Section 43 Entering Fuso (Lifting the Ban Chapter)

The stars are shining tonight, and it is a moonless night.

Only the cold wind that blew from the direction of Tsushima was as cold as a gust. In the harbor outside the city, except for a long string of lanterns hanging on the masts, the ships were pitch black and nothing could be seen.

At this time, the Fuso navy will look at the enemy's patrol fleet on the other side with envy, their "spotlights" are above the sea, with long pillars of light, and from time to time they will launch one or two "sky lanterns" to illuminate the sea, and it will be extremely difficult to sneak onto their shores.

The sea breeze blowing from the north carried a small whistle, and the cold invaded the armor, stripping the people of the last shred of heat. The soldiers who were stationed outside also took advantage of the absence of the commander to hide in a warm place and go comfortably. No one believed that there could be any crazy night attack on such a cold, moonlit night.

This is the northern Kyushu of the Fukuoka Domain, which leads to the Raito Inland Sea, and in particular, the six fortified forts built along the coast and waterways of Kitakyushu are so powerful that the cannons purchased from the Dutch have a considerable range and destructive power, and even the warships that use the powerful "devil cry cannons" are no match for them. These forts act like locks that block the Bungo waterway to the Raito Inland Sea.

The main garrison of the Fuso Navy under the command of Naobo Kuki was on the southern side of Kitakyushu, which was a place to shelter from the storms of the sea and to protect the ships from enemy attacks.

In the night when there is no moonlight, the Nine Demons Naobo also believes that no one will be able to come and sneak attack. With a considerable number of reefs and turbulent currents off the coast of Kitakyushu, even the Kuki Naobo himself could not guarantee that he would be able to sail without crashing into the huge number of reefs on the seashore, let alone the enemy warships on Tsushima Island, who were not familiar with the sea conditions here, so he did not send more warships to patrol.

Indeed, nothing is possible to break through the coast in such a night. Even the fast and strange warships of the Shenzhou Army couldn't get close without turning on their "spotlights" or lighting up the "sky lanterns".

The sea is full of activity. The fleet of the opposite Shenzhou Army will carry out routine patrols at night, and since the Nine Ghosts Naobo led the fleet into a night attack a few days ago, there will be large ships patrolling with spotlights and "sky lanterns" every night to ensure that they will not be attacked again.

The Nine Ghosts would not be stupid enough to send a warship to conduct another sneak attack when he suggested peace, and besides, he didn't have the ability to do it.

It's just a pity that the Nine Ghosts Naobo didn't talk to Bolo. If it was Bolo, he would tell him that he must be careful when facing the Shenzhou Army, the more impossible it is, the more likely it is to happen when facing them.

Yes, in the middle of a night like this, it's a good time to sneak attack. And this sneak attack took place in the evening when night was approaching. Now before the Shenzhou operation, the infiltration and sabotage of special forces has almost become a habit, so Wang Deren can be said to be the one who has participated in the most battles among all the senior officers of the Chinese Shenzhou Federal Army in the future.

The daily patrol of the Shenzhou warship began at dusk, and tonight was a little different, with a team of about fifty Navy SEALs on board.

They were wearing diving suits unique to Shenzhou City, and this time due to the distance from the shore, they did not carry gas cylinders, but brought a snorkel that was almost a meter long and connected to the mask with a hose.

They will take advantage of the evening to lurk on the reefs or reefs pointed out by the Fuso captives in response to a surprise attack by a special SEAL team at night.

When the patrol fleet came to the predetermined sea area again, the special forces who had entered in advance unfolded their orange signal boards to mark the route between the reefs on the coast, as the searchlights on the warships flashed.

The SEAL brigade that infiltrated at night used a special equipment for the special forces, a submersible personnel transport boat, each carrying 10 personnel.

It resembles a long, narrow torpedo, only about a meter in diameter. Two more wing-like things on the sides, heavy equipment and the weight of ten special forces would make it potentially about a meter below the sea.

The special forces who sat on it in a row were half-lying on their seats. Also driven by human power, their breathing and observation will be carried out by a snorkel and periscope protruding up to two meters above the sea, and the rudder and observation will be supported by the squad leader who sits at the end. They can secretly transport special forces to the various assembly areas of the Fuso Navy in the Bungo Waterway at a speed of 5 knots.

Roger's seals entered the water three kilometers above the surface of the sea, three kilometers from the shore battery. They entered the transport boat on the "Whale-class amphibious assault ship" in complete darkness and slid into the water from the slipway. Scattered towards the route marked by the faintly flickering orange dots illuminated by the flares, and in this way, the Navy SEAL team led by Roger took advantage of the moonless night in the strait to enter Fuso, and they were the first troops of the Shenzhou Army to enter Fusang.

This submersible personnel transport boat is not technically a submarine because it has no equipment to fill and drain water, and there is no way to adjust the depth. And because of the strength of the material and the difficulty of sealing, this kind of dinghy cannot be built too large.

Tonight, the task taproot of the special forces has two tasks that must be completed.

One is to destroy all the remaining warships of the Nine Ghosts, of course, due to their large numbers, it is of course not feasible to bomb the ships again. Therefore, their task is only to blow up their rudders with a half-meter-long blasting canister, and when the rudder of a warship with pure sails is blown off, it will only be a dead fish floating on the sea, and it can also be modified and used after capture in the future.

In addition, they will lurk near the five batteries, and once the landing begins, they will act at the same time to eliminate the five batteries and ensure the smooth progress of the landing force at sea.

He chose this place because he occupied Kitakyushu, and the neighboring cities were Tachibanayama Castle of the Otomo family and Kayama Castle of the Mori family, and the population of each city was between 100,000 and 200,000.

Moreover, since the port of Nagasaki is a port of foreign commerce, and the island of Kyushu has the largest number of secretly "Catholic" people, the occupation of this place will undoubtedly allow for the rapid expansion of the "Salvation Army" and the provision of a large number of laborers.

At the same time, it also has direct access to the Seto Inland Sea and the Bungo Waterway, which is conducive to the operation of the "frog jumping and beheading" cluster led by Yue Xiaofei.

At this point, all preparations were made for entering Fusang, and the first division of the Shenzhou Army, two divisions of foreign mercenaries, and the Salvation Army, one of which was equipped with captured Fusang firearms, would be used as a reserve force and a supplementary force.

From this time on, the Fuso people had to prepare for a new era.
