On the pier of Jeju Island, Zhuang Lei led a group of generals to look inland. "The military department called and said that the special forces were coming to the island for training, and it was difficult to use the special forces to launch an attack?" The chief of staff was confused. Zhuang Lei shook his head and said: "The special forces are the pride of the sky, and they will not let them charge, but it is really unexpected to let them come to Jeju Island, and I don't know what the intentions of the headquarters are." "Look at them coming, I heard that the soldiers of the devil's army are all sharpshooters, and they can't get close to two or three people in hand-to-hand combat." One of the operational staff officers muttered.

Zhuang Lei said with a smile: "With false rumors, special soldiers are also mortals, and their strong combat effectiveness mainly comes from careful selection and cruel training. Their training intensity is several levels higher than our training syllabus. What is a special force, that is, a force that performs special operations, don't follow the crowd! The combat staff officer stuck out his tongue and disappeared, the transport ship gradually approached the dock, and the special soldiers on the deck were wearing camouflage uniforms, steel helmets and carrying weapons and bags, lined up to disembark. The special forces wore iron hats on their heads, and the murderous aura on everyone's faces was really not blown. ”

The chief of staff said: "Division commander, I heard that we will also install steel helmets next month, this kind of steel helmet can really block bullets?" "Last time I was in the military department, the steel helmet was specially tested, and it can indeed block bullets. In the future, with the protection of steel helmets, our battle damage rate will be greatly reduced. It is said that wearing a steel helmet on the head can reduce casualties by 30 percent. "With 30 percent of the casualties, the effect of steel helmets has such an effect, no wonder the headquarters ordered that all the front-line offensive troops should be equipped with steel helmets. But the iron guy on his head was heavy and uncomfortable. ”

"Whether it's comfort or life, I think the soldiers know." After Zhuang Lei finished speaking, he saw the transport ship docking. He hurried forward to meet him. Ma Kai, the captain of the special forces group, raised his hand and saluted: "The contemptible person is Ma Kai, the captain of the special forces group!" Ordered to train on Jeju Island," Zhuang Lei saluted the military and said, "1st Division Commander Zhuang Lei, welcome!" "The two of them are the same ranks. So be kind to each other. It was Li Tie's turn to take a look, and without waiting for Ma Kai's introduction, Zhuang Lei's eyes widened and said, "Is it Li Tie?" "Zhuang Lei is really you!" The two sides hugged each other excitedly. "I said that your kid disappeared suddenly, and it turned out that he was a special soldier!" "You're not bad, you're all mixed up with the division commander." The two sides made love and put the confused Ma Kai aside.

Seeing that the two people were almost hot, Ma Kai asked, "How did you meet?" Li Tie said with a smile: "Back then, we belonged to the same battalion on the Korean Peninsula, he was the commander of the 1st Company, and I was the commander of the 2nd Company. It's an old comrade-in-arms. Zhuang Lei smiled: "Captain Ma, is this kid safe as your deputy?" Back then, he was always self-righteous and competed with me everywhere. Ma Kai smiled: "It is not only my subordinate, but also my brother-in-law. The words of the eldest brother are the holy decree. "Don't listen to his brags, I'm letting him in my wife's face!" Li Tiezui was unconvinced.

The three of them teased for a while, and Zhuang Lei said: "Captain Ma, it's a happy event to meet in a foreign country." I'm going to wash the dust for you tonight. Your location has been arranged. After settling in, I came to my division headquarters. "I said old comrades-in-arms, you can be so-so with the food, but you can't be sloppy with the wine." "Don't worry! Keep it so you can drink enough. Zhuang Lei broke up with Ma Kai and Li Tie, Zhuang Lei inspected the training of the troops, and Ma Kai and Li Tie led their troops to the station. After the troops were settled, Ma Kai and Li Tie went to the division headquarters.

