Amphibious operations were relatively new to this era, and in order to accompany the Allied landing operations, several naval special operations units were created, including Naval Combat Demolition Teams (NCDUs), Naval Reconnaissance Commandos, and Underwater Demolition Brigades, which later became known as Pacific Fleet Underwater Demolition Groups (UTDs).

However, if you want to dive into Kuah Island from the sea, you don't need the assistance of the navy, how can such a new and interesting thing not arouse the interest of our Director Donovan? The Maritime Company of the Strategic Intelligence Agency is a company specially built for this purpose, led by Walter? Lieutenant L. Mace, who was one of the first members of the Maritime Company and a classmate of Tang Long at the spy school.

In addition to Tang Long, Xia Min, Gao Laohu, and Xiaoyu, there are four people involved in this operation, namely Walter and James? Wesson, Ellman, and Bit are all elite generals of the Intelligence Bureau, and the 'White Swan' patrol ship put a few people down at a distance of 100 miles from Kuah Island, and according to the battle plan, this ship has another mission.

They are now aboard the P-564, also known as Janeny, named after Lieutenant Mays's wife, a dinghy with a 1.5-inch-thick plywood hull with noise-reducing engines that have been modified to make sound inaudible at 10 feet away, with a radius of 800 miles.

Under Walter's precise control, the Jane headed for Kuah Island at a very fast but quiet speed, and about 10 minutes later, the two patrolling cruisers, the Oga and Sakura, were detached, and the lure plan was successful!

"Check your gear and get ready to get into the water!" Tang Long, who was leaning on the gasoline can, said in a deep voice, he was wearing a Ramboten amphibious breathing apparatus on his upper body, and swimming trunks and anti-coral boots on his lower body, he always said that these equipment were very ugly, and after wearing them, he looked like an alien, about thirty miles, which was already a relatively dangerous distance.

He nodded at Ellman. Several others fell overboard one by one, and he needed to drive the Jane to a nearby reef to pass through military rations and pure water. Spend about 10 days, and then come back at the agreed time.

Diving into the water, his vision suddenly became cloudy, and he made a gesture. Six people swam forward, led by Ellman and Tang Long, their two frog boots swinging regularly.

Don't think that the agents are very idle, in the mission, the main pickle girl, the second is to play with life, there are many things to learn, just this armed swimming, including mapping, rubber boat operation, underwater coral array and underwater creature identification, sketching of the whole seabed in order to identify the exact direction. Like Mike said, the task of a spy is not complicated, nor is it high-end, just like a courier, you sign for it, you send it, and on top of that, there are people who want to kill you.

Soon, the group came to an area of a reef where only ships were harmed. But with the addition of turbulence, it is a very dangerous place for them to be 'frogmen'.

The rapids are turbulent, and Tang Long relies on his strong physical fitness and skilled underwater movements. quickly stabilized his figure, and glanced back worriedly, he was not worried about the other people, although Gao Laohu and Officer Xia had not been professionally trained, and their water nature was not bad, but Xiao Yu made a huge joke on him before he came. This girl can't swim!!

Fortunately, her development direction is a wild druid, and her adaptability to the natural environment is much higher than that of ordinary people, plus Xia Min's help, although it is difficult, it will be fine for a while; But the accident still happened, a big whirlpool rolled in the bottom of the sea, stirring several people dizzy, and when he came back to his senses, Bit, one of the members, hit the reef with his whole body, and the respirator immediately shattered, and seven or eight wounds were broken on his body, and the blood overflowed from the wound as if it was slowing down.

The frogman's equipment, for convenience, there is no substitute, a few people can only watch him struggle a few times sadly, no breath, in the process of the mission, can not tolerate pity and sympathy, even if you sacrifice yourself, the final result, is only dragging the team back, this is war, not a joke.

Tang Long nodded, Ellman understood, brought a stone from the bottom of the sea, tied it to Bit's corpse, and couldn't let him float, the searchlights of the Japanese shore and cruisers, as well as all kinds of machine guns and mines, were not blind in vain.

This cannot be regarded as a diving operation, it can only be said to be a pre-war reconnaissance, at least, their number determines their attack ability; Except for the death of one person, he touched the shore relatively smoothly.

The Japanese military strength here, according to intelligence, is only about two to three thousand people, and the area of the entire island is 5,302 kilometers, and the so-called island-type defense chain is more dependent on the navy.

"Meet in half an hour!"

Under Tang Long's order, the other three intelligence members groped along the shore of the island and had to collect photographs, which would determine whether the heavy equipment could land here, as well as the order of artillery coverage and the direction of the bombers.

But fortunately, they are all professionals, lurking and dodging, they don't need Tang Long's worries, turned their heads, and saw Xiao Yu's face turned blue, panting heavily, tears rolling in his eyes, it is estimated that he has never experienced such a miserable encounter in his life, and the performance of Officer Xia and Gao Laohu is only slightly better, and they specialize in art, and their strength is on the frontal battlefield.

"Okay?"

"I can't die."

Several of them had changed into their wetsuits and hid in a marked hollow in a tree, which they would need when they returned.

Early the next morning, several people carried out operations in the forest, and Xiaoyu's skills were finally displayed, only to see that her eyes were covered with a layer of misty cyan, and where she passed, the trees swayed and swayed, and under the eyes of the plants, several defensive positions on the shore were watched very clearly, including artillery units, machine gun battalions, aviation units, and half of the airfield was established, although it was very rough, but compared to the take-off and landing of bombers, it was undoubtedly enough, and there was no doubt that these ground targets would be hit by the first batch of firepower.

The Solomon Islands is like a ladder to Japan, and Kuah Island is the first step of the ladder; Of course, the ladder is in both directions, and whoever occupies the islands first and repairs the airfield has half of the air supremacy in the Pacific Ocean; There are not many aircraft carriers that can load fighters after all.

Tang Long finally saw the Japanese soldiers of this era, with Type 38 rifles, steel helmets wrapped in khaki cloth, collarless shirts, leather boots, mustaches, and some straight-edged knives worn by middle-level officers; Compared with the anti-Japanese drama, it is more fierce and morale.

At this time, their military strength was at its highest point, and the navy was still rampage in the southwest Pacific, capturing Singapore, Malaysia, Sumatra, the Bismarck Islands, and inflicting heavy damage on the Australian port of Darwin.

"Don't worry, don't worry!" Tang Long comforted the two guys who were already a little red-eyed, although he was not a soldier, he could also understand a series of military shames in modern times, and wanted to prove his feelings.

"Killing a few Japanese soldiers now won't cause any major damage, but as long as I find out their arsenals, grain storage points, and routes, none of them will be able to escape from the island!"

Xiaoyu's ability made several people feel like they were on Kuah Island, with a God's perspective, and the plan was completed very smoothly, and soon, a map of the island that recorded the defense facilities and personnel distribution was formed, and with the return of Walter and others, it was sent back to the submarine base.

At the same time, the battle plan, codenamed 'Lookout', officially began-(To be continued.) )

PS: Thank you Jia Teng Camp and Linyi Army for the reward, I have to work overtime in the past two days, and it is a bit more difficult, so I try my best
