Rebirth of the Flying Era

At the same time that Du Fei arrived in Kuching, it was located east of Xigong, at the mouth of the Mekong River, and in the Vung Tau Naval Base.

Wu Chunfu was looking anxious at this time, rubbing his hands and circling back and forth in an office.

At this moment, the door of the room was opened, and a young officer came in and said: "Mr. Wu, sir, please come over."

Wu Chunfu breathed a sigh of relief and had a little rest. He immediately followed him out and arrived at the large office on the top floor of the base building.

“Spring Festival is here~” A thin old man in his sixties in the office smiled and motioned for him to sit down.

“Uncle Ruan.” Wu Chunfu took two steps, came to the old man, and said with a grimace: “You are really calm. What time has it been? The Northern Army has already entered Xicong...”

The old man's expression was meaningful: "They can come as they come. I have dozens of warships that can go to sea at any time. Can they still chase them into the sea?"

Wu Chunfu's heart moved, and he heard the implication of the other party's words. The most critical words in this sentence were the words "you can go to sea at any time."

 The meaning is also very obvious, that is, wait for the price to sell, and you can leave at any time as long as the price is agreed upon.

Hearing this meaning, Wu Chunfu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that the other party would be stubborn.

Since it's not the case now, it's much easier to handle. He doesn't believe that Hanoi can offer a higher price than him.

"Uncle Ruan, I understand. Just tell me what conditions you have." Wu Chunfu immediately vowed and patted his chest.

 The old man raised his eyebrows, but asked instead, "Are you here on behalf of Kuching?"

At this point, Wu Chunfu had nothing to hide. He nodded and admitted: "Now that America is gone, looking at the whole of Nanyang, who do you think can afford a higher price than Kuching?"

The old man pursed his lips. This was indeed true. He asked, "What did they say?"

Wu Chunfu came closer and said: "As long as you can bring the main ship here, one million US dollars in cash..."

The old man frowned and sneered: "Dozens of warships and twenty helicopters are worth one million US dollars?"

Wu Chunfu was not anxious anymore. What he was afraid of was that the other party would not get the oil and salt. Now that he had entered the bargaining stage, he calmed down and said with a smile: "Uncle, if it is normal, these ships and planes will definitely cost more than this, but the problem is What's the situation now? The Northern Army will arrive as early as tomorrow morning. What will you do then?"

 The old man asked, "Can't I surrender?"

Wu Chunfu said: "Why do you have to say angry words? You know better than me what the situation of the Northern Army is. If we really want to surrender, let alone the million, it is not certain whether your whole family can survive."

 The old man was furious: "You threaten me!"

Wu Chunfu put away his smile and said in a deep voice: "Uncle, this is not a threat, I am just reminding you. Although this million US dollars is not a big amount to you, as long as you take the people and the boat to Kuching, you can You are a meritorious minister, and you are not forced to surrender. You are a smart man, what should you do... I don’t need to say more~"

 The old man lowered his eyes and quickly thought about the pros and cons.

 After a moment, he raised his head and said, "I want two million U.S. dollars in money and a seat as a representative of the Kingdom Conference."

 The former is for economic interests, while the latter representative of the Kingdom Council is for the protection of political integrity.

Wu Chunfu immediately nodded and agreed: "No problem, two million U.S. dollars, one kingdom will know the number of representatives."

Before coming, Chen Fangshi gave him great authority. This matter was directly arranged by Du Fei. As long as he could get the remaining ships from South Vietnam, it would be worth paying any price.

 Because this is not just a ship, but a matter of trade-offs between the two sides.

　　Previously, the Northern Army had almost no navy, and only some small boats that were not popular.

 If they were allowed to inherit South Vietnam's navy, the situation would completely change.

At that time, the Conlun Island and Phu Quy Island that Du Fei previously occupied will definitely not be able to be defended, including those islands in the South China Sea close to the coastline of South Vietnam.

So Du Fei must take advantage of this opportunity to completely cut off the opportunity for the Northern Army to make a big wave at sea.

Although the ships that America left to South Vietnam were not particularly advanced or large, the number was considerable. There were more than 70 destroyers, frigates, minesweepers, patrol boats, and torpedo boats, and most of them were In this base located on the edge of the Mekong River outlet.

The two sides reached an agreement, and the next thing will be easy to handle. The old man gave an order, and the base was mobilized...

Du Fei received the news on the afternoon of the second day after arriving in Kuching.

After sailing for a day and a night, Wu Chunfu led this fleet of more than 50 ships of various types to finally arrive in Kuching.

