"Of course we have to fight, but this time we won by surprise!" Li Guodong decided to fight the rebel Dongjiang Naval Division. Li Guodong had a trump card in his hand that others didn't know, which was the Navy Frogman Camp. In fact, the Navy's unreception at night, which is the future Marine Special Forces.

The rebel general in Huizhou City was Gao Jinku. Li Guodong didn't want him to run away this time. He swore: "This battle will lead to capture Gao Jinku's dog thieves! He will cut him into pieces! General Shi, his country's Duke sent a navy to stop the surprise attack of the rebel fleet at night. When the rebel navy starts to fire, you will immediately lead the fleet to attack the rebel water camp. After destroying the rebel navy, you must keep a stare at Huizhou City and never let the city escape to the river alone! Any suspicious ship must be strictly investigated. If he is asked to run away from the water this time, you should be punished by General Shi and General Luo!"

"No!" Shi Lang and Luo Mingshou replied at the same time.

Although the Huai Army Navy's strength is far inferior to the rebel Dongjiang Navy, the Huai Army has powerful land artillery, and the rebels dare not go upstream to attack the Huai Army Navy.

During this period, Li Guodong sent the Navy Frogman Battalion to reconnaissance near the Rebel Navy Water Village. In order to detect the details of the enemy, the Huai Army Navy did not accept the enemy's details at night and quietly swam into the Rebel Navy Water Village Water Village from underwater, drawing the rebel ship mooring locations, the water village watchtower, the navy land camp and other locations.

The method of diving is very simple. Each water ghost carries a thin bamboo tube two and a half feet long, and the thin bamboo tube is tied to its head with a rope. When diving, one end is held in its mouth and the other end is exposed to the water surface. It takes advantage of the night to sneak into the rebel naval camp to carry out reconnaissance. The few sent to reconnaissance have excellent memories. After returning to the shore, the layout diagram of the rebel water camp was drawn based on the situation just observed.

After a detailed reconnaissance, the navy drew detailed drawings of the rebel naval camp at night.

In the blink of an eye, October of the 19th year of Chongzhen. In the 10th month of the lunar calendar, the north was already covered with ice and snow, but in Lingnan, the climate was pleasant and the water temperature was a little cool. However, for those navy masters with excellent water properties did not accept them at night, they could be able to move at such water temperature for an hour.

Li Guodong bounced off the layout diagram of the rebel navy drawn by the navy at night, and gestured his fingers from time to time, thinking about how to fight this battle.

"If we can seize the enemy ships as much as possible, that would be great. What we lack now is the ship. If there are not enough ships, we will not be able to enter the main channel of the Pearl River." Li Guodong knocked on the map with his finger.

Li Guodong did not place too much hope on Zheng Zhilong. He had to rely on himself in everything, and hope on others, and was always passive. In the original time and space, when Li Dingguo attacked Xinhui, he placed too much hope on Zheng Chenggong. As a result, Zheng Chenggong failed to make an appointment for various reasons, and Li Dingguo was too kind, which led to the defeat of Xinhui.

After all, Zheng Zhilong was just a pirate and a businessman. Through the original time and space Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, it can be seen that the nature of a merchant who could not get up early without profit was the ultimate in him. The reason why Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty was mainly because Jiangnan was in the hands of the Qing Dynasty, not because he could not defend Fujian. With the terrain of Fujian, he could not attack even if he could not attack Xianxia Pass. But why did he still surrender to the Qing Dynasty? It was because the supply of goods provided by his sea trade group to overseas came mainly from Jiangnan. When Jiangnan fell into the hands of the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Zhilong would surrender to the Qing Dynasty for his own interests.

In this time and space, Jiangnan is still in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, so it is impossible for Zheng Zhilong to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. However, if Li Guodong invites Zheng Zhilong to attack the Guangzhou rebels, it is hard to say whether Zheng Zhilong will come to the appointment as scheduled.

"I'm afraid it's not easy to get a boat?" Shi Lang glanced at the map and said, "We don't collect the boats at night and set fire at night. When enemy ships are parked on the shore at night, and several ships are fired together, the entire navy camp will be burned."

