Huang Yaowu did not respond immediately. He was not a young man like Fu Ping'an who had just turned 20, but a bad guy who was over thirty years old and had been imprisoned in his thirties. He had a family, a family, a young man, and knew that life was difficult and the difficulties of life. God would sometimes favor you, but he would not be arrogant. Five infantrymen from the second-line troops killed two US special forces and seized a diving vehicle. This was a great achievement and was still greedy, God would probably have no patience.

But this cannot be said to the subordinates. Corps Huang was preparing words. Zhu Mengjun said: "How to greet him? Do you use your Bayi Bar? Rifle bullets are not enough to tickle the submarine, or do you want to use grenades to blow up the submarine like fish? Wake up, thank God for our survival until now."

Gao Xiaobo also said: "Stop when it's good, we don't have any weapons against the sea."

Although the army is not a place where democracy is concerned, and the orders of superiors must be absolutely implemented, Huang Yaowu did not want to act arbitrarily at this time. He looked at Pan Xing: "Old Pan's opinion?"

"I think we should focus on guarding," said Pershing.

Zhu Mengjun said: "That's right."

Pershing immediately said: "The best defense is attack."

Now the offensive and defensive sides are two to two, and it depends on the company commander's opinion. Huang Yaowu said: "First connect the optical cable, we can't fight alone. Lao Pan, how confident are you?"

Pan Xing said: "I can't say anything to death. It depends on where the interruption is. The process of connecting optical cables is complicated, and it requires special tools and consumables. It still takes time. I have to look at it first."

At the beginning of the operation, they had to make full use of the seized trophy, diving suit and water downloader transporter. God knows what the official name of this thing is, but in fact the design is very simple. It is something like a fish, powered by electricity, with propeller propellers at the tail, and frogman riding on torpedoes to perform short underwater maneuvers, which is much faster than diving.

Fu Ping'an and Persing put on diving suits and gas cylinders on their backs. They became familiar with the equipment and brought weapons. There were only two daggers that could be used underwater, which was better than nothing. After some were ready, the two set off in groups.

Before leaving, Pan Xing and the company commander made an appointment. If they walked under the water when they came back, they would spit out two strings of bubbles first. If they walked up there, the command was Bayi and the command was Nanchang.

The submarine optical cable is laid by the Navy's special engineering ship and is buried in the shallow layer of the seabed. It is even more troublesome if there is a failure in normal times. Because I don't know where the failure is, the long seabed requires inspections. Now it is man-made damage, but it is easy to find. Pershing rode on the "torpedo", controls the direction, and looks for the place where the optical cable goes ashore.

The breakpoint was quickly found. It was blown off at the bottom of the sea near the shore. The fracture was messy and you could see layers of protective covers. The structure of the submarine optical cable was very complex. From the outermost layer to the core optical fiber bundle, there were seven layers of protection, including polyethylene layer, steel stranded wire layer, aluminum waterproof layer, polycarbonate layer, copper tube, paraffin, and alkane layer. It was not easy to cut it with a knife, and it had to be fried.

There was no conversation underwater, so Pan Xing shook his head and said it could not be repaired. Fu Ping'an felt anxious and suddenly a cold came out. He pointed at himself, raised his thumbs up, and said I'll do it.

Pershing pointed to the water surface, and the two floated up, exposing their heads out of the water and lifting their masks to talk.

"You can't handle it," said Pershing.

"We don't want to talk. Just connect and show that there is a loop on the optical cable on Station 1. Is this OK?" Fu Ping'an proposed his own idea.

Pan Xing was very clear at a glance and praised: "Fu Ping'an, you are so sissy!"

Optical fibers convey more information than cables and are more delicate. Amateurs repairing optical cables at the seabed during wartime is equivalent to a fantasy. Fu Ping'an means to create a loop, breaking means 0, and passing means 1. Use binary to transmit information, but there are too few messages that can be transmitted in binary, and a single sentence may not be enough to send a sentence for a year.