Du Fei received the call and immediately drove straight to the naval port north of Kuching.

 As soon as the convoy arrived, you could feel the commotion in the base.

 The car stopped at the gate of the base, and after confirmation, the sentry let it go.

When the car stopped, Du Fei got out of the car and looked towards the dock on the seaside. He saw dozens of large and small warships parked densely.

 Just in case, the ships originally parked in the base were sent to sea in advance to be on alert.

When the South Vietnamese ship arrived, it brought not just sailors, but also a large number of family members, as well as people who came with the ship through various relationships.

Standing in the distance, Du Fei even saw a motorcycle hanging on a rope outside the railing of a destroyer!

In addition, there were sewing machines, various luggage, and what’s more, when disembarking, a middle-aged woman led a pig down the gangway.

Du Fei did not step forward, but just looked at it from a distance, and he could imagine what a chaotic situation it was when boarding the ship in South Vietnam.

At this time, knowing that Du Fei was coming, Zhu Pengzhi, who was in charge of the navy, quickly brought Wu Chunfu over.

 The two of them came forward and saluted at the same time.

Zhu Pengzhi first reported that according to statistics, a total of fifty-six ships of various types came this time, with a total of nearly 20,000 people, including 3,600 sailors and officers, and the rest were all civilians...

 After hearing what Zhu Pengzhi said, Du Fei looked at Wu Chunfu and shook hands with him.

Wu Chunfu was very excited and quickly held Du Fei's hand. He knew that he had made a great contribution this time and had a promising future.

 Hand held his hand, Du Fei did not forget to pat him on the shoulder: "Old Wu, you are the biggest contributor this time. You became a Shaojiang in South Vietnam, and when you came to me, I asked you to be a Jiangjun."

Wu Chunfu's eyes lit up and he quickly thanked him profusely and swore loyalty.

Before he came to Kuching, he didn't have much hope. He thought that he could keep the property in his hands and be content with being a rich man.

　　Unexpectedly, there would be an opportunity waiting for him.

 With this foundation of credit, Wu Chunfu has truly climbed into the upper class of Kuching.

At the same time, a large Northern army also arrived at the naval base at the mouth of the Mekong River.

Originally, I wanted to negotiate terms to force surrender, but when I came here, I encountered an empty city plan!

 The huge naval base was quiet, and it happened to be in the evening, which made it especially weird.

This made the vanguard of the Northern Army a little suspicious, not to mention that there was fraud.

It wasn’t until we waited for a long time and sent people in to investigate that we finally confirmed that there was indeed no one inside, including the ships on the dock.

 The leader of the Northern Army was a battalion commander, who could not help but frown. He received an order from his superiors to come and take over the base. The superiors had negotiated with the leaders of the base before and it should have been agreed upon. How did it become like this?

 Immediately sent people into the base, and after searching carefully, they were still confused.

He immediately reported it to the upper level, and soon the news reached Li Zhu, making him frown.

By this time, he had received information from Kuching.

The arrival of the South Vietnamese fleet in Kuching did not block the news, and such a big movement could not be covered up by anyone who paid even a little attention.

Li Zhu’s eyes were gloomy. He held two telegrams he had just received and slapped the table hard: “This is unreasonable!”

However, after scolding, he could only take a deep breath to calm down.

This is a bad move. After conquering Xigong, he thought that the other remaining soldiers were the turtles in the urn.

Unexpectedly, Du Fei took advantage of the situation and used a few million dollars to kidnap the fleet that originally belonged to him.

What made him even more angry was that the two islands next to the outlet of the Mekong River were also in the hands of Kuching.

Li Zhu gritted his teeth, unable to swallow his breath anymore, and pointed at Kunlun Island and Fugui Island: "Hit me, hit me!"

 …

 The next day, Kuching.

Du Fei was at Zhu Li's side. He received a call from Zhu Benchang as soon as he got up.

At the same time, similar information came from Eagle.

Du Fei came to the military command post underneath the Kingdom's Parliament Building.

 Chen Fangshi, Zhu Benchang, and Eagle are all here.

According to the feedback from the reconnaissance aircraft taking off from Conlun Island last night, there was a heavy military buildup on the opposite shore of Conlun Island and Phugui Island, and many fishing boats and small cargo ships gathered.

Du Fei confirmed the information and couldn't help but smile: "It seems that our Comrade Li has a very bad temper and is going to take action against us."

He said and looked at Zhu Benchang: "Uncle Six, how is our defense on the island?"

