The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

Chapter 720: Red Yangtze River

In addition to the large number of slaves required for the construction of the Bashu Railway, the construction of the railway connecting Wanzhou with the Yangtze River in the south also requires a large number of slaves to participate. The construction of the southern railway is progressing slowly, and the highway is mainly responsible for transporting a large number of commodities. The cost of transporting these commodities can be seen in Qin. It is still very high. And transport a large amount of southern resources from the highway. For Qin Guo Industry, the cost is too high. This requires the State of Qin to quickly open up the railway passage from the Yangtze River in the south to the north.

A large number of industrial commodities and raw materials have accumulated in the limited railway sections in the south, especially the important transit station of the Southern Railway. Qin's arms, various industrial products, cameras, batteries, and even cars. In addition, there are various light industrial products, clothes, footwear, leather shoes, belts from Xinzheng, South Korea. And various blended fabrics and so on. A large amount of ore and copper ingots transported from the south are piled up here. It has become an important north-south cargo transfer station.

Wan's position is so important, mainly because a section of railway was built here, plus the relationship between the north-south traffic arteries. Therefore, Wan has developed into the status of a traffic transfer station in an extreme period of time. This also illustrates the importance of railways to southern transportation. Large-scale transportation can only rely on railways, and cannot rely on automobile and carriage transportation to complete.

Just when Qin Guo planned their railway and highway network step by step. The Yangtze River in the south has undergone drastic changes. This change dyed the Yangtze River red.

"Fire." The rotating two-inch artillery on a Qin State armed merchant ship quickly opened fire.

"Bang." The shells roared out, hitting a water-pirate wooden vessel in the distance that was approaching another armed merchant ship in Qin State.

A large-scale armed merchant ship of Qin State suddenly kept sailing at night and found an attack by a water pirate ship. The Qin State Armed Merchant Ship quickly adjusted its plan and began to respond.

Once armed merchant ships find a special situation, they will fire red flare to call for help. Then, other armed merchant ships entered high alert. Then, arm the merchant ship and use simple light language. When the Qin State's armed merchant ships were sailing in formation, they found that if they wanted to maintain a dense formation, they had to carry out necessary communications. But the radio is still extremely unstable at this time. Moreover, armed merchant ships cannot be equipped with radio equipment. Because that thing is too expensive for an armed merchant ship. Therefore, they are not equipped with radio. To solve this problem. They adopted the simple communication method of light language.

However, light language communication is more troublesome, because Qin Guo communicates in accordance with Qin Guo's telegraph universal codebook. This requires extremely cumbersome translation work. But this kind of communication must be used, because people cannot rely on shouting to complete combat missions. And this kind of shouting is of little practical use on the battlefield, because the sound cannot be transmitted to the opposing ship.

"Close. Strike." The translator conveyed four simple commands to the captain.

"Well, our No.4 ship is going to approach the water pirates on the opposite side." The captain ordered. In fact, when a ship equipped with rotating artillery in Qin State opened fire, another armed merchant ship of Qin State had been stolen and boarded the ship. Not enough, the captain immediately issued an order to close all the hatches. This order is issued through the communication tube. All the crew immediately evacuated the deck and then entered the cabin to take shelter. Qin's armed merchant ships are protected by thick iron plates, which can effectively resist machine gun bullets. It is precisely because of this characteristic that Qin Armed Merchant Ship formulated a set of plans specifically to deal with water theft and boarding. That is, the armed merchant ship that was attacked immediately took effective measures to evade personnel, and then sent a signal. This signal was repeatedly drilled during the exercise and found that the message sent using a complex universal password was very long. Therefore, the armed merchant ship compiled it. But the amount of this information sent is still very large. But this is enough.

The armed merchant ship number four immediately approached and fired on the armed merchant ship that was attacked.

"Chong ah, brothers. If we grab this Qin State iron ship, we will send it out." Qin State's armed merchant ships use cheaper iron armor welding technology, which is effective in terms of corrosion of the river surface and lower cost iron armor. There are great advantages. Because of the low cost, a large number of ships can be manufactured, and the technical requirements are low. Can be built quickly. Why can Qin State build a large number of flat-bottomed armed merchant ships in a relatively short period of time? In fact, this kind of iron armor is used to arm the merchant ship. It is extremely easy to weld. Electric welding is a bit difficult to weld steel, but it is very easy to weld iron armor. Iron armor can be welded directly, and steel needs to be added with a specific combustion aid. This kind of combustion aid is a bit expensive. For shipbuilding, this also means that the price of this ship is very high. Moreover, the manufacturing cost of an armored body is only one-third of the price of steel. This cost advantage is equivalent to building a steel armored ship equivalent to three armored ships for one armed ship. Therefore, for the Qin State, the iron-clad flat-bottomed fleet is an extremely practical vessel.

