It's going to be dark.

The calm flotilla stationed overseas in Daito began to stir.

The people on board were busy: the soldiers were checking their weapons, the laborers were screaming, and now most of them were less seasick and their stomachs were rumbling.

The sailors began to divide breakfast.

A hot meal was served as much as possible on board the conditional ship.

The sailors divided wooden disposable lunch boxes.

When they opened it, it was snow-white rice, mixed with minced vegetables, and a whole fish and eggs.

The laborers and soldiers happily ate breakfast, and the originally depressed mood improved slightly.

After eating, a bowl of hot soup can be scooped from a steaming tin bucket: a miso soup made with broad bean paste, filled with dried fish and sea vegetables, which is warm and comfortable for the stomach.

The ships that could not serve hot meals were also divided into more haode dry rations: rations No. 1 were distributed.

A hard biscuit made with rice flour mixed with lard, nuts, egg powder, salt and sugar.

It is an emergency ration of the highest level.

With the exception of the Special Reconnaissance Team and a few naval sailors, the other indigenous units were never even seen.

The hot soup was delivered from a large boat in a dinghy.

Zhuo Tianmin insisted that everyone should have at least one bowl of hot soup.

This is not a meaningless benefit - the laborers need to replenish the physical energy expended by the six days of seasickness and anorexia.

There was still a lot of work waiting for them to do ashore, and the leaders, squadron leaders, and captains of the labor teams shuttled back and forth through the crowd, cheering everyone on and urging the laborers to pack up their equipment.

Landing is about to begin.

The crowd looked nervous, but there was no lack of excitement - the time of D day T was coming! More than 60 ships spent six days circumnavigating half of Hainan Island, and now they are about to embark on the largest maritime operation through the group, the first of countless landings in the future.

The outcome of their planning, preparation and training for months depends on this moment.

The ships lined up on the sea, waiting to enter the Great East China Sea in batches one by one.

"Let's get moving!" Wang Luobin, who was standing in the wheelhouse of the 8154 fishing boat, gave the order, and then he announced, "Now I will hand over the command to Li Haiping until we establish an advance command post on the shore." ”

Then, the radio and signal troops in the fleet were all busy, and one after another orders were distributed through radio waves, signal flags, and flags, and transmitted to every ship.

On the Swift Whale and the Great Whale, the cranes began to rumble, the wire ropes were stretched straight, and the bulky wooden motor boats were slowly hoisted from the deck into the sea, these were four transport boats, installed with small steam engines, each operated by four sailors, transporting 12 people and several supplies.

The motor boats were carrying advance troops to establish a landing ground at the mouth of the Luhuitou and Tiandu rivers, two in each place -- the landing would be carried out at multiple locations at the same time, so as to save the time of crossing and transshipment.

Luhuitou and Tianduhekou will each set up temporary outposts to facilitate the timely commencement of work.

The advance team will set up light and smoke markers at the landing site to facilitate the identification of subsequent ships day and night, and also carry large identification boards of different colors, and the ships going to different landing sites have mission cards: in addition to the mission content, the simplest point is which landing point to be transported to, and the card is the color of which landing point.

This method, with its simplicity and intuitiveness, is well suited to the general level of education of sailors.

It is said that this system is the master of Wende - he is obsessed with standardization.

"The country of the future is a country with an ISO system!" That's what he famously said.

Seeing that black smoke had been rising from the chimney of the motor boat, it began to start, and the Type 67 landing craft in the middle of the queue let out a huge roar, and white water splashed out from the tail, and this old landing craft once again played the role of the vanguard of the assault.

On the landing craft, there were two Dongfanghong crawler tractors equipped with bulldozers.

In the gap on both sides of the tractor, there were squeezed off-road motorcycles, scouts from the Sanya detachment of the newly formed special reconnaissance group, and all the personnel of a navy marine platoon.

The latter was looking at the former's equipment half enviously and half in surprise.

The scouts wore U.S. Marine Corps Bdu, full American gear, except for the helmet on their heads, which was an 8o steel helmet - synthetic helmets had an expiration date and were discarded at the beginning of their purchases.

The equipment of the special reconnaissance team was originally the most haode in the crossing group.

