Chapter 17 Chapter Sixteen

Lin Biao's special train slowly entered Wuchang Station, and the crowd waiting on the platform suddenly became agitated. The slogan "Welcome! Welcome! Warmly welcome..." resounded through the sky.Lin Biao, Tan Zheng, and Xiao Ke stepped onto the platform amidst the military music, and several young women rushed forward to offer flowers. The spotlights of the journalists kept flickering, and Lin Biao gave a short speech with a smile in his arms, then got into the car and drove towards the riverside wharf with a hug.The whereabouts of this commander-in-chief "101" has been classified as the top military secret. It was midnight when he left Wuhan two months ago, and now he can finally show his face.

For a year, he led a capable command post all the way south from Shuangcheng near Harbin, traveling day and night, his whereabouts were secretive, and the staff around him could only call him by his code name.With the end of the war on the mainland, the title "101" with a strong military color will go away from him, and his real name and real surname will be widely spread in the mass media as a political term. The task of liberating the six central and southern provinces has been largely completed, leaving only Hainan Island.As the commander-in-chief of the four fields, there is no need to personally command the crossing of the sea and landing. He had already called Deng Hua and others a few days ago:

When the convoy arrived at the riverside, Lin, Tan, Xiao and others crossed the river by ferry. Deng Zihui greeted them at the pier in person. The welcome scene in Hankou was even more enthusiastic, and a triumphal arch was set up. On December 10, 1949, Lin Biao received a call from Mao Zedong from Moscow: On December 22, Lin Biao called Li Zuopeng, commander of the 43rd Army: After the 15th Corps received the combat mission to capture Hainan Island, Deng Hua, Lai Chuanzhu, and Hong Xuezhi put forward a preliminary opinion after careful study, and sent a telegram to the Wild Division and the Military Commission on December 27:

On December 31, Mao Zedong called Lin Biao again: Two weeks later, Hong Xuezhi, deputy commander of the 15th Corps, came to Wuhan from Guangzhou and reported to Lin Biao and others about the pre-war preparations of the 15th Corps. Hong Xuezhi said: "We originally planned to cross the sea before the Spring Festival, but now it seems that we underestimated the difficulties and could not complete the preparations before the Spring Festival, so we request to postpone the crossing time." Lin Biao frowned and said, "We only have wooden sailboats, and we have to rely on the winter north monsoon for power. After the Spring Festival, the wind direction will change, and it will be more difficult for you to cross the sea."

Hong Xuezhi explained: "There are more than 100,000 enemy troops on Hainan Island. The chairman instructed that one army must be crossed at a time. If each ship transports 30 people, more than 1,000 ships are needed. We only have four to five hundred ships now. Not enough. Most of the troops are northerners who are not familiar with water and have a fear of the sea. Some people say, "From the northeast to the South China Sea, this time the revolution has reached the bottom of the sea." One even went to sea training, and more than 60 people got seasick Vomit. It takes time to deal with enemy warships and aircraft without maritime military training.”

Deng Zihui said anxiously: "Winter is coming to an end soon. When you finish your preparations, the time will be wrong and the monsoon will turn. How will your sailboats cross the sea?" Hong Xuezhi said: "Deng Hua and Comrade Lai Chuanzhu sent me to explain these difficulties to the chief. We plan to convert most of the wooden sailboats into machines, so that we can cross the sea with motorized sailboats without being affected by the weather." Lin Biao nodded and said, "This is a good way. You should follow it and strive to cross the sea as soon as possible."

Hong Xuezhi smiled and said, "I'm asking you for money this time. Refitting the machine requires a lot of money, and neither the Corps nor the South China Branch can solve it." "We don't have any money." Deng Zihui said in embarrassment, "The new liberated area is riddled with holes, and money is needed everywhere." "How about this, you go directly to Beijing to report to the Military Commission." Lin Biao said to Hong Xuezhi, "One is to explain the reason for delaying crossing the sea, and the other is to ask the central government to help solve the funding problem."

After listening to Hong Xuezhi's report, Commander-in-Chief Zhu De and Acting Chief Nie Rongzhen immediately telegraphed the situation to Mao Zedong in Moscow. On January 10, Mao Zedong called back: After deciding to use motor sailboats as the main means of crossing the sea, Lin Biao sent Chen Yi, the political commissar of the logistics department of the Four Fields, to go south to Guangzhou with millions of silver dollars.Ye Jianying and Deng Hua were greatly encouraged to see the arrival of the "God of Wealth".At that time, the available machines in Guangzhou had been snapped up, so it was decided to let Chen Yi go to Hong Kong and Macau to engage in "smuggling".

Chen Yi disguised himself as a businessman from the Shanghai Steamship Company, dressed in suits and leather shoes, and dressed in a decent way, but he knew nothing about the business world.Ye Jianying ordered: "You don't talk too much, Boss Wen will take care of the business affairs, otherwise you will be exposed." Chen Yi and Boss Wen took a group of seven to Kowloon by train and hurried to Hong Kong. Their main goal of this trip was to buy landing craft, but all the ships sold in the ship market were civilian ships. It is a few passenger ships like buildings. Boss Wen said: "How about these passenger ships? Two battalions can be operated at a time."

Chen Yi shook his head and said: "The target is too large to be conducive to forced crossing. Once the enemy's warships and planes are found, they will become targets. Even if they can safely cross the strait, they will not be able to dock without a large dock." Boss Wen said: "Hong Kong can't count on it. It depends on whether there are suitable products in Macau." They moved to Macau again, where the boat market was even more depressed.Chen Yi was very disappointed and had to return to Guangzhou empty-handed. Having money can't solve the problem, so Ye Jianying, Deng Hua and others had to go back to the starting point after going around in circles - deciding to use wooden sailboats as the main means of crossing the sea.

