    In the days when he first arrived in the Eighteenth Army, Zhang Xian actually didn't have much to do. As a deputy, his main job still depended on the arrangements of Commander Liu Dingtian, who was new to the Eighteenth Army.  He came from the army, so he was given a month to get familiar with the situation.

    Although when I first arrived, due to Paul's suggestion, the Kinmen Command reached a consensus on strengthening the artillery resistance of various buildings and facilities and had corresponding plans, but during implementation, the various armies, divisions, and regiments  The degree of emphasis varies. Many troops find reconstruction troublesome, so they put it off as long as possible.  However, Zhang Xian volunteered to ask Commander Liu to take charge of the renovation of the Eighteenth Army's buildings and fortifications, and Liu Dingtian readily agreed.

    In the following months, Zhang Xian seized the time to carry out his renovation plan, transporting steel, cement and many building materials from the main island of Taiwan. After all, it was still a long way, so the materials shipped each time were also limited. He  It can only be done one by one according to the degree of priority.

    Just after Zhang Xian arrived at Kinmen Island, the situation on both sides of the Taiwan Strait became increasingly tense. The Chinese Communist Party on the mainland was naturally very firmly opposed to the American intervention in the Taiwan Strait dispute. Relatively speaking, the Kuomintang government headed by Chiang Kai-shek  They also responded tit-for-tat and intensified their harassment and infiltration on the mainland. They organized the so-called "Anti-Communist National Salvation Army" on the islands they controlled offshore and in the southwest border area, and regularly sneaked into the mainland to carry out sabotage and incitement, and  Send planes to bomb forward military installations.  At this time, after experiencing the armistice of the Korean War, the mainland also turned its focus to economic development. With the help of the Soviet Union, it began to implement the first five-year plan. Naturally, it did not want its development to be affected by Taiwan and  The obstacle to the United States is that General Chen Yi, who is in charge of the southeast, has also requested the central government to make up its mind to liberate a series of coastal islands including Kinmen, and a large number of troops have been transferred to Fujian and Zhejiang provinces.  A battle to seize the island seems to be about to begin.

    Internationally, the American-led Southeast Asia Conference is about to be held in Manila on September 8. This conference aims to promote the alliance of Southeast Asian countries and sign a collective defense treaty, similar to the nature of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.  .  In addition to the United States and the Philippines and Thailand in Southeast Asia, the participating countries also included neighboring Australia, New Zealand and Pakistan. In addition, Britain and France, which actually controlled the Indochina Peninsula, were naturally among them. Although at this time the French ruled  An independence movement is taking place in Vietnam to drive out the French, and the French still regard themselves as the sovereign state.  As allies of the Americans, of course they also hope to bring Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang regime into the meeting, but this is exactly what the mainland Communist Party least wants to see.  Because once a mutual defense treaty is signed after the Southeast Asia Conference, it means that when the Chinese Communist Party liberates Taiwan in the future, it will be a declaration of war with Southeast Asian countries.  As for allowing the Kuomintang regime to participate in the Southeast Asian Conference, Southeast Asian countries, including the United Kingdom and France, actually have some concerns.

    September 3rd is a Friday. Seeing that the weekend is coming soon, many people are very relaxed.  According to the practice of the Republic of China, Sunday is one day off every week, but generally everyone will be very slack on Friday, as people expect it to be the darkness before dawn; and on Saturday, most units are actually just  After working for half a day in the afternoon, many people either asked for leave and left early, or made excuses not to come.

    Two US military advisers came to the headquarters of the Eighteenth Army. One was called David, a major; the other was called Sheehan, a captain.  These two US military advisers were also part of the increase in personnel after Paul inspected the Kinmen Defense Command and suggested that the US military should regularly send military advisers to the national army.  In fact, there are many military advisers sent to the national army. They also wear the same military uniforms as the national army, but their treatment is higher than everyone else.  Although these US military advisers are on Kinmen Island, they have weekends off every week. On Friday afternoons, they are basically invisible.

    Xiong Sanwa ran back very angrily and told Zhang Xian: "Brother, you are the only one who is still thinking about endless work. Those two Americans have run away long ago. I saw Xian and told him that you are looking for  He has something to discuss, do you know what he said?"

    "What did you say?" Zhang Xian raised his head and looked at him.

    Xiong Sanwa said: "He said that it was time for a holiday and he wanted to rest; he also said that if you have anything to do, wait until Monday to deal with it! Look, what is it like? This is Friday,  We invite them here just to be our patrons!"

    Zhang Xian smiled and comforted him: "Okay, Sanwa, don't be angry. He is a foreigner after all. He can come to us like a bird."After the artillery shells hit, the second round of attacks followed, but the scope of this round of shelling was wider and more intensive.  It was obvious that their cannons were basically in place. From the time they launched the smoke cannon to firing the first shell, these preparations were completed in less than ten minutes. This speed is comparable to the modern new American cannons.  .

    Zhang Xian and Xiong Sanwa were still running towards the headquarters. As soon as they crossed the tidal flat, a shell roared and landed in front of them. It immediately exploded and blew up the sand and rocks on the ground.  , scattered together with the shrapnel, they saw a soldier holding a carbine just fall down, motionless.  Almost at the same time as this artillery shell landed, the whistling sound of the artillery shells from behind also followed. With many years of field experience in fighting on the battlefield, the moment this artillery shell just landed, Zhang Xian and Xiong Sanwa came together.  He fell down, and for a moment, sand and stones flew everywhere, smoke and dust filled the air everywhere, and the air that was fresh and unusually fresh just now was immediately filled with the choking smell of gunpowder smoke.  Immediately after the sound of the cannon, the sound of a series of exploding artillery shells was heard, and for a while, the entire Kinmen Island was enveloped in panic.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
