming approached Lin Fei and laughed quietly: "Look at you frowning, what do you think?" ”

Lin Fei put down the binoculars and was about to speak, when he heard Yu Xi'er sigh on the side, and said resentfully: "Of course I miss Miss Meixiang, the ancients said well, send plum blossoms, fish pass rulers, cut into this hatred without repeating the number......"

Liu Daming smiled evilly and said, "I was thinking about Miss Meixiang, I can't bear her, right?" You're really, why are you sending her back to Japan? If I were you, I would lift her skirt on the whaling ship, her on the spot, and turn around and let her be a concubine, she is soft and weak, she doesn't even dare to train people, and dare to say the word 'no'? ”

Lin Fei laughed helplessly and said, "What kind of nonsense are you two talking about, now that the enemy is present, how can I think about these things?" I'm worried about the frogman commandos, although they have undergone my special training and have frogman equipment, but after all, going to the island to fight is deep behind enemy lines, and there will always be unexpected things happening......"

The three of them said a few words, and when the time came, the operator of the Jade Bird suddenly got up and reported: "Your Majesty, the Pangu ship has sent a voice call request." ”

Lin Fei immediately frowned, in order to save the time of using the Jade Bird Machine, he specially stipulated...... Voice calls are not allowed in non-emergency situations, and now the Pangu ship has actually sent a voice call request...

Lin Fei ran to the Jade Bird Machine in two steps, grabbed the microphone, put it on his ear, and said loudly: "I'm Lin Fei, what happened?" "In Lin Fei's era, secret language must be used in radio communication to prevent confidential information from being eavesdropped by the enemy, in this era, only the Chinese Empire in the world is equipped with radio communication equipment, so Lin Fei did not use secret language.

"Report to Your Majesty, I'm Gao Longcheng, the captain of the Pangu ship, and my ship was discovered by an enemy ship... There is an enemy ship, which is moving at high speed towards our ship ...

Lin Fei's mind was spinning, the Pangu ship was just a whaling ship, it was okay to carry out reconnaissance and infiltration missions, and it was absolutely impossible to confront the enemy ship head-on... Lin Fei then said: "Order your ship to immediately disengage from the enemy ship, and if conditions permit, you can introduce the enemy ship into the area covered by our fleet's firepower." ”

Gao Longcheng replied loudly: "Yes, I understand..."

Lin Fei put down the microphone and said to Liu Daming: "The Pangu ship has encountered an enemy ship, and it looks like we are going to fight..."

Liu Daming said excitedly: "Great... How are we going to fight? ”

Lin Fei said: "The enemy is bright and I am dark, of course we must use the most labor-saving method to destroy it, immediately send a light signal to the Yunlong ship, and the whole fleet will implement light control and prepare for battle, this is not a drill, pay attention, this is not a drill..."

Liu Daming agreed loudly, and while using the ship's microphone to give orders to the Tianlong ship, he also notified Ma Chengfeng to use light signals to give orders to the Yunlong ship.

At 12:35, Gao Longcheng, the captain of the Pangu ship, sent a message: "Report to Your Majesty, the Spanish warship is following our ship to the area covered by our fleet's firepower. ”

Lin Fei couldn't help but shout "yes", and then asked, "Has the specific situation of the enemy ship been clearly observed?" ”

Gao Longcheng said: "According to our observations, the enemy ship is a gunboat..."

Lin Fei thought to himself, in the Battle of Hele Island, I commanded the Nuwa ship to sink three gunboats of the Spanish army in one fell swoop, and there was only one gunboat...... The ship Charles I took advantage of the chaos to escape, and this gunboat should be the ship Charles I.

Lin Fei said to Gao Longcheng: "Turn on the pilot light at the front of your ship, flash at a frequency of twenty times per minute, and report the relative position of the enemy ship and your ship every ten minutes. Gao Longcheng agreed, and ordered the Pangu ship to turn on the pilot light, it is difficult to find a ship in the vast darkness, and flashing the pilot light is to indicate the target for the fleet.

At 12:45, Gao Longcheng reported that the Charles I ship was directly behind our ship, about three kilometers away.

At 12:50, Ma Chengfeng, the communications chief of the Tianlong ship, reported to Lin Fei: "Fleet commander, I found that the pilot lights flashing at a frequency of twenty times per minute are presumed to be the Pangu ship, and the distance and azimuth are not yet observable. ”

Lin Fei said: "Continue to observe, and report as soon as the Pangu ship enters the observable distance." After Lin Fei finished speaking, he picked up the microphone of the Jade Bird Machine and said, "Call Bi Fang, the captain of the Yunlong Ship... Call the captain of the Yunlong ship, Bi Fang..."

"Bi Fang received, Bi Fang received, please speak..."

"I am Lin Fei, the commander of the fleet, and I order your ship to sail to the west of the Pangu ship."

"Bi Fang understands..."

After Lin Fei finished speaking, he put down the microphone, and then said to Liu Daming: "Order the Tianlong Ship to head to the east side of the Pangu Ship." ”

Liu Daming first said "understood", and then said with a smile: "You let the Yunlong ship in the west and the Tianlong ship in the east, this is a two-sided attack, what is the name of the text......"

Yu Xier said on the side: "Horn attack." ”

Liu Daming said with a smile: "That's right, it's a horn attack, Lao Lin, you are really ruthless, just a Spanish gunboat, the Nuwa ship is more than enough to clean it up, you have to let the Tianlong ship and the Yunlong ship go on the ship, or go together...... Haha......" Liu Daming laughed after speaking.

At 12:55, Gao Longcheng reported again that the enemy ship was directly behind our ship, and at 1:03, Ma Chengfeng reported: "Fleet commander, captain, the Pangu ship has entered the observable distance, and it is currently five kilometers away from our ship. ”

Lin Fei hurriedly asked, "Did the enemy ship that followed the Pangu ship see it?" ”

"Report to the Commander, yet..."

Lin Fei thought for a moment, picked up the communicator and ordered: "Adjust the speed of the fleet and reduce it to ten knots." Lin Fei ordered the fleet to slow down at this time in order to reduce the shaking of the battleship, although the battleship was equipped with stabilizer fins to suppress roll, but Lin Fei still wanted to make the cannonballs hit more accurately.

At 1:05, Gao Longcheng reported that the enemy ship was still following our ship.

At 1:20 a.m., Ma Chengfeng reported: "The enemy ship has been discovered, and it is expected that our ship will be three kilometers away from the enemy ship in 13 minutes, and the enemy ship will enter the range of our ship at that time." ”
