Chapter 558: Jeju Island

Hyangwa Naval Base on Jeju Island, North Korea

Jeju Island is the largest island in North Korea, and it is also a typical volcanic island, with an area of 1,825 square kilometers.

Therefore, after exchanging the equipment of five infantry divisions for the right to use Jeju Island for 100 years, the Huaxia government immediately began the construction process of Jeju Island, for which Su Tong specially allocated 20 million gold yuan coupons as funds for the construction of Jeju Island, and after four months of intense construction by the engineering troops, the wharf and some infrastructure facilities on Jeju Island were ready to be put into use, and some warships of the East China Sea Fleet began to prepare for stationing.

Naturally, the Japanese base camp was furious at the Huaxia Navy's construction of a naval base less than 800 kilometers away from its own homeland, and some naval commanders began to clamore for razing Jeju Island to the ground with the huge cannons of the battleship "Yamato," which had just been launched.

But these radical generals were given a good lecture by Emperor Hirohito at the Imperial Council, and Hirohito's exact words were as follows: "Ladies and gentlemen, at this time of imperial hardship, we must carry forward the tradition of imperial perseverance and endure what ordinary people cannot endure." The Empire's plan to advance southward is almost complete, and the Empire will be ready to go south to seize the resources of the South Seas, solve the problems of the Americans in one fell swoop, and seize control of the Pacific.

The Japanese generals, who had been the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for almost two years, showed a stoic look on their faces, and bowed to Hirohito in unison, holding back this breath again.

Although the high-ranking generals of the Japanese army held back this breath, the junior officers below did not think as much as those senior officers, and they were gearing up to teach a lesson to the Chinese who dared to put their hands into the territory of the Japanese Empire.

The sky was overcast, and on a runway at Japan's Fukuoka Air Base, Captain Takenan Koyuki, the third squad leader of the Second Flight Group of the First Division of the Japanese Army Air Corps, looked at the seven pilots in front of him, and said with a spit: "Gentlemen, it is a great shame that our Great Japanese Empire was beaten back to the Japanese mainland by the Shina people from the Shina mainland, but now the Shina people have to build a naval base on Jeju Island inch by inch. If the Chinese establish a base on Jeju Island, our Japanese mainland will be completely exposed to the range of the Chinese planes, and this is something we will never allow. But those fools in the military department only know how to blindly forbear, completely ignoring the danger that the mainland has leaked into the flight range of the Chinese people's plane, and blindly shrink their heads and become ostriches, which we as Japanese samurai will never allow, so I decided to give those hateful Chinese people a little color, and we will bomb Jeju Island."

The pilots, who had long been incited by Captain Takenan Xingyuki, raised their arms and shouted loudly.

"Bombing Jeju Island"

"Bombing Jeju Island"

"Very good we go"

With a wave of his hand, Xingyuki Takenan took the pilots to board eight Zero fighters that he had had the ground crew refuel for ammunition and fuel in the name of the exercise yesterday.

Soon, eight planes painted with brightly colored ointment flags took to the sky and flew westward.

On the busy construction dock of Jeju Island, there are many North Korean residents on the island who are helping. As many as 200,000 indigenous residents on Jeju Island provided a steady stream of labor for the construction force, including many North Korean women.

Well, don't be surprised, Jeju Island has always had a tradition of "three more and three nothing", they are: more stones, more wind, and more women; There are no beggars, no thieves, and no gates, which aptly reflects the unique natural and cultural landscape of Jeju and the relatively simple people of North Koreans on Jeju Island.

Zhang Shi lazily leaned on a large sea rock by the sea, with his guy Garand rifle beside him, and looked at the dense North Korean laborers on the dock working hard and couldn't help but sigh: "These Korean sticks are really diligent, we can make them work hard three times more than our workers at a price of only one-third of the domestic workers, and it would be strange if those domestic trade unions didn't come to the door to sue us sooner." Wood, do you think we should suggest to the top of the hierarchy that these North Koreans get a salary increase? After all, people work so hard for us, and we don't want to give people a salary increase. ”

"Come on," Qin Mu on the side scoffed at Zhang Shi's words, "Those guys up there may not know what kind of happiness they will be." If you were to suggest that, I would estimate that the top 80% would give the North Koreans a salary increase, but those salaries would have to be deducted from your military salary. ”

"Well, then forget it" Looking at the clear sky, Zhang Shi stretched lazily before saying: "Our garrison is the life of watching the sun during the day and the stars at night, especially those of us who don't love the army and the navy, and our lives are even more bitter." The Marines are the Navy that fights on land, but we are the Army that helps the Navy guard the door, look at the wood, the people in the Marine Brigade have already changed to five or six semi-automatics, and we are still holding Garand rifles, what do you say this is the name of the ** thing?"

