Chapter 148: The New South China Sea Fleet

Seeing that the military port was approaching, everyone seemed very excited. Most of the personnel climbed onto the deck and stood on the deck and looked at the closer and closer destination. Zhang Long found Xie Tian and said, "Brother Xie, an experienced crew member said that we may not be able to use the freighter to get close to the warships directly. Moreover, we don't know how many zombies there are on the warship. If we rely on lifeboats to transport personnel on board, I am worried that the creatures in the sea will threaten the safety of the lifeboats. We seem to have to land first this time."

Xie Tian nodded without hesitation and said, "Then let's land first. The warships are all parked by the port. We have armored vehicles. After landing, we will first eliminate all zombies, and then immediately start to check the situation of each warship."

"Then I'll go and prepare." After Zhang Long finished speaking, he hurried to the cockpit, first let the freighter stop at the free position in the military port, and then began to use a crane to unload the armored vehicle.

As the three main fleets of the Chinese Navy, the Sanya fleet is still very large in scale. In addition to the large number of warships anchored, the ground facilities and supplies are also very complete. You can see several super-large oil tanks and many large warehouse-style buildings. Xie Tian didn’t know how many materials would be available here. He was thinking that there were so many ships now. If a large amount of materials were loaded and transported to Shanghai, and then transported to Yanjing by railway, he would not be as simple as a landlord. He would probably become the only bourgeois tycoon in China at this time...

However, Xie Tian turned his mind aside. He had a big task to come to Hainan this time, and the problem of searching for materials was not worth mentioning at this time. However, Xie Tian also found that he had been unknowingly influenced by the end of the world and became a material madman in the end of the world. No matter what he did, he was always inseparable from materials.

"There is actually a coconut tree opposite..." A Luo looked at him and said to the people around him: "I haven't eaten fruit for a long time. Why don't we go and search this time?"

"Fruit?" Xie Xiaofei asked, "Are there any bananas?"

Aluo smiled and said, "Bananas seem to be everywhere in Hainan. Now it is autumn, and most of the fruits should be eaten."

"I want to drink coconut juice." Du Yuewei said excitedly: "I haven't drunk real fresh coconut juice for a long time."

"Okay!" Xie Tian slapped his thigh and said happily: "Let them choose the right boat, let's get a chariot and go around to find some fruit."

Armored vehicles are fortresses on land. After the zombies near the port were attracted by movements, they were completely wiped out without any room for resistance. Twenty armored vehicles were transported to the ground by cranes. Navy officers and soldiers who knew about warships rushed to the warships and checked the zombies. Once the zombies were cleared, they immediately conducted a thorough inspection of the ships. However, the zombie virus had no effect on the warships. Each warship here was basically free of faults and was well maintained.

Xie Tian didn't know much about the ships. Even Patton's memory only had some understanding of these things. He was not as proficient as those naval officers and soldiers, so he simply let them do it. He took others with him to take two crawler-type infantry fighting chariots to find edible fruit materials. Coconut trees are very common on Hainan Island. Although this place is not the place where coconuts are grown in large quantities, it has been planted for beautification of the beach. Autumn is also the time when coconuts are ripe. For those who have been struggling in the apocalypse for several months, the beautiful beach scenery at this moment seems to have returned to the world before the zombies broke out.

With Wang Jun, who has a strong jumping ability, all the others have to do is wait in the car. Wang Jun chose a coconut tree to jump in place, jumped high for several meters, hugged the tree trunk tightly, and then jumped up again. One by one, mature coconuts fell into the soft beach, and the three women in the car ran out and kept picking them up.

Everyone shuttled through the beach area over and over again. The coconut they obtained had filled other spaces in the infantry fighting chariot, so they went back and forth two or three times until Zhang Long told Xie Tian that the door to the dock had been opened. There are currently three submarines anchored in the dock, one Type 093 attack nuclear submarine and two Russian-made Kiro-class submarines.

In addition, others also completed the inspection of warships. The number of warships that could be used in the end was far more than Xie Tian's prediction. There were the "Wuhan" among the Type 052b missile destroyers, and all four 054a-class missile frigates were present and in good condition. Each ship was equipped with a Marx-10 armed helicopter and six Type 0723 tank landing ships. In addition, there was also a flagship supply ship of the South China Sea Fleet - the Nancang-class supply ship.

