Chapter 52 Confinement Island

The wind and rain are severe, and there will be huge risks when the docking is at this time. The captain of the landing craft came to see Captain Huang to discuss countermeasures. Seeing that the two passengers were not seasick during the bumps, he couldn't help but wonder: "What's the matter with you two being transferred here by the Navy?"

Huang Yaowu smiled and said, "I'm not. It's easy to transfer across military branches."

"Where are you?" the captain asked Fu Ping'an.

Fu Ping'an shook his head, unwilling to say more. He often practices big loops, and it feels like he is spinning from the horizontal bar. When he walks around, he can't stand steadily, and he gets used to it after many times.

"That's just that I've fainted once and I'm immune." The captain gave his own explanation and turned to the topic: "Captain Coptis, the storm is too big and cannot be trusted. I can only return. Let's come back next time."

Huang Yaowu said: "Why don't you try again."

The captain said, "Are you responsible for something wrong?"

Huang Yaowu said: "Brother, you say this like a navy."

For some reason, this sentence angered the captain, and he said angrily: "Just try it."

The sea conditions are not good today, with high winds and rapid waves. The tonnage of the landing craft is not large enough, floating around in the vast ocean, and the waves near the shore are even bigger. The waves are slapped on the reefs and the walls of the shore. The spectacular and intense scene reminds Fu Ping'an of an ancient lyric: "The waves slam the shore and roll up thousands of snow."

In the howling sea breeze, Fu Ping'an seemed to have auditory hallucinations, and there was a vague singing voice floating. Could it be that the legendary Siren Siren appeared? He saw that no one else had any abnormal reaction and was even more convinced that he was auditory hallucinations.

There is a small dock on 374 Island. It is difficult to get up with such a large wave landing craft, and it is difficult to unload the cargo normally after it is up. The captain drove the landing craft around the island to find a place where he could land on the beach. The landing craft is not an ordinary sea boat, but is a military equipment designed for infantry landing. It is strong and durable. Both sides of the ship's side are covered with scrap tires, which are all anti-collision buffers. As long as there is a small piece of sand, the landing craft can rush up, throw the tail anchor, and open the front cabin door, and the personnel and supplies will go down.

Each island has a beach, which is the law of nature. The result of 100 million years of turbulence, but the width of the beach is wide or narrow. There is also a small beach in 274 Island. According to common sense, it is also flat below the beach and there are no reefs. However, the beach is backed by a cliff. Even if the beach is rushing up, the people will not be able to arrive smoothly. Let two people climb the cliff in the storm. Isn’t that going to die?

The landing craft went around the dock again. The captain seemed to be irritated by the words of Captain Huang and had to lean on it. Captain Huang stood beside the captain who was steering and pointed: "Wait a minute, there will be a period of calm after these big waves have passed. Take the time to lean on it and you will definitely succeed."

The captain was already overwhelmed and nervous. Captain Huang also overcame the matter, which made him even more angry and threw the rudder: "You can do it!"

This was just a pissing sentence, but Captain Huang took the steering wheel without saying a word. His posture and calmness were clearly the experienced old captain. Sure enough, the wave passed and calmed down temporarily. Captain Huang turned the steering wheel and moved closer quickly, steadily and accurately.

But it is not enough to get on the dock, so the ship has to be firmly secured on the dock. The captain shouted that the cable was snatched, and the sailor took out the cable gun and found that the empty bag was gone. At this time, time is life, so he could only perform manual cable skipping. The sailor threw it twice and failed. The wind was strong and the distance was long, so it was difficult for human resources to throw it.

Fu Ping'an grabbed the head of the head. The action of skipping the cable is different from throwing grenades, but they all have requirements for arm strength. He had just seen the action of skipping the cable, and he threw it hard, and threw it on the dock with a lead sinker. However, someone still had to tie the cable to the cable pile, so a man had to jump to the dock.

It was Fu Ping'an again, no one ordered him or guided him. The soldier jumped to the dock. The sailors were about to applaud, but Fu Ping'an's feet slipped and fell down. Fortunately, he quickly grabbed the cement edge of the dock.

Another big wave came, and the landing craft with a small tonnage was pushed to the dock by the waves. The weight of hundreds of tons was pressed over, and the soldier would be crushed into meat paste. At the critical moment, Fu Ping'an had practiced pull-up skills countless times came in handy. He climbed up with both hands. As soon as the person got up, the landing craft crashed into the dock.

Seeing Fu Ping'an tied the cable to the cable pile, the captain breathed a sigh of relief and asked the army captain next to him who was driving the boat more slippery than him, "What is your background?"

Corps Huang said: "I am a man from Rongcheng, Shandong, and the fisherman's child, grew up on the boat."

"Where is him?" The captain pointed at Fu Ping'an.

"He is just a life-threatening product." Corps Huang said.

Although the landing craft was on the dock, it could not stay for a long time under such weather conditions. It would add a little danger if it was delayed for an extra minute. At this time, the garrison on the island also discovered the landing craft. The two of them ran over with their luggage. Fu Ping'an saw the two of them unkempt, bearded, and their eyes were dazed. They passed by in front of him without saying hello. It was not like changing defenses, but like escaping from the island.

These two people were replaced, one of them was an officer. Logically speaking, he should have had a detailed work handover with Captain Huang, but no one cares about it at this moment. The two simply shook hands and said a few words. The landing craft picked up the people, untied the cables and evacuated, and did not stop for a second.

