Troops on shore are evacuating Dongshan Island in an orderly manner.

Because there are not enough vehicles, the troops who cannot leave temporarily cannot live in any barracks. They can only live in tents, and the locations of the tents are carefully selected to prevent disasters such as landslides caused by earthquakes.

All the naval forces that could leave were gone.

Only the landing craft brigade was left "burning the midnight oil", racing against time to supply the militia reserve fleet that was about to be disbanded.

Facts have proven that the superior's decision was correct.

At 8:17 p.m., just as Han Yu returned to the training ship, another aftershock occurred, and the tremor was stronger than the several aftershocks in the morning.

When the mechanical repair squadron helped repair the remaining damaged fishing boats and took the power boat back to the training ship, the duty officer of the logistics support group reported that the aftershock had reached 8 on the Richter scale!

Han Yu wanted to say goodbye to Commander Meng of the 402nd Army, Deputy Chief of Staff Jiang of the 105th Army and other leaders, but they left with their troops during the day.

Then I thought that it was really not advisable to stay here for a long time, so I immediately raised the intercom and said: "The Binxun number is calling the Binjiang Militia Transport Brigade. Please answer when I receive it."

"Copy that, Secretary Han, please speak."

"Inspect the ships of each squadron, count the personnel on each ship, and complete the inspection report." "Yes!"

"Qin Ke, you are responsible for counting the personnel of each squadron."

"We just did an inventory. All the people are on board, and the power boat has been hoisted up." "Director Qian, where are you?"

“All personnel are in place and ready to sail at any time.

"Okay, let's prepare the car and stand by." "Yes!"

I didn't go with the big troops when I came here, but I have to do it with the big troops when I go back.

Han Yu waited on the bridge for about half an hour. The fleet formation at the East China Sea Base issued a sailing order. With a whistle, the Binxun slowly sailed away from the anchorage under the command of Teacher Xia.

Next, is Big 001.

What we should be wary of now is not the artillery attacks by enemy ships and air strikes by enemy aircraft, but the earthquakes and tsunamis that may be triggered by the earthquakes.

The crew members on duty all stayed at their respective posts, and the crew members and "passengers" who took turns to rest all wore life jackets to sleep, and tied themselves to the bed with ropes to prevent them from falling and knocking.

The task of the rescue boat brigade is to ensure the safety of the Binjiang Militia Transport Brigade and the Guzhou Militia Transport Brigade. Looking at the radar and through the radio, it was confirmed that the more than one hundred fishing boats that had just followed were from Binjiang and Guzhou. Han Yu gave the command

Handed over to Qin Weiquan and quickly returned to the crew cabin to rest.

I haven't slept all day and night, and I really can't bear it.

Unexpectedly, I slept until 9:30 am on the 22nd, and was awakened by the cheers of Ma Jintao, Xiaoyu and others.

Han Yu got up and picked up the walkie-talkie and asked, "What's going on?"

"Dried salted fish, 825 and 823 are catching up with us!" Xiaoyu stood on the deck, holding a walkie-talkie in one hand and waving desperately to the Chinese Customs boat 825 sailing on the port side.

Han Yu was equally excited. He ran out of the cabin quickly, stood by the railing on the second floor, adjusted the intercom to the frequency of the 825 boat, and asked happily: "Lao Jiang, Lao Jiang, where have you been? Why are you here with us now?"

Meet up?”

Jiang Shengqi was equally happy and excited. He stood by the porthole and looked at Han Yu with a wry smile and said: "As soon as we received the order, we rushed to the sea area where you were conducting exercises. However, we hurriedly and slowly failed to catch up. Instead, we were captured by the leaders of the navy!"

"Who captured your young men, and what did they capture you for?"

"Escort, you are the first batch to return. There are many fishing boats there after you leave. The fishing boats can't move fast, so we can only help the navy escort a fleet from Zhejiang to their fishing port, and then catch up at full speed. of large troops.

"It turned out to be the young man who was arrested!" Han Yu smiled and asked: "Where were you when the earthquake first started? Were you affected? Were any of you injured?"

"We were drifting on the sea, and a swell came up and almost overturned us. Several brothers suffered some skin injuries, but they had been bandaged long ago, so they were fine."

"It's okay. It's okay."

"Secretary Han, how are you? Are you okay?" Captain Liu of the 823 boat called over the intercom. Han Yu quickly said: "We are fine, we are fine."

"It's okay. I didn't expect an earthquake to happen, let alone that we would encounter it." Captain Liu recalled yesterday's experience with lingering fear.

"Stop talking about this, Brother Liu, have you reported to your superiors? Does your superiors know that we are on our way home?"

"We have reported it. The Maritime Safety Administration has reported it for us." When talking about the affairs of his unit, Captain Liu said excitedly: "Xuguan and Hu Guan are probably in Binjiang now. Comrades from the Maritime Safety Administration said that the leaders will go to Binjiang to arrest smuggling. The dock is waiting for us to welcome us in triumph."

Just as he was talking, Guo Weitao's voice came from the intercom.

"Secretary Han, I am Guo Weitao. You have participated in military exercises for such a long time. Now that the exercise is over, has there been a military parade or a commendation meeting?"

"No no?"

"It's too close to Taiwan. There's an earthquake in Taiwan. The superiors must first consider the safety of the troops and seize the time to organize a withdrawal. We need to repair the ship, supply supplies, and prepare. The troops on the shore don't have as much preparation work as we do, and they can leave faster. We were earlier.”

Han Yu didn't want to talk too much about military exercises on the intercom, so he asked: "Lao Guo, where is Xiao Gong? Is Xiao Gong's burn healed?"

