Chapter 322 Naval Expedition 1

However, Zhang Yu said that he returned to the military port of the White Shark Guard, met the White Shark Guard commander Bai Menghu, and told all the things he had experienced on Hammer Island. Bai Menghu made a decision and took Zhang Yu to Yu Mingjun.

Especially the news brought back by Zhang Yu, thousands of pirates in the four seas will gather on Treasure Island to seal the territory. If you can lead troops to lurk there, won't you be able to catch all these pirates? Is there no harm in this sea area?

After figured out the joints, Bai Menghu felt that this idea was absolutely feasible, but the first premise was to recover the pirate Li Dachui of Hammer Island. If there are more than a dozen pirate ships in Li Dachui's hands and hundreds of elite pirate forces, plus the [Zhenyuan] warship, it can definitely catch them all.

After arriving at Yu Mingjun's room, Bai Menghu took out the idea in his heart and got the affirmation of Yu Mingjun.

"If we want to catch all those pirates, then our strategy of taking Hammer Island needs to change. Before, we thought that the general ships would go out to attack Hammer Island and deter other pirates around us. But now we want the Treasure Island Sea Raiders Alliance after the sneak attack. Then the news of attacking Hammer Island must be guarded. And we have to make a quick decision. Yu Mingjun suddenly thought of this key problem, and Bai Menghu nodded and agreed.

After that, Bai Menghu also recommended the following Zhang Yu to Yu Mingjun. After hearing about Zhang Yu's experience, Yu Mingjun also thought it was good. And what makes Yu Mingjun feel more cordial is that this family member is a scout. Maybe others don't know that the first person in the scout of the Pingbei Army was Yu Mingjun. And he can be regarded as the first scout of the Pingbei Army, and it is also because of him that the scouts can carry forward. Although Liu Xia later divided the scouts under Yu Mingjun into two parts. One of them became the predecessors of Ying Yangwei, and the other part was scattered to the scouts in various armies. Some of the earlier scouts may die in battle at this moment, and some joined the Guards and Guards. Some have entered the Eagle Yangwei. It is also possible to recover and return home and get along with his wife and son.

But no matter what, as long as you have been a scout before, it can make Yu Mingjun feel friendly. The name of Yu Mingjun is also widely spread in the world of scouts. Many people take him as an example and strive to be strict with themselves.

Yu Mingjun praised Zhang Yu a few words and turned red with excitement, but because he was in front of Yu Mingjun, he was quite restrained. I guess if it's in private, I will definitely scream happily.

Yu Mingjun likes Zhang Yu very much, but he has no right to choose his own guard, but he can also say a few words to the commander of the guard brigade and ask them to transfer Zhang Yu to him as his personal guard. First of all, before, Zhang Yu must first enter the guard brigade, and then go to the armaments school to study before he can be assigned. This is quite troublesome. Therefore, Yu Mingjun set up a new scout detachment, which is not under the management of the White Shark Guard, but directly under the jurisdiction of the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, with Zhang Yu as the captain. This captain level is equivalent to a brigade. Zhang Yu can be said to have been promoted to several levels.

Next, according to Liu Xia's instructions, the navy should not only fight against the pirates around it, but more importantly, be able to prepare for future battles with other warlords.

Yu Mingjun also heard that in Fujian in the south, there is a powerful figure named Zheng Zhilong, whose naval strength is quite strong. And in the distant South China Sea, I heard that there are some strange aliens, and their ships are even more powerful. It is said to be a Frankman.

Previously, the Pingbei Army was also equipped with some backward Fran machine cannons, but since the development of steel cannons, those red cannons, Fran machine cannons and tiger squat guns have returned to the furnace to create copper plates.

Compared with the artillery in other places, the steel cannons used by the Pingbei Army are relatively advanced.

Yu Mingjun immediately found the generals at all levels to discuss strategies. This is the first time that their White Shark Guard has been dispatched, and a complete victory must be guaranteed. Hammer Island must be boarded.

