177 Before sunrise

After receiving the news that the Meteor had protruded from Wusongkou and Xu Chong had gone ashore unharmed, the solemn atmosphere in the 419 command cabin suddenly disappeared. Everyone began to applaud, and Cheng Dayang turned around and shook hands with the political commissar.

Since Lin Xiuxuan landed in Hangzhou Bay on the first day, it has been nearly a month in his throat, and by this time, it can almost fall into the stomachs of everyone in the command cabin.

"I'll just say that Director Lin can stand the test, you see, he really solved the problem beautifully." Pan Chunhua said.

"Yes, he stumbled all the way and came over, his guy is an ancestor of virtue. Now it's time to see Shuping's reactor start. ”

"I looked at the first batch of parts of Shuping, and there was plenty of redundancy, enough to cope with the pressure, and there would be no problem. In addition, I designed a start-up plan, when the time comes, all the units and fuel oil will be installed on the freighter, as a floating power station, connected to the submarine by cable, once the reactor is successfully restarted, the freighter's sea valve can be opened, and all the ship's machines will be sunk into the sea, leaving no trace for the enemy, and the follow-up work will be much simpler. ”

"I agree with this, centralized management will also be good for plant design. 8 units connected to the grid cannot be achieved overnight, and must be carefully studied; But in recent days, how to protect against reconnaissance from the air? The cargo ship is easily visible from the air. ”

"This ship is 57 meters long and 7.5 meters wide, in fact, the outcropping part is not much different from the 419, and it can be effectively covered temporarily with camouflage nets and branches. According to the reconnaissance of this period, the number of enemy army reconnaissance planes in Shanghai has never exceeded six, and now the main task every day is to travel to and from Taihu Lake, and the navy is currently in a narrow waterway, and it is impossible for the water reconnaissance planes to move, so the aerial reconnaissance strength of the enemy is not very strong, and it is very likely that it is just a matter of passing the shots. As long as the enemy flies from a high altitude, we can cope. ”

"Another question, have you ever thought that sinking the Meteor is of course once and for all, but if Director Lin needs to go ashore to get some information in the future, wouldn't we have any ready-made ships here?"

Cheng Dayang hesitated, he expected that he would definitely still need surface ships, such as the Kasuga Maru, which sent people to dive to a depth of 200 meters, and it was impossible not to need helium.

"I suggest that we dig a pit on Tanhu Island starting tomorrow, and use manpower to push the anti-smuggling boat up to the island first, and then bury it. Maybe you'll need it in the future. ”

"Well, that's a good suggestion. However, Lin has two team members who have not been picked up yet, so they will not be buried tomorrow. ”

To the south of Jinshan, the boatswain drove the anti-smuggling boat through a river channel that was not much wider than the dinghy itself. Ma Qiang stared at Song Jiang eating from behind, let go of Song Jiang's hands just now, and then stuffed a steamed bun for him, but he was still blindfolded, not letting him see where he was.

For how to deal with Song Jiang, Lin there has never made up his mind, if he wants to kill, he can immediately strangle him and sink into the water, but it seems that the team leader still does not want to do so much, Ma Qiang agrees with Lin in his heart not to kill Song Jiang, this should be a war of Chinese unanimous foreign countries, unless it is compelled, he does not want to kill those compatriots who do not have great evil, in the battle of Changshu, he has already killed several of Huang Bamei's subordinates, which makes him not very happy in his heart.

The boat passed slowly, and the sound of the engine still startled the dogs all the way, and they had already passed through it twice in the dark, knowing that it was completely under control, and that no one in the villages along the river had even lit a lamp.

The river is gradually opening up, and it is about to enter Hangzhou Bay.

"We're almost there." The sailor motioned for Ma Qiang to do it, and Ma Qiang pulled off the half of the steamed buns on Song Jiang's hand and tied him back up, so as not to make a ghost for this kid.

"Heroes who resist Japan, I have also beaten the Japanese, this matter is Zhang Guangcai's idea," Song Jiang had a premonition that things were not good, and hurriedly begged for mercy, "I have long seen that he is not a good person, he hides from my sister and raises small ones outside, I know all this...... He committed a heinous crime, and he deserved death, but you can't kill a good person by mistake, and you were on the fort back then......"

Before Song Jiang finished speaking, Ma Qiang had already gagged him.

"You kid, listen, don't be a ghost, maybe I'll let you go soon, if you dare to play tricks, I will stab you with three knives and six holes. Understood, nodded. ”

Over there, Song Jiang nodded like pounding garlic.

"Look, it's almost the Qiantang River, and someone will answer soon."

The boatswain casually told a lie, the purpose was to make Song Jiang never know where he was, if he let this kid go and he went to the enemy again, these lies could also stop a little. Of course, you can't talk nonsense casually, this kid is also born by the sea, and he can probably smell the difference between the river breeze and the salty and wet sea breeze, so he has to be careful everywhere.

To a certain extent, it is very bad to keep Song Jiang's legacy, on the contrary, there is no benefit at all, but Lin Xiuxuan does not just consider these aspects to decide the life or death of a misguided fool, in his opinion, Song Jiang also died in Changshu in the advance of the infighting, or even Zhang Guangcai, who has already defected to the enemy, is actually not a bad person, but he has lost his way in various ways.

For Lin, only a few traitors encountered when Jin Shanwei landed could be regarded as a traitor with a dead heart.

