363 Attack on a boat
The area of Haikou Port belongs to the plain area of the sea seamount. It may be that this area, not far from the sea, was formerly converted from tidal flats, and the land here is very fertile, and has always been a grain producing area for the seamounts.
At this time, it is the season when the rice is ripe, and as far as the eye can see, there is an endless golden color.
After settling down, looking at the river that was much wider and deeper than the river in his previous life, and then looking at the golden rice on both sides of the river, He Xiaojun's mind couldn't help but sound the famous song: "A big river has wide waves, and the wind blows the fragrance of rice to the banks ......."
When the popular song sounded in He Xiaojun's mind, "If the jackal comes", he got a trace of something from the lyrics, and something hazy came out of his mind.
In order to capture the inspiration of this moment, He Xiaojun hurriedly looked at the surrounding situation, hoping to help his memory.
After sweeping this super prosperous small place, and then passing through the Haikou Bridge that spans both sides of the river and has only been built for a few years, staring at the winding road leading to Ningcheng on the other side of the bridge, He Xiaojun finally caught what he was thinking.
What He Xiaojun remembered was related to the place in front of him, this road and the jackal, and it was the information about the Japanese invasion of Haishan recorded in his previous life. That information records: The first fall of Haishan, the Japanese army attacked the county seat from this road through this place.
According to the historical records of the seamount, the inland fall of the seamount began in 1941.
On the third day of March of this year, three Japanese warships sailed to the surface of the vast sea of the seamount, and immediately used 22 motorboats, carrying more than 700 enemy soldiers, to attack in two ways: one to attack Guanghai, the southernmost coastal town of the seamount; All the way up the Datong River estuary, straight to the Haikou port where He Xiaojun is now.
Due to the lack of defense, there were no garrisons in the two places at that time, and the two places soon fell into the hands of the Japanese army.
After the two enemy forces met at Haikou Port, they crossed the Haikou Bridge and went straight to Ningcheng along the highway known as Haichi.
Because the defenders of Ningcheng were limited, and most of the residents of the city had been evacuated, the government at that time abandoned the city, and at 4 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, the Japanese army entered the city, and Ningcheng was declared to have fallen.
After thinking of this history, He Xiaojun couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. In the past, he had only paid attention to the county seat where he had settled, and neglected the place where the Japanese army landed in front of him, so he never let Mayor Xie come here to set up defenses.
Now that he remembers this history, He Xiaojun naturally wants to give some tips to Haishan's supreme commander, who is also his father-in-law and Haishan's garrison commander, and his eldest brother, so that they can be prepared.
Although, after the Chen Village incident, He Xiaojun had doubts about the history he knew, and he couldn't remember whether the mayor and garrison commander at that time were Mayor Xie and Platoon Commander Liu, but the two current military and political leaders of Haishan were his relatives and friends, and he naturally tried his best to help them avoid danger.
He Xiaojun, who sorted out his thoughts, asked Mayor Xie and Platoon Commander Liu to get together, and then dipped tea and drew a history on the table After looking at the map drawn by He Xiaojun, it was a person like Mayor Xie who did not understand military affairs, and he also saw the importance of this position, and of course a veteran like Platoon Commander Liu did not need to be said.
Therefore, the three of them immediately seized the gap between He Xiaojun and the other ship, discussed a set of outlines of how the army and the people should jointly defend if the Japanese army landed here, and prepared to plan the defense of this important place in detail after they returned.
After He Xiaojun and they waited for about an hour, the boat finally came.
The ship to Hong Kong was a simple passenger liner.
To put it simply, it is only because the rest of the deck of the ship is unobstructed except for the cockpit. Moreover, passengers were only given a simple bench made of a few long wooden planks.
To put it mildly, this ship can only seat about thirty or forty people.
After saying goodbye to Mayor Xie and Platoon Commander Liu, He Xiaojun took the second lady Xie Huanhuan, Alan and Ah Lian sisters on the small passenger ferry.
Finally, the little passenger ferry started, looking at her father's figure that was gradually moving away, the second lady Xie Huanhuan, who seemed to be carefree and carefree on weekdays, probably remembered that she didn't know when she would be able to get together with her father and the relatives who left Haishan, and couldn't help crying.
He Xiaojun looked at his hometown that had been far away and the two relatives and friends who saw him off, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness.
Although, He Xiaojun went abroad this time, it is estimated that after more than a year, the schedule of his official wife Xie Tingting should arrive, and at that time, he will definitely come back to take her to the sea. Otherwise, in this troubled world, how can he rest assured that a woman will float across the ocean by herself?
In other words, after more than a year, He Xiaojun will come back here. What he thinks about now is, I wonder what will become of the seamount in more than a year? Moreover, in this chaotic day, can your relatives and friends be safe and sound during this time?
Haishan is located in the southwestern border of Guangdong, just over 80 nautical miles away from Hong Kong and even closer to Macao, just over 60 nautical miles.
However, because the tonnage of the small passenger ferry they took was too small to fight the wind and waves, they could only drive along the edge of the coast, which made this journey a lot longer.
Moreover, the speed of ships at that time was not very high, only more than 10 to 20 knots per hour, so it took about five or six hours for Haishan to travel to Hong Kong.
At that time, small passenger ferries from Hong Kong departed from Hong Kong every three days, and each flight departed from Hong Kong early in the morning and returned to Hong Kong in the evening.
Considering the position near the side of the boat, not only will it be bumpy, but it will also be wet by the waves, He Xiaojun and they occupy a central position.
Rao is like this, it is still uncomfortable to ride in such a small boat, and people with poor balance will be bumped and seasick.
What He Xiaojun didn't expect was that the second lady Xie Huanhuan and Ah Lian, two seemingly relatively strong women, were seasick, and the body saw that Xie Huanhuan and Ah Lian had vomited many times, their faces were so pale that they were frightening, and the heartache He Xiaojun let them sit next to him left and right, lay down on their laps to rest, and put their hands on their backs, inputting a trace of true qi into them, and the two women settled down.
From Haishan to Hong Kong, all the way through the coasts of Zhuhai and Shenzhen in his previous life, He Xiaojun knew that these places had fallen, and that Japanese warships would haunt the waters in this area all the time, so he raised his vigilance all the way and paid attention to the situation around him.
The world is like this, it does not change due to people's will, although He Xiaojun has increased his vigilance, what he doesn't want to encounter still happens.
Since the boat did not dare to sail in the middle of the sea, it had to walk close to the shoreline, so the boat was always within range of almost any shore.
When the ship sailed to the junction of Zhuhai and Shenzhen, which should have been He Xiaojun's previous life, in the dense low woods on the shore, rows of deadly bullets suddenly fired at the small passenger ferry He Xiaojun and the others were on.
