187 Mine
Half a day later, after Ye Qingshan had received this batch of new supplies.
After returning to the command center, Ye Qingshan immediately sent a telegram to Ning Yongchen, asking him to find a way to investigate the origins of the people who had robbed him of his submachine guns.
Ning Yongchen originally worked in Shanghai with the special envoy.
He has more connections in this area than Ye Qingshan.
The main reason is that Ye Qingshan is no longer himself and has long forgotten his classmates and colleagues.
Therefore, Ye Qingshan had no way of finding anyone and could only ask Ning Yongchen to do it.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter.
I have a classmate who is now working in the Secret Service.
It’s easy to check such trivial matters.”
Not long after, Ning Yongchen called back.
After reading it, Ye Qingshan ignored the matter.
Compared to the upcoming Japanese fleet that Ye Qingshan has to deal with at this time, these are all trivial matters.
At 10:30 in the morning, Lu Dahai returned escorting the first batch of new mines.
"Report to the commander, we have brought back the mines."
Lu Dahai saluted Ye Qingshan and shouted.
Behind Lu Dahai, there was a technician from the arsenal. He stepped forward, looked at Ye Qingshan and said, "Captain Ye, my name is Lu Anfu, a mine technician from the arsenal.
This first batch of mines consisted of a total of 180 mines.
I am here under the order of my teacher to teach you how to place these mines."
Ye Qingshan looked at the young man wearing glasses and nodded: "Then I'll trouble you, Technician Lu.
I will arrange for people to come and learn from you how to use these mines."
Ye Qingshan didn't dare to delay on this matter.
A group of soldiers were immediately selected to follow Lu Anfu and learn how to place and deploy these new types of mines.
Ye Qingshan was also nearby and watched for a while.
Fortunately, the deployment and use of this new type of mine is relatively convenient.
When Mr. Zhang was designing the improvements, he took into account the capabilities of the soldiers on the National Army side.
Therefore, the steps for deployment and use are not made too complicated.
It is somewhat similar to the fool-proof operation of various electronic products in later generations.
It's easy to learn.
On the afternoon of the 19th, Ye Qingshan set out with several ferries and the 180 mines, ready to drop them into the downstream waters.
"Sea, you said,
If you were the commander of the Japanese battleship and came to our place.
How will they cut off our transportation lines?"
On the way, Ye Qingshan had been thinking about how to arrange these 180 new pressure mines.
Find an opportunity, Ye Qingshan asked Lu Dahai.
“Commander Ye, I don’t know.
I don’t know how to command a battleship.”
Lu Dahai shook his head and said sincerely.
"Hey!"
Ye Qingshan also sighed at Lu Dahai's realistic answer.
What I lack right now is a smart officer like Zhou Pingkou.
If I had known earlier, it would be better to bring Zhou Xinghai here instead of bringing those two idiots Lu Dahai and Wang Dachuan.
"Commander Ye, I know."
As a result, Wang Dachuan next to him couldn't help but raise his hand to speak.
He looked so excited as if he was very smart and asked me questions.
But Ye Qingshan didn't expect Wang Dachuan to give him any reliable ideas.
Because this guy is stubborn and has a straight heart. His principle is to just do it when something happens. Anyone who is timid is a fool.
Therefore, Ye Qingshan would rather ask Lu Dahai than ask this guy Wang Dachuan.
However, when Ye Qingshan saw Wang Dachuan, he actively asked to speak.
Ye Qingshan didn't want to discourage other people's enthusiasm, so he just listened to him.
So Ye Qingshan smiled and said, "Okay, be bold, come and tell me.
If you were the commander of the Japanese warship, how would you attack us after you got here, and how would you cut off our supply line on the river? "
Wang Dachuan was happy now, holding the railing of the boat, pointing at the vast river and the Xiaguan Ferry in the distance, and said to Ye Qingshan proudly: "Damn it.
If I had a warship, I would definitely come here directly.
They launched a fierce bombardment on the Xiaguan Ferry, blew up the dock and destroyed all the ferries.
By then, everything will be solved.
What's so difficult about this?
Commander Ye, you are overthinking the problem.
After hearing what Wang Dachuan said, Ye Qingshan was obviously stunned, as if he suddenly understood something and fell into deep thought.
After hearing Wang Dachuan's idea, Lu Dahai, who was standing next to him, rolled his eyes and said with disdain, "Wang Dadan, what a bullshit idea.
I know that you can't spit out ivory from your dog's mouth, so please don't mislead Chief Ye."
"hey-hey!"
Wang Dachuan touched his head and smiled awkwardly.
He also knew that he was just talking nonsense and didn't expect to be right.
"No! Bold this time, what you said actually makes some sense."
As a result, Ye Qingshan, who was thinking nearby, suddenly spoke.
This surprised Lu Dahai and Wang Dachuan.
"What? Commander Ye.
Is what he said correct?"
Lu Dahai couldn't believe it.
Wang Dachuan next to him also looked confused.
Ye Qingshan looked at the two funny guys and said with a smile: "The bold idea inspired me.
I have been thinking about how the Japanese battleship commander will cut off our river supply line once he arrives here.
I was overthinking it before.
Perhaps when the Japanese battleship commander arrives here, he will really do as he boldly said.
After all, in the eyes of the Japanese warship commanders, we have nothing on our side that can do anything to them.
They could have been unscrupulous and domineering.
It's just like you, dealing with a child, what tricks can you play?
Of course I would go up and knock him down with one punch. "
"Uh. That seems to be the case."
Lu Dahai nodded.
"In that case, I know where to lay the mines."
Ye Qingshan's eyes lit up.
Then, he marked two key water areas on the water map he had marked.
"Let's go and mine the mines here first."
Soon, Ye Qingshan and others' ferry arrived at an area of water to the left of the main channel, about ten miles downstream from the Xiaguan Ferry, and began laying mines.
“According to what the fishermen nearby told us.
This is the most suitable route to Xiaguan from the main channel of the Yangtze River.
The Japanese battleships have a deep draft, so they must choose to sail in deep waters.
First, place thirty new-type mines here."
Half an hour later, they rushed to the next mine-laid waters.
Ye Qingshan and his team were busy until after three in the afternoon before returning.
All 180 new-type mines brought back have been deployed.
It covers the downstream of Xiaguan Ferry and five water areas downstream of the opposite bank wharf.
"Tomorrow morning, Mr. Zhang and his men will send over the remaining 220 mines.
However, there is no rush to deploy this batch of mines for the time being.
Let’s wait until the Japanese warships arrive, then we’ll talk about it.”