After the fortune of the sunken ship, it was a shotgun for a gun.

Each member of the regular team has one SKS, one of the most skilled marksmans is equipped with a scoped M44 Mosin Nagant rifle, and one member of the team who serves as fire support uses an MB77B1 automatic rifle.

There are also two team members who use shotguns.

Standing on the bridge, Qian Shuixie has a VZ68 on his shoulder, a Russian-made telescope on his chest, a g1ock17 stuck in his waist, a US military multi-purpose knife and a jungle machete on his buttocks, sunglasses, a walkie-talkie in his left hand, a 12-gauge pump-activated shotgun in his right hand, and a Labrador dog with a special life jacket tied to his feet.

If you have another cigar in your mouth.

He is a small leader of a South American guerrilla group.

Qian Shuixie was originally not in the special investigation team, he was pulled by Xue Ziliang.

The specialty of the Qian Shui Association is to drive heavy trucks to run transportation, and after day D, there is no serious work, sometimes working here, sometimes helping there, basically either driving or operating boats.

The organization department considered that it would be too wasteful for such a talent to continue to work as a driver in Xinshijie.

I've always wanted to get him a better place to play an errand.

Xue Ziliang has a good relationship with people in the North American department because of his play with guns - almost everyone in the North American department loves to play with guns.

At the suggestion of Xue Ziliang, Qian Shuixie decided to join the special investigation team.

Bei Wei welcomed the addition of this new combat force -- there are many people who are willing to be officers, but very few people are willing to join the special investigation team, and no one is stupid. Most people feel that they are not guilty of this sin.

Qian Shui Association thinks it doesn't matter, being idle anyway is idle, and being an ordinary person all the time doesn't mean that he comes to this new shijie for nothing? Only by getting ahead can you get greater benefits in the future! He has good physical strength and has experience in field activities and shooting competitions, especially ppeto1asso.

Under the bewitchment of Xue Ziliang, he officially participated in the special investigation team.

Within eight weeks, the Qianshui Association passed the basic training program of the normal 12-week training program.

Many projects took only a few days.

This made Bei Wei impressed.

No wonder the rice country is so arrogant: no country can compare with the mastery of weapons and machinery of the Midi people.

Of course, twelve weeks of training is far from enough, and the next advanced training is not very easy.

Before the start of the giant Jihua, Qian Shuixie was appointed as the leader of the Sanya detachment.

Bei Wei thought twice: the other team leaders - especially Chen Sigen and Xue Ziliang.

Xue Ziliang is a very useful instructor; Chen Sigen, there are too many places that need him in the group, and he is also the "director of the nutrition and fitness department of the Ministry of Health".

It is not advisable to send too far.

As for Ye Mengyan, Bei Wei was worried about letting this young man out alone - God knows what he would do.

In contrast, the Qian Water Association is the most hode candidate.

The only problem was that Qian Shuixie was a married man - in the first few months after landing, there was no way for his family to accompany the army, and it was not good to separate the two places.

For the sake of prudence, Bei Wei specifically consulted him.

"It's okay, I'm a soldier now, and it's my duty to obey orders."

The Qian Water Association did not hesitate to express its position.

"Your wife—" "It's okay, she's got a job on assignment now, and I can't go with it." ”

Qian Shuixie's wife, Zheng Shangjie, has been officially transferred to Guangzhou Station as a business representative.

Zheng Shangjie has worked as an agent in the United States: air ticket agent, cosmetics agent, health care product agent, insurance agent, travel company agent, copycat machine agent...... And so on and so forth, good at sales pitching.

Go to Guangzhou Station to belong to the professional counterpart.

"You can rest assured that your wife will go to work in enemy-occupied areas."

"It's okay, she's very good."

Qian Shuixie smiled hesitantly, "This, when will the maid benefit fee of our special investigation team ......" The appointment of a person who had recently joined the special investigation team - and a person who was also the helm of the North American division - as the captain caused the dissent of some highly vigilant nationalists.