At the beginning of 1950, the Leizhou Peninsula was full of troops, sailing masts were like forests on the seashore, and 100,000 troops of the 40th Army and the 43rd Army of the Four Fields gathered here.These two armies were the first batch of troops to go south from the Four Fields. As soon as the Battle of Pingjin was over, they entered Wuhan as an advance corps. Now that the other troops in the Four Fields had entered a period of peace, they were about to carry out a very risky sea-crossing and landing campaign. Facing the turbulent waves and the boundless sea, the "Siberian tigers" who once swept across the entire continent felt trembling.There are giant iron-clad ships of the enemy on the sea, and planes fiercer than birds of prey in the sky, and look at the wooden sailboats driven by fishermen, which are lifted up into the air by huge waves for a while, and fall into the trough for a while with only half of the mast tip exposed.How about trying to cross the strait with these wooden sailboats struggling with the waves? The "Siberian tigers" who are not used to water have some ideological problems. "We will take the lead when we go south, and we will be the last in the national victory. Life is really hard!" "This time it's a narrow escape, the revolution is over (at the bottom of the sea)!" The best way to solve ideological problems is to make soldiers familiar with the sea, from fear of the sea to loving and embracing the sea, so as to build up the confidence to fight and win. An unprecedented large-scale military training at sea began. The Spring Festival is approaching, and the boatmen go home for a reunion.The "Siberian tigers" who have been flopping in the sea for a month have become addicted, and they feel uncomfortable if they don't practice at sea once a day.Without a boatman to steer the boat, they rolled the boat into the sea by themselves. At that time, in order to avoid air strikes by enemy planes, "sea training" was generally carried out at night.One day, eight people including Lu Xiangyun, the deputy platoon leader of a certain unit of the 43rd Army, set sail for the sea. Soon, the wind stopped, the ship lost power, and had to anchor at sea. The eight soldiers had a good sleep in the cabin. Just after dawn, a northeasterly wind blew on the sea. Lu Xiangyun woke up the soldiers and prepared to return to the team. "Look, what is that black guy?" A soldier pointed to the southwest and said, "I didn't find it when it broke down last night!" Lu Xiangyun's heart skipped a beat. It might be an enemy ship. He said calmly, "Everyone, take off your military caps and observe carefully." The black shadow became bigger and bigger, and it really was a warship approaching at high speed. "Take out your weapon and prepare to fight!" Lu Xiangyun's eyes spewed fire, "You can't hide, so you have to fight hard." There are 5 party members among the 8 people, and the other 3 people are also actively moving closer to the organization. The soldiers said one after another: "Fight with the iron guy!" There was 1 machine gun, 4 submachine guns, 3 rifles, 1 rifle grenade cartridge, 12 rifle grenades, more than a dozen hand grenades and 2 explosive packs on board. "Tell the enemy to taste the power of the wooden boat!" Lu Xiangyun said calmly, "Don't worry, everyone, wait for the iron guy to approach, and it will be caught off guard." The warship circled the wooden boat and confirmed that it was undoubtedly the "communist army", so it adjusted its naval guns and fired violently.The gunfire snapped the sail rope, and the white sail slipped from the mast with a splash, pushing the ship to one side. The enemy wanted to catch them alive, so they stopped shooting, and they left their positions and stood on the deck shouting: "Brothers in the Communist Army, surrender! You can't run away!" The enemy ship was gradually approaching, and when it was about 100 meters away, the soldiers couldn't help it: "Deputy platoon leader, fight!" Lu Xiangyun waved his hand to stop: "Come closer, the machine gun is aimed at the fat guy on the podium, and the rest are aimed at the enemy on the deck." When the warship was 50 meters away from the wooden boat, Lu Xiangyun yelled "fight", and 8 men opened fire at the same time.The fat officer on the bridge was shot and killed, and the sailors in boat caps on the deck fell down. The enemy was suddenly attacked and rushed into the cabin one after another. The warship turned around and sailed away from the wooden boat, and then stopped and fired outside the range of the wooden boat's firepower.The cannon was fired for 20 minutes, but the effect was not good. The wooden boat was too small to jump up the wave sometimes and fall into the valley of the wave sometimes.The unskilled enemy saw that the cannon could not hit, so he tried to smash the wooden boat with full power. Lu Xiangyun saw through the enemy's plot, and said to the soldiers at the helm: "The enemy ship wants to sink us, so be smart and pay attention to the direction." The moment the ships were about to collide, the soldiers at the helm turned the rudder hard to the right, and the warships passed by.Lu Xiangyun and others took the opportunity to throw grenades on the warship one after another. Amidst a series of explosions, the warship drove away with billowing smoke. The wooden boat defeated the warship and created a miracle in the history of naval warfare!This successful battle greatly enhanced the confidence of crossing the sea with wooden sailboats.There is nothing scary about an ironclad battleship, it can be knocked away with a few grenades, and the tactics on land are also effective at sea! The shadow of defeat in the Battle of Jinmen still hangs over the hearts of Deng Hua and others. According to Mao Zedong's instructions, one army must be crossed at a time, requiring thousands of wooden sailboats.In order to deal with the enemy's warships, it is necessary to refit some "earth gunboats" and install small-caliber anti-tank guns and anti-war guns on wooden sailboats.It takes a considerable amount of time to train a corps for naval warfare.The pre-war preparations are numerous and complicated. When will the preparations for crossing the sea be completed?Deng Hua has nothing in his heart.Unexpectedly, an unexpected event changed the entire combat deployment. One day in late January 1950, the People's Liberation Army, which was training at sea, intercepted a suspicious fishing boat. On board was a middle-aged man who claimed to be a businessman with a revolver.People's Liberation Army soldiers suspected that he was a spy of the Kuomintang and escorted him to the headquarters of the 40th Army.The businessman