"Boom." The bullets were fired continuously.

"Puff. Puff." The machine gun bullet penetrated the flesh and smashed the water thief's body. Then the splashing blood mist appeared unexpectedly red under the illumination of the searchlight. The kind of very bright red.

The armed merchant ships of the State of Qin were equipped with some searchlights. These searchlights are specially used for night patrols to prevent water theft attacks. At the same time, there were countless flares in the sky. These face bombs illuminate the night like day, and appear unusually white under the reflection of the river.

"Marines. Ready." A navy sergeant held a revolving rifle with a bayonet inserted in it. They have to use ropes to climb on the opposite ship to clear water pirates. Or use the rifle in your hand to kill the water thieves who tried so badly.

"Boom." "Fire. Shoot." The sergeant shouted.

Machine guns and rifles fired continuously. The water thief who had just climbed onto the Qin State armed merchant ship had just realized the illumination of the searchlight, and was overwhelmed by the shooting. Those water thieves who still wanted to make a fortune were swallowed up all at once.

"Teach these grandchildren a good lesson." After the shooting stopped, the crew members who temporarily avoided rushed out again with their weapons, killed the injured water thieves, and threw their bodies into the water. The bodies fell into the water After that, a large swath of blood immediately drifted away.

In other respects, the killing of Qin's armed merchant ships is still not over. The water pirates took their actions in a planned way. They will take advantage of the advance amount to ambush, and then quietly approach in the dark, and then use a barb, which is similar to an iron anchor, and then quickly climb into the boat after hooking. In this way, a boarding tactic was formed, but they did not expect that the group searchlights of the Qin State armed merchant ship discovered this tactic. Then they adopted a tactic they didn't even think of to solve it.

After the discovery, Qin's armed merchant ship fired countless flares to illuminate as in the pre-drilling exercise, and even illuminated the boats that were rapidly closing in and ambushing. Then, the Qin armed merchant ship took more severe measures to retaliate against the water. Pirate.

"Use a machine gun. Shoot those boats. All of them will be wiped out for me." Almost at the same time, all the captains issued such orders. The machine gun quickly lowered the muzzle and fired continuously, and the machine gun ejected a vicious flame.

And Qin's crew, Marine Corps soldiers, also stood on the deck one after another, holding their own rifles and shooting calmly, they were shooting targets on the river.

"I'm afraid you have never seen such a disgusting scene in your life." A crew member recalled the situation at that time.

"All of us, even the guys who helped us cook, stood on the deck with shotguns. We are like hunting, and the water-pirate boats and the water-pirates who fell helplessly float on the water. . Next. We started our own killing."

"We used rifles to shoot constantly, and the targets on the ship were easy to hit, because we only need to aim at the approximate direction of the ship and shoot. And their hiding places are very limited. My marksmanship is terrible. I specifically aim at those ship targets and shoot. ."

"Flap, a shot. I hit a water pirate. I saw the water pirate fall down not far away, and I hit him in the chest. Luckily it hit him. The bullet passed through at high speed. His chest cavity. Then splashed its blood mist. I could see clearly under the flares and searchlights."

"Soon, the people on the boat realized the danger and they started jumping off the boat. The whole boat was full of dead bodies. We killed those people. The most terrifying thing was the machine gun, which was mainly hit. The whole boat was shot. Everyone in the boat will die."

"Blood, broken limbs, and the internal organs that broke the human belly are everywhere on the boat. I am very sick to see it."

"These are not over yet. Those who jumped off the boat tried to escape. We hated these people at the time. All of us were fishermen on the Yangtze River. We had a good life before we came out to run the boat. But these water pirates Kill us often. We can’t do this. We want to survive. Really. We can’t."

"Those water pirates who jumped into the water, we never let go. We kept firing. Especially the one who was cooking next to me, that guy, used a shotgun to open the head of a water pirate who had just surfaced. Floating across the water on the spot. The scene is really disgusting."

The crew's memories are still very long, but this undoubtedly proves from the side that it was an extremely **** night. With the help of flares and searchlights, the crew finally discovered that there were dead bodies, broken limbs, and internal organs floating on the surface of the river. And the entire river surface turned red.

The red Yangtze River.