"Your idea is good, but it's too slow," said Pershing.

"I mean, one second is the point, and three seconds is the long. Let's send Morse code." Fu Ping'an looked regretful because Staff Pan did not fully understand his meaning.

"I'm confused and forgot the Morse code. Good idea, wait for me to get the equipment." Pershing turned the torpedo and headed towards the dock. The two of them boarded the dock, observed the safety, and then covered each other and rushed towards the barracks. Pershing took apart the communication machine, took a few parts, and carefully installed them. The two returned to the dock, went into the water again, and arrived at the location where the optical cable was interrupted.

"If you stuck this cold joint on the optical fiber, the laser pulse emitted by No. 1 will be reflected back to form an echo path. Do you understand?" Pan Xing handed the parts to Fu Ping'an, "You go into the water and I will cover you later."

Fu Ping'an nodded, dived underwater, connected the optical fiber according to the method stated by the confidential staff. After stopping for a while, he sent the Sos Morse code at three:3, long:3, and three:3.

He was repeating his movements underwater. Somehow, his thoughts went back to those lonely nights in 2008, when he spoke to each other with the girls in Building 6. Gu Qinghua, are you okay in Beijing? Do you know that the classmates in Building 5 are fighting to defend their country thousands of miles away?

14:45   Dongshan Governing Area Station No. 1

The communication company has entered a state of combat readiness, and all staff have stopped taking leave. All personnel are sitting in front of the workstation. The computer screen in front of Private Liu Xiaona shows the optical cable communication status with Island 374. Her task is to stare at the screen and pay attention to the slightest changes.

Liu Xiaona guessed that something happened on the 374 island, but she didn't know what was going on, so she could only pray that Fu Ping'an wouldn't have any trouble. Perhaps her prayer played a role, and the optical fiber was instantly connected on the screen!

"Plane leader, there is something wrong!" Liu Xiaona shouted loudly, and Luo Jin rushed over quickly and stood behind Liu Xiaona staring at the screen.

Communication connection is successful... Communication interrupt... Communication connection is successful... Communication interrupt... Communication interrupt...

"What does it mean? Are they doing the repairs themselves?" Luo Jin was confused, but he still reported to his superiors immediately.

"Platform leader, they seem to be passing information." Liu Xiaona said.

Luo Jin came over and stared at the screen again, observing the rules of interruption and connection. There was indeed a regularity. After three brief connections, there were three long-term connections, and then three short-term connections.

"Sos!" Luo Jin and Liu Xiaona said in unison.

Luo Jin rushed to the phone and shouted to Hu Dapeng who was guarding the duty room: "374 Island sends a distress signal!"

Hu Dapeng quickly came to Station No. 1, and after understanding the situation, he asked Liu Xiaona to try to send a message, but this action was meaningless, and the other party kept sending distress signals.

Luo Jin said: "They can only send one-way, not receive it. The optical fiber is broken and the communication machine may also be broken. They can only use this most primitive method to send a report. Staff Hu, there must be an enemy situation on the island."

Hu Dapeng looked at the heavy rain outside and felt heavy. As expected, there was an enemy situation, but it took time to coordinate the dispatch of the Air Force. In such bad weather, whether the Air Force can dispatch it is a problem. Even if it is dispatched, the fixed-wing aircraft will not be able to see anything in the air.

At this time, a military-green four-engine turboprop transport plane landed on the field airport of Weizigou Military Camp. Four off-road vehicles chased the plane and chased until the end of the runway. Yunba stopped and the cabin door opened. The first soldier who walked out had gray temples and two golden stars shining on his shoulders.

The commander of the East Island Guard Area, Lei Bida, got off the off-road vehicle and stood attentively saluted. A staff officer held an umbrella and wanted to help the lieutenant general block the rain. He was blocked outside by a colonel behind the lieutenant general. Several people came out of the cabin, all of whom were members of the staff team of Lieutenant General Luo Kegong, deputy commander of the military region.

