At night, a survey ship of the Tang Army and two minesweepers followed the route on the secret smuggling chart drawn by Masaki Kishida, passing through the secret waterway between Arroju Island and Neikako Island, carefully surveying the water depth and checking the safety of the channel, and at the same time laying channel buoys to provide safety guidance for the 1st Marine Division troop carriers disguised as merchant ships behind them.

Around the early hours of the morning, the leading unit composed of three special squads and three marine companies of the 1st Marine Division took the lead in safely entering the inner lake of Majuro Atoll on two troop carriers.

In accordance with the intelligence of daytime reconnaissance and under the cover of night, the three special detachments infiltrated the three guard posts arranged by the Japanese army on the inner side of the lagoon with advanced frogman equipment.

The vigilance of the Japanese sentries was lax, and most of the Japanese soldiers on duty at the sentry were dozing off or leaning against the corner and smoking, and they did not think that anyone would dare to attack.

After a Tang Army frogman came ashore, he easily touched the sentry tower, reached out to cover the mouth and nose of one of the Japanese soldiers, and the sharp dagger stabbed the Japanese sentry in the heart quickly, fiercely and accurately.

There were only three or two Japanese sentries at the two posts in front, and the frogmen of the Tang Army could silently kill them at close range with daggers.

By the time they reached the third post, the number of Japanese sentries had doubled, four in all, one on the left and one on the left, one on the high and one high, and two more than during the day.

It turned out that the commander of the defense of the island, Tomomi Inada, had just received an order from the commander of the Combined Fleet, Takuzo Kobayashi, to strengthen the defense of the island. However, Tomomi Inada thought that Kobayashi was making a big fuss, and he didn't take it to heart. However, double posts were added to the most critical posts.

This accident made the several Tang Army special combat members who touched them a little distressed, and no matter which direction they touched them, they would inevitably be discovered by one of the sentries on the other side.

"You can kill them with a silent pistol!"

"No, I can't. The hit rate at this distance at night is not high, and if we don't hit the other side and shoot for warning, then we will be bad! ”

"What then? It's all here, we have no way out! ”

Before the operation, they all patted their chests to ensure that nothing went wrong, and the large troops behind were coming, and at this time they said that they could not retreat. Then they won't have the face to show off their abilities in front of others in the future.

"There's also a way to get their attention head-on with one person so we can take them out!"

"I know two words of Japanese. I'll go, you guys will do it, don't sell Lao Tzu! ”

Dousha is lying, he only knows one word in Japanese. To be exact, he once lay on his stomach in a Japanese brothel and heard a Japanese woman crying out for bed. When he learns the Japanese woman "Amaddie! Amad Del" shouted loudly. Several of his comrades-in-arms suddenly collapsed.

However, the red paste managed to attract the attention of several Japanese sentinels. After all, it is strange that a big man calls the bed like a woman in the dark and does not attract the attention of the Japanese army.

"I must have seen women for a long time, I don't know which team is doing homosexuality again, you two go over and take a look, let them stay away from here, such a disgusting voice Lao Tzu is about to vomit!"

The captain of the post immediately sent two sentries out, so that the captain and the other two sentries were left in the outpost. The captain was annoyed to hear it. I went into the house.

The two devils walked in the direction of the bean paste shouting, wondering why they were alone. Suddenly I felt a chill in my chest, blood rushed wildly, and life passed in the blink of an eye.

The well-trained Tang Army special combat team members immediately held on to the bodies of the two devils without making the slightest sound.

At the same time, the other three special operators quickly reached the sentry post and easily killed the two sentries.

When several special combat team members were about to kill the devil captain, they found that the devil captain was jerking off in the outpost room.

Several special combat team members were dumbfounded, and the knives in their hands hesitated.

At this time, their team leader saw that several of his subordinates did not move, and they were immediately furious, and they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when they came closer. However, as the team leader, he still has the ability to deal with dangers, and immediately took out a pistol with a silencer installed and killed the devil leader immediately.

"I'll clean you up when you guys get back!"

Several team members immediately smiled awkwardly, did not dare to delay and said more, hurriedly cleaned up the corpse, and at the same time sent a signal.

After receiving the security signal, the Tang Army immediately began the landing operation, dozens of troop carriers lowered their landing craft, and 12,000 officers and men of the 1st Marine Division launched the landing operation in a tense and orderly manner.

Although there were no enemy posts to watch, the Tang army was still very cautious and did not dare to make a big move. They quickly built a trestle and landed heavy equipment.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, and by dawn, more than half of the heavy equipment of the Tang army had been transported ashore.

At the same time, the news of the sudden acceleration of the aircraft carrier battle group of the Tang Army also reached the commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Takuzo Kobayashi.

"What is the intention of the Tang fleet to suddenly accelerate its advance? Are you in a hurry to fight us? ”

"Maybe they're rushing somewhere!"

Kobayashi Tatsuzo quickly took out a compass and a ruler, took the location of the Tang fleet as the center of the circle, and drew circles on the chart with the radius generated by the Tang Army's previous cruising speed and the speed after the speed, he was very professional in mapping, and the positions that the Tang Army might pass through every hour in the future were marked, especially when intersecting with the Marshall Islands controlled by the Japanese army, he marked the time extraordinarily.

"If the Tang Army is heading for our supply depot in the Marshall Islands, the normal cruising speed will arrive in 22 hours, and the speed will arrive in 13 hours, and their carrier-based aircraft will have a conservative combat radius of 500 kilometers, which means that in another 3 hours, their bombers will be within the range of the air attack on Majuro."

The staff officer on the side said: "Three hours later, it is still late at night, and it is impossible for them to hit the target." It won't be dawn when they return home, and all their planes will fall into the sea. ”

Kobayashi said suddenly, "Where have you looked at us?" We are separated by a few hours of time zone from the Tang Army, and their current position will usher in the morning sun a few hours earlier, so their carrier-based aircraft will land in the sun after completing the bombing. ”

"Your Excellency, what should we do?"

Kobayashi snorted coldly, looked at the starlight outside, and suddenly ordered: "Order the first squadron to take the Akagi and Kaga to leave the fleet immediately and rush to Majuro at full speed, I will give them a pair of Hu." ”

Since it was night, the Tang Army's reconnaissance planes would not appear, and Kobayashi did not think that the nearby Tang Army's submarines could keep up with the speed of the Japanese First Fleet.

That night, two heavy cruisers, three light cruisers, and four destroyers of the Japanese Combined Fleet, which were the fastest in the Combined Fleet, covered the aircraft carriers Kaga and Akagi as they left the Combined Fleet and sailed quickly toward Majuro Atoll. (To be continued......)
