Wuxi.
On the side of the road bridge across Wuxi, two members of the special team were lurking in the bushes. The team leader Hua Dagang was in charge of coordinating the time with the long-range radio walkie-talkie and the Tu-2 bomber. The deputy had already set up the laser irradiator. Find the location with the best reflection angle on the bridge, just wait for the irradiation time to come.
"Flower Team, there is a jeep going across the bridge." The deputy said softly.
Under the moonlight, two pillars of car lights appeared on the south side of the Wuxi Highway Bridge, from far to near.
"Have you started to irradiate? See if the bomb just falls when the jeep is crossing the bridge." Hua Dagang said.
"It's such a coincidence. The bridge is not long, only 5 to 60 meters, and the car passed by in a few seconds."
Under the watchful eyes of the two, the jeep swayed and turned on its headlights, crossed the bridge and traveled northward until it disappeared from Hua Dagang's sight.Shortly after the jeep drove across the bridge, two laser-guided glide bombs landed one behind the other. The first bomb hit the bridge deck, blowing the bridge into two sections. The base exploded to pieces.
When Yang Yupeng and Hu Lian were rushing on the road, they heard the explosion behind them clearly.The convertible Jeep can hear the sound very clearly.Hu Lian looked back carefully, only to see that the Wuxi Highway Bridge was burning now.
"The CCP's style of fighting is completely different from what it was three years ago. We have only heard reports from the Americans in the past two years. The Americans will not reveal all the CCP's tactics. This battle cannot be won. " Hu Lian said thoughtfully. "Yang Yupeng, don't look back. Drive and watch the road ahead."

The bridge of the light cruiser "Manchester".
Although he only saw the abnormal situation in the air and did not confirm it from various aspects, Emerson was sure by intuition that China's attack on Taiwan had begun.
A battle across Hayden Islands.
The fleet of aircraft covering the sky above the head, the battleships and landing ships stretching for several nautical miles.Cannon fire flew across.
"The mission of the cruise fleet is to prevent Red China from launching an attack on Taiwan. Send a report to inform the other four ships to start formation." Emerson said word by word. "However, the speed of 4 knots will remain unchanged until the telegram from Tokyo specifies the detailed instructions for the next step."
"In the direction of three o'clock, 6 large-scale air targets were found, with a speed of 230 knots, an altitude of 3000 meters, and a distance of 60 nautical miles. The model judgment is Tu-2."
The radar soldiers confirmed again and reported: "These six Tu-6s are flying towards us."
……
Penghu Bay.
Eight US-made LST tank landing ships took the lead out of Penghu Bay.
So far, China has collected 18 LSTs from various sources.Some were received by the National Army Navy uprising, some were received by the National Shipping Company uprising, some were repurchased from private shipping companies, some were bought from gray transactions in Hong Kong, and one was even handed over by the Soviet Union.
在澎湖湾的这8艘LST每艘船舱里装着8辆PT-76和4辆“大水牛”，它们是登陆台湾的先锋。这些PT-76也是整个登陆部队中唯一的一支在天未亮时就要登岛的部队。
Behind the eight LSTs are dozens of 8-300-ton infantry landing craft, each of which is fully loaded.According to the pre-formation formation, the landing craft will land one hour later than the landing ship, so after leaving the port, it enters a slightly lower cruising speed.
For Taiwan's separatist side, Penghu is a support point for thickening the island's defense circle and increasing the defense depth.For the party attacking Taiwan, Penghu is a springboard for attacking Taiwan.Penghu Bay is the greatest value of this springboard.
In February 1661, Zheng Chenggong arrived in Penghu with a fleet of 2 people. Then he used Penghu as a base and waited patiently for favorable winds and trends. In March, he found an opportunity.
1953年4月，在战役发起前夕，澎湖列岛集结了20万部队、8艘坦克登陆舰、80艘登陆艇、16艘导弹艇、2艘护卫舰、3艘货船、2艘工程船和2个人工码头构件，俨然是攻台的前进基地。

"Six larger air targets, model Tu-6, altitude reduced to 2 meters, distance 2000 nautical miles, speed 56 knots."
"The altitude of Tu-2 is reduced to 1000 meters, the distance is 52 nautical miles, and the speed is 235 knots."
"The air target disappeared. Six Tu-6s disappeared from the radar screen."