suddenly revealed his true identity. He turned out to be Fu Zhenzhong, chief of staff of the Qiongya Column, who was entrusted by the column commander Feng Baiju to smuggle across the sea to contact the main force. Fu Zhenzhong carried the radio code of the Qiongya Column with him, as well as a key map of the enemy's defense in Hainan Island.Army commander Han Xianchu did not dare to delay, and immediately sent a car to Guangzhou. On January 25, Ye Jianying personally presided over the military meeting in Guangzhou and listened to Fu Zhenzhong's report on "Summary of the Situation of the Enemy and Ourselves on Hainan Island". This report lasted 4 hours and was divided into six parts: 1. Our base areas and organizations; 2. The various situations and possible concentration of our armed forces; The distribution of enemy troops in the harbor, the conditions of our masses and how to cooperate with the landing of the army; 5. The conditions of the masses in various places, rice grains and main roads; 6. The preparations to cooperate with the army. The Qiongya Column is a revolutionary armed force with a glorious tradition. Its history can be traced back to 1927. The famous Red Detachment of Women is in this column.After the Agrarian Revolutionary War, the War of Resistance Against Japan, and the War of Liberation, the column developed to 3 corps, 10 regiments and 15,000 people. With Wuzhishan as the center, a solid base area covering 4 counties was established, and the rest of the counties were guerrilla areas. Most of the enemy forces on Hainan Island were the remnants of the Yu Hanmou Group who fled to the island. Chiang Kai-shek appointed Xue Yue as the commander-in-chief of Hainan's defense, with 19 divisions in charge of 5 armies, 50 ships of the Navy's 3rd Fleet, and 1 regiment of the Marine Corps. The air force has 45 aircraft of various types in 4 brigades, with a total force of 100,000.Xue Yue (named Boling) stepped up the construction of fortifications on the island, focusing on the front of the strait, followed by the east and west sides. Known as the "Boling Line of Defense", it emphasized the three-dimensional defense of land, sea and air.Its strategy is to take advantage of the fact that the main force of the People's Liberation Army is not yet ready to cross the sea and land, and first concentrate its forces to "clear" the Qiongya column to eliminate internal troubles; Destroy the preparations for the "communist army" to cross the sea and land; at the same time, the navy and air force strengthened maritime patrols, trying to defeat the "communist army" in the middle of the crossing. Fu Zhenzhong pointed out that the enemy's main force was assembled to "clear and suppress" Qiongzong, so that there were very few troops defending the coastline, especially on the east and west sides. In the end, Fu Zhenzhong said in incomprehensible Hainan Mandarin: "Comrade Feng Baiju asked me to convey two suggestions: First, when the enemy's coastal defense deployment is not completed, first send a force to smuggle across the sea to strengthen Qiongzong's strength; Second, if the above-mentioned plan is considered unsuitable, smuggle a batch of weapons and ammunition to help Qiong Zong." Fu Zhenzhong spoke typical Hainan Mandarin, which was incomprehensible to everyone. Fortunately, Ye Jianying was from Cantonese and worked in Hainan for a period of time, so he acted as an interpreter.Fu speaks a sentence, and Ye translates a sentence, making it the same as a foreigner giving a report. On February 1, Deng Hua presided over the combat meeting, and based on the intelligence provided by Fu Zhenzhong and the pre-war preparations of the troops, he studied the combat plan for crossing the sea. Deng Hua pointed out: "The enemy used Hainan Island as a base to send planes to bomb Guangzhou and Wuhan, causing no peace in the two lakes and Guangdong areas. The central government and the field department have repeatedly asked us to liberate Hainan Island in advance. It seems that we can use a combination of small-scale smuggling in batches and final landing, which is expected to solve the problem of Hainan Island in advance. Since Fu Zhenzhong can smuggle here, we must have a way to smuggle there.” Attending the meeting were Ye Jianying, Lai Chuanzhu, Hong Xuezhi, Xiao Xiangrong, Han Xianchu, Li Zuopeng, Zhang Chiming, Fu Zhenzhong and others.After several days of intense discussions, the new campaign guidelines were finalized. On February 9, Deng Hua and Lai Chuanzhu called the Military Commission and Shino: There are 100,000 enemies on the island. If only a large-scale landing is adopted for a quick decision, more motorboats and sailboats will be needed, and the cost of refitting will be higher. It cannot be done simultaneously within half a year.On the other hand, we have our base on the island, and with the cooperation of Feng Baiju, there is a lot of room for maneuver. As long as we can go up, even a small force can fight guerrillas to strengthen the island's strength.Therefore, the policy of active smuggling, small crossings in batches, and final landing should be adopted. At this time, after two months of dealing with Stalin, Mao Zedong finally succeeded. The two sides completed the negotiation of the "Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship, Alliance and Mutual Assistance", which was the first treaty of equality between China and a foreign country in a century.He began to visit factories, farms and universities with great interest, and Western news agencies suddenly reported more reports about his visits. While visiting, he always paid attention to the issues of Taiwan and Hainan Island.Deng Hua's telegram on the 9th and Lin Biao's on the 10th made him very happy. He said to Shi Zhe and others: "Siye has found a solution to Hainan Island. The air force is not required to participate in the war. They are going to use wooden sailboats to cross the sea in batches." On February 12, Mao Zedong called Lin Biao and forwarded it to Deng Hua: Deng Hua decided that the two armies would each send a reinforced battalion to carry out smuggling. On March 5, 1950, a northeasterly wind suddenly blew in the Qiongzhou Strait. Han Xianchu, the commander of the 40th Army, immediately called Deng Yue, commander of the 118th Division: "Finally, the northeasterly wind is coming. Your reinforced battalion is preparing for work." How are you doing, can you smuggle in today?" "Commander, 'everything is ready, the only thing we need is the east wind', since the east wind is coming, what else is there to prepare for? Just give the order!" "Okay!" Han Xianchu said decisively, "Set sail this