Riverside police

At 5:31 a.m., Han Yu and Political Commissar Chen arrived safely at Lusi Port on a coast patrol boat.

When we first set off from Changxing Island, the sea was not very rough, but after sailing for more than half an hour, the sea became more and more windy and rough due to the influence of the tide.

Political Commissar Chen couldn't bear the seasickness and vomited all the crabs he had eaten. He was extremely uncomfortable.

The coast patrol boat docked at a fishing boat anchored in the harbor, and Han Yu quickly asked a staff officer from the military division to help Political Commissar Chen ashore to rest.

The harbor was brightly lit, and the armed ministers from the four coastal districts and counties were here. They were busy organizing the captains and crew members of the fishing boats to clean the decks. After all, the next task to be carried out was to transport soldiers. The officers and soldiers could not do anything if they did not clean up. stay.

The headquarters is located in the office of the Fishery Administration and Fishing Port Supervision Station at the pier. Han Yu walked into the headquarters under the leadership of a political officer from the military division and met the "detachment political commissar" who had also stayed up all night - the militia leader from Sigang. Li Mingsheng.

Li Mingsheng is forty-seven years old, short and thin, wearing a camouflage uniform, militia epaulettes and collar. At first glance, he really thought he was an officer from some township.

He was so busy that he frequently used the walkie-talkie to contact the bosses of each fishing boat.

It is worth mentioning that no one here calls him Political Commissar Li, and no one calls him Commander Li. Everyone calls him Township Chief Li.

Director Zhang from the Fisheries Radio Station of the Binjiang Marine Fisheries Bureau is also here, and he has brought a radio with him. Together with the radio operator, he is using the radio to contact the returning fishing boats.

The temporary commander-in-chief is Chief of Staff Qian of the military division. As soon as Chief of Staff Qian saw Han Yu, he said eagerly: "Xianyu, you are finally here. This is the temporary political commissar of our Binjiang Militia Reserve Detachment and the commander of the Binjiang Militia Transport Brigade." Captain Comrade Li Mingsheng, you are familiar with Staff Officer Zhang of the East China Sea Base, so I don’t need to introduce him.”

Only then did Han Yu notice that someone from the Navy was also here, and it was Staff Officer Zhang from the East China Sea Base Command.

When the establishment ceremony of the rescue boat brigade was held, Staff Officer Zhang went to Binjiang with the head of the East China Sea Base.

Since the Navy Reserve Force is different from the Army Reserve Force, the relationship between superiors and subordinates has not been straightened out to this day. Although Staff Officer Zhang is not officially responsible for contacting the rescue ship brigade, he is actually responsible for the contact work.

"Secretary Han, we meet again." Staff Zhang knew very well how tough Han Yu's background was, so he quickly came over and saluted.

On the way to report to Lusigang, Li Mingsheng received a call from Lao Lu, Party Secretary of Laoliangzhuang Township and now deputy investigator of the County People's Government. He knew that Han Yu was half a fellow villager, but he didn't expect Han Yu to be so young.

He was stunned, then came up to him and said with a smile: "Secretary Han, Secretary Lu called me yesterday afternoon and said you were our Sigang's son-in-law."

"Hello everyone, I'm late."

"It's not too late. We only arrived yesterday afternoon."

Chief of Staff Qian knew that time was urgent. After the three people finished their greetings, he said straight to the point: "Chief Li, Xianyu has just arrived and doesn't understand the situation. Please introduce it first."

"Okay." Li Mingsheng picked up a handwritten document, handed it over and said with a smile: "Secretary Han, we have mobilized a total of 55 fishing boats, 48 ​​of which are now in place, and the remaining 7 are on their way back. According to their current Based on the position and speed, the assembly can be completed by 9 a.m. at the latest.”

"Where are the personnel?" Han Yu asked, looking at the materials.

"Considering that the next task is to transport troops, not to go fishing, each boat does not need so many people. I asked the chief of staff last night that each fishing boat needs five militiamen including the boss. .”

"The additional 5 militiamen will also be mobilized to participate in the operation. Each ship has 5 militiamen. Our transport fleet alone has 275 people."

"If the five additional fishing boats also participate in the operation, there will be more than 200 participating militiamen in our militia transport brigade."

