Chapter Ninety-Five: Landing at the Eight-Foot Gate
Updated: 20-0-0
In the early hours of November 8, a strong northeast wind whistled incessantly, and the moonlit sea was hazy and turbid. A fleet of ships sailed from the south into the sea off Keelung.
The Xuanwu landing craft was at the forefront. The Dinghai ship towed a barge, and the Dunant towed a barge-turned-piling ship, walking slowly in the middle. The Blue Dragon landing craft walked at the rear of the fleet.
Since arriving at Dunan Island, the Blue Dragon has been moored at the dock for storage and maintenance in order to save diesel. This time, in order to land in Taiwan, it was reactivated.
Wang Tiehammer sat in the cab of the Qinglong, he faintly saw a black island appear in front of him on the left, knowing that Sheliao Island was in front, he turned his head and asked, "Lu Huitian, there are still a few minutes before the turning point!" ”
Lu Huitian glanced at the marine radar, "Report to the captain, there are still minutes!" ”
"The next course is 20! Ready to deploy! ”
As he spoke, Wang Tiehammer grabbed the walkie-talkie and talked to Qian Shuiting on the Xuanwu in front of him, "Commander, Qinglong calls." ”
In order to meet the needs of battlefield command, the command set up a relay station on the Qinglong.
"Please!"
"The eight-foot gate beach is almost here, and the Blue Dragon is ready to turn around and start moving."
"Agree to act, I'll wait for you at the Keelung Bay Immortal Cave Anchorage!"
Soon, Lu Huitian showed on the radar that the Qinglong had reached the steering point set by the sea chart.
"Report to the captain, turn to the point!"
Wang Tiehammer turned his head and glanced at the radar, and gave an order, "Heading 20!" ”
"Heading 20!" Lu Huitian repeated the operation at the same time.
The Blue Dragon slowed down, turned its rudder to the left, and headed in the direction of the Eight Feet Gate Beach. The rest of the ships continued to move forward, heading straight for Keelung Bay.
Wang Tiehammer continued to give orders, "Battle alert!" ”
"Battle Alert!"
As the sirens sounded, the whole boat moved.
The eight-foot gate is a narrow strait between the island and the mainland, and because it is very narrow, it is called the eight-foot gate.
Bachimen Beach is only a few hundred meters away, and it is the preset landing ground of the Blue Dragon.
By the hazy moonlight, heading north from the beach, there was a large pile of strangely shaped rocks standing in the vicinity of the Eight Feet Gate; To the south is a cluster of rocks with dogs' teeth, and the waves crash against the black reef, stirring up a puff of white spray.
Lu Huitian was carefully driving the Qinglong, splitting the waves, and leaning towards the looming beach little by little.
The eight-foot gate of the cliff towering, the roaring waves constantly crashing against the shore rocks, making a surging loud noise, covering the roar of the engine of the landing craft "Tutu Tu Tu ~~".
The "Qinglong" landing craft swayed violently in the waves, slowly approaching Bachimen Beach, and finally washed up on the waterfront beach with a "sudden ~" along the turbulent waves.
The landing hatch opened with a bang, and Qiu Feng led a row of fighters who were shaken to a dazzled formation, forming a battle formation and staggering onto the beach.
Wang Tiehammer walked out of the cabin, step by step on the fine sand ashore, facing the dark mountains, he took a deep breath, so fresh air, this is Taiwan Island, I'm here!
Qiu Feng whispered to him that the beachhead had been fully controlled and everything was normal.
The moon was dim, and the two mountains were in front of them, so dark that it was impossible to tell which was the tree and which was the stone.
Wang Tiezhu knew that the south was Gongziliao Mountain, and the north was the east bank of Keelung Port, Xugang. Turning over Xugang is Dashawan in Keelung Harbor.
"Okay!" Wang Tiehammer watched, "It's almost three o'clock in the morning, let Xun Suji take someone to scout, you guys rest first and eat something." ”
"Let's go! Xun Su chicken has old arms and legs, don't slip and fall on the road. ”
Qiu Feng and Xun Su Ji fought side by side on Dongji Island and Mingxing Island for several months, Xun Su Ji likes to fool around, and shakes his so-called legend in Libya at every turn, Qiu Feng has no good impression of this fat Xun chef.
"You'd better eat something first." Xun Su Ji flashed out from behind, "It's almost a dizzy chicken, you should take a good rest." ”
Qiu Feng wanted to say something, but Wang Tiehammer stopped him, "Don't say it, reconnaissance is Xun Suji's job, and he has already studied the terrain here on the computer!" ”
As he spoke, he instructed Xun Suji, "Let's go, remember not to make a move, and keep in touch at all times." ”
"Don't worry, Captain!"
