When Chen Zheng and his five Marines boarded the black rubber inflatable boat and rowed quickly to the west of the island, the bow of the landing boat carried by Cheng Chong and others quickly turned and sailed covertly to the east of the island.
In this way, under Cheng Chong's emergency deployment, the team members participating in the war were divided into two ways. He and Chen Zheng took each way, quickly moving forward and hiding towards their respective goals.
As Cheng Chong expected, the scorpion mercenary regiment did not deploy much troops to the east of the island. Therefore, the elite of special warfare led by Cheng Chong are relatively safe on the way to the East, and basically there are no obstacles. Perhaps the idea of the scorpion mercenary regiment is completely consistent with Cheng Chong's expectation. It really believes that the east of the island is not the focus of this defense. Because they believe that the Chinese detachment coming from the north or from the west is unlikely to make a sneak attack in the East in a circle.
Unfortunately, Cheng Chong, after careful consideration, chose such a sneak attack route. Moreover, it was still the sound of attacking the north and the East, and decided to attack from both sides of the island.
Under the dark blue night sky and above the stormy sea, the landing craft, which deliberately released water into the cabin, had a deep draft and became bulky. After bypassing a distance against the wind to the east of the island, it quietly drove to the predetermined attack position in the stormy waves.
Because the scorpion mercenary regiment did not deploy much troops to the east of the island, the landing boat moved smoothly. It was not affected and obstructed by the scorpion mercenary regiment all the way. It soon reached the predetermined attack position, then slowly stopped, and quietly waited for the signal of Chen Zheng's bombing in the wind and waves.
According to the previous agreement, under the last resort, the two teams must not communicate with each other by radio, and adopt radio silence as far as possible, so as not to be perceived by the enemy in advance, so as to expose themselves.
Therefore, after the landing craft arrived at the predetermined attack position, Cheng Chong, as a commander, in addition to constantly looking in the direction of the island with military night vision telescopes from time to time, he kept raising his watch on his wrist and waiting for the passage of time.
The agreed attack time between the two sides is 2:12 a.m. taking this time as the boundary, if Chen Zheng's bomb will explode before this time on time, the order of cooperation between the two special combat units will not change at all.
However, if the bomb that Chen Zheng blew up the ship failed to explode within this time, Chen Zheng and his team are likely to encounter some trouble or difficult things. At that time, whether out of cover, cooperation or support, the unit led by Cheng Chong must immediately and forcibly launch a fierce attack to the east of the island.
At that time, there was no other choice, let alone any other possibility.
Cheng Chong raised his wrist again and stared at the time on his watch. Then he looked up at the sky. After a pause, he raised his night vision telescope again and looked in the direction of the island. He subconsciously took a breath of air-conditioning. He couldn't help showing a trace of anxiety on his face.
In the night vision telescope, the shadowy island, on the stormy sea in the west, shows a trace of illusory shadow.
At this time, the landing craft looked about 800 or 900 meters away from the island. Because it was at night, the line of sight was poor. It was also because there was no other shelter on the sea except wind and waves, so the illusory shadow of the island in the distance could be seen faintly.
"Our distance is still a little far. We have to continue to move towards the target. Come on -" Cheng Chong looked at the island with a night vision telescope for a long time, and then suddenly whispered to the team members driving the landing craft.
After hearing this, the special combat team member was about to start the landing craft's engine again when Cheng Chong quickly threw a gesture at him and stopped it.
"Boss, what's going on? Are we going to keep going?" Cheng Chong's contradictory behavior immediately confused the flying dragon. He quietly climbed to Cheng Chong's side and asked softly.
"Of course, it depends on the past. I want to shorten this attack distance. You see, we are still at least eight or nine hundred meters away from the target. At that time, even if the landing craft impacts at the fastest speed, including the starting time, it will take at least thirty or forty seconds. This time is too long, so I want to shorten this attack distance and save the impact time." Cheng Chong thought for a moment, put down his telescope and answered softly.
"But if we get too close, will the enemy find us?" Feilong also took out his night vision telescope and looked quietly in the direction of the island. After a while, he put down the telescope and asked with obvious concern.
Cheng Chong couldn't help but take a long sigh of relief, as if he had made a major decision. He bit his teeth and replied, "don't worry. I've observed carefully. The enemy is really not interested in us. I think it shouldn't be a problem if we get closer to four or five hundred meters."
"Well, listen to you, then we'll move forward another four or five hundred meters, and I'll control the landing craft." Feilong immediately agreed to Cheng Chong and turned around to climb into the cab of the landing boat.
After a period of time together and bloody battle, Feilong obeyed Cheng Chong's orders and decisions without any discount. Because countless important decisions at important moments have proved that Cheng Chong's command ability and endless ghost ideas are unmatched or comparable to any other member of the formation.
Cheng Chong's prestige in the hearts of the team members is just like this, gathered bit by bit.
In fact, only in the actual combat experience of the front-line troops, fighting together with the soldiers, charging forward together, fighting together and sharing life and death, the commanders who gradually grow up and the absolute authority they have are the most solid and reliable.
This is far from being comparable to those commanders who are good at sitting and talking and suddenly airborne.
