after tomorrow is the end

Chapter 399

Wow, riding the wind and waves, several large ships sailed on the sea.

"South wind level 3! The weather is clear! The speed is 11 knots!" The first officer looked at the data on the console and reported to the captain from time to time.

"Keep the speed! Keep going!" Captain Lin Shuisheng looked ahead. He was a sailor before, and his father was the captain. He grew up on the ship since he was a child.

Because of his expertise in this skill, he was quickly reused after joining the Federation of Tomorrow.

Modern ships do not need to be at the helm, they are all turbine engines with electronic information systems, and they can sail autonomously as long as the coordinates are set.

How did the coordinates of Gushan Island come about?In the cabin of one of the ships, there is an oversized wooden cargo box, and inside, a pair of electronic eyes light up.

"How far is it to Gushan Island?" Li Jie and the others walked into the cab, and they couldn't see anything in the endless sea. Without specific coordinates, they would get lost in the vast sea.

"There are still 66 nautical miles, and it is expected to arrive at the target area in three hours!" Lin Shuisheng replied immediately.

"Well, stop where you are in an hour and wait for my order." Li Jie nodded and said.

"Yes!" Lin Shuisheng saluted.

"Liu Mang." Li Jie shouted without looking back.

"Here!" Liu Mang also changed from his usual lazy look, and straightened his big belly.

"Contact Lucas to see where they are, when they are expected to arrive in the Ark area, and then agree on a time for the general attack." Li Jie didn't want to be the first to show up and attract firepower.

"Yes!" Liu Mang went down to contact Lucas by radio, and he was in charge of the fleet over there.

Wow...the ship continues sailing according to the established route...

After a while, Liu Mang ran up.

"Report to the president! Lucas said...they are expected to arrive at the scheduled location in five hours." Liu Mang reported the other party's situation to Li Jie.

"Five hours?" Li Jie looked at his watch, it was almost evening.

"Did they say when to attack?"

"Yes, it is said that the general attack will be launched at around [-] o'clock in the morning tomorrow morning!"

"Well, then let's rest for the night, stay 25 nautical miles away from Gushan Island, and launch an attack at [-]:[-] tomorrow morning!" Li Jie also felt that it was very reasonable to start the battle at dawn, after all, it is difficult to see the enemy at night due to his unclear vision.

"Yes!" All the people around saluted and took orders.

An hour later, the fleet arrived at the scheduled location.

"Arrive at the scheduled location! Order all ships to anchor and stop!" Lin Shuisheng gave an order to the first officer. He was not only the captain of the ship, but also the commander of the entire fleet.

"Yes! Attention all ships! Attention all ships! Stop the ship at anchor! Stop the ship at anchor!" The first officer picked up the microphone on the bridge and issued a public order to the surrounding ships.

Humming... the power propeller at the back of the ship gradually stopped turning...

Crash!Crash!As soon as the ship lost power, several crew members threw the heavy anchor into the seabed, splashing waves one after another.

If you want to stop the boat on the sea, it is not just as simple as turning off the flame. If there is no grip of the anchor, the boat will follow the wind, waves and currents, follow the waves, deviate from the course, and you will not be able to control the direction of the bow .

"Warning!" After the ships stopped, each ship began to arrange night duty personnel, and most of the other people began to rest, preparing to recharge their batteries for tomorrow's battle.

"Turn off the lights, turn on the night lights." The announcement in the cabin sounded, it was already night.

There is a night light in the barracks, the light is soft and not glaring, which is convenient for the shift personnel to enter and exit at night, and does not affect the normal rest of the soldiers.

Kaka... The soldiers have to fasten their seat belts when they go to bed, and tie themselves to the bed to sleep, safe.

Huhu... The soldiers snore and sleep in rooms with 6-8 people. Generals above the battalion commander live in double or single rooms.

Xueyue on the lower bunk was so preoccupied that she couldn't fall asleep for a long time. She stared blankly at the plank above her head. This was a double room with upper and lower bunks.

"Bingbing, are you asleep?" Xueyue called out softly, her younger brother was sleeping on the upper bunk.

"En." Lixiao replied vaguely, not sure if it was an unconscious behavior in sleep, or he was not asleep.

"Tomorrow...you will follow me, don't rush to the front like last time." Xueyue heard about the battle of the Ghost Bride in Sequoia Town, Lixiao led his company to the front, and suffered heavy casualties.

"Hmm..." was another vague answer.

"Hey..." Xueyue sighed, she applied to be transferred to the second battalion as battalion deputy, isn't it because of this younger brother, and now Lixiao is the battalion commander of the second battalion of the second regiment.

Tomorrow, the Federation will expand its army again, but this time it is different from the past. They are all newly formed soldiers, mainly outlaws, with a total strength of more than [-] reorganized divisions.

Mayor Valentin, Deputy Division Commander Wei Wen, Chief of General Staff Li Siqi.There are five regiments, the regiment leaders from one to five are: Jones, Drizzt, Jiuzhilong, Haolan, Tianlengyehei.

Fifteen battalion commanders: Firefox, Low Key, Wang An, Zhao Xuan, Leaking Dawn, Di Yun, Zhang Xiao, Bai Ye, Huang Quan Leng Yue, Ruan Yang, Dark Night Sirius, Zhang Jin, Dead Wood, Star God, Moser.

There are several company commanders, all of whom were the backbone of the federation that originally joined the alliance.

Huh...huh...huh...outside, the searchlights were turned on at their brightest, illuminating the surroundings back and forth, and there were also duty personnel in the main control room, closely watching the radar system on the instrument.

There was nothing to say all night, and the sea and sky line shone goldenly, and a new day rose.

"President! President! It's time to get up!" Bang bang bang... bang bang bang... Liu Mang was slamming the closed door outside a cabin. It's four o'clock now, didn't it mean that the general attack started at five o'clock? ?
Creak... The hatch opened, and Li Jie appeared at the door with sleepy eyes.

"President! President, hurry up and order the anchor to sail! If you don't leave, you will miss the agreed time!" Liu Mang was in a hurry.

"What's the rush, we'll weigh anchor and sail at five o'clock. Yawn..." Li Jie yawned, but didn't wake up.

"Five...five o'clock? President, are you sleepy? We are still more than 20 nautical miles away from Gushan Island, and it will take more than an hour to sail at full speed." Liu Mang's eyes were wide open, matching his That fat big face looks like a big-faced cat.

"I'm not stupid, and you heard me right, the anchor is lifted at [-] o'clock, but you have to say on the broadcast that the landing battle will start at [-] o'clock, so that all regiments are ready for battle." Li Jie said seriously, he did it on purpose Delay the attack for an hour, let Ark's side start the fight first, and relieve the pressure on his side.

"I see...hehe..." Liu Mang was not stupid despite eating too much, he thought it through immediately, and delivered the order with a sly smile.

Huh... The alarm sounded, and the soldiers ran into the cabin on the bottom floor, where a large number of landing craft were stored, and they entered one by one under the leadership of their respective officers.

The Battle of Gushan Island thus kicked off.
