Back in 1978, I was admitted to Northwestern Polytechnical University.

Chapter 423 Jinghong Island, Nanzi Island... all taken back!

The monkeys were very excited. Since the Easterners had already settled on Changsha Island, they must have left behind a large amount of resources. The monkeys were absolutely drooling over these resources!
Two speedboats came out. After one speedboat was sunk last time, these two were the last means of communication with the outside world on Jinghong Island!
Each speedboat can carry about twenty people, and two speedboats carry almost half of the guard force of Jinghong Island!

Buzz, buzz!

The speedboat's engine made a brisk sound, and the monkeys on board were also in a relaxed and happy mood.

Platoon leader Fan Chengzhong stood at the front of the speedboat, looking at the sea to the south through binoculars, getting closer and closer!

Wait, I saw it myself!

"I saw red flags fluttering on the island! Could it be that the Soviet Big Brother's marines have already gone up there? It doesn't matter, let them go. Big Brother's navy won't be stationed there permanently. In the end, it will still be left to us."

"Platoon leader, platoon leader!"

"what happened?"

"There are gun turrets on the sea ahead!"

"How is that possible? How could a turret float on the sea!"

Fan Chengzhong glanced at his subordinates with displeasure, then put down his binoculars. At close range, he could see clearly even without binoculars. When he saw the rounded turrets in the distance, he was instantly surprised.

“This is an amphibious tank! It’s… Big Brother’s PT-76!” Fan Chengzhong quickly made the judgment.

"There's a small red flag hanging on the radio antenna of this turret!"

"That's right, it's our Big Brother's banner!"

At this moment, Fan Chengzhong was very clear that the force moving towards them was the Russian amphibious troops, but... why were they moving in this direction?
"Listen up, you're about to sing for me..."

Before he could finish speaking, his men exclaimed again, "They've pointed their cannons at us!"

What?
Fan Chengzhong looked ahead; they were now less than a kilometer away! Sure enough, the amphibious tank's cannon was aimed at their two speedboats. This…

and many more!

Fan Chengzhong looked again at the small red flag fluttering in the wind. It didn't seem to have a sickle and hammer on it, but instead... a five-pointed star?

damn it!
"It's not Big Brother's PT-76, it's the Type 63 from the north!" Fan Chengzhong exclaimed in shock. "Quick, retreat! They can't drive as fast as us!"

Back then, after liberation, the People's Liberation Army only had one amphibious tank regiment, equipped with American-made Buffalo vehicles obtained from Chiang Kai-shek. These were essentially amphibious armored personnel carriers, which were far from meeting the needs.

Therefore, Eastern military engineers, referencing the Russian PT-76 amphibious tank, developed the Type 211 amphibious tank, which was later designated Type 63.

The early Type 63 amphibious tanks were much better than the Russian PT-76 in overall performance. In fact, a batch of them were even sent to the People's Republic of China a few years ago, since rivers are everywhere in the country and this type of amphibious tank is the most useful.

Unfortunately, it turns out that the monkey is a complete ingrate; it eats our food, uses our things, and then turns around and comes looking for trouble with us!
Now, it's time to make the monkey pay the price!

"Fire!"

Inside an amphibious tank, Ma Shiyong shouted loudly into the radio.

boom!
The 85mm rifled cannon fired directly while floating, and as fireballs shot out from the muzzle, the vehicle jolted backward due to the recoil!
The speed of watercraft is very low, only a dozen kilometers per second, so estimating the lead time is easy. Furthermore, within a kilometer, the fire is considered direct, so…

The monkey's fate was almost a foregone conclusion!

boom!
One shot blew the speedboat to pieces!
boom!
After the second shot was fired, the second speedboat that had turned to escape was also blown to pieces!
The monkeys, who were still alive, cried out in despair, hoping that the amphibious force could give them a ride for a while, but... no one paid them any attention. The loader poked his head out of the turret and operated the 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine gun on top of the turret.

If they dare to get close, just open fire!

So the monkeys that were still alive could only continue to struggle in the seawater.

"Company commander, these monkeys will probably all drown, right?"