"Okay, I'll let him talk to you." "Okay."

"Secretary Han, I saw you. I'm fine. My hands and arms are fine."

"That's good, otherwise I won't know how to explain to your girlfriend when I go back." Han Yu was lying on the guardrail chatting with his colleagues.

This was the first time for Ma Jintao, Xiaoyu, Gao Jichun and others to see the 823 and 825 boats. They looked at the slender and beautiful streamlined hulls and the machine gun wrapped in oilcloth on the bow. They commented. Extremely envious.

"No wonder Xianyu has to be transferred to the customs. This is not an anti-smuggling boat. This is a warship!" "Yes, it looks more beautiful than the navy's frigates."

“There’s a motorboat behind!”

"I'm envious. If I'm envious, I'll be transferred to the customs."

Xiaoyu was very envious, but after thinking about it, he still shook his head: "I still like my little 001. Little 001 was left to me by my master."

Chen Jian reminded: "Little 001 was left to Xianyu by your master, okay? You didn't inherit Little 001 from your master, you inherited it from your dried salted fish!"

"What do you, a city manager, know? Little 001 is mine. If you don't believe me, ask Xianyugan whether he has been on Little 001 longer or I have been on Little 001 longer!" Xiaoyu paused and emphasized again.

He said: "The barge is mine too, and Lao Ma is borrowing my barge for work."

"Okay, okay, it's all yours."

"What do you mean?" "I'm kidding you."

At the same time, Han Yu washed his face and came to the cab, looked at the first mate on duty and asked: "Teacher Li, were there any aftershocks at night?"

"No."

"It would be nice if there wasn't one, otherwise we don't know what Taiwan would be like."

"Xianyu, we can't be too optimistic." The first mate turned around and picked up a telegram, handed it over and said with a wry smile: "This is the telegram sent by the logistics support team at 6 o'clock in the morning, saying that the National Seismological Administration predicts that there is a possibility of aftershocks."

"This is no end!"

"The telegram made it very clear that that area is an earthquake zone.

Han Yu leaned over and looked at the chart, and said thoughtfully: "We are far enough away from Taiwan. Even if there is a big aftershock, it should not affect us."

"That's true. If everything goes well, we can get home before 12 o'clock at night at the latest."

"It's not appropriate to get home at 12 o'clock at night. Our leaders are waiting for us and we can't let them stay up late." The first mate found it strange and couldn't believe that Xianyu would think about his leaders.

Just when he thought Xianyu had grown up and matured, and knew how to handle the relationship between superiors and subordinates, Han Yu pointed to the chart: "Teacher Li, our route needs to be adjusted."

"How to adjust?"

"We don't need to send the fishing boats to Lusi Port and disband when they reach the mouth of the Yangtze River, and let the fishing boats participating in the war go back to their respective homes."

Not all of the fifty-five fishing boats came from Dongqi, but there were also fishing boats from Sigang, Dongru and Linghai.

Even if the fishing boat is sent to Lusi Port where it started, everyone still has to go back to their "home port" separately.

The first mate reacted and was about to say no problem when Han Yu continued: "After the formation is disbanded, we will first go to the Changxing Island Pier of the Taoming Maritime Safety Bureau."

“What to do at Changxing Island Maritime Terminal?”

"I have 62 logs posted there and I need to drag them back along the way." "Wood!"

"The logs we salvaged from the sea when we returned from Qingdao are nearly one meter in diameter and each one is fifteen or six meters long. They can be sold for a lot of money.

It turns out that what he was thinking about was the wood he picked up from the sea!

It won't be fast to haul the logs and it will take until noon tomorrow to drag the logs to the riverside. The first officer was happy, looked at the chart and said with a smile: "Okay."

"You plan the route first. I'll ask the radio operator to send a telegram to the Binjiang Maritime Safety Bureau and ask the Maritime Safety Bureau to tell the leader of our Investigation Bureau that we will arrive home around 10 o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Go ahead and leave this to me.

Binjiang Customs does not have a high-power radio station, let alone a full-time radio operator. The news from Han Yu must be transmitted through the Maritime Safety Administration.

Deputy Commissioner Ma received a call from the Maritime Safety Administration and quickly reported to Commissioner Xu and Deputy Commissioner Hu of Jiangcheng Customs who arrived in Binjiang early this morning, as well as Commissioner Zeng of Binjiang Customs.

"Are you going to Binjiang around 10 a.m. tomorrow?"

"Well, they have to go to Changxing Island Maritime Terminal first to drag back the wood they salvaged from the sea when they returned from Qingdao." "What wood?" Guanzhang Xu was confused.

Deputy Commissioner Ma didn't know how to answer, so Zhou Huixin couldn't help laughing and explained the ins and outs of those pieces of wood.

Xu Guan was overjoyed, and laughed and said: "He is a man who knows how to live a good life, and those wood should be dragged back, after all, they can be sold for a lot of money.

"He is used to calculating carefully. Although his people and his ship are still on the way back, he has already put the modification of the 825 boat on the agenda. This is the telegram he sent back from the sea. Take a look and let me

Help him notify the shipyard to make preparations, and have the 825 boat docked after the induction ceremony, and strive to complete the modification within a month.

"This is a person who does things. There are fewer and fewer comrades like him who are dedicated to doing things." "Yes, so as long as he has good ideas, Lao Zhou and I will support him."

"I almost forgot. You need to call the municipal party committee office immediately. Secretary Lu said that he will welcome their triumphant return and attend the induction ceremony of the 825 boat. Secretary Lu cannot stay up all night in vain."
