Toshikichi Ando was having dinner with his family, and an officer hurried over to hand him the message, and he was excited after reading it, and said to the officer: "Go and call Akai-kun over, and say that he has found the trace of his old friend Lin Junxiong." ”

Akai Naomasa appeared in front of Ando Toshiyoshi in less than ten minutes, and after learning the news of Lin Junxiong, he ran all the way over, along the way, he recalled the bits and pieces of the year, when he was still a captain of the Chaochang Jingrong Wing, and was defeated by Lin Junxiong on Ishigaki Island at that time, and he always remembered the humiliation in his heart. Later, he was transferred to Taiwan by Ando Toshikichi's appreciation, and slowly became the commander of the 322nd Division of Ando Toshikishi's Tenth Front Army with his ruthlessness.

"Akai-kun, I just received a commendation order from the military department, because of the outstanding performance of the 10th Front Army in Taiwan, I was promoted to army general, I hope that this time you can capture or eliminate Lin Junxiong and his remnants, congratulations to me, of course, I will not treat you badly, I will ask the military department to appoint you as the deputy commander of the 10th Front Army, and the rank of lieutenant general, I am also the commander-in-chief of the 10th Front Army and the governor of Taiwan, I need cadres like you to assist me in the future."

When Akai Naomasa heard Ando Toshiyoshi's promise, his mood became even more excited, "My subordinates will definitely do their best to handle Lin Junxiong's affairs well, and they will definitely live up to the love of His Excellency the General!" ”

After Akai Naomasa came out of Ando Toshikishi, he immediately mobilized all the patrol boats and a frigate to the Penghu Islands, and personally went with two wings, for fear that Lin Junxiong would escape again.

After everyone, supplies, weapons, etc. were on the ship on which Tadashi Kawakami was riding, and an hour had passed since Tadashi Kawakami was shot, Hayashi Junxiong had a premonition that it might be too late, and perhaps the Japanese had already surrounded him from all directions.

After careful consideration, Lin Junxiong decided to reach Huayu from the waterway and determine the direction of the breakthrough according to the situation. With the lessons learned from the first time, this time Wu Dafang commanded the boat to quickly reach the vicinity of Huayu through the waterway.

As Lin Junxiong expected, it was too late, the periphery was slowly approaching, so many Japanese ships, rushing over was obviously unrealistic, as long as they were entangled, the surrounding Japanese troops surrounded it, it would be difficult to escape, Lin Junxiong thought for a while, and immediately ordered the ship to turn around and head towards Penghu County.

Although it may be more dangerous there, as long as you rush over it in one breath, even if the ship is wrecked, as long as you can get close to the land of Taiwan and go ashore, there is still a glimmer of life on the vast island of Taiwan; If you have a hard encounter with the Japanese army in Huayu and fall into the sea, you will be dead, and the islands around Huayu are small and uninhabited, and if you are trapped in any place, you may suffer from the Japanese army's covering bombing, and you will still be dead and lifeless at that time.

Instead of struggling in the vast sea, it is better to go the opposite way, enter the hinterland of the island of Taiwan, and then find other ways out. Lin Junxiong ordered, Wu Dafang nodded appreciatively, obviously he understood what he meant, and the members of the elite commando team firmly trusted Lin Junxiong's decision.

Li Shengjie and Fang Bin also looked at Lin Junxiong with firm eyes, since they decided to follow, even if there was a sea of swords and fires in front of them, they would be fearless.

The encirclement has been tightened everywhere, and there is no trace of Lin Junxiong and his party everywhere, where did they go? Did they hide on some uninhabited island? But why was there no boat to be found anywhere? Could it be that they hid on some small island and sank the boat they were on?

Countless speculations flashed through Akai Naomasa's mind, if Lin Junxiong really hid, as long as they waited until daytime, they would have no way out. Akai Naomasa was about to order the troops everywhere to be vigilant and wait until daylight before acting, when a call from the Penghu Waterway found a suspicious boat.

Akai Naomasa first excitedly ordered the troops in the Penghu Waterway to shrink over, and then brought people over himself, he suddenly thought that Lin Junxiong could be so stupid to wait for death, if he wanted to find an opportunity, he had to take advantage of the dark. What a great honor it would be if Lin Junxiong could be captured alive or his body kept intact and sent to Tokyo!

He immediately issued a second order, striving to capture Lin Junxiong alive, if not alive, at least to preserve his intact body.

Lin Junxiong looked at the Japanese patrol boats that were constantly coming in front of him, and calmly ordered: "Da Zhuang and Zhao Xing each take four people on both sides, and when they are 100 meters away from the enemy, they will use bazookas to fire five times in a row at the same time; The rest of us were directly ahead with me, and the bazookas were fired non-stop, blowing up a path; Uncle Dafang is responsible for directing the ship to move, no matter what the situation encounters, we can't stop, as long as we rush to the island of Taiwan and go ashore, our chances of survival will increase by a few percent. ”

With Lin Junxiong's order, the ship rushed towards the Japanese army like an arrow, and Lin Junxiong, Da Zhuang and Zhao Xing were in front of the three directions and ready to attack.

There were two lines of Japanese patrol boats lined up in the waterway in front of them, there were thirty or forty of them, and when they saw Lin Junxiong's boat rushing over, they all panicked, and they should have opened fire immediately, but Akai Naomasa's order to capture them alive made them cringe a little, for fear that the bones of this evil star would be gone.

The distance between the two sides was less than a hundred meters, the Japanese army seemed to be stationary, and the patrol boats were just cruising in front, as if they were just trying to block Lin Junxiong's advance route, but they did not want to fight to the death.

"Big brother, the devil won't have any conspiracy behind him, right?" Fang Yun saw that the Japanese army looked like he was luring the enemy deeper, and asked with some concern.