This place of Jinshanwei was recorded in the history of the first to dry the Mo evil smelting iron casting, and before the Ming Dynasty tied for the four Davids because of the geographical point, this saline-alkali cadastral was nameless. Qi Jiguang had a period of glory in the anti-Japanese era, and the iron cannons of the Ming Dynasty left over from the anti-Japanese era can still be seen on the head of the old city; However, in modern times, because of a near-perfect amphibious landing by the Japanese invaders, a group of leading parties after the all-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression were achieved, and the earliest maintenance meeting in Jiangnan followed......

"We see you."

A communication was sent from an observation post on the hilltop of Tanhu Island.

"Roger. What area is the team leader in? ”

"Twenty minutes ago, they were still in the waterway between Changxing and Hengsha, and it seemed that they were still evading enemy destroyers."

"Is it too late to enter Hangzhou Bay?"

"It seems to be very hanging. The deputy captain was stunned and stopped in place, because there was no information on the depth of the waterway between the Hengsha in Changxing in those years. ”

"Not really, right?"

The reply of the observation post on Tanhu Island was a little lagging behind, but in fact, at this moment, Shu Ping had already taken over from Chu Aiyun and was driving in the middle area of the two sandbanks of Hengsha and Changxing, and the reason why he did not take the main channel in the north was because there were enemy warships blocking it.

The enemy seemed to have sensed something, and through the radio order to the minelayer Ruoyun, the communication was completely intercepted through the main channel between Chongming and Changxing, and the enemy's intentions were very clear. The command also reminded Ruoyun not to enter the shallow area to avoid running aground.

In response, the Meteor could only escape into the diving zone between Changxing and Hengsha, and if it turned around, it would be lower than the Japanese ship at 14 knots. What's worse is that Ruoyun's 14-knots speed is really not fast, and when it passes behind the butt and then returns to the channel, it will delay a lot of time, so Shu Ping couldn't stand it and asked to pass directly.

The entire Chongming and the surrounding islands are all mud and sand carried by the Yangtze River, and the sandbar formed by the impact of the estuary, especially the Hengsha and the waterway between Changxing (this era) The depth is unknown, considering that the Japanese reminded their 2,000-ton minelayer ships to avoid this water, it is obvious that the Japanese with sufficient hydrological data do not dare to approach. If you take into account that after loading the cargo, the draft of the Meteor is also close to 5 meters, Chu Aiyun does have reason to worry about the problem of running aground.

Now Chu Aiyun does not dare to steer, and is only responsible for monitoring to ensure that he does not approach either side of the side. Although it seems that the intermediate waterway between Hengsha and Changxing is much wider than recorded in later maps, everyone on board was a little apprehensive, except for Shu Ping; The Captain had always been over-careful, but now he was bolder than anyone else, and seemed to be sure of navigating uncharted waters.

"Chief, drones have never detected the passage of large Japanese ships from here." Chu Aiyun said worriedly, "I still stick to my opinion, wait for the Japanese minesweepers to pass behind, and then turn around and return to the main channel." We don't have the hydrological data of this era, especially since it is not an astronomical tide, and I always feel that it is very inappropriate to pass between the sandbanks. ”

"Time is not on our side, the Japanese ship north of Hengsha is so slow, when it passes at least 40 minutes, the Meteor will be even slower, barely 10 knots, if the sunrise can't advance Hangzhou Bay, that's the biggest risk." Lin Xiuxuan said, "So...... Even if you take a risk, let Shu Ping come. ”

"I never take ......risks," Shu Ping said, "I completely follow the hydrological and geographical data of the channel provided by 419, even at low tide, there is a depth of 7.5 meters here, and there will be no problem." As for the Japanese minelayer, I don't think it dared to sail through at night. ”

Shu Ping looked confident when he spoke, and his momentum completely overshadowed the other two.

"I don't think so, hydrographic data can change depending on the times." Chu Aiyun said.

"You two just don't get the hang of it, this is the impact tidal flat, 419 data shows that the average water depth of the main channel is more than 9 meters, 70 years later, you can take a 4,000-ton boat, and now it is naturally no problem. Figured out this? Shu Ping said disdainfully.

"Oh, I figured it out." Chu Aiyun agreed, and Lin Xiuxuan next to him thought, I am clearly speaking on your side, why don't you open up? Is it good to pay attention to the ranks?

Seeing that the ship was moving slowly and there was no sign of grounding, Lin Xiuxuan began to relax and observe the retreat of Xu Chong and Lu Qingshan through the drone.

The enemy had organized a large number of search teams and brought dogs, but they were still searching the area along the river, and they certainly could not imagine that someone could shoot with a small-caliber weapon from a distance of 2 kilometers. Those search teams that looked dotted from the perspective of drones were left behind by Lu Qingshan and Xu Chong, who had already made peace, and they did not pose a threat at all.

"They won't be able to make it to Lingang today." Lin sighed.

"When you make a plan to run 80 kilometers in 4 hours, do you calculate it according to the speed of a marathon runner? Is it good to have a little common sense? Shu Ping taunted again, he didn't taboo anyone.

“…… I didn't arrive at Lingang in time, which was completely within my expectations, and I originally expected to solve it tomorrow. ”

"Will it really work tomorrow? I find that your estimate of task redundancy is quite arbitrary every time, so it is not surprising that there is a serious deviation, and in my estimation, the time of their arrival in the designated area is likely to be the day after tomorrow. Otherwise, let's make a bet? Shu Ping said.

"Thanks, I won't bet with you."