Xun Suji shook his head proudly and took Ni Ashui and Yin Jiro to the depths of the land.
Qiu Feng looked at their backs, and was very unhappy in his heart, "Captain, this scourge of Chef Xun is very unreasonable. ”
"Take your brethren and rest well!" Wang Tiehammer patted Qiu Feng's head gently, "It's all instructors, and they don't use their brains at all." Xun Suji likes to brag, but we have been getting along for more than half a year, and we don't know if he has a score or not! ”
Qiu Feng shook his head, asked Ma Jia to manage the troops, turned around and unloaded the military backpack, stretched out his hand to find out the dry food prepared by logistics, and took a bite, it was so fragrant!
"Uh, I just threw it all up, and I'm really hungry now!"
The beach is full of undulating mountains and rocks, and the sea rumbles against the reef, wave after wave.
The warriors sat on the stones on the shore, nibbling on dry food, drinking water, recovering from fatigue, while staring at the island in front of them with wide curious eyes.
The three of them slowly moved forward along the path between the two mountains.
Walking through the narrow eight-foot gate valley, the mountain road became wider, and with the help of the white moonlight, the three of them reached the valley in front of them, and there was a lot of hinterland.
Xun Suji, who was walking in front, immediately made a gesture for the three of them to separate on both sides of the road, and moved forward under the cover of the bushes.
After walking for a while, Xun Suji raised his hand vigilantly and made a gesture to stop advancing.
About a hundred meters in front is a pass. In the valley behind the pass, there are more than a dozen houses made of vertical wood and made of straw.
Grass, there is a fan club in the valley of the eight-foot gate, Xun Suji patted the back of his head in annoyance.
The drone had taken a few aerial photos of the valley, because it was taken in the evening, and the shaded part between the two mountains, which they thought was verdant, was actually a stilted house built by the Keda Gran mountain people with wood and leaves.
Xun Suji used infrared binoculars to reconnoitre, and there were two "biting dings" with long braids guarding the pass.
The various ethnic groups of the aborigines of Taiwan, and even the villages and communities, exist independently and do not belong to each other. The grassroots organizations of various ethnic groups have always been called "societies".
The settlements called "Zhuang" in Taiwan are generally inhabited by Han Chinese; "Society" is the gathering of people.
The Kaida Grand Nationality is the aboriginal of the Pingpu ethnic group in Taiwan, distributed in the areas of Tamsui, Taipei, Keelung and Taoyuan, with the Taipei Basin as the main body, and had a close relationship with the Kamalan people on the Lanyang Plain.
The Pingpu ethnic group is a common name for the first inhabitants of Taiwan who lived in flat land, and were mainly distributed in the coastal plains and hilly areas of western and northern Taiwan in the Qing Dynasty. They are the first ethnic group that the Han Chinese immigrated to Taiwan and were generally considered to be "familiar".
The so-called familiar fan is the Fan clan that has accepted the jurisdiction of the Han people and has a certain degree of sinicization. The counterpart to it is "Shengfan". "Shengfan" is an aboriginal who has not accepted sinicization and remains in a primitive state. In 54, the Kaida Gran were no longer much different from the Han Chinese.
From the age of twelve or thirteen, young men of the Keda Gran tribe began to serve as the "biting ding" of the Fan Society, and undertook corresponding obligations, in addition to being sent by the local officials of the Fan Society, hunting and protecting the safety of the village community.
Inside the sentry, an older biter dozed against the wall with a stick, and a young biter sat there bored with a bow and arrow.
Xun Suji immediately reported to Wang Tiehammer through the walkie-talkie.
A relay station had already been set up on the Qinglong landing craft, and the signal was transmitted to Wang Tiehammer at once.
Wang Tiehammer was taken aback, there is still a ripe fan in the eight-foot gate valley!
There are more than 10 houses, and there are about 30 or 40 people. During this time, Wang Tiezhu often rummaged through the historical materials in the Keelung area of Tamsui Water, and he suddenly realized that the village under the shade of the trees was probably the legendary Big Chicken Coop Society.
According to historical records, the Kaida Gran people in this part of Keelung Bay all belong to the Big Chicken Coop Society, and the population is only a few dozen at most.
"Can you pass quietly?" Wang Tiehammer said that this big chicken cage society should be used to encircle, and through them to make friends with other Pingpu Fan Society, it is best not to fight each other.
"It's enough, if you don't put the vigilant ones, you can only go over the mountains and mountains."
The mountains are steep and thorny, and it is difficult to find a decent road at night. Walking on mountain trails will inevitably delay time and increase the danger.
Wang Tiezhu immediately decided, "Let's do it, try not to alarm the people in the village." ”
Putting down the microphone in his hand, Wang Tiehammer asked Qiu Feng to immediately gather the troops and set off at the order.
