Chapter 141 is thrilling
At about midnight, the reconnaissance submarine reached the sea northwest of the island. The tower ordered the crew to enter the cabin, and if the submarine moved further on the surface of the sea, the movement of the motor would alarm the Japanese army, so the submarine had to dive and slowly approach the shoreline. The seabed topography in this area is very complex, with dense reefs. The submarine is very slow to sneak after diving. The captain counted the time, then ordered to stop advancing, and the submarine quietly surfaced. The captain observed in the periscope: "About 3 nautical miles from the coastline, the submarine cannot move forward, captain, you can only swim over." ”
The tower ordered his subordinates to prepare, and after a while, the team members gathered on the deck again, and the captain solemnly held the tower's hand and said: "Captain, I wish you all the best, we will operate in this sea area." Remember that the evacuation date is on the night of the 5th, and the submarine is here waiting for you to evacuate. The tower shook the captain's hand again, and without squeaking, the team members went down to the sea and swam to the shore in turn. The submarine dived away from the coastline again, but the sky was unpredictable, after all, it was not familiar with the terrain of the seabed, and the submarine was accidentally stuck on the reef. The submarine could not open the watertight hatch at all in the sea, and all 8 crew members were killed.
Iron Tower led his subordinates to the shore with all their might, and they didn't know anything about the submarine accident. When you reach the shore, you will be greeted by a cliff. Since they are mainly responsible for reconnaissance missions, all 10 members of the team carry short guns and daggers. About two hours later, they climbed up the cliff. "Everyone hurry up and change their clothes, and then bury the wet clothes without leaving any traces. The team members quickly opened the waterproof package, changed into Japanese military clothing, and then buried the wet clothes separately.
"Captain. There is a case! A soldier in charge of the guard reported. The team members quickly drew their short guns and entered the combat state. The tower observed a flip of torches coming from south to north along the coastline. "It's a Japanese patrol, and you can't shoot without my order." Sure enough, it was a Japanese patrol. They were not very vigilant, they just passed by mechanically, and they did not expect the scouts of the Chinese army to come ashore here. After the Japanese patrol walked away, the tower waved its hand, and the team members headed inland, and the night soon overwhelmed their figures.
The noise of the birds woke the tower, and the tower opened its eyes. Through the branches of the forest, I found that the sky was already bright. The team members also climbed up one after another to enjoy the surrounding scenery. Their habitat is a forest. The vegetation is lush and well hidden. "Brethren, eat something and feel your surroundings. We hide here during the day and act at night. 2 Captain, you come here. "The captain of the 2nd division came over. Comprehending the captain's meaning, he took out the map, then sat next to the captain and handed the map over. The tower looked at the map for a while and said, "We are in this position, and I will lead a group south after dark." You lead 2 teams to investigate. Our mission was mainly to reconnoiter the main island, which is about 50 kilometers long on the western side of the island, and we were separated from each other. ”
The tower continued, "We use Tsushima as the boundary. Find out the defense situation and the deployment of troops along the coast of the Japanese army, and remember before the next hour after 5 days. Do you have to meet here, understand? "Understood, Captain." "Don't reveal your identity unless you have to. It would be difficult for us to leave the island if exposed. Soon, the team members who searched everywhere came back one after another, and everyone reported the situation in detail. The tower instructed the team to continue to rest and start moving after dark.
Another night, Tie Ta led the members of the reconnaissance team all the way to Tsushima Town, and the other group began to reconnoiter south from the northern part of the island. The town of Tsushima during this period was not large, with only one street. The town of Tsushima happens to be located in the harbor. The curved harbor has a sandy beach, and the south side of the harbor is a pier. The tower held the telescope and observed: "Everyone has their own responsibility, observe carefully, and write down the observation on the map tomorrow." ”
They slipped away until 2 a.m. in Tsushima, and there was no way to get out at 4 o'clock, so they had to choose a place to hide before dawn. Despite the frequent patrols of the Japanese patrols, they were still not vigilant. In a stone cave halfway up the mountain, the team members woke up to the sun being a pole high. Everyone ate a little indiscriminately, and then took the initiative to gather around the tower. The tower laid the map on a stone and said, "Everyone starts reporting in order." ”
A scout thought for a moment and said: "Captain, I am responsible for observing the fortress batteries, the fortress batteries of the Japanese army in Tsushima Town are mainly distributed on the south side of the island, because the coastline on the south side is mountainous, facing the sea and cliffs, so it is common sense for the batteries to choose here. There are a total of 22 Japanese batteries, which are old but have been reinforced. No roads were found behind the battery, presumably underground. "Estimate?" The tower is dissatisfied! "It's either estimated or underground, and my report is over." The team member stuck out his tongue.
The second scout stood up and said, "Captain, I'm in charge of observing the Japanese fortifications. The Japanese fortifications were mainly concentrated in the piers and the beach in key areas. I observed that there were three defensive positions from the front to the depth, most of which were reinforced concrete fortresses, which were easy to defend and difficult to attack. In battle, a brigade can be quickly deployed. In addition, the beach is deep into the sea and has a large number of wooden piles. Apparently the Japanese army was well prepared. Another soldier stood up and said, "Captain, I am in charge of reconnoitring the artillery, but I have not found any artillery positions. "Tonight, you must find the location of the Japanese infantry guns."
