After beating the three main generals of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, Cheng Gong left Chen Jiliang and Ouyang Jingxiu behind, and told them that they should be more mindful and have to let all the officers and men of the Donghui Navy who were observing and studying the warships of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet assume the function of supervising the war.

For this reason, Cheng Gong specially distributed two small and delicate high-power infantry telegraph planes to the various observation groups stationed by the Donghui Navy, and once he found that there was anything wrong with the imps, he immediately summoned the air force to attack.

After making all these arrangements, Cheng Gong took a walk from the "Army Aviation No. 1" to the four Yamato-class heavy aircraft carriers, bringing His Majesty's cordial care and greetings to the officers and men of the ships, and making the morale of the officers and men of the ships unprecedentedly high.

That night, all the warships assembled in Arthur Bay were organized into four fully manned aircraft carrier battle groups, and by the bright moonlight, they sailed out of Arthur Bay.

The first aircraft carrier battle group of the East Japan and German Combined Navy: the flagship aircraft carrier "Yamato", the capital ship "Nagato" battleship, the battleship "Kongo", the heavy cruiser "Furutaka" and the heavy cruiser "Kako", and the auxiliary ships are 3 Tenryu-class cruisers, 24 Akizuki-class (Keeling-class) destroyers, 8 XXI submarines, and 1 all-round class fast combat support ship;

The second aircraft carrier battle group: the flagship "Meiji" aircraft carrier, the capital ships are two battleships "Hiei" and "Kirishima", two Myoko-class heavy cruisers "Myoko" and "Nachi", and the auxiliary ships are 3 Kuma-class light cruisers, 24 mixed Japanese-made destroyers, 8 XXI submarines, and 1 all-round class fast combat support ship;

The third aircraft carrier battle group: the flagship "Taisho" aircraft carrier, the capital ships are two Fuso-class battleships "Fuso" and "Yamashiro", two Myo-class heavy cruisers "Haguro" and "Ashigara", the auxiliary ships are three Nagara-class light cruisers, 24 mixed Japanese-made destroyers, 8 XXI submarines, and 1 all-class fast combat support ship;

The fourth aircraft carrier battle group: the flagship "Showa" aircraft carrier, the main ships are two Ise-class battleships "Ise" and "Hyuga", two Aoba-class heavy cruisers "Aoba" and "Kinugasa", the auxiliary ships are three Nagara-class light cruisers, 24 Akizuki-class (Keeling-class) destroyers, 8 XXI submarines, and 1 all-round class fast combat support ship.

In addition, there are four rapid support fleets composed of heavy cruisers, light cruisers, and destroyers, three ocean-going submarine attack formations commanded by Dönitz, and a local defense patrol formation composed of the second fleet of the Pacific Fleet of the Donghui Navy.

Such a large fleet group was dispatched, and the news was not strictly blocked from the outside world. Because, Cheng Gong said, let's only engage in conspiracy, not conspiracy. The Donghui Navy is upright and open, and openly puts on a posture of seeking war, and whoever is not satisfied will let the horse come over to fight.

After the four carrier battle groups left Arthur Bay, the first and second carrier battle groups sailed to the Bismarck Sea, and the third and fourth carrier battle groups bypassed Dingnan Province and entered the Arafura Sea through the Seran Sea.

As soon as the news came out, the entire Commonwealth of Australia was in mourning.

The Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet was scattered into four aircraft carrier battle groups, and this information was transmitted to the White House, which dashed the last glimmer of hope for Roosevelt and Chamberlain.

……

Mountainous area of Australian New Guinea.

The rainforest under the moonlight is eerie and dark, as if it can absorb all the light.

The surface of the Sepik River, which flows quietly, shimmers in the starlight. A few ferns swayed suddenly, and a dozen black shadows emerged from them.

"Safety!" The voice of the Sharp Soldier came softly from the walkie-talkie carried by the Signal Soldier, with a slightly noisy rustling sound.

With the help of infrared night vision devices, Hattori Masao finally found the mark left by the Donghui Navy SEALs.

Raised his wrist and looked at the military luminous watch made by Donghui, half an hour ahead of the scheduled arrival time.

