Chapter 1293 The Japanese ship went off course!
Chapter 1293 The Japanese ship went off course!
The sea stretches out to the horizon in the darkness of night.
The moon hung in the sky, making the sea surface shimmer.
A fishing boat is sailing at a steady speed along a pre-planned route.
But inside the fishing boat, apart from two or three fellow villagers, the other dozen or so were all robust men with short, crew-cut hair.
"Captain, you've worked hard."
Jiang Kunpeng offered a cigarette to the boat captain.
The boat captain didn't stand on ceremony; he took the cigarette, lit it, and took a puff.
"We're not having a hard time, it's you guys who are..."
The boatman sighed, shook his head, and didn't continue.
This whole affair has caused quite a stir lately, making fishermen who make a living by fishing afraid to go to places that are even a little far away.
Several of his friends spontaneously organized a patriotic action, but as a result, they and their boat were detained near the island.
At this moment, a group of men with short haircuts approached him, saying they wanted to take a fishing boat there.
How could the boat captain not guess who these people really were?
How could I not know what these young people were going there to do?
Jiang Kunpeng didn't elaborate, but said in his still slow-paced tone, "We're just a bunch of anglers. We heard there are a lot of fish over there, so we wanted to go to the island to fish. That's all."
"I understand, I understand, like Jiang Taigong fishing, those who are willing will take the bait."
The boat captain took a drag of his cigarette, but still looked somewhat melancholy: "But with so few people, I'm really worried you'll get hurt. You don't know, that area is now full of Japanese ships."
Jiang Kunpeng smiled and said, "We're just going fishing. No matter how strict they are, they won't touch us. You can moor the boat nearby later, and we'll go into the water ourselves."
The captain exclaimed in surprise, "There are occasional ocean currents over there; you might get swept away by the sea."
"No, we are all excellent swimmers."
Zhang Hui walked up from behind and said with a smile.
The captain guessed that they must be sailors, otherwise they wouldn't have been so confident.
Come to think of it, with such a big commotion, how could the authorities not have intervened?
The news broadcasts these days are full of condemnations and protests; how could it all just be empty talk?
Having sailed a boat my whole life, I'm no fool at this age; I can see things quite clearly.
He wasn't worried about himself, since he didn't need to go to the island and there was no real danger; at most, he would be driven away.
But once these young men get to the island, whether they can come back is another matter entirely...
Jiang Kunpeng didn't say anything more, but instead pulled Zhang Hui back into the cabin.
Inside the cabin were Liu Bang, Lu Bing, Qing Tian, and other former members of the Beast Camp.
The reason it was called the Original-Beast Battalion is because they underwent an upgrade and transformation after the Charles Scout Competition.
A new amphibious reconnaissance team was formed, named the Dragon Shark Squadron, and Jiang Kunpeng is currently the captain of this squadron.
All of this was made possible by the experience of Qin Feng leading the team and exchanging ideas and learning with everyone in a friendly manner.
This also allowed these naval amphibious reconnaissance soldiers to learn a lot of land combat skills, thus achieving a breakthrough in their strength and combat effectiveness.
After closing the door, Zhang Hui rubbed his head and said with emotion, "Damn it, he's still the boss. He already knows who we are, but he didn't say anything. He even told us to be careful and said he'd take us back after circling around a couple of times."
Lu Bing: "Our fishermen are very hardworking and honest. Especially after guessing the purpose of our trip, they will definitely be willing to lend a helping hand."
"However, it's best not to take them into the water. It's better to put them in the water from a distance."
"Anyway, we brought an underwater booster and had enough oxygen tanks."
Lu Bing's words were unanimously agreed upon by everyone.
Their mission was a secret one, so everything had to be done for safety reasons.
The reason for borrowing the fishing boat is because that incident has been escalating recently.
Many patriotic fishermen and island defenders spontaneously organized to go there, which gave them the opportunity to infiltrate the area.
Thus, they could seize the opportunity to sneak in from the sea, land on the island, and complete their combat mission.
"But there's something I don't understand."
Looking at her coarse cloth clothes, female soldier Qingtian was somewhat puzzled: "Taigong Island has been part of us since ancient times. It is recorded in various documents and books, and it is even marked on maps of many Western countries."
"But why do we have to be so timid and hesitant when we go to our own territory? Can't we just be more open and assertive?"
"Even we Dragon Shark Squadron members have to disguise ourselves and infiltrate secretly?"
This is a question that many people have in mind.
In their view, our family is becoming increasingly powerful and strong.
Defending our homeland is definitely not a problem; we have the strength to confront any enemy that comes.
But why is it that such a small island can cause such a big fuss?
Moreover, this island is under the jurisdiction of Pineapple. If even the problem of Taigong Island cannot be solved, wouldn't the problem of Pineapple be even more troublesome?
Liu Bang, eating a compressed biscuit, said, "It's normal not to understand. This is a very complex issue, not something that can be explained in a few words. We are soldiers; our job is to obey orders and resolutely complete our missions..."
The others also fell silent, turning their gazes toward Jiang Kunpeng.
Jiang Kunpeng, as the captain of the Dragon Shark Squadron, shrugged and didn't say much on the topic.
Because these things are too complex and too large for them, and are beyond their ability to consider in their position.
At the very least, one must become a general before one can discuss and explore such "major matters".
Jiang Kunpeng reiterated the mission details: "Once we get close, we will land on the island from these three sides, then find a way to deal with the extremists on the island and rescue the detained fishermen and fishing boats."
"Remember, our primary task is rescue, not combat. Of course, if we are discovered by the enemy, we must still fire."
After saying that, he took out an M1911 pistol from his pocket. The weapons that everyone else was assigned were all foreign military equipment.
But the vast majority of them were pistols and shotguns; there wasn't even a single assault rifle.
The reason for doing this is simple: to control the intensity of the conflict and prevent the opponent from finding any leverage against them.
Currently, our military and economic situation is just at the point where we can eat at the table; we are far from being able to overturn the table.
If things are handled improperly and cause bad consequences, the loss of losing one's job would be far too great and simply unbearable.
Therefore, comprehensive development and building a strong military and a strong nation will inevitably be a long and arduous journey; only when the country is strong will it be much easier to deal with these issues in the future.
Just as everyone was discussing who would be paired with whom, the captain suddenly rushed out of the bridge in a great hurry.
"Something's wrong! There's a Japanese patrol boat heading our way!"
"what?"
Jiang Kunpeng and the others' expressions changed instantly.
We haven't even gotten close to that area of water yet, so how did we encounter a Japanese patrol boat?
In an instant, they realized that these bastards had crossed the border and were patrolling on our territory!
