Chapter VII Pre-Landing Questions

The traversers yawned and went back to sleep, while the nine commissioners remained in the cafeteria to prepare for tomorrow's landing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIn view of the fact that the first day of the meeting lasted all day, and that all the materials and the division of labor had not yet been counted and arranged, the Committee decided to postpone the landing date by one day. After agreeing on several issues that need to be resolved urgently, another debate has sparked over the choice of landing sites. Zhang Guodong, Jiang Beiming and Wang Hua, the three former and active military manpower masters, chose Yulin Port as the landing site, for a very simple reason, it was a military port in later generations, the water was deep and the waves were calm, surrounded by mountains, it was a natural harbor, and it was extremely conducive to defense. Nie Zhongbin, Sun Dalei and Tan Jing advocated landing in Yalong Bay, the reason is also very simple, Yalong Bay stretches for 7 kilometers and is gentle and wide, surrounded by green mountains on three sides, rich in animal and plant resources, and has great development potential.

The two sides are arguing with each other, and no one can convince anyone. Shi Xianyang poked Xu Lang, who was drowsy next to him: "What is your opinion?" ”

Xu Lang suddenly opened his eyes that had already been closed, and looked around in confusion: "The meeting is over?" Then I'll go back to sleep. ”

Everyone burst into laughter, and Shi Xianyang said with a smile: "Who told you that the meeting was dismissed and asked your opinion, whether it will land in Yalong Bay or Yulin Bay?" ”

"Oh, that's it." Xu Lang stretched out his tongue and licked his dry lips, stretched out his finger to point at Jiang Beiming, and said, "Aren't you going to land in Yulin Bay?" He pointed at Nie Zhongbin again, "Aren't you going to Yalong Bay?" That's not easy, each of them came up with a landing plan, and tomorrow they will continue to hold a crossing meeting and vote. Isn't this over, can we quarrel until dawn and get a result? What a big deal, Lu Lao, announce the dismissal of the meeting, I really can't hold it. ”

Everyone looked at each other, Lu Tianxiang looked around, and said: "It's not early, I think so, just do what Xiao Xu said, everyone should rest early, tomorrow, oh, it should be today, there is still a lot of work to be done, in this way, Guodong, at dawn, you take someone to count the materials that can be used on the two ships first, and you two sides each come up with a landing plan, and we will continue to meet at noon." Don't complain about having too many meetings, some things really can't be done without meetings, work together. ”

Xu Lang was woken up by a radio sound, and it was almost 12 noon. Sun Tianhao dragged him to the restaurant, where the traversers were gathering in the restaurant to eat, and some of them were holding a few pieces of paper in their hands. Some people were surrounding Jiang Beiming and Nie Zhongbin, and they were asking some questions. Seeing Xu Lang and them walking into the restaurant, Zhang Guodong greeted him while handing over a few pieces of paper: "This is the material statistics and their landing plan, you can take a look first, eat something, and the meeting will be held soon." ”

"It's meeting again, and the document has been sent, I said that your committee can do something practical?" Sun Tianhao muttered a little dissatisfied, took out a box of cigarettes, and handed one to Xu Lang and Zhang Guodong.

Zhang Guodong waved his hand and pushed away the cigarettes handed over: "Save some smoking, the cigarettes may also be distributed by the public." ”

"What?" Sun Tianhao tilted his head and looked at Zhang Guodong, "I said that you really have to be communist." ”

"If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, you don't know how expensive they are." Xu Lang clicked on the materials in his hand and said, "Two ships are just such things, what is this enough for?"

"yes, we're having a hard time." Zhang Guodong nodded.

"I'll see." Sun Tianhao stretched out his hand to take over the materials, the first one was material statistics, which read:

1. Food, according to the daily intake of 750 grams per person, can last for 7 days. Fresh water is maintained for 10 days.

2. Guns and ammunition, one twin 14.5 high machine, 3,000 rounds of ammunition, one 5.8 95 machine gun, 2,000 rounds of ammunition, 20 03 rifles, 3,000 rounds of bullets, 4 54 pistols, 63 rounds of bullets, 24 grenades, one grenade launcher, 10 rounds of grenades, one 85 sniper rifle, 50 rounds of bullets, 1,000 rounds of 37 mm naval gun shells, 1,500 rounds of 30 mm naval gun shells, and 6 missiles.

3. A number of first-aid drugs, a set of simple surgical instruments, and 20 military first-aid kits.

4. There are a total of 105 knives of all kinds.

5. Fuel oil 20 tons.

6. 4 fire axes, 8 shovels, 12 sapper shovels, a chain saw, and a number of various maintenance tools.

7. 2 rubber boats and 4 lifeboats.

。。。。。。

Sun Tianhao was looking down, and Sun Dalei's voice sounded in the microphone: "Members, please be quiet." We are now in a meeting. ”

The traversers who were talking in the restaurant all fell silent, and Sun Dalei continued: "Everyone has seen the information at hand, and the difficulties we are facing now are still not small, especially the lack of food and various equipment, but please don't worry, we will definitely overcome the current difficulties and win the landing under the leadership of Lu Lao and the committee." ”

"This guy thinks he's the chief of staff and making a report." Someone in the crowd muttered something quietly.

