Holding on to the big log is not because these people are not good at water. On the contrary, they all grew up by the sea. Everyone can swim at least 15 kilometers with bare hands, and even diving can reach less than [-] meters.The reason why they need to come over with the help of large logs is because the burden is too heavy, and those logs are mainly used for consignment of goods.

Zhang Yunfeng once calculated that there are many small ports along the coast of Java Island, and Pekalongan is just one of the larger ones.If you occupy the North Kalangan, at most it will only make it difficult for the red-haired people to transfer their materials. The red-haired people can transfer through multiple ports at the same time to solve this problem, and there are less restrictions on their landing troops.In fact, the most deadly thing for the red-haired people is not the port but the ships. Now more than [-]% of the small transport ships and merchant ships of the red-haired people are gathered in the port of Pekalongan. If they can all be captured or destroyed, this can really hit the red-haired people. Hairy people.

There are not many deep-water ports along the coast of Java Island, and it is difficult for those large transport ships to enter the port to unload directly.If these transshipment boats are lost, the red-haired people's material transportation will be greatly slowed down, which is very effective in reducing Liu Bozhao's combat pressure.Therefore, Liu Yuan and other talents were required to bring a large amount of explosives and approach the port by swimming to perform special operations.

Chapter 274 Underwater Demolition

On both sides of the main channel of Pekalongan, there are many jagged reefs, which is one of the reasons why this place cannot allow large ships to enter and exit, so it was abandoned.Liu Yuan's task is very simple, that is to blow up the reefs on both sides and let them all roll down into the main channel.It was now low tide, and the channel was originally very narrow. Once the reefs on both sides rolled down, the port would be temporarily closed.

Liu Yuan and others had been trained in blasting, but this was the first time they had done underwater blasting.The explosives brought today are all equipped with electric detonators. This is the latest product of Nakagawa Arsenal, and it is also the first in the world.In order to keep the explosives moisture-proof, they also specially wrapped the explosives with pig urine foam to prevent moisture.

Zhang Yunfeng was not sure about the underwater blasting either, but Liu Yuan and others did a few experiments and found that there was no major problem, and finally made a final decision on the battle plan.The first underwater blasting battle in the history of world war will start here.

Liu Yuan led people closer to the outer edge of the main channel. At this time, the town was completely dark, only a dozen torches were planted on the pier because the goods still needed to be moved, and as for the sea, it was completely invisible.Taking advantage of the firelight on the pier, Liu Yuan carefully picked off all the pig urine bubbles hanging on the driftwood.After they selected a location nearby, they first connected the electric detonator to the wire, then tied the pig urine bubble tightly, and placed it in the crack of the reef.

The speed of this action is very fast, everyone did it together, and it only took 10 minutes to complete it.Liu Yuan checked it himself and found that there was nothing wrong. He nodded and told everyone to retreat immediately.The commandos all speeded up and swam for thousands of meters before stopping.Seeing that his own people had all withdrawn, Liu Yuan rolled his body behind the driftwood.Due to the limited length of the wire, it is impossible for him to be too far away from the reef. In order not to be hurt by the blasted gravel, Liu Yuan had to rely on driftwood for protection.Fortunately, the driftwood was thick enough to cover Liu Yuan's figure.

After calculating that the time was almost up, Liu Yuan gritted his teeth and pressed the ignition device, a current flowed along the wire, and soon detonated the electric detonator.With the detonation of the electric detonator, the explosives wrapped in the pig urine foam also exploded.A huge roar resounded through the quiet night sky, and the flames scattered around along with the blasted rocks. The huge rocks on both sides of the main channel rolled down rumbled because they lost their bottom support.Everyone on the pier stopped their work and looked at the red glow rising from the sea in astonishment.

A Madura officer who was supervising the work of the laborers saw the red light, and his face immediately changed color: "No, someone blew up the reef in the main channel." Purpose.However, it was too late for this person to warn. As the explosion sounded, violent explosions sounded in front of various important places near Pekalongan.This is the grenade launcher that the East Zhaini Self-Defense Forces sneaked into the position in the dark and placed in front of the front line of the Madura soldiers. At this time, they immediately began to show their power when they heard the signal.

