Chapter 1083 Sea Breeze Island

After a short while, Qin Tian spoke.

“I know that all of you were top performers in your previous units. But from this moment on, you need to forget everything from before.”

"Regardless of your unit, rank, awards, or other past honors, you only need to remember that you belong to the nation's elite squadron, and that's enough."

After a pause, Qin Tian asked, "Do you understand?"

"clear."

The voices of the twenty-seven people were perfectly synchronized, as loud as bells, demonstrating their remarkable penetrating power.

Ten minutes later, the team had breakfast and boarded the helicopter.

The helicopter flew south for more than ten hours before finally arriving at the westernmost artificial island of XSQD – Sea Breeze Island.

Haifeng Island is located in the western Pacific Ocean, within the area of ​​one of my country's three marginal seas.

The sea area within the nine-dash line is my country's territorial waters, with a natural sea area of ​​approximately 350 million square kilometers. my country's total territorial waters area is approximately 210 million square kilometers.

Besides artificial islands, the islands here also include the Dongsha Islands, XSQD, Zhongsha Islands, and NSQD, possessing abundant marine oil and gas resources, marine energy resources, and port and shipping resources. This area is undoubtedly an inseparable part of my country. Historically, in the 1970s, many countries with ulterior motives occupied my country's islands and reefs, seriously infringing upon my country's maritime rights.

It's impossible for China to start a war at sea. After all, with my country's rise, those few small countries combined are not enough to deal with my country.

The reason these small countries are so arrogant is naturally because they have a powerful country backing them up.

A certain major power has imposed a military blockade on our country, which can be described as a persistent attempt to destroy us.

Qin Tian brought the National Sharp Blade Squadron to the Weinan Military Base this time to intimidate all the seas and make those countries with ill intentions tremble in fear.

Sea Breeze Island is separated from the outside world by only a narrow strait. This artificial island covers an area of ​​nearly 10 square kilometers and is the largest artificial island in XSQD. The Weinan Military Base occupies 80% of the island's area.

More than thirty years ago, backed by powerful nations, a small country took hostile actions against my country. my country swiftly launched a counterattack, dispatching border troops who quickly occupied more than twenty important towns in the northern part of the country. However, considering the international situation, the Chinese military decided to withdraw from the country after only half a month. Ironically, this small country shamelessly declared victory in the war.

Currently, nearly thirty islands and reefs in XSQD remain under the control of this small nation. The sole objective of the South Nibong military base is to reclaim these islands and reefs. Despite the support of a superpower, this small nation maintains a hardline and unreasonable stance on the issue of island ownership.

As the sun set, its afterglow bathed Haifeng Island, and the once deserted Weinan military base came alive with the landing of an armed helicopter. After dinner, the two squads of the National Sharp Blade Squadron began their physical training. Haifeng Island is located at the westernmost tip of XSQD and is also the closest island to this small country, so the troops stationed there dared not relax for a moment.

Shortly afterward, the coastal defense forces of the Weinan military base were stationed on Haifeng Island. The Cape Fleet, belonging to the East Sea Fleet, has more than 300 ships, including destroyers, frigates, and submarines, forming a powerful naval force.

The Nation's Blade Squadron has twenty members from the Navy. The Cape Fleet also brought an attack submarine and a frigate to the Nation's Blade Marine Operations Team for their training and combat use.

The captain of the Cape Fleet was a colonel, one rank below Major General Qin Tian. Therefore, in a sense, the Cape Fleet also provided protection for the National Sharp Blade Squadron. This colonel treated Qin Tian with considerable respect.

When Colonel Yu Hao, the fleet commander, met Qin Tian, ​​he immediately showed great respect: "The construction of the base on Haifeng Island will require the guidance of Rear Admiral Qin Tian."

"No need for guidance. We are all in charge of the Weinan military base. We can discuss any issues together," Qin Tian replied calmly.

When Yu Hao saw Wu Xuyang behind Qin Tian, ​​he was deeply shocked. Although he was a few years older than Wu Xuyang, Wu Xuyang had been his superior for the past few years. It was rumored that Wu Xuyang was one of the most promising young men in the East China Sea Fleet. Several years ago, Wu Xuyang suddenly received orders to leave the Cape Fleet and disappeared without a trace. Unexpectedly, a few years later, he had become Qin Tian's subordinate.

The officers behind Yu Hao were also very excited. It turned out that this was Major General Qin Tian, ​​who was renowned in the Southeast Military Region. They did not expect him to be promoted to the rank of Major General so quickly.