Lin Junxiong smiled slightly, "Most of the devils want to capture us alive, and now it is estimated that the large army is rushing to this side, but they have given us a chance in this way, as long as we rush out before their large army arrives, they can only see our backs." ”

"Attention everyone, all launched in three seconds!"

With Lin Junxiong's order, more than a dozen people put the shells at the mouth of the bazooka, and three seconds later, the shells went straight to the Japanese patrol boat with a whistling sound. After five consecutive fires, several patrol boats were heavily damaged, and two of them slowly sank with the light of fire and the screams of devils.

"Concentrate on attacking the enemy within twenty meters of the horizontal in front of you!"

After encountering a fierce attack on the Japanese patrol boats within 20 meters in front, they turned and fled from this dangerous area, and when Lin Junxiong and his boat rushed closer than 20 meters, only two patrol boats within 20 meters of the front were severely damaged and could not leave.

The distance is getting closer and closer, Wu Dafang is a little anxious, the two patrol boats in front of him blocked the way forward, if he rushes over, I don't know if the ship will suffer heavy damage, Lin Junxiong's previous order is that no matter what happens, he can't stop, he gritted his teeth, and commanded the boat to rush to the side of a Japanese patrol boat.

When Lin Junxiong saw that the boat was about to rush past the patrol boat of the devil, he immediately ordered the people at the bow of the boat to retreat and find a place to hurry.

There was a loud "bang", the hull of the ship shook violently, and it took a while to stabilize, but the speed of the ship slowed down, Lin Junxiong estimated that the boat had been injured under the collision with the Japanese patrol boat just now, and when he looked up, the Japanese patrol boat that was hit was slowly sinking.

The other patrol boats of the Japanese army that reacted slowly approached, Lin Junxiong immediately ordered all the soldiers to concentrate on the stern of the ship to fight, Wu Dafang checked the damage to the ship, and found that it was still moving, so he immediately adjusted the direction and accelerated towards the direction of Taiwan Island.

When Akai Naomasa arrived, he found that more than a dozen patrol boats had been sunk, but fortunately, Lin Junxiong's ship did not escape, and he stepped forward on a frigate and ordered his troops to fire cannons on both sides of Lin Junxiong's merchant ship, trying to blow it up.

The merchant ship was scarred by the explosion on both sides, and seeing that one of the other party's frigates was less than 200 meters away, Lin Junxiong was about to shout to resist, Da Zhuang and Zhao Xing surrounded him, and the shells were gone.

"Find cover, shoot with a machine gun!"

The damage of the machine-gun team frigate was almost negligible, and in less than five minutes the frigate was already more than a hundred meters away from the merchant ships.

The merchant ships were shaking more and more under the bombardment of the enemy's artillery fire, and Lin Junxiong's heart began to sink, did he want to die in the sea with his brothers?

"There are still 200 meters to land!" Zhao Xing inadvertently turned around, saw a clear land, and shouted excitedly.

As soon as Lin Junxiong turned around, he found that it was indeed the outline of land, and he immediately ordered: "Everyone gather at the bow of the boat, ready to jump into the sea and swim to the shore at any time!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the merchant ship seemed to have touched the reef at the bottom of the ship, and it shook even more, Wu Dafang rushed out of the boat and shouted: "The bottom of the ship is already flooded, and it can't be blocked, so get ready to jump ship!" ”

When Lin Junxiong and the others jumped into the sea together, Akai Naomasa shouted excitedly: "Quick, rush up!" ”

"Major General, there is shallow water ahead, there is a reef"

"Yaga! Hurry up and capture Lin Junxiong and his party alive! Akai Naomasa's mind was full of scenes of Lin Junxiong being captured alive, where could he listen to it, and waved his arms and ordered loudly.

A loud "bang" calmed Akai down, and the violent shaking of the frigate also made him sit down on the bow of the ship.

"Yaga! What's going on? ”

"Your Excellency Rear Admiral, the frigate has hit the reef and cannot move forward!"

Akai Naomasa watched the merchant ship not far in front of him slowly sink, and knew that Lin Junxiong and his party must have jumped into the sea and swam to the shore, so he immediately ordered: "Immediately telegraph Commander Ando that Lin Junxiong and his party were forced by us to be in the coastal area of Chiayi, and asked to send someone to encircle them from land." ”

After receiving the news, Ando Toshiyoshi immediately ordered the garrison of Chiayi to surround the direction provided by Akai Naomasa, and in order to prevent Lin Junxiong from escaping again, he personally led the team to set off overnight to form a second encirclement from the periphery.

After Lin Junxiong and his entourage went ashore, they counted the number of people and searched in the dark. Although he escaped the danger for the time being, now that he has no weapons and equipment, he must first be armed, look for a place to hide in this completely unfamiliar island of Taiwan, and then look for an opportunity to leave.

After dragging his tired body forward in the dark for an hour, Lin Junxiong's dozen people finally found a village, and after a simple supply in a people's house, they continued to move forward.

As soon as he came out of the village, he saw a fire not far away, and there was a barking of dogs from time to time, Lin Junxiong hurriedly led everyone to hide in the woods next to him, but the devil's hounds looked for it, and hundreds of devils surrounded Lin Junxiong and more than a dozen people.

Entering the depths of the woods, Lin Junxiong was thinking about how to break out, when there was a sound of stumbling behind him, and then a group of people dressed as people with guns surrounded Lin Junxiong with more than a dozen people, and the first one of them shook over with a torch, and shouted excitedly: "Lin Yingying, is it you?" I'm Wu Guoxing! ”

"Wu Guoxing, deputy captain of the Alishan anti-Japanese guerrillas?"