The two walked into the division headquarters and saw Zhuang Lei sitting at the table, and the appetizers were already placed on the table. Zhuang Lei stood up and said politely: "Captain Ma." There are no vegetables this season, so I have to make up for it. "It's nice to have chicken, fish, and meat." Li Tie was not allowed to sit at the table. After all, Ma Kai and Zhuang Lei were not familiar with each other, and the two sides took their seats politely. "I said Zhuang Lei, what do you mean, where is the wine?" Li Tie said dissatisfied. Zhuang Lei waved his hand, and two guards carried in a large jar. Li Tie stepped forward and opened the lid of the jar and found that there was yellow soup inside.

"What kind of wine is this?" "You taste it!" Li Tie picked up the bowl and took a sip of half a bowl and tasted it, "It's a little sweet and sour, it tastes good, but I don't feel like wine at all," Li Tie raised his neck and drank all the remaining wine in the bowl and said, "Old comrade-in-arms, you are too stingy, just use this to fool us!" Zhuang Lei said with a smile: "This is called rice wine, which is made from rice and is a specialty of the Korean Peninsula." Don't underestimate this rice wine, you will get drunk unconsciously, and you can't let go of it after drinking it. This one was so drunk that I couldn't wake up for a day. ”

Li Tie didn't believe Zhuang Lei's words, and poured a bowl of wine into his stomach as soon as he started drinking. Ma Kai saw Zhuang Lei smiling and was silent, knowing that Zhuang Lei's words were not ridicule. When Li Tie drank 10 bowls, Ma Kai and Zhuang Lei only drank four bowls. “haha！ Yes, yes, this rice wine is more delicious the more you drink it. When Li Tie drank the 15th bowl, the state came out. His tongue hardened, his head began to dizzy, and his eyes became obsessed. Soon he fell asleep on the table. Seeing Li Tie's appearance, Ma Kai smiled and said, "Master Zhuang did it on purpose!" ”

"Captain Ma, this kid's temper hasn't changed at all. The nature of the country is easy to change and difficult to change, and I must teach him a lesson with facts. "Li Tie is a good hand at fighting, and he is a little lacking in strategy. I found that you have a map of the Falklands hanging on the wall, and it looks like your division is on the main mission! "Ma Kai changed the subject." Yes, at present, the combat jihua has not yet been communicated to the troops, but the officers and soldiers have already tacitly understood it. "At present, our opponent has suffered repeated losses, and he must be very well prepared, and the difficulty of attacking Tsushima can be imagined, and we must try to find out the unfavorable factors."

Zhuang Lei said: "Yesterday I sent two reconnaissance teams to secretly land on Tsushima Island, and now I am blinded and ignorant of the Japanese army's defense on the island. Captain Ma, you participated in the battle to land on Taiwan, please tell me about the situation at that time. Ma Kai nodded and said: "The situation in Taiwan is different from the situation in Tsushima, and the Japanese army must have made a lot of preparations, and Taiwan's experience cannot be replicated here, so it is urgent to find out the defense situation of Tsushima." "You're right!" Zhuang Lei's eyes focused on the map and began to worry about the tower's reconnaissance team.

Tsushima Island is about 50 kilometers from the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, and the shadow of Tsushima can be seen on a clear day, even more clearly through a telescope. Tsushima Island is about 97 kilometers from the Japanese mainland, so if you want to attack the Japanese mainland. It was necessary to take Tsushima Island and use it as a springboard to launch a large-scale landing operation on the Japanese mainland. Tsushima Island runs north-south and is divided into upper and lower islands. It is 16 kilometers wide from east to west. It is 80 kilometers long from north to south, and the upper island is the main island.

