Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

Across the South China Sea.

The fleet arrived at its first port, Xingzhou.

Here, the fleet will stop for replenishment and replenish necessary supplies such as fresh water, food, and fuel.

On the coastline of Lion City, a majestic warship quietly docked at the pier, it is the famous Haidao amphibious assault ship. Today, it welcomed a group of special visitors - the people of Lion City. With excitement and curiosity, they are ready to board the ship for a visit and see the elegance of this giant on the sea.

In the early morning, the sun shines on the sea, creating golden light. The sea breeze blows gently, bringing a hint of saltiness and the majestic atmosphere of the warship. Ordinary people gather from all corners of the city, including the elderly, children, housewives, and office workers. Their faces are filled with expectant smiles, holding small national flags in their hands, ready to salute this proud warship of the country.

As the visit began, the common people boarded the Haidao in an orderly manner under the guidance of naval officers and soldiers. The first thing that caught the eye was the wide deck of the warship, which was large enough to accommodate multiple helicopters taking off and landing at the same time. On the deck, several helicopters were neatly arranged, their fuselages gleaming in the sun, and their propellers gently turning in the breeze, as if ready to take off at any time.

The soldiers explained that these helicopters can not only carry out transportation tasks, but also rescue in emergency situations. They were full of curiosity about these high-tech equipment and asked the soldiers questions from time to time, and the soldiers patiently answered them one by one.

Out of respect for the local people, the more than 200 rapid response troops who lined up to welcome the visitors did not carry any weapons. Instead, they just lined up empty-handed on the shore, standing like sculptures on both sides of the deck joint to solemnly welcome the local people's visit, which made the team feel indescribably majestic.

Such a strict military appearance naturally won praise from many local people.

"The army of Dongda University, these are the soldiers from our hometown, amazing, really amazing!" An old man with mostly white beard and hair, tremblingly walked past the formation of the rapid reaction force on crutches, tears streaming down his face, muttering to himself.

"This is so majestic and impressive. The German-equipped divisions I saw training in the past were far inferior to this."

After listening to the old man's mumbling, Li Yunlong next to him felt that there might be some story behind this old man.

"Hello, old man. Are you a hero who participated in the War of Resistance?" Li Yunlong couldn't help but take a step forward and asked the old man.

"Hello, sir. I'm not worthy of being called a hero. To be honest, I only returned to China to participate in a few battles. I was driving a car, towing a cannon. Soon, the cannon was destroyed, and I came back." There was some regret in the old man's tone when he talked about this.

"He is also a hero of our Dongda University," Li Yunlong stood at attention and saluted the former veteran, then called a soldier over, "Li Xiaoyang, you accompany this old man on the tour. The old man can see whatever he wants."

Li Yunlong deserves respect for those who returned to fight against the Japanese during the most difficult period of their homeland.

There were many people who returned from Nanyang, and many of them stayed on the front line forever. "Thank you, sir!" The old man excitedly returned the military salute of that year, and with the help of Li Xiaoyang, he followed the crowd to the Haidao!
On the deck, more than 100 soldiers of the rapid reaction force were fully armed and lined up on the vast parade ground through the deck. They were dressed in camouflage uniforms, camouflage helmets, belts tied tightly around their waists, and uniform military boots. The soldiers' eyes were firm and sharp, revealing their indomitable will and determination to be ready to fight at any time.

"A group of tigers and wolves, a group of tigers and wolves!" The old man was even more excited when he saw the fully armed soldiers on the deck!
Here, the soldiers of the rapid reaction force are not prohibited from fighting in formation. Instead, they follow the commander's order and constantly change the marching formation. Their steps are sonorous and powerful, and every movement is precise and correct. More than a hundred people are as uniform as one person, without the slightest difference, demonstrating strict discipline and excellent training level.

In the sunlight, their guns and bayonets flashed coldly. Although there were only more than a hundred of them, the marching formation they performed made the footsteps as shocking as those of thousands of troops.

The huge military flag hanging on the warship fluttered in the wind. The bright red color was like a flame burning in the soldiers' hearts, inspiring them to move forward courageously.

Next, a special event began amid much anticipation: a Z-5 helicopter flight show for the local people. The sky was clear and the sea breeze was gentle, perfect weather for the flight show.

The Z-5 helicopter is the latest model developed by the National Taiwan University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. With its excellent performance and flexible maneuverability, it is the pride of the amphibious assault ship. Today, it will demonstrate its superb flying skills and diverse mission capabilities to the public.

The ship's deck was cleaned spotlessly, and the ground crew on the flight deck were busy making final preparations before the flight.

As the performance time approached, more and more people gathered on the coast. Some of them were with their families or friends, and their faces were filled with expectant smiles. Children pointed to the sky excitedly, looking forward to the appearance of the Z-5 helicopter. The audience area on the coast has been arranged and safety measures have been put in place to ensure that people can watch this spectacular flight show safely.

Finally, amidst a round of warm applause, the Z-5 helicopter slowly started up, the rotors began to rotate, and gradually accelerated until the roar filled the entire sea and sky. The pilot, wearing his iconic flight suit and helmet, waved to the audience. With the commander's order, the Z-5 helicopter took off and began its performance.

First, the Z-5 helicopter demonstrated its vertical take-off and landing capability. It took off vertically amid the amazement of the audience, and then hovered in the air, demonstrating the helicopter's unique maneuverability. Then, the pilot manipulated the helicopter to perform a series of maneuvers, including rapid climbs, dives, rolls, and hovers. Each action was precise and smooth, demonstrating the pilot's superb flying skills and the Z-5 helicopter's excellent performance.

The helicopter drew graceful arcs in the air, and its fuselage shone with silver light under the sun, like an eagle flying freely over the sea. The audience was deeply attracted by this wonderful performance, and bursts of applause and cheers broke out from time to time.

Afterwards, the Z-5 helicopter performed a simulated search and rescue show. It released an orange lifeboat in the air, simulating a search and rescue mission at sea. The helicopter hovered in the air and accurately dropped the lifeboat to the predetermined location, demonstrating its ability to perform tasks in complex sea conditions.

The most exciting moment came when the Z-5 helicopter performed a simulated attack show. It first flew at a low altitude and high speed, then suddenly pulled up to simulate avoiding the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower. Then, it fired a flare to simulate a precise strike on a target at sea. The flare drew bright tracks in the air and finally hit the target accurately, which aroused warm applause from the audience.

As the performance ended, the Z-5 helicopter slowly landed on the deck of the Haidao, and the pilot walked out of the cockpit and saluted the audience. The audience responded with thunderous applause, thanking them for bringing such a visual feast. (End of this chapter)