Li Guodong smiled and said, "The direction of fire attacking the wind is winter. Although it is winter, the wind in Lingnan is uncertain. When the cold air comes, the northwest wind blows, and most of the time it is still southeast wind. When we are in the southeast wind, we can send a navy to sneak into the enemy water camp at night and set fire on enemy ships near the shore; and then send a group of people who don't take it to the shore to set fire in the enemy camp. As long as the fire breaks, the enemy will inevitably be in chaos. When we set fire on the boats near the shore, we cut off the enemy's way to board the ship and escape. When the fire breaks, we will control the ships outside at the same time. When the fire breaks out, we will enter the enemy water camp at the same time, and connect all the ships that have not caught fire."

This is a set of tactics that fire attack and snatch ships are carried out simultaneously, and it is a tactic of fighting on land and water at the same time.

The specific implementation is to let the navy dive into the rebel water camp at night, and choose a group of ships anchored near the shore to set fire; at the same time, some people climbed onto the shore and set fire in the enemy's naval land camp. When the fire broke out, Shi Lang's navy broke into the enemy water camp from the river; on land, the infantry of the land division that the Huai Army had ambushed in advance also attacked the enemy's camp.

Unfortunately, the cold air is moving south these days, with northwest wind blowing, and it has rained a few times.

Li Guodong has been observing the weather for the past few days, and finally waited for the southeast wind to come. However, because of the residual power of the cold air and the intersection of cold and warm air, the rain in the sky still did not stop.

Two more days passed, and after the rain stopped on that day, Li Guodong found sunsets in the sky.

"It will definitely be a good weather tomorrow. Let brothers prepare and do it tomorrow!" Li Guodong began to make arrangements.

"The commander is really a god. How could he know that tomorrow will be clear?" Luo Ming asked.

Li Guodong smiled but said nothing. In fact, in addition to observing the weather, Li Guodong also created some weather vanes and simple wind cup anemometers.

If a real anemometer cannot be built, it requires electricity to calculate the wind speed. This simple wind cup anemometer made by Li Guodong drives the gears to slow down the speed by the rotation of the wind cup, so that the speed of the wind cup can be calculated and then the wind speed can be calculated.

Based on the wind speed and observing the clouds in the sky, we can simply make weather forecasts. Although they are not very accurate, the error will not be too large.

The next day, after a tense preparation during the day, Lin Shuijie, the captain of the Navy Frogman Battalion, led 200 Navy troops to set off at night. Each Navy Frogman carried a thin bamboo tube for breathing during diving, a bamboo tube for storing matches and gunpowder, a turbulent oil tank, four grenades and a short knife.

Lin Shuijie led the Navy's Frogman Camp to board ten small sampans, took advantage of the night to leave his own Navy camp, and quietly drove towards the rebel Navy.

"Be careful, there are enemy boats patrolling the river in front." Lin Shuijie found that there were lights flashing on the river two miles ahead, and he made a signal.

In order not to expose their position, the boats in the Frogman camp did not send signals with lights, but directly approached each other with ships and gestured at close range.

Under the dark night, the rebel navy's patrol boat did not find the small boats of the Huai Navy's Frogman Battalion. When they were about to approach the enemy's camp, Lin Shuijie sent an order: "Drive the boat in the reeds by the river, and we are ready to go into the water."

Ten small boats sailed into the reeds by the river and avoided the patrol boats of the rebel naval division. Then the navy leaped into the water one by one.

Currently, the Frogman Camp is located at the turn of the Dongjiang River, opposite Huizhou City. Dongjiang River first runs south, and here it is another sharp turn, turning north. This place is more than four miles away from the rebel Dongjiang Naval Shui Village. The soldiers of the Naval Frogman Camp rely on their excellent water quality to dive along the water and swim quietly towards the rebel Naval Shui Camp.

Taking advantage of the cover of night, Lin Shuijie and the others approached the rebel naval camp.
