In the long course of history, some unexpected events often become interludes in the story and leave a deep impression. Today, we're going to focus on an incredible experience on the island in the Paracels, and let's explore the mysteries together.
Mysterious and spooky things often happen in the most casual moments. On September 23, 1973, a U.S. military auxiliary ship "Jack Brown" The cargo ship "Sgt. J. Pendleton" was sailing from Vietnam to the United States. However, on the way, it strayed into the sea near Zhongjian Island in the Xisha and ran aground. For safety, the U.S. rescue team removed the ship's electronics and ammunition before detonating the ship, causing it to sink. However, after this incident, it ushered in an incredible turn of events.
Unexpectedly, the detonated cargo ship became a "temporary residence" for the troops defending the island in the waters near Zhongjian Island, and was affectionately called the "Xisha Cabin" by the officers and men on the island. Hundreds of warriors defending the island lived in this makeshift residence for more than a thousand days and nights. They used creativity and perseverance to carve out an island with a strong fighting atmosphere, turning the "Xisha Cabin" into their home.
Unfortunately, the historical background has brought turmoil to Zhongjian Island and the surrounding waters. While the island defenders were staying, three Vietnamese armed ships suddenly attacked Zhongjian Island in the Paracels, and all 24 soldiers defending the island were captured. This incident has once again aroused people's attention and discussion about this area.
We can't help but wonder why this tiny island is so hotly contested. In fact, Xisha Zhongjian Island is not only geographically important, but also rich in natural resources and strategic significance. However, more importantly, it symbolizes the sovereignty of the country and the dignity of the nation. Therefore, all forces have engaged in a long-term contest here.
Although the relocation and attacks on the island have caused people to worry about the security situation in the area, the soldiers who defend the island have always held on to the land and defended the interests of the country with their flesh and blood. Their dedication and sacrifice are beyond words, but they remain optimistic and determined. It is precisely because of their presence that this sea area can be protected and the interests of the country can be safeguarded.
On the seemingly mundane island, endless stories and legends are hidden. The history of the island has gone through many twists and conflicts, but the heroic resistance and steadfast defense of the island defenders have made this land a symbol of national rights and interests.
Let us pay our respects to the warriors who once defended this land and hope that their efforts will not be forgotten. At the same time, let us also have expectations and hopes for the future, and believe that peace and stability in this sea area will become our common goal.
In the face of new challenges and opportunities, the country and everyone should have the responsibility and responsibility to protect this land. Only in this way can we ensure peace and prosperity in this sea, and keep the island's stories alive.
