On the day the captured pilot was successfully rescued, on Ryukyu Island in Taiwan, at around three o'clock in the morning, Jiang Chuanjun and others stood on the beach facing the southwest, waiting nervously one by one.
As the appointed time came, everyone held their breath and tried to get some definite news from the sounds coming from the sea. Chen Yuanyang, deputy commander of the Navy and commander of the Dongshan Fleet, was in charge of this sea crossing because it was a dark operation at night. , in order to avoid going astray, he specially borrowed a set of electronic theodolite from the R&D institute. Electronic theodolite was a high-end technology product and was only developed in the 1960s. This set of instruments for guiding the course was originally prepared for the aircraft carrier fleet. , was temporarily borrowed by him to ensure the correct course. In order to avoid running aground when offshore, he also invited several old fishermen to act as guides.
There are more than seventy ships of various types in total. The largest one can carry more than 400 people at a time, while the smallest one can also carry more than 100 people. Of course, the reason why so many ships are used is to carry Enough weapons, equipment and even machinery to ensure long-term survival on the island of Taiwan.
It has been 40 years since Taiwan left the mainland. Nowadays, the new generation of young people, if their parents do not tell them specifically, they have even forgotten their identity as descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties. Taiwan is completely unfamiliar to the current mainland. Because of this Strange, even though Jiang Guangnai came forward to contact the two old friends, whether it was Chen Yuanyang, Chu Tiange, or Jiang Chuanjun, who was the pioneer, they were actually quite uneasy in their hearts.
Although the dispatch of troops to Taiwan finally became a reality due to Ouyang Yun's persistence, the top brass of the Xuebing Army had many communications with him in private. Among them, Li Hanhun and others expressed considerable concern: Ouyang, we must do a good job this time. Preparations for failure, and most likely a disastrous defeat, the future is too unknown, I really don’t know how many local people still remember their Yanhuang ancestry, and have I ever heard that in the hearts of Taiwanese people, they regard themselves as They are superior to people on the mainland. After all, at this time, Taiwan's economy and people's livelihood are much better than those on the mainland.
Ouyang Yun answered them this way: The more this is the case, the more we must seize the time. As you said, time will wear away people's memory and blood. So, while there is still a part of Chinese spirit in their bodies that has not been Let's try our best to smooth things over. I want the Taiwanese to know that the mainland has not forgotten them. No matter how poor the mainland is, it will still make efforts to regain Taiwan.
"It's already half past three. Is there still no signal?" Zhang Zhengyong was the most calm among the people. He lit up the lighter, looked at his watch, and asked a Wolf Fang soldier next to him who was listening attentively with a headset on.
"No, yes." The soldier said, taking off the headset and handing it to him. Zhang Zhengyong quickly put it on, and then he heard a rustling voice coming from the headset: "Nuwa is calling for the colorful stone. Nuwa called for the colorful stone..." Even though he was calm, he couldn't help but get a little excited. He took a deep breath, carefully held the microphone with his left hand and said: "I am the colorful stone. I am the colorful stone. I have received the gift from the empress. Calling, please report your location."
"Longitude 119, latitude 22, longitude 119, latitude 22."
Zhang Zhengyong remembered the longitude and latitude of Ryukyu Island firmly. He said: "It's very close, please work hard."
"Okay, see you later."
Jiang Guangnai waited for Zhang Zhengyong to stop talking and asked: "We have been contacted."
"Yes, we are not far away. Let's light a bonfire."
"Light the bonfire, brothers, it's going well."
"Have you been contacted? How many people are there?" Zuo Xiaolian and Song Minquan came over and asked, their voices full of expectation. Because of their family relationships, Zuo Xiaolian and Song Minquan had more or less contacted each other. Weapons and firearms have a certain basic understanding in this area. Ever since they saw the advanced weapons and powerful combat power of Zhang Zhengyong and others, they originally thought that their father was fooling around and making fun of the family's future. Unknowingly, they have gained a certain level of knowledge. Confidence, sometimes I even think that if I become a part of it, it is not impossible to make achievements and become famous.
Considering the confidentiality factor, the specific details of the "Zhao Orphans" operation were not told to them. Jiang Chuanjun felt that it was no longer necessary to hide it at this time. He watched others light the bonfire and said with a smile: "A total of five thousand There won’t be many people here.”
"Only five thousand people." Jiang Chuanjun felt that five thousand people was already a lot, but Zuo Xiaolian and Song Minquan actually thought it was too few. This made the faces of Jiang Chuanjun and others become unnatural. Jiang Chuanjun asked them Explained: "Don't think that there are less than five thousand people. In fact, they are all the elites of our student army. You have already seen the skills of Commander Zhang and his colleagues. There are five people of their level alone." There are about a hundred people. Let me tell you, five hundred people of their level are worth more than a whole regiment of little devils. In short, take a closer look, we will teach the Japanese a painful lesson. ."
Five bonfires have been lit. Under the light of the bonfires, Zuo Xiaolian and Song Minquan looked at each other with surprise and uncertainty in their eyes.
