Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    This is Lan Fang's unique three-long and one-short alarm, and it is also the highest level alarm. That's why Du Sanniang was so panicked. This kind of alarm has never been used since the beginning of its design, and what does this alarm mean?  That is: a large number of enemies are coming!

    Seeing Du Sanniang immediately returning to the meeting hall and actively mobilizing troops, Tang Jian hurriedly followed Du Sanniang to the meeting hall. The Lanfangman scout who was patrolling the nearby sea reported the news that there was a huge fleet.  They come here normally, and they come in a fan-shaped search formation.

    There is only one island behind the sea near here: Huangyan Island. It is obvious that the target of the fleet will be Huangyan Island soon.

    But when Du Sanniang asked which fleet it was (around Luzon at this time, there were often fleets from Britain, the Netherlands, the United States, France, China and other countries)? The scout said that because of the distance and the rush,  He rushed back to report the news, so he didn't see clearly which country's fleet it was.

    When Du Sanniang heard this, she looked worried. Originally, the Huangyan Island where Lan Fangman was located was not conspicuous among the Nanyang Islands. In addition, due to the high density of Linduo, it was extremely concealed. This is why Lan Fangman has survived to this day.  important reasons.

    But why was it suddenly discovered by this fleet today?  You know, Lan Fangman on Huangyan Island has lived in peace and harmony for decades.

    Thinking about it carefully, there is only one reason, and that is that Lan Fangman had an affair!

    However, Du Sanniang has strictly ordered anyone to go to sea in the past few days. If there is a spy, it is impossible to pass on the news. Thinking of Liu Bao's escape that day, Du Sanniang and other leaders of Lanfang Man have already guessed  One or two, except Liu Bao, no one can pass the news on.

    This fleet is obviously coming here. Lan Fangman's young men can take the opportunity to escape, but what about the children on the island?  They have lived here for decades and have long been accustomed to this peaceful and peaceful life. Even if they move now, it is too late. Except for a gunboat, everything else in Lanfang Man is a backward sailing ship.  , the transfer takes time, but according to the speed of that fleet, the transfer now can only be completely annihilated at sea by the fleet that comes later.

    Aunt Hong gnashed her teeth and cursed: "Liu Bao, this traitor, if I catch him, I will kill him with a thousand knives!"

    The other leaders also cursed and vowed to personally kill Liu Bao, the ungrateful traitor.

    Du Sanniang stopped everyone and told Lan Fangman the unprecedented dilemma he was facing now. Should he retreat or defend?  If you retreat, you can survive by abandoning your children. If you don't give up, your children will eventually be wiped out. If you hold on, they will most likely die in battle.

    Aunt Hong said without hesitation: "We Lanfang people have been running away for so long, and now we have finally settled down. Anyway, I don't want to live a wandering life anymore. I would rather fight to death with the people in my clan."  On this Huangyan Island.¡±

    "Yes, we will not give up on our family. We will die together! We no longer want to live a wandering life. If Lan Fang can only become history in the end, then let him become history!"  One of the little bosses said desperately.

    Everyone agreed with this helpless and tragic answer.

    If a person has been alone for too long, he would rather choose death, because death may be a kind of relief for him. For these descendants of Lanfang, in the face of crisis, they would rather die tragically.

    Du Sanniang knew everyone's determination and said resolutely: "Send my order immediately and fight to the end!"

    "Yes!" Everyone responded enthusiastically. Immediately, Aunt Hong and other leaders of Lan Fangman filed out and rushed to the beach with their own warriors, preparing to jointly resist the incoming enemy attack.  Although they know that they can only become cannon fodder in front of powerful naval guns, they still have no hesitation and only defend their "homeland".

    For the time being, let¡¯s call this extremely ordinary island in the South China Sea the last home of the descendants of Lan Fang!

    After everyone was ordered to go out, Du Sanniang turned around with an apology on her face (Tang Jian couldn't see it) and said: "Mr. Tang, I'm sorry for causing trouble for you. No matter which country's fleet it is, we are all  Death is certain."

    Tang Jian shook his head with a wry smile: "The matter has come to this, we can only try our best."

    In recent years, when various countries have severely cracked down on pirates in the South China Sea, the fleets of various countries have reached a tacit understanding, that is, once a pirate's nest is discovered, they will be bombarded with heavy artillery without negotiation, and a bloody policy of no mercy will be implemented against the pirates.  , to deter other pirates.

    What¡¯s funny is that Tang Jian at that time actually acquiesced to the South China Sea Fleet.?Practice.

    In other words, if the South China Sea Fleet comes this time, then Tang Jian is likely to die under the fire of his own people, and he actually acquiesced in this original move.

    In short, no matter which country¡¯s fleet comes, Lan Fangman and he will almost never survive.

    Since we have reached a dead end, we can only have a final battle with the descendants of Lan Fang!