"Is there any grouping?"

"It's organized, one squadron for each district and county, a total of four squadrons."

He is not only a professional coastal defense militia leader, but also a township head with rich experience in grassroots work. He has organized maritime militia to participate in military operations more than once before, but the scale of the previous operations was not as large as this one.

With Li Mingsheng here, Han Yu didn't have to worry about the organization, management and logistical support of the militia transport brigade. He simply turned around and asked, "Advisor Zhang, has the superior made it clear which unit our Binjiang militia reserve troops will cooperate with and which superior will be commanded?"

"It's clear, it's clear at half past two in the morning."

Staff Officer Zhang opened his briefcase and took out a document: "The superior ordered the Binjiang Militia Transport Brigade to cooperate with the operations of the Third Transportation Detachment of our East China Sea Fleet and accept the command of the Third Transportation Detachment. The Linghai Reserve Battalion Water Search and Rescue Company cooperated with the East China Sea Base Landing Craft Brigade and accepted the command of the Landing Craft Brigade. command.

In order to facilitate command, the Binjiang Naval Reserve Rescue Ship Group operates together with the militia transportation group, and together with the militia transportation group, they are under the command of the third fleet transportation detachment. I will serve as the liaison officer and I will be with you throughout the operation. "

Han Yu looked at the order document and asked: "When will we set sail and when will we take action?"

"We have one day to prepare. Our superiors ordered the field regiment responsible for transportation to board the ship at Lusi Port on time at 9 o'clock tonight. The regiment has received the order, and the vanguard will arrive here at 12 noon today."

"We are responsible for transporting a group!"

"It is said to be a regiment, but in fact there are only 1,200 commanders and fighters participating in the landing exercise. I went to the fishing boat to see it and also studied it with Mayor Li. It should be possible to sit down if it is crowded."

"Where are the weapons and equipment?"

"They are all individual equipment, all light weapons, no heavy equipment."

"It's all small arms!"

"Heavy equipment is transported by ro-ro ships and car-passenger ferries, mainly concentrated in the East China Sea and Zhejiang Sea." Staff Zhang hesitated and added: "And... and regardless of the navy or the army, heavy equipment that can be used for sea crossing and landing operations There’s not a lot of equipment.”

No matter what era it is, we still have to gather so many civilian ships and we still have to carry out "all boats".

Chief of Staff Qian of the military division sighed secretly and said solemnly: "The only heavy equipment that can truly carry out the first batch of beach landing missions should be amphibious tanks and amphibious infantry fighting vehicles. As far as I know, amphibious equipment There are not many troops using tanks and amphibious combat vehicles."

Han Yu didn't think as much as the chief of staff. He only thought about how to complete the task. He frowned and said, "What will 1,200 people eat and drink at sea? How to solve the logistics supply?"

Staff Officer Zhang quickly said: "The large troops boarding the ship tonight does not mean that the transport group will set sail tonight. The superiors will definitely calculate the voyage and time. In other words, the army troops participating in the operation will not be at sea for too long. Logistics The supply pressure is not very big.”

Calculate the time and send the troops to the exercise sea area.

When you get to the designated location, you can use landing craft to transport people to the beach if conditions permit, or use the tide to directly drive fishing boats to the beach. If conditions are not available, you can directly let people go into the sea and swim armed...

But it was not just Binjiang's transportation regiment that participated in the landing exercise. Political Commissar Chen said on the coast patrol boat that tens of thousands of troops participated in the military exercise.

The beach to land on is only that long, and the sea is densely populated with fishing boats, cargo ships, and warships. It is impossible to let people land as soon as they arrive there. In other words, it is difficult to control the time on the ship, and you may have to wait for a whole day.

More importantly, this time is not just a military exercise.

The Taiwanese independence forces are on the rise. If those bastards who have forgotten their ancestors are still obsessed with it, and if China is determined to solve the problem, the participating troops will point their swords at the island of Taiwan. How can we get people to engage in actual combat if the logistics support cannot keep up?

Thinking of this, Han Yu pondered and said: "The fish warehouse of the high-powered fishing boat cannot accommodate people. After the army brothers boarded the ship, they could only crowd in the crew cabin and deck. We can completely make use of the fish warehouse and fill it with more fresh water and dry food."

