Entering Port
Chapter 620:Entering Port
"A plan to ensure everyone's safety I will approve your actions," Wang Puhong's style of doing things is fierce, never wavering in the matter between the two sides.
Xu Yihang returned to his house after he was supposed to go back to his house to start planning, and Wang Puhong then informed Zhang of this matter.
Zhang was surprised to hear Wang Puhong say that he would take the initiative to go to the pirates' port to engage in things, but then he understood when he finished the reason.This operation is a plan to fight a first hand, the pirates can guess the "Snow Dragon" immediately decided to counterattack is unlikely, at this time will undoubtedly occupy a lot of advantages.
If this time does not act, and when the "Snow Dragon" crosses the Bering Strait and starts to travel west, the pirates will follow the entanglement again, and then do not expect that there will be a stable day to pass.
Xu Yihang's plan was formulated very quickly, and it was not long before he took the plan to go to Wang Puhong, and then Wang Puhong informed the relevant personnel to gather in the conference room and announced the action plan to everyone.
“Wales is a pirate port!”Many crew members were taken aback by the news, and as a polar route and an important supply port in the Bering Sea, its name was familiar to many seafarers.
“There are about 50 pirates in the port, and there are a few others who have been enslaved,” Xu said. “The main purpose of this operation is to take the initiative to eliminate the living power of the pirates and deprive them of the ability to follow us.”
"The personnel involved in this operation are mainly based on our Changxing troops, and the comrades of the ship safety team are left to protect the safety of the Xuelong."The Snow Eagle helicopter and the Yellow River boat are the means of transportation for this operation, and they are caught off guard by the combination of air and sea operations.”
“Lieutenant Xu,” Chen Bin suddenly raised his hand.
"Please say," Xu Yihang just announced his plan, and saw that Chen Bin seemed to have new suggestions.
"First of all, I applied to participate in the war, because this operation only sent out the Changxing Island troops, we are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers."Secondly, I have a small idea about this operation, although the raid has a first-hand advantage, but the combat location is not an area we are familiar with, and the port terrain is very complex, although we occupy the initiative of the day, but the pirates have the advantage of geography and numbers, I am afraid that there will be casualties in the course of the battle, this result is not what everyone does not want to see."
Hearing Chen Bin's application to participate in the war, Zhang could look at him, and some words stopped.
Xu Yihang nodded, "What you said is reasonable, just let it go, if the pirates follow the 'Snow Dragon' and continue to harass, it will be more harmful."
Chen Bin smiled, knowing that Xu Yihang may have misunderstood his meaning, "Since I applied to participate in the war, I will not propose to avoid war."The combination of air and sea operations is very good, but my idea is that I want to minimize casualties.I have a way to ask Captain Wang, Lieutenant Xu and you to help the staff, everyone pick up the gaps, to improve the details of the whole plan."
“Good,” Wang Puhong and others responded.
“Our goal is not to eliminate pirates, but not to give them the opportunity to follow the Chewlong.”Although the elimination of them is one way of achieving this goal, it seems to me that it is not the ideal way, as I said earlier, that the elimination of pirates may pay a small price, and this result is contrary to the scientific purpose of our visit.”
“As long as there is no way to fully avoid the risk of sacrifice as long as there is to war,” Xu said. “We are soldiers, so we are also ready for sacrifice.”
“The vast majority of us have never been to Spitsbergen before, so no one expected anything to happen on the next trip, and some accidents were simply unexpected, like the tanker last night.The destination is far from the motherland, and the support and assistance we can get is very limited, so if there is a reduction in staff on the road, it will have a certain impact on the next scientific research action.”
“So you have a better way?”Xu Yihang asked again.
“Pirates are not allowed the opportunity to follow the harassment, but in addition to destroying them, they can destroy their ships and, without transportation, they cannot threaten us at all, even if they are all alive.”
Chen Bin's words made everyone shine, today's battle with the pirates was a big victory, which made almost everyone's thinking fixed on the head-to-head fire, and ignored other methods.Xu Yihang immediately praised, "This is a good idea, it is much safer to destroy their ships and destroy their living forces than indeed."
Chen Bin's method provides you with another idea, Wang Puhong also looks at him.The captain did not know Chen Bin before, and he did not understand his deeds, only that he was an entourage of Professor Zhang.Now that Chen Bin has heard the changes proposed to the action plan, he suddenly became somewhat curious about the young man’s identity.
“Are there explosives on board?”Chen Bin asked.