Ma Shiyong smiled and glanced at the gunner beside him: "That's not necessarily true. If they're lucky, they should be able to swim back to Nanwei Island. Once there, they can continue to work with the other monkeys to build things for us, atoning for their sins with their hard work!"

"Well, I hope so."

They had to take down those two speedboats, otherwise, if these people returned to Jinghong Island, it would alert the enemy!
The amphibious tanks continued their advance on the sea. The weather was excellent today, with low waves, which facilitated their attack. After all, the Type 63 amphibious tank was designed with only level three wind and wave resistance.

We continued sailing forward, one hour, two hours, until finally, an oval-shaped island appeared in the distance.

On the island, Wen Jinyong was still anxiously waiting. Why hadn't the attacking troops reacted at all? This didn't make sense! Once they got to the island and found the radio, they should have sent a message back to him!

"So, do you think they made it up there or not?"

"Of course we went up. With the help of our Soviet big brother, it was a piece of cake. Company commander, don't worry."

Just then, a rumbling sound rose in the distance; that was…

On the sea, amphibious tanks are moving, and in the sky, armed helicopters are roaring! They can land anywhere at any time, which is the advantage of helicopters!
If it were just amphibious tanks, the monkeys might still think it was from the Soviet Union, but the helicopter on top of their heads definitely isn't from Russia. After all, Russian naval helicopters all have a coaxial, counter-rotating structure with two large discs on top.

Now, this helicopter, with only a large plate on top and its short wings on both sides covered with weapons and equipment, is clearly up to no good!
"Quick, get out of the way!"

Before he could finish speaking, flames shot out from the rocket launch site beneath the helicopter's short wings.

Whoosh, whoosh!

One rocket after another was launched! Like a torrential downpour, it poured onto the coast.

Despair was all that remained in Wen Jinyong's eyes. He knew he couldn't escape this overwhelming attack!

Boom, boom boom!

Explosions rang out one after another, and countless monkeys were sent flying, turning into pieces in mid-air... Boom, boom boom!

On the sea, amphibious tank units also opened fire!

One after another, 85mm shells landed precisely on Jinghong Island, covering barracks, lookout posts... wherever monkeys were seen, they were bombarded with shells!
As the last rays of the setting sun bathed the island, amphibious tanks rolled out of the sea, water still dripping from their bodies, their tracks already crushing the land.

Crushing through the minced meat, continue forward!

Helicopters patrolled around the island, and tanks moved around the island, stopping at intervals to serve as fixed artillery positions. After circling the entire island, a dozen or so monkeys stood with their hands raised, trembling with fear.

Next destination: Nanzi Island!
Twin Atolls, the first atoll in the northwest of NSQD, extends from northeast to southwest, with a length of 16 kilometers and a width of 8.3 kilometers.

The northwestern part of the French-speaking region forms two islands, named South Island and North Island based on their location. At low tide, a reef called Gongshi Reef is exposed at the northeastern end, while Nairo Reef is exposed at the southwest.

Within the ring of the lake are shallow lakes, thirty to fifty meters deep, while outside the ring lies the deep sea, thousands of meters below the surface.

Similarly, since the Yuan Dynasty, NSQD has been located in the map territory of the East. In 1933, when the French invaded, there were seven fishermen from the East living on Nanzi Island, along with two children. In 1979, fishermen from Wenchang were still growing sweet potatoes here.

In 1971, the Vietnamese monkeys held a get-together and lured the Filipino monkeys stationed on Nanzi Island away to join the fun on Beizi Island. Then... the Vietnamese monkeys secretly went to Nanzi Island. When the Filipino monkeys returned, they saw the monkeys' flags floating in the sky above Nanzi Island. All they could do was curse.

On Nanzi Island, there are two freshwater wells. Although the water tastes terrible, it is still drinkable.

At midnight, with a bright moon and few stars, three signal flares suddenly rose into the sky above the Twin Reefs—red, yellow, and green… a dazzling display of colors.

On North Island, Santos, the commander of the Philippine monkey garrison, watched the commotion on South Island with an extremely tense expression on his face.

Whoosh, whoosh!

Rockets rained down from the sea, launching a barrage of attacks on Nanzi Island. After this round, not a single person or animal on Nanzi Island would be spared!

