Chapter 20: Prelude to Operation Five Islands and Six Peaks (2)
Lin Junxiong knew that everyone said that they were confident, but they must be wondering in their hearts, such a long-distance march, many exchanges of fire with the Japanese army, almost several times on the edge of life and death. But he really had no choice, he set himself the goal of returning to China after the age of eighteen, returning to the heart of China, and only when China got back on its feet could he help the Ryukyus, the former subordinate of Tibet, to recover. Although this operation is full of crises and will be wiped out if you are not careful, it can also make the team grow faster and make the team's willpower stronger. At the same time, it awakened the people of the Ryukyus and strengthened the anti-Japanese forces.
After thinking about it, Lin Junxiong sighed for a long time before he said slowly: "The Ryukyu Islands have been invaded and occupied by Japan for more than 50 years, and the Amami Islands have been invaded and occupied for more than 300 years. Through this operation, I not only want to test the willpower of the team and improve the team's actual combat ability, but also want everyone to remember that this beautiful island has a common name called Ryukyu, so that the people of Ryukyu know that there is still a team fighting for Ryukyu, so that those who are still sleeping can wake up and stand up and fight together. ”
Everyone didn't expect that Lin Junxiong thought so far, and the trace of doubt in his heart quickly dissipated, and at the same time stood up and said loudly: "I will wait to complete the task and resolutely obey the order." ”
Seeing this scene, Lin Junxiong suddenly felt like a warlord, couldn't help laughing, and ordered everyone to sit down and discuss a detailed plan of action.
On August 8, 1929, Hayashi Toshio led the Ryukyu Anti-Japanese Wing from the Naha training camp, and after arriving at a village outside Naha, he ordered two squads to form a team to wait for the opportunity to find and disperse the Japanese attack, and send it by himself.
The Japanese garrison in the Ryukyu Islands was concentrated in Okinawa Prefecture, and Naha City was also under key control, and there were heavily armed Japanese troops at the gates of the city, and Japanese troops patrolling the streets of the city were everywhere. Lin Junxiong and his entourage successfully came to the Fulong Trading Company, where Lin Liren's family secretly resides, the nominal person in charge of the trading company is a Japanese, but this Japanese is actually a Ryukyuan man who Lin Liren helped him change his Japanese identity a long time ago, his original name is Lin Jiarong, and now his name is Kimura Natsu. Lin Jiarong warmly welcomed the group and said that he would obey the arrangement.
Lin Junxiong was overjoyed in his heart, with this trading company, his own intelligence network system should be established soon. After repeatedly confirming that Lin Jiarong was reliable, after dinner, Lin Junxiong called Lin Jiarong to his room alone to discuss the arrangement of the intelligence network, and finally decided to station two people each on Naha, Okinawa, and Omi Oshima, and one person each on Iriomote Island, Ishigaki Island, and Tokunoshima Island, and Lin Dong was responsible for summarizing and sending the information to the coalition forces.
originally thought that it would take a lot of effort, but with Lin Jiarong's help, in just three days, the personnel of the intelligence squad had been arranged by Lin Jiarong to the corresponding place through his relationship.
It was useless to sit and worry about the safety of his brothers, so Lin Junxiong took Dusheng and Lin Wang to prepare for a walk around to see the ruins of the Ryukyu Kingdom.
The ruins of the Ryukyu Kingdom are located in Shurijo Castle, and the first step to enter Shurijo Castle is through the Morimon Gate, which was built in 1528, and there is a plaque in the middle of the roof that reads: "The State of Ryure", which means "Ryukyu is the State of Etiquette", to represent the spirit, civilization, and demeanor of the Ryukyu Kingdom. This is the origin of the name of the Shoremon Gate. This gives a glimpse of the international nature of the Ryukyu Dynasty, which traded with Japan mainland, China, and the Korean Peninsula at the time.
