Chapter 15 Sneak Attack Plan (2)

"Mr. Li!" Wang Meng boarded the troop transport ship where Li Dequan was and saluted after seeing Li Dequan.

"Oh, I don't know what to do with Mr. Li?" Li Dequan replied.

"It's like this, Admiral Zhang, let me see how the brothers are preparing. If so, even if it is proposed, the adults will find a way to solve it." Wang Meng said as he quickly swept the entire ship, including the loaded supplies and the situation of the soldiers.

"Please tell Lord Zhang, the official, please thank you for your concern. We are all ready here, just wait for Lord Zhang!" Li Dequan said to Wang Meng.

"So, I'll tell you to the Lord now! Goodbye!" Wang Meng said.

"No!" Li Dequan said.

After Wang Meng left, a battalion officer came to Li Dequan's side.

"Sir, I think this person is a little suspicious. I guess he came up to check our situation!"

"You said right. He came to see our situation. With Zhang Yunfei's cunning, he couldn't not see it. Fortunately, we all thought about bringing enough equipment before we came, and it looked like we were going out to fight! This was the only way to confuse Zhang Yunfei. The central hall said that if he disobeyed, we would get rid of him immediately. If Zhang Yunfei agreed to go, he would definitely run away halfway. He sent someone to come here at this time, and he made up his mind to escape. But no matter how cunning he was, Zhang Yunfei would never have thought that our killer move would come soon!" After saying that, Li Dequan smiled treacherously.

"Can you tell your subordinates so that you can rest assured!" said the camp official.

"What are you afraid of?" Li Dequan asked.

"Sir, think about it! Who is Zhang Yunfei? The queen mother's beloved nephew! She is so arrogant that the master of the central hall dares to deal with him blatantly, let alone us little people. If we fail, we are not human beings, and no one will let us go!" The camp official said his heart.

Li Dequan also felt it was reasonable, so he said:

"The Lord Zhongtang had already thought of it, and had already planned it. A fleet of Chilean Navy will come to the military port later. The commander of Chile will invite Zhang Yunfei to board the ship and send us a signal to inform us that at that time, we will bring a pair of elites on board the ship to secretly detain Zhang Yunfei, and then through Zhang Yunfei's orders, we will send our brothers to the Nanyang Navy warship, control the naval officers and soldiers, and wait for the sea, where should we go, whether to live or die, it is not our final say."

"The Zhongtang's plan is so clever, I admire it! Then how can we report it?" said the camp officer happily.

"Of course I'm reporting that Zhang Yunfei has been loyal to the country, haha!" Li Dequan laughed.

"Haha!" The battalion officer also laughed.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------�

Boom! Boom! Outside the sea of ​​Wusongkou, several warships are undergoing shell inspections, with only the sound of cannons, but no explosion sounds.

"Mr. Lin, these are all ammunitions that have just been collected from the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau. Not to mention the rust, many of them are duds. No wonder Mr. Zhang said that he must check it. If he goes out of the sea, if he encounters an enemy ship, he will have no place to cry!" said a deputy general of the artillery test.

"Yes! The adults are indeed far-sighted and think about their subordinates everywhere. These should be what we subordinates should think of!" Li Jianzhang said.

"Yes! I am far-sighted, and I admire you, but who would have thought that such a thing would happen in my family?" said the deputy general. How could they know Zhang Yunfei's idea? During the Yellow Sea War, the Beiyang Navy's flowering bullets and torpedoes were placed in the warehouse of the Weihaiwei Base. When fighting with the Japanese Navy, the shells hit but did not explode. How many opportunities were missed? Zhang Yunfei thought that Nanyang was not much better than Beiyang, so he deliberately reminded that this was related to Zhang Yunfei's life. How could he not be serious?

"Haha, watch here, I'll go back and report to the Lord!" Lin Jianzhang said with a smile.

"Yes! Don't worry, sir!" said the deputy general.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------�

In the yamen, Zhang Yunfei was listening to Wang Meng's report at this time.

"Sir, my subordinates went to Li Dequan's ship to observe. They were well prepared. All the soldiers were equipped with Martini rifles, and they were also bulging. In addition, they also saw six 75mm Krupp camp cannons, two 5-barrel rotary cannons of Hakis, and four-barrel continuous bead cannons (Nordenfei multi-barrel arrangement machine gun, GatlingGun is also translated as Gatling machine gun). They were very ammunition, and they seemed to be going to fight, but the soldiers' expressions were very calm. They might not know that they were going to attack Japan Island this time." Wang Meng told Zhang Yunfei what he saw and speculated.