Generally speaking, with an 80-kilometer coastline, there are definitely many suitable places for landing. However, Tsushima Island is in a special situation, and its coastline facing the sea is mostly steep, and there are no more than 10 landing sites to choose from. Therefore, the Japanese defense units could be calmly deployed. According to CIA intelligence, there were at least 30,000 Japanese defenders on Tsushima, and the fortified artillery on Tsushima would also pose a lethal threat to the landing force. At present, the headquarters has come up with a way to deal with the fortress artillery according to the actual situation. The Ordnance Industry Administration has developed a new type of armor-piercing blasting projectile, which can not only threaten enemy warships, but also destroy fortress artillery.

At present, the 305 mm main guns on the battleships Beijing and Harbin have all been replaced with new armor-piercing shells. At that time, the battleships Beijing and Harbin. Will take part in the landing operation on Tsushima. But it is necessary to find out the enemy's defenses. In order to choose the right landing site. That night, Ma Kai and Li Tie stayed at the division headquarters, and early the next morning they came to a high point and looked at Tsushima Island. The sky is getting brighter, and a red sun rises from the sea.

The weather was sunny and the visibility was excellent. In the light of the sun, Tsushima is faintly visible. They held up binoculars and observed. "Damn, the terrain of Tsushima is too complicated to defend and difficult to attack. The island has numerous mountain peaks and the coastline is steep cliffs. It is too difficult to land and attack. Li Tie muttered. Ma Kai echoed: "Master Zhuang, Tsushima Island is a hard nut to crack, and it will be a vicious battle. You want to develop a detailed attack jihua, I recommend that the soldier master the minimum climbing jishu. ”

"Captain Ma has a sharp eye and hits the nail on the head. Special Soldiers are all good climbers, and I need your support. "Master Zhuang doesn't need to be polite, we are all for one purpose. Unfortunately, we could not participate in the attack on Tsushima, so we could only watch from the sidelines. "Involve special forces in the attack, that's impossible. Don't worry, Captain Ma, I guess that after the successful landing, you will definitely be able to show your skills, and you are the real devil on land. Li Tie teased: "Okay, don't be hypocritical, it's better to hit the day the next day, I will immediately organize people and immediately put into training." ”

After Li Tie finished speaking, he turned his head and left, "When will this kid's temper change!" Zhuang Lei looked at Li Tie's figure and smiled. It wouldn't be Li Tie if he changed his temper, but I like his temper. Zhuang Lei smiled and ordered the guards to inform the chief of staff to immediately pull the troops to the southern coastline of Jeju Island and devote them to rock climbing training as regiments. The southern coastline of Jeju Island is similar to that of Tsushima Island, and the terrain is completely suitable for targeted training.

Li Tie is responsible for the daily management and training of the special forces, so Ma Kai is very relaxed. The chief of staff was responsible for the day-to-day management of the 1st Division, so Zhuang Lei was also relatively relaxed. The two continued to observe Tsushima Island. "Look at your uneasiness, you must be concerned about the situation of the reconnaissance detachment." "The Japanese are heavily guarded on the island, and it will be difficult for a reconnaissance detachment to escape if it is discovered. My biggest anxiety was the failure of the reconnaissance mission. Although there is plenty of time", it alarmed the Japanese army, and the second group of scouts was dispatched, which was even greater. ”

Zhuang Lei fell silent, Ma Kai knew how much pressure he was on, but he didn't know how to comfort him. After a long time, Ma Kai said: "Master Zhuang, I believe that the warriors will definitely complete the task." "I believe them too," Zhuang Lei's face grimened. Commander Zhuang, I would like to study the situation on Tsushima with you, and once you land successfully, we will definitely be used in order to quickly capture Tsushima. Now that I understand Commander Ho's intentions, Weishenme pulled us to Jeju Island to train. ”

Zhuang Lei shook his head and said: "Commander He has another meaning, that is, he is not 10% sure of landing on Tsushima Island, so he didn't tell you clearly." "You are right, this landing operation is different from the past, it is a joint operation by sea route, and if there is a problem in any link, it will affect the entire battle situation, and perhaps the pressure on the commander will be even greater." "It's not your or me's job to control the overall situation, let's go to the war room!" (To be continued......)