The special forces of the Great Japanese Empire will not be much worse than the special forces of the Tohui! While secretly cheering himself up, Hattori Masao lowered his voice and turned back and said, "Rest in place for ten minutes, and assign sentinels to each group." ”

"Hattori-kun, we didn't let those Navy SEALs look down on them like the King of Heaven, did we?" A fighter with a face covered in camouflage ink and a large face covered in sweat caught up from behind, gasping and whispering.

Hattori Masao nodded tiredly and whispered, "No!" We were almost half an hour ahead of the agreed time. Hattori-kun, don't be unconvinced, people are lame, that's the capital they have to lame! If it weren't for the fact that they trained us hand in hand, we simply wouldn't know what a real special operation is! ”

"Hattori-kun, I heard one of my fellow countrymen say that the Navy SEALs once used a small detachment of more than 30 people to defeat a main brigade of the First Imperial Praetorian Guard Division, is this really the case?" Ono Nobunari raised his hand and wiped the sweat on his face with the back of his hand, and asked curiously.

"Forgot about secrecy? Don't ask what you shouldn't. ”

Hattori Masao glared at Hattori Nobunari. But then his tone slowed down, and he said seriously: "It is true! To be precise, it was the Imperial Army and the German Army that selected elite officers and soldiers to form a combined infantry regiment, more than 1,500 people, who were stunned in the jungle by the small detachment of the Donghui Navy SEALs, and there was no place to send their breath. You just need to know this, don't spread the word about it! ”

After finishing speaking, Masao Hattori looked back at the tired team members who were sitting or lying around, and then said to Ono Shinnari: "This is the first time we have carried out a special operations mission, and it is the first thing to complete the mission and bring the brothers back alive." Ono-kun, hurry up and recover your strength, I'll go check the sentry post. ”

Ono Nobunari watched Captain Hattori Masao disappear into the dark rainforest in front of him, and a look of heartfelt admiration appeared in his eyes.

The first special forces unit of the Japanese Army, it can be said that it brought together the elite soldiers of all units of the Japanese Army and Marine Corps. However, what these imperial elites who were above the top did not expect was that after only three months of physical training, half of them would be eliminated.

In the next two subjects, more than two-thirds of them were eliminated. In the end, only 127 people passed all the training subjects of the half-year surprise training.

Nobunari Ono, a native of Sendai, has been a soldier for five years. But his achievements in this training team were not as good as those of Hattori Masao, a noble officer who had just joined the army for less than two years.

Hattori Masao is not only inferior to these veterans from the countryside in terms of physical fitness, but also faster and more refined in terms of military subjects.

Of the 127 members of the kamikaze special forces, only three have been in the army for less than two years, and one of them is Hattori Masao.

Hattori Masao was exceptionally promoted to lieutenant because of his outstanding performance in all aspects, and served as the captain of the fifth detachment of the kamikaze special forces. (13 people in one detachment)

The lush canopy of trees completely obscures the starry sky.

Hattori gasped and sat down against the roots of a large tree. According to the standards and requirements of the training, he checked the layout of a circle of sentry positions, which consumed a lot of his physical strength.

In the rainforests of the island of New Guinea, the humid air was almost too heavy for him to breathe. The feeling of getting wet all over the body is even more uncomfortable.

Leeches and mosquitoes are almost everywhere. Despite the insect repellent spray on their skin, the "hosts" of the rainforest still wander ghostly around their guests, looking for any chance to bite and suck blood.

After checking whether the trouser cuffs tied in the upper of the high-waisted jungle combat boots made by Tohui were loose, Hattori Masao leaned against the roots of the tree, pulled out a black and white photo from the pocket of the jungle camouflage combat uniform, and was about to take a second look.

The sound of light footsteps, accompanied by the "creaking" sound of stepping on broken branches, made Hattori Masao's rapidly relaxed nerves tense again. Despite the thin voice, Hattori reacted with extreme alertness.

The photo of his lover was stuffed into his pocket, and the Tohui C38H assault rifle with a silencer in his hand had been pressed against his head and shoulders, and the night vision device on his helmet was pulled down, and Hattori Masao dodged and squatted slightly behind the trunk of a tree.

There was a gentle finger twitch on the walkie-talkie, a battle signal from the Donghui Navy SEALs.
