Chapter 17: The Battle of Honor
Lin Yiyang, the old commander of Lin Yi, commanded: "All stand upright!" The soldiers in the audience immediately stood up in unison. Old Commander Lin then said in a serious and heavy tone: "The mechanized elite troops are really all good. Comrade Liu Yun obeyed the order! "Here! I immediately responded loudly. "Do you have the confidence to complete the successful launch of the 'Shenlong' battleship into the sea and set sail?!" "Guaranteed to complete the mission!" I said firmly. "Good! I now appoint you as the commander-in-chief of this project, and the construction machinery department of the entire mechanized elite unit will temporarily put the task of setting sail for the 'Shenlong' battleship at your disposal, and strive to complete the task in the shortest possible time! Do you have confidence! ”
The fighters in the audience responded loudly: "Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Commander Lin smiled with satisfaction: "The departure mission will be executed immediately!" ”
…… At the end of 2012, it was early winter, but it was not cold, and this year was the end of the world, with earthquakes, tsunamis, mudslides, and other disasters sweeping across the country. When we arrived at the assembly plant of the Shenlong battleship by helicopter, we found that the situation here was actually very bad, the violent earthquake had shaken the entire assembly plant in pieces, and the Shenlong battleship, which was ostentatious and powerful, was stranded in the smelly mud in an inclined shape; Several of the cranes used to assemble the battleship were loaded into the deep mud. The old general Qiu Xiaoluo said to me: "Little comrade, you see, the equipment that used to be here was damaged by the earthquake, and we have a lot of machinery and equipment, but we can't operate it...... "In my opinion, old general," I said, pointing to the scattered components of the equipment in the distance, "we will first build a solid platform for the equipment that has fallen in the mud, and then repair it and use it again." Then from the forward position of the battleship to the cliff, the sliding track was laid with a bridge erection car; Finally, the Shenlong battleship was placed with a heavy crane at the cliff. What do you think? ”
After thinking for a while, the old general Qiu looked at the dejected Shenlong battleship in front of him and thought for a while, and responded in an approving tone: "Your plan is okay, it's very realistic, it seems that the person surnamed Lin didn't choose the wrong person!" He laughed with satisfaction. "Where is the head of the Ordnance Division?" I turned back to the guards behind me and shouted, "Come to me now!" It didn't take much effort for the guard to bring me a commander with the rank of captain, this person's name is Xue Weiguo, who only has an empty rank and no authority here, probably because of the special military branch of the mechanized elite troops, and there are many cases like Xue Weiguo. Because of my low rank, a second lieutenant, and here only the position of chief engineer commander, I immediately saluted the captain as soon as I saw him. "Captain Xue, I am the person in charge of the 'Shenlong' sailing project, and I have the right to ask you to immediately respond to the action in the shortest possible time!" Captain Xue Weiguo replied with a military salute: "It is my honor to serve in the mechanized elite army, and it is my duty to contribute to the construction of the motherland. It seems that this captain is not as arrogant as I thought. We came to the temporary command office located on the bank of the river, which was actually a YW703 multi-purpose armored command vehicle, which was spacious and bright, and there was a sand table in the compartment. I pointed to the design drawings and said to Xue Weiguo: "Captain, you see, the Shenlong used to be close to the river bank, but now due to the earthquake, it has been moved from its original position to the center of the river, and we must now move the crane and assembly equipment on the shore to a position close to the battleship." Big Yellow Tooth interjected on the side: "Lao Liu, are you going to use a helicopter this time?" Big Yellow Fang wanted to save his face in front of the chief. But then again, this time I'm really going to use a large helicopter. "Not bad!" I responded, "Captain Xue, the eight pieces of equipment on this shore must be lifted by helicopter to the port and starboard positions of the Shenlong battleship, we will first lift the Shenlong battleship away from the riverbed, and then use the bridge erection vehicle to lay the slipway...... Xue Wei Chinese said calmly: "Comrade Liu Yun, you can give the order!" Say what equipment do you need now, and how many do you need each? I suddenly felt that Xue Weiguo's words were actually very much like instructing me on how to be a commander on the battlefield. I looked at the drawings, and after careful calculation, I said solemnly: "Captain, more than 100 sorties of Mi-26 helicopters, at least 55 LTL-2600B cranes, and 300 Type 84 tank bridge erection vehicles......" Old General Qiu's eyes widened as he listened, and he asked, "Little comrade, this is military and operational!" Can't tolerate you kidding here, can you use so much equipment? I smiled and said, "General, don't worry, I, Liu Yun, am sure to complete the task victoriously!" ”
Captain Xue Weiguo asked as if reminding me, "Comrade Liu Yun, what other equipment do you need?" When was the equipment in place? "All the equipment was deployed immediately and we were able to get here in the shortest possible time. In addition, I need combat troops to guard ......" "I'm sorry Comrade Liu Yun, I don't have the right to transfer the combat troops, if you need it, I can recommend Captain Gao Changfeng to you......" "Thank you, Captain Xue!" I immediately saluted. After Xue Weiguo left, I immediately discussed the repair matter with the old general Qiu Xiaomiao on the sand table table. Big Yellow Tooth sneered twice on the side, and Old General Qiu glanced at him with a stern gaze, and Big Yellow Tooth became serious. I was puzzled and asked, "Comrade Huangya, what are you laughing at?" Big Yellow Fang said: "I didn't expect that our such an advanced warship would need so much equipment to launch and set sail!" I said angrily, "What? Shall we hold the dragon into the water with our hands? "I didn't mean that!" Big Yellow Tooth said with a look on his face, "I didn't expect that my country's weapons are so advanced, but the tactical materials are all foreign, the old general, you said, our China is still the world's first power, you look at these belongings, it's really not enough to be cold......"