Some people have pointed out that the current American color in the special investigation team is too strong, not counting the Qian Shui Association, and that Chen Sigen and Xue Ziliang are both Chinese-Americans among the three current squad leaders, and with the Qian Shui Association, three of the four detachments are in the hands of the "Yankees"! However, the appointment of the Qian Shui Association was still issued - it is said that it was strongly supported by the general manager.

The fifteen people under the command of Qian Shuixie are all carefully selected indigenous scouts, and they are not only high in battle, but also fully guaranteed in terms of loyalty.

The special reconnaissance team has no combat mission in Yulin.

The task assigned to the special reconnaissance team by the landing command is to set up a long-range guard on the periphery of Yulin Port to intercept and warn anyone who comes to the Yulin area on land.

The mission itself was simple: Yulin was almost isolated from the rest of the world in ancient society, and almost no one traveled to and from Yulin by land, except for the people of the interior and those who collected medicine and hunted.

It is not so much a combat as a tropical field adaptation training.

As for Qian Shuixie himself, he had to directly command a team to escort a mining team to Tiandu.

"Check all the equipment!" Qian Shuixie shouted, "Put on a life jacket!" Everyone took out the kapok-filled life jackets made by Lingao and quickly put them on their bodies and fastened them tightly.

"All of them!" The non-commissioned officers in the team checked each soldier's equipment, shouting and reporting one by one.

The landing craft drove faster and faster, and the waves began to splash in.

"Protect your weapons!" Qian Shuixie quickly put the muzzle of the submachine gun in a sleeve.

"Slow train! Watch the lookout! The captain of the landing craft was Mondstadt himself - there were a few reefs at the entrance to the Great East China Sea that made it difficult for inexperienced Native Navy cadets to pilot him.

Mondstadt looked at his watch, it was less than ten minutes past 5 o'clock, and it was just six o'clock at T o'clock.

According to the landing plan, at T1, Yulinbao will send a pilot boat to meet the landing vanguard.

But until now, no dinghy has appeared from the line of sight.

Mondstadt was a little anxious, there was a radio on Boat 67, but he didn't know the frequency of calls from Yulimburg.

"There is a rowing boat approaching at 3 o'clock ahead!" The lookout post shouted.

"Sound the alarm, the whole ship is on alert!" Mondstadt gave the order, and at the sound of the siren of the whistle, the machine gun on the starboard side was pointed in the direction of 3 o'clock.

"There's a flag on board," the lookout post continued, "yellow flag." ”

"Alarm cleared!" This is the pilot boat of Yulinbao, and the yellow flag is the identification contact signal of the day.

On board the boat was Shi Jinxi, a corporal of the naval corporal stationed in Yulinburg, who himself was a fisherman, and during these days in Yulin, he drove the boat to fish and catch sea vegetables, not only enriching the food supply, but also finding out all the reefs, dark sands, shallow talks, and tidal currents along the entire coast of the Great East China Sea.

It was under his leadership that the exploration team drew up the entire Great East China Sea region.

Now he was ordered by Wang Tao to lead the first batch of landing ships into the Dadong Sea.

The first batch of landing formations, guided by rowboats, headed for the Great East China Sea Bay.

Buoys have been set up on a series of reefs in the Great East China Sea.

The sea conditions here are not too complicated, and a little attention can be done to avoid mistakes.

This will be in Yulinburg, where everyone is busy preparing for the first fleet.

Since a week ago, the sailors, under the command of Bai Guoshi, marked the channel with buoys in the bay in front of Yulin Fort and divided the mooring area - for this purpose, an entire shipload of buoys was brought in from Lingao a month in advance, and each buoy was identified by a flag with a flagpole 6 meters high.

Unable to produce brightly colored paint, they had to use a red flag dyed by the soil method as an identification mark.

In order to correctly identify the channel, landing area and berthing area at night, there are some light buoys, which are equipped with gas lamps, and at the bottom of the buoys is a small gas stove, which can be filled with fuel for six hours at a time.

With the help of the advance team of Lingao Construction, Yulinbao also made other preparations, including the expansion of the aqueduct and the construction of a cement reservoir to serve as a fresh water supply station.

Septic tanks for public toilets have also been dug up.

After the first batch of laborers landed, they only needed to assemble the components brought by the ship, and it took less than one hour to complete the construction and put it into use.