Jiang Chuanjun swore that the Xuebing Army would definitely regain Taiwan. They always thought that even if the Xuebing Army did not dispatch the entire army, at least one-third of the troops would be dispatched. Based on their understanding, the two armies would have nearly 80,000 troops. What about the human military strength? Because my old man and Jiang Guangnai in Guangxi know everything about the Xuebing Army, so they also know how powerful the Xuebing Army is. For their mission, the Xuebing Army can only invest 50,000 people at a time. With the above forces and the dispatch of the air force, there is still hope for the recovery of Taiwan. But now it seems that things are not developing as they expected. The Xuebing Army may not have the intention to go to war at all. The reason why they sent troops to Taiwan , perhaps just to contain the Japanese army so that Taiwan cannot exist as a rear area,
Another hour passed, and when light emerged from the east, the first fishing boat successfully washed up the beach under the guidance of Zhang Zhengyong. Then some soldiers jumped off and waded towards the shore. At about five o'clock, the sky had already darkened. At daybreak, all the ships had completed their delivery missions, and half an hour later, with the arrival of high tide, they would be able to leave the beach and return.
This time, the commander-in-chief of the landing force was Major General Jiang Dahe, the former squadron leader of the First Squadron of the Langya Brigade, and later the brigade commander of the Third Academy Brigade. Jiang Dahe’s background was very similar to Guo Biao’s. He was a martial artist, and because he was literate, he was After attending the military academy, he stood out and grew into a senior commander. Ouyang Yun chose him as the actual commander-in-chief of the "Zhao Orphans" unit for two reasons. On the one hand, it was because of his talent, and the other was Based on his experience in the Wolf Fang, although the troops participating in this operation were pure infantry, they were composed of multiple systems, including the regular army, the Wolf Fang Special Forces and the Fox Tong Information Operations Force, and then the For the officers and soldiers of the Spark Brigade, if they want troops from so many systems to blend together to form a powerful combat force, the commander must not only have a deterrent effect, but also must have sufficient talents.
The landing was successful. The next step was to control Ryukyu Island.
There is only one small police station on Ryukyu Island. The Japanese Governor of Taiwan, Kobayashi Shizuo, simply sent a Japanese veteran to preside over it. This old Japanese had been rectified by Zhang Zhengyong long ago. Now, the two other Taiwanese in the police station have been " I was convinced" and became a glorious member of the Taiwan Liberation Army.
Among the team developed by Jiang Chuanjun from the front station, only the Xie family and his son knew something about Ryukyu Island, and their understanding was very superficial. They were not sure whether there was a hidden line hidden by the Japanese on the island. In order to avoid the premature leakage of information due to a large-scale war, After discussing with Zhang Zhengyong, Jiang Chuanjun and Zhang Zhengyong decided to wait until a large number of troops landed before implementing military control.
Jiang Dahe and Zhang Zhengyong were old acquaintances. Jiang Chuanjun was also familiar with him because he had received assault training in Langya. After they met, the latter two people immediately put forward this suggestion, and Jiang Dahe immediately decided to implement it. So, in Zuo Xiaolian and Song Minquan looked at each other with some surprise. The first thing they did after the landing force was assembled was to monitor the residents of Ryukyu Island. Moreover, some people from Hutong held an instrument the size of a radio. , began to look around for something. They were actually looking for a possible hidden transmission system. At the same time, carrier pigeons, an old-fashioned but effective long-distance communication tool, were also one of their search targets. In addition to these, the island Their fishing boats were also centralized and controlled, and the Xuebing Army gave them double compensation for the losses they suffered.
The biggest danger of the "Orphan of Zhao" operation is that the sudden appearance of the fleet on Ryukyu Island will attract the attention of some more alert people, and if there are Japanese among them, then the mid-term plan of the "Orphan of Zhao" operation will not be possible. no change,
Fortunately for Jiang Dahe, until the tide came in and the fleet began to return, the Japanese on Taiwan Island did not make any unusual moves, and the Japanese ships in Kaohsiung Harbor were very cooperative and did not proceed until about nine o'clock in the morning. It was a routine cruise, and at this time, the transport fleet had left Ryukyu Island for more than two hours.
By this time, the "Zhao Orphans" operation was going smoothly, and just when Jiang Dahe and the others began to convene a meeting of officers above the regiment to plan the next action plan, about a hundred kilometers northwest of Kaohsiung Port, the returning The fleet finally encountered a Japanese ship,
The South China Sea was still dominated by the Japanese at this time, so Chen Yuanyang could only choose to set off from Dongshan Island at night. Due to the limitations of time and space technology, the fleet's sailing speed was limited, which also resulted in the fleet being
The probability of discovery by the Japanese was extremely high. In fact, the fleet was only half late than scheduled.
Arriving at Ryukyu Island in just a few hours is already a great blessing. After all, a sea ship is no better than a land march. A slight deviation in the direction may cause the final result to be far away from the destination, and the view at sea during the day is too good. For these reasons,
As a result, it was only a matter of time before the fleet was discovered by the Japanese.
