Chapter 349: Occupy the island
Nine boats headed for Zhoujia Island, and at a sea ten kilometers from the island, they met the A Division of the two regiments that had come to pick them up, so the soldiers of a battalion took the troop carriers and prisoners to Zhoujia Island.
With the strength of the four regiments, they immediately headed for the two Malay islands.
When they arrived not far from the Malay island, the four regiments of soldiers divided into two lines, two regiments each way, pounced on an island, and soon occupied the harbor and rushed to the island.
Compared to Cui Haitao's division, Fang Longshi's people were more merciful, as long as they laid down their weapons and gathered at the designated place, they spared the Malays.
And Cui Haitao's division is different, except for the women and children who Zhou Lin asked to be spared, as long as it is an adult man, they will kill, and soon, there will be no adult men on the island.
The frightened woman hurriedly covered the child's mouth to prevent them from crying.
They were afraid that when the children cried, the demons would kill them.
Cui Haitao ordered the people of the two islands to leave the two islands immediately with their property, and from now on, the two islands belonged to Zhoujia Island.
Three hours later, all the Malays who had not died on the island got on their ships and left.
They have relatives on other islands, and it was the Malays who forcibly occupied these two islands in the first place, so that a large number of Malays moved here.
Zhou Lin immediately sent troops to the two islands, and each island was garrisoned with a regiment.
At the same time, some Chinese were also arranged on these two islands.
Due to the complete range of buildings on these two islands, it didn't take long for the two islands to become popular.
Affected by the news of Zhoujiadao's victory, another 50,000 Chinese from other places moved to Zhoujiadao.
Now, the fame of Zhoujiadao has spread all over the Malays, and the Malays who escaped have spread the news that the people of Zhoujiadao killed people when they saw them, causing shock in the surrounding area.
As a result, the Malays called Zhoujia Island Alcatraz.
There was a Malay woman who scared the disobedient child and said, "Send you to Zhoujia Island." ”
Although Zhoujiadao is notorious, there are more and more people who come to Zhoujiadao to do business.
Because of doing business in Zhoujiadao, Zhoujiadao has the strength to protect them.
On the third day of the ambush, Zhou Lin sent people to the last outsider's petal island to meet the owner of the island, and offered to buy the island in order to strengthen the defense of Zhoujia Island.
The owner of the island immediately agreed, and offered to sell it at the price he had bought ten years earlier.
Ten years ago, he bought the island for only three thousand dollars.
But Zhou Lin disagreed, and finally bought the last petal island for $50,000, and since then, Zhoujiadao petal island has taken shape.
Just one day before Zhou Lin bought Petal Island, the quartermaster of the US military base, accompanied by Smith, came to visit Zhou Lin.
"Your island group has been formed, do you need a protective chain?" The colonel asked.
Zhou Lin's heart moved, he was thinking about this problem, and the colonel came to the door.
"Say it! What else do you have that I can use? ”
The colonel stretched out his finger, doing business with someone like Zhou Lin was a pleasure.
"Thirty coastal guns with a range of 30 kilometers. As long as you deploy it here, you can form an artillery strike network at a distance of 30 kilometers, and any warships and sea attack carriers will be wiped out. ”
When Zhou Lin heard this, he was taken aback, this was terrifying.
Coastal artillery refers to artillery that is deployed on land and mainly shoots at sea targets.
It is mainly used to shoot at various surface targets, and some artillery is deployed in a position that can also fire at nearby ground targets.
It is used to defend naval bases, ports, important coastal areas and coastlines, or to support offshore ships.
Some of the guns were specifically designed for coastal defense, while others were adapted from those used by the Army. The deployment methods can be divided into three categories: fixed turrets, fixed positions and mobile positions.
And now the colonel offered a coastal defense gun of the fixed turret type.
The fixed turret is similar to the turret on warships and vehicles, and the turret can be rotated.
These turrets vary according to the size of the gun, and large turrets can be reinforced buildings made of reinforced concrete, with coastal guns placed inside, allowing the muzzles to rotate at certain angles.
Smaller turrets may be specially designed or inherited from naval guns or chariot guns.
There is usually a mechanism and space for ammunition storage and delivery deep underground under the turret, and some large turret positions are designed to include a rest space for the operator.
The coastal defense artillery provided by the colonel is generally 108 mm in caliber and has a firing range of 30 km, and the artillery, together with the commander, gun sight, and observation instrument, constitutes a coastal artillery weapon system, which can determine the target elements, calculate the shooting elements, and fire at the target under day and night conditions.
The coastal defense artillery has the characteristics of quick combat operation, strong combat endurance, not easy to interfere, small shooting blind angle, high hit probability, and strong armor-piercing destructive power, and is an effective weapon in coastal defense operations.
"How much?" Zhou Lin wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with the sleeve of his hand.
"These thirty guns were originally intended to be configured for the *****, but the thought of the configuration for them was equivalent to the configuration for the Japanese. Therefore, the order of the upper peak was withdrawn and resold to you. The colonel said.
Zhou Lin knew that his intelligence had worked for the top level of the United States.
"You don't want money for them, do you?" Zhou Lin didn't want to spend money.
"Yes! Configuration is an indicator, or do you have to buy it with money. The colonel explained.
"You haven't said how much money yet." Zhou Lin handed the other party a cigarette.
"Thirty coastal defense guns with ten base shells, and we will be responsible for building turrets for you, installing them, and training artillery for you. A total of two hundred thousand dollars. The colonel said.
Zhou Lin looked at Smith: "Old Shi, did you say that I have money, so you want to find a way to get my money out?" ”
Smith flattened his mouth: "Who doesn't know the money that the general asked people to send you?" ”
When Zhou Lin heard this, he slumped in his chair: "I only have this money, and I have already spent half of it." Don't hit me, okay? ”
Smith looked at Zhou Lin proudly: "If you don't want it, we'll transport the cannon back." ”
This moment stuck Zhou Lin's neck, he had to do it.
After haggling, the price dropped to $150,000.
The two sides should be happy, Zhou Lin opened red wine to celebrate, and he has a lot of good wine at home.
Zhou Lin stopped drinking his hand: "Where is there a warship that can be used?" ”
Smith and the colonel glanced at each other, and Smith immediately said, "Find the colonel!" He's the big steward of the naval base. ”
The colonel immediately spoke: "I can help you with this matter!" ”
"How can I help?" Zhou Lin was immediately interested.
"We have some warships that are about to be retired in a few years, but in fact, they are no longer on combat duty, but in addition to the main engine, other parts can be used for more than ten years." said the colonel.
"Can't I buy it and scrap it in a few years?" Zhou Lin said.
"You don't understand! We can replace the main unit with a new one, and all the important parts have been replaced, so that it will be no problem to use it for fifteen years. The colonel said.
"I can buy it, but you can't change the host and key location, lie to me and say that you have changed." Listen on Monday, it's a good idea.
"I can't fool you! Anyone who has been on the ship for a few years will know. Besides, your relationship with the general, I dare to lie to you? Unless I'm going to be locked up for ten years. The colonel assured.
"Then I'll take a risk and believe you. How much? ”