Then, the tank landing ships stormed the beach, landed, and the tanks rumbled onto the shore...

“Ruan Zhixiong, you retreated at just the right time!” Santos glanced at the people around him.

That's right, the monkey shrank back!
Just a few hours ago, when they heard about the situation on Jinghong Island, they were instantly discouraged and lost all courage. They wanted to retreat, and couldn't even wait a night!
but……

It was too dangerous to run out in the middle of the night, so they decided to retreat to Beizi Island!

This terrified the Filipino monkeys' garrison. The scene from a few years ago was still fresh in their minds. What were these Vietnamese monkeys up to? Could they be trying to take advantage of the chaos to occupy Beizi Island?
No, absolutely not!
The Vietnamese commander, Nguyen Chi Hung, wept bitterly and even threw his sidearm into the sea to show that he had no ill intentions. Thus, the disarmed Vietnamese garrison finally reached the island of Bac Tu, which was controlled by the Philippines, and they were put under strict guard.

It's the middle of the night, and they've actually made a commotion!

Seeing everything that happened on Nanzi Island, the Yue monkeys trembled and turned pale. They secretly rejoiced, thinking, "Thank goodness we're out. It feels so good to be alive!"
"We'll go back after dawn tomorrow!" Ruan Zhixiong said dejectedly. "Oh, right, I have to remind you, they drove us away, and your next target is you!"

Santos' body trembled.

"Ahem, well... you abandoned Nanzi Island without orders. Even if you go back, you'll probably be court-martialed, right?"

"This……"

"Why don't you stay on Beizi Island and join us? That way, you'll still have a chance to earn merit!"

Ruan Zhixiong took a deep breath: "Okay!"

The other party is right!

Nanzi Island.

"Damn it, there isn't a single garrison on the island. We just wasted our ammunition!"

"Yes, we should have just charged straight up."

"No, it still had meaning. Our display of force must have scared the Filipino monkeys on North Island. Those Filipino monkeys had better leave on their own..."

On the tank landing ship, Zhang, the leader of the South China Sea Fleet, heard about the situation on the island and was somewhat surprised: "They've all retreated? They were still there before dark, and now they're retreating... Could it be that they've retreated to Beizi Island? Good, good, good retreat. Keep a close eye on them, don't let the Vietnamese get away!"

As long as we send a few amphibious tanks to patrol the area around the Twin Rings, those Vietnamese monkeys won't dare to leave easily! If we spot any speedboats, we can just bombard them with tank cannons!

"Next, send the engineering machinery and monkey prisoners from Nanwei Island over as soon as possible. After that sweeping attack, the entire Nanzi Island is almost flattened. Quickly set up our airstrip!"

Nanzi Island is also an oval-shaped reef, 600 meters long, 350 meters wide, and 3.6 meters above sea level.

Therefore, a 600-meter runway also needs to be built on this site! The last 300 meters will be used for landing, and the first 300 meters for takeoff, so that nothing is delayed!

As dawn broke in the eastern sky, the monkeys on Beizi Island looked fearfully toward Nanzi Island. When the scene on the island appeared in their binoculars, they were furious!
Those people working with shovels and hoes are prisoners of the Yue monkeys! You can tell just by their build! These guys actually dare to force prisoners to work!

and many more!

What are they going to do?
“Could it be that they’re going to build an airstrip like they did on South Rhine Island? No, no, if they really build an airstrip, then we…” Santos thought of something, his face turning pale: “Quickly, send a telegram back home immediately!”

If there were an airstrip here, capable of accommodating fighter jets, then this entire sea area would become the domain of the East!
We absolutely cannot allow this situation to occur!

"Report! Electromagnetic interference! We can't send our telegrams at all!"

What?
"Report! The Vietnamese monkeys are leaving!"

Ruan Zhixiong could no longer control his men. When they heard that an air force base had been built on Nanzi Island, they started clamoring to run away!

They didn't want to stay in this damn place for another second!

"Leave? Can they leave?" Santos looked at the distant sea, at the turrets rising from the water, weren't they amphibious tanks?

Beizi Island has also been sealed off!
Now, the only hope is that the country can detect the problem here as soon as possible and send reinforcements over quickly.