Luo Kegong hurriedly placed his right hand on his forehead and returned the gift, and got into the off-road vehicle: "Lao Lei, said in the car."

Lei Bida and the staff got into the car, and the car drove the road and sounded an alarm, turned on the red and blue flashes, and drove all the way to the east island city.

In the car, Lei Bida reported to Deputy Commander Luo what he knew. As he was speaking, the radio was ringing. It was the latest information sent by the headquarters. Island 374 used broken steel cables to send a distress signal.

Luo Kegong said: "I was still in Beijing at noon. The Central Meteorological Observatory reported a situation where there was an explosion at the sea, just on your 374 Island. According to the information department, the US military's ultra-long wave has a large number of long-wave signals, and there are also encrypted signals suspected to be launched by US submarines near 374 Island. We cannot decipher for the time being."

Anyone who knows a little radio knows that electromagnetic waves are severely attenuated in seawater. Ordinary short-wave communication cannot be used for submarines. Long-wave and ultra-long-wave radio stations must be used for construction and maintenance. The optical antenna array is hundreds of kilometers long, and optical copper buried underground consumes more than 100,000 tons. The electricity consumed when opening is comparable to the power generation of a small city. Long-wave communication is often used for communication between submarines, ships and bases, but submarines can only passively receive them, and the transmission of signals still depends on conventional radio stations. There are encrypted signals around the 374 island frequently, indicating that the nuclear submarine of a certain country is there.

Rabida frowned: "Why is 374?"

Luo Kegong said: "I also want to know this question. To the east of 374, there is an underwater passage that is the only way for our navy strategic nuclear submarines. Americans often conduct hydrological detection here, putting some sonar buoys, etc., but our submarines are currently a distance from 374. This island itself has no strategic value. It is logical that it should have been removed from defense long ago. How many garrisons are there on the island now?"

"There is a company in one company, but there are actually only five people, two cadres, company commander and confidential staff, and three soldiers."

Luo Kegong said: "Maybe it was the thing that these five soldiers under your command did."

Lei Bida became angry. These soldiers were restless and alarmed the deputy commander.

Luo Kegong said: "The satellite also detected that a Ticonderoga cruiser stationed in Zhenhai Base in Gyeongsang-do, South Korea suddenly moved out. The direction was the Yellow Sea. Your soldiers are of good level, which alarmed the Aegis cruiser."

Lei Bida didn't know what to say, he couldn't hear whether the deputy commander was happy, angry or mocking, so he could only say to the driver: "Slow down, steadily."

It was raining heavily outside the car window, and the wipers were able to see the road conditions clearly when they were turned on to the fastest. Social vehicles had already parked on the side of the road with double flashes, and only this team of military vehicles did not reduce their speed and whistled by.

"Lao Lei, the temporary front line command is set up on your territory, let them prepare." Luo Kegong looked at the heavy rain for a while and suddenly said.

Lei Bida asked the staff to inform him, and the East Island Gage Area suddenly entered a first-level combat readiness state. The personnel were allowed to enter and not exit. The police fired live ammunition and went to double posts. All personnel turned off their mobile phones and were strictly prohibited from contacting the outside world. The combat command hall, which had not been used for a long time, also opened the door. The communication company and the staff from the combat office entered the command hall. When the deputy commander of the military region arrived, the command hall was ready.

Luo Kegong strode into the command hall and asked, "What's going on ahead!"

"Report to the deputy commander, the distress signal sent by the optical cable stopped fifteen minutes ago." Hu Dapeng reported loudly.

"Open the satellite cloud map." With Luo Kegong's order, the satellite cloud map of the Yellow Sea area appeared on the large screen, and the wind eye had shifted. Island 374 is in a storm, with wind power as high as level 14.

"This wind force makes it impossible for people to move outdoors, let alone at sea." Luo Kegong murmured to himself.