It was Zuihou's turn to conclude the speech, when the team member in charge of the guard suddenly shouted: "Captain, is there a situation?" "The west side of the cave entrance faces the sea, and the hillside on the right side gently stretches Xiangxia, and there is a meadow full of flowers, and colorful wildflowers are blooming, which is very cute. The tower came to the guard sentry, the sentry went down the mountain to do business, and the tower took a closer look and found a Japanese officer with his wife and children looking for the hillside, admiring the flowers while coming in the direction of the cave.
The Japanese officers wore military uniforms with open arms and did not wear hats. A Japanese woman in a kimono holds a little girl of four or five years old in her hand. Apparently a family of three came out to play. It's early summer on Tsushima Island in April, and the birds are singing and the scenery is pleasant. Probably this hillside is full of flowers, which aroused their interest and came to enjoy the flowers. "Captain, they'll find us soon. What to do? "Wait a little longer, you won't be able to attack without my orders." Everyone was sweating in their hands, and the air was extremely tense.
The team members are not afraid of this family of three. Rather, they are afraid of exposing the target. The family of three stopped about 20 meters from the entrance of the cave. The Japanese officer muttered in Japanese, and the petite Japanese woman quickly opened her backpack, took out a piece of white cloth and spread it on the ground, and then took out food and put it on the white cloth, it seemed that the family was going to have a picnic here. The tower asked in a low voice, "What did the Japanese officer say?" "The Japanese officer said that the view here is good, so let's be here!" A member of the team who can speak Japanese replied.
When a Japanese woman is busy. The little girl walked curiously towards the cave, and everyone's hearts rose to their throats again. On the north side of the cave is a cliff. The Japanese officer noticed the little girl's actions and hurriedly came over to pick up the little girl, and the officer deliberately glanced at the cave and realized that it was very dangerous here. Japanese woman pulling little girl's finger cave. Speak to the little girl. I couldn't hear what was being said, probably to warn the little girl that this side of the cave was very dangerous, and asked her not to go there. Fortunately, the two adults are not interested in the cave, and there is no danger.
Perhaps it was the great god of Japan who blessed this family of three and made them rub shoulders with death. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, a family of three went down the mountain before they saw a family of three walking away. All the scouts let out a sigh of relief. "Look, how warm a family of three is. It's a bit unbearable for me to do it. "In a month's time, this will be a battlefield, and they will not be spared. It's no longer safe here, move now! The tower glanced at the sun and said decisively. That night, they reconnoitred the companions in Tsushima Town, and then took advantage of the darkness to head south.
The ensuing reconnaissance went well, and on the night of the 5th they returned to the landing site. Another group of people near the water was already waiting here. Everyone was very happy to meet, especially to complete the task. At about 23 o'clock, the tower ordered a signal to the sea, and 10 minutes passed without a response, and half an hour passed and there was still no response. "Captain, what's going on, the reconnaissance submarine weishenme did not respond," "Send another signal!" The tower began to feel anxious. Until 2 a.m., there was still no response from the submarine.
"Captain, eighty percent of the submarine has an accident, otherwise it is impossible not to see the signal we sent!" Team Leader 2 said depressedly. "We can't wait any longer, let's swim back." "Swim back!" The team members exclaimed. "Isn't it just 50 kilometers, what are you afraid of? Brethren, we can't wait any longer, there must be something wrong with the reconnaissance submarine, and now our only hope is to swim back. Before dawn, we had to stay out of sight of the Japanese observation posts, otherwise none of us would be able to leave the island. The most important thing is to send the reconnaissance information back. ”
Then the tower ordered to carry only pistols and daggers, and throw away everything else. The water in April was bitterly cold, and the team entered the sea and swam forward with all their might, and soon they forgot about the cold. As the day dawned, they had been swimming in the sea for nearly three hours. "Brothers, Jeju Island has been seen ahead, and we have also escaped the sight of the Japanese lookout posts. Let's slow down and save energy, and if we're lucky enough to run into a patrol boat or a fishing boat. "The tower cheers everyone on.
After speaking, the tower touched the sealed bag on his waist, which contained the map and reconnaissance information. Then Tie Ta touched the pistol and dagger on the back of his neck again, and then he turned over with confidence and floated on his back on the sea, allowing himself to rest. The tower closed its eyes and recuperated, and suddenly there was a scream from behind, and the tower was frightened and immediately straightened up and tread water to look behind, only to see a huge shark suddenly appear behind him, devouring a team member, watching the team member enter the shark's bloody mouth.
"It's a shark," one team member exclaimed. A member of the nearby team pulled out a short gun and shot at the shark, which disappeared into the sea in pain. "Captain, it's a shark, the shark won't stop working, I'll cover you and leave!" Seeing the tower hesitated. The leader of the second team urgently shouted: "Captain, intelligence is important, otherwise we won't be able to escape." The tower waved goodbye and swam forward.
Soon the tower distanced itself from the team members behind him, and the leader of the second team, Zuihou, always shouted that intelligence was important, so that the tower had no intention of paying attention to the other team members.
Jeju Island was getting closer, but the tower was exhausted, and just as he was unconscious, a fishing boat appeared beside him. An hour later, the patrol boat searched the sea surface and rescued 3 team members, the other 6 team members, all of whom became the belly of the shark...... (To be continued......)
PS: Fearless for the sake of victory.
