Starting from Jingkuang Island, Lin Junxiong and the anti-Japanese army have been adrift at sea for two days, and still have not seen the destination of Lourdes Island, the soldiers are full of tired looks, and the laughter and laughter at the beginning have disappeared, replaced by a deathly silence, and morale is gradually sinking to the freezing point.

The night was dark, and the unsettled sea was sometimes beaten against the hull of the ship, and the boat was shaking and moving slowly. Lin Junxiong looked at the map and kept comparing it, doubting and worrying in his heart, doubting that according to the navigation route, he should have seen the outline of Tokunoshima yesterday afternoon, but there was no outline of Tokunoshima, only a vast sea; The concern was that the food on board would last for up to two days, and the mood of the team was very low.

Lin Junxiong walked out of the cabin and stood at the bow of the ship looking at the endless sea, the moonlight occasionally penetrating the obscured clouds and sprinkling on the sea, a burst of sparkling. The dawn was coming, but the deeper darkness was over the sea, and there was no sound on the surface of the sea except the sound of the rushing waves.

Lin Junxiong's heart is also as heavy as this dark night, calculating the time, it has been seven months since he set off from the Nahadake training camp, and now the number of people in the team has not decreased, but many of the warriors who set off together have turned into heroic spirits and are guarding some islands in the Ryukyus. If they can't get to Tokunoshima or find other small islands to replenish food for another two days, the anti-Japanese army will face the desperate situation of starving to death and dying at sea.

In the face of the liquidation of the Japanese army, they took refuge everywhere; Faced with a shortage of food, struggling to support. The existential crisis faced by the anti-Japanese army is like this darkness, if it cannot resist the darkness, then it can only be swallowed up by the darkness and perish in the darkness. The dark hour and the existence of anything are also the most critical moments to test people, if you choose to give up, then you will never see the light of dawn.

The light of dawn lifts the light veil of night, revealing a brilliant morning glow, and it is a new day, and the sun is about to rise. When the red sun jumped out of the sea, facing the hope of this new life, Lin Junxiong vaguely saw the outline of an island in the distance, and slowly got closer, it was really an island with a W shape, Lin Junxiong finally showed a smiling face, this island is the destination of Lourdes. He began to shout loudly, breaking the dead silence of the ship and calling for hope in their hearts.

There are only those who give up, and there is no road to despair. When he saw the cheering expressions of the soldiers, Lin Junxiong felt that he was still not mature enough, and as the leader of the team, he should remain calm at all times and give the team hope. In history, Cao Cao used a piece of plum forest to inspire the team to get out of the desert, and with the allusion of looking at the plum to quench his thirst, there was also a famous hero in that era.

Tokunoshima is the second largest island in the southern Amami Islands and belongs to Kagoshima Prefecture. It has an area of 247.9 square kilometers and a population of about 46,000. The island is surrounded by mountains and dense forests, including the 645-meter-high Mt. Inokawa River in the south, the 532-meter-high Mt. Amagi in the north, and the 496-meter-high Mt. Mikata-dori in the middle. It is a multi-subtropical plant that produces highly poisonous rice spoons. Agriculture is mostly dry land, mainly producing sugarcane, bananas, pineapples, and sugar. Kamezu Town, in the southwest of the island, is home to a large number of people on the island.

The team landed near Mt. Amagi in the north and camped to the north of Mt. Amagi. The warriors feasted on bananas, pineapples and other fruits, and the poisonous rice spoons were stewed into delicious snake soup or rice to make snake soup, and they enjoyed the delicious and safe feeling brought by landing.

On March 25, 1930, after three days of rest, the anti-Japanese army crossed Mount Amagi and passed through the dense jungle to the southern foot of the mountain.

The Japanese squad was guarding a stronghold in a mountain pass, which was the only way to get to Sanfang Mt. Tongdake, and it was also the only way to go to Mt. Celestial Castle. Originally, Lin Junxiong wanted to understand the situation on the island first, and was not ready to destroy this Japanese army, but he looked for a way nearby that could not be passed, so he had to let the troops annihilate the Japanese squad.

The battle ended in less than fifteen minutes, the soldiers were like tigers released in a cage, this Japanese army had no power to fight back at all, and after cleaning up the battlefield, Lin Junxiong arranged for the troops to take off the Japanese army's clothes and bring them on. After passing through the stronghold, the team divided into three groups and marched along three different roads, agreeing to meet at the summit of Mikata Dori in two days.

Lin Junxiong and the detachment of Dusheng Manxiong took a road around Sanfang Tongyue, this road went all the way to a village south of Sanfang Tongyue, strange thing was that there was no one in the village, they walked all the way to the middle of the village, heard the sound of the crowd gathering and the shouts of soldiers, Lin Junxiong ordered the team to disperse and quietly approach to observe the situation before making the next move.

There were more than 400 villagers gathered in the middle of the village, and there were about 50 Japanese soldiers in front of them, and a small team leader was saying loudly: "We are the messengers sent by the great sun god, and we are here to accept the biennial tribute from your village on behalf of the sun god. ”

The villagers all knelt down to pay homage to the messenger of the sun god, and then shouted in unison: "Thanks to the great sun god, we will always be your most faithful servants." ”

Lin Junxiong, Du Sheng, and Lin Junxia looked at everything in front of them in amazement, this should be the Japanese using the sun god as a guise to mentally control this group of villagers.

