Han Shaofeng did not contact the submarine, to be precise, Tan Renhao did not allow him to contact the submarine. The submarine ground radio stations are all long-wave radio stations, and the fleet must first contact the rear ground base before it can contact the submarine. And this is bound to expose the whereabouts of the fleet, so Han Shaofeng was unable to help Yang Chengfu find a few submarines that could send them to the offshore sea, so he could only arrange a few large landing craft for them.

"Hurry up, don't grind!" Yang Chengfu wears the uniform of a U.S. Army major. Next to him, there were three columns, and the Marines, also dressed in American uniforms, were descending the rope ladder to the landing craft.

"Major, all the brothers are down!"

Yang Chengfu glanced around, and it was very dark. All right. It's time for us to go, too! ”

He was the last to leave the landing ship, and the landing craft left the landing ship and headed out into the darkness. The fleet was about 800 miles from the Panama Canal, the actual route was about 950 miles, and the landing craft had a ground speed of only 18. After about 53 hours, the landing craft were able to reach the vicinity of the canal, and they had to go ashore in smaller assault boats.

"Major, would you like to have some?"

Yang Chengfu shook his head, he didn't have the slightest interest in the Marine Corps' dry food, unless there was really no other land to eat, he would eat dry food. The landing craft has an extremely narrow space on the ground. In previous landing operations, this type of landing craft generally carried a platoon of soldiers. And now Yang Chengfu has 55 of them. It's almost two platoons. Although the ground machine guns and small-caliber machine guns on the landing craft have been removed, and even the bulky bulletproof steel plates have been removed, in order to improve the range, more than a dozen huge oil drums are still stacked in the narrow body of the landing craft. This further contributes to the cramped space in the boat, with the No. 55 almost stacked on top of each other.

The most unbearable thing is the bumps, the landing craft are flat-bottomed boats. It is designed to reduce the depth of the tap. Able to wash up on the beach and be able to rewind back. As a result, the seaworthiness of the landing craft was extremely bad, and during the landing fleet expedition, the landing craft were stored in the landing ship dock. Although the sea surface is calm at this time, the wave height is less than half a meter. Basically, it can be said that there is no wind and no waves, but the landing craft sailing at a speed of 12 knots is still bumpy.

The thought of having to wait for two days and two nights in this situation made Yang Chengfu a little headache. He sat down next to a member of the team who was vomiting profusely and slapped the team member twice on the back. After this toss, when the troops go ashore, I'm afraid most of them won't even be able to stand up.

"Thank you, Major." The team member breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Chengfu handed the kettle over. Bear with it. We'll be there soon."

The young Marines smiled and nodded. He looked pained, and his stomach felt very uncomfortable. Yang Chengfu knew this very well, and he had only just entered the Marine Corps. He vomited several times on the landing craft, but after half a year, he got used to it. Sometimes I don't even feel comfortable going back to land.

It was soon getting dark, and some of the team members put their steel helmets over their faces. People slept on the deck one after another. There are also some who are inspecting the newly received US military firearms, which were supposed to be replaced by a batch of newly purchased weapons by the Marine Corps, but now they have to use US military ground weapons. There are also earthlings grinding ground daggers that are not used very often. Every Marine has a dagger that may be able to save someone's life on the battlefield. More people are looking around boredly.

Yang Chengfu didn't sleep all night, and he didn't feel like he wanted to sleep now. After turning around on the narrow landing craft, Yang Chengfu came to the back of the bridge. Unlike other ships, the landing craft bridge is simple. The control direction is something similar to the steering wheel of a car, with two main engine throttle levers next to the steering wheel, and a few instrument clusters, and nothing else. As long as you can drive a car, you can drive a landing craft.

"Good morning, Major." The landing craft is driven by a marine, not a fleet officer, and when it reaches its destination, the landing craft will sink itself in deep water, and no one will want to drive it back to the fleet.

Yang Chengfu smiled and nodded. He had to keep himself happy. In this way, you will be able to forget about fatigue.

"Good weather. It looks like there won't be any wind today." The Marines were probably bored too, "That's good news for us, isn't it?" ”

"Pretty much. I just hope I don't get hit by a U.S. reconnaissance plane." Yang Chengfu glanced at his watch, "Ten minutes later, let people pull up the sails."

Soon, a huge sail was raised. This canvas is not earthy yellow, but grayish-blue, and it is not a color, so that when viewed from the air, it looks like waves on the sea, which can have a certain camouflage effect. Yang Chengfu also returned to the cabin, found a deck to lie down, he decided to sleep well, he must maintain enough energy to be able to fight immediately after reaching the destination.

The boring voyage continued until the evening of the third day, and on the way, a number of US planes flew near the landing craft, but they were not able to find that the small # military pilot with a length of less than 20 meters on the surface did not look at the sea at all, or that it was not a warship, nor a submarine, so it did not attract much attention. When the sky is getting dark again and the temperature is starting to drop. Yang Chengfu organized other team members.

"The battlefield is ahead, I won't say anything else. After going ashore, everyone is to immediately go into combat mode." Yang Chengfu stood next to the bridge, "We have spent more than 50 hours, and we are one step closer to victory. Now, take the squad as a unit and check your weaponry! ”

There was a sound of pulling the bolt of the gun, and then the leaders of the temporary arrangements reported the situation.

"Let the assault boat be inflated. Ten minutes later we departed! ”

The inflatable assault boat was towed out and connected to the high-pressure gas tank. The high-pressure air was immediately filled in. Each assault boat can carry 11 team members, five assault boats, and 55 people. The landing craft soon stopped. The engine was turned off, the front ramp was lowered, the assault boat was pushed out, and the commandos waded out of the landing craft. Got on the assault boat. Yang Chengfu and another captain officer left at the end, and they had to do one more thing, which was to open the landing craft to the sea and sink it to the bottom of the sea to avoid being discovered by the enemy.

