Minjiang River Estuary.

A 1,500-ton iron-ribbed wood-hulled warship was quietly floating on the sea. The rising sun in the eastern sky shone the endless sunlight, as if it were a golden coat for this warship.

This warship is the Pingyuan ship, which was launched for trial voyage only a few years ago, and is produced by the authentic Mawei Shipyard. Together with another Ningyuan, it is the second of four ships built by Mawei Shipyard for the Nanyang Naval Division.

Not far from this warship, there was also the Zhenwei and the Zhenxi gunboat, these three warships, together with the Zhendong gunboat in the Min River, were the entire force of the Nanyang Naval Division to blockade the Min River.

Four warships sealed the mouth of the Min River to the death. Cut off any hope for the Harbour Master.

For, even if the small warships of the Harbour Master were able to avoid the mines and rush out of the land of death, they would be turned into ghosts by their fire.

So these days, don't look at how many Fujian and Liangguang are - excellent - excellent - small - say - more - new - the most - fastest - www.uuxs.cc - lively, this side of the Minjiang River is very quiet.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the two ships Pingyuan and Zhenwei were still in place, and the Zhendong gunboat sailed into the Min River, and he would change back to the Zhenxi. At the same time, a cargo ship from the Nanyang Shipping Company sailed here, which was to fill the four Qin warships with one qiē.

Until five o'clock in the afternoon, there were no ships from other countries on the sea, and a small dinghy, which was only more than ten meters long, was gently lowered from the cargo ship under the water.

'This is the submarine?' Li Zhenghui looked at the small boat with great interest. Gadgets that can only carry twelve people in total.

'Colonel, this is the submarine. The Qinzhou shipyard built a total of two, this is the Seawolf II, and the performance is improved compared to the first. It can carry ten people, hand propeller forward, underwater speed up to 5 knots, step valve to fill water into the water tank, up to 10 meters deep diving surface, can last four hours. Operate the pressure pump by hand to discharge the water in the water tank......

一qiē数jù are very, very primitive. But it is such a primitive small submarine, a submarine that was made with technology a century ago, and today it will become a sharp weapon for the attack of the Nanyang Naval Division.

'Don't worry, sir. Wave detachment, guaranteed to complete the mission! ‘

The captain of the submarine was a lieutenant officer, and he said to Li Zhenghui with a stern expression.

How to say that they are also a special branch of the navy, special soldiers who have been trained by the top and have spent a lot of effort to cultivate. In the Minjiang River, a place where the water conditions have been completely figured out, it is completely a piece of cake to sneak into the horsetail and nail the explosives package to the waterline of the warships of the Ship Administration and Naval Division! Even if it's winter.

The cold moon is forested, and the icy moonlight is cast on the sea. Cut into pieces by the undulating waves.

Mawei Military Port, the most heavily guarded place along the entire Fujian coast. Next to it is the largest and most powerful shipyard in China, Mawei Shipyard. In the ten years of Zuo Zongtang's shipbuilding administration, he created the foundation of Zào.

There are only a few bits of light in the black-pressed military port. In this age of no electricity, the night is like this.

The Nanyang sailors are very peaceful outside. These days, no matter how anxious and anxious Zuo Zongtang and other upper-level bigwigs are, the soldiers below have let down their vigilance.

Even Deng Shichang, who is rigid by nature, is sleeping in his dreams.

No one would have thought of a sneak attack by the Qin army!

The minefield in the Minjiang River is simply not something that warships of more than 500 tons can safely pass through. None of the four Qin warships outside the mouth was less than 500 tons.

So tonight, no one will be able to see the first trace left by the submarine in the history of Chinese warfare.

A pitch-black, slender object suddenly appeared on the sparkling surface of the sea, lifting upwards and moving northwest as it did in a northwesterly direction, like a sea monster's tentacles sticking out of the water.

This is certainly not a sea monster, this is a submarine - Seawolf II.

The captain of the ship, Liu Yang, was originally an ordinary mechanic of the Nanyang Shipping Company. After the formation of the Qin fleet, he joined the naval division and became a member of the wheel crew of the Anhai, and worked on the Anhai until the captain of the wheel.

When Liu Xian ordered the construction of submarines, of course, he did not expect to carry out wolf pack tactics. That's just to create a tool to quietly transport frogmen. Of course, considering that submarines are going to develop in terms of engines after all, when Liu Xian ordered the formation of a Seawolf detachment, he set a rule. Officers should prioritize technical personnel as much as possible. Liu Yang's technique is good, and the water is wonderful, and the result is drawn!

In the beginning, it was a memorable time for everyone. Liu Yang has suffered more than all the hardships he has suffered since he became a soldier. Because in addition to a series of physical fitness and diving training for frogmen, the narrow space of the submarine is also crazy, and as an officer, Liu Yang must learn internal combustion engine technology.

Although there is no gasoline engine or diesel engine in the world, the internal combustion engine is really existent. Its fuel is still gas.

Now, Liu Xian is standing in the narrow command cabin of the Seawolf II, holding the periscope, directing the small submarine to slowly rise. His ears could even hear the thudding of thumpping and thumping. The hand-operated water pump is not a trivial task to make the submarine float.