To the left of the Morimon Gate is the "Sonohiya Taketake Ontake" stone gate, which is the entrance to the worship hall of the Ryukyu royal family. It used to be a place where kings prayed for safety on their journeys when they went out of town. Next up is the party gate. It is a sturdy gate sandwiched between stone walls and is the entrance to the castle tower. There is a water outlet called "Ryudori" on the right side of the front, and water flows out of the dragon's mouth. It is said that this water was once the drinking water of the Imperial Palace. Leaving the "Dragon Pass", passing through the Ruiquan Gate, the Leakage Gate, and the Guangfu Gate, it is the last door in front of the main hall to worship the gods, and you will come to the square in front of the main hall called "Imperial Garden". The double-storey building of the main hall is very similar to the Taihe Hall of the Forbidden City in Beijing, but the scale is smaller, with 161 large pillars, 60,000 red tiles, and a variety of sculptures such as the golden lion and flying dragon, which fully shows the glorious history of the Ryukyu Dynasty.
Looking at the scenes that integrate Chinese culture, Lin Junxiong secretly vowed in his heart that he must do something for the recovery of the Ryukyu Islands, which have been a vassal to China for hundreds of years.
At noon, the three of them found a restaurant with some Chinese characteristics, and as soon as they sat down, they heard two people at the next table who seemed to be the original residents of the Ryukyus talking in a low voice.
"I heard that yesterday the Ryukyu anti-Japanese army killed a Japanese squad in the coastal village of Luohua, and then left."
"No, didn't their leader, the Black Carbon King, hear that he went to Mt. Mototoke on Ishigaki Island?"
"What my cousin saw yesterday is still tender? Last year, I heard that King Kurotan led the Ryukyus anti-Japanese army to wipe out a squadron of the Japanese army on Aka Island, and then ran to Ishigaki Island after being encircled and suppressed and suffered heavy losses. ”
"The Black Carbon King is really good, he is the hero of our Ryukyus."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Lin Junxiong turned his head to look at Du Sheng, and the two of them laughed dumbly. Lin Wang had long known from Lin Dong that the matter of Aka Island was done by Lin Junxiong and them, and he almost died. Lin Junxiong hurriedly grabbed him, shook his head at him, and motioned for him to sit down and not act rashly, Lin Wang had to sit down helplessly, his face full of grievances.
From the conversation between the two, Lin Junxiong knew that there was also a Ryukyuan man named Black Tan King in Mt. Maoden, Ishigaki Island, who was organizing an anti-Japanese effort, and he thought that he would meet this buddy sooner or later. It's not that he resents the Black Carbon King for robbing him of his credit, but wants to see if he is a good man. At the same time, Lin Junxiong also knew that there were brothers who fought beautifully in Yuanfu Village.
Dusk Sheng seemed to have guessed that the battle in Yuanfu Village was done by the Anti-Japanese Wing, and gave Lin Junxiong a thumbs up, and both of them laughed, and after a few seconds, Lin Wang seemed to understand and laughed.
After lunch, Lin Junxiong prepared to take the trail back to Naha, one of which was close to the path, and the other was to enjoy the scenery with traces of Chinese culture along the way. After traveling for half a day, Lin Junxiong and the three came to a village, when he saw the memorial arch at the entrance of the village, he thought that there was such a memorial arch outside the village where the old house in his hometown was located, and the memorial arch also used Chinese characters to write the words "Houde Zaiwu". Thinking of his parents in the distance, thinking of the motherland in the distance, and thinking of the bleak situation in the Ryukyus, Lin Junxiong couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Dusk Sheng stepped forward and patted Lin Junxiong's shoulder, and he was also a little depressed, and only said in a half-loud voice, "It's been more than three years since I left home, and I'm homesick too." ”
The two of them sighed incessantly, making Lin Wang at a loss, and he didn't know how to comfort the two.
Suddenly, a person in his twenties rushed not far away, stumbling on his feet, looking like he had encountered something urgent, and had traveled a long way. Seeing Lin Junxiong and the others, as if he saw hope, he said breathlessly: "Quickly inform the village that a few girls in the village have been captured by more than a dozen Japanese soldiers." ”
Lin Junxiong instructed Lin Wang to go to the village to report the news, and at the same time helped the visitor and asked, "Where is it?" ”
"Follow this road to the Maoriwa seaside for less than 2 kilometers."
