【The second update today!】

When Liu Yihua arranged a comprehensive defense on the Zhoushan Islands and prepared for the attack of the island devils, the news that the island devils failed to attack the Zhoushan Islands had also been passed back to the island's main island.

It’s not that Liu Yihua and the others did not kill all the island devils who attacked the Zhoushan Islands, but because some of the reinforcements from the island devils observed the battle situation here from afar, and then fled in panic and went back to report the news.

Soon, the island devils conducted a comprehensive reconnaissance and determined that the army that defeated them was not the Qing army, but a team called the Chinese People's Revolutionary Army. The island devils also knew that this army had cannons that could be fired on the water!

You should know that in this era, most of them were wooden boats. If cannons were set up on wooden boats to fire, wooden boats could not bear the recoil of the cannon.

But the small island country is very smart. Before that, they thought about moving the cannons onto the ship, and they continued to conduct experiments. This experiment was just on Liu Yihua and his next attack target Tsushima Island.

"Baga! What's going on? I've only fired a few shots now? Why did I stop?" Ono Da rushed to the edge of the dock with a quick step.

"General, it seems that the boat board is not good!" Ono Dai is a general of the island country's navy. His younger brother Ono Ji failed this time, and he didn't know how to live or die. Ono Dai is very popular now and vowed to install cannons on the wooden boat, and then watch these warships attacking the Zhoushan Islands once to avenge his brother.

Ono cursed angrily: "What's going on? There's something wrong with it. I really don't know what you bastards are doing! Call the boat back for me and see where it's not possible?"

It didn't take long. A wooden boat slowly sailed towards the dock. The cannons on the wooden boat were clearly visible.

After finally waiting for the warship to dock, before the people on the boat jumped down, Ono Da shouted and asked, "What's wrong with this time?"

An island devil quickly accelerated his pace and came to Ono Daiya and said, "General, the ship is not good. When firing the cannon, he found that there were cracks in the wooden board under the cannon, so he stopped firing first. If he continued firing, the entire ship would fall apart."

"Then how do you plan to solve it?" Ono Dai suddenly got angry. After building this warship, Ono Dai had been taking a group of shipbuilders for several months to test sailing. Before, he felt that time was not particularly tight. But now Ono Dai was anxious. He hoped that the warship could be successfully tested immediately. Then he could attack the Zhoushan Islands.

However, the problem of wooden ships being unable to withstand artillery recoil has always existed, and no good solution has been found. For this matter, the island devils even invited Spanish shipbuilding experts to guide them. However, the problem has not been solved.

However, the Spanish are still quite powerful. They helped the island people train a more combat-capable fleet. Although there are no large-scale artillery on this fleet, there are many hand-calling holes. The island Japanese can use these shooting holes to shoot at the opponent's ships with flintlock guns. Moreover, the Spanish have great experience in how to line up the warships and how to shoot. So Ono is still very confident in this fleet.

But if the cannon can be successfully installed on a wooden boat, that would be even better. However, the cannon resilience has always been an unsolvable problem, but the ship has always had problems of one kind and another, which has caused Ono Dai to take the shipbuilder to repair it. It has not been fixed until now. Why is Ono Dai not annoyed?

"We are going to thicken the boards under the cannon," replied the Spanish shipbuilder.

"Reinforce it? Reinforce it again and the ship is full of wooden boards." Ono Dai immediately couldn't suppress his anger: "Now the speed of this ship is turtle climbing. If you add wooden boards, can you still drive the ship? Could it be that the enemy will drive in front of us and give it to us for a fight?"

"There is no way!" The chief shipbuilder was not afraid of Ono Da. Spain's shipbuilder has a high status. This chief shipbuilder is also a chief shipbuilder with a very high status, so he dared to argue with Ono Da: "The general has high requirements. He has to install so many cannons on such a small ship. He can no longer do it by dismantling the east and west walls. He can only continuously strengthen it. If you want artillery, you can only give up speed."

Baga! You bastard!" Onoda immediately got angry and said, "You are making excuses! We spent so much money to invite you over, not to let you come here for a good meal!"

Hearing the insult, the chief shipbuilder was furious, and he raised his tone. He replied: "I said the requests you said at that time, no. There is no way to set off so many cannons on this warship! This ship is wood, not iron! So many cannons and any kind of wooden board cannot bear it!"

Ono Dai resisted his anger and said, "Didn't you say that Spain has such a warship? Why can't we do it?"

The Spanish shipbuilder said: "Your wood is not good. If the shape of this ship, the structure of this sail, the structure of the ship, and the wood used, are different, then the ships they make are very different."

"Did you tell our Navy Minister?" Ono asked again.

"Why haven't you asked?" the chief shipbuilder replied angrily: "Nothing is useful at all. Your Navy Minister knows to talk about women when drinking. It's still the same for them to say cannons, but they want them to say boats? They don't know anything."