Both the Cape Fleet and the National Sharp Blade Squadron are stationed at this military base, conducting their own training without interfering with each other. Fleet Commander Yu Hao has repeatedly invited Wu Xuyang to guide the fleet's training, but Wu Xuyang always politely declines, citing training as the reason, without even consulting Qin Tian's opinion.

As for the ranks, certificates of conferment, and certificates of honor of the seven members of the former National Blade Squad, Qin Tian had already packed them up and sent them to their families before coming to our country's waters.

The Nation's Sharp Blade Squadron is divided into a land operations team and a sea operations team. Wu Xuyang serves as the captain of the sea operations team. For the past week, he has been training the entire team according to the training methods of the Sea Dragon Special Forces, and Qin Tian is satisfied with this.

A week later, at dusk, Qin Tian finished his Sky Eye reconnaissance and walked out of the camp when his military communication device suddenly vibrated. Wu Xuyang's calm voice came through: "Reporting to the captain, an enemy ship has been spotted at nine o'clock on the western side of Haifeng Island, about twenty nautical miles away. Requesting instructions."

"Perfect timing." Qin Tian murmured, then vanished in a flash. Due to the lack of suitable targets, Qin Tian hadn't practiced throwing knives for some time. During this period, he had focused on training his two teams and conducting military research in my country's territorial waters.

Qin Tian already had a detailed plan on how to recapture the island reefs southeast of Haifeng Island. However, he still needed to understand the strength of the small country's soldiers; after all, knowing your enemy is the key to victory.

When Qin Tian arrived at the western position on Haifeng Island, Wu Xuyang was already waiting there with the members of the Maritime Action Team. "Report to the captain: Our attack submarine has detected a destroyer from a small country through sonar detection. It is 20 nautical miles from Haifeng Island and is traveling at 31 knots."

"Okay, I understand. You can enter the submarine first." Following Qin Tian's order, the fifteen members of the marine operations team entered the submarine one by one.

Qin Tian quickly picked up his communication device and contacted Ye Cunxin, ordering her to come immediately. Qin Tian had some understanding of the destroyers of that small country, after all, he had been studying the country's deployment and naval situation in my country's waters for some time.

Destroyers are multi-purpose warships, one of the most important types of ships in the navies of various countries, and the most versatile vessels in a naval fleet. Modern destroyers are equipped with a variety of weapons, including air defense, anti-submarine warfare, and anti-surface warfare capabilities. They can perform assault, air defense, and anti-submarine escort missions, and provide fire support in amphibious operations. Furthermore, destroyers play an important role in patrol, surveillance, reconnaissance, and maritime blockade. Based on Qin Tian's assessment, this destroyer from a small country was likely there to gather intelligence on Haifeng Island.

In reality, according to international classifications, this small country doesn't actually have any true destroyers; its naval vessels are generally quite small in tonnage. What this small country calls destroyers are actually only equivalent to frigates in the Chinese Navy. After all, different countries have different strengths, and therefore different classification standards. However, now that this vessel has arrived, Qin Tian wants to let it know that the Weinan military base is not to be trifled with.

Ye Cunxin rushed over and stood on the shore. "Ye Cunxin!" Qin Tian called out. "Here!" Ye Cunxin responded quickly. "Enter the submarine," Qin Tian commanded. The two then entered the attack submarine one after the other. This attack submarine should have nearly a hundred personnel according to its authorized strength, but the Maritime Operations Team had only twenty, making the interior of the submarine quite spacious. Attack nuclear submarines use nuclear propulsion, giving them the advantage of extremely long endurance. This submarine can navigate underwater for extended periods without fear, tracking enemy submarines or surface ships, and launching surprise attacks when necessary. While navigating, the noise of this attack nuclear submarine can be reduced to ninety decibels, allowing it to stealthily navigate amidst the noise of the waves, making it difficult to detect even with the most advanced sonar equipment available today.

The Ocean was moving at full speed and encountered a destroyer from a small country in less than half an hour.

In the command center, Qin Tian calmly watched the small-nation destroyer displayed on the screen. Through the Sky Eye system, he had just confirmed that the destroyer carried nearly two hundred soldiers.

If the goal was simply to launch an attack on them, Qin Tian could have remotely commanded the marine operations team; there was no need for him to personally intervene.

