"Our bombing effect looks very good, the Japanese defenses are badly damaged, the casualties are also very large, there is a mess inside, if you give me a tank, it will only take ten minutes to capture it!"

In the bushes outside the Japanese Army's Type B Reconnaissance Base on Paternaugan Island, Second Lieutenant White of the U.S. Army Amphibious Commando and Major Gonzalez, commander of the Philippine Resistance Alliance's Paternaugan Island Detachment, were prostrate side by side. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoAt this time, the sky is light, and with the help of binoculars, you can roughly see the situation in the Japanese military base, where the remains of the dead have been moved by the surviving Japanese officers and soldiers, and it seems that there are indeed many people who died in the bombing. Since the bombing was concentrated on the main building of the Japanese radar station, the damage to the wall was not high, and the barbed wire fence and minefield outside the wall were largely unharmed, which meant that the amphibious commandos and the rebels could only choose to attack head-on, and there was only one road through the minefield, which could be firmly blocked by two or three machine guns and one or two mortars......

"A hard attack is definitely not good, the casualties are too great, maybe we can try to persuade them to surrender, I studied medicine in Japan for three years, there is no obstacle to language communication with the Japanese army, as long as they can realize that they have no hope of victory in the battle here, it is still possible to let them lay down their arms, after all, not all Japanese soldiers are fanatical warmongers, and a few I know are tired of fighting and killing, and want to live a stable and peaceful rural life with their families." Major Gonzalez whispered.

"You know Japanese?" Ensign White, who had been clueless, suddenly had an idea, and he thought about it for two minutes, and then told Gonzalez his idea.

The major listened to it and praised again and again: "I have to say, you have made a brilliant plan, those Japanese soldiers will definitely not think of it, they will definitely not think of it!" But we'd better hurry up, and wait until it's full dawn, and the number of people who will be seen through it will increase considerably, but we'll have to go back to the place where we fought and strip the uniforms off the corpses of the Japanese soldiers. ”

Second Lieutenant White grinned, "It's okay! The more daylight it is, the less vigilant they will become, and if we pass by this time, it will make them wary. ”

Major Gonzalez nodded knowingly......

Two hours later, on the road leading to the Japanese radar station, 16 "Japanese soldiers" appeared in disarray, their steel helmets hung behind their necks, some wore military caps, some directly exposed their heads, some tried to support their "wounded companions", some carried at least three or four long guns, and held bright bayonets in their hands, escorting three American amphibious commandos with their heads in their hands and four ragged Filipino resistors. Major Gonzalez, dressed in a Japanese lieutenant's uniform, swaggered to the front of the line, carrying a saber at his waist and his face smeared with blood.

Before this peculiar team could get closer, in the defensive bunker outside the gate of the Japanese base, the non-commissioned officer on duty shouted in Japanese: "Who are you!" Get your name on! ”

"Bastard!" Major Gonzalez deliberately lowered his voice, "You guys were blown up by the Americans, don't you even know me, the Chiba warrior Saburo Nakamura?" ”

Gonzalez couldn't imitate his voice and tone, he just found a fallen Japanese officer who looked about the same size as himself, and deduced some information from the ID he carried with him to get by.

The Japanese non-commissioned officer in the bunker leaned out: "Second Lieutenant Nakamura? It's really you! Did you win the battle? Also captured the enemy? How many guys in there don't look Filipino, they're Americans? American pilots who skydive? ”

"Victory? No, it's not a victory at all, we were ambushed last night and most of us died. There are a lot of guerrillas on the island, and there are American soldiers who have appeared out of nowhere, these are not pilots, they are combat units of the American army! You can see clearly, they are real American soldiers, and their weapons are more advanced than when we beat them ten years ago! Major Gonzalez shouted in Japanese as he walked, like a drunken chattering fellow, but this unusual behavior did not arouse the suspicion of the Japanese soldiers—how could the shadows of these fellows be ghosts in the sunlight.

Upon approaching, Major Gonzalez changed his words: "Hey, men, your situation looks terrible! What about casualties? Is that equipment still working now? ”

The non-commissioned officers behind the bunker and the soldiers on duty had already relaxed their vigilance at this time, and they all stood up. After ordering a soldier to enter the base to report the situation, the non-commissioned officer took off his gloves even more, apparently trying to trouble the prisoners of war.

"The enemy's bombing caused 39 dead and 60 wounded, the radio facilities were damaged, the electric detection antenna was damaged, the main generator was damaged, and the backup generator was available, but the power supply line was seriously damaged, and it was impossible to confirm whether the main body of the electric reconnaissance system was normal...... The US military has paralyzed our bases with only one bombing, and it must be the Philippine guerrillas who have provided important intelligence to the enemy, these lowly American lackeys! ”

Major Gonzalez had already walked to the front of the bunker, he deliberately slowed down his pace, and rubbed his face with his hands: "They not only betrayed our position, but also provided radio navigation to American aircraft, but unfortunately we have too few troops to destroy the enemy's radio navigation equipment, if the Americans knew that our base has not been destroyed, maybe they will come to bomb tonight." ”

The non-commissioned officer who came out of the bunker clenched his knuckles as he walked past Major Gonzalez, looking only at the captured American GIs.