One by one, the family members of the villagers who shouted stepped forward to receive the gifts of the sun god and knelt down to thank the sun god. Soon, the items were distributed, and the team leader said to a man about sixty years old, "Chief Shanye, are you ready for the gods' tribute?" ”

The person who was called the head of the mountain village hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Your Excellency Mingjian, this year, there are less than ten people in our village who are suitable to offer tribute to the sun god, and there are only eight girls between the ages of sixteen and eighteen in the village. ”

The squad leader said angrily: "Baga, the great sun god protects your family and asks your family to do things for it in exchange for food and clothing, and you actually find an excuse to owe the gods tribute, which is disrespectful to the gods. ”

The village chief was so frightened that he quickly knelt down, kowtowed and said, "O messenger, how dare we be disrespectful to the great sun god, is this really the case." ”

The team leader saw that the village chief didn't seem to be lying, but he couldn't pay the difference when he went back like this, so he said, "Then let's find two more fifteen-year-old girls on top, and we will go back and explain to the sun god." ”

Seeing that the messenger did not blame, the chief of the mountain village breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered the two villagers to bring two fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls over, and the maidens were crying and begging their parents for help, but the girl's parents knelt down to thank the sun god for choosing their daughters, and let their daughters serve the great sun god, and they would be richly rewarded by the sun god.

Lin Junxia really couldn't stand it anymore, she was very angry, these ignorant villagers, these foolish villagers. Lin Junxiong held her down and motioned her not to speak. The Japanese army team was satisfied with ten girls on the road, Lin Junxiong led the team to follow all the way, the situation is unknown, and rushing to save these girls will only harm their lives. The team used the same method in another village, and took ten more girls before heading south of Mt. Inokawa.

When the last team walked into a large factory with twenty girls, Lin Junxiong secretly screamed that it was bad, this time it was bad. Ascending to a high place and looking at the factory, I saw that the factory was very large, and there were more than ten factories along the foot of the mountain south of Mt. Ino River, which were full of patrolling Japanese soldiers, and there was a simple road on the other side of the factory leading directly to the outside of the mountain.

After thinking about it, there was no way to rescue these girls for the time being, so I had to rush back to join the troops before making plans.

At a leeward place on the top of Sanfang Tongyue Mountain, Lin Junxiong and several people were exchanging their respective situations.

"To the south, we saw a village with piles of bones, as if it had been destroyed by fire a long time ago."

"Jiajun and I also met a village like this, but then we met a Japanese squad, and when we interrogated it, we knew that these were all done by the Japanese, and they disguised themselves as messengers of the sun god in order to punish the disobedient village, killed the people in the village, and set fire to the village." Tang Fangfei said sadly.

Lin Jiajun also sighed, and then Tang Fangfei's words said: "Now the people on this island are estimated to be shocked by the sun god, and if they are disobedient, the Japanese army will say that they are killed by the messenger of the gods." Moreover, the island was tightly controlled by the Japanese army, and there was no contact with the outside world at all, and the inhabitants of the island were mentally controlled. ”

Lin Junxiong told everyone about the situation encountered by his team.

"Oh, we learned from the Japanese soldiers that they were going to hold a women's reward meeting in two days, saying that the previous women were all in the cold palace, and the new ones were distributed according to merit, and I didn't understand it at first, but now it seems that the newly arrested batch of distributions will be locked up." Lin Jiajun introduced the situation of the women's appreciation conference.

The phoenix stood up suddenly, and said to Lin Junxiong: "Commander, give the order, and rescue these girls before they are destroyed." ”

Tang Fangfei hurriedly stood up and stopped: "No, we have to plan carefully before acting, according to what we know is an arsenal where the Japanese army is here, there are more than 300 residents who have been arrested as workers, and there are two squadrons of about 500 people stationed in it, and there are fortifications outside the factory, so it is difficult to attack, so we can't act rashly." ”

Lin Junxiong nodded and said, "Salvation is definitely going to be done, and now we have to think about how to save it." ”

"When we came back, we passed through a place with cliffs on both sides, and we used this place to send reinforcements to the Japanese army, first attracting some Japanese soldiers who were trapped, then ambushing and attacking the Japanese reinforcements, and finally ending their arsenal to rescue the residents and girls trapped inside."

Lin Junxiong said the battle plan, and then ordered: "Dusk Sheng will lead the third detachment to attract the Japanese army to the cliff first, and the brute bear will block the back road of the Japanese army after they enter the cliff, and Dusk Sheng will also turn around and trap this Japanese army, and slowly eliminate it in a controlled manner; Tang Fangfei and Phoenix's 4th and 5th detachments wiped out the reinforcements here five kilometers outside the factory; Lin Jiajun and I waited near the arsenal until the enemy's troops were insufficient, and then touched in to occupy the fortifications and organize a counterattack. Tomorrow will be their women's meeting, and it will also be their death conference. ”
