PS: (Thanks to dljxoo88xx for the precious monthly pass, the widow is working very hard today to break out in the eighth watch, it's not too much to weakly ask for a few monthly passes, right?) ）

After Chen Hao settled the affairs of Portugal, Zhang Renjun, the new governor of Liangguang, quickly sent someone over and asked him to go to the governor's yamen to discuss matters. After arriving at the governor's yamen, Zhang Renjun ordered him to sit down, and then said with a smile: "Lord Chen has done a beautiful job this time, cleaned up those Portuguese people without temper, and safeguarded the territorial sovereignty of our country. ”

How could Chen Hao dare to bear this posture of the governor, he hurriedly got up and thanked him: "How does this make the lower officials just can't get used to seeing foreigners show off their might, and they just succeed by luck." ”

Zhang Renjun's so-called bow is just a gesture, and after Chen Hao got up, he no longer insisted, and muttered: "There are many islands in the sea of my country, but some islands have been occupied by foreigners, and if it takes a long time, these islands will no longer belong to our country." I am going to send a sailor to the sea to declare sovereignty, but I have to bother Lord Chen, and I hope that Lord Chen will not refuse. ”

"Player Chen Baxian, NPC Zhang Renjun issued you the task 'Patrol the open sea to declare sovereignty', the task completion conditions: lead the naval ships to the overseas islands, and declare that Huaxia has sovereignty over them, do you choose to accept the mission? Note: During the process of swearing sovereignty, you may encounter players from other countries and fight. ”

Chen Hao said with a straight face: "Although the lord gives the order, the subordinate will do his best." ”

Chen Hao accepted the order without hesitation, this task was of great significance, and he couldn't afford to postpone it for half a minute. Zhang Renjun made a significant contribution to the sovereignty of the islands off the coast of China, and there are still islands named after him, which is of great significance to lead the navy to sea.

The system indicates that you may encounter players from other countries, which means that swearing sovereignty is not that simple, and battles may occur during the process of going to sea. Chen Hao didn't care about this, his subordinates were quite powerful. Even if players from other countries have many warships in their hands, they will not suffer a loss in battle.

Chen Hao received the task as a semi-official and could use the sailors of the imperial court, so he had a great advantage in this regard. After completing the replenishment of the fleet, he personally led four cruisers and six destroyers to the sea, and was the first to arrive at the Paracel Islands. According to Zhang Renjun's request, Chen Hao ordered the warship to fire cannons. He also sent marines to land on the islands with the dragon flag, preparing to raise the dragon flag of the Qing Dynasty on the Xisha islands.

Although the system prompted that players from other countries might be encountered, Chen Hao didn't take it seriously, because the country that might also receive the oath of sovereignty in Xisha had not heard of any players having a large fleet. After he arrived with a warship, he didn't find any warships from other countries, so he was a little too careless.

After the marines landed on the island, Chen Hao, who was standing on the deck of the warship, quickly followed ashore, when fierce gunfire suddenly rang out on the island. Hearing the gunshot, Chen Hao's face became gloomy. Judging by the sound of gunfire, the enemy had placed more than 10 Maxim heavy machine guns on the island.

Chen Hao didn't expect to meet players in Xisha, so the marines just brought rifles, and the heavy machine guns could only be arranged by the enemy. Sure enough, about ten minutes later, a squad leader of the Marine Corps ran up to Chen Hao and saluted with a look of shame: "My lord, we have been ambushed by the enemy. Sixteen brothers were lost. ”

Chen Hao's face was even more ugly, and the NPC soldiers under his command were all elite. Our special battalion of the Marine Corps is the elite of the elite. It would cost him at least three thousand oceans to train a soldier of the Marine Corps, and now he had lost sixteen at once, so he couldn't help but feel distressed. However, this loss is not to blame for the lack of effort of his subordinates, mainly because he was careless, and he did not expect the Vietnamese players to set up machine gun positions on the island.

Some of the islands in the game are not very valuable to the player. However, due to the influence of the War game, the capture of some islands in the game has a great symbolic meaning. Some extreme Vietnamese players have invested a lot of money in warships after entering the game, and they have transported many people to station on various islands in the Paracels, and these players have built fortifications on the islands. At the same time, a lot of ammunition is stored.

Chen Hao had never done the task of patrolling the open sea in his memory, and it was Ying Yu who did the task at that time, so he didn't know the situation very well. The loss of sixteen men in the moment of carelessness made him unbearable, and he immediately ordered everyone to withdraw from the warship, and at the same time ordered the shelling of the islands.

On Woody Island, Vietnamese player Nguyen Vinh Thien hides in the fortifications below, sneering and listening to the rumbling cannons. The naval artillery of the Huaxia people was huge, but Ruan Yongjun had been prepared for a long time, and he had been ordered to build various fortifications on Woody Island for three years. The fortifications of Woody Island, at its deepest point of thirty meters underground, could not be threatened by even 343 mm naval guns.

The Vietnamese players lacked large warships, so it was clear that they were no match for the Chinese players' navy, so they landed on the island in advance and made various arrangements. Ruan Yongjun worked for a large force, which had arranged manpower and built fortifications on each island in Xisha, and it was impossible for the Chinese to defeat it.

