In the vast sea at night, ten LST1 amphibious tank landing ships of our army braved the wind and waves, they set off from Batou Town, crossed the strait between Nanao Island and the mainland, and went straight to Xipu Bay of Butterfly Island. After more than two months of training at sea, these more than 8,000 PLA commanders and fighters have overcome seasickness, fear of water, and other difficulties, and have fully adapted themselves to the turbulence at sea and amphibious operations on land and sea.

The bullet is loaded, the knife is unsheathed, the hatred and anger are burning in the chest, and the murderous bandit with the muzzle of the gun is sworn to defend the sea frontier and treasure island of the motherland

With this majestic song and starlight, they landed on the beautiful Butterfly Island more than 4 hours ahead of the enemy. Entered the position.

The Kuomintang's 'Operation Thunder' plan should be said to have been carefully and thoroughly prepared. On 10 June, the Kuomintang troops that invaded Butterfly Island set off from Liuluo and Shuitou in Kinmen on 4 warships, 6 LST landing craft, 5 gunboats, and some auxiliary vessels to the open sea, and all ships kept radio silence. At about 5 o'clock on 11 November, the fleet approached the sea surface of Butterfly Island, and the first wave of landing troops sailed silently into Wujiao Bay east of Butterfly Island and the coast of Xiaocrescent Bay north of Jixinyu Island with six landing ships. With Hu Lian's order, 30 amphibious tanks were driven from the landing craft and landed on the beach of Butterfly Island from three landing sites in the east. After 40 minutes, the first wave of the 118th Division and the tank regiment completed the task of grabbing the beach and began to build a beachhead. At 9 o'clock in the morning, all the Kuomintang troops landing on the island successfully completed the landing. The first wave of 8,000 Kuomintang soldiers who landed, followed by 30 tanks, began to advance towards the island in three directions. The north road attacked Kangmei Town, the middle road attacked Zhangtang Town, and the west road attacked the county seat of Butterfly County.

They didn't advance as smoothly as they did when they landed. Constantly encountered some, squad, platoon, resistance of different intensities. The resistance encountered in Zhangtang Town was relatively fierce, and the 31st Battalion, 1st Company, 3rd Platoon, 272nd Regiment of the 31st Army, relying on the small heights around the town, fought the invading enemy with wit and flexibility. They used a squad of troops to bring in the enemy, they preset the position in front of the more than 200 enemies, under the cover of three tanks, launched an attack on the town.1 Company 3 platoon Wang Zhi and platoon commander ordered, the whole platoon first let go of the enemy tanks in front, when he saw the tanks roaring past, the infantry attack group following behind had entered the minefield, he himself rang the sound, set on both sides of the enemy's offensive line, four new directional mines that were sent down by the superior before the war. In an instant, thousands of steel balls swept towards the infantry attack group following the tank, and more than 100 enemies were blown down in a pool of blood by the steel balls that came from all directions. They then launched a short assault with the entire platoon on the remaining panicked enemy. More than 30 more enemies were eliminated, and the demolition team also took the opportunity to blow up two enemy tanks. After that, they quickly cleaned up the battlefield, resisted the spoils of war, and withdrew to the main position. After returning to the position, Wang Zhi and the platoon commander immediately ran to the company headquarters and took away all the three remaining directional mines in the company. I told the company commander before leaving.' This mine is better than ten machine guns. It's so enjoyable to use. Just now, four mines knocked down more than 100 enemies at once, and blew them all up.'' Ah, more than 100 enemies,' the company commander cried out in surprise, and said in disbelief: "Wang Zhihe, you're not bragging. How powerful can four mines be?'' If you don't believe it, look at it,' the 3rd platoon commander said undoubtedly: 'The side of Zhangtang Town is full of the corpses of Jiang bandits.' The company commander listened to the detailed explanation of the situation by the 3rd platoon commander. Immediately run to the height of the main position and take a look at the binoculars, isn't it. So without saying a word, he hurried to the camp to get this powerful directional mine.

Each company of the 272nd Regiment 3rd Battalion and 3rd Company sent out a sniper squad in the company. Under the leadership of the deputy company commander Geng Sanpao, in the small hill and woods on the south side of Kangmei Town, the sniper position of pre-firing before the battle was used to continuously consume the enemy. This Geng Sanpao had participated in four months of special forces training in Tianhu Mountain in Minnan. Due to the needs of work, he was seconded from the special forces back to the company, and immediately after returning, he discussed with the company commander, and organized more than a dozen soldiers in the company who were good at marksmanship and were excited to establish a sniper squad. This time I was able to show my skills. In a period of more than an hour, these dozen or so men beat the more than 1,000 enemies who attacked Kangmei Town, did not dare to move, and after killing more than 10 enemy officers and more than 100 enemies, they took the initiative to withdraw to the core position on the island. Before leaving, he still set up some trickery mines on the original position, and more than 20 enemies were injured and wounded.

Haha, the battalion commander smiled and patted Geng Sanpao on the shoulder and said, "Sanpao, it's really yours, those four months of hardship have not been in vain, come back, I'll give you a company, how about letting you set up a special operations company?'.