However, this time, comrade Feilong's initiative and enthusiasm were unexpectedly rejected by Cheng Chong: "wait, don't start the engine of the landing craft."
The flying dragon was stunned on the spot and looked confused: "what? How can the landing craft move forward without starting the engine?"
Cheng Chong looked up at the night sky, then whispered, "we are too close to the enemy, and the east wind is still blowing at this time. The slight noise on our side is likely to disturb the enemy on the island, so the engine can't start for the time being."
"But if we don't start the engine, we can't row such a large landing boat with our palms?" Feilong felt more and more confused.
"We can borrow the east wind." Cheng Chong looked up at the night sky again, with a confident smile on his face.
Hearing Cheng Chong's reminder, Feilong suddenly brightened up and immediately responded. He also looked up at the sky, then lowered his head, looked at Cheng Chong excitedly and said happily, "yes, at this time, how can we put such a good east wind out of use!"
Cheng Chong no longer answered, but still raised his night vision telescope, continued to look attentively in the direction of the island, and always paid attention to any possible changes of the enemy.
Feilong then organized the team members to implement the matter of relying on the east wind.
In fact, this matter is very simple to operate.
Of course, Feilong didn't order the team members to fight, but put on the camouflage tarpaulin covered on the landing boat, let the two team members half support their bodies, back to the east wind, hold one corner of the camouflage tarpaulin and pull each other. In this way, a low, almost transparent simple sail is raised.
At this moment, the east wind, which is blowing happily, blows fiercely on this simple sail. The sail is stressed, and then acts on the landing boat drifting with the waves, and the power to move forward is immediately enhanced.
A sea breeze blew, and the landing craft obviously with the help of the east wind really floated forward quickly. The whole process was silent and highly concealed, which was completely different from moving forward with mechanical power.
Seeing this situation, the team members immediately became excited and happy. At the same time, they all threw praise and admiration at Cheng Chong.
Cheng Chong still holds a night vision telescope and continues to observe any enemy situation that may appear on the island for a moment. The flying dragon with an excited face quickly climbed towards him.
"Yes -" said Feilong excitedly.
Cheng Chong didn't put down his night vision telescope: "I don't know how the fighting eagles are. I hope they can also use this east wind."
"Their route is different from ours. After bypassing the island in the west, they have to continue to go south. I'm afraid the east wind will help." Feilong thought for a moment and replied.
Hearing what Feilong said, Cheng Chong couldn't help but put down his telescope, turned his head to the northwest behind him, sighed gently and said, "I hope they can go well, and I hope the east wind can help them..."
In fact, Chen Zheng and the five Marines are far from going as smoothly as Cheng Chong.
First of all, on the sea at this time, the wind and waves are high, and the unbridled sea breeze seems to blow people into the clouds at any time, while the turbulent waves seem to be violently rolling people into the deep sea at any time, tearing them apart.
It is entirely conceivable that the rubber inflatable boat carried by Chen Zheng and the five Marines will encounter difficulties and dangers under such circumstances.
Thanks to the six elite special operations officers from the Marine Corps, they are proficient in water, familiar with water potential and familiar with the way of marching on the sea. Only in this way can we move forward carefully in the rough waves to avoid being dragged into the seabed by the waves.
Under the leadership of Chen Zheng, the five Marines made concerted efforts to paddle their plastic paddles and float forward along the tumbling water.
Their original route was to go west, bypass the north of the island, and then turn south to the south of the island.
Not to mention anything else, but they can rely on the east wind for this waterway that goes West first. But Chen Zheng, who is well versed in water potential, did not do so. Instead, he ordered the team members to continue rowing South and not turn west.
This seems to be bullshit. Maybe you will think that Chen is taking risks and even confused.
However, as long as one knows a little about the water potential, he can soon see the clue.
To put it bluntly, this is actually a simple physical problem. When an object is subjected to two external forces from different directions at the same time, its action trajectory will appear. This is actually a simple topic of external force synthesis.
At this time, the team members rowed South together, that is, the inflatable rubber boat was subjected to a southward force. At the same time, a strong east wind is still blowing on the sea, that is, the inflatable rubber boat is subjected to both a southward force and a westward force.
In this case, the sailing route of the inflatable rubber boat will neither sail directly south along the manpower nor directly west along the wind. But after combining the two simultaneous forces, sail obliquely to the southwest. The angle of deviation to the southwest depends on the size ratio of the two forces.
As Chen Zheng expected, when the team members rowed hard to the south, the sailing track of the inflatable rubber boat was indeed moving towards the southwest. By careful calculation, it can be regarded as relying on the power of the east wind, which not only saves strength, but also really shortens the sailing distance.
When the inflatable rubber boat diagonally bypassed the north of the island and opened a certain distance, Chen Zheng immediately ordered to turn the direction of the inflatable rubber boat to the southeast. The purpose is to use part of the force eastward to offset the wind force of the east wind. The principle is almost the same as that just now.
However, the next voyage was not as smooth as before.
Because when they continued to March seven or eight hundred meters south, Chen Zheng, who was in charge of command and vigilance, suddenly found that the enemy's maritime sentry appeared again on the sea about four or five hundred meters away.
There is no doubt that the situation has become urgent and dangerous again.
