The next night, a soldier patrolling the seashore held his gun and said, "Sergeant, do you think there is something going on in the east? I don't believe it. Hasn't it been so noisy recently?"
The squad leader next to him slapped him on the head and said, "Why do you care so much? Just pay attention when the commander tells you to. Who knows, you might find something?"
The soldier was a little unconvinced, "There has never been anything like this happening in the waters near our island. Even if there is something going on, it shouldn't be so close."
"All of you, stay alert and don't let your guard down. If I find out who is not on patrol, I will make you run twenty more laps after the patrol."
The calm sea was endless, and in the dark it was even harder to see the sea surface, only darkness. At night, only the island not far behind them had lights on, and the sound of the waves around them was particularly clear.
Suddenly, a soldier holding a telescope in the watchtower on the coast shouted, "Sergeant, come and see! Is there any movement over there?"
The squad leader immediately stepped forward to take the telescope and looked towards the sea. "What did you find?"
"Just now there seemed to be a light on the sea surface over there."
The squad leader was suspicious, "No, I didn't see it."
"Impossible, I clearly saw it just now, it's very strange, the light just flashed for a moment, very faint."
The squad leader returned the binoculars to the soldier and said, "No matter what, keep watching. Find a few more people to watch with you. If you find anything, notify us immediately."
Ten minutes later, there was movement on the sea again. Although it was only a flash this time, it was still seen by the soldiers who had been watching. So the squad leader immediately reported the matter to Zhou Yuanzheng.
"Deputy Captain, we found traces of what appears to be a large ship at around 11pm on the east coast of the island, 30 nautical miles away."
After they found something wrong, they immediately used professional tools to detect the eastern sea area, but they could only see a little bit.
Zhou Yuanzheng was gathering people while reporting the news. "Tell the brothers to be careful. I feel like something is wrong. Be careful. Send a team to take a look first. Use a small boat. Try not to alert the enemy. Just gather information."
"After finding out everything, return immediately and don't alarm them."
"Yes, Deputy Captain, I'll go right away."
The climate on the island is unpredictable. The lights in the inland area of the island gradually go out late at night. The drizzle falls unexpectedly and gradually gets heavier.
The rain pounded the coast and the boats mercilessly. Without anyone noticing, a small boat quietly set out from the dock. The boat was equipped with sufficient guns and ammunition.
The soldiers with rich experience in naval combat lurked in the shadows, motionless, staring closely at the movements on the sea.
The small boat was moving forward at a speed like a fish entering the sea, and stopped a few meters away from the large ship. Because their boat was small and did not make much noise, it did not attract the other party's attention.
They held telescopes and turned off all light-emitting devices on the ship. They saw that the opposite ship was parked near a small island. The island was small and the environment was harsh. Humans could hardly survive on it, so there were no troops stationed on the island for patrol.
At this time, a warship suddenly stopped here, so close to their country, I don't know what it was doing. Large ships have too deep draft, so the ship did not approach the island too close, but stopped at a certain distance from the shore, and then several small boats were lowered from the ship. I don't know what was on the boats. The group of people were obviously well-trained and were carrying something to the island.
