Chapter Forty-Seven: A Chance Encounter with Falken at Sea. Haosen(1)

Embarking on a new journey, the Ryukyu Anti-Japanese Army was full of hesitation and faced new challenges, and the soldiers were even more enthusiastic. But their passion did not bring them good luck, and the torrential rain and rough waves of the sea constantly tossed their nerves and wills.

In order to avoid encountering the Japanese army, Lin Junxiong led his troops to hide all the weapons and equipment, and the two merchant ships were all disguised as Japanese merchant ships, and the soldiers were scattered to disguise themselves. The route was chosen to go to the Daito Islands in the Pacific Ocean first, and then sail to Kikai Island near Amami Oshima after replenishment.

Lin Junxiong stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the sea with some anxiety, affected by the heavy rain and unstable waves, he sailed for ten days to the distance of 500 kilometers to the Dadong Islands and still disappeared. At this time, I saw the surging white waves on the sea rolling from the sky, and the silver-white waves pushed and chased, gradually from far to near, the closer and higher, the higher and louder, like a roaring sound of thousands of horses. After the waves shook the boat for a while, the layers of waves expanded into the distance and slowly subsided, as if taking a breath, leaving a fleeting bubble. Suddenly there were dark clouds in the sky, and seabirds were flying around, as if looking for a safe haven. Lin Junxiong sighed: "The storm is coming again. ”

While Hayashi Toshio and his troops were experiencing a stormy test at sea, the people of the Ryukyus were also experiencing a great ideological impact. More than a month ago, a team called the Ryukyu Anti-Japanese Army wiped out more than 1,300 Japanese troops on Ishigaki Island after destroying many Japanese troops in Naha and Miyako Island. Later, the Japanese army sent a wing to Ishigaki Island, and claimed that the place where the Japanese army was active carried out several bombings, and not even a single mosquito would be alive, and the hearts of the Ryukyu people began to sink, and in the following month, the anti-Japanese army had no news, and the Ryukyu people began to despair, was it just a flash in the pan? Then news came that the anti-Japanese army was resting on a hidden island somewhere, and would soon reappear to continue fighting with the Japanese army, and the people of the Ryukyus were again aroused and began to inquire about the situation and whereabouts of this team. It's just that the Japanese army frantically searched and killed, suppressing everyone's enthusiasm.

The Daito Islands are located in the Pacific Ocean, under the jurisdiction of Okinawa Prefecture in Japan, and are located 350 kilometers east of Okinawa Prefecture. Beidadong Island and Nandadong Island are the largest islands in the island group, with a total area of 40.5 square kilometers, both of which are coral islands, with dense vegetation and steep cliffs, mainly planted with sugar cane, and only have a population of more than 500 people.

When the Ryukyu Anti-Japanese Army arrived on Kitaoto Island, it had already been twelve days since they set out from Iriomote Island. Replenishment on the sparsely populated island was difficult, and warriors rushed out to buy food supplies from the local population disguised as merchants. Lin Junxia stood on the edge of a cliff, looking at the calm sea that made people unable to breathe, feeling restless and upset. At this time, a pair of strong hands behind her hugged her, and she felt the familiar breath, and her heart calmed down.

Lin Junxiong kissed her lightly before letting go, then picked up two sections of sugarcane from the ground, tore off one section of the skin with his teeth before handing it to Lin Junxia, and said in his mouth: "I have tried nearly 100 in the sugarcane field, and only then did I select the three sweetest ones, first send two sections to you to satisfy your hunger, and I will let them take the rest back to the ship, and you can eat it when the time comes." ”

Lin Junxia took a bite of the sugarcane and said sweetly: "It's so sweet, swallow it, and your heart will be sweet." Then she snuggled into his arms, chewed on the sugar cane, and said, "My man, you are so stupid, choose three out of nearly a hundred sugar canes." ”

Lin Junxiong looked down at the lover in his arms and said emotionally: "Maybe I can't give you the best in the world, but I will do my best to give you the best I can." ”

"Just now I was restless for a while, so worried about what happened to you, as long as you are by my side, the world is colorful, and whatever you give is the best. My man, promise me that I can't live without you for me to live well. ”

"My woman, I promise you, in order for us to see more sunrises and sunsets together, and to enjoy a bland and happy life together, I will live well."

The two sat hugging each other, feeling the magnificence of the sea and the beautiful scenery of the sunset.

The sun slowly approached the earth's plane, and it was like a kind elder, caressing the sea with its hands full of vicissitudes, full of affection. The old man's gaze was warm and tranquil. That faint halo holds the sea in his arms, and the warm colors in the near and far distances give the sea a unique tranquility of dusk.

Looking up, the sunset weaves orange colored silk around the sunset, reflecting layers of tulle-like afterglow, gently fluttering in the wind. Surrounded by the magnificent sun, I can't bear to go, and my heart is contradictory: on the one hand, I feel the joy of returning home, and on the other hand, I feel deep affection for the sea. It looked like a helpless child, looking left and right, and a faint flush welled up on its face. Maybe I was too tired, but it didn't take long for half of my body to sink into the sea, the sunset was bright red, and the sea was still brilliant, showing a scene of "half sea and half sea red".