Commander Huang took his backpacks and stepped onto the dock. He saw Fu Ping'an boarding the boat again and carrying a pack of mail. These were things sent by the families of the officers and soldiers stationed in the island.

The war lasted for three months, and the letters from home were worth ten thousand gold. In this Internet age, the officers and soldiers stationed on the island had to rely on the most primitive letters and the geese of relatives and friends to convey their feelings. The supply ship only came once a month. The comrades' desire for emails is much greater than that of supplies.

This soldier is humane. This is Huang Yaowu's first evaluation of Fu Ping'an.

The landing craft left and returned to the voyage with the supplies that should have been unloaded. A company commander and a soldier stood on the dock, like an astronaut from the space station watching the spacecraft return to Earth. From now on, they will be isolated from the world.

There are fortifications and barracks on the island, but no one comes out to welcome the new company commander. This is strange, and not surprising. On an isolated island far away from the mainland, everything is possible. Fu Ping'an heard of the glorious deeds of stationing in the isolated island when he was in the recruit company. Just reading the reports was shocking enough. It was just official propaganda. A story was circulated by the recruits in private. A soldier was mentally ill on the island. A good person went to the island and turned into a madman. It can be seen that the terror is the most terrifying thing on the island is not the storm, not the lack of fresh water, but loneliness.

It's strange that after they got ashore, the wind speed dropped significantly, and auditory hallucinations came again. This time, Captain Huang also heard it. He stopped and looked up. Fu Ping'an looked at him with his eyes. There was a figure on the mountain on the east side of the island, singing in the wind.

"I'm not afraid of being blown away by the wind." Corps Huang said that the wind on the sea and the wind on the continent are completely different concepts. It can really blow people weighing more than 100 pounds away. Don't ramble when facing the wind, you can't even speak. Your whole face is deformed by the wind, and you're still singing.

To be precise, the man sang with the wind on his back. Only when the wind brought the song over, they could hear it. He sang bel canto, Pavarotti's "o     sole     mio".

There are all weird people on this island.

374 Island is a small island in the shape of water droplets. It is narrow and long from east to west. The widest is the Shitou Mountain in the east. It is 600 meters wide from north to south, with an altitude of 374 meters and more than 1,500 meters from east to west, with an area of ​​less than one square kilometer. The pier is in the west of the leeward. After getting ashore, you can see a row of flat-topped houses at the foot of the mountain, which is their barracks. There is a piece of cement floor in front of the bungalow, and there is nothing on the flagpole at this moment.

The two newcomers walked to the barracks and pushed open a door. There was no one in the room. Another door was opened. This was the dormitory, with several beds in the room. The two were lying on the bed and bored. Although they saw the new company commander arrive, no one stood up to salute.

A soldier who was reading a book did not raise his head and said, "Close the door."

Fu Ping'an noticed that he was not serious about his cover, and his cover was fancy, and he would definitely be confiscated when he saw it in the courtyard by the squad leader.

Huang Yaowu seemed to have expected this situation, put down his backpack, closed the door, took out a cigarette and smiled: "Hello, brothers, my name is Huang Yaowu, this brother is Fu Ping'an, we are all new to you..."

The soldier who read Huang Shu looked up and said, "Where is the supplies?"

Huang Yaowu said: "The supply ship is gone, and I will come to give it to the supplies next time. You also know that the wind and waves are too big."

Bing said: "If you don't have supplies, you can pull a few handfuls of eggs for me. Two more people will not be enough for food."

Huang Yaowu's smile froze. He wanted to be approachable and was unwilling to suppress his military rank and position, but these slingers were too much.

Fu Ping'an couldn't help it anymore, and he shouted sternly: "Standing at attention!"

The two soldiers probably had enough of their power, so they stood up lazyly, stood up with indifferent expressions, and saluted randomly.

Huang Yaowu returned the gift and smiled again: "You can introduce yourself too."

The soldiers looked at the rank of captain on his shoulders and gave him some face. The soldiers who read Huang Shu said, "My name is Gao Xiaobo, a third-level non-commissioned officer."

Another soldier said: "My name is Zhu Mengjun, a first-class non-commissioned officer."

Huang Yaowu said: "There is another great god, the one who sings on the mountain."

Gao Xiaobo said: "That's Pershing, our marshal, the god of song. Don't worry about him. If you have enough waves, you will come down."

Fu Ping'an was stunned. Isn't it the garrison of the same company? Why are there only three birds, plus he and the company commander, only five people!

Gao Xiaobo is an eleven-year veteran. He was responsible when his superiors were not around. He took the key and brought the new company commander to check the arsenal. If there were soldiers, there must be weapons. The 374 Island was first under the control of the navy. At that time, four 130 cannons were equipped, and they had been withdrawn long ago. There were only four rusty Bayi Bars in the cabinet. The island was wet, and the sea breeze was covered with salt. If the gun was not maintained frequently, it would easily rust. There were two 54 pistols. This was all the weapons and equipment.

There is no lighthouse or radar station on the island, and the dock can only be docked by small boats. It is worthless in military terms. Fu Ping'an cannot imagine what the "important strategic value" that Captain Huang mentioned is. Under modern war conditions, a bomb flattened the island. What is the purpose of garrisoning a few soldiers?

After seeing the conduct of these soldiers, he understood that this was not the island of the garrison, but it was clearly a large confinement room, allowing these people to fend for themselves.