"You wait here for our companion who just reported it, let's stop it first." After Lin Junxiong finished speaking, he and Dusheng rushed along the road.
Ten minutes later, Lin Junxiong and Du Sheng came to an open place, only to see seven Japanese soldiers watching four plainly dressed women, and in front of the Japanese soldiers, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy was scolding several people in Japanese: "You brutes, I am ashamed of your behavior. ”
"You know, we were ordered from above to go to the outer villages to grab some women and go to the Okinawa military camp to form a condolence group to comfort the warriors of our Great Japanese Empire. If it weren't for the fact that you are a Japanese expatriate, I would have been polite to you. A man who looked like the leader of the Japanese army loudly reprimanded the boy.
The young man continued to scold, and Lin Junxiong saw that there were only seven people on the other side, and signaled Twilight to prepare for action. At this time, four Japanese soldiers suddenly came over, and two Japanese soldiers were still carrying two women wearing cheongsams, but the faces of the women who were carrying them were blocked, and they couldn't tell their age, but they should not be very old.
The leader of the Japanese army looked at the woman who was carrying it, and shouted repeatedly: "Yo Xi, Yo Xi." He turned his head impatiently at the young man who stopped them from doing his bestiality, looked at the young man fiercely, and shouted: "Baga, if you don't go away, I'm going to be polite." ”
The boy didn't back down, but he didn't dare to speak again.
The leading Japanese soldier shook his head and motioned to the two Japanese soldiers to forcibly take the boy away, and the two Japanese soldiers reluctantly walked towards the boy, and vented their anger at the woman in front of them on the boy, and began to beat and kick the boy rudely.
Seeing that the tragedy was about to happen, Lin Junxiong immediately beckoned to Twilight, and after the two chose the location of the attack, they rushed out like arrows. Lin Junxiong twisted the head of a Japanese soldier with his hand, and at the same time flew up and kicked the other, and the two Japanese soldiers fell in response. Twilight also disposed of one, and threw out the steel helmet and smashed the other.
The remaining seven Japanese soldiers were untying their clothes and preparing to do bestiality, but when they looked at the two people who came down like gods, they were stunned for a moment, and then they came to their senses and picked up their guns and rushed over. Lin Junxiong took off the bayonet on the gun, held it and rushed towards the leading Japanese soldier, the leading Japanese soldier was about to take out his gun and shoot, the bayonet in Lin Junxiong's hand had already taken off his hand and stabbed him in the chest. Lin Junxiong took advantage of the situation to deal with the two soldiers who had not yet picked up the guns, and Du Sheng also quickly eliminated the two, and the remaining two Japanese soldiers wanted to escape without resistance.
Lin Junxiong and Du Sheng had already blocked the way to escape, and seeing that there was no hope of escape, a Japanese soldier suddenly grabbed a captured woman on the ground and blocked him. Another Japanese soldier tried to do the same, but was stabbed to death by a bayonet flying out of Twilight.
Lin Junxiong shook his head, signaling that the Japanese soldier who was still dying was useless, and the Japanese soldier used the bayonet of his rifle against the woman's chest in a panic, and his legs were shaking constantly.
The woman who was caught by the Japanese soldiers as a shield, after struggling, she couldn't see her face clearly, but she was still struggling violently just now, and she stopped struggling for some reason, I don't know if she was scared silly, or if she was thinking about something.
Lin Junxiong heyed, the woman who was the shield seemed to understand, and shook her head to the right, and at the same time, Lin Junxiong's bayonet behind his back came out of his hand, and the Japanese soldier was stabbed in the head and fell unwillingly.
Lin Junxiong was very surprised, this scene was so familiar, so familiar, he and this woman actually seemed to cooperate tacitly after many trainings, and this situation seemed to have happened once in his previous life.
Lin Junxiong walked over to support the woman and untied her. The woman slowly brushed her hair, and Lin Junxiong said in surprise, "It's you?" ”
