Which province is Xisha Islands from?

At the southernmost tip of China, there is a colorful place.

Blue, dark blue and green waters stretch over 2 million square kilometers.

On the island reef dotted with green, tropical plants are lush.

White and soft white beaches separate the land from the sea.

Looking up, birds fly by, looking down, you can see the red crab Blackstone.

If you look into the deep sea, colorful corals, dancing algae and colorful fish schools are all wonderful.

This is Sansha, China, which governs Xisha and Nansha, and is in charge of the islands and reefs of Xisha Islands, zhongsha islands (Xisha District) and Nansha Islands (Nansha District) and their sea areas. It is a coastal defense outpost in southern Xinjiang.

This place has always been open only to China people. Ordinary tourists can climb the Xisha Islands, watch the sunrise on Shidao, pick up shells on Yagong Island, watch Longkeng on Yuyin Island and catch crabs all over Fukushima.

Sansha is full of treasures.

According to statistics, Sansha seabed is rich in minerals, and the reserves of "combustible ice" are about 654.38+094 billion cubic meters; The potential of oil and gas resources is more than 70 billion tons, including 29.2 billion tons of oil and 58 trillion cubic meters of natural gas ... The deuterium energy in Xisha alone is equivalent to 750 billion years' power generation of a 250,000-kilowatt power station.

There are more than 654.38 million species of birds, about 2,000 species of fish, precious aquatic products such as pearl shellfish, conch and sea cucumber, and the potential catch is nearly 2 million tons. ...

Writing here, a social animal who can only work in office 996 has left tears of disappointment in her mouth.

These are all great rivers and mountains in my family.

However, there are always one or two people who like to interfere in other people's family affairs.

On July 13, the State Council issued a statement rejecting China's claim to sovereignty over specific areas in the South China Sea.

I can't help thinking that at the beginning of the month, when our navy was conducting military exercises in the Xisha Islands, the United States also sent two aircraft carriers, Reagan and Nimitz, to the South China Sea to join in the fun. The carrier-based aircraft did not stop for 24 hours, and even came to Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force for a joint training.

Just like I exercise in my own home. You came across the ocean to show off a wave of muscles at my door, and first complained, "It's him, he's destabilizing the situation!" "

My mother's view on this matter is simpler: the thief shouted to catch the thief.

My little nephew recited a passage directly:

"Xisha Islands is a group of islands in the South China Sea, which is the coastal defense outpost of China. It is a lovely place with beautiful scenery and rich products. "

"The rich Xisha Islands are the place where our ancestors grew up. With the development of the motherland's construction, the lovely Xisha Islands will surely become more beautiful and rich. "

Xisha Islands are the inherent territory of China, and there is no dispute. China's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea are inviolable.

Even elementary school students know common sense, Sister Egg is not BB.

I want to tell a secret and great story that happened and is happening at the southern tip of China, which is a blue sea stretching over 2 million square kilometers and dotted with more than 200 islands and reefs.

1974 65438+1October 12, People's Daily published a statement on the front page, denouncing the Saigon authorities in South Vietnam for repeatedly violating China's sovereignty over the South China Sea for several years.

By that time, the Vietnam War had ended. Before withdrawing troops, the United States transferred nearly 100 large and small ships to South Vietnam. The Saigon authorities, who are losing ground at home, feel that they are holding "heavy naval forces" and their mentality is bursting.

On June 5438+1October 15, the South Vietnamese Navy sent the destroyer "Th??ng Ki?t" to invade the waters of the Yongle Islands in Xisha, driving away fishing boats and injuring our fishermen. Later, on June 5438+07- 18, more "Chen Qingyu", "Chen" and "Female Pottery" occupied Ganquan Island and Treasure Island.

Destroyer "Le Th??ng Ki?t"

At that time, China was in a special period, and its strategic focus was on the prevention of the north. The main fleets are mostly distributed in the East China Sea and the North China Sea, and little investment has been made in the construction of the South China Sea Fleet. The original 4,000-ton artillery frigates were all in disrepair and could not go to sea to fight. Only a few small warships, such as hunting submarines and minesweepers, can barely sail to the Xisha Islands waters more than 300 kilometers away.

