Chapter 55, Blocking the Fleet (Happy New Year's Eve!)
Chapter 55, blocking the fleet
After waiting for a while, I heard the report from the forward speedboat that it was ready and the fleet could pass. There was also news from the rear that the following vessel had been stopped.
Ling Feng nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand, and the ship he was on was the first to sail towards Yijian Gorge.
After a while, the fleet arrived at Yijian Gorge, and the speedboats were already guarding the front and back in a small area.
The length of Yijian Gorge is only about four to five hundred meters. If there are no other ships but only one, even a merchant ship can roar through it.
But unfortunately, looking at the dozens of merchant ships blocked by speedboats on the opposite side, it is obvious that there is no need to think about this.
As soon as we passed the Yishi Gorge, we could reach Zhangxia Village in two hours of sailing at full speed, so we were about to score a goal, so naturally we would not be careless at this moment.
Seeing his ship sailing towards Yijian Gorge at a very slow speed, Ling Feng nodded with satisfaction and did not give any instructions.
The merchant ships were lined up, spaced more than ten meters apart, and one by one they slowly entered the Yijian Gorge. When the merchant ship in front was about to pass through the Yijian Gorge, the people on the speedboat suddenly shouted shrilly: "Alarm!
Alert! Watch the sky!"
The speedboats are all military speedboats, and their equipment and facilities are much higher-end than those merchant ships borrowed from merchants, so it is normal to discover something with the merchant ships first.
Ling Feng immediately rushed to the window edge, raised his head and looked at the sky in the distance. In the already bright sky, he could clearly see a group of black shadows flying quickly towards this side.
Merchant ships don't have other functions, but they do have the function of zooming in and projecting distant scenery onto the windows.
When the projection appeared, everyone was horrified and in an uproar. Ling Feng's face turned blue and white, and he roared: "This is wrong! This is impossible! How can a suspended weapon be deployed! Didn't we all agree not to resist?!"
And when the black shadow came to a distance that could be clearly distinguished by the naked eye, 50 squadron suspension vehicles, 10 company-level suspension tanks, and 3 battalion-level suspension tanks appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The first thing to panic was the merchant ship going upstream. They hurriedly sailed towards both sides of the river, turned off the engine and lowered the anchor. Then they looked at these suspended weapons with surprised faces, and then at the fleet blocked in Yijian Gorge.
, Didi was discussing.
If ordinary merchant ships are panicked, Lingfeng's fleet is panicked! They all know what they are going to do, and they also know who the floating weapons flying in that direction belong to!
At first, some people with big votes didn't take it seriously and comforted their pale-faced colleagues: "Haha, look how scared you are? What are you worried about? We are all members of the Guangwu Army, and those suspended weapons are all
We have an identification friend or foe system and will not attack us."
The pale guy rolled his eyes speechlessly: "Am I worried that the suspended weapons will attack us personally? I am worried that the suspended weapons will attack the merchant ships we are traveling on! The merchant ships are not included in the Identification Friend or Foe system!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed. It is true that the suspended weapons will not bomb the soldiers of the Guangwu Army like themselves, but the merchant ships are not within the range of attack.
There is no need to blow it up, just create a loophole. The ship will either be stranded on the side or directly sink. The soldiers like me will either huddle on the shore and wait for the military and administrative departments outside to come to take care of them, or they will swim downstream to the Zhangxia garrison area and go ashore.
.
Damn it, no matter which outcome, this expedition is over! Not to mention occupying the Zhangxia garrison area, it is God's blessing that people like myself will not be taken as prisoners!
For a while, everyone became depressed and felt powerless.
At this time, some mourning bird suddenly muttered: "It seems that we are soldiers recruited by the garrison area, right? We have not been registered by the Guangwu Army. I remember that we can receive military pay directly from the Imperial Bank. The entire Tangqiao garrison area
There are only five or six hundred people, right?”
As soon as these words came out, these soldiers thought about it carefully and it seemed that, indeed, they got their military pay from the finance department of the garrison area! It also seemed that the people who could get military pay from the Imperial Bank were all the big guys in the garrison area!
That is to say, you are not actually a soldier?
That is to say, you can be attacked by your own weapons?
When I thought of this, my face suddenly turned pale, and my thoughts couldn't help but become panicked.
If you had to soak in water and wait for containment or surrender before, now you are in danger of being killed directly! How can people calm down like this!
The officers were unclear about the changes in the mentality of the soldiers in the cabin, because after receiving the news, they all ran to the deck, pointed at the suspended weapons in the sky with ferocious expressions, and yelled curses.
No way, this is the only way to vent their anger. Of course, the most common ones are to yell at them for "illegal", "not practicing martial ethics", "treacherous" and so on.
The reason why I am so angry is because I am about to get a great achievement and a huge profit, but my god, the target of being invaded actually shows me a big killer weapon.
Already.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this battle is unwinnable and that his hopes of promotion and fortune have been shattered. What else can he do if he doesn't curse?
Ling Feng also came to the deck. He didn't yell or curse, he just looked at the sky with a dull expression.
Hearing the angry roars of his subordinates, Ling Feng waved his hands and sighed: "No one stipulates that the use of suspended weapons is prohibited, and they have not violated the ban on heavy weapons not leaving the jurisdiction. This is already the boundary of the Zhangxia garrison area.
"
"Sir, those guys in Zhangxia Village have gone too far! Didn't they clearly promise not to do anything and wait to be captured? Why did they suddenly go back on their word and take such a move! How embarrassing is this for us!" a lieutenant roared in grief and indignation.
Ling Feng knew that this lieutenant also came from a hereditary soldier family that was doing business in Zhangxia Village, and had made a lot of sacrifices for this operation just like his own Ling family.
Knowing the other party's identity and dedication, it was natural to understand why he was so sad and angry. Ling Feng was worthy of being a pioneer. He waved his hand to silence everyone, raised his arms, and dialed the communication on his watch. The others did not know who he was calling.
, all watched eagerly.
The communication was quickly connected, and Ling Feng was the first to yell: "What did you do? Are you going to break the agreement? Why did you send out all the levitating weapons?!"
"Captain Ling, I'm sorry, we have no choice but to do it ourselves. Now all the main officers in our Zhangxia garrison area are trapped in the battalion command center and cannot get out. All permissions have been temporarily blocked. Now even if we want to mobilize an infantry
Bandu has no authority anymore." A frustrated voice came from the other end of the watch.
Everyone who was still angry at first was shocked, and Ling Feng even asked eagerly: "What's going on?"
"What else can we do? Zhangxia Mamoru suddenly accepted all the authority of the Zhangxia garrison area. Now we are the ones coming to block you with suspended weapons." This word came from the other end of the communication, but I don't know why.
There is a hint of schadenfreude in it.
"Isn't it? Shouldn't this matter be hidden from the generals? And you didn't use the last resort? That is the last resort where all the captains gather together to temporarily freeze the authority of the guards!" Ling Feng was extremely dissatisfied.
