On the second day of the departure of the First Army, the soldiers of the Second Army and the Marines also began to assemble and board ships at the pier of Fangchenggang. This attack on the South China Sea was carried out by the main force of the navy.

By the time we got to Hn Island, it was already dark. Qian Sihai stood on the side of the cruiser Guangxi in military uniform, watching dozens of ships on the sea in formation and advancing towards Hainan Island through the night, and felt a kind of pride in his heart, since he was organized into a marine, he has been tossing and turning more than 10,000 brothers in Fangchenggang, and the long-term exposure has made his skin dark, and there is no reason for the brigade commander to be so white under such a black background. Therefore, Qian Sihai led these two divisions to become the "black soldiers" in the people's army.

However, in the face of the ridicule of Wang Yunshan and Kong Wenhong, Qian Sihai didn't care about all kinds of comments on his appearance, but responded with eloquence: "If you are a soldier, you are not a good soldier if your skin is not dark." ”

Today, the Marine Corps is going to conduct its first real combat battle. Although the opponent is only a local warlord, for the People's Army, which will not be taken lightly by any armed force, underestimating the enemy is a precursor to defeat.

Thinking of this, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, and just as he was lighting it, a hand had been stretched out next to him, and the lighter in his hand was also lit, flickering in the sea breeze, and there was a feeling that it was going to be extinguished at any time. Qian Sihai hurriedly stretched his head over, took a sip, and then slowly raised his head.

At this time, Qian Sihai also saw the owner of that hand, which turned out to be Jiang Baili, the commander of the Second Army and the head of the operational staff. It is customary to salute a military salute. The latter waved his hand and said: "Now there is no superiority and superiority, just the relationship between teachers and students, the first time you lead troops to fight, are you nervous?" Hehe, it's false to say that you are not nervous, the Marines have just formed an army, and the first battle must be fought well, otherwise you would be ashamed to attach so much importance to the principal." Facing the vice principal when he was in the military academy before, Qian Sihai did not feel nervous, but was very excited." I am optimistic about you, and I am optimistic about your soldiers, and you are all the pride of the People's Army." Jiang Baili said very sincerely, although this student was born with mud legs, but he studied very hard, and his ability to accept some new things was also very strong, Jiang Baili tutored him a lot of courses at that time, and he was very impressed." Thank you, teacher, I and the soldiers under my command will not let you down" Qian Sihai's words were sonorous and powerful, which was also a sign of confidence.

"Commander Jiang, we have arrived at the reserved location. Whether to start a landing operation. Just as the two were talking, there was a question from Chen Shaokuan, the commander of the fleet, from behind Jiang Baili. Go to the podium." After Jiang Baili finished speaking, he walked towards the ship tower.

After Qian Sihai threw away the cigarette butts, he entered the command platform of the Guangxi with Jiang Baili and Chen Shaokuan.

After the group arrived at the command platform, Jiang Baili looked at Qian Sihai, who nodded and said into the microphone.

"Let's get started, tell me a word, and let the brothers play nicely."

"Okay."

After receiving the order to start the landing battle, more than 30 landing craft approached the troop carriers attached to the group, and after the landing craft approached, the troop carriers lowered their net ropes on both sides, and the soldiers skillfully and quickly turned to board the landing craft like monkeys. The landing craft loaded with soldiers began to move towards the beach.

The bows of several merchant converted landing ships also slowly opened, and one after another landing craft drove out of them.

"Everybody's listening. This landing operation was the first actual combat of our Marine Corps. Although the enemy forces were weak, and there were not many troops to garrison the place where we landed. However, the choice of this place is to test our combat capability in actual combat, and we must not let the army look down on it. Do you understand? "On the landing craft. The platoon commander is doing the pre-war mobilization of the pioneer platoon.

"Understood!!"

"One minute to prepare." The pilot looked at the approaching beach and made a teaser to the fighters on the landing craft.

When the landing craft rested on the beach, the front sheet of the landing craft was lowered, and the fighters quickly rushed out of the landing craft and rushed towards the predetermined beach positions.

"Jumping platform, this is the springboard, the first beachhead to be taken, no enemy troops were encountered." On the beachhead, the commander of the pioneer battalion was communicating with the command headquarters on the sea through a knapsack walkie-talkie.

"Springboard, springboard received, please continue to penetrate deeper to expand the safe area." The latest orders from command came from the intercom earpiece.

"Springboard received, springboard received. Brothers, keep going. The commander of the pioneer battalion gestured forward, and the soldiers who had been waiting for a long time jumped up like tigers and rushed towards the deep area.

A short but rapid burst of gunfire signaled that the spearhead squad had come into contact with the enemy's troops.

"Platoon commander, we rushed to this village in front of us when we suddenly found that there were enemy troops going out, and they also found us, and we fought each other for a while at the entrance of the village, and now the enemy troops have retreated back into the village." The squad leader of the top squad reported to the company commander who had caught up.

"How many are there?"

