Isolated island

03 Isolated islands, tunnels and gunpowder

Big Islet, accompanied by East Islet and West Islet, is the farthest outlying island from the barren state.This archipelago extending from northeast to southwest is like a big lock, locking the entire West Sea area for the new Forbidden Kingdom whose regime has officially moved to the Barren State, and resolving the crisis that the Barren State was attacked by the Mu army by sea and land.However, because of the military responsibility of guarding the sea area, the front line of the Great Yttrium Island has long been reduced to a place of bloodbath by artillery shells and kite troops.

Such a tense situation has resulted in rigorous armaments throughout the island, a large number of establishments and frequent replacements, and a chilling atmosphere. In order to effectively defend the garrison strongholds, all military facilities and military personnel activities have been moved to "underground" - the so-called "underground" ", that is to make good use of the hard granite geology of the whole island, to dig out various tunnels and caves with manpower, to accommodate various types of naval guns, as well as a mighty [-] soldiers and their required supplies.

Using the earth as the shell greatly reduces the casualties and hazards of the Hungarian army's attack, and can also take advantage of the enemy's openness and darkness to catch them unprepared; and the tunnels extend in all directions, brightly lit, and well-equipped, just like a prosperous city rooted in the ground.

But in this city, there is no day and night that belong to nature, let alone the seasons and seasons that farmers rely on. It lives and counts its days completely according to the time and cycle of the enemy's attack.There will always be someone awake, and there will always be someone reminding the other party——Don't panic, and don't try to rest, otherwise the Great Yttrium Island will be the burial place for you and me.

If mainlanders come to Dayu Island, they will be surprised to find that the first lunar new year here is very short, almost as short as the blink of an eye. Compared with the slightly indulgent wine, it is warmer.After the stage in the lecture hall is quiet, it will be considered a new year, but what people here are happy is not that they are a year older or have a good harvest, but that they are lucky that they lived another year and did not die. Under the cannonballs or kite claws, they are a little closer to their long-cherished wish of retiring from the army and returning to their hometown.

That's what New Year's Day is about.

The new year is over, and the sky is not even bright, but the underground pier in the east corner is already full of traffic.Although there is sea fog in winter, this time also coincides with the New Year's Day, when the fighting situation is slowing down and the sea conditions are safe. Therefore, this period is also a busy month for the supply ships to and from the mainland and Dayu Island, almost every day When the ships entered the port, they came in a team of ten ships, supplying a huge amount of supplies-food rice, medical kerosene, artillery materials, gunpowder, gunpowder and flint.Sometimes there are new manpower.

This is the busiest time for Haiping's supply troops—they have to "grab the beach" in the shortest possible time, unload all the supplies on the ship, and collect them into the treasury after inventory.

Being able to accommodate ten fleets of support ships at a time is enough to show the hugeness of the East Point Wharf.To be more precise, the Dongjiao Wharf is a waterway. When the tide is high, the water depth is ten feet, and the width of the road can be spanned by a hundred-foot bridge, which can accommodate a huge tonnage support ship to park in the pit.Every time Haiping ran on the overhanging land road on both sides of the bank where only two people could pass by each other, he would be out of breath after turning back four or five times empty-handed, not to mention that his body and shoulders were almost as heavy as an adult's cast iron cannon fodder, which always made their baggage Bing complained in private that he couldn't go to bed because of the pain in his waist and limbs.Some tricksters will rush to log in before the ship docks, and choose light food and medicine to carry.

Haiping is often the last person to board the ship.Of course, his carelessness deserved nothing but such crude things as heavy gun charge, stinking kerosene, and dangerous gunpowder.

Just move it.He always told himself: If Ji Jiying wins it, he will not earn a sailing schedule to go home for himself.
