"Hurry up, hurry up, it's still a step slower!" Yan Chujie looked at his subordinates who were boarding the ship, frowned and complained.

Yan Chujie and Tao Donglai led the "Rapid Reaction Force" to rush back from Base No. 2 as quickly as possible, but they didn't expect the traversers who stayed here to move faster, and when they arrived at the dock, all that was waiting for them was to clean up the battlefield. Yan Chujie suddenly thought of the situation when Tao Donglai brought people to reinforcements after the last battle, probably his mood at that time was similar to his current self!

Two iron-hulled fishing boats are currently splitting up in the harbor to catch the pirates who survived the sea, and the reinforcements are tasked with finding the stranded ship to see how many can be caught before it gets completely dark. The ten Ming sailors who had been temporarily locked up in the barge hold before the battle came in handy at this time, driving their familiar Haicang ships to carry reinforcements to the sandbar east of the harbor to exterminate the few surviving pirates.

As expected, only the empty ships were left on the sandbank, and the pirates on board must have taken advantage of the gap after the grounding to flee farther away. But there was nothing to worry about, as the small sandbar bordered a series of mountains that the pirates would have to climb before they could escape. But without a boat, where can they flee even if they escape?

Obviously, the boat couldn't just let it sit on the beach, so Tao Donglai transferred an iron-hulled fishing boat to come over and tow the stranded sailboat directly back to the dock with a cable. As for the pirates who have escaped, it is not too late to wait until dawn tomorrow to pursue them slowly.

Of the four smaller sailboats, two of the ones that were blown up have sunk due to flooding, and the remaining two are also heavily damaged, so they can only be towed back to the dock by another boat, and then slowly check tomorrow to see if there is still any repair value. Fortunately, the two large ships were largely intact except for a few planks that were broken by rifle bullets during the initial attack, and the further expansion of the shipping department seemed to be a foregone conclusion.

An hour later, it was completely dark, and for safety reasons, Yan Chujie ordered all personnel to stop the sea search and return to Shengli Harbor. As for whether there are still unlucky ghosts who are wandering on the sea and have not been found at this time, it doesn't matter so much.

After returning to the wharf, the military police department immediately carried out a preliminary inventory of the captured personnel, and found that a total of 77 pirates had been captured, five of whom were seriously injured and were estimated to have survived until dawn. A total of eighteen bodies of pirates who had been killed or drowned were also recovered. As for the exact number of pirates who came this time, further information will have to wait until after the sudden interrogation. (Baidu search update is the fastest and most stable)

And the only injury on the side of the crossing was reporter Luo Wudan, who was too excited to see during the battle, but she didn't stand firm, and hit her head on the side of the boat with a green bag. Luo Wudan, who originally had a follow-up interview plan, ran away in a hurry as soon as she got off the boat, and it was said that Morgan Jian yì immediately went to the infirmary to get some medicine to disperse stasis and reduce swelling, so as not to leave bruises on the wound in the future.

"Everyone has worked hard!" At this time, Tao Donglai finally had the opportunity to express his condolences to the crossing people who went to sea to fight fiercely today: "I know that you haven't had time to eat dinner, I won't say more, Master Fan has already made a seafood rice, everyone eat first, hurry up and rest, because we don't know if there will be a second battle." ”

As for Wang Tom, Sun Changmi, Yue Zhiyun and Gu Kai and others who can't leave for the time being, they must first make a summary of the current situation together, and then seize the time to formulate the next response plan.

"Let's arrange for the military police department to start a surprise interrogation first, we must first know whether the enemy is a wave or what is hidden. Tao Donglai walked into the conference room and opened the conversation before he sat down.

Yan Chujie nodded and said, "I have already arranged for people to do it just now." However, this time there were twice as many prisoners as last time, and it was night, so it is estimated that the trial will be a little slower. ”

Tom Wang interjected: "I don't think this pirate attack is an accident, it was a premeditated attack. ”

"Tell us what you think. Tao Donglai was very interested in Wang Tom's opinion, and when Wang Tom reminded him that there might be spies infiltrating the construction site, Tao Donglai thought it was very likely, and especially explained that Ning Qi was going to control the migrant workers on the construction site tonight.

