Chapter 6: Landing on the Island

Although Cheng Feng is also a military enthusiast, his understanding of machinery is merely superficial. Seeing that everyone else has made their selections, he finds himself in a bit of a dilemma. Looking at the remaining options: the 5.8mm squad general-purpose machine gun, the F92 pistol, and the RPG rocket launcher, he is unsure of what to choose. If he opts for the pistol, it seems too modest compared to the larger weapons everyone else is carrying. If he chooses the machine gun, he doubts his physical capability to handle it. As for the rocket launcher, he feels his skills are inadequate. Caught in indecision, he is at a loss.

Fang Hong smiled and said, "Hong Kong is a transit point for many Southeast Asian countries to sell arms to Taiwan, the mainland, Japan, and South Korea. As long as you have some connections and spend a little money, acquiring weapons is not difficult!" Cheng Feng knew that Fang Hong spoke lightly, but it must have taken a considerable amount of money and time to secure this batch of weapons, and he couldn't help but express his gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Brother Fang!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tiewen immediately assumed the demeanor of an expert, patting his chest and saying, "No problem, I am a firearms expert in the military, you can choose! I will assist you in making a decision!" Brother Fang casually picked up an MP5 submachine gun and said, "I like this one; it is a close-quarters weapon used by the German special forces, guaranteed to turn the little devils into a beehive!"

As night deepens, those who were originally unable to sleep due to the pictures and books gradually begin to drift into slumber. Tomorrow, the Diaoyu Islands will attract the attention of the entire world

Not long after, around a quarter past nine, the yacht arrived off the coast of Diaoyu Island! Fang Hong slowed down, and Cheng Feng and the others began to excitedly gaze at this faraway wanderer, distant from the embrace of their motherland!

Fang Hong, a passionate young man, curled his lips and said, "Come on, we're brothers, no need to thank each other! Quickly choose the ones you like; we might need them tomorrow. We must learn to use them as soon as possible"

When Fang Hong pushed two large boxes out of the hatch and laid them down on the foredeck, he let out a sigh and said: "Take a look and see if there are any suitable ones. Just in case we need to use them later, we mustn't take down our own people!"

Finally, Fang Hong distributed more than ten M57 grenades to everyone and solemnly stated: "You all need to be careful with these; grenades are not like firearms. As long as the gun is aimed at the enemy, you won't harm your own people. If you mishandle a grenade, you could end up killing your own! Let me introduce the M57 grenade: this grenade is American-made and is suitable for positional defense as well as urban combat! It can also be considered a special grenade because it uses a delayed electric fuse. When you pull the pin and throw the grenade, it can detonate immediately upon impact. If, by chance, the triggering mechanism fails, it can still detonate after a delay of 3 to 7 seconds, which is quite advanced! However, its greatest advantage is that the M217 electric fuse ensures that there is no danger within 6 to 9 meters after the grenade is thrown; even if it hits an obstacle, it will not explode. Moreover, the M217 electric fuse guarantees that if the grenade is dropped before being thrown, it will never explode. This advanced grenade is most suitable for you rough guys to use, as it at least won't harm your own people! As for whether it will harm the Japanese, that is not within my consideration!" "Hahaha" Everyone burst into laughter, and as for whether it would harm the Japanese, that was not within my consideration! "Hahaha" Everyone laughed heartily and began to study the M57 grenade, as it was indeed a good item!

A few individuals immediately dropped anchor with the yacht, lowered the small boat, and left the unwilling Ling Ge to guard the ship. The remaining four quickly boarded the small boat and rowed towards Diaoyu Island. Before long, the small boat reached the only landing point on the island, where a small hovercraft was surprisingly docked, evidently used by the Japanese on the island. The four leaped ashore, stepping onto the sacred territory of their longed-for motherland—Diaoyu Island

What we refer to as the Diaoyu Islands is a group of islands known as hetushucomcom, which consists of Diaoyu Island, Huangwei Island, Chiai Island, South Small Island, North Small Island, Great South Small Island, Great North Small Island, and Feilai Island, covering a total area of approximately 7 square kilometers. The terrain on the islands is rugged, and there is no freshwater. On the main island, Diaoyu Island, there is only one sheltered cave and one landing point

... ...