The Madura soldiers were caught off guard, and were soon occupied by the East Zhaini Self-Defense Forces who attacked at night.But these Madura people are not easy to mess with. After the initial panic, they immediately launched a counterattack.At night, the sight of the two sides was unclear, and it was difficult for rifle shooting to be effective. In addition, the distance between the two sides was too close, and hand-to-hand combat soon began.

Madura's nature is martial arts, and he is extremely fierce in fights. Although most of Zhang Yunfeng's troops are Javanese, they have also undergone rigorous training these days.Coupled with the command of Hualan officers, their combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.Although the Javanese were still somewhat inferior to the Maduras, they were superior in their numbers, and they played brilliantly against the Maduras when they saw red bayonets.

The two sides fought fiercely on various hilltops, and positions everywhere were in a hurry.The outer positions of Pekalongan are very important. Once the opponent fully occupies them, the Madura people who are compressed into the port area will be at a loss. Therefore, the Madura army has to reinforce the various positions from the port.

The Madura reinforcements rushed to the hills continuously, and the port area was suddenly short of troops. The Javanese who were captured to do hard labor saw that they were unattended and stopped working.The dense gunshots all around were getting closer and closer. These people did not dare to run around, they could only find a solid bunker to hide, and waited for the fate to come in panic.

The strength of the Madura people was tight, and they didn't care about the explosion on the sea. All the troops began to concentrate towards the outer positions.Seeing that no one came to search, the commandos hidden in the distant sea quickly approached the main channel again.

Liu Yuan just woke up from a coma. The explosion just now was so powerful that the debris was blocked by driftwood, but the huge shock wave still stunned him.Fortunately, Liu Yuan knew the situation was dangerous, so he clasped the driftwood tightly with both hands, and didn't let go even when he was unconscious, so he was not drowned by the sea.

After waking up, Liu Yuan moved slightly, and he felt a sharp pain in his left arm.Looking down, he realized that there was a bloody wound on his shoulder.It is probably because the rubble kicked up by the explosives scratched the unshielded skin, and the tearing wound was caused due to the irregular shape of the stone and the high speed.

If it was normal, such a wound would not be so painful. The key is that the salt in the sea water invaded the wound. It is estimated that he woke up so quickly and this wound is also related.Regardless of treating the wound, Liu Yuan, who heard the dense gunshots, stood up and observed the surrounding situation with the help of the buoyancy of the big wood. The jagged rocks on both sides of the main channel had collapsed.The main channel seems to be much wider, but in fact the bottom of the sea is covered with gravel. At this time of low tide, it may be difficult for even a small boat of [-] to [-] tons to pass.

Many commandos swam over, and seeing the blood on Liu Yuan's shoulder, everyone was very worried.The accompanying military doctor immediately opened the first aid kit and sprinkled Cochin Baiyao on his wound.In order to prevent the powder from being washed away by the sea, several team members helped lift Liu Yuan's arm, so that the military doctor could quickly apply the powder and fasten it tightly with a waterproof bandage.

After the wound was treated, Liu Yuan felt much better. He nodded to the military doctor and said that there was no problem. Then he said to the team members: "Brothers, the task has been successfully completed, and we can go back. Now we have two options, The first is to swim back to report the situation. This option seems too boring. The second is to swim into the harbor. Now the outer battle is going on. I think there is pressure from a large army, and the Madura people will concentrate all their forces on Resisting Commander Liu's army on the outside, the port must be very empty. If we enter the port and make some noise at this time, the Madura people will definitely panic. They can't see the truth in such a dark day, as long as we make the noise If it shakes the morale of the Madura army, their outlying positions will inevitably be broken through."

Chapter 275 Arson Everywhere

Liu Yuan explained his thoughts, and then looked at everyone around him.The commandos are all elite Hualan people selected from thousands of miles. They are all outstanding in skills and tactics during training, bold and careful, and no one cares about danger.They had no objection to Liu Yuan's analysis. After a vote, everyone unanimously agreed to go to the harbor and use the weapons in their hands to disturb the enemy's morale and create opportunities for large troops.

