Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

Lin Long said: "So what, even though it used to be a port, it has been abolished now, which only shows that the coral reefs in this area grow too fast and are no longer suitable for being a port, so they have withdrawn from the stage of history. "

"Sanbao Port?" Lin Zhenya frowned, looked at Ma Baiju suspiciously and said, "You mean this port has something to do with Zheng He?"

"Haha, Lao Lin is really knowledgeable." Ma Baiju gave a thumbs up and said, "That's right, Zheng He, originally surnamed Ma, first name He, word Sanbao, Sanbao Port was named after him, because it used to be Zheng He It is an important supply port in the Western Ocean, but in the past few hundred years, the nearby coral reefs have grown too fast, causing this port to disappear.”

Lin Long was still confused, and pursed her mouth and said, "You said it happened hundreds of years ago. Does it have anything to do with the landing battle in front of us?"

"Longlong, you haven't understood what Uncle Ma means." Lin Zhenya waved his hands and smiled, "However, it's not your fault. If you didn't grow up by the sea, you don't know anything about the sea."

Lin Zhenya paused, and continued: "The formation of coral reefs is mainly based on a kind of coral polyp. The coral polyp grows and reproduces very quickly, and the colony continues to bud. When the coral polyp dies, their descendants are the ancestors' remains of the previous generation. Generation after generation, over time, over time, coral polyps gradually accumulate around the island or on the seashore, forming huge reefs or islands. However, the growth of these coral polyps is also limited, and they cannot survive in too deep sea water .”

Lin Zhenya glanced at Ma Baiju as he spoke, and saw that he was listening attentively, smiled slightly, and continued: "China's navy in the Ming Dynasty was developed and powerful. A large-scale long-distance fleet consists of more than 200 ocean-going ships of different purposes and types, with more than 63 officers and men. It is large in scale, numerous in personnel, well-organized and rich in sea navigation experience. The largest fleet The sea-going ship is a treasure ship, which is the flagship of the sea task force led by Zheng He. According to the "History of the Ming Dynasty? It was the largest sea ship in the world at that time, equivalent to the current length of 44 meters and a width of 151.18 meters. The ship has four floors, 61.6 masts on the ship can hang 9 sails, and the anchor weighs several thousand catties. It takes 12 people to set sail. It can accommodate more than a thousand people, so here comes the problem... ".

Lin Zhenya looked at Lin Long as he spoke, as if to question Lin Long, but Lin Long still shook his head, apparently not understanding the mystery.

Lin Zhenya smiled slightly and continued: "Based on the sailing experience of the Daming Navy at that time, do you think they can build a port that needs to park hundreds of large ships in an area full of coral reefs for no reason?"

"Yes, why?" Lin Long scratched her head and asked back.

Ma Baiju seemed impatient, and quickly replied: "Because there is a deep water channel in this area, which is a depth where coral polyps cannot survive at all, so this main channel has always existed, just because the Chinese navy has disappeared in recent decades." , Therefore, this large port also lost its value of existence, was gradually eliminated, and gradually disappeared from people's vision."

"You mean we can find this main channel, and the warships will come in from here?" Lin Long was startled, and finally suddenly realized.

Ma Baiju said: "Yes, that's what it means. The coastline here is narrow and long, and the view is very wide, which meets your requirements. Moreover, the island army is not heavily guarded at all. There is one more important thing. Aren't you going to build an offshore platform? The nearby coral islands are connected, and such a platform is far more reliable than if you built it entirely on the sea."

"Is anyone familiar with this waterway?" Lin Long was overjoyed. If all of this is true, it would be better than the several landing sites Jiang Haoran had planned. Of course, it can also do more with less.

Ma Baiju thought for a while, and said: "It's not a big problem. I'm still familiar with the Baibu area. I hid there for a while when I was fighting with the chairman of the committee a few years ago. The rumor is that I overheard the local old man say I remember that they discussed the specific location of this waterway at that time, so as long as they are found, there must be no problem."

Lin Long said: "That's good, it's not too late, let's start right away, it will take three or four days from here to Baibu according to the speed we came here, it's only eight days in total, it's already very tense for us .”

The three got up immediately, but Lin Zhenya suddenly said: "Wait, we still have to figure out a problem. Even if we find someone who is familiar with the waterway, who will mark the waterway? How?"

This is indeed a difficult problem. The enemy's blockade at sea is definitely not small. There will always be enemy patrol boats coming and going on the sea. Who can and what method should be used to complete this arduous task?

The three looked at each other and were silent for a while. Lin Long said, "Do you have a radio station? I'll contact the headquarters. Maybe they can come up with a good plan?"

Lin Zhenya shook his head and said, "No, our radio station was broken during the breakout a few months ago, otherwise we wouldn't have lost contact with the higher authorities for so long."

Lin Long said: "Then we can only rush back to Xianyu Ridge as soon as possible. Our team has brought a radio station. We can also think about it on the road these days. If we really can't think of a way, we will report it."

Ma Baiju waved his hand and said, "That's fine, let's arrange it like this. We will leave immediately and bring all our people there. If it doesn't work, we can still take the road of strong attack and lay down Baibu before the landing begins."

……

In the waters east of the Riau Islands, the "Zhongshan" aircraft carrier of the Chinese Pacific Fleet.

On the bridge, Yang Honglie and Zhong Lingfeng stood against the wind holding binoculars.

The port of Sukardana ahead is a sea of ​​flames, densely packed fighter jets and bombers shuttle in the sky, and the air battle is fierce.

On the surface of the sea, dozens of warships were deployed in an offensive formation, all their muzzles were aimed at the port, and streams of fire rained down on them. The entire port had almost disappeared in the gunfire and gunpowder smoke.

After four days of attack, the Second Fleet still failed to completely destroy the enemy's shore-based firepower. Thousands of tons of artillery shells and bombs were thrown, more than [-] fighters and bombers of various types were lost, and several cruisers and destroyers were also lost. It's not that big, but the enemy's tortoise shell hasn't been broken at all, and the resistance has only been slightly weakened.

No wonder the island-hopping tactics tried and tested by the Mi Army were met with Waterloo in the Dutch East Indies.
