In 1958, during Chiang Kai-shek’s threats to retake the mainland, the Kuomintang navy attacked Fujian Province’s coast. The landing ship “Dacheng” was sunk by our torpedo boats, and Captain Wu John led troops to an unnamed island. Naval political instructor Wang Yongzhi and others, who fell into the water after a collision, also drifted there. They launched a political offensive against the enemy, who, unaware of our capabilities, awaited rescue. Prisoner Sun Gui swam back to his comrades, witnessed the cook’s beating, and returned to our side. Wang Yongzhi, seeing the enemy’s wait for rescue, forced them to reveal themselves. The enemy tried a fake negotiation to delay time. At night, Cai Dage brought reinforcements, eliminating the enemy on the island and their rescue ship.