afternoon and carry out the first batch of smuggling!" At 3 p.m., Gou Zaisong, chief of staff of the division, led a reinforcement battalion of 799 people to gather in the beach woods.Han Xianchu personally handed over a red flag embroidered with "landing combat vanguard" to battalion commander Chen Yongkang and instructor Zhang Zhongxian.Han Xianchu is a well-known tiger general in the four fields. When the 40th Army was in the Northeast, it was called the "Whirlwind Column".His mobilization speech was succinct and clear: "Comrades! The wind is blowing so well now, and the time will never come again. You should hurry up and get ready to go. I only have one sentence: I wish you all the best and successfully plant this red flag in Shanghai." island!" The last meal before the war was noodles and pancakes, and the warriors devoured twice as much food as usual. The "Siberian Tiger" has arrived in the south of the Yangtze River and eats rice all day long. It has not tasted pasta for a long time. The afterglow of the setting sun reflected the tumbling sea, and 800 warriors sailed out to sea, taking 13 wooden sailboats and sailing towards the southwest with the wind. Han Xianchu watched the fleet voyage barefoot on the beach, and the waves crashed onto the beach from time to time, passing over his knees.The fleet slowly disappeared on the vast sea. At this time, the twilight was falling, and he frowned with thick eyebrows, and left the sea with a heavy heart.On the way back to the military headquarters, he asked the driver to stop several times and took out his handkerchief to test whether the wind direction had changed. It was smooth sailing in the first half of the night. The fleet traveled 200 miles and was still 120 miles away from the scheduled landing point.After midnight, the wind died down and the noisy waves calmed down. The wind died down and the wooden sailboat lost power. Chief of Staff Gou on the command ship was very worried. If he could not land before dawn, the consequences would be disastrous.He immediately ordered the signal corps to issue a red signal of "force forward" to the ships. Each ship began to advance by manpower rowing according to the predetermined plan.There were not enough sculls, and the soldiers paddled with shovels, butts and planks.As the sky was getting brighter, Chief of Staff Gou looked around, and there was a vast white sea everywhere. He anxiously gave the command to "speed up". The sun came out of the water, the sky and the sea were the same color, thousands of miles were clear, and the visibility was particularly good. The foggy Qiongzhou Strait was actually not even a trace of cloud and fog. At 9 o'clock in the morning, the winding coastline finally appeared in Gou Zaisong's sight. Soon, a string of shells was fired from the shore, stirring up a row of snow-white water columns in front of the fleet.The fleet ignored it and moved on.Ten minutes later, 4 planes flew from the island, circled over the convoy for a while, and dropped 4 bombs for fire reconnaissance.The fleet still ignored it and continued to row forward.The plane couldn't judge whether the fleet was friend or foe, so it had to return. The enemy's shore artillery fire reconnaissance and aerial reconnaissance were ineffective, so 11 wooden sailboats were sent to head on.The ships of the two sides quickly got mixed up, and the enemy fleet found that the situation was not good and sent a signal to the shore to report.The artillerymen on the shore couldn't distinguish between the enemy and us and couldn't fire. The four planes flew over the fleet again and encountered the same problem. They didn't know which ships were the Communist Army and which were the National Army, so they dared not attack rashly. The number of enemies on the ship was small and their firepower was poor, so they hid in the cabin and did not dare to show their faces. They pinned their hopes on the air force overhead, so they planted a small red flag on the bow, and the People's Liberation Army ship followed suit.Later, the enemy replaced it with a small white flag, and the People's Liberation Army also replaced it with a small white flag. After more than two hours of wits, the fleet approached the landing point without loss. At this time, the enemy on the shore dispatched a battalion to intercept on the beach, 2 warships sailed by sea, and 4 planes in the air. Under the attack of the enemy's land, sea and air firepower, 800 strong men began to rush to land on the beach. Instructor Zhang Zhongxian commanded the first three boats to charge the enemy on the shore first.The warriors jumped into the waist-deep water, and under the cover of fire from the ship's mortars and heavy machine guns, they quickly washed up on the beach. At this time, the support troops of the Qiongya column also started behind the enemy, and the enemy troops on the shore were attacked from both sides and fled. At 1:30 in the afternoon, all the reinforced battalions landed and marched towards Wuzhishan Mountain under the support of Qiong Zong. In the first smuggling, there were only more than 50 casualties, and it was easy to break through the so-called "Boling Line of Defense" of the enemy's three-dimensional defense of sea, land and air. On March 10, a reinforced battalion of the 43rd Army with 1,070 people, under the leadership of the regiment commander Xu Fangchun, carried out smuggling in 21 wooden sailboats.They originally planned to smuggle in at the same time as the reinforced battalion of the 40th Army on the 5th. There was no wind at the departure point where they were, and they had been waiting for the wind. On the afternoon of the 10th, the sky over the strait was overcast, and the long-awaited north wind finally came. Head Xu led the fleet to cut through the waves and sail towards the southeast with the wind.At dusk, the wind force increased to level 7, huge waves surged like mountains, thunder and lightning flashed in the sky, and torrential rain poured down.The fleet quickly lost its formation, and wooden sailboats appeared and disappeared in the huge waves, appearing and disappearing. One of the boats was damaged by a huge wave, and sea water poured into the cabin. Li Xiangsan, the deputy company commander, fired for help, but all the ships were struggling in the huge waves and could not approach.Li Xiangsan ordered the soldiers to untie their knapsacks, plug the holes with quilts, resist with their bodies, and persist until they landed. After dark, the formation of the fleet was scattered and unable to communicate, so they had to fight against the wind and waves and act independently according to the scheduled route.Xu Fangchun, who