Sun Dalei frowned slightly, and continued: "I will first inform you of the resolution formed by the committee last night. First, from now on, all supplies will be rationed, especially food and drinking water. All food and fresh water brought by everyone should also be handed over, and we hope that everyone can understand and cooperate in this regard. Second, 2 ships will no longer be powered except for essential needs, as our fuel is now limited. Thirdly, the landing will take place tomorrow. As for the landing site, I have temporarily chosen one of Yalong Bay and Yulin Bay, and there is also a more detailed analysis and explanation in the information in your hands, so I will not say more. If you have any questions or additions, you can say what you want, and the final resolution is still to be voted on by all members. However, I would like to remind you that once the General Assembly has voted on it, we still hope that you will unconditionally obey the arrangement, after all, we are now in this same boat, and only by twisting together can we solve the current problem. ”

After Sun Dalei finished speaking, the traversers below began to chatter each other. Everyone basically has no opinions on the first two points, but there are still some doubts about the choice of landing site.

"Commissar Sun." Someone began to ask, "Didn't we find an ancient city yesterday, why don't we just occupy it, and the machine gun sweeps it, won't it be solved, wouldn't that save a lot of trouble?" ”

"I'll answer that." Lu Tianxiang took the microphone on the side, "According to the committee's resolution last night, we think that we can't have a direct conflict with the Ming Dynasty now, and there is no problem in taking Yazhou, but what to do after we take it, we will directly be the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, if the Ming Dynasty government dispatches troops, with our current strength, it is difficult to hold Yazhou, and according to the current situation, the possibility of us returning to the 21st century is very small, then we must take root in Hainan, and we will definitely use the local population resources of Hainan in the future, So at the moment there can be no conflict with the Ming Dynasty, on the contrary, before we have a firm foothold, we must also help the Ming government and the locals to some extent, so that they can accommodate us. ”

"Captain Chiang." After Lu Tianxiang finished explaining, another traverser then asked, "What are the benefits of our landing in Yulin Bay?" ”

"That's how I see it." Jiang Beiming replied, "Yulin Port was an important military port in the South China Sea in our time. The bay covers an area of about 37 square kilometers, surrounded by mountains on three sides, facing the sea on one side, and the water is deep and calm. Look here. ”

Jiang Beiming pointed to a large-scale map of Hainan hanging on the wall: "We currently have two machine guns, as long as we control these two commanding heights and set up a barrier here, we can completely control the northern land access to the port." On the sea, we have the No. 777 missile boat, and the maximum range of the 37mm guns on the speedboat is 9,000 meters, and in the current era, even the artillery on the most advanced Western warships may not be able to hit 1,000 meters. Therefore, we can completely use the missile boat as a sea battery to control the sea surface, not to mention that we have radars on both ships. Of course, we also have missiles. I think that no matter what we do next, the first thing we need to do after logging in is to keep ourselves safe. I served in the South China Sea Fleet before I crossed, and I am still very familiar with Yulin Port. In addition, there is a river near the port, and the problem of drinking water can be solved. ”

"So, isn't Yalong Bay unsuitable for defense?" The questioner then pressed on.

"Look." Jiang Beiming pointed to the map again, "The width of Yalong Bay reaches 7.5 kilometers, we can't take care of it left and right, and its shallow sea area is more than 50 meters wide, and the water depth is not suitable for the draft of our two ships." Therefore, I do not think it is suitable for landing in Yalong Bay. ”

"Commissioner Sun, why did you propose Yalong Bay?" Another person asked.

"That's what we think." Sun Dalei replied, "Yulin Bay is good from a military point of view, but there are too few resources. And Yalong Bay is rich in forestry resources, and there are all kinds of wild animals, the first thing we do after landing must be to build a house to eat, even if we farm now, we can't grow food immediately, our food is only enough to eat for 7 or 8 days, we must hunt. Moreover, the geographical area of Yalong Bay should be enough for future development. ”

"Yulin Bay itself also has forests, and besides, we can organize hunting teams and logging teams, and this problem is easy to solve." Jiang Beiming said.

"How to transport, do we rely on 2 feet? The prey is okay to say, what about the wood? Sun Dalei asked.

"Water transport, don't we have a lifeboat."

"What about safety? Can number 777 escort? ”

"Commissar Sun. Yulin Bay and Yalong Bay are separated by a Jinmu Horn and White Tiger Horn, the route distance is only more than ten kilometers, if there is really something, the speed of 777 is 30 knots, and it can be reached in 20 minutes. ”

。。。。。。

In the final vote, the vast majority of people chose Yulin Bay. At this time, it is better to trust a soldier than to trust a chief of staff.

The meeting did not end until before dark in the evening. All of the 319 traversers, with the exception of 6 children, were assigned jobs, and each knew his or her duty. The commander-in-chief of the landing was determined to be Jiang Beiming.

When the two ships were moored outside Yulin Bay, it was already dark, this was the first time that the travelers had spent a dark night without any lighting, most of them were lying in their beds, everyone was more or less nervous and excited, after all, when the sun rose again in the east, a new life in a new world was about to begin.

Xu Lang lay on the bed, constantly sniffing the only cigarette left under his nose. The great interest of the two Ming Xiucai in modern cigarettes and glassware on the ship led the committee to make a resolution to confiscate all the cigarettes, mirrors, and especially ladies' vanity cases carried by the traversers, so that they could be exchanged with the Ming people at the right time. Of course, this caused an outcry from all the women. Women don't wear makeup? It's better to skip a meal. Tan Jing even proposed the establishment of a women's federation to defend women's rights. In the end, the result of the compromise was that an old smoker like Xu Lang, who had 2 packs of cigarettes a day, was limited to 2 cigarettes a day, while 50 women could only share 2 vanity boxes.