Under the leadership of Liu Yuan, more than 20 commandos took advantage of the night and marched towards the harbor.Now that there is no one guarding them, the laborers have already dispersed. Although there are many torches on the pier, there is no one in sight.

The commandos boarded the deserted pier and immediately checked the surrounding environment in groups.After making sure that there were no enemy sentries nearby, everyone gathered again. "It seems that all the troops of the Madura people have been transferred to the front line. Now the city is very empty. This is a good opportunity for us to show our talents. Let's talk about how we can make the noise bigger."

"Let's set fires everywhere, and the enemy will know about it soon." A team member suggested, but just as he said it, someone refuted: "How can it be done? This place will be ours in the future, so we should do as little damage as possible. Take down the opponent's headquarters."

Liu Yuan said from the side: "It's unrealistic to take away the headquarters. We are too small to deal with the guards of the enemy's headquarters. What's more, this chaotic night battle state is fighting on its own, and the headquarters was taken away. If we don’t know for a while, it will be difficult to achieve the effect we need.”

After pondering for a moment, Liu Yuan said: "Let's light the fire, it will be effective quickly. This place will be rebuilt in the future, so it doesn't matter if you lose some temporarily. Everyone, hurry up and collect any available firelighters nearby, and start to act in 10 minutes. "

Many commandos dispersed and looked around the pier for fire starters.There were a lot of military supplies and other goods piled up on the pier, and everyone quickly found a lot of ammunition and weapons, but it was really dangerous for these things to ignite, and they might even blow themselves up inside.

A team member soon made a new discovery. He didn't know if it was a backlog of goods. He actually found several large barrels of olive oil and a lot of palms.These things are the best fire starters. Each of the commandos carried a large jar of olive oil soaked in palms on their backs. After assigning tasks, they ran towards various points in the city in groups of three.

Liu Yuan also led two team members to run on the narrow street. At this time, there was a big battle on the periphery. The residents of the city had already escaped from Madura's army and they all went to the front line to resist, so there was no one on the street.No one stopped on the street, Liu Yuan and others quickly arrived at the center of the city.Because his route is too far, some groups have already started to launch.The fire broke out in the west of the city first, and a bright pillar of fire sprang up from the street, illuminating a large area, and it was very conspicuous in the dark night sky.

Liu Yuan did not expect that when the fire ignited, a street nearby suddenly became chaotic.His heart sank, and he waved his hand to stop the team members who were about to pour oil on the fire, and let them follow him to that street.

A figure flashed across the street, and several Madura fighters with guns ran towards the place where the fire started, yelling, apparently to check the situation.The situation quickly exceeded the expectations of the Madura people, and obviously they did not expect it to be so serious.Fires broke out in various places in the city, and these Madura people began to panic, and soon many small teams went around to check the situation.

Liu Yuan led the two of them to hide in the shadows, secretly observing each other's actions.Now that the troops in the city are tight, it is obviously important that so many soldiers can gather here.They got closer and observed carefully, and Liu Yuan found that there were many Madura officers coming in and out, and there were dozens of horses in the yard.

On an island like Java that does not produce horses, it is not easy to gather so many horses. This is obviously for the cavalry signal soldiers to quickly deliver messages.Based on this, Liu Yuan can be sure that this is a headquarters of the Madura people, and even the largest headquarters.

Liu Yuan and the other two made up their minds, and they decided to use one guy to take down the command post, so as to make the enemy more confused.Now most of the guards here have been dispatched to deal with the fires in the city, and there are not many guards in the headquarters.

This situation cannot be blamed on the misjudgment of the commander of the Madura Army. When the front line is tight, there should be no abnormalities in the city, because this will seriously shake the morale of the army.It is precisely because of this consideration that the commander of the Madura Army risked the weak security force and sent many people to check the situation and put out the fire, which gave Liu Yuan a chance of success.

After hiding the oil tank used for arson, he gently untied the oilcloth bag on his back, and Liu Yuan took out a Mauser pistol, magazines, six grenades and a short knife from the bag.Because they came by swimming, they wrapped the weapons in oilcloth bags to prevent them from entering the water, and only took them out when they needed to use them.