Everyone knows that it is better to bring more logistical support materials.

The problem is that fresh water is easy to solve, but what about dry food?

Chief of Staff Qian reminded: "Xianyu, our superiors only ask us to be responsible for the logistical supplies during sea transportation. Our conditions are limited. We don't have that much dry food, and even if we do, we don't have that much shipping."

"Don't the active-duty troops have compressed biscuits and various cans? Staff Zhang, can you contact the leaders of the field regiment and ask them if they can bring more food."

"Okay, let me ask."

…

If you are not in your position, you will not seek your government.

Who knows if your superiors will be unhappy if you talk too much. After all, in such a large-scale military operation, it is not your turn as a reserve officer to dictate. The only thing you can do is to resolutely carry out the mission.

Han Yu didn't want to say too much. Seeing that he had nothing to do here, he exchanged a few words with Li Mingsheng and Staff Zhang, then went out to find out where there were cold storages and foam boxes on the dock.

With the help of friends from the fishery department, I found some ice and two large foam boxes, put the alive crabs in them, packed them with tape, and asked the driver back to the military division to take them home.

At 6:30 p.m., Han Xiangning came home from get off work and saw Xiao Hanhan playing with crabs in the living room.

"Mom, how much does this sea crab cost per pound?"

"It didn't cost any money. San'er asked someone to bring it back."

Director Xiang was busy in the kitchen. After thinking about it, he turned around and said with regret: "San'er's trustee brought back two large boxes, estimated to weigh twenty kilograms. Unfortunately, most of them are dead and only six are alive."

Han Xiangning asked with a smile: "Can't we eat the dead?"

"I'm looking at it. Some are edible and some are not. The live ones will be steamed in a pot later, and the dead ones will be stir-fried with onions and ginger later."

"Hanhan, stop playing. If you play again, even this one will be killed by you."

"Don't eat it, I want to raise crabs."

"This is a sea crab, you can't keep it alive!" Han Xiangning was not going to spoil her daughter. She squatted down and carefully grabbed the swimming crab, got up and took it into the kitchen.

She was thinking about when San'er became so extravagant and was willing to spend money to buy crabs. Director Xiang cut the crabs that would be fried later and said with a smile: "The driver of the military division said these crabs are San'er." I was fishing at sea, but I didn’t expect crabs to be so easy to catch, and he caught so many in one go.”

"I thought he bought it."

"You gave him fifty yuan when he went to Qingdao. How could he have the money to buy so many crabs?"

"I originally wanted to give more, but I only had fifty yuan with me at the time." Han Xiangning did not think that the junior was aggrieved, and immediately changed the topic: "How did he meet the driver of the military division? Did he say anything? Time to come back?"

"Didn't your dad say that he has a new mission and may have to wait a month before he comes back?"

Director Xiang is a retired cadre with high political consciousness and a strong sense of confidentiality. He smiled and added: "As for where he met the driver of the military division, I didn't ask. I shouldn't ask blindly, and I shouldn't pry. Don’t pry blindly.”

The situation in the Taiwan Strait was very tense during this period.

Han Xiangning didn't know anything else, except that it was not as easy for the crew of a foreign ship to land at the port as it was not as easy as before, and the border inspection station was very strict.

She was silent for a moment and then asked: "Where is my dad?"

"It should be in Langshan, he and Ge Tiao are together."

"Even if there is an urgent mission, he will just join in the fun."

"Director Feng is back."

"Director Feng is back. When did he come back? Why didn't I know?"

"It's been two days since he came back. Director Zheng arranged for someone to clean the small building where he lived before, but he didn't go to the dormitory after he came back."

"Is Aunt Yao here?"

"No, Director Zheng said Director Feng came back alone this time."

What are the rescue boat brigade and Linghai Reserve Battalion doing? Are they really going to regain Taiwan this time?

Han Xiangning suddenly felt worried when he thought that his junior student had received the anti-smuggling boat but failed to drive the anti-smuggling boat back to Binjiang as planned. Of course it would be good to recover Taiwan, but to recover Taiwan there will be a war. My junior is at sea, so there will definitely be danger if there is a war...