However, what Big Yellow Tooth said is really true to the voice of those of us young people with strong patriotism, a superpower like China has developed its economy and civilian science and technology to its best in recent years, but there are very few high-tech weapons used in strategy, and New China has been established for so many years, and it does not even have a self-built aircraft carrier, and this national condition is indeed quite worrying. I answered: "That's right, old general, you see, our country's advanced combat weapons and combat materials are indeed far behind those of Europe and the United States, and although our combat capability can barely keep pace with others, a considerable part of the equipment we use in conventional tactics is imported from abroad, including the engines and other precision parts of advanced fighters with our own intellectual property rights...... If we break off diplomatic relations with our partner countries, then our national defense capabilities will be really mysterious. ”
The old general Qiu Xiaolu said with a solemn expression: "The young man doesn't know anything! As a powerful country, its strength lies not in how much industry and technology it has, but in how much it can contribute to the world...... Our Chinese nation is a country of etiquette, an ancient civilization, and a country that is by no means competitive with others, and we will never be like some countries that are manufacturing murderous weapons, and the reason why we are developing the economy first is to make every corner of the world no longer have poverty and famine! The old general blushed with me and Big Yellow Tooth in a few words. When Xue Weiguo hoisted the tactical equipment in countless large transport helicopters, it was already nearly evening. The blood-like glow echoed the lava gushing out of the East China Sea, mirroring our camp like a furnace. In a hurry, I didn't dare to let Xue Weiguo land his transport helicopter troops, because the take-off and landing of helicopters requires a lot of ground maintenance, which will consume a lot of time. Under the red sky, which was crowded with large transport helicopters, I stood in the open area and began to radio the helicopters to lift the equipment to the silt-covered riverbed. At this time, the night was late, and the sky was long gone, but because of the lava splattered from the bottom of the sea in the distance, the visibility was still very high, but it was enough to withstand the cloudless moonlit night, and countless lights were lit up in the camp, and the snow light illuminated every corner. (Of course, you can't shine into the sky, because that would affect the helicopter pilot's line of sight.) "Comrade Liu Yun, Captain Gao Changfeng is on the communication channel!" Big Yellow Fang handed over the military walkie-talkie. "Hello Comrade Captain, I'm Liu Yun, the commander-in-chief of the project!" Captain Gao Changfeng's tone on the radio sounded very resolute: "Hello Comrade Liu Yun, I am ordered by Commander Lin to cooperate with you to complete the task of setting sail!" "How did you arrange the covering troops? Captain Gao? "Two Black Hawk helicopters and 20 combat crews, as well as four SX-1 paratrooper assault vehicles and two Type 90 armored fighting vehicles lifted from the helicopter, plus eight Wuzhi 10 and four Wuzhi 9! Over"
As soon as I heard the situation reported by Captain Gao Changfeng, I couldn't help but be overjoyed, it seems that this operation Commander Lin Lao has made a big move, combining land and air tactics, even if the alien machine lurking in the East China Sea region even if he gives us a surprise attack, it may not be able to succeed. However, what if there is a vertical attack from space? Gao Changfeng replied: "This, Comrade Liu Yun, rest assured, the missile units of the military region are ready to open fire at any time, and as long as there is a situation, the interceptor missile will take off at any time!" Gao Changfeng said on the radio. Qiu Xiaomiao, who was supervising the installation of equipment on the side, couldn't help but show a satisfied smile on his face when he saw my arrangement of action: "Are young people very good!" It seems that the mechanized elite army is indeed a place to produce talents! General Qiu continued: "When I was incorporated into the mechanized elite army, I was always a little unhappy in my heart, I always thought that I had fought so many battles, and now I still have to go into the study class with a group of dolls, and I ......feel a little like I am going home more and more mixed up!" "Hahaha!" I laughed happily with the old general. After the large transport helicopter group that lifted the installation equipment flew away, several large cranes