Chapter 868: Harsh
After receiving the order, Yuqing suppressed the excitement in her heart and led the Tianyao Air Force, which had surged to 300 airships, to do the last comprehensive exercise.
Yuan Fang's airship is purple, this is Sang Rou's common opinion, and this airship was named Purple Wind by them, Yuan Fang asked about the meaning of this name, but Ouyang Xianxue's answer made him speechless for a while: "It doesn't make sense, it just sounds good." ”
With the continuous delivery of brand-new airships from the military factory, Yuan Fang also owned three airships, which existed outside the Tianyao Air Force and belonged to the military hospital, and were naturally taken over by Yuan Fang's guard Tian Erniu.
During the last exercise, Yuan Fang found that there were still some problems of one kind or another in the Air Force, but they were all minor problems that had little impact on the battle, and they should be corrected with more tempering in the future.
On the evening of the last day of the deadline, all the airships were overhauled, and the ground crew were carrying the usual vulnerable parts on board, and this time, they had to go with them.
The stomachs of the three super-large transport airships were full, and all kinds of materials were piled up, including the accessories of the airships and the incendiary bombs that had been sealed, as well as a large number of fog stones, light stones, lamps, etc., as for the food and water that were not carried much, the local army would provide these.
Everything was ready, Yuan Fang and Yuqing came to the tarmac, the two looked at each other for a long time, Yuan Fang said in high spirits: "Yuqing, we are going to separate again this time, see you in the imperial capital after a while." ”
Yuqing nodded heavily: "See you in the imperial capital." After speaking, he gave Yuan Fang a bear hug, then turned around freely and strode towards his Tianyao flagship.
Yuan Fang waved his hand at Yuqing's back and muttered, "Take care." ”
Yuqing took two hundred airships and thirty small boats and two logistics supply transport airships to the air formation, set off first, rushed to Wuxi County, and then, Yuan Fang led the remaining one hundred airships fifteen small boats and one logistics transport airship to take off and take off, because Jingqiu as the cruise commander, after the formation set off, the direction was east-northeast, the height was 1,008, the speed was 30 knots, and went straight to the destination of Guzhong County, Dongzhou.
At this time, it was getting late, the sea was pitch black, the moon had not yet risen, and it was all pitch black except for the red warning lights of the formation airship and the searchlights of the secondary flagship.
Tianyao Air Force poured out, Emerald Island handed over to the Navy Situ Muran to take over, together with the joint defense of Changhuandao and Pukou Naval Base, now the Navy has more than 100 warships, but because of lack of personnel, the maximum 50 ships that can be operated, the rest are moored in the military port and idle, which is a sadness and helplessness.
The navy's warships are now all replaced with the latest and most powerful warships of the Wanliu Empire, and the weapons are also long-range heavy crossbows, which are even stronger than in the most glorious period of the navy in the past, plus the air force squadron composed of fifty airships equipped to them, even if there are several waves of hundred-ship fleets, they will not be afraid.
On the southeast coast of Wanghai County, a large group of laborers are still busy, leveling the ground, digging ditches, transporting sand and gravel, these people's clothing is basically uniform, and similar to military uniforms, there are many Dongsheng Zhou soldiers with swords near them to take care of them, yes, they are the prisoners of the storm fleet of the Wanliu Empire, they were sent here to do coolies a few days ago, although they were unwilling, but they were powerless to resist, defeated, this is the end, they didn't know how many pirates they captured and sent back to the empire to do this, Now they have also experienced first-hand this kind of life under the fence and without freedom.
Next to a large reef on the coast, a young sailor thrust the iron hammer in his hand into the crack of the reef, a little spark flashed, the sailor's hands were numb, but the reef was not much damaged, the sailor rubbed his palm, and said to his slightly older companion next to him: "Captain, do we have to do this all the time?" ”
The captain smiled bitterly: "Otherwise? We're captives now, it's good to be alive, hurry up, hurry up and get to work, the overseer is here, don't let these guys find out, or we'll be punished and confiscated." ”
The young sailor glared viciously at the overseer who came from afar, and complained, "These grandsons are too harsh, and I won't be allowed to eat last time after a short rest." ”
The captain's personality was more optimistic, and he smiled and said: "You are satisfied, tell you, I once went to the mine once, do you know what the treatment of prisoners of war there is?" I leaned on, one by one, like black briquettes, I can't see the appearance at all, I don't know how long I haven't taken a bath, I heard that those guys only have one meal a day, and being found to be lazy is a leather whip, compared with our empire's treatment of prisoners, these people from the Dongsheng Empire are already very good, they have two meals a day, and they are not too tired to work. ”
The young sailor sighed and looked at the night sky: "Captain, when is this a head, can't be in this life, I'm a little homesick." ”
The captain sighed: "Who isn't, my wife will give birth in three months, I was going to make more achievements this time and go back on vacation, but I didn't expect it, hey." ”
The young sailor pointed to the night sky in surprise and said, "Captain, what do you think is that?" It's not like a star, how can it shine and still move. The attention of everyone around them was attracted and they all looked up in the direction the young sailor was pointing.
There are always more than a dozen points of light suspended in the dark night sky, just like half of the stars in the night sky, but this point of light is a little strange, not little by little, but one by one. After observing for a long time, those points of light were indeed moving, and they were already approaching the shore at this time.
At this moment, a strong light lit up not far away, and then, the beam moved to photograph the north-northeast direction of the sky, all the prisoners of war were shocked when they saw this scene, their Wanliu Empire is also a powerful country, the navigation industry is extremely developed, and many novel things have been developed through long-term exchanges and learning, it can be said that the people of the Wanliu Empire have a wide range of knowledge, but they have never seen such a bright lamp.
Soon, those points of light in the sky finally arrived, and the young sailor pointed to the sky above him and said in horror: "Look, it seems to be the airship of the Dongsheng people, do you see those red dots, how much is this?" ”
The state army officer in charge of guarding the prisoners of war stood by the searchlight, looking up at the sky, and the soldier next to him pointed to one of the flashing white lights and said, "Sir, what does that mean?" ”
The officers are also confused, and even the Air Force has only studied a few simple passwords now, and now it is only a trial stage, and outsiders naturally do not understand, and the meaning is a response, indicating that they understand, know, or say hello.
