0483 Target New Island
After Zheng Zhilong personally visited the fort on the top of the mountain, he felt that the fort was very solid! It could resist attacks from both land and sea. As long as this fort was there, outsiders would not dare to attack the bay easily. So Zheng Zhilong simply
He occupied the new island as an important supply point and resting place for his battle against Liu Pei. After all, starting from the new island to search the sea is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive than starting from Nagasaki and Fujian. Moreover, the cottages and barracks here are spacious enough.
Can accommodate resting pirates.
The clipper boat easily split the waves and sailed quickly on the sea. The person driving the boat was obviously very familiar with the surrounding sea areas, and almost used the fastest speed of the boat. After sailing for a day and a night, he finally got together with a group of sailors.
The fleets gathered together. This fleet was Liu Pei's first fleet.
After the clipper ship merged with the fleet, the man who was looking for the rope under the cliff was immediately taken aboard Liu Pei's ship. Liu Pei had fallen asleep at this time, but the guard still woke him up. Because Liu Pei had previously
He was told that once the clipper ship comes back, he must be woken up at any time.
After being woken up, Liu Pei put on his clothes and ordered the guards to bring the person in. As soon as the person entered the door, he saluted Liu Pei and said: "The Intelligence Bureau, Luo Yan, salutes the commander!"
Liu Pei waved his hand to signal him to bow, and asked with a bit of urgency: "How is the situation on the new island?"
Luo Yan stood up straight and said: "Commander, I have seen all the mountains I went up with my brothers. Now the new island has become Zheng Zhilong's camp! There are people living in the cottage and in the barracks at the dock.
A lot of people were involved and it became a mess!"
Liu Pei perked up after hearing this and said, "How many boats are there in the bay? How many people are resting on the shore?"
Luo Yan recalled: "When I was checking, there were nine boats in the bay. There were about seven or eight hundred people on the entire island, including the people guarding the island!"
Liu Pei asked seriously: "Have they occupied the fort? Have they placed any artillery?"
Luo Yan said with certainty: "They occupied the fort! And they also installed three cannons in it! It looks very heavy! But there are relatively few gunners in the fort, and they are very lazy. When we went to investigate,
More than a dozen people slept very soundly! No one was sent to keep watch at all!"
Liu Pei laughed when he heard the news, and then asked: "So, did they send a sentry ship outside the bay? How many sentry ships were sent?"
Luo Yan said: "I lay on the edge of the cliff and watched! They only sent one sentry ship. It was just too far away and the little one couldn't see clearly the people on their ship keeping watch."
The smile on Liu Pei's face deepened and she said: "In your opinion, the person on the island is Zheng Zhilong
Are there more people or are there more allies?"
Luo Yan said in embarrassment: "Commander, this little guy really can't tell the difference! I eavesdropped on their conversation at the back of the barracks for a while. What is certain is that the more than 100 people responsible for guarding this island are Zheng Zhilong's men!
I can’t figure out the others!”
In the following time, Luo Yan was questioned repeatedly by Liu Pei for almost a quarter of an hour! Finally, Liu Pei said: "Luo Yan, if you are asked to lead people to seize the fort from the cliff, are you sure?"
Luo Yan thought about it carefully and said with certainty: "Go back to the Marshal, no problem. But I have to bring at least eight people to get in, and they all have to be from our Intelligence Bureau!"
Liu Pei slapped her hands and said, "Okay! That's it for today! You go and have a rest, and the credit will be recorded for now."
Luo Yan was overjoyed and exited the room after hearing what Liu Pei said. After Luo Yan exited, Liu Pei felt even more energetic! He stood up and walked back and forth in the room with his clothes on. He walked back and forth on the floor for ten minutes.
After a few laps, he suddenly stopped and shouted: "Come here! Inform everyone to come to my place for a meeting!"
Liu Pei's order was a bit abrupt. However, it was already close to the early morning, and the people who came to the meeting only got up a little earlier than usual. So Liu Pei's room was soon filled with people.