Compared with the two sides, the other four warships have a full displacement of 8395 tons and are equipped with new weapons such as naval guns and automatic guns; Our 27 1 "Jinzhou" and 274 "Luzhou" belong to submarines, and 396 and 389 belong to minesweepers. Together, these four warships are not as heavy as a "Chen", and they are equipped with few guns and small caliber.

It's wrong. Facing the South Vietnamese navy, we look like primary school students wearing red scarves.

However, the issue of sovereignty is not a feasibility issue, but a necessity issue.

On the morning of 65438+ 10 19, the South Vietnamese navy "Nu Tao" and "Le" approached our patrol boat from the northwest, and "Chen Qingyu" and "Chen" approached from the sea south of Treasure Island in an attempt to occupy a favorable outside line so as to make a quick decision.

The South China Sea Fleet was also divided into two groups. Two minesweepers, Interceptor No.396 and No.389, Nutao No.27 1 and 271,entered the southeast sea area of the island and confronted Chen Qingyu and Chen.

At 7: 40, the "Chen Qingyu" sent 23 South Vietnamese soldiers to land on Chenhang Island. They were forced back by the militia on the island with bayonets and had to evacuate from the ship.

At 7: 49, the "Chen" also sent 2 1 armed men to the island, and there was a small-scale conflict with the island-guarding militia, and two South Vietnamese squadron leaders were killed.

15,8: 00,389 collided with the Lethnang Kit in the confrontation. Because we have always carried out the "three noes" policy of "don't take the initiative to cause trouble, don't shoot the first shot, and don't suffer losses", no matter how the ships in South Vietnam pick things up, the war has never started.

At 9: 04, two shots were suddenly fired on the deck of the "Chen Qingyu". It turned out that a gunner went off fire, and the muzzle was urgently zeroed to show his invincibility.

Just confused.

10: 22, after the warships that failed to land on the island were rested, the South Vietnamese navy suddenly changed its face and launched a battle formation to attack our warship formation.

Although our ship is light in tonnage and few in artillery, it is relatively flexible and suitable for rapid attack. It is more advantageous to enter the dead angle of enemy ship artillery and attack its communication command and fire control system in melee. If South Vietnam wants to give full play to the advantages of long-range large-caliber artillery, the distance between the two armies should be as far as possible.

Then, after the fighting started, a magical landscape appeared-China's small ships chased South Vietnamese ships.

In the panic, the 274 ship was recognized as the "command center" and suffered more than 40 shells and was scarred. However, the distance between the two armies has been shortened from 2000 meters at the time of the war to dozens of meters, and our advantage of high firepower density is reflected.

10: 35, the ammunition depot and steering gear of our 389 ship were hit one after another in the entanglement with enemy ships. At the last minute, the out-of-control ship 389 collided with the "Nutao" with all its strength.

In this docking battle, the sailors on the 389 ship grabbed all kinds of light weapons and carried out "hand-to-hand combat" with the South Vietnamese troops on the "Nu Tao". In the end, the peach was beaten so badly that even the captain was killed.

After the "Nu Tao" lost power, the 396 ship began to turn south to support the 27 1 formation. At the same time, the 27 1 formation also concentrated its firepower on the communication command and firepower system of the "Chen Qingyu". The cabin of "Chen Qingyu" was hit and had to retreat under the cover of "Chen Zhongping".

Some people may be curious. What about Th??ng Ki?t who fought against the angry waves?

It turned out that shortly after the war, the Lethnang Kit was hit in the engine room by its own friendly ship and "returned to the factory for maintenance" before it went on stage. When it returned to the stage to try to rescue Nutao, China's strengthening boats 28 1 and 282 also entered the war zone and launched shelling on Nutao. At 14: 52, the women's road.

In fact, as early as the day before, boats 28 1 and 282 had arrived at Yongxing Island, but the radio communication was turned off after the ship docked, and it was not until the morning of 19 that the superior ordered reinforcements.

There is a saying that turning off the radio station after landing is to save fuel.

However, we still won the self-defense counterattack.

In the Xisha naval battle, we recovered the occupied Ganquan Island, Coral Island and Treasure Island at the expense of seriously injuring No.389 and slightly injuring No.274 and No.396, sacrificing 18 people and injuring 67 people.