“Yes,” Wang Puhong and Xu Yihang said in unison.
"'Snow Dragon' is an icebreaker, and although icebreaking does not rely on explosives, it takes into account the need to land for scientific research, and the doomsday seed bank is built inside the mountain, so we took some with us before we travel."
"We also brought a lot," Xu Yihang and other Wang Puhong said, "we are carrying military explosives, should be more suitable for the use of ships than the engineering explosives carried by Captain Wang."
"Then it's okay," Chen Bin nodded, "how can our icebreaker break ice without relying on explosives?"
"This is more appropriate for Professor Xia to explain," said Xia Yunli, Wang Puhong's only polar expedition expert on the ship.
"It was intended to wait until after entering the polar circle, at the symposium to give you popular science, since Chen Bin just asked, I will tell you in advance."Xia Yunli cleared his throat and continued, "There are generally two kinds of ice-breaking methods commonly used, when the ice layer is not more than 1.5 meters thick, we will use the 'continuous' ice-breaking method, mainly by the power of the propeller and the bow to split the ice and smash the ice; if the ice is thicker, we will use gravity to break the ice, fill the water tank in the stern ballast, so that the bow will be lifted up, and then open the ship to the ice surface.Crush the ice.”
"Of course, sailing in the polar waters has very high operational requirements, and the difficulty is far greater than ordinary waters."After entering the polar range, we need to pass the test of the navigation of open water, the navigation of the ice floating area and the navigation of the land-based ice area, the most complex of which is the navigation of the land-based ice area.Today's main discussion is to go to the pirate port to destroy pirate ships, and I will not be too burdensome here to break the knowledge of the ship's ice."
Xia Yunli's words made Chen Bin realize that the topic just now was accidentally biased because of his curiosity, so he was embarrassed to show an apology smile.
Xu Yihang did not care, Chen Bin put forward the idea of destroying pirate ships, and also mentioned explosives, which gave everyone a sense of sudden enlightenment.He immediately adjusted the plan for Chen Bin's proposal, and many people also participated in the detailed discussion.
Taking advantage of the gap in everyone's discussion, Zhang Can Can pulled Chen Bin and Dafei outside the conference room and raised their concerns about them.
“Brother, why did you take the initiative to take part in the action?”Zhang Cang asked, “If something happens, how can I explain it to Achai?”
"Zhang Ge, you can rest assured that this operation is only aimed at destroying ships, the danger is much smaller," Chen Bin said softly, "this time can follow you is also stained with your light, if I have been shrinking on the ship to play soy sauce, people behind it is to say yours."In addition, there is no reason to hide behind the ship to earn military merit."
“This is no better than the East Beach,” Zhang said.
"Brother Zhang, put your heart in your stomach, Chen Bin is right, if we are afraid that this will not join the army in the first place."Da Fei very much agree with Chen Bin's point of view, he just did not have time to speak in the conference room, in fact, Chen Bin said to participate in the action when he also had this idea.
"I want to work with Xu Yihang, the regular army, because I can learn a lot with them.Although we are soldiers, there is still a small gap in combat literacy, and if we do not find ways to improve our capabilities, we may be helpless in the face of bigger problems in the future.”
"Old Wei him ... . . . ." Zhang can see Chen Bin's idea is very resolute, his heart sighed with some helplessness, he has always been a little self-blame because of Wei Qiming's death, and now of course he does not want Chen Bin and Dafei to take risks.
“Death is life,” Chen Bin laughed.
“The rich are in the sky,” he turned his head and looked at him, and laughed.
Seeing that he could not return the two people, Zhang Can had to nod his head and accept the reality in front of him, and he gave a good speech before returning to the conference room.
Xu Yihang will already be laying out the details of the battle, he will be based on the information provided by the captives on the front of the blackboard, and focus on two positions.
“This is Wales, just over thirty kilometres away from us, and the town’s homes are largely concentrated near the coast.There are about a dozen ships on the dock, and we need to focus on the largest of them and the town's police station."Pointing to the simple map drawn on the blackboard, Xu Yihang said, “According to intelligence, the pirates’ strongholds are divided into two places, and the pirates who are assigned tasks are mostly on the cargo ships at the dock, while others remain in the police station, and some of their weapons are obtained from ships moored in the port.”
“We do not intend to attack the police station, and the target of the operation is mainly on these ships in the port, especially this large freighter, which is the highest priority of the ships we need to blast.”