was in command of the boat, had no choice but to lose sight of the lanterns and flags.It was impossible for him to report this situation to the shore. When he set sail, he did not set up a radio station for concealment. Now that the turbid waves have cleared and the ship is dancing wildly on the sea, even people can't stand up. It is not easy to set up a radio station. At dawn on March 11, the sky was slightly bright, and the wind weakened, but the waves were still very strong.Head Xu raised his binoculars to observe the sea, and found that the fleet was scattered on the wide sea, far away from each other.His command ship landed near Luma Ridge at 9:00 am.The enemy mobile sentry on the shore found a fishing boat approaching the shore, and when he was hesitating, a burst of machine guns fired, and he ran away in fright.Xu Fangchun landed smoothly, and two boats also docked nearby.He immediately ordered the establishment of a radio station and reported to the army commander Li Zuopeng: "I have landed, and the details are to be reported." Afterwards, he led more than 100 people in three boats to the left side of the coast to join other landing personnel. Battalion Commander Sun Youli commanded several boats to dock near Chishui Port, where fierce fighting broke out. After breaking through the enemy's beachhead, they quickly entered the coconut grove and headed towards Longma Town, the first assembly point. On the morning of March 12, Commander Xu and Commander Sun successively joined forces with the Qiongzong troops who came to meet them in Longma Town.Counting the number of people, it was found that 18 ships landed successfully, and 3 ships were missing.Later, I learned that one ship did not land until the afternoon due to ship repairs. Under the cover of the local party organization, it finally returned to the team after many twists and turns; the other ship lost most of the battle with the enemy after landing; There was a shipwreck. The next day, Li Zuopeng and Zhang Chiming called Xu Fangchun: The first batch of summary reports on the successful smuggling of the two reinforced battalions were submitted to Deng Hua's desk, and Deng Hua began to consider organizing larger-scale smuggling to accumulate experience and create conditions for the main force's final landing.The first two smuggling landing points were selected on the east and west sides where the enemy's defenses were weak. As a result, the plan for landing before dawn was not realized due to the long voyage. breakthrough.According to intelligence analysis, Xue Yue defended the front of the strait with most of the army, navy and air force. Deng Hua was determined to explore the reality of the so-called "Trinity" "Boling Line of Defense". On the evening of March 26, a strong northeasterly wind blew again in the Qiongzhou Strait. The 118th Division of the 40th Army had a reinforced regiment of 2,991 people, divided into 72 wooden sailboats and 9 motor sailboats, led by Liu Zhenhua, director of the division's Political Department , starting from the Denglou corner of the Leizhou Peninsula, riding the wind and waves, and heading straight to the other shore. Liu Zhenhua's command ship was a modified sailboat, and standing beside him to assist in command was Ma Baishan, the deputy commander of Qiongzong.Ma Baishan attended the CPPCC meeting as a representative of Qiongzong and the people of Hainan. He offered to fight back to Hainan with the army. The setting sun reflected the undulating sea, and the gulls flew up and down among the fleets, making bursts of melodious cries.The soldiers on the expedition talked and laughed while pointing to the magnificent scenery on the sea.After several months of training at sea, the "Siberian tiger" on land gradually turned into a sea dragon.Since they entered the customs, they have been invincible for thousands of miles, and now they are confident in chasing and destroying the remnants of the enemy across the sea. Night fell over the sea, and the red taillights of the ship flickered in the white sea.Liu Zhenhua held up the binoculars and counted the taillights one after another, and said excitedly: "The formation is in good shape!" Ma Baishan said worriedly: "Director Liu, the waves are getting smaller and smaller, and the wind will stop soon..." Liu Zhenhua took out his handkerchief. Sure enough, the wind was much weaker, and the handkerchief was weakly shaken.He stared anxiously at the undulating waves, and silently prayed in his heart, "The wind will stop, the wind will stop..." But the sky was not beautiful, and the sea soon calmed down, like a big shining mirror. "If this continues, will we be able to land before dawn?" Liu Zhenhua turned to Ma Baishan and said, "Now the journey is less than one-third." Ma Baishan said: "The entire voyage is only a dozen nautical miles. It is not impossible to replace the wind with manpower and try to land before dawn." "Okay!" Liu Zhenhua said to the signaler, "Signal to the ships, row the oars, and move on!" The ships received the signal, lowered their sails, and began to squeaky and row their oars, and the boards and gun stocks became tools for paddling. In the middle of the night, the sea was filled with white fog, and it was impossible to see anything three meters away.Just at this time, the night patrol enemy plane flew over the fleet, and the sound of the warship's motor came from afar.Liu Zhenhua was nervous for a while, worried that the fleet might be exposed.But I couldn't see the enemy plane when I looked up, and I couldn't see the warship when I looked around. I only heard its sound but couldn't see its shadow. God still did a beautiful thing, covering the fleet with a curtain of thick fog.The patrolling warships and planes soon returned. At 3 o'clock in the morning on March 27, Liu Zhenhua received a radio report from the 92nd Artillery Company: "An enemy gunboat is coming towards me. The situation is urgent. We can't dodge it in time. Should the enemy fire first?" The ships of the 92nd Artillery Company are refitted "earth gunboats", which install infantry artillery on wooden sailboats and take on the task of escorting the fleet. "Since you can't hide, let's act first and fight!" Liu Zhenhua ordered decisively. Soon there was rumble of cannons on the sea, and the wooden ship beat the iron ship away.In this short naval battle, two wooden sailing ships were sunk. Han Xianchu called to ask: "How far is the fleet from the landing point? Where is it?" At that time, the dense fog had not yet dissipated, and Liu Zhenhua and Ma Baishan looked around anxiously, but they couldn't see anything except a few wooden sailboats faintly visible nearby. Ten