Zhu Benchang stood up quickly. Although Du Fei called him Uncle Six, he did not dare to rely on his old age and said seriously: "Please rest assured, we have two battalions of soldiers on Kunlun Island and Fugui Island, and have built permanent defenses." The fortifications are equipped with various artillery pieces, more than a hundred in total. The airport on Conlun Island is equipped with two gunships and three reconnaissance aircraft all year round..."

Zhu Benchang said the various configurations of the two islands.

After hearing this, Du Fei muttered: "These troops and equipment are not enough. Transport planes are immediately dispatched to project troops to the front. The number of gunships in the front also needs to be increased. In addition, the bombers are on combat readiness to ensure that there are at least two behind the two islands. Bombers are cruising and on standby. Once the enemy organizes a strong attack, H-7 bombers will be dispatched immediately..."

Since Du Fei has obtained these two islands guarding the gateway to Xigong, he will not give them up easily.

It is now clear that both sides are going to break up, sooner or later, there is no need to worry too much.

Furthermore, the Northern Army did not have an air force at all, and the navy was picked first by Du Fei, so it could not make any difference in a short time.

Although they have good strength on land, they have no chance of winning at sea.

As expected, just two days later, the Northern Army organized a large number of troops and wanted to land on Conlun Island and Phugui Island through fishing boats.

"Report~The enemy has moved!" On Kunlun Island, inside the garrison headquarters, Zhang Qiang had a frosty look on his face, and his brows were squeezed into the character "Chuan".

 He was originally from Henan Province. He participated in the Koryo War and returned to work in the county as a company-level cadre.

Later he came to Nanyang and returned to the army again. I heard that he had served as a company commander and had also been to the Korean battlefield and was promoted to two levels in a row.

 After the reinforcement of troops in the past two days, the strength of Kunlun Island's troops has reached five battalions, totaling 2,500 people, with Zhang Qiang as the commander-in-chief.

 Phugui Island on the other side had no airport and needed to turn around at Conlun Island. In the end, the number of troops was slightly less, but there were still 2,000 people.

Zhang Qiang has seen big events. Although he was only in his early twenties when he went to Korea, being able to become a company commander already shows his ability.

Even so, after so many years, he was very nervous to suddenly command thousands of people in battle.

 It's just not visible on the surface, the various arrangements are orderly.

At this moment, the phone next to him rang. It was from the telecommunications squad: "Report to the leader, the reconnaissance plane ahead reported that the enemy has made some movement..."

Zhang Qiang had no expression on his face and said "I understand", and immediately followed the plan: "Notify the airport, the gunship will take off, report to the superiors, and request bomber support."

 After saying these words, Zhang Qiang had a different feeling.

At the time they were in North Gaoli, they didn't have such treatment. They called for bombers before they even saw the enemy. Only the evil America would do such a shameless thing.

I never thought that one day, someone like him would say something like this.

Ten minutes later, a gunship aircraft taking off from the frontline airport on the island flew over the command post.

 Two of them flew directly to the west, and the other two flew north to support Fugui Island.

 Con Dao Island and Phu Quy Island are not far from the coast of South Vietnam, one is 95 kilometers and the other is 85 kilometers.

To avoid being hit by the opponent's shore anti-aircraft weapons, gunships and bombers will not get too close to the land.

 Zhang Qiang came to the roof of the command post and looked at the sea with a telescope.

 The location of the command post is good and the observation field is good, but the distance is too far and nothing can be seen.

 At this moment, the sound of aircraft engines came from the sky.

Zhang Qiang immediately looked up and saw two H-7 bombers flying at high altitude.

With the speed of the H-7, it could come here so quickly. It must not have taken off from Kuching. It should have been cruising nearby. After receiving Zhang Qiang's request, he rushed over immediately.

With his head raised, Zhang Qiang watched the two planes pass by, and his nose couldn't help but feel sore.

 Can't help but think of the comrades who sacrificed their lives back then...

More than two minutes later, a huge explosion was heard from the sea to the west.

That was the sound of the H-7 bombing, followed closely by the faint sound of machine gun fire.

 That was the enemy's counterattack.

  Unfortunately, without dedicated anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, they had nothing to do in the face of bombers hanging thousands of meters above the ground.

Zhang Qiang couldn't see the situation at the scene, but this level of bombing would definitely cause casualties, but he couldn't expect too much. After all, the people coming from the opposite side were all small boats. They were scattered on the sea, and it was difficult to deliver bombs accurately at high altitude. Hit the target.