'I swear, I'm going to be the captain!' ‘

He Ershui, who was trying to press the water pump, glanced at Liu Yang, who was holding the periscope and did not let go, and secretly swore in his heart. He must be an official, he doesn't want to press the water pump!

Although He Ershui knew that the imaging of the periscope was very poor, and the visibility range was also very poor. When Seawolf II went into the water for the first time after installing the diving goggles, it still seeped into the water, and almost put twelve names down.

However, the captain can not work hard, so he has to be the captain!

Now is the critical stage of the submarine floating, Liu Yang does not dare to be careless, after all, it is a night float, in case he hits the night patrol ship of the Qing army in the process of floating, then his twelve people will be completely finished, it will definitely be a big disaster!

The periscope was dimly lit, and it was illuminated by the moonlight, Liu Yang concentrated on carefully observing the surrounding situation in the eyepiece of the periscope, and did not see any suspicious surface objects around. And the place where the float is very positive, at most a mile ahead, there is a pier with bright fire. Well, the place where the fleet is anchored is much closer.

"Keep draining! Attention all the crew, the submarine is about to float! ”

As soon as Liu Yang's words fell, the submarine immediately became busier.

They had to work hard and try to empty the tank as quickly as possible. The submarine was half-exposed to the sea, and the people inside could clearly hear the waves crashing against the submarine's hull, and that was when they could breathe a sigh of relief.

After about twenty minutes, the crowd heard the sound of a 'thud' coming from the hull, the sound of the waves hitting the hull. This indicates that the submarine has surfaced.

Liu Yang put away the periscope handle and gave the next order.

"Attention all the crew, open the watertight door, pay attention to the situation, and report at any time!"

A frogman was the first to climb the watertight door, and fresh air poured in. The foul air inside the boat was diluted a little.

Liu Yang climbed out of the submarine along the ladder for the second time, taking a big breath of fresh air.

"Boss, over there." The first person to climb up whispered to Liu Yang.

Liu Yang looked around, without the blurred image of the periscope, the naked eye could see much more clearly through the moonlight.

The silhouettes of warships in the darkness of the night, although they are not clear, but they can be longed! And there are lights on the warship, and the brightness he saw in the periscope before is not all docks, and some of the stars are warships. It is very good to point out the direction and location.

The submarine slowly started to move on the surface of the sea, and little by little it approached the sleeping warship. At least a distance of 200 meters before Liu Yang ordered his team members to swim over. It's winter, not the height of summer.

But that night they were really, really smooth.

Twenty empty explosive packs were installed on five warships, and then a small explosive bag with a charge of only 2.5 kilograms was used to dye the shipmaster and sailors a little color. Inside the bag was the same weight of red dye wrapped around the perimeter of the 2.5 kilogram of explosives. The mechanical timer is placed after half an hour!

When the explosion sounded, Liu Yang and the others were already under the sea two or three miles away from the dock.

……

In the city of Fuzhou, the Governor's Yamen, the Fuzhou General's Yamen, the Fujian Governor's Yamen, the Shipping Minister's Yamen, the Naval Commander's Mansion, and the Fuzhou Prefect's Yamen......

From Zuo Zongtang down, one by one the civil and military officials were woken up from their sleep. And the anger and sleepiness of these civil officials and military generals who were awakened from their sleep, and then heard the words 'there was an explosion at the dock', they were instantly thrown out of the clouds, and one or two of them who were casual also threw their souls into the clouds.

"Find out!"

Zuo Zongtang's eyebrows were about to stand up. The shipmaster is the lifeblood of the old man, and there was a violent explosion on the dock, which is his life!

The entourage hurriedly went down. These old men who have been with Zuo Zongtang for a long time can already clearly feel the murderous aura emanating from Zuo Zongtang!

Indeed, Zuo Zongtang really wanted to kill people.

What is the concept of an explosion on the pier? It's like a large army fighting on the front line, and the grain routes in the rear are cut off!

If it's caused by an enemy attack, it's the fault of the night guards, and it's time to kill!

If it's caused by your own negligence, then you should be killed!

The murderous Zuo Zongtang didn't expect tonight's action at all, it was just that Liu Xian wanted to sell him a good one and give him a favor that he had to bear. so as to pave the way for the future!

Therefore, when the subordinates who returned to the governor's yamen in less than half an hour recounted the scene they saw on the dock, Zuo Zongtang's face turned blue and dark.

You say that Liu Xian is too deceitful, right? Tonight, people are obviously merciful. Even if the surname Liu is really too deceitful, Zuo Zongtang can only knock out his front teeth and swallow blood. After all, this is the entire shipmaster's sailor, his hard work. If it's all over, the blow will be too heavy.

But under this disgusting thing, who can say that Liu Xian is kind? Zuo Zongtang could smack him in the face.

"Sue Wang Debang and Fu Xianzong, drive the Qin army into the sea for me, and capture another batch of prisoners, otherwise I will come to see you!"

Zuo Zongtang, who felt a great loss of face, was very angry and issued a strict order to the battle situation in Zhangzhou. Strictly ordered Wang Debang and Fu Xianzong, two Chu army cadres, to save the face he lost tonight.

After capturing the captive, he put Liu Xian back again! R1152