Finally, it rolled mischievously on the horizon and quietly returned to where it was going to return. The sea melts into the twilight again, is it all over? No, tomorrow morning, a red sun will burst out of the horizon again, to wake up all things, to light up a new day!

After spending two days on Beidadong Island, food and other supplies were sufficient, and the anti-Japanese army also embarked on the voyage again.

The ship sailed smoothly at sea for three days, and the will of Lin Junxiong and the fighters of the anti-Japanese army was constantly beaten, and many new fighters joining Iriomote Island were even more demoralized. Fortunately, Li Yuheng and others used the deeds of Chinese celebrities in time to inspire everyone, and in order to do a vigorous cause, the mood of the soldiers stabilized. After the test of this voyage, perhaps by the time it comes to the real battlefield, they will mature faster.

It is estimated that there will be four or five days to reach Xijie Island, but the ship suddenly has a problem on the way to sail, the power system of the steam engine failed, and several people have not repaired it, Lin Junxiong stood at the bow of the ship and asked for help from the occasional passing ship, but several passing ships ignored it, and it was impossible for a ship to carry so many people, and when everyone was about to despair, a transport ship flying the German flag docked over.

Lin Junxiong hurriedly stepped forward to greet the other party in German and asked for assistance. In the middle of the ring, a foreign man in his 40s in a German military uniform came out and asked what was going on.

"Your Excellency Honorable Vice Admiral, we are merchants of Naha, the ship's power system has failed, please send someone to help, thank you very much." Lin Junxiong pleaded in German.

"How do you know I'm a lieutenant general?" The man in military uniform asked.

"Oh, the general's uniform betrayed you, and although you took off the rank insignia, you wore a medal that only a lieutenant general could be awarded by the German government." Lin Junxiong said slowly.

"Young man, you are not simple, observe and hold grudges carefully. I'll send someone over to repair it for you, and you can come and chat with me, is that okay? The general graciously invited.

"Your Excellency, thank you again, it is my honor to invite you."

When Lin Junxiong came to the German transport ship, the general had already arranged for the ship's maintenance personnel to repair the power system for Lin Junxiong.

"Hello, my name is Falken. Hausen, you can call me Falken. The general first introduced himself.

"Hello, my name is Lin Junxiong, a native of Fujian, China, and now I am doing business for my family."

"Haha, great, I'm going to Tokyo and then I'm going to China to provide some services to your Chinese government." Falken smiled and patted Lin Junxiong.

"Oh, then you're welcome to beautiful China."

"Lin, you're not a businessman, you're like a soldier." Falken whispered.

"General Falken, you read it wrong, I'm not a soldier."

"Lin, don't be nervous, I have no ill intentions, the intuition of a soldier is not wrong, and I am Feng who went to your China to provide advisers to your Chinese soldiers. General Seckert is his deputy, so you can trust me, right? ”

Feng. Seckert, Falken. Hausen, Lin Junxiong finally remembered that this German was later the fifth head of the military advisory group hired by Chiang Kai-shek, and von . Seckert was the fourth.

Lin Junxiong did not hide it anymore, he said that he had received relevant military training since he was a child, the two talked for a long time, talked about the domestic situation, Lin Junxiong said: "At present, China's domestic national government seems to have unified China, but in fact, internal and external troubles, internal troubles are that the local warlords who support troops are dissatisfied with the central government, and war may break out at any time, if my estimate is good, it should start in the first half of the year." ”

"Oh, how do you say? How do you see that? ”

"Yan Xishan, Feng Yuxiang, Li Zongren and others have too many troops, and sooner or later they will fight, and they will definitely take advantage of the fact that the national government is not very stable now, and it will be too late."

Lin Junxiong said and sighed, because the country had just ended the Northern Expedition War not long ago, and a new warlord war was about to start, seeing what the general was thinking, he continued: "Mr. Chiang Kai-shek's current largest force is still Zhang Xueliang in the Northeast, but the war will have huge attrition, and Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army will go out of Shanhaiguan, external instability factors will appear, and the Japanese have been staring at the Northeast like hungry wolves. ”

Lin Junxiong said that the Northeast mainly hopes that Falken will have the opportunity to tell the Nationalist Government that this can be taken as soon as possible, and as for the final result, it can only be left to fate.

Falken. In the short conversation, Hausen was shocked by Lin Junxiong's opinion, he also knew something about the situation at home and abroad before coming to China, and he had served as a military attache at the German embassy in Japan, so he knew some knowledge of Japan, and knew that he had been staring at China and was ready to take a bite at any time.

"Young man, you are amazing, you should go to military academies, to get in touch with more military knowledge, to become a good commander." Falken exclaimed.

Lin Junxiong said that he did not have time for the time being, and would consider the general's suggestion. Soon the maintenance crew repaired Lin Junxiong's ship, Lin Junxiong thanked General Falken for his assistance, and before leaving, Falken said to him: "Lin, you are an excellent talent, don't bury it." If you want to do it, you can write to me in this geology, and I can recommend you to study at any military academy in Germany. ”

"Thank you for the general's kindness, and at that time I will trouble the general again."

Falken watched Lin Junxiong leave, he was very fond of the young man, and he hoped to see him again in China.
