Chapter 1409 Calling for a Bomber

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

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

At this time, the door was opened and a young officer came in and said, "Mr. Wu, the commander invites you to come over."

Wu Chunfu breathed a sigh of relief, and after a little leisure, he immediately followed out and came to the large office on the top floor of the base building.

"Chunfu is here~" A thin old man in his sixties in the office smiled and motioned him to sit down.

"Uncle Ruan." Wu Chunfu took two steps faster and came to the old man, saying with a bitter face: "You are really patient. It's time now. The Northern Army has already entered Xigong..."

The old man's expression was meaningful: "They come if they want. The dozens of warships here can go to sea at any time. Can they chase us into the sea?"

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

The meaning is also very clear, that is, waiting for the price, as long as the price is agreed, you can leave at any time.

Hearing this, Wu Chunfu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid of encountering a stubborn person.

Now that it is not the case, it is much easier to deal with. He does not believe that Hanoi can offer a higher price than him.

"Uncle Ruan, I understand, just tell me what the conditions are." Wu Chunfu immediately patted his chest with a solemn oath.

The old man raised his eyebrows, but did not answer and asked: "Are you here on behalf of Kuching?"

At this point, Wu Chunfu had nothing to hide, and nodded and admitted: "Now that America is gone, who in the entire Nanyang can afford a higher price than Kuching?"

The old man pursed his lips, and this was true, and asked: "What did they say?"

Wu Chunfu leaned closer and said: "As long as you can bring the main battleships 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 in a hurry. He was afraid that the other party would not budge. Now that they have entered the bargaining stage, he is stable and said with a smile: "Uncle, if it is normal, these ships and planes It must be more than this price, but the question is what is the current situation? The Northern Army will come tomorrow morning at the latest. What will you do then? "

The old man asked back: "Can't I surrender?"

Wu Chunfu said: "Why do you have to say angry words? You know the situation of the Northern Army better than me. If you really surrender, let alone the one 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 just remind you. Although this one million US dollars is not a big amount for you, as long as you take people and ships to Kuching, you will be a meritorious minister, instead of being forced to surrender. You are a smart person. What to 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 US dollars and a place as a representative of the Kingdom Conference."

The former is economic benefits, and the latter representative of the Kingdom Conference is political protection.

Wu Chunfu immediately nodded and agreed: "No problem, two million US dollars, one Kingdom representative quota."

Before coming, Chen Fangshi gave him a lot of authority. This matter was directly arranged by Du Fei. As long as the remaining ships of South Vietnam can be taken over, it is worth it no matter how much it costs.

Because this is not just about ships, but a matter of gains and losses for both sides.

Before, the Northern Army had almost no navy, and those that did were just some small boats that were not in the mainstream.

If they inherit the South Vietnamese navy, the situation will change completely.

By then, Kunlun Island and Fugui Island that Du Fei had occupied before will definitely not be able to be defended, including those islands in the South China Sea close to the South Vietnamese coastline.

So Du Fei must take this opportunity to completely cut off the Northern Army's chance to make a fortune at sea.

Although the ships that America left for South Vietnam were not particularly advanced or large, the number was considerable, including destroyers, frigates, minesweepers, patrol boats, and torpedo boats, more than 70 ships, most of which were in this base located at the mouth of the Mekong River.

The two sides reached an agreement, and the next thing was easy to handle. At the old man's command, the base was mobilized...

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

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

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

As soon as the convoy arrived, he could feel the hustle and bustle in the base.

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

When the car stopped steadily, Du Fei got out of the car and looked at the pier by the sea. He saw dozens of large and small warships parked densely.

In order to be on the safe side, the ships originally moored in the base went out to sea for alert in advance.

The South Vietnamese ships arrived, and they brought not only sailors, but also more family members, and some came with the ship through various relationships.

Du Fei stood in the distance and even saw a motorcycle hanging with a rope outside the railing of a destroyer!

In addition, there were sewing machines, various luggage, and even more, when getting off the ship, a middle-aged woman walked down the gangway leading a pig.

Du Fei did not step forward, but just watched 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 others 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 bright future.

After holding his hand, Du Fei didn't forget to pat his shoulder: "Old Wu, you are the biggest hero this time. You became a Shaojiang in South Vietnam, and when you came to me, I made you 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 his property and be content with being a rich man.

Unexpectedly, there was an opportunity waiting for him.

With this achievement, 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 and force them to surrender, but when I came here, I encountered an empty city plan!

Such a large 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, especially if it was a scam.

After waiting for a long time and sending people in to investigate, it was 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 everything should have been agreed upon. How did it become like this?

They immediately sent people into the base and searched carefully, but they were still confused.

Immediately, reports were made to the upper levels, and soon the news reached Li Zhu, making him frown.

At this time, he had received intelligence 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 a little attention.

Li Zhu's eyes were gloomy. He held two telegrams he had just received in his hand and slammed the table: "This is unreasonable!"

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

This was a mistake. 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: "Fight, fight me!"

…

The next day, Kuching.

Du Fei was at Zhu Li's side and 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 there.

According to feedback from the reconnaissance aircraft that took off from Conlun Island last night, there was a heavy military buildup on the opposite shores of Conlun Island and Phugui Island, as well as many fishing boats and small cargo ships.

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."

Then he 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 we have built permanent defenses." The fortifications are equipped with various artillery pieces, a total of more than one hundred. The airport on Conlun Island is equipped with two gunships and three reconnaissance aircraft all year round..."

Zhu Benchang talked about 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. The bombers are cruising and on standby. Once the enemy organizes a strong attack, the H-7 bombers will be dispatched immediately..."

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

Now both sides have made it clear that they 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 Chinese character "Sichuan".

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

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

After adding 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.

On the other side, Fugui Island did not have an airport and needed to turn around at Conlun Island. The final force was slightly smaller, but there were still 2,000 people.

Zhang Qiang had seen big scenes. Although he was only in his early twenties when he went to Goryeo, being able to become a company commander showed his ability.

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

It was just that it was not visible on the surface. All kinds of arrangements were in order.

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

Zhang Qiang said "I know" expressionlessly, and then followed the plan in advance: "Notify the airport, the gunship takes off, report to the superiors, and request bomber support."

After saying this, Zhang Qiang had a different feeling.

When they were in North Goryeo, they didn't have such treatment. They called for bombers before they saw the enemy. Only the evil America would do such a cowardly thing.

Unexpectedly, one day, he, Zhang, would say such words.

Ten minutes later, the gunship took off from the front-line airport on the island and flew over the command post.

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

Kunlun Island and Fugui Island are not far from the coast of South Vietnam, one is 95 kilometers and the other is 85 kilometers.

In order to avoid being hit by the opponent's shore-based air defense weapons, the gunboats 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 very good, but the distance is too far and nothing can be seen.

Just at this time, the movement of the aircraft engine 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 must not have taken off from Kuching to come so quickly. It should have been cruising nearby. After receiving Zhang Qiang's request, it immediately rushed over.

Looking up, Zhang Qiang watched the two planes pass by, and his nose was sore.

He couldn't help but think of his comrades who died that year...

More than two minutes later, a huge explosion came from the sea in the west.

That was the sound of the H-7 dropping bombs, followed by the faint sound of machine guns firing.

That was the enemy's counterattack.

Unfortunately, without dedicated anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, they had no way to deal with the bombers hanging thousands of meters in the sky.

Zhang Qiang couldn't see the situation on the scene, but this level of bombing would definitely cause casualties, but he couldn't expect too much. After all, the opponents were all small boats, scattered on the sea, and it was difficult for high-altitude bombing to hit the target accurately.