After getting angry, Ono Dai felt that the quarrel was useless. He slowed down and asked with a frown, "The chief shipbuilder, what do you think you should do now?"

Seeing Ono Dai started discussing the issue, the chief shipbuilder lowered his tone and said, "It can only be to reduce the cannons on the ship. I calculated that as long as I reduce two, I can solve the problem in front of me. At least the speed of the ship is not much slower than that of an ordinary ship."

"Reduce two sects? What's the use of such combat power?" Ono Dai immediately objected.

The chief shipbuilder did not answer, but made a gesture that was incomfortable. As a chief shipbuilder, all he had to consider was technical issues, and he didn't care about any combat effectiveness issues.

"This is how I want the Minister of Navy to report on this matter. You should do it here first, strengthen the ship first, so that no problems can be made when firing cannons are made. Then make plans and reduce the two cannons. How will we modify it? As long as the Minister of Navy orders, we will modify it immediately here." Ono Dai finally decided.

On the shore, there was a Navy minister. After listening to Onoda's report, he shook his head helplessly and said, "If the Spanish chief shipbuilder makes sense, then reduce the two first!" The Navy minister glanced at Onoda who came here deliberately: "If it doesn't work, then reduce the cannons again. This ship will be useful when running. Otherwise, if you can't chase others, how can you fight? Not to mention attacking the Zhoushan Islands again."

The Navy Minister paused for a moment and said, "We are not considering these issues carefully. You must respect the chief shipbuilder. This technical matter. They are still very powerful. We must listen to them. Otherwise, if we cannot build qualified ships and qualified guns, our crew members will have to pay their lives. This time, when we attacked the Zhoushan Islands, we lost so many people, and we must learn from the lessons." The Navy Minister reminded Ono again.

Ono nodded and had to go back and continue building ships, waiting for the opportunity to attack the Zhoushan Islands this time.

The island devils were in action, so of course Liu Yihua would not remain indifferent. After learning that the island devils and the Spaniards were advancing on Tsubasa Island and experimenting with the warships, they immediately decided to take the initiative first, and then Chu led the fleet to attack Tsubasa Island.

Just at sea,

Xueer told Liu Yihua that in this battle, the advanced weapons on the warships could not be used. Because Liu Yihua took the initiative to attack Tsushima Island, rather than defending Tsushima Island.

Liu Yihua smiled bitterly, and could only express his understanding. Xueer had already said that these advanced weapons were too outrageous in this historical period and could not take the initiative to attack.

Now Liu Yihua can only change his tactics. He is preparing to organize special forces to blow up the ships at Tsushima Island port at night.

Of course, there are many ships around Tsushima Island. Liu Yihua asked the special forces to attack the largest dock, which was the fleet of Yamato Ono and the Spaniards on the wooden boats while experimenting with cannons.

The special forces of the Chinese People's Revolutionary Army received rigorous training, but the task this time was still a bit arduous.

Liu Wufeng mobilized this special team before the war, and Liu Wufeng shouted: "Comrades, this is a very difficult task! And this time you are going to die for a lifetime! We just want to give the island devils a little color! So if you don't want to go, we won't underestimate him..." Liu Wufeng said to the eighty members of the special team.

"Captain! Don't worry, there is nothing scary about the Japanese in the island country. We will definitely beat them to the point of urination?" Wang Qianli, who led the team members, said.

Most of these team members are from military academy and are full of vitality. This is a good time for a newborn calf to be afraid of a tiger.

"Be careful. I wish you victory!" Liu Wufeng said with a smile.

"Victory!" The players all shouted and raised their tight right fists.

Then Liu Wufeng watched the team members get off the warship and set off in a small boat.

The red sunset scattered on the sea, shining with stars. Liu Wufeng's nose suddenly became sore and his eyes were a little wet. Liu Wufeng knew that it was really not easy to complete this task.

Wang Qianli and others took a boat to a place not far from Tsushima Island, and it became dark. Then the members of the special team got off the boat and started swimming.

Because of swimming, Wang Qianli and the others could not carry long weapons, and the flintlock rifle was also afraid of water entering, so they needed to prepare well.

Heavy and medium-sized flintlock rifles are no longer used, so they can only choose short flintlock rifles, and the weapons are also thin and light short knives. In addition, a waterproof leather bag was specially sewn for each flintlock rifle, and the short flintlock rifle and ammunition were loaded, solving the problem of carrying short flintlock rifles. However, because it takes time to take it out, Wang Qianli and the others cannot use short flintlock rifles as soon as possible. Of course, they only carry explosives once and want to blow up the entire fleet.

After completing the task, they evacuate. The generals and troops lead the army to fight. This is to ensure victory, but they also need to bring as many soldiers home safely as possible. Therefore, qualified generals must set a preset retreat before each military operation.

The general will never launch any military operation that knows how to die. In addition to morale considerations, there is also the issue of commander honor.