After re-arming himself, Liu Yuan led someone to touch the enemy headquarters.The two people he brought were from Hualan, one was called Qi Feng, and the other was their military doctor. It was because everyone was worried about Liu Yuan's injury that the military doctor was assigned to a group with him.The three cooperated skillfully, taking advantage of the shadows between the houses to approach the gate quietly.

"Captain, there seem to be too many people, the three of us are not enough." Qi Feng approached, at this time they looked into the yard from the gate, and soon saw many soldiers.These soldiers had always been in the yard, and because of the dim light, they were not discovered until this time.Seeing so many people, Qi Feng couldn't help but gasp.

It's no wonder that Qi Feng retreated, they were just commandos, not Chen Hu's gang of animals, if they were one to five, they were barely competent, if they were ten to a hundred, they would be sent to death.

"The city is in such chaos now, and the enemy's troops are already intertwined with our team members. Where can we find them?" Liu Yuan said, "Besides, the situation ahead is unknown. It's not here."

"I have an idea." The military doctor pondered for a moment and said, "We can create chaos."

"What kind of chaos method?" Liu Yuan's eyes lit up, and he asked immediately.

The military doctor laughed and said, "Don't we have oil for arson? As long as we light a fire near the headquarters and burn it to their headquarters, these people won't panic? Let's take advantage of the chaos and make trouble."

Chapter 276 Entering in Disguise

"That's right, but we need to plan carefully, and we must make the plan detailed and make no mistakes." Liu Yuan's face was serious.

Qi Feng also nodded and said: "I think it's feasible. There are a lot of Madura soldiers coming in and out now. We can rob two people. We just need to change into their clothes so that we can get in when there is chaos." These people also How dare you think of such a dangerous way to go deep into the tiger's den.

As soon as the three of them got together, they split up and acted immediately. The military doctor moved all three oil tanks to hide them, while Liu Yuan and Qi Feng were responsible for arresting the Madura soldiers and seizing the opponent's uniforms and weapons.A Madura soldier who seemed to be delivering a letter hurried towards another street, but just as he turned the corner, a big hand stretched out from the shadows and covered his mouth and nose from behind.

The Madura soldier was brave. He struggled desperately, trying to draw out the dagger at his waist to resist, but another black figure quickly stepped forward and stabbed a short knife into his rib first.The Madura soldiers suffered severe injuries and could not move after a few steps on their legs.

Seeing that the soldier was dead, Liu Yuan let go of his hand a little, and then dragged the corpse into the shadows. "Who told you to stab him in the ribs, look at how you can wear such a large amount of blood on the clothes." Liu Yuan complained and took off the corpse's clothes.

"I'm sorry Captain, I forgot in a moment of anxiety, next time I will definitely wipe my neck." Qi Feng said with a chuckle.

"And next time? You wear this bloody dress." Liu Yuan rolled his eyes at him and said.

The smile on Qi Feng's face suddenly turned into a wry smile: "No way, captain. They will find me wearing this clothes."

"Then what should we do? We don't have much time, so we need to gather enough clothes quickly." Liu Yuan said.

Qi Feng nodded: "I promise to get three more clothes as soon as possible, we don't want this one."

"That won't work." Liu Yuan turned his eyes and said, "Don't you speak Madura? You quickly put on this dress and wander around. If you lure a few soldiers over, we'll have enough. Remember to quote one by one, lest you can't deal with it."

"Okay, I'll give it a try." Qi Feng had no choice but to agree when he heard that he didn't need to wear bloody clothes when sneaking into the headquarters.

Qi Feng was quite tall, and the clothes of the short Madura soldiers were too small for him, which made it very uncomfortable for him to wear.Even so, Qi Feng managed to put his clothes on, picked up the soldier's old Mauser rifle, and started shaking it on the street.

Seeing a Madura soldier who seemed to be going to relieve himself, he deliberately pretended to be limping and yelled at him, as if he was injured and needed help from him.The soldier ran over immediately when he saw this, but he didn't expect that he was wiped on the neck by a short knife just as he ran to the front.