Major Gonzalez raised the corners of his mouth slightly, took out two round grenades from his back with his backhand, pulled out the pull ring, threw them into the cover, and then quickly lay down......

With two explosions, the Japanese soldiers in the bunker who didn't have time to react were blown away in an instant, and the Japanese non-commissioned officer who tried to find the "American prisoner of war" was beaten into a sieve by the other party. Before the smoke and dust had cleared, Major Gonzalez suddenly got to his feet, pulled out two more grenades from his waist, pulled out the pull rings and threw them over the base gate, blasting a group of Japanese soldiers who heard the news to smithereens. That's not all, he quickly ran into the bunker, picked up a Taisho 11-year machine gun, turned the muzzle of the gun and fired into the base.

Major Gonzalez took the lead, and the amphibious commandos and guerrillas who approached the base were not to be outdone, they scattered their formation while rushing to the gate of the base, and the three strong American commandos relied on their arm strength to throw two waves of grenades into the base one after another, and most of the Japanese officers and soldiers who were led by curiosity suddenly fell, and the rest rushed around. At this time, the amphibious commandos and partisans who were lying in ambush on the periphery began to name the enemies in their sight one by one. By the time the machine guns on the periphery had finished firing a round of bullets, the shrill gunfire had subsided a lot in an instant, and there were no more people standing in the base. When Major Gonzalez, who had thrown away his Japanese military cap and torn off his Japanese officer badge, walked into the base with his machine gun, it was littered with corpses, and only a few wounded people were left struggling on the ground......

Seeing several figures fleeing into the large bunker building covered with camouflage nets, Major Gonzalez shouted to his entourage: "It must be the Japanese radar control room, Grace's team is waiting for the big troops here, and the rest will follow me!" ”

The three American amphibious commandos who played the role of prisoners of war were not ambiguous, they rolled up their sleeves and held submachine guns, alternately covering the advance towards the entrance of the bunker, while the nine Filipino guerrillas, including Major Gonzalez, rushed forward in one go. After a while, they successfully came to the entrance, stepped through the first door, and were just about to walk down the steps, when the fire flashed in the darkness, and the bullets hit the stone wall next to them with a "click", startling them into a cold sweat.

Major Gonzalez raised his hand to signal everyone not to throw grenades inside, and he shouted in Japanese, "Hey, don't shoot, we're our own people!" ”

A voice immediately responded viciously: "Pigs, see your ghosts!" ”

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of a grenade jumping on the concrete floor in the darkness, and the amphibious commando who rushed in front hurriedly used his broad body to push everyone back, and the explosion that followed was absolutely not powerful, but because it was in a relatively closed underground space, it had a particularly violent impact, and everyone was dizzy and tinnitus to varying degrees.

The soft ones can't do it, so they have to come to the hard ones. At the signal of Major Gonzalez, the American amphibious team threw two grenades directly into it, and then quickly retreated.

After the explosion, the air was filled with smoke and dust, and the inside of the bunker was so black that no sound could be heard.

"Inside, if you don't surrender, I'll send you to the west with a grenade!" Major Gonzalez yelled in Japanese.

After a while, the response of the Japanese army came from inside: "Pig! The Japanese Imperial Army only died in battle, not surrendered! ”

Gonzalez nodded at the American commandos beside him, signaling them to take a strong attack.

The three amphibious commandos walked forward in the dark, but suddenly they heard a few gunshots, the fire jumped in the dark corner, and the crisp sound of gunfire echoed in the passage for a long time.

"Damn, I got shot!" Someone whispered in the dark. Moments later, a U.S. commando dragged his wounded companion backwards.

Major Gonzalez sideways and said to his partisans, "Okay, now replace us, don't leave us alive!" ”

Led by the major, the partisans rushed in one swarm, greeting them with pistols, rifles, submachine guns, and light machine guns. After a particularly chaotic burst of gunfire, the Japanese resistance stopped.

It was at this time that Second Lieutenant White arrived with a team, and the power line would not be restored for a while, so they had to search the place with flashlights. The bunker looks huge from the outside, but the real radar command room can only accommodate a dozen people to work, large and small machine boxes are crammed with extra space, and the walls on the ground are covered with spider web-like lines.

After some searching, Second Lieutenant White not only seized the operation manual of the Japanese radar equipment, but also accidentally obtained a complete Japanese Army communication codebook. In the next 10 hours, they intercepted and deciphered a large number of communication codes of the Japanese troops stationed in the Philippines, thus mastering military secrets about the movement and deployment of various units of the Japanese army and their combat missions.