"You can be content," Qin Mu rolled his eyes, "It's good that the top didn't send us three or eight big covers, at least we still have Korean women in this large base, I heard that there are only a dozen people on those small islands in the South China Sea, and the quilts in the barracks are so damp that they can squeeze out the water, and that's the real night counting stars." We have a lot of North Korean girls here, and if you're lucky, you can hook up with one and take it home to your mother before retiring, isn't that better than anything else? Aren't there already a lot of brothers who have done this? ”

What Qin Mu said was indeed the truth, with the encouragement and connivance of the government and the military's top brass, intentionally or unintentionally, many soldiers stationed at the North Korean base married North Korean women near the station. These hard-working and simple Korean women were also favored by the soldiers. As a result, "serving as a soldier for three years, marrying a North Korean woman and going home by the way" has also become a popular trend among the officers and soldiers stationed in the DPRK. Although the Kim Sung-ju government has also discovered this problem, there is no good way to stop it, after all, the economy of North Korea is too backward compared to the current Chinese mainland, and the pursuit of a better life is human nature after all.

Zhang Shi opened his mouth, his heart was said by his friend, and he was a little embarrassed. He stood up and patted the dirt on his buttocks, and was about to call his friends to go up to the guard post with him. Suddenly, he noticed that several small black dots appeared in the eastern sky, flying quickly towards him.

"Not good" Zhang Shi's face changed, the east is the territory of the Japanese, and it will definitely not be our own plane flying from that side.

"Wood, hurry up, there is an enemy situation" Zhang Shi grabbed his gun and ran towards the sentry post not far away, shouting as he ran: "Quickly pull the alarm, air raid, air raid"

When Zhang Shi ran to the sentry post, a sharp siren was already heard in the distance. By the time the sirens sounded, several planes were already approaching the port dock on Jeju Island, a flash of fire under the wings of the planes, and a string of bullets strafed on the pier in a roar

Only then did the anti-aircraft weapons on the dock rush out.

"Jeju Island was hit by Japanese planes, and 13 soldiers and civilians on the island were killed and 62 injured, and the Japanese government has not yet responded to this incident."

"Japan's air raid on Jeju Island is the first time that the Japanese army has taken the initiative to attack a military base in China since it withdrew to the mainland."

The bombing incident was immediately reported in major newspapers in the country.

"Bastard, why hasn't radar been installed on the island, who is responsible for the construction of Jeju Island, I'm going to shoot him" After receiving the attack on Jeju Island by the Japanese Air Force, Su Tong jumped like thunder in his office, in recent years, the smooth sailing of the Chinese army's military operations in Korea, Vietnam and other countries has made the military top brass proud, and the top brass of the South China Sea Fleet did not even think of installing an anti-air radar station during the four-month construction period, which led to being caught off guard this time. Su Tong was naturally very angry when he heard the news, and ordered Shen Honglie, commander of the South China Sea Fleet, and other major officers to immediately make a deep review and order him to redeploy Jeju Island within three days.

"President, the time of this bombing has also sounded a wake-up call for us, since we drove the Japanese back to the mainland, the whole army has shown contempt for Japan in the east, so that the reaction of the Japanese has not been fully anticipated and the corresponding plan has been made, I am responsible as the commander of the fleet, please punish me" Shen Honglie's heart was also uncomfortable at this time, this Japanese bombing was like a resounding slap in the face to the navy collective.

"Of course you are also responsible, and you are to blame as the commander of the fleet." Su Tong, who was still angry, aimed the muzzle at Chen Shaokuan.

"Jianming, Chengzhang, as the commander of the navy, he is usually very busy with official duties, so if you have time to come and pay attention to the affairs of Jeju Island from time to time, you don't have to criticize him too much." Jiang Baili, the general on the side, saw that Su Tong had a tendency to expand the scope of the attack, and hurriedly stood up to intercede for Shen Honglie.

Jiang Baili's face Su Tong naturally wanted to give, and he stopped with a soft "hum".

Seeing this, Jiang Baili hurriedly said to Shen Honglie: "Chengzhang, after you go back, you should quickly order someone to repair the dock that was damaged by the Japanese, and the most important thing is to build an air defense radar station, and the air defense fortifications on the island must also be improved. ”

"I ask the president and the Duke of Tan Ning to rest assured, I will definitely take care of this matter myself when I go back."

"And," Su Tong added later: "When you go back, you must order the fleet to prepare for a big battle, and once you receive the order, you must attack immediately." ”

"It's guaranteed to get the job done"