    However, Tang Jian still had a trace of luck in his heart. If it was really the South China Sea Fleet this time, Tang Jian hoped that the Chinese commander who led the South China Sea Fleet this time was not a fool. Tang Jian had been missing for so long, Yan Fu should have guessed  It is very likely that Tang Jian will be hijacked by pirates. If Yan Fu informs the commanders at all levels of the South China Sea Fleet about this guess, then this time it may not be destruction, but probably rescue.

    Of course, this is just a fluke.

    Tang Jian's whereabouts are a high-level secret of China. I am afraid that except for a few senior generals in the South China Sea Fleet, the other generals should not know about it. For military operations to suppress pirates in the South China Sea, it is generally not necessary for the senior generals of the South China Sea Fleet to personally  For the South China Sea Fleet, the suppression of pirates in the South China Sea is only a relatively small military operation. Sending a colonel is already very good. Who would send a Chinese general to command several warships to suppress small groups of pirates?

    The final conclusion is that even if the South China Sea Fleet comes, Tang Jian has a high chance of becoming cannon fodder.  This is a very contradictory and helpless conclusion.

    If this incident were to spread, it would probably make countries around the world laugh. The President of China died under the gunfire of his own fleet?

    At this point, it was useless for Tang Jian to think more, so he had to bite the bullet.

    Tang Jian said to Du Sanniang: "I'll go with you. One more person means more strength. Anyway, even if you die in battle, it won't be much worse than me."

    Du Sanniang glanced at Tang Jian with emotion and whispered, "Thank you!" After saying that, she hurried to the beach with a few of her followers.

    Tang Jian shook his head with a wry smile, and followed behind with Chen Chusheng.

    When he came to the beach, Tang Jian looked around and saw that thousands of Lanfang pirates had gathered on the beach. These pirates were all well-organized and sticking to simple defenses.  The naval guns had no effect at all, but these descendants of Lanfang still insisted on their posts resolutely, without the slightest fear on their faces. This was the case for everyone, including some thin and half-grown children.  , holding a wooden stick and followed behind the adult.

    Soon, Tang Jian saw dense black spots slowly emerging from below the sea level in the distance. This was a huge fleet, at least it could be seen from the fact that it did not show the entire formation.

    Tang Jian took a navigation telescope, but this civilian telescope was always inferior to the military telescope. The magnification was far from enough. From such a distance, it was impossible to see the naval flag representing the identity of the fleet's mast.

    After observing carefully for a while, Tang Jian's heart suddenly beat violently. Although Tang Jian could not clearly see the naval ensign on the leading battleship, Tang Jian still recognized the outline of the battleship at a glance. It was the South China Sea.  The flagship of the fleet - the Typhoon.

    The flagships of the South China Sea Fleet have been dispatched, which means that senior generals of the South China Sea Fleet are also coming together this time. South China Sea Fleet Commander Sa Zhenbing is likely to be on board, so Tang Jian has a glimmer of hope.

    Tang Jian immediately whispered the news to Chen Chusheng who was standing aside. A look of surprise suddenly appeared on Chen Chusheng's face, but Chen Chusheng knew the current situation very well, so he quickly put away his happy expression.

    However, this scene happened to fall in Du Sanniang's eyes. She was so happy when she saw this fleet. What was the meaning behind this happy expression?  Du Sanniang began to think slowly in her heart.

    Tang Jian¡¯s guess was correct. This time it was indeed Sa Zhenbing who personally led the South China Sea Fleet, and it came in full force.

    A few days ago, Yan Fu sternly told Sa Zhenbing in a telegram that the president was probably hijacked by pirates in the South China Sea, so he ordered that the president must be found. Sa Zhenbing did not dare to neglect at all, so he went to the South China Sea day and night.  Checked, but found nothing.

    Just when Sa Zhenbing was about to fall into despair, several pirates suddenly found him and said they could help him find the lair of Lan Fangman, the largest pirate organization in the South China Sea.  Sa Zhenbing immediately realized that Tang Jian was likely to be held hostage by Lan Fangman on that mysterious island, and the name of the pirate who provided paid information was Liu Bao.

    So, Sa Zhenbing reorganized his formation and immediately led all the South China Sea Fleet to attack the island.

    At this time, this small island hasSo close!  President, I finally found you!  Sa Zhenbing felt excited and immediately ordered the fleet to anchor five kilometers away from Huangyan Island.

    At this time, on the deck of the Typhoon, Liu Bao pointed happily to the Huangyan Island not far away and said: "General, that is the Huangyan Island, the home base of Lan Fangman. They should be blown to pieces immediately!"

    Sa Zhenbing's face turned cold and he scolded: "Do I still need you to teach me how to do things?"

    Liu Bao suddenly became as silent as a cicada and did not dare to say any more.

    Sa Zhenbing then issued another order: "Send people to the island immediately and say that we want to negotiate with them!"