This team went to a surprise attack, not to die. Although the surprise attack mission was very dangerous, they must consider retreating. There was only one retreat, and it was necessary to seize the ships in the port and escape.

As a preparatory plan, the boats will also wait outside the port, preparing to respond if the surprise attack fails. However, if this happens, the surprise attackers will basically be wiped out.

"Okay! Go into the water now. Remember! Just follow the training! Ermeng, you row back immediately, you no longer need you here." Wang Qianli reminded him at last.

"But let's wait to answer yours." Ermeng immediately decided.

"If we can't grab the boat, do you think we will swim over the boat?" Wang Qianli said with a smile: "When the sky is dawn, the ships from the port are chasing out. You can't run away. Also, we snatched the boats and were not ready to come back. We just went straight into the sea, otherwise the boat was stranded on the shore and returned it to the island devils for nothing. But no matter what, the island devils are still done."

"But the captain didn't make such arrangements?" Ermeng said again.

"You don't know about the captain's mother-in-law? I'm the commander here, and I'll listen to me."

"Pu" "Pu" and "Pu...", sixty members jumped into the water one after another. Only one sailor grabbed a team member who was going to attack, kept opening the conditions to tempt him to change positions. Wang Qianli shouted softly: "What are you still rubbing?" The team member made a face at the sailor and also jumped out of the water with a "pun". Seeing that everyone had set off, Wang Qianli pulled the leather bag tied to his back and finally got into the water.

Until he watched Wang Qianli and the others travel around, Ermeng whispered: "Go back!" He looked at Wang Qianli again and blessed: "You must win!"

There were more than thirty ships staying in the dark Tsubasa Harbor, and on the open deck of this ship, there were artillery cannons!

There are gun positions on the side of the ship, and there are more than a dozen artillery of different sizes on each side.

A sailor who was on the deck was also dozing off. This is Tsubasa Port, which is a very safe place, so there was only one person on the boat to stay at night. But now the captain is also resting in the cabin, so why don’t you take the opportunity to be lazy.

A few light sounds sounded on the side of the ship, and they were thrown up by several flying grabs, but the sailor who was at night was sleeping heavily and did not notice the movement at all. The bow and stern of the ship were hung with lanterns to avoid the ships from touching each other, so the sight on the deck was still very clear. Therefore, when many black shadows climbed onto the ship along the flying grab rope, they saw the sailor leaning in the corner at a glance.

Several people came over quietly with their waists. They covered the sailor's mouth and wiped it with a knife around his neck. The sailor's neck immediately twitched and fell on the deck.

The dozen people had a clear division of labor. Several continued to patrol the deck with their waists. The others untied the cloth bags behind them, took out the short flintlock rifle, pressed the ammunition, and lit the fuse. Then they immediately surrounded the entrance of the cabin and prepared for the battle.

Seeing that his team members were ready, Wang Qianli took a few people to the side of the ship to observe. He ordered the people around him: "When they saw those ships caught fire, they would deal with the island devils in the cabin. And let the ship immediately raise the anchor and raise the sails. When they come back, we will leave here."

Wang Qianli and his friends' surprise attack was: first take away a ship and prepare a retreat, then blow it up, burn some warships, and then these warships can ignite all the ships anchored in the port.

At this moment, it seemed particularly long, and the people on the side of the boat were waiting anxiously. Suddenly, someone on the closest boat held the lit fuse and drew a few circles. The team members around Wang Qianli shouted excitedly: "Captain Wang, they are going up."

But Wang Qianli did not stretch his eyebrows, so he immediately changed his eyes and pointed at the other ship he had scheduled. Time passed by minute by minute, and Wang Qianli felt that his lips were about to be bitten to pieces. When he was a little suffocated, he waited until someone on the ship was drawing circles with a fuse. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: "Action!"

The team members around Wang Qianli also raised the lit fuse and drew circles: "Room" and a series of loud noises, and flames immediately rose from the rows of warships!

The team members who set fire immediately jumped into the sea and swam towards Wang Qianli's boat with all their might.

Such a loud explosion and fire immediately attracted the attention of the dock and other ships. The port gradually became riot. The island Japanese yelled and shouted in birds, "The gunpowder exploded, put out the fire!" At this point, they just thought it was the gunpowder explosion on the ship, and accidentally caught fire. They didn't know that it was Wang Qianli and the others' surprise attack. So no one suspected the swimming team members. They thought it was the sailors on the fired ship jumping into the sea to escape.

The noise at the port became louder and louder, which soon affected Wang Qianli's ship. The sailors on the ship also woke up from their dreams, and they rushed to the deck in a hurry to see what was going on on their ship. But the sailors who rushed in the front stopped as soon as they left the cabin, but when they were hit by the sailors behind, they immediately overturned. At this time, the sailors who left the cabin saw clearly that a group of people had lined up and aimed at them with a short flintlock rifle with a black hole.