Since then, Xisha has been at war for more than 40 years.

1988, entrusted by UNESCO, China wanted to build an ocean observatory in Nansha Islands. Subsequently, our navy began to set up posts on the reefs controlled by the Nansha Islands.

If there is no land, put the house on the sea-with steel as the "cornerstone", bamboo as the pillar, bamboo mat as the wall and asphalt as the roof, a house of 10 square meter will be built.

Of course, the most important "decoration" is a five-star red flag.

Everyday life is in this small room. The most worrying supply is sultry and mosquitoes. Yongshu Reef has no fresh water, and sometimes it catches up with typhoons, and supply ships can't reach it. The cabin was hit by huge waves, and the officers and men guarding the reef had to receive rainwater for purification.

This is the front line of the battle, and they must pull themselves together to stop the enemy from invading. Fighters sometimes even fly over the roof, and warships and armed fishing boats sometimes approach for reconnaissance.

Despite loneliness, illness and fear, the first generation of reef keepers stuck to the front line of southern Xinjiang and became a symbol of China's sovereignty.

The officers and men guarding the reef live in the second generation of high-rise residential buildings.

Now, the Yongshu Reef, which once could only accommodate two people, has become a Yongshu Island with a permanent land area of 2.8 square kilometers, with hospitals, airports, vegetable fields and stadiums. Is this the ingenuity of nature?

No, it's called land reclamation. (fork will waist)

The so-called land reclamation is similar to land reclamation, which turns the ocean into land by artificial means.

For Nansha, the most important thing in shoals is sea sand. But so much sea sand, shovels and grab buckets are like ants moving, which is extremely inefficient. The most economical and effective way is to fill it-

Surround the shoals around the Nansha reef plate, and install a large pump on the sand dredger to blow the sand and water on the seabed into the target circle. After the seawater flows out, the sand left behind will pile up in circles and slowly fill up into land.

Vietnam reclamation project

In order to meet the normal life of our officers and men stationed on the island and the residents on the island, there is only one word for land reclamation, fast.

This pioneer who can "make land overnight" acts like a pea shooter and is named "Whale".

During the operation, the Celestial Whale directly digs up the coral reef rocks nearby with a reamer with a power of up to 4200kw, sucks the mixture of sea sand and seawater at a speed of 4,500 cubic meters per hour, and then discharges it to the farthest distance of 6,000 meters through the pipeline, which can blow up more than10,000 cubic meters of sea sand every day.

Even in the face of 8 sea breeze, it can work normally.

As soon as the Celestial Whale comes out, it can fill out a football field at sea in an hour.

20 19, another farmer soldier "Tian Kun" came out. Compared with its predecessors, Tian Kun's technology is more fierce, and it also has a "smarter brain"-it can calculate soil and tidal water level, and it is all-electric, which also reduces the environmental burden.

Mechanical monsters quietly filled the ocean of the South China Sea. In just a few years, Yongshu Reef "bombed" Yongshu Island, Chigua Reef "bombed" Chigua Island and mischief reef "bombed" Meiji Island.

There are not only airstrips, but also hospitals, lighthouses, weather stations and scientific research institutions. With the enthusiasm of infrastructure enthusiasts, the officers and men guarding the island lived in a spacious and comfortable reef castle. They can watch TV, blow air conditioning and protect our southern Xinjiang waters with peace of mind.

China's third generation "high-legged house"

20 13, Xisha Islands officially opened for tourism.

The pure sea, the blue sky, the mysterious land and the underwater world full of commerce all open their arms to us.

All this is thanks to the officers and men stationed on the island.

Compared with the beautiful and rich natural environment in Sansha, the officers and men stationed on the island live a different life.

The climate in Sansha has three highs: high temperature, high salt and high humidity.

The first gift I received when I was stationed here was "Xisha Black" from the scorching sun and the sea breeze.

They were greeted by lack of water and food.

Previously, the saline-alkali content of Sansha land exceeded the standard, and food crops and plants could not survive. Vegetables are shipped by supply, while fruit is a luxury.

Once, a soldier went out to market and brought back 10 watermelons without buying anything.