At this time, Liu Pei had already put on his clothes. When he saw everyone gathered, he said: "Everyone, we are going to have a big operation soon! I named this plan, the Volcano Project! The Volcano Project was created by
The intelligence bureau planned the operation, and the target of the operation is Nishima!"
When the officers below heard what Liu Pei said, they immediately caused a slight commotion. Since Liu Pei abandoned the new island, Liu Pei has also informed everyone about the situation on the new island. Everyone knows that the new island has been occupied by Zheng Zhilong
.But they don’t know what the specific situation is. But if they can recapture the new island, it will definitely be a blow to Zheng Zhilong.
Liu Pei was very satisfied when he saw everyone's eager faces. Then he said: "Everyone knows that the new island is occupied by Zheng Zhilong. But the purpose of our battle is not to recapture the new island. Because now our strength is compared with Zheng Yiguan
It is much weaker, so we can only rely on this kind of maritime guerrilla warfare to fight Zheng Yiguan. If we re-occupy the new island, it will provide Zheng Yiguan with a target. This is not good for us.
of."
"So our combat goal this time is to annihilate all the enemies on the new island as much as possible, and then evacuate the new island. If there is not enough time, we will also annihilate some of the enemies on the new island! The lowest goal is to burn down the enemy's anchorage
All the ships on the new island! Now Luo Yan from the Intelligence Bureau will introduce to everyone the ships on the new island.
specific situation."
When Luo Yan heard Liu Pei's words, she immediately stood up and saluted everyone. Then she said: "This is Luo Yan from the Intelligence Bureau. He has just returned from investigating the new island. Let me introduce the situation of the new island to you."
In fact, Luo Yan has brought people to the island for reconnaissance more than once. Therefore, he knows the situation on the new island very well. Now he introduced the situation he detected to everyone present in detail. Finally, Luo Yan said: "The specific situation is these
Okay. If you have anything unclear when you are making plans later, you can always ask me."
After saying this, Luo Yan withdrew from the crowd and stood against the bulkhead. Luo Yan's style of only providing intelligence and not participating in other matters was passed down from Liu Jiang. It has now become a tradition in the Intelligence Bureau.
After receiving detailed information, the people in the cabin began to quickly outline the plan. Soon, a preliminary plan was formed. However, there were four difficulties that could not be solved in the entire plan.
The first point is how to deal with the fort? There are three heavy guns on the fort. Once it is hit by a ship, the losses will be heavy.
The second point is how to deal with the sentry ships outside the bay? Now it seems that it is impossible to deal with the sentry ships silently. If there is no other way, we have to force it.
The third point is how to deal with the military camp on the dock. There are many pirates stationed in the military camp now. As long as the sentry ship or fort issues an alarm, the pirates in the military camp will quickly board the ship. It will be very troublesome to seize or burn the ship.
!Maybe it will be a tough battle!
The fourth point is how to attack the mountain stronghold? Zheng Zhilong will definitely strengthen the defense after occupying the mountain stronghold. The hillside is steep, and it is difficult to transport cannons up. If you attack the mountain stronghold without the support of cannons, you will have to pay for it with human lives!
Just when everyone was discussing these four difficulties, Liu Pei knocked on the table, stopped everyone talking, and said with a smile: "Luo Yan, you can lift the lid!"
Luo Yan took a step forward and said: "Of the four problems you just raised, our Intelligence Bureau can solve two! You have to find your own solutions to the other two."
People in the room were somewhat unconvinced when they heard what Luo Yan said! Everyone felt that your Intelligence Bureau was just a sneaky department. How could it possibly solve the problems on the battlefield?
Luo Yan seemed to have seen everyone's thoughts. He held his head high and said: "The first problem is the problem of the fort. It is actually easy to solve! After evacuating the new island, our intelligence agency arranged a camouflage road on the cliff.
Chapter completed!
