Chapter 57: Cape Esperance

Zhang Fan ignored it, and carefully understood the surrounding situation through perception. Just now he felt in the air the unique smell of the army, the faint smell of gunsmoke, not all dissipated, ordinary people could not smell it.

After Jesse parked the car, he got out of the car and borrowed the light of the flashlight to take a closer look at the strange things in the surrounding jungle. Sure enough, it was found that there were indeed traces left by the passing troops, and the destination was Cape Esperance. It seems that Akon was right, and the retreat of the Japanese army began!

Akon sent a message and asked Zhang Fan if he wanted to follow the traces to find the temporary garrison of the Japanese army and carry out a tentative attack? Zhang Fan thought about it for a while, but still refused. Now let's go to Cape Esperance first, and continue to confirm whether Akon's guess is correct, and make sure that nothing goes wrong. Don't startle the snake before again!

So the six of them continued their rapid march towards Cape Esperance.

Cape Esperance, which was expected to be reached until noon the next day, was already in front of us in the early hours of the morning.

The six men parked their cars in a sheltered place, climbed up a high ground with a view of the entire Cape Esperance, and went about their own covert work. Jesse and his companions split up to collect twigs, grasses, vines, leaves, and so on, and make an ambush spot.

Zhang Fan and the three of them didn't have to bother, taking advantage of Jesse and his companions being busy in the distance, they took out the 'ghost vine' to cover their whole body, and after a while, they merged with the surrounding environment. And the grass vines are also very comfortable, with a cool fragrance, it is estimated that this smell has the function of repelling insects.

Zhang Fan took advantage of the blue telescope to perceive the entire cape, and sure enough, he found that a group of Japanese soldiers were busy working on the cape, as if they were building improvised fortifications, and all of them were anti-aircraft machine guns. At this rate, it is estimated that in less than a day, the Japanese army will set up an anti-aircraft machine gun position at the cape!

It seems that the Japanese army was very careful in order to retreat this time, and even the US army was fully prepared for a possible air strike!

The sky gradually brightened, and Zhang Fan perceived that there was another army approaching the cape in the distance, and it was estimated that in the jungle last night, the Japanese army that Zhang Fan noticed had also arrived.

"Head, do you want to report to the station?" Jesse climbed to Zhang Fan's hidden place and asked, now I admire this seemingly inconspicuous Chinese even more, not only has martial arts, but also has a high IQ, it is really like a god.

"Wait a minute, we'll see how they're set up. They had only just arrived here, and it was estimated that the time for the retreat would be a few days. We have to wait for the troops on the island to arrive. Zhang Fan took the telescope and observed carefully. With his super perception, every move of those Japanese soldiers was in front of him. "We'll observe for a day, and then you'll report back in the evening, and then we'll go back and lead the way, and bring a large army. The three of us are here to keep an eye on them, and maybe we can find a chance to harass them. ”

"If I don't go back, just let those two boys go back." Jesse said, "I'm going to fight with you. ”

"We'll talk about it then." Zhang Fan said: "You go back first and continue to monitor." ”

Jesse returned to his hideaway, and he and his companion didn't know what to say. Zhang Fan's ears were sharp, and he couldn't help but laugh when he heard Jesse bragging about himself to the two soldiers.

During World War II, the status of blacks in the U.S. military was not very high, and seeing that Zhang Fan and the three were also colored people, they were naturally a little kinder. And when he first went to Gua Island, Zhang Fan really treated him well.

"This Jesse." Zhang Fan shook his head and smiled.

"Head, I'll go out and look at the terrain." Akon learned Jesse's words to Zhang Fan, "Find a suitable attack position." Now that the goal has been set, we can do the preparations. ”

"Haode, you can bring the green wings with you, and if you encounter something, you can take care of it." Zhang Fan nodded in agreement: "I'll continue to observe here." ”

"Don't worry, it's okay." Akon stood up and shrunk the 'ghost vine' to his body, forming a camouflage of grass wrapped around his body. At any time, as long as you fall to the ground, it becomes a tuft of thatch. This is indeed a great item for the Scout.

Green Wing said to Zhang Fan: "Be careful." He disappeared with Akon.

In Zhang Fan's perception, he could only feel two fast-moving clumps of thatch, and he couldn't detect the signs of the two. As soon as the two of them stopped, it was difficult to distinguish from their surroundings.

When Zhang Fan saw so many Japanese troops gathering on the beach, he once opposed the use of the dark gold prop 'Kirishima Sigh', a weapon of mass destruction. Because this may hurt the innocent and suffering of the other party's vow-holders, especially Ben hiding in the ranks of the Japanese army. The green item 'Zero Double Attack' is relatively less powerful and poses no threat to the vow-holder. So this mission, unless you have to refuse to use the 'Kirishima Sigh'.