At present, five individuals, under the guidance of Zhao Tie and Fang Hong, began to quickly familiarize themselves with the firearms in their hands. When the time comes, it will be a matter of breaking even or making a profit! Handling the guns is not difficult; as long as one masters a few basic actions that align three points in a line and learns how to engage the safety and load the magazine, it can be done. Thus, in less than half a day's time, the group became very familiar with their weapons!

Fang Hong expressed some surprise and said, "Hmm? You have quite an eye, don't you? You recognize quite a few foreign goods?" Zhao Tie replied proudly, "I come from the 38th Army, which is our country's imperial guard; what kind of fine weapons do we not have!" Suddenly, Zhao Tie questioned, "But, Brother Fang, many of these weapons are military-grade, even special forces equipment. How did you manage to get your hands on them? You must know these are not the common AK47s!"

The yacht glided swiftly over the sea, and today the waters were calm. The surface was so tranquil, apart from a flock of soaring seagulls, that it seemed almost unbelievable, like a picture. Fang Hong adjusted the autopilot system and then joined Cheng Feng and a few others on the foredeck

The sky gradually darkened, and the surface of the sea began to show some waves under the night breeze. Through GPS satellite positioning, we are now over twenty nautical miles north of Taipei! Since we can reach Diaoyu Island soon tomorrow, Cheng Feng and his companions do not need to rush through the night and have started resting early to conserve their energy for tomorrow's landing to dismantle that Japanese lighthouse!

Zhao Tiewen's eyes sparkled with excitement as he quickly opened two large suitcases. His eyes widened in astonishment, radiating a 'greedy' green light! "Wow, an AK74 assault rifle! An M16A2 assault rifle! An MP5 submachine gun! A 5.8MM squad general-purpose machine gun! A F92 pistol! An M57 grenade! Incredible, it's actually an RPG rocket launcher! Yes, and there's also a C4 timed bomb!" Zhao rapidly listed a series of weapon names like a machine gun.

Zhao Tie saw Cheng Feng in a difficult situation and casually handed him the F92 pistol, saying, "Who told you not to act sooner? This is all that's left, so make do with it. The machine gun and rocket launcher are mine; even if I gave them to you, you wouldn't know how to use them!" Cheng Feng thought about it and had no choice but to accept the F92 pistol with a reluctant expression. Meanwhile, the burly Zhao Tie happily embraced the machine gun and rocket launcher.

Although Yang Nan is not a veteran, he is an enthusiast of military equipment and has secretly studied firearms. He picked up an M16A2 assault rifle and, with a look of fascination, said: "Hehe, the American Dream! This is the good stuff I have longed for! It belongs to me now!"

As Cheng Feng and his companions were admiring the mountains and rivers of their motherland, they suddenly spotted a small, unsightly flag fluttering in the wind atop the highest point of the main island, Diaoyu Island, where a small lighthouse stood. Beneath the flag was a small house, from which smoke was rising, clearly indicating that there were Japanese individuals stationed on the island. Cheng Feng and his companions could not help but feel a surge of anger.

Ling Ge's eyes lit up with excitement; as a civil servant, when would he ever get to play with something like this? He couldn't help but feel a mix of anticipation and confusion, his eyes darting around without knowing where to start. Zhao Tie glanced at Ling Ge's physique and handed him the AK74, saying, "Brother, use this. It's sturdy and durable, yet relatively lightweight, and the accuracy is decent! It's suitable for you!" Upon hearing this, Ling Ge was overjoyed, took it eagerly, and began to ponder over it happily.

The sun gradually rose, casting countless rays of dawn light upon the vast ocean, creating a stunning scene where the water and sky blended seamlessly. Cheng Feng and his four companions hastily had a bit of breakfast before setting off on their yacht towards Diaoyu Island
