On the sandbank, even without a telescope, you can see the shadowy silhouettes of tanks on the other side of the river.
Beiying became a ferry crossing naturally because the river water here is calm and the river surface is relatively narrow. The widest part of the lower reaches of the Heijiang River where it flows into the sea is eighty to ninety kilometers, and the narrowest part of the upper reaches is less than one kilometer.
Beiying Ferry is located in the middle section, and the river is more than 6,000 meters wide.
But today the sky is clear and cloudless, the visibility is excellent, and there is no obstruction on the river, so you can vaguely see the tanks on the other side of the river driving back and forth in a show of force.
The sandbank was full of villagers who came to watch the fun, including Lu Ming.
In fact, if it weren't for word of mouth that there were tanks on the other side, you might not notice those moving black dots with the naked eye.
Now, many villagers have come to watch the fun, but few are frightened.
After all, it seems that the tanks on the other side can't fly over.
In fact, under the current conditions, if Gaobaoshan in Jiangbei requisitions civilian ships to cross the river, these tanks really cannot be transported.
There is a bridge in Xin'an City, more than 200 kilometers to the east.
But it is obvious that Gao Baoshan does not want to make a mess in Xin'an. After all, it is one of the top five metropolises in the Northern Territory and also his treasure trove.
His precious tank army is just for scare people.
Of course, if the Jiangnan Army wanted to launch an attack from this ferry, it would inevitably be hit head-on by its tank troops.
From the perspective of Gao Baoshan's troops, this armored regiment is his trump card. According to intelligence from Jiangbei, there are more than 40 armored vehicles and tanks of various types.
Lu Ming stood on the sandbank and looked into the distance, seeming to be thinking about something.
…
Quadruple bungalow No. 9, Regent Hotel.
The fat man from the next yard was sitting in front of Lu Ming. This fat man was Bai Yumeng, the chief of the North Camp Intelligence Station of the Intelligence Department. It seemed that when his father named him, he didn't expect that he would grow up to be like this when he grew up.
Within the intelligence system, his nickname is Busy Day.
In fact, he also came from the United Matrix and was originally an intelligence agent under Lao Catfish.
Although Beiying is just a small town, due to its geographical location, its intelligence station is on the same level as those in the big cities in the Northern Territory.
Bai Rimang has the military rank of major, and his monthly allowance is extremely high.
"Eliminate the foreign intelligence organizations in the North Camp within two days?" Bai Ri was dumbfounded as he listened to the order from Special Envoy Zhang.
Lu Ming nodded: "The intelligence organization may not be completely wiped out, but the foreign spy group with the radio station must be eliminated." He smiled again, "You don't have to worry too much. The intelligence department's detection vehicle will arrive tonight to cooperate with our operations. In addition, the firepower battalion will do something to confuse them, so they will definitely send radio messages to transmit intelligence today and tomorrow. Moreover, they probably won't understand much when they see the detection vehicle, so let's send out the detection vehicle secretly."
Bai Riman breathed a sigh of relief, "Then it's much easier. Besides, you've also read the logs I reported. We have discovered two foreign intelligence groups here." In fact, it was a bit of a test.
Lu Ming nodded: "I have seen it, your judgment is very reasonable. Let's close the net the day after tomorrow and arrest them all, no matter who they are from, first."
Bai Ri nodded hurriedly, thinking that Special Envoy Zhang was of a very high rank and could see the top-secret logs he had reported.
Lu Ming watched Bai Ri busy, thought for a moment and said, "We need to clear the radio stations here within two days. We also need to be on guard against carrier pigeons and the like, but you don't need to worry about them." He added, "Our operation is a top-secret military operation to attack the tank group on the opposite side, because in two days, our artillery units will arrive at the nearby riverside."
Bai Ri was busy and scratched his head. The river is so wide, how can the shells reach it
Lu Ming continued, "You are the station chief of the intelligence station here, so you have the right to know. The rest, including the highest commander of the garrison here, do not know the details. They only know that troops are being transferred here. In fact, before the military operation is actually launched, no more than ten people, including you, know about this operation."
Bai Rimang's heart trembled, he stood up suddenly and stood at attention, "Sir! I guarantee with my head that I will cooperate with our army's special operation this time!" As for confidentiality, as an intelligence officer, there is naturally no need to swear or swear, it is a matter of principle that should be observed.
Lu Ming nodded in satisfaction: "Go and prepare! The security company here will fully cooperate with us."
The heavy artillery battalion of the independent regiment had ten heavy artillery pieces with a range of more than nine thousand meters, which were just enough to knock out Gao Baoshan's vitals.
Today's tank armor is very thin and cannot withstand heavy artillery bombardment.
Because there has never been a world war in the age of firearms, today's military concepts lag behind the development of science and technology.
For example, armored vehicles and tanks all have thin skins and large fillings, and just like World War I, the development of artillery is heavy and long-range.
Even the Imperial Capital Defense Force built several super artillery batteries with a range of over one hundred kilometers.
However, due to the lack of wars, few local troops would purchase heavy artillery.
Related military industrial enterprises are also half-dead.
The Independent Regiment, or the military-industrial enterprise with which the United Matrix has a long-term cooperative relationship, has been acquired by Lu Ming. These ten heavy artillery pieces are its latest products, designed in accordance with Lu Ming's philosophy.
It is not as bulky as a super cannon and can be pulled by a tractor, which is suitable for today's warfare.
I think if this shot can be fired two days later, it will also be a kind of publicity for the military industrial enterprise, and a large number of heavy artillery will be purchased for the war on the Western Front.
Watching Bai Rimang's figure disappear in the corridor, Lu Ming smiled at Xiao Guo and Xiao Guo, "Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, go around and shoot down any flying pigeons."
"Yes!" The two little girls agreed crisply. They were both wearing cloaks outside. Without the cloaks, they were simply mobile armories, with two swords on their backs, various mechanical hidden weapons on their arms and calves and ankles, a box gun on their waists, and rows of bullets on their belts.
The two little girls are petite and cute, and they are not the muscular type like in Qing'e. They just look like two soft and adorable little lolis. I can only say that their inner cultivation skills are amazing.
Lu Ming looked at Granny Tuolong again and said, "Contact the infantry company and conduct a thorough investigation of families that may be raising pigeons."
Outside, there was a sudden knock on the door, "Zhang Jingji, Zhang Jingji?!"
Lu Ming frowned. From the voice he knew it was Manager Li who lived in the single room diagonally opposite, a Jiangbei wine merchant. He had bought a batch of liquor from Jiangnan. It was a mechanized distilled liquor with low cost and high alcohol content, and was very popular among the poor people in Jiangbei.
Manager Li is now stranded here, unable to advance or retreat.
He is very outgoing and often complains to people he sees in the yard. He regrets that he should not have gone through the Beiying Ferry to save on freight.
If I had taken the detour via Xin'an Bridge, I would have arrived home earlier today.
"My young master is asleep!" Grandma Tuolong responded in a hoarse voice.
"Then you're out of luck. I'm stewing pigeons over there!" Manager Wang laughed. "I'm leaving now. Zhang Jingji, if you can get up, come and have a drink. You're all upset. It's better for you to complain to everyone else and feel better."
Pigeon? Granny Tuolong looked at Lu Ming.
Lu Ming waved his hands and sighed in his heart. The pigeons in Beiying Town might be unlucky in the next two days, but there was nothing he could do about it.