Woody Island, where Nguyen Vinh Jun is located, is guarded by more than 400 players, and the fortifications are extremely well-built. Previously, when the Huaxia people landed on the island with the dragon flag, Ruan Yongjun commanded the players to carry out machine gun fire in the fortifications and killed 16 people, and after the observation post on the high place found that the Huaxia people had retreated to the warship, Ruan Yongjun felt that the Huaxia people were about to shell, and decisively ordered everyone to retreat to the underground fortifications.

The Chinese consumed a lot of naval artillery, but the Vietnamese players did not suffer any casualties, which made Nguyen Vinh Jun secretly happy. When the cannon fire stopped, he ordered all players to enter the fortifications, again assuming that the machine guns were ready for the Chinese attack. The extremely well-built fortifications gave Ruan Yongjun a lot of confidence, and he was not afraid even if there were 5,000 attacking Chinese.

Chen Hao didn't dare to be careless this time, he sent a reconnaissance platoon to find out the situation, and the reconnaissance platoon found out the news after losing two people. The Vietnamese fortifications were deep underground, and it was impossible to rely on naval artillery bombardment to be effective, and it was necessary to send a landing force to fight in close combat.

Chen Hao was extremely annoyed after getting the report, he thought it was a simple task, but he encountered so much trouble. The Vietnamese fortifications were buried deep underground, and if the Marines were sent to attack, the enemy would have the advantage of fortifications, and it would take at least about 1,000 Marines to occupy Woody Island.

There are twenty-two brother islands in Xisha, and if each island is a defense like Woody Island, Chen Hao will not be able to fill the entire Cam Ranh Bay First Division. The NPC troops under his command were so precious, of course they couldn't do such a thing, and after thinking about it for a while, Chen Hao decided to give up attacking Woody Island and ordered all the marines to return to the warship.

Chen Hao's first tour of the open sea did not go well, he returned to Cam Ranh Bay in disgrace, and then sent a telegram to Nguyen Zhiwen to inquire about the situation of the Vietnamese players in Xisha. Nguyen Zhiwen quickly provided Chen Hao with information, and there was a player named Nguyen Vinh Nam in Vietnam who invested a lot of money, with a cruiser and four destroyers, and he also paid for his players to build fortifications on various islands in the Paracels, and some of the fortifications even went thirty or forty meters underground.

Chen Hao couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he heard the fortifications thirty or forty meters underground, this Ruan Yongnan is a mouse, as for building the fortifications like this? However, the Vietnamese worked so hard to repair the fortifications and really gave him a problem, he went back to Cam Ranh Bay to let the player troops attack the Vietnamese fortifications, but if the Vietnamese fortifications are so perverted, even the player troops can't stand the toss!

Chen Hao didn't have a good way for a while, he was going to go to Yang Du to see if Yang Du had any good ideas. Yang Du is also an emperor who learns stunts, and he can usually think of some ways to ask him for advice. Cam Ranh Bay has built the Government Affairs Yuan, Yang Du works in the Government Affairs Yuan, Chen Hao passed by the gunpowder factory when he walked to the Government Affairs Yuan, and he suddenly had an idea.

The gunpowder factory in Cam Ranh Bay has been built for a long time, and there is still a surplus to be able to supply its own ammunition, so Chen Hao suddenly thought of using explosives packs. After sending a large number of troops close to the underground fortifications of Vietnamese players, they can dig obliquely into the ground from a distance, dig an oblique hole with a diameter of about one meter, and roll the giant explosive bag down the tunnel to the ground, which can make Vietnamese players experience a thrill.

After Chen Hao found Yang Du, he said the method he thought of, which was recognized by Yang Du. In a happy mood, he ordered the gunpowder factory to provide five tons of high explosives, and then arranged for his subordinates to carefully put the explosives on the warship, and at the same time, Chen Hao ordered the player troops in Cam Ranh Bay to dispatch 10,000 people, board the ship with shovels and other tools, and set off for Xisha again.

Chen Hao's fleet had just arrived on Woody Island, and Ruan Yongjun and others on the island had already discovered it. Fearing that the warships would shell, Nguyen Vinh Thien left only one observation post behind, and all the others went into underground bunkers. However, the observation post quickly reported to him that there was no artillery bombardment from the Huaxia and that a large number of player troops had landed on the island.

Ruan Yongjun understood that the Huaxia people were reluctant to NPC troops, so they sent player troops to attack. After discovering that there were 10,000 players who landed on the island, Ruan Yongjun was not so sure, but he felt that if the Chinese wanted to take Woody Island, at least these 10,000 people would have to die again, even if they lost the island, it would be worth it.

Nguyen Vinh Jun ordered his men to enter the fortifications and defenses, but the Huaxia did not attack, 2,000 players set up machine gun bunkers and set up heavy machine guns, and the other players took out their hoes and dug a two-meter-wide trench not far away. Seeing this scene, Ruan Yongjun's face changed, the Huaxia people were going to dig tunnels from a distance and dig directly into the underground fortifications, and they wanted to attack in this way.

Ruan Yongjun had already thought of this when designing the fortifications, but there was no good way to prevent it, fortunately, the underground fortifications were extended in all directions, and even if the Chinese dug into the ground, they would have to pay a heavy price. He ordered the players to place guns in high places to harass the Chinese players who were digging, but the Chinese players ignored him, and more than a hundred sharpshooters fired at the people he arranged, and eight of his men were shot and killed.