minutes later, the sky gradually brightened, and the outline of a mountain suddenly appeared in front of it. Ma Baishan said: "There is no doubt that it is Hainan Island, but I can't tell where it is on the island." Soon, there was intense gunfire and grenade explosions on the right front.Ma Baishan said: "It is estimated that the response force and the enemy have engaged. It seems that we have deviated from the scheduled landing point by about 30 nautical miles. It will take two or three hours to rush to Lingaojiao. It is already dawn. In order to avoid confrontation with enemy aircraft and It is better to land nearby than warships to fight.” Liu Zhenhua unfolded the military map, and the coast in front of him was Yubao Port in Chengmai County, and that area was the area where the enemy's heavy troops were concentrated.Under the expectant eyes of Ma Baishan and others, Liu Zhenhua thought nervously and said decisively: "The mountains of swords and seas of fire have to be forcibly broken through, and we are going to land forcibly!" Liu Zhenhua used the wireless telegraph to order the battalions: "Come closer to me and prepare to land!" The commanders of each battalion asked urgently on the intercom: "The fog is too thick for us to see the direction clearly. Where are you?" "My boat turns on the motor, and you listen to the sound and approach me." However, there were only 3 ships nearby that could hear the sound of motors, and Liu Zhenhua could only command 4 ships to forcibly land. At this time, the enemy on the shore found that 4 ships were forcibly breaking through the blockade with floating mines, and quickly blocked them with firepower.All of a sudden, there was loud gunfire, and dense jets of water splashed around the ship.A motor sailing boat was shot, the motor rumbled but the hull could not move, the boat immediately switched to manpower rowing and rowing to continue forward.Li Guangwen, the deputy head of the regiment, was slightly injured, and Zhang Zhidong, the director of the political department of the regiment, was seriously injured, killing more than a dozen soldiers. Liu Zhenhua ordered the radio station to report to the military: "We will land immediately." As soon as the telegram was sent, an enemy plane swooped down and fired at the command ship. Dozens of bullets hit the stern of the ship, knocking down the sailor at the rudder, and a soldier rushed up to take over the rudder; Three soldiers were on the bench... In less than 10 minutes, seven or eight people were injured at the helm. Liu Zhenhua was deeply moved by the heroic behavior of the soldiers. He grabbed the carbine, jumped into the water first, and charged towards the beach. More than 200 people in 4 ships, under the leadership of Liu Zhenhua and Ma Baishan, quickly occupied the enemy's position in Yubao Port.The telegraph operator died during the charge, and the transmitter and wireless telegraph were also damaged, making it impossible to report to the superior, and unable to use the radio to carry out command.Liu Zhenhua said to the combat staff around him: "Fire three red flares and light three bonfires to guide other ships to land here." Within ten minutes, seven or eight ships successfully landed in Yubao Port.At the same time, fierce fighting was taking place all over the east and west coasts.Due to the influence of dense fog and the impact of countercurrents, the ships of the reinforced regiment were scattered in the sea area of ​​20 kilometers from east to west. At dawn, they landed successively from the wide front of Linshi Port to Baichuan Port. The red sun rose slowly from the sea level in the east, the fog on the sea began to drift away, and the landing operation was still going on fiercely.The most tragic scene happened on Leigong Island.This is a peninsula extending 2 kilometers into the sea at low tide, and becomes an isolated island surrounded by water at high tide.Three ships landed on the island at dawn, and more than 100 warriors and a reinforced battalion defending the enemy fought bloody battles on the island for two days and nights, killing and injuring more than 200 enemies. At noon in the battle, except for a few ships, most of the reinforced regiments successfully landed, and the two defending regiments were defeated. Liu Zhenhua and Ma Baishan led their troops to the Wuzhishan base area.On the way, he fought bloody battles with the enemy for fourteen days and nights, and finally joined forces with Qiong Zong in victory. The landing area was originally a key defensive area of ​​the enemy, but the landing was unexpectedly so smooth.It was only after Liu Zhenhua and Qiong Zong joined forces that they found out the truth of the matter.It turned out that Qiongzong's two regiments and the first batch of pioneer battalions who landed were ordered to support the reinforced regiment to land at Lingaojiao. They were discovered by the enemy when they arrived at the designated area at night. Xue Yue immediately judged that Lingaojiao must be a new smuggling point and would be deployed in Chengmai A main division in the area was transferred to Lingaojiao overnight, which inadvertently formed a "turning the tiger away from the mountain", making the real landing zone relatively weak in enemy forces, while Lingaojiao became the most intense battlefield. The news that the reinforcement regiment of the 40th Army had successfully landed in Chengmai County made Li Zuopeng, the commander of the 43rd Army, unable to sit still any longer.For the first batch of smuggling, the Corps ordered the two armies to send a reinforced battalion to carry out the smuggling at the same time. Unfortunately, the 43rd Army had no wind at the crossing point, allowing the 40th Army to take the lead.The second batch sent a strengthening group to smuggle in, but was preempted by others. Originally, the reinforced regiment of the 43rd Army planned to sail on March 24 and 26, but it was abandoned due to the unfavorable wind direction. The predecessor of the 43rd Army was the 6th Column, which was one of the first three columns formed north of the Songhua River after the Battle of Siping. It was basically the main force of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army. The "Ye Ting Independent Regiment" in the Northern Expedition was involved.Many classic battles in the history of war, such as forcibly crossing the Wujiang River, outsmarting Zunyi, crossing Chishui four times, flying over the Luding Bridge, breaking through the natural barrier Lazikou, and winning Pingxingguan, all have the participation of the 43rd Army. "The 43rd Army is the main force of the four fields, and it has never been