With a purpose, the planning strategy was soon written out. At the same time, the order goes on to repair all the warships, especially the [Zhenyuan] must be filled with enough coal, and the other ships must be filled with explosives.

Early the next morning, all the ships began to be debugged. The most eye-catching is the [Zhenyuan] iron armored ship, which is really a steel monster, much bigger than the other three wooden sail warships around it, with two tall chimneys constantly emitting thick smoke.

"Continue to add coal!"

"Fuck you, hurry up and transport three trucks of coal."

"You, you can check all the muzzle again to see if there is anything broken. There can't be a problem now.

The whole military port is busy.

"[Zhenyuan] can carry the troops of one battalion, and the other three warships can carry the troops of one battalion, that is to say, the soldiers who can go can only have two battalions of soldiers and horses, a total of more than 1,000 people." The white dream tiger walked around the port with Yu Mingjun, looking at the smoking [Zhenyuan] in the harbor.

Yu Mingjun frowned and said, "What is the specific number of pirates on Hammer Island?"

Bai Menghu took out a piece of paper from his arms and only heard him read, "After all, the hammer island has been snarled for several years. The interior is almost closed to the outside world. Therefore, the specific number of people is not too accurate. However, according to the observation of the scouts, there are about 135 to 150 young and strong men who can fight on Hammer Island. As for women and children, there are almost 400 people. The population of Hammer Island is five or six hundred. This time, we will deploy two battalions, and we will definitely be able to take them down.

Bai Menghu looked confident, but Yu Mingjun was not as good as him. Yu Mingjun locked his eyebrows and said, "After all, this is our first naval battle. The soldiers and generals have no experience in naval battles before. It's better to be careful. And Zhang Yu also said that there are many organs on the hammer island, so you also need to be careful. We couldn't sacrifice too many soldiers in the past for victory, so--" Yu Mingjun said this, even the white dream tiger, who was full of confidence just now, frowned at this moment.

Victory should be able to win, but there will certainly be countless deaths and injuries. It ended with a tragic victory. If so, it's better not to go. You should know that every soldier in this white shark guard is a treasure of the navy, and it is not easy to cultivate a navy.

"Be careful of everything. First send [Jiaozhou] as a pioneer and go to test. [ Zhenyuan and two other warships will arrive later. Yu Mingjun pointed to a wooden sailboat not far away.

[Jiaozhou] is one of the three wooden sailboats. Although it is not as powerful as the [Zhenyuan] and the steel armor is thick, it is also equipped with more than a dozen cannons, which is not weak.

When the morning glow slowly rose that day, the [Zhenyuan] sailed towards the endless blue sea in the east against the red sun, followed by two wooden sailboats. As for the previous [Jiaozhou] wooden sailboat, it has set out at this moment.

But it is said that on Hammer Island, since Zhang Yu left, Li Dachui, the head of Hammer Island, immediately called up people and began to decorate the defense facilities on the island. The Pingbei Army is not an ordinary army. He Li Dachui attaches great importance to this.

And during this period, he kept sending boats to inquire about the strength of the Pingbei army and navy. However, because the navy has not been newly established, and there is almost no one around the military port, the Northern Navy has not fought or developed its strength from the beginning to the end. Naturally, they can't find out.

This makes Li Dachui anxious. Li Dachui regretted a little at this moment. If the navy of the Pingbei Army was like the combat effectiveness of the army, he believed that his soldiers and horses would not be able to keep it. If the Pingbei Army entered the island and cleaned the people on the island - thinking of this, Li Dachui's heart trembled and his face turned pale.

The people on this island are old and young, men and women, all the families of these pirates. If these people are lost, his pirate army will automatically disintegrate.

"If you surrender to the Northern Army--"

"I heard that the Pingbei navy has not been built, and there are still many people who know water warfare. According to the letter, if you can surrender, it seems that the treatment is not low. It's just that I want to be angry with his mother.