were already located around the Shenlong battleship. Without further ado, the whole team did not rest, and began to work overnight under the illumination of countless lights. The bridge erection vehicle was firmly planted directly in the silt, the bridge plate was unfolded, and the pulley plate was laid on the bridge plate, and then the crane lifted the Shenlong battleship and smoothly moved it to the bridge plate installed with pulleys on the bridge erection vehicle. In this way, the entire huge battleship was safely moved to the edge of the cliff on the fracture surface. The roar of helicopters came from the sky again, this was Gao Changfeng's helicopter unit coming, but only a few Wuzhi 9 helicopters flew over with paratrooper assault vehicles, and there was no Wuzhi 10 formation. Gao Changfeng explained that the amphibious landing ship where the attack helicopters are stationed is not far from here, and if there is a situation, it will arrive in less than five minutes. The helicopter flew away after smoothly placing the assault vehicle on the ground, except for one that landed on the bridge board of the tank bridge truck, and out of the cabin came an officer with the rank of captain, needless to say, who was regularly high and windy. Captain Gao first saluted the old general Qiu Xiaomiao, and then saluted me: "It is my honor to participate in the sailing mission of the Shenlong battleship, Comrade Liu Yun!" "The Shenlong is China's show off to the world, and this is exactly what every one of our fighters is proud of, Captain!" I replied solemnly. Gao Changfeng then asked: "Does Comrade Liu Yun know the details of the spacecraft from outer space?" I replied worriedly, "It's huge, it's absolutely stealthy, and it's capable of radio jamming, so it's unclear if it's an attack threat...... Since it has been hidden at the bottom of the sea, and now due to the violent movement of the plates, the rock layers have broken down, forming many underwater volcanoes. Therefore, it is inconvenient to understand many situations, and only after the Shenlong battleship goes to sea can we know whether this outer space ship is an enemy or a friend. Since Gao Changfeng was only one of the members of this operation, he only needed to know a little about the task, and he couldn't do anything about too many things, so he had to say: "We will do our best to ensure that the mission is successfully completed!" "Strive for victory finished!" After saying that, I saluted Captain Gao Changfeng. After settling in for a while, the old general Qiu went to rest in the tent in the camp. I accompanied Gao Changfeng to find Xue Weiguo, who was busy directing the mobile battleship in the riverbed, and the two captains hugged each other happily as soon as they met, but they were scolding each other, "You are not dead yet, surnamed Xue?" I thought you were rotting in the dirt! "I thought you had wildflowers on your grave!" Xue Weiguo's resolute gaze was a little moist, which was the emotion of excitement when he saw his old comrades-in-arms. I was stunned and said, "So the two chiefs know each other?" Xue Weiguo pursed his lips hard and resolutely replied: "Yes, Commander-in-Chief Liu, Comrade Gao Changfeng blocked a bullet for me in the trench back then, and I will never forget his friendship with me in this life!" However, Gao Changfeng said something that made Xue Weiguo's heart cold: "No matter who was injured at that time, I would stand up to block the bullet for him, unless it was an enemy!" "Haha, hahaha!" We laughed together.
At this time, the voice of Big Yellow Fang came from the radio: "Commander Liu, the Shenlong battleship has been safely moved to the cliff, and the crane has been prepared, please instruct!" "In the shortest possible time, quickly paste the thermal insulation material on the shell of the battleship!" Since the Shenlong battleship had been stranded in the mud and could not be insulated on its exterior, it was now possible to take advantage of the time when a crane was available to suspend it. The three of us immediately came to the edge of the cliff, only to see that the Shenlong battleship had successfully arrived at the edge of the cliff from the bridge deck of the bridge erection vehicle, and on the edge of the cliff, the heavy cranes on both sides had been properly arranged, as long as I gave an order, the Shenlong battleship with a light displacement of 120,000 tons could be lifted to the bottom of the cliff dozens of meters deep. Looking at the rolling magma in the depths of the cliffs and the volcanic smoke clouds on the surface of the East China Sea in the distance, my heart stirred up many waves: When the end of the world comes, can we defend our homeland from the invasion of extraterrestrial life?