Xie Tian brought six thousand people, enough to start all these ships, and enough technicians. Even ten helicopter pilots came, from submarines to ships to helicopters, all of them were professional. In this way, Xie Tian said to Zhang Long: "Assign personnel and supplies to all ships. This time we will take all these ships away."

Zhang Long nodded. Before coming this time, he made preparations to enable all the main ships. Then, the technicians assigned them to the survivors who followed them to each ship. As for those submarines, their status was not affected at all. There was enough special food on the submarines. Moreover, since these submarines entering the dock were in a closed state, they were not entered by zombies.

Some professionals are debugging ships. Seeing that most of the people were idle, Xie Tian felt itchy again. He led dozens of soldiers to the warehouse near the submarine dock, where he found a large number of special things prepared for submarine soldiers. Relying on Patton's memory, Xie Tian knew that the two most food-eating and eating groups in the army were submarine soldiers and pilots. Due to their special environment and special nature, submarine soldiers often stayed underwater for dozens of days or even longer, so their food was very professional. These foods were very high-end things, and it was a pity that they just threw them here without caring about it.

Looking at the food and supplies in a warehouse, Xie Tian waved his hand and said, "Move all to the supply ship!"

These soldiers followed Xie Tian to be an addiction to being a bandit. They moved all the things they saw, leaving no one left, and a large amount of food was moved into the supply ship. Xie Tian then returned to the port with satisfaction, secretly saying that he had not delayed the serious business and killed two birds with one stone. Why not do it?

The ships selected by Xie Tian were gradually ready to sail. Although this was not the full strength of the South China Sea Fleet, it was also the largest scale that Xie Tian could organize. Twenty armored vehicles were loaded into four tank landing ships respectively. Most of the soldiers were concentrated on the Wuhan missile destroyer and the other four missile frigates. Most of the Nancang-class supply ships were survivors. The supply ships had a large amount of freshwater reserves and fuel reserves. Fresh food had rotten and deteriorated and were thrown into the sea. However, there were also a lot of canned foods. In addition, almost all the remaining weapons and equipment, such as missiles and torpedoes, which provided great guarantees for the endurance and combat capabilities of the entire fleet.

After one night of preparation, the next day, Xie Tian and others boarded the Wuhan missile destroyer. This destroyer will become the main attack ship of the current fleet. The three submarines underwater will be more used to conceal the police. Once Japanese ships are discovered, they can launch an attack as soon as possible.

Before setting off, Zhang Long said with some concern: "The Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force has strong anti-submarine capabilities. I don't know how much of this ability is left after the baptism of the end of the world."

Xie Tian nodded and said, "It seems that it is not just anti-submarine capabilities. Their previous naval strength should be among the best in Asia, almost the same as India."

"The practical ability is stronger than India." Zhang Long said sincerely: "It is no exaggeration to say that the Japanese navy has the best in Asia. Although India has been making great efforts in recent years, it has no practical use. The aircraft carrier has not yet formed its real combat power, and the nuclear submarine has not completed all tests. Japan's diesel-electric submarine technology is very high, especially the silent technology, which is much stronger than us."

"It's okay." Xie Tian comforted and said, "But judging from the information obtained from the Japanese population before, the Japanese Navy's current strength is not very strong. Our newly formed South China Sea fleet should have a little advantage in front of the Japanese."

Zhang Long nodded and said without much confidence: "I hope this is the case." Then, Zhang Long said again: "We can insert into the southern part of Guam, and because Japan is located in the northwest of Guam, even if they organize forces to land in Guam, they will definitely land from the north. We can dispatch submarines and helicopters to conduct reconnaissance. In this way, we should not meet them head-on in Guam. If both sides encounter each other and we lack strength, we can retreat and ask the bomber to assist."

Xie Tian asked in confusion: "Guam is so small, it seems that there is not much distance between the south and the north, right?"

Zhang Long nodded and said, "If that happens, it will be better."

The fleet set sail, and three submarines were distributed around the surface ships in an equilateral triangle array, while four frigates protected the tank landing ships and supply ships in the center in a rectangular array. In front of them was the Wuhan missile destroyer where Xie Tian was located. The fleet sailed out of Sanya Military Port and drove east from the southern end of Hainan Island. The entire distance was about 4,000 kilometers. If nothing unexpected happened, it would take about five days to arrive.