behind. Alas! God can't be partial." Li Zuopeng drove towards the sea in a jeep. Overcast clouds covered his head, and it seemed that there was going to be a strong wind. He had to seize this opportunity. He rushed to the headquarters of the 127th Division, where division commander Wang Dongbao was presiding over a meeting and was preparing to cross the sea that night.Li Zuopeng took out a document from his briefcase and said: "I tell you a very good news. The 40th Army Reinforced Regiment, with nearly 3,000 members, successfully landed in Yubao Port at dawn on the 27th. You must learn from the 40th Army Reinforced Regiment and strive for greater glory!" Although the two batches of smuggling by the 43rd Army were half a beat slower in time, they were both larger in scale than the 40th Army.The smuggling plans to dispatch 3733 people and 88 ships. Two very capable and dark-faced Hainanese attended the meeting. One was Chen Shuo, director of propaganda of the Qiongbei District Committee, and the other was Xu Qingzhou, director of propaganda of Fuhai District.The two had just returned from participating in the Youth Congress in Beijing, and decided to fight back to Hainan with the army. At 10:00 p.m. on March 31, three red signal flares were fired into the night sky, and 88 ships raised their sails at the same time, divided into left, middle, and right columns, and sailed to the other side of the strait.The command ship of the division commander Wang Dongbao was located in the right column, and Chen Shuo and Xu Qingzhou were on the same boat to assist in command.Under the reflection of the lightning, the fleet maintained a neat formation, and the bright rain line flew obliquely into the sea. After sailing for 2 hours, the fleet approached the mainstream sea area of ​​the strait. At this time, the wind stopped and the rain stopped, and the noisy sea suddenly calmed down. Wang Dongbao scolded: "Damn, you're out of luck!" Then he ordered the oars to move on.At that time, each wooden sailboat was equipped with one scull and six oars. After receiving orders, each boat began to row hard according to the predetermined plan. At about 1 o'clock in the middle of the night on April 1, the sound of the engine of the plane came from the sky, and the two flares illuminated the sea as bright as day, completely exposing the fleet.The plane strafed at low altitude for a while, maybe there were no flares, and it dropped a few bombs indiscriminately before returning. "The escort team is ready for battle." Wang Dongbao issued an order through the intercom, "Prepare to meet the enemy ships. We must entangle the warships and cover the main fleet to pass safely." A few minutes later, the flickering flames of the naval guns were seen in the front right, and the dazzling ballistic trajectory illuminated the sea surface, and high water columns were set off from time to time in the middle of the fleet. The three wooden sailboats of the escort team "Red Five Company" were the closest to the enemy ship, and they rushed towards the enemy ship bravely under heavy artillery fire. 3:3, 1 patrol ship and 2 gunboats confronted 3 small wooden boats.In order to make the most effective use of the power of infantry weapons, the three wooden boats approached the enemy ship calmly, and did not fire together until a distance of 200 meters.The bazooka and the 60 guns hit one after another, the machine guns and submachine guns shot the "iron guy" into flames, and finally even the grenade was thrown on the warship. After only one round of fighting, the big ship fled with thick smoke. Seeing that the situation was not good, the two gunboats behind quickly turned around and fled. Three small wooden boats defeated three warships. Another warship sailed on the left side of the fleet, and the three wooden sailboats of the Ninth Company of the escort team immediately rushed up to fight with the enemy ship. Wang Dongbao ordered the main fleet to move forward, and the convoy stayed behind to cover.At this time, a northeasterly wind blew on the sea, and the fleet braved the wind and waves, and soon left the naval theater. The 1st Regiment of Qiongzong and the Pioneer Battalion of the 43rd Army, who were responding at the scheduled landing point, heard the rumble of sea artillery and realized that the landing fleet was approaching, so they launched an attack on the defending enemy. Seeing the sudden sound of gunfire ahead, Wang Dongbao said excitedly: "We are coming to shore soon! The responding troops are fighting with the enemy." At 4:30 in the morning, the fleet forcibly landed in the area of ​​Tashi, 90 miles east of Haikou City.The heavy machine guns and mortars on the ship fired fiercely towards the shore, and the warriors jumped down to the beach to charge.The defending enemy was flanked before and after, and soon fell apart. Wang Dongbao's No. 1 ship and Song Weishi's No. 2 ship, the political commissar of the division, docked side by side. They led the first echelon to break through the barbed wire, conquered more than a dozen bunkers in a row, wiped out two enemy companies, captured more than 100 people, and quickly occupied the landing site. At 6:30, the Qiongzong 1st Regiment led by Liu Rong and the Pioneer Battalion led by Xu Fangchun fought to the seaside, and the two sides successfully joined forces. At dawn, the number of people was counted, and it was found that only the eighth and ninth companies of the convoy had not landed, and there were no ships in the waters near the landing site. After discussing with Liu Rong, Wang Dongbao, Song Weishi and Liu Rong decided to expand the results of the battle and attack the enemy positions on both sides.An enemy regiment headquarters, 2 infantry companies and 1 machine gun company were quickly wiped out, and more than 200 people below the deputy head were captured.After the victory of the battle near the landing field, the troops began to attack the enemy in depth. Xue Yue found out that the "communist army" had actually landed under his nose, and became angry from embarrassment. He immediately mobilized troops through the Haikou-Lingshan Highway in an attempt to force the landing "communist army" back to the beach and annihilate them in one fell swoop. In the afternoon of the same day, the enemy quickly deployed a new line of defense along the highway.王东保率部挺进到公路附近，见两侧山头均被敌军占领，下令强攻，黄昏前一举突破敌防线，连夜转进至琼山县云龙乡一带。 4月2日，薛岳派第32军军长李玉堂率4个主力团分三路向云龙乡“进剿”。 4月3日夜，登陆部队转移至钟瑞一带，立足未稳，发现敌人又从几个方向逼来了。 “光躲不打是解决不了问题的，”王东保铺开地图愤然道，“只有打痛敌人，才能摆脱薛岳的围追堵截。” 宋维栻若有所思地说：“这个薛岳有'老虎仔'的绰号，红军长征时，他是我们最凶恶的敌人，从江西一路追到陕甘，搞得我们很被动。此一时，彼一时，他还想故伎重演是打错了算盘！” “对！吃掉他一路，给他点颜色瞧瞧！” 4月4日中午12时，王师长和宋政委将作战决心向刘荣、徐芳春通报。刘、徐均表示同意。