Akon believes that in the dangerous situation of the current scene, it will be difficult for him to survive if he still has a foolish compassion, and it will eventually affect his own life and the lives of his teammates. If Zhang Fan can't bear to use this prop, then he still uses it himself.

Green Wing also has the same mentality as Akon, and it is really unnecessary to sympathize with others when his own life is not fully guaranteed. This is a deadly game of survival for the strong, and being too merciful will only hurt yourself.

Zhang Fan silently weighed it, Zuihou decided to use it by himself, because his spiritual power value is the most, but he must use it again in the second attack, the first attack first let the opponent's ring holder be exposed, and he should be slightly biased when using it, so as to minimize the senseless death of the opponent's ring holder.

Akon thought for a moment and agreed, he didn't sympathize with Honzo or other vow holders, he thought that it would be better to let the other party's vow bearer be exposed, so as to see what the other party's mission was, and secondly, to leave some hole cards, in case he ran into the same character as the Onmyoji last time?

The sky is getting brighter, and the Japanese troops in the jungle have also arrived at the scene, participating in the work of the first group of Japanese soldiers who arrived first, releasing guard posts everywhere and building air defense fortifications. Now there are nearly 800 Japanese soldiers gathered on the beach. Led by two young ministers. Now, as long as Akon sets up a sniper rifle and fires a shot, killing a young man, he can complete most of the mission.

Looking at the current situation on the beach, it is estimated that within five days, more than 6,000 Japanese troops on the island will be able to assemble here. As long as a small amount of cannon fodder is left to maneuver with the US troops, this retreat can be completed under the nose of the US troops.

To be honest, Zhang Fan didn't care much about whether the U.S. military could intercept this group of defeated troops. He considered how to evacuate safely after the attack on the Japanese army. Of course, we must grasp the time well, and do not let the US troops come too early and disperse the Japanese troops. So when to put Jesse and they report to the station, but that's the key.

The six-person jeep had a radio on board that could send messages to the station at any time. Fortunately, Jesse obeys his words, and when to send the letter, he is still under his control. However, if it were another American scout, I am afraid that things would not have gone so smoothly. This Jesse is probably also a kind of policy tilt of the precept holder Shijie towards himself. may also have his own previous interactions with the characters in this scene, which played a role. Well, this is important, and you have to study it well with Akon.

After this group of Japanese troops came, no other Japanese troops arrived on this day. This was probably due to the fact that the Japanese were adept at stealth operations at night. In order to conceal the eyes and ears of the US military, they maneuvered with them during the day and assembled at the landing site in batches at night. In this way, he unknowingly withdrew from the battlefield of Kuah Island.

Several people took turns resting and observing, and Akon returned to the hidden location with Greenwing at night, and they found a total of four ambush spots. Akon drew a simple map, marked with markers and hidden spots.

"Then tomorrow, when you see the second group of Japanese soldiers, let Jesse report the discovery. It will take at least two days for the U.S. troops to get here from the build-up march, and we can launch a surprise attack before they arrive, and then retreat in the direction the U.S. troops are coming from. The Japanese army did not pursue, and we completed the task safely. They are chasing after them, count them unlucky, and fight with the American GIs. Just to hold them back! Akon spoke his mind.

"Well, let's wait for them to leave, and then go to a few hidden spots to familiarize ourselves with the terrain. Arrange the order of attack. Zhang Fan nodded and said, "It's just that Jesse must follow us, how to arrange it?" As he spoke, he glanced at Jesse's hiding place.

"It's okay, let him follow Greenwing." "Maybe that's not a bad thing, I'm in charge of sniping the Japanese officers, you're in charge of attacking the Japanese with props, and Green Wing is taking Jesse to stop the enemy who comes to track," Akon said. This way we will not be exposed. ”

"It's good to dare like this, the mission of the green wing is more dangerous, and someone has taken care of it." Zhang Fan felt that this arrangement was very good: "You can arrange it, Captain Akon, we will obey the deployment." ”

"Hey, we're going to play the second biggest again!" Akon looked at the beach where the Japanese troops were gathering and smiled darkly.

At night, the six of them left an observation post to pay attention to the beach conditions, and the rest rested to regain their strength.

By the early morning of the second day, another group of Japanese troops had arrived at the beach, bringing the number of Japanese troops assembled here to more than 1,500! The fortifications have almost been built, and a landing ground of about 6,000 people has been opened. The situation is indeed serious.
