Chapter 295 Beyond visual range strike

West Sea, near Liumen Reef.

Two fishing boats and a small sand dredger are carrying out reclamation and island building operations.

The "fisherman" in charge of leading the team is named Ding Wen'an. His true identity is a sergeant in a certain unit in Annan. He is also a well-known figure among the lower ranks of the navy.

Therefore, being sent to the sea to fill in the islands actually made him feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.

What he longs for is a real battle - even though the whole Annan is now frightened, he still feels that those so-called fourth-generation fighter jets are nothing more than paper tigers.

He had seen those fighter jets taking off from a distance. Their vertical take-off and landing efficiency was very low, and their defenses were almost non-existent.

If our own side can seize the opponent's opportunity to take off by observing closely, and then use frogmen to carry portable air defense missiles, it can destroy a so-called fourth-generation aircraft with just one shot.

This tactic does not need to consider the impact of the opponent's radar, and the cost is very low.

Even if it fails, it will only result in the loss of a few worthless soldiers at most.

——

No, you don't even need to lose soldiers.

If it fails, the attackers will definitely not be soldiers, but angry civilians

This is the perfect strategy.

But why doesn’t the superior agree?

Ding Wen'an was confused, but couldn't resist, so he could only lead other "fishermen" to build islands in the sea day after day.

Fortunately, this work was not meaningless. In more than a year, they built more than a dozen islands of various sizes on the sea.

The area of ​​these islands is far smaller than that of Treasure Island. Not to mention the airport, most of them are difficult to even build a helipad.

But he is confident that as long as they develop slowly, these small islands will eventually build bases and ports and become the front line against China.

However, this future seems a bit far away.

Thinking of this, Ding Wen'an sighed and said to the busy fishermen:

"Speed ​​up, we don't have much time!"

"In two hours, it will be the other party's routine patrol time."

"If you don't want to get into trouble, just finish the job quickly!"

"Someone will come over tomorrow to check. If the goal is not achieved, all of us will not be able to live well!"

Upon hearing his words, the fishermen immediately sped up their movements, and even the engine of the small sand dredger roared louder, but the expression of the adjutant beside them changed.

He looked at Ding Wen'an with a grimace and said:

"Sir, it's not that we don't want to hurry, but the tasks assigned by our superiors are too heavy recently, aren't they?"

"We only have seven or eight hours a day to create fifty square meters of ground. How is this possible?"

"Even if there is a dredger, the efficiency cannot be as fast as that."

"You also know that the water depth here is relatively deep, and the dredger is not very useful."

Hearing his words, Ding Wen'an couldn't help but sigh.

Yes, this kind of small dredger is really not very useful.

If you really want to bring about fundamental changes in your own island-building work, you have to use giant sand dredgers like those Chinese people.

——

My own country originally had a giant sand dredger, the Haiyan.

Unfortunately, on the first day after it was launched into the water, during the confrontation with the Chinese Whale, the "Petrel" was severely damaged.

Not only did it break down on the spot, but even after finally escaping, it has not yet recovered its functions.

The reason is also very simple - all those damn foreign engineers have evacuated Vietnam. No matter how threatened or tempted the military is, they are unwilling to set foot in Vietnam again and only agree to provide remote technical guidance.

But what skills can those foreign engineers in the shipyard have?

I heard that when the ship was being built, they were only focused on making money and did not learn any real skills at all.

Now they need to get started with the operation, and it is normal for them to make a mess.

When you are in a high position, you must shoot these people!

——

Of course it's not because they are greedy, Ding Wen'an himself is also greedy.

It's because they are greedy and do nothing!

Ding Wen'an clenched his fists, glanced around, then took off his pants and walked into the water with the adjutant.

I have no choice but to do it myself.

Fortunately, he is not a pampered young soldier. Although he is unwilling to do such dirty and tiring work, he often does it when the task is urgent.

Now I don’t find it difficult to do it.

However, whether it is difficult is one thing, and whether it is hard work is another matter.

The midday sun was so fierce that even wearing a straw hat, he felt his head getting hot one after another, and he could only keep soaking the straw hat to cool down.

As a result, the evaporated seawater left behind salt, which turned the hair into hard lumps and the scalp began to become dry, cracked and stinging, which was unbearable.

As the angle of the sun decreases, the sunlight reflected by the water surface becomes more and more dazzling. Most of the time, Ding Wen'an even works with his eyes closed.

The lower body that had been soaked in water for a long time was the most comfortable part of the body, but the rapid loss of water still made him feel uncomfortable.

He even had some strange ideas:

If you keep soaking in water like this, your dignity as a man will not be affected, right?

This thought made him tremble. He quickly jumped on the ground and wrung out his underwear.

The adjutant on the side saw this and went ashore to rest. While drinking water, he flattered:

"Sir, you are the most diligent among all the teams."

"Not only did you plan it well, but you also did it yourself. The brothers all admire you."

"Otherwise, if you asked everyone to speed up, why wouldn't anyone object? If it were placed in other groups, these unruly people would have started making trouble long ago."

Hearing this, Ding Wen'an couldn't help but smile.

He took a breath and said with affectation:

"There is no way, our task is indeed very heavy."

"We built an island of tens of thousands square meters piece by piece, and everyone has tried their best."

"We are pretty good. The shifts I arranged are reasonable and no one suffers too much."

"Go and look at other groups. A lot of them are sick and have to go to the hospital. Some even commit suicide by jumping into the sea because they can't stand the hard work."

At this point, Ding Wen'an changed the topic.

"But we have to understand that what we do is meaningful."

"You see, although the facilities on this island are still very basic, brick and stone barracks have also been built."

"We built this bit by bit. Everyone here has carried the bricks of the barracks."

"It won't be long before the barracks here will be officially opened - by then, as long as our people move in, even those Chinese people will not dare to act rashly."

"This is huge progress and our glory"

The adjutant secretly pursed his lips and thought to himself:

What kind of glory is that, at best, it is just your "credit".

However, after thinking about it, I realized that what Ding Wen'an said made some sense.

Whenever you look at a place that you have built brick by brick, you will still feel a sense of accomplishment.

It was really difficult at that time. It was difficult to even stand on a small reef.

Now, the conditions are much better.

He suddenly felt that he had motivation again.

Perhaps this is indeed the case. Even if no tangible benefits are obtained, this kind of spiritual satisfaction will make people feel happy.

This is probably the reason why the Chinese side is always full of fighting power.

He sighed, stood up again, picked up his tools and walked into the water.

Ding Wen'an also followed closely behind.

After working for more than an hour, seeing that today's tasks for the day were basically completed, Ding Wen'an put down his tools and walked ashore, calling everyone to get on the boat and prepare to leave.