On the light cruiser "Manchester", as the radar soldiers kept reporting the situation, Emerson and Peter Johnson fell into confusion.
"Are they...are flying at a low altitude below 200 meters, avoiding the detection range of radar?"
"I think so," Peter Johnson said, "but how do they drop glide bombs at very low altitudes? Perhaps these six Tu-6s are modified torpedo bombers?"
"I remember the Air Force revealing that they had developed a guided weapon with a rocket motor," Emerson tried to recall. "General Robert Bliss probably knew better. He was two ranks above me after all. Did Tokyo call back?" , communications staff?"
Chapter 36, Seahawks-1 debut
Emerson's telegram to Tokyo from the "Manchester" did not cause a widespread shock in Far Eastern Intelligence Command.
Because 2 hours ago, the headquarters was shaken once, and it is now in a state of high-intensity work.
With the signing of the armistice agreement on April 4, various U.S. military agencies in Tokyo have entered a period of preparation for major adjustments. From the United Nations Command to the armed forces staff and intelligence agencies, they must be reorganized and redeployed.
How should the United Nations Command be preserved in the future?Although the United Nations issued a statement in January 1951 saying that the United Nations terminated the mission of the "United Nations Army" and that the current United Nations Command is an illegal organization that has not been certified by the United Nations.Instead, the United States has to consider how to retain the headquarters in the future.Now the preliminary decision is to gradually streamline the number and departments of the headquarters, and move to Busan, South Korea after one year.
While preparing to streamline the department, it is also necessary to coordinate the withdrawal of troops from South Korea by transport ships and transport planes.
The Far East Intelligence Command is a relatively independent department, and it has more of a cooperative relationship with the United Nations Command. On April 4 and April 10, it was formulating a plan to withdraw some intelligence personnel from South Korea. It is some civilian personnel who do public intelligence analysis and archiving of old intelligence.
At 4 p.m. on April 11, Intelligence Command had tentative answers to questions that had been hanging in the air in recent months.This answer caused a big shock in the Far East Intelligence Command.
The question is: Where did the 9th Corps of the Chinese Army go?
The answer obtained by the U.S. military is that the 9th Corps was transferred to Fujian at least a month ago, and it is likely that part of it is now in the Penghu Islands.
"This is a telegram from Shanghai that was intercepted by the Military Intelligence Department of the Republic of China. It was dated March 3. It was shared with the Intelligence Command by their Military Intelligence Department on March 3. Today we accidentally cracked this telegram, and then we cracked it again. A few telegrams exchanged on the same radio system from March 3nd to 15th. A month out of date, but useful."
The staff had already summarized the deciphered telegrams and summarized the general idea, and what was handed to Charles Willoughby was a concise and easy-to-understand summary report.
“中国军队的第9兵团——第20军、26军和27军，从朝鲜轮换回国之后并未在东北休整待命，而是悄悄南下，并在1953年2月15日至3月1日分批秘密运往福建，上海、南通、镇江的几个海港、内河码头负责将这3个军送上船，海运抵达目的地。”
Charles Willoughby stood up before reading the telegram, "This means that the Chinese army is already making preparations for the Taiwan campaign in advance. Much earlier than we expected.... No, a month has passed Now, they may attack Taiwan at any time now, I need to go to General Clark immediately."
"General Clark continued his inspection in Busan after signing the armistice agreement, and will return to Tokyo by flight tomorrow morning, sir."
"Who is acting as the commander of the United Nations Command now? Where is the Chief of Staff of the United Nations Army?"
……
After midnight, Emerson reported that "Chinese military bombers are frequently shuttling through the Taiwan Strait, and they are likely to use glide bombs to attack Taiwan in preparation for the landing." It was sent to the United Nations Command, the Seventh Fleet Command, and Clark's accompanying team visiting South Korea. The United Nations Command forwarded the telegram to the United States Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The staff of Intelligence Command forwarded the telegram, and Charles Willoughby waited patiently in his office for a call back from the Pentagon's intelligence headquarters.
10 minutes later, a telegram sent from China in plain code, broadcast by several high-power coastal radio stations at the same time, and a continuous loop of telegrams echoed throughout the Western Pacific:
"Temporary no-fly for military operations, warning for navigation in no-fly areas:"