"I wanted you to rest a little longer, but I can't do it."
"Don't worry, Captain. Use me in the first battle, I will win! ”
Maga whispered, rallying his troops.
Qiu Feng walked to the front of the team, and he asked the soldiers to sit down and rest for a while.
He said to the warriors, "Brethren, are you still dizzy? ”
The warriors laughed softly and said in a rambling voice, it was much better.
"Very good, we are the iron Xingming Army, the Xingming Army that can endure hardships and fight, and everyone is the pillars of the Ming Dynasty."
The warriors suddenly straightened up.
Qiu Feng continued: "The land under our feet was originally called ** cage, and now that we are here, he is Keelung, and the base is Longxing.
The base is prosperous, indicating that our Daming will go to glory from here. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and all of this will begin with your actions tonight. ”
A few words made the warriors' whole body steam.
Autumn Kaede is mobilizing at the seaside, and here in the valley, Injiro is eager to try.
Since being saved from the death line by the health team, Injiro has become a loyal warrior of the Ming Dynasty. Hearing the conversation between Xun Suji and Wang Tiehammer, he immediately straightened his chest.
"Your Excellency!" Injiro pulled out the saber behind him, "I'll go up first and kill them directly!" ”
Xun Suji's mouth was a little bitter, and he shook his head again and again, "No, no, this is the Kaida Gran people, if you can, it's better not to kill it." ”
To Injiro's incomprehensible look, Xun Suji didn't explain too much, "We are the imperial court, they are our future people, and if they can, they won't kill them." ”
Xun Suji is in charge of the coast guard work on Dunan Island, and he is more proficient in running in with Ni Ashui and others, and he is a little uneasy about Yin Jiro. He gestured hand and foot together, told Injiro his intentions to fight, and finally asked, "Do you understand?" ”
Injiro's head jerked slightly, "Hey! ”
The mountain breeze blew through the valley, and the leaves on both sides of the mountains danced in the wind.
Under the cover of the wind, the three of them quietly lay on the ground and slowly approached the pass by the side of the road. It was about thirty meters, and I don't know who accidentally bumped into a mountain rock.
I saw that the young mountain man stood up nervously, grabbed his bow and arrows and aimed at the mountain road, and shouted in Hokkien.
"Who's there?"
Although Injiro couldn't understand what the mountain people were saying, he knew that the target had been exposed. As soon as his head was hot, he wanted to get up and rushed over. said that it was too late, and before Injiro could fly up, Xun Suji's fat hand pressed him motionless.
One of the fat hands of Xun Soji pressed down on Injiro hard, and the other fat hand held the revolver and aimed at the checkpoint, and his head was full of beads of sweat. Yin Jiro didn't get up for a while, and when Ni Ashui was lying on the opposite side of the road, motionless, he calmed down.
The three of them were all on both sides of the mountain road, motionless, and the mountain wind blew over them with leaves and gravel.
The older ones got up and looked around for a long time, the mountain road was dark and there was nothing, the roar of the tide in the distance, and only the clattering of leaves all around. He sat down again, and complained about the young man's blind calling, and the young man was a little unconvinced, and quarreled with him.
Hey, these familiar fans have been sinicized to such an extent, and the bickering is also Hokkien.
Xun Suji felt something strange in his heart, and the leader continued to crawl forward, about twenty meters away, the people in the sentry post were still bickering, he waved his hand and threw it gently, and the pepper tear gas flew out.
With a "bump", the tear gas bomb gently collapsed, and the powdered OC stimulant suddenly permeated the entire pass.
The two people in the checkpoint suddenly "cough cough" breathing rapidly, and their faces were full of tears. They closed their eyes, clutched their throats with their hands, and rolled on the ground.
The three of them immediately got up from the ground, rushed into the pass, sealed their mouths, and tightly bound them with nylon straps.
Wang Tiehammer waited for a long time, and finally waited for Xun Suji's voice, "Over, the sentry has been subdued, everything is normal." ”
"Great!" Wang Tiehammer immediately ordered Xun Suji to stand by on the spot, not to act rashly, and wait to meet Qiu Feng.
Along the mountain road, Maga led the team forward at a low trot.
Wang Tiehammer held Qiu Feng's hand, "Be careful, the Qinglong will go to Keelung Bay to cooperate with you." ”
"Don't worry, Captain!" As he spoke, Qiu Feng saluted Wang Tiehammer and turned to chase after the team.
Wang Tie hammered their shadows completely into the mountains before returning to the landing craft.
Soon, the Blue Dragon reversed its propeller and retreated to the sea.
Lu Huitian commanded the Qinglong to drive at full speed, bypassing Sheliao Island and heading straight for Keelung Bay.