"Mr. Tao and Mr. Yan are both people who have been soldiers, so I'll say it directly. Tom Wang sorted out his thoughts for a while, and then began to analyze: "As a military operation of a surprise nature, we all know that morning and evening are the best times. I have to say that the timing of the other party's selection was actually not bad, and it was specially launched when the patrol on our side was over and all the ships returned to the port. If we hadn't set up a sentry post at Yulinjiao a long time ago, and saw six boats rushing to the dock at once, I'm afraid we would have been a little scrambling. ”

"It's unlikely that these pirates from afar will attack right after they arrive, which means they've been lurking somewhere outside the bay for a whole day or more. And I think the reason why they attacked in the evening instead of in the morning was because they wanted to delay our rescue and give them an extra night to loot supplies. ”

"Of course, there is a necessary premise for my speculation, that is, the other side has already sent spies, knows that our main force is not in the port, and roughly knows the time and scope of our maritime patrols. ”

After listening to this, Tao Donglai nodded and said, "If there are really spies, then they must not be able to escape." The migrant workers at both bases have already been controlled, and all that remains is to take the time to slowly identify. ”

In fact, at the same time as they were meeting, the identification of outsiders at Base 1 had already begun, and Gu Kai volunteered to take the errand. It is true that Gu Kai is not good at going to the battlefield, but when it comes to criminal investigations, identifying the truth and falsity of confessions, Gu Kai can be regarded as a fighter among experts. After a few years of lawyers, I don't know how many scumbags I have seen, whether they are lying, Gu Kai can basically judge the accurate result from the other party's eyes, demeanor, movements and other details.

At present, there are not many outsiders staying at Base No. 1, and there are only more than 10 people when they are full. After receiving the alarm from the Yulinjiao post in the afternoon, these local Ming men had already been crossed through the crowd with the ten Ming sailors, and had just been released from the barge cabin after the battle, standing in a row under the threat of bayonets.

Gu Kai didn't plan to spend time interrogating these Ming people one by one, and then repeatedly comparing their confessions to find out who might be hiding in them, he had already thought of a more convenient way.

Foreman Yu Dashan is the first indigenous "cadre" appointed by the crossing in this time and space, he and Yu Xiaobao, father and son, can be regarded as the first batch of local leading party from Long, and the locals who usually come to work in the No. 1 base are handed over to him to manage, if you want to understand the specific situation of this group of workers, it is obviously faster to ask Yu Dashan.

Gu Kai raised his hand and pointed at Yu Dashan, asking him to call out of the column alone, Yu Dashan already knew what happened outside just now at this time, lest it was the short-haired old man who wanted to take a knife on himself, trembling and unable to take a step, and even shouted "wronged" in his mouth.

Gu Kai scolded with a smile: "You're afraid of a hairy! Let you come out to recognize people, not to kill your head!"

After speaking, he directly pulled Yu Dashan out and asked him to face this row of bright people: "These people may have pirate spies mixed in, Yu Dashan, take a good look and identify the acquaintances in your village first." Remember, it's the people who have been living in your village. ”

When Yu Dashan heard that he only recognized people, he relaxed a little, and quickly identified several villagers from the same village he knew from the queue. These people were basically introduced by him to work here, and he had to take responsibility for anything.

At the end of this identification, there were only three people left in the group. At this time, some of the villagers who had just been identified raised their hands one after another, identifying two of them as their relatives, so that only one person remained.

"It seems that no one here knows you!" Gu Kai showed a smug smile on his face.

"Master, I'm not a bad person!" The man's face turned pale with fright, and he shook his hand again and again: "I'm from Phoenix Town, but the people here don't recognize me, I've been working here for several days, and I've never made trouble!"

"It's easy to know if you're a good person or not. Gu Kai turned his head to the armed men holding him and said, "Take him to the place where the pirates are held, put on a show to make him show off, and then lock him up with the pirates at night!"

"Don't, my lord spares his life!" the man immediately knelt down and begged for mercy as soon as his legs weakened: "The little one is ...... The little one is the spy......"

This guy reacted very quickly, and if he was really taken to perform in front of his pirate accomplices, then his accomplices would definitely think that he had betrayed this defeat, and in this case, it would be impossible to get through the rhythm of the night if they were locked up together.

"Then let's talk about it!" Gu Kai squatted down and stared at the frightened spy with mocking eyes: "Do you have any hidden accomplices, and how do you get in touch with each other?"

Ten minutes later, Gu Kai put the calf-thick bamboo tube on the table in front of Tao Donglai: "I caught the spy." ”

Tao Donglai, who didn't know why, picked up the bamboo tube and opened the seal on it to see that there was a pigeon curled up in the bamboo tube, and he couldn't help but be stunned: "Pigeons?

"These guys have been in Luhuitou for almost ten days, and the spies infiltrated our site four days ago, and he took three carrier pigeons and released one every three days. According to his confession, there is also an accomplice lurking on the construction site of Base 2, and I have just contacted Ning Qi and told him about the physical characteristics of the spy. Gu Kai proudly showed off his achievements.

"Are there any of their accomplices outside the harbor?" Tao Donglai is now nervous not so much whether there are any spies, but whether the other party still has cards that have not yet been played.

"According to the spies, there are no more. ”

"Where's the gang's lair?"

"It's said to be Chau Island, but I don't know exactly where this place is, and the spy can't tell one, two, three. Gu Kai shrugged his shoulders and said.

"I know the place of Jinzhou Island, in Zhanjiang. Tao Donglai thought about it and added: "Now it should be called Leizhou." ”