"Ye Cunxin, remotely infiltrate the destroyer's network system and cut off their connection with the command center," Qin Tiantian issued the order.

Ye Cunxin quickly started typing on the keyboard.

Seeing this, the members of the marine operations team nearby couldn't help but gasp in surprise. Wasn't the squadron leader's move too ruthless? They couldn't help but worry whether the enemy's reconnaissance plane would return to base immediately or contact headquarters.

"I can only cut off their connection with the command center. The destroyer's navigation system is still working, and they can still maintain contact with the reconnaissance aircraft," Ye Cunxin explained.

"Don't worry, I can make their reconnaissance planes come crashing down one by one," Qin Tian said confidently with a smile. With Ye Cunxin as his capable assistant, he was confident that he could make the destroyer lose its way in this area of ​​water, and even make the small country only notice the anomaly several hours later.

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this. Although they had heard many legendary stories about Qin Tian and were proud to have joined the National Sharp Blade Squadron, this situation was truly extraordinary.

Attack submarines are equipped with underwater missiles, which are completely incapable of striking aerial targets. No matter how skilled Qin Tian is, he's still just a land-based special forces soldier, and now he's on a submarine. How exactly does he manage to bring reconnaissance planes down one after another?
Soon, Ye Cunxin successfully hacked into the destroyer's network system, severing its connection with the command center. Meanwhile, the small nation's fleet command center remained completely unaware that the destroyer had lost contact, as their communication system had been jammed.

In the command center of the small-country destroyer "Xisha", when a soldier reported losing contact with the command center, the captain immediately ordered three reconnaissance aircraft to take off simultaneously.

The three reconnaissance planes flew in three different directions: one flew south of Haifeng Island, one flew north of Haifeng Island, and the last flew back to the center of the small country's fleet.

However, five minutes later, the three reconnaissance planes flew back over the destroyer.

Inside the attack submarine, the twenty soldiers of the Maritime Operations Team stared wide-eyed at the screen. What was that? Was it a malfunction?

They looked at Qin Tian, ​​only to see that the squadron leader was still intently staring at Ye Cunxin's computer screen, as if everything was within his expectations.

Just as Qin Tian had predicted, the three reconnaissance planes landed back on the destroyer one by one. Although they were filled with curiosity, no one asked any questions. However, if this question wasn't answered, they would probably be unable to eat or sleep for the next few days.

In the destroyer's command center, Captain Ruan Yuancheng reluctantly ordered three reconnaissance planes to land first. The series of strange events left him with a head full of questions; had he really encountered paranormal phenomena in these waters?
The navigation system of the "Xisha" ship was still functioning normally, and Haifeng Island was already in sight, but Ruan Yuancheng was becoming increasingly nervous.

After the three patrol aircraft took off, they flew in their respective destinations, which were completely different, and the navigation systems of the patrol aircraft had no problems.

Why did they return to the same place within just five minutes? Is this really just a coincidence?

Nguyen Nguyen Thanh first ordered the destroyer to stop, then fell into deep thought.

After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes.

"Have you made contact with the command center yet?" he asked.

"Not yet," the soldier replied.

Ruan Yuancheng nodded bitterly and sighed, "We may have been attacked."

Upon hearing this, the officers nearby immediately became restless.

"This shouldn't be an attack, right? How could someone possibly make three patrol planes return to base at the same time?"

"I think there must be a problem at the command center. Maybe it was attacked by Chinese hackers."

"Captain, how about we move the 'Xisha' a little closer? That way, the patrol planes can investigate the military base."

Ruan Yuancheng shook his head, ignoring his subordinates' suggestions. Based on his years of service experience, he still believed that the "Xisha" ship had been attacked.

This series of paranormal events could not possibly be a coincidence; their mission was inherently dangerous. According to reliable CIA intelligence, a fleet had already been stationed on the artificial island a few nautical miles ahead. If the "Xisha" were to approach that fleet again, it would face unpredictable dangers, and might even have already been discovered.

"Reporting, Captain..." the soldier shouted in a panic.

"What happened now?" Ruan Yuancheng asked impatiently.

"The navigation system of the 'Xisha' ship has failed. We only know its latitude and longitude now," the soldier replied.

"What?" Ruan Yuancheng and the officers behind him were stunned.

First, communication was lost, then the patrol aircraft returned to port without warning, and now even the destroyer's navigation system has malfunctioned. Luckily, he had just ordered a halt to the voyage, otherwise they would have had to sail to the other side's port.
