12. Chapter 12 A Long Day II
Chapter 12 A long day (2)
For a natural harbor with unique conditions like Yulingang, it is not surprising that there are people living nearby. The Executive Committee has also known for a long time that there must be fishermen in this harbor, and it has been prepared in advance for the first contact with the indigenous people of this time and space after traveling.
A variety of response plans have been prepared. For example, if local residents are discovered during the landing, the response strategy is - ignore them.
The reason is actually very simple. With such a huge fleet suddenly arriving here, the locals will definitely think that it is some pirate force with an unknown name. The nearest large garrison is in Yacheng, a hundred miles away.
There is nothing that can immediately threaten the military strength of the Chuanchuang people. If the prediction is correct, those with quick legs may have already started packing their luggage and fleeing into the mountains at this time. The main task of the vanguard is to protect the safety of the landing site area, not to pursue them.
Those fishermen who have never seen the world.
This episode did not affect the continuation of the landing operation. Two shallow-draft catamaran sailing ships first docked at a predetermined location near the Tiandu River outlet on the north bank of the harbor, and at the same time returned the measured coastal water depth data to the command center. This
The landing site is one of the later Yulin Military Port Piers. In the development plan of the Executive Committee, the main base of Chuanzhong will start from this terminal and move inward along the narrow strip between the Tiandu River and the Gouling-Hailuoling Mountains.
Lu unfolds.
Yan Chujie didn't stop after arriving at the "Speed" this morning. At first, he seriously inspected the various firearms purchased by the North American gang from European underground arms dealers. Later, he saw these guys showing off the personal weapons they bought with their own money.
Equipment, decisiveness rather than calmness.
Among the military supplies purchased by the Executive Committee, all military personnel and reservists are wearing domestically produced jungle camouflage combat training uniforms, strongman combat boots and a copycat MacGyver RUSH 72-hour assault tactical backpack. In addition, considering personal safety, it is better to provide each
I am personally issued a US military M88 helmet. Of course, this is just a domestic engineering plastic imitation. Although the protection is not as good as the original, it is cheap and lightweight, and can also be used as a helmet during construction.
As for other tactical vests, gloves, flashlights and other equipment, only the officer list determined by the Military and Police Department can be equipped with the corresponding equipment. In addition to the 56 semi-automatic rifle that is close to one manpower, Yan Chujie originally thought that such equipment is enough to arm a reserve militia.
But after seeing these guys from the North American Gang, he realized that we don't understand the world of rich people at all.
These guys from the North American gang who have been engaged in paramilitary training all year round obviously have no intention of keeping up with the military and police departments. They are equipped with the Multicam multi-terrain camouflage uniform produced by the American CP company plus the same series of tactical vests and waist and leg bags, and the belt fasteners produced by FAST
Hanging accessories include a Kevlar helmet, Oakley's tactical goggles and gloves, Magnum's elite spider combat boots, three UAMC tactical backpacks of different sizes and capacities, and an intercom system with a throat vibrator. The secondary weapon can be equipped with a silencer.
and the MK23 pistol with an external sight. This pistol with a magazine capacity of 12 rounds can be regarded as an improved and enhanced version of HK's traditional signature product USP. It has extremely strong shooting accuracy within a distance of 50 yards. The main weapon is used to kill Ben La.
The world-famous HK416 series of lights is mainly used. There are different emphasis on models according to personal preferences. Of course, the EOTech holographic sight mounted on the gun with Picatinine rail is essential. As for other things, like M9
There are many kinds of items such as military daggers, Citizen light titanium watches, etc. If they were said to be the US military troops preparing to set out to defeat aliens, Yan Chujie would not feel the slightest sense of violation.
After seeing this, Yan Chujie became more than just envious and jealous. He immediately asked Wang Tom, the head of the North American Gang, to "make a set of equipment according to this standard." In view of Yan Chujie's executive committee members and the head of the Military and Police Department,
In the end, Wang Tom had to agree to Yan Chujie's request. However, Gu Kai and Schneider had actually warned the North American Gang of this situation a few months ago, so in fact, Wang Tom had already prepared for it.
After Yan Chujie opened his mouth, he naturally offered this generous meeting gift.
Yan Chujie didn't think too much. After getting the things, he immediately changed his clothes on the sailboat. With this tall and tall equipment, Yan Chujie suddenly felt that his already strong combat power had increased by at least ten percentage points. He couldn't wait to see it.
A group of Ming Dynasty guardsmen suddenly appeared on the coast, allowing him to show off his power. Of course, the reality was that when the sailboat docked, there was no one on the beach at all, which made Yan Chujie the first person to set foot on land after planning for a long time.
The feat seemed a little too deserted when implemented. However, before he could give the order to go out for reconnaissance on the shore, a new order from the command arrived first - the two sailboats immediately began to transfer the members of the "New World" to land.
. So the freedom fighters of the North American Gang obediently sailed the sailboat to load up the people. Yan Chujie had no choice but to command the three men with him to conduct a small-scale investigation first.
While the advance team of the Military and Police Department had begun to land, the follow-up fleet stopped in the harbor. The "New World" has a deep draft. If you don't want to rely entirely on small boats to transfer supplies, you can only wait for the temporary dock.