He ate eight watermelons in one breath and stood there staring blankly with a round belly.

Someone asked him if he could still eat so many watermelons.

He said, no, save your stomach and eat the remaining two melons at night.

However, growing vegetables is a national talent of China people.

Because of the lack of soil, everyone who goes home to visit relatives has to bring back 15 kilograms of soil from their hometown and put it in the greenhouse on the island. In this way, slowly, with vegetables, vitamins can be self-sufficient.

There is no fresh water on Yongxing Island. Many times only female soldiers can take a bath, and male soldiers can only wait for rain if they want to take a bath.

So there was the only rain detachment of the whole army, which was responsible for collecting water, purifying water and supplying water to the island residents.

Unlike other people in the army, Rain Class likes rain. Whenever it rains, 1 squad leader and four soldiers in the class will happily run to the airport-Yongxing Island Airport and apron are specially designed with a radian of five thousandths, so that when it rains, rainwater will flow into the water storage pit, and after a series of operations such as precipitation, filtration and disinfection, it will reach the national drinking water standard.

With the gradual maturity of China's sand control experience, after technical improvement, more than 500 kilograms of vegetables can be planted in half an acre of Xisha Beach, which solves the food ration and the remaining land is used for planting flowers and trees.

In the 1990s, when Yang Dezhi, then Chief of General Staff of the People's Liberation Army of China, visited Xisha troops in the future, he planted a coconut tree in the courtyard of Xisha Navy Guest House. Since then, it has become a rule for generals to plant a coconut tree, which is called "General Forest". Now, more than 65,438+0,400 coconut trees have been planted.

The first coconut tree in Jiangjunlin

General Lin today

Yongxing Island has also changed from a sandbar to an oasis.

Now, in Sansha, the first school has been built, a post office has been opened and the Internet has been connected. Residents on the island can also buy new things that they can't see on weekdays through online shopping.

On the bustling Beijing road, there are cold drinks shops and barber shops, and small supermarkets can also buy seasonal fruits and popular snacks.

Every day, when the five-star red flag rises in Ran Ran in front of Sansha People's Government Square, a peaceful and quiet day begins.

Fishermen cast nets, children carrying schoolbags, and immature children's voices rang out in the classroom:

Blue sky and green coconut. Gold Coast, Yinhaisha, ask my family, what's its name? My surname is Zhonghua.

Colorful Sansha is my home. This is a beautiful Chinese painting. I love Sansha, I love home, and I love my motherland, Greater China.

End of movement

In the primary school Chinese textbook, there is an article "The Rich Xisha Islands". Until now, I can still remember the description of Xisha Islands:

The waters around Xisha Islands are colorful and magnificent: dark blue, light blue, light green and apricot yellow. Fragments, strips, intertwined. Because the seabed is uneven, there are cliffs and canyons, and the sea water is deep and shallow. Seen from the sea, the color is different.

There are all kinds of corals on the rocks at the bottom of the sea, some like blooming flowers and some like forked antlers. Sea cucumbers are everywhere, lazily crawling on the seabed. The big lobster is armored all over and comes and goes in a horrible way.

Fish flock through the coral, which is very beautiful. Some are covered with colored stripes; Some have a cluster of red tassels on their heads; Some are like fans inserted all over the body, waving when swimming; Some eyes are round, and their bodies are covered with thorns, which are round like a ball. There are countless kinds of fish. As people say, the sea of Xisha Islands is half water and half fish.

……

Beautiful words and beautiful illustrations, from then on, I made up my mind to go to Xisha Islands when I grow up.

To this day, it has not been successful.

I have consulted the travel agency. Due to the limited means of transportation, at present, ordinary tourists only travel to three islands by cruise: Quanfukushima, Yuyin Island and Yagong Island.

Although the beauty of these three islands is enough to subvert my perception of beauty.

But subconsciously, I still hope that one day, in addition to watching the sunrise in Shidao, picking up shells in Yagong Island, watching the dragon pit in Yuyin Island and catching crabs in Fukushima, I can also board Yongxing Island, visit the southernmost city in China, make a card and stamp it, and then feel a little proud:

Look, this beautiful place is my home.