After hearing this, Zhang Yunfei felt relieved. As long as they didn't get off the troop transport ship, Zhang Yunfei was on the warship and what he wanted was not his final say!

At this time, Lin Jianzhang came in.

"Sir, you expected it well. We checked the ammunition. A large part of the ammunition we have brought back these days has problems." Lin Jianzhang said.

"Oh, hehe, that's true!" Zhang Yunfei smiled and said to himself: 'Thanks to be careful, otherwise, if I had arrived at the sea like this, what's the difference between feeding turtles? The Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau is also amazing. Now that there are wars, they are still doing things at this time? Hi, it's really unreasonable."

So Zhang Yunfei said, "Let's do this, Zengrong and Shenchen will go to the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, take my warrant and Li Hongzhang's transfer order to get supplies. As long as it is good, the brothers will go to sea to fight. This equipment is a life-saving guy, and you must not lose it!"

When Lin Jianzhang heard this, he was very moved and hurriedly said, "Sir, treat the brothers of Nanyang like this, all the brothers of the Nanyang Navy will thank you! I will thank you for all my brothers first!"

Zhang Yunfei was very happy to see that this could win people's hearts, so he said, "No, it's related to the lives of brothers. I have to take action personally to be at ease!"

Seeing that Zhang Yunfei was going to go in person, Lin Jianzhang was moved again, and he was determined to do a good job for Zhang Yunfei.

So, Zhang Yunfei ordered Lin Jianzhang to call 500 brothers, plus 100 of his own personal soldiers, and a total of 600 people rushed straight to the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau.

The 75mm Krupp Camp gun was manufactured by the German Krupp Company in 1888. It has a range of 5,000 meters. It is equipped with an ammunition truck and can load 24 rounds. There are 4 types of shells used, namely: "single-layer flower seeds", "layer flower seeds", "sub-compartment bullets", and "group bullets"

The 5-barrel rotary cannon of Haqiais, manufactured by the French Haqiais Company, has several models such as 37mm and 47mm. The Beiyang Navy's "Dingyuan" and "Zhenyuan" were equipped with this gun. During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Chinese Army also equipped the army type of this gun.

Main parameters: gun weight: 209kg (37mm) 578kg (47mm), fire rate: 60 rounds/1 minute (37mm) 5 rounds/6 seconds (47mm), range: 2778 meters (37mm) 2020 meters (47mm).

Green Cannon/Ten Continents of the Monkey King Gun (Gatling Gun) is also translated as Gatling Machine Gun. It was invented by American Richard Jordan Gatling (1818-1903) in 1862. It shakes 6-10 barrels with a hand handle and rotates around the axis, and the firepower is very fierce. (Green Cannon should actually be called Green Gun. It should be the general term for guns and cannons in English. Because of this weapon's powerful power, it was after entering China.

It is translated as Green Cannon). It is the first machine gun in the world to formally equip the army. The US army officially included it in standard equipment in 1866. This weapon attracted the attention of armies of all countries around the world at that time. After being introduced to China, it was mass-produced by the Jinling Machinery Bureau in 1881. Arsenals in various places were subsequently produced. The gun played a very important role in the Sino-French War. Before the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Chinese army equipped Green Cannon on a large scale.

NordenfeldtGun, a multi-tube arrangement machine gun/four-door machine-connected gun (NordenfeldtGun), was invented by American NordenfeldtGun in 1878. Like the Green Cannon, it is actually a machine gun or machine gun. The principle is to arrange multiple barrels in parallel, turn a handle with your hand, and the bolts behind each barrel are fired in sequence, with a rate of fire of 350 rounds per minute and a range of 2,000 meters.

The Martini rifle, full name Henry Martini rifle, was named after the patent for ream rifle invented by Henry and the patent for lifting locking bolt invented by Martini. It was officially adopted by the UK in 1871, and each one was made would cost an eight shillings patent. The gun was an excellent breech rifle in the world at that time.

The Shandong Machinery Bureau built the machine by Zeng Zhaoji in 1876 and was copied in a manner. In less than two months, more than 120 machines were built, with a quality comparable to that of the British. Later, the Sichuan Machinery Bureau also manufactured it.