It was set up, and the first task now was to unload the construction equipment and materials on the landing craft to the coast. So Sun Changmi took a rubber boat to the landing craft. It was more reliable for professionals to complete the technical work of beach washing.
Joining him in the landing craft are a group of people from the Ministry of Construction, including Tao Donglai and Bai Kesi. Whether the construction of the temporary dock goes smoothly or not depends on them.
The landing craft's beaching was undoubtedly smooth under Sun Changmi's operation. It only took less than twenty minutes for several engineering vehicles and several tons of construction materials to complete the landing. It was a good start. At this time
The first batch of laborers has also landed not far from here, and the timing is perfect.
In view of the limited manpower and construction level of the crossing group, the temporary wharf construction plan finally adopted by the Ministry of Construction is a floating wharf. The wharf is built with a large number of fully enclosed iron barrels and a steel-wood frame structure, and is shaped like an "L" from the shore.
It extends to about 40 meters above the sea, the total length including the turning part is about 70 meters, and the width of the trestle is about 4 meters. The water depth at this location has been measured to be enough for the "New World" to dock. The draft is relatively large.
Shallow barges can dock near the shore to unload cargo.
The advantage of this solution is that the labor intensity is low, and the installation speed is much faster than building a piling-type pier trestle. According to prior estimates, the initial assembly and erection work can be completed in about two hours with sufficient manpower.
.However, the corresponding shortcomings cannot be ignored. Because the carrying capacity of the pontoons is limited, the maximum load-bearing capacity on the trestle cannot guarantee the passage of heavier materials.
However, the Ministry of Construction has already had a plan to deal with this. When ordering the floating pier, it improved the steel-wood structure trestle and installed multiple piling connection devices on both sides. In this way, after the floating pier is erected, it can be lowered on one side.
While people are unloading the cargo, piling construction is being carried out to strengthen the trestle structure. By the time the lighter bulk cargo is almost unloaded, the piling work has been basically completed. By then, the upper load-bearing limit of the trestle will be about five tons, and it can also be fixed.
Live on a floating dock to prevent it from swinging left and right with the waves. As for a single piece of material heavier than this, it can only be slowly transferred by landing craft.
Of course, the difficulties faced in the implementation of any plan will definitely be much more than what appears on paper. Tao Donglai was distracted while listening to Yan Chujie's investigation report on the walkie-talkie. The excavator he was commanding to level the construction site was almost killed by the newcomer.
The driver drove directly into the sea. The first few people who landed on the sailboat were in chaos due to the lack of effective command. They were delayed on the beach for a long time and did not start the dock assembly work. Some people even took out their cameras.
Commemorative photos were taken on the beach. It was not until the executive committee moved the command center from the "New World" to the coast that the chaos ended.
This chaotic situation did not end until about nine o'clock in the morning. Except for a small number of crew members, women and children, most of the labor force had completed landing. About two hundred of them were involved in the construction of the floating dock, and another hundred or so people were involved in the construction of the floating dock.
Under the leadership of Bai Kesi, the people began to move inland. According to the plan, they must complete at least the foundation leveling work of Base No. 1 within today. It would be better if they could initially build the structure of the base, otherwise they are now on the beach.
The busy migrant workers had to go back to the ship and sleep on the deck for another night.
Base No. 1 will not be too far from the dock to facilitate the transfer of construction machinery, and various building materials and construction equipment will not need to be carried on people's shoulders. At the same time, it will not be too far from the Tiandu River to ensure water supply.
Convenience. But there is a serious problem that the construction team must face, and that is cutting down trees.
How rich are the forest resources in Hainan? People who have only seen some data and figures in another time and space now have a personal experience. This island, which is covered by tropical forests for most of the area, has thousands of trees.
There are more than 400 tree species that have been designated as commercial timber by the country. However, no one can tell how many trees there are in the endless forest in front of you. According to the previously planned division of labor, construction work
The team was divided into several logging groups. The goal was very simple: cut down as many trees as possible within the field of vision.
The area near the seaside is basically dominated by mangroves, but after passing through the mangroves, the scene behind it is shocking. Baikes used to have a wooden furniture factory, so he has a pretty good understanding of wood and tree species, but
Because of this, he was shocked by what he saw: "This is a rosewood tree, don't cut this one down... Ah, there is such a thick red asphalt tree! Wait... don't do it yet!
This, this is red sandalwood!"
Cai Hongzhan, the leader of the logging team, is an old employee of Bai Kesi. He used to be a foreman in a furniture factory. He was also one of the first members to be developed by Bai Kesi. He is almost 40 and has not yet started a family. He has no worries and simply follows Bai Kesi.
Wear them together. Seeing Bai Kesi's drooling look, he couldn't help coughing and said: "Mr. Bai, no matter how good the tree grows, it will eventually be cut down. If we continue to delay like this, we won't be able to do much today!
"
Bai Kesi hesitated: "But these trees are very valuable..."
"There are a lot of trees on this island, and we can't cut them all even if it takes ten years. Mr. Bai, you'd better rest on the side first!" Cai Hongzhan, who has been sawing wood for half his life, doesn't have as many ideas as Bai Kesi.
In his opinion, wood is just wood, and at best it can be divided into two categories: usable and unusable.
Cai Hongzhan rolled up his sleeves, started the chain saw in his hand, and cut hard into the rosewood tree nearest to him.
Chapter completed!