There was only less than ten minutes from the departure to the final disappearance of the landing craft, and Yang Chengfu watched the whirlpool on the sea gradually disperse. Eventually, the sea returned to calm. There was no power equipment on the assault boat, only four handles of wood pulp. The sea is quiet. Only the sound of the ground when the pulp is swiped, and the land is in front of it. Night. Land is not actually black land. Rather, it is dark gray. Yang Chengfu's eyes have adapted to the night, and he can see the situation on the land. There was a forest behind the beach, there were no lights nearby, and he didn't hear the sound of the ground coming from the direction of land. There is nothing wrong with the landing site, this is a deserted beach, and there will not even be fishermen passing by, let alone American troops coming here.

"Be quiet!" Sitting in front of Yang Chengfu, the captain officer on the ground shouted in a low voice to the soldiers who were paddling on the ground.

Yang Chengfu patted the shoulder of the captain officer who was a little nervous. There's no need to be nervous. If there is an enemy on the shore. Now that the bullets have flown over, they don't even have a chance to fight back.

Twenty minutes later, the first assault boat came to the beach, and the team members quickly jumped into the sea on both sides. Then quickly spread out. Several members of the field team on the reconnaissance mission immediately ran towards the woods, and the other team members all crawled on the . Or crouch on the beach, vigilantly watching your surroundings. Then, a second assault boat followed. Then came the third, the fourth, and Yang Chengfu was the last to go ashore in an assault boat.

"Clean up the traces immediately!" Yang Chengfu gave the order, "Move quickly, two squads go to the flank to cover, and the third squad goes to the woods, no action can be taken without my order!" ”

The team quickly dispersed, and the remaining team members let go of the air in the assault boat while digging several large holes in the beach. The folded assault boat was buried in it, and then the beach was filled in. Finally stepped on it a few times. Sweeping away all traces very quickly, the team quickly left the beach and entered the woods.

"There's the road ahead." A member of the team in charge of the reconnaissance site ran back, "It's about 200 meters, it's the same as the place marked on the map, the three-way intersection is in the northwest, the distance is about 500 meters, and the location of our landing place is exactly right."

At this time. The three squad leaders from the other places also rushed over. These squad leaders are all captains and officers. He is the best soldier under Yang Chengfu.

"Right on time." Yang Chengfu stretched out his left arm, "It's 1:34 in the morning."

Several others set their watches to this time.

"There are about five hours to go, and we have to find the vehicle before then, and according to the plan, we will go north first, and there is a U.S. military ground patrol nearby. Let the brothers be careful! ”

Soon, Yang Chengfu came to the jungle near the road. The rest of the teams have taken cover in the vicinity. The woods help a lot, Panama is located in the tropics, the rainfall is abundant all year round, the forest makes up for it, the roads basically pass through the forest, and the forest provides the best protection for the poplars.

Yang Chengfu quickly determined the location with a compass, and he also glanced at the starry sky above his head and identified several constellations. He's got the map in his head. The troops reached the planned landing site accurately, and the road split in a northwesterly direction, one to Panama City and the other to Lake Aiden.

"Major, a convoy is coming, are we going to do it?"

"Let's see, don't worry, no one can fire without my order!" Yang Chengfu first heard the noise of the car, and then saw the ground light in the distance. It's all hidden, it's all hidden for me! ”

The team quickly took cover, and a large convoy passed by the road, which looked like a convoy of supplies, with a dozen trucks and several heavily armored vehicles. As the convoy passed by, Yang Chengfu heard several American soldiers chatting, and his voice was very indistinct. He didn't hear what the U.S. troops were talking about, but he could feel that the U.S. military was very vigilant and didn't realize that the danger was approaching.

"Major. The convoy is coming."

Yang Chengfu shook his head at the captain next to him, signaling not to act rashly. He needed vehicles, but he didn't want to engage the enemy head-on, which would reveal their location, and he didn't want casualties at this time.

The convoy quickly drove past, and it was not until the forward scout gave a safety signal that the team members climbed out of the shelter. Yang Chengfu returned to the observation point next to the highway.

"Major, why don't you attack in the first place?"

Yang Chengfu turned his head. If I say attack, I attack, I say hidden, I want me to be here, understand? ”

The captain nodded and said no more.

"Team 1 is in front, keep a distance, and try not to encounter the American army." Yang Chengfu gave the Xindi order, "We are going along this road to the north, and there is a US military ground camp ten kilometers to the north, and we must bypass the camp. As long as we get through here, we're basically in no danger."

"But we need a vehicle."

"I know this, let's go now!" Yang Chengfu didn't explain much, he put away the waterproof map wrapped in plastic, "The other teams are scattered forward, don't lean together!" ”

The troops have been navigating through the forests near the road, and while this is a bit of a hassle, it doesn't leave much of a mark. All the team members are unusually cautious, trying not to break the branches of nearby trees, and trying to slow down their steps and not make a sound. Yang Chengfu walked ahead this time. From time to time, he would stop to make sure he was in the right direction, and he could also take the opportunity to determine if there was any danger around him. Advancing in the forest at night, the most useful thing is the ears, not the eyes, and danger always comes with the sound.

In fact, at this time, Yang Chengfu had no bottom in his heart. The operation was so rushed that there was not even a complete tactical plan before departure. In addition, they know very little about the enemy's land, and the information they get is provided by spies, and some of them have been there for several years. What made Yang Chengfu even more headache is. He had to find the vehicle as soon as possible so that he could reach his destination before the next dark and capture the locks. Where can I find a vehicle?