"It is estimated that at least one company, if we were not equipped with semi-automatic firepower, we would have really rushed them in with that attack of the Central Army just now."

"Do we have any casualties?"

"No, the brethren are clever. And the marksmanship of the enemy on the opposite side is very poor. A lot of soldiers are just shooting indiscriminately to embolden themselves. These troops are purely civilians who have not yet completed their recruit training, and they do not even dare to lean out and shoot. The squad leader explained the current situation and looked at the enemy troops huddled in the village with disdain.

While the two were talking, a loud shout erupted from the village, and groups of enemy soldiers, led by a senior officer, rushed out.

", the enemy is finally willing to come out." The platoon commander was a little surprised.

"Platoon commander, there is not a company in the village. It's a battalion! The squad leader of the sharp knife squad looked at the dense trailing troops behind.

"Communicator, call the troops behind to hurry up and come up with reinforcements, as well as the 60mm mortars of the fire platoon. Come up, brothers, come up and give us this great gift, don't save ammunition, hit hard! Beat these guys to death. ＂

It's a bit difficult for a platoon to hold off a battalion of troops. But fortunately, the fighters are equipped with semi-automatic rifles, and the constant and accurate firepower makes the enemy's attacks extremely difficult.

Lying on the ground dodging bullets, the enemy soldiers of this battalion were stunned and suppressed by a platoon of men opposite. The attack just now has proved the ferocity of the soldiers on the opposite side with the loss of nearly 100 people, not to mention the marksmanship to hit the ground thief, but also with continuous fire, this accurate marksmanship and this kind of rifle that can shoot continuously let everyone understand that the opposite force is not ordinary.

"Dog, dog." An enemy soldier lay on the ground and shouted to his comrades.

"What's the matter? Mouse, head down. Be careful not to let the bullets bite. The dog responded by calling out to his mouse.

"I said, where are the troops? Why is it so powerful. ”

"I don't know."

"Otherwise. Shout twice to see if they're mistaken. ”

"That's fine. You have a loud voice, you come and shout. ”

"Move me a seat."

I saw the dog crawl forward two meters and came to the back of a small dirt bag. Lying on the ground, he twisted his head and shouted to the other side:

"Are the brothers on the other side Chinese?"

shouted a few times, and the already sporadic gunfire on the opposite side also stopped, and soon a voice came along the sea breeze.

"We are the Chinese People's Army, and we have been ordered to attack here, and if we encounter resistance, we will all be annihilated on the spot. The people on the other side listened, laid down their arms and surrendered, and we promised to treat the prisoners preferentially. ”

Look at it, annihilation on the spot, what tone, but people just have such confidence, they don't care about your attitude at all, as long as you dare to resist, annihilate on the spot.

"Battalion commander, where is the battalion commander?" Ermao wanted to find the battalion commander.

"Look for a fart, after the battalion commander just took us out, half of his head was cut off."

"What about the company commander? Now it's not going in or out, it's not going to be hairy!! Someone has to come out and take command. If we continue to do this, we will all die under the guns of those people on the other side. It was another veteran who spoke, he had seen it just now, and several people were killed by the accurate marksmanship on the opposite side when they were halfway up, and now he was hiding behind a corpse, leaning on the ground as much as possible, just afraid of being hit by the accurate marksmanship on the other side.

"The ghost knows where the company commander is, the soldiers on the other side are accurate in their marksmanship, and they are specifically looking for officers to fight, I estimate that the first wave of company commanders will be hanged."

"Run, I heard that the soldiers on the opposite side not only shot accurately, but also hit this one badly, where did this group of living Hades come from."

"Run? Where to run, you look behind. "When you look back, they have left the village a long way ago, and if you want to run back to the village, you need to run back to this empty distance again, which also means that they will be under the guns of the other party for a long time, and no one can guarantee that the soldiers on the opposite side will not shoot them in the back at this time, so no one wants to eat.

"Listen to the enemy troops on the other side, give you three minutes, and as soon as the three minutes are over, we will open fire!!" The ultimatum came again from the opposite side.

"Brothers, look for it, if there is anyone who is an official, if there is no official to supervise the formation, hurry up and prepare things to fall, I don't want to be beaten by cannons." A veteran suggested a suggestion, which was quickly echoed by the soldiers around him, and soon a white flag was raised.

"Leave the prisoners to the troops behind, and we move on." The platoon commander smiled happily when he saw the white flag on the opposite side.

The forward battalion advanced quickly, and in a short time came to a town, only now an improvised trench had been built outside the town. This is the troops that Chen Jitang is preparing to assemble with Chen Jiongming, and the assembly point happens to be the place where the People's Army attacks. However, it was Chen Shao's intention to attack here, and there were not many troops on Hn Island, but relying on the shelter of the Qiongzhou Strait, it was always safe from the attack of other warlords. Moreover, Chen Jitang also has a navy, which is just a few wooden civilian ships, not even an ironclad ship, which is far from enough for the South China Sea Fleet.