'Battalion commander, you just give me your position, and I won't come back. Geng Sanpao proudly said: "What kind of place is that special operations brigade, haha. That's the land of the Hidden Dragon and the Crouching Tiger.' Through this battle, each company also followed suit and established its own sniper squad.

The two battalions of the 31st Regiment of the 274th Army fought piecemeal in this way, destroying more than a thousand enemies who had landed.

Three hours after landing, the enemy had captured most of Butterfly Island, although it had suffered more than 1,000 casualties.

Hu Lian came to the newly occupied Butterfly County Political Axe. He saw the empty county magistrate's office and felt that something was wrong, his actions were top secret. Even the captain of a fleet didn't know where to go before he set off. It's impossible for the communist army to find out? How did this get so clean? It seems that the communist army is indeed prepared. It's better to finish the work early and leave early.

These Kuomintang soldiers who landed on the island went door to door and searched from house to house after landing on the island. I want to come out to make some extra money, get some food, clothing, money, and find a woman to vent. But I searched all the houses in the occupied area, but I didn't even look at a single figure, and I didn't find anything of value.

These Kuomintang soldiers can only live a monotonous and boring life in Kinmen, although there are female instructors in the 'military paradise', but they only guide the officials, and the soldiers only have the share of watching with their eyes. It's okay not to look at it, but it's like adding fuel to the fire, and it's uncomfortable, I wanted to go to Butterfly Island this time to improve my life and solve my hunger, but I didn't even find a sow and a female dog on this island.

'Hang his old mother x, the chiefs lied to us and said that they were free to move around on the island for three days. This fucking activity didn't work for eight days...... 'These disappointed Kuomintang soldiers were so angry that they scolded.

Gao Zhanyuan, commander of the 19th Army, hurriedly walked into the office of the county magistrate of Butterfly County, which was the temporary headquarters of the landing force, and said to Hu Lian: "Commander, I feel that something is wrong, why is there not even a single ordinary person on this island, is it that the communist military discovered our plan of action first. What kind of trap have you set?' Although Hu Lian himself also felt very confused. But he has led the army for many years, and he knows that he will be the courage of the army. At this time, I can't show any wavering. He took out the silver cigarette case, inserted a cigarette from it, easily put a pomp on the cigarette box, then lit the cigarette with a lighter, took a deep breath, and said: "Even if this is a trap set by the communist army, what can I do. At best, there were no more than 1,800 communist troops on the island. Even if his large army came to reinforce him, it would take a few days at the earliest. When the time comes, we will fight if we can, and if we can't, we have a navy and air force, don't we just say let's go. Afraid of what?'' I'm afraid that the communist army will lure the enemy deeper,' Gao Zhanyuan still said worriedly.

"Lure a fart, just such a big place, where is he going.' Hu Lian rudely interrupted Gao Zhanyuan's question, and ordered impatiently: You immediately organize the 201st Regiment of the 25th Division to attack Gangxi Village, and the 118th Division will leave one regiment as a reserve, and the rest will attack the first line of Xiahu Village and Kengbei Village respectively. After the attack was successful, I ordered the paratroopers to parachute in the core areas of the three highlands to cooperate with your operation. Give the communist army a center to blossom, and let [***] see what modern warfare is. Take the three commanding heights of 201, 425, and 410. This butterfly island is under our control.' He lifted his left wrist and looked at his watch. An hour and a half later, the paratroopers begin to parachute, you go and prepare. I'll give you three hours to take all three of these heights. Then I took a few pictures of our army's victorious occupation of Butterfly Island on the island, and I talked to the reporters accompanying the army about the process and great significance of the occupation of the island. Tomorrow morning there will be a celebration party, a general meal at noon, in the afternoon we will prepare, collect some loot, and in the evening we will leave.' Gao Zhan asked a little puzzled: "Commander Hu, we have spent so much effort and paid so many officers and soldiers to take this Butterfly Island, is it just to take a few photos. ''You're still finished,'' Before Gao Zhanyuan finished speaking, Hu Lian's eyes widened and he waved his hand, and said in a rough voice: "This is politics, politics!" Do you understand!'' Fuck you,' Gao Zhan turned to leave, scolding in his heart: 'What the fuck are you pretending to be a politician with me.' After Hu Lian saw Gao Zhan go out, he called the confidential secretary. Immediately send a telegram to the Kinmen paratrooper troops, and order them to parachute down on the 201st Heights, 425th Heights, and 410th Heights in an hour and a half, cooperate with the frontal attack, and take Butterfly Island in one fell swoop.'' It's 'The confidential secretary, repeated the side record, Hu Lian made sure that it was correct, saluted Hu Lian, turned around and walked away without waiting to walk out of the door, and was called back by Hu Lian.

'Take another telegram to the old man.' The confidential secretary immediately opened the confidential folder again. Prepare the record. Hu Lian paced the ground with his hands behind his back and said: "Our army successfully landed on Butterfly Island at about 5 o'clock in the morning of the 11th of the year, and now occupies the county town of Butterfly and most of the island. The officers and men of our army fought bravely, completely destroyed the beachhead of the communist army, eliminated more than 3,800 communist bandits, and a small number of communist bandits have fled into the mountains and are being pursued by our army.