王东保对琼纵第1团的实力不了解，怕他们顶不住当面之敌的进攻，于是问：“刘荣同志，你们能不能顶住敌人1个团的进攻？” 刘荣笑道：“没问题！” 王东保见他满有信心的样子很高兴：“我观察这两天的战斗，你们武器虽差，但是很勇敢。现在敌人分三路进攻我们，从蓬莱方向来的那路要经过你们阵地，你们一定要在龙虎坡将敌挡住，以便我们歼灭从大坡方向来的那一路。从南阳方向来的一路动作迟缓，一时还赶不到，正利于我各个击破。” 刘荣猛拍大腿：“好哇！你放心干吧，我保证不让一兵一卒闯过龙虎坡！” 下午1时，龙虎坡阻击战打响了，那一带山头灌木丛生，敌机投掷燃烧弹将阵地化为一片火海。敌军见守阵的是“土共”，气焰十分嚣张，在强大炮火的支援下连续发起疯狂进攻。一轮轮攻势迅速瓦解，被大火烧焦的山坡上躺满了尸体。琼纵第1团也伤亡很大，不少阵地多次出现拉锯战，有一个连只剩下30多人，但他们仍然牢牢地控制着龙虎坡。 下午5时，王东保率部向大坡之敌发起总攻，仅半个小时即全歼一个主力团，敌团长被击毙，副团长以下1000余人被俘。 薛岳的分进合击计划遭到彻底失败，他预感到“共军”大规模登陆作战恐怕为期不远了，即将“围剿”琼崖纵队的主力匆忙调到沿海一带布防，同时令海空军加紧巡逻，严防“共军”渡海，并派飞机每天越过海峡去监视和轰炸集结在雷州半岛的船队。 薛岳在海口市郊的五公祠寝食难安，蒋介石让他经营海南岛，以便与台湾遥相呼应，他一度有做“海南王”的美梦。可是，海陆空立体防御的“伯陵防线”如此脆弱，先后有4股“共军”窜犯上岛，一次比一次闹得凶，这回居然能一口吃掉一个主力团！他不敢设想窜犯上岛的共军到底有多少兵力。连偷渡上来的这几股都对付不了，他还敢做梦当“海南王”吗？ 想到这里，他的心头涌起一股悲凉，该步白健生的后尘上台湾岛了。他不想当“光杆司令”，于是致电台湾，要求蒋总裁派兵增援海南岛。这是“老虎仔”的一条诡计，明知台湾岌岌可危，蒋总裁绝不可能派兵前来，言外之意是弃守海南，撤兵台湾，这样一来他将来在台湾就不会像“小诸葛”那样寂寞了。 岂料蒋总裁并不想放弃海南岛，令他加紧战备，确保“海南复兴基地”。蒋介石象征性地调来3艘军舰，以支援海南抗登陆作战。薛岳无可奈何，只好将他有限的兵力在漫长的海岸线上一线摆开，结果处处设防，处处薄弱。 The Leizhou Peninsula was already very hot in March in Yangchun. Deng Hua, the commander of the Crossing the Sea Corps, was wandering by the sea under the scorching sun.沙滩上水汽蒸腾，使视野的景物飘忽不定。Everyone in the Corps is paying attention to one issue - the northeast wind!The winding coastline is full of hanging bamboo poles, which are the "weather vanes" for various ministries to test the wind. 第二批偷渡成功后，第40军首长向兵团建议“停止小批偷渡，提前发起最后登陆作战”。 韩先楚、解方他们的理由是：敌人已经停止“清剿”琼纵，将主力调到海边布防，又有四次教训，不可能再轻易让我偷渡成功。这种“逐渐添油”的办法，迟早会吓跑敌人。每次偷渡船只大部去多回少，使主力最后登陆将会因船不够而难以形成拳头。 邓华经过长时间的思考，决心于谷雨前后发起大规模登陆作战。 4月8日，邓华致电四野和军委：第二批登陆成功，证明只要我们有足够的船只，充分地做准备，很好地利用风潮，在岛上部队的接应下，是可以在正面的任何一处强行登陆的……第三批决定组织6～7个团的兵力，争取于谷雨前后在花场和临高以北地区强行登陆。 The next day, Lin Biao and Deng Zi resumed telegrams agreeing to the above proposal. 4月10日，邓华在徐闻县赤坎主持军事会议，决定将两个军的主力部队分为第一、第二梯队随时候风渡海。 The first echelon is divided into the East and West Route Army with a total of 25,000 people. The 6 regiments of the 40th Army are the West Route Army, and the 2 regiments of the 43rd Army are the East Route Army. It belongs to the 40th Army, and Edong belongs to the 43rd Army.Han Xianchu led the army command post to cross the sea with the first echelon. The second echelon is composed of the main force of the 43rd Army, about 20,000 people, and follows up with the first echelon.Deng Hua led the Corps Command Post to cross the sea with the second echelon. 随后两个军进入临战状态，雷州半岛南端弯弯曲曲的海岸线上泊满了大大小小的木帆船，樯橹如云，连绵数十里。岸上兵营里的战士打好背包，备足了粮弹，只待一声号令，就可登船南征。 正是“万事俱备，只欠东风”。 这些天来，邓华和各军首长遍访渔村，向那些富有经验的老船工请教，何时有东北风？4月15日，一位七旬老人拂着胸前的银须，十分肯定地说：“明天要刮东北风。” 邓华听到这个消息十分振奋，为了进一步证实老人的预言，他又连续访问了十几位老船工，他们虽然说得不很肯定，但都说近几天应该有东北风。 当日，邓华正式下达准备强渡琼州海峡，大举登岛作战的命令。 4月16日，各师团进入一级战备。拂晓无风，将士们望着平静的港湾和沙滩上的“土风向标”十分失望。上午9时，竹竿上的布条开始飘动。 “起风啦！起风啦……” 监视风向的值班员兴奋得大叫起来，可仔细一看，风向不对，布条都是向岸上方向飘的——南风！ 邓华吃过午饭见猎猎作响的红旗仍在向南飘动，顿时心里没底了。风向能扭过来吗？他身经百战，最能理解临战前的一刹那是最折磨人的，就像一张拉开的弓引而不发，时间一长，射手必会筋疲力尽。 他耐着性子在烈日下亲自观察风向，细心的他很快就发现了一个秘密，飘动的旗子正以肉眼难以察觉的慢动作绕着旗杆缓缓旋动。到下午4时，旗子开始朝西南方飘动，而且风力不断增大，海边的“土风向标”被吹倒了一大片。 黄昏后，2万将士纷纷登船，岸上挤满了送行的军民，一首新编的《渡海作战歌》唱得响彻云霄： At 17:40, 12 red flares flew into the sky, and more than 350 wooden sailboats pulled up their sails at the same time. The sound of anchoring and swaying accompanied by louder and louder singing made the scene of the warriors set off extraordinarily majestic. 韩先楚站在1号船上凝视着波涛汹涌的海面，随着霞光渐渐消退，他明显感到背后的风开始减弱了。 The fleet traveled 20 miles, and the sea suddenly became calm. “娘的，盼了这么多天的风，就吹几下子，老天爷真会捉弄人！”韩先楚猛擂粗大的桅杆，厉声道，“命令各团摇橹划桨继续前进！” 晚上10时，船队刚驶至海峡主流，突然两声闷响，照明弹像天灯一样悬挂在空中，将海面照得雪亮。 韩先楚抓起无线电报话机，大声对炮兵主任黄宇说：“左前方发现敌舰，护航队立即迎战，掩护主力船队通过。” 黄宇率领的护航队共有“土炮艇”16只，陆地上的“战争之神”将战防炮、山炮安装到木船上，他们曾在陆战中战绩辉煌，现在又要书写海战史上的奇篇。 The enemy fleet fired wildly at the fleet. With the flash of artillery fire, Huang Yu quickly discovered that there were 7 ships in front of the left.He ordered the convoy to speed up and face the enemy fleet head-on.For a while, the sound of gunfire on the sea surface was rumbling, and the ballistic trajectory was like weaving.The enemy ships learned the lessons of the previous naval battles and did not dare to engage in close combat. Seeing the "earth gunboats" rushing one after another, they were frightened and quickly avoided.有一艘军舰企图摆脱护航队去冲击主力船队。After Huang Yu found out, he immediately ordered his command ship to meet him, and hit the middle of the enemy ship with anti-aircraft artillery at a distance of 100 meters.The enemy ship was shot and caught fire, and withdrew from the battle with billowing smoke. 海战正酣之时，突然刮起了东风，韩先楚即令主力船队加速前进，很快就冲过了水急浪高的中流。 与此同时，第43军护航队的5艘“土炮艇”同敌3艘军舰展开了激战。指挥船是一艘改装的机帆船，配1门山炮，其他4艘为木帆船，各配1门战防炮。步兵们在海上大展雄风，用大炮和重机枪打得3艘军舰掉头逃窜。第43军船队的90多只帆船顺利冲破敌舰的拦截。 After Han Xianchu led the main fleet away from the naval theater, Huang Yu's convoy stood between the enemy fleet and the main fleet, and continued to fight the enemy with infantry artillery.In the fierce artillery battle, the "earth gunboats" were injured one after another and kept withdrawing from the battle.战至4月17日凌晨5时，报话机里传来韩先楚的声音：“军主力全部胜利登陆，'炮艇队'已完成护航任务。你们按计划掩护空船返航。”此时，护航队只剩5艘木帆船。 At dawn, a large number of empty ships returning north sailed to the middle of the strait, and Huang Yu ordered five "earth gunboats" to drive out the enemy ships again.It was a clear morning with excellent visibility.在蓝天碧海之间出现了令人拍案叫绝的一幕，弹痕累累的木帆船将庞大的军舰追得四处逃窜。 Huang Yu's command ship bit an enemy ship and chased and fought. The enemy ship was fast and quickly escaped out of the range of the anti-aircraft artillery.Huang Yu ordered to stop shooting and continued to pursue.此时从后面突然蹿上来一艘更大的军舰，黄宇举起望远镜一看，不由得倒吸一口冷气，那军舰就像一栋大楼，周身遍插各种口径的火器，如此庞大的军舰出现在琼州海峡还是第一次。那艘巨舰并不开炮，刀一样锋利的舰艏犁开海水，使得浪花向两侧高高溅起。 "The enemy wants to sink our wooden boat. It seems that our army has never tasted the power of close combat!" In order to confuse the enemy, Huang Yu ordered to cover the anti-aircraft artillery with a tarpaulin, and cut a slit in the tarpaulin with a bayonet for aiming . The name of this warship is "Taiping", which has just been transferred from Taiwan for reinforcements, and Lieutenant General Wang Enhua, commander of the 3rd Fleet, will use it as the flagship.The all-night naval battle kept Wang Enhua up all night. He was afraid of night battles and waited until dawn before going into battle himself.He stood on the bridge and held up the binoculars to search the sea, and soon found a wooden boat covered with tarpaulins haunting the crests and valleys. “靠上去，抓活的。”王恩华戴着雪白的手套，指着前方的木船对身旁的舰长说，“那可能是一艘满载军用物资的运输船。” The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and the enemy captain ordered the sailors to "catch alive".The sailors immediately rushed to the ship's side from the gun positions and cabins, holding ropes and hooked poles, ready to "catch" the wooden boat. 王恩华放下望远镜，用肉眼已能看得十分真切，木船的白帆千疮百孔，破布片随风飘舞。船身弹痕累累。At a distance of 200 meters, the tarpaulin on the wooden boat was su
