Xu Chong spent 2 hours swimming along the coast to the shore of the bridge of the boat. The garrison surrounded the communications facilities from three sides and set up machine guns, while the sea side was the weakest defense.

He quietly climbed up to the reef, and on the shore was a meteorological observation post belonging to the same Japanese army, which was unmanned. It is already very close to the main tower of the communication facility.

He hid behind meteorological observation equipment, and with his night vision goggles, he could see the Japanese troops patrolling with guns in the north, and even hear their voices. He couldn't go on, it would be too dangerous. So he took out Lin Xiuxuan's small remote-controlled car to approach and eavesdrop. The car had an irregular shell on top that could be disguised as a normal stone block, and its mission was not to drill under the crotch of the garrison Japanese troops and enter the base to eavesdrop. Instead, it only needs to crawl slowly on the grass outside the base to detect the underground communication cables, which can theoretically detect the magnetic signals emitted by the shallowly buried communication cables, and then restore them. The Magnetism itself can't be blocked, but it decays a lot at longer distances, so in addition to relying on sensitive equipment, you also have to try your luck and pray that the enemy is not buried too deep. Without the support of the 419 UAV, it was impossible to observe the direction of the enemy's cable from the air, which made the search aimless.

Xu Chong controls the trolley and slowly passes through the flat grass, searching for signals that change vertically below. Always maintain a distance of 60-40 meters from enemy sentries, and at night such a distance is safe.

At the same time, there was a lot of noise at the entrance of the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, and after nightfall, the garrison at the gate of the palace suddenly doubled, and the entire palace was suddenly flooded.

Prime Minister Tojo, who was also the Minister of War, wore a military uniform, a full set of medals, and a saber at his waist, and drove into the palace. He was anxious to convey to the emperor the astonishing news that the news of the breakdown in the negotiations between Japan and the United States had leaked, which in turn caused the Guards Division to be unstable, and it was reported that some young officers were planning to war. At this moment of crisis, he resolutely prepared to personally guard the palace to prevent anyone from disturbing the Holy Driver. Of course, all of this was actually directed and acted by himself, and the so-called chaos was also instigated behind the scenes by a team of his army department.

However, when they arrived at the palace gate, they were informed by the Minister of the Interior, Kido, who had been waiting for a long time, that the emperor and his wife had left the palace six hours early and went elsewhere to recuperate, and that they would not return to the palace for the next week.

The emperor ran away. Obviously, Hirohito's political sense is quite sensitive, and after Konoe visited, he immediately decided to avoid this right and wrong for the time being, and naturally in order to avoid further decisions on whether to go to war or not, he threw the current mess to the cabinet and the military department.

Only then did Tojo realize that there might be a thoughtful person behind him, who was working against him, and maybe he was still an old rival. This made him suspicious and began to conduct a thorough investigation of the command and communication system of the entire base camp, and he wanted to see which nodes were not under his control.

At 3 a.m., it will be dark. Xu Chong's stone moved 200 meters, but still did not find any signal from under the ground. He had to be back in the sea in 30 minutes so that he could return in the night, but he still wanted to risk a little longer. In the abandoned hospital 1,700 meters behind him, Lin Xiuxuan could see his actions through the night vision device, and he was also anxious at the moment. The problem he was facing at the moment was that he could not figure out the intention of the Japanese troops to occupy the communication station, but he observed that they had also installed* on the power station and the communication antenna, and even plugged in electricity*, and the detonation wire was exposed to the ground, leading to a temporary headquarters in an open field, raised with sandbags. On the surface, the enemy's purpose was the same as his own, but he didn't think it was that simple. Maybe this gang is here to sabotage the war, and he has to figure out the relationship. Because it is a matter of whether 419 will be exposed in advance because of the signal sent to the mobile fleet, in principle, it is of course best to avoid 419 meddling.

The monitor in front of him jumped. Shows a magnetic signal with a jumping nearby. Then the signals become frequent. It seems that there are indeed communication cables underneath, and they are not buried deeply. He instructed Xu Chong to make a circular movement with a radius of 2 meters, and determine the best position for monitoring before the enemy stopped talking. From here, the cable is on the shortest route from the bridge to the east, and it seems that the Japanese are really good at saving equipment.

Over there, Qin Xiaosu was already ready for signal processing and recording. But when the camouflaged stone stopped, there was no signal, and it seemed that the call was over. I had to leave it there.

Xu Chong re-entered the water and began the long return process, which was still 2 hours before sunrise.

Lin put on his headphones and waited patiently. Enemy voice communications cannot be encrypted and can be eavesdropped synchronously, but further gain processing may be required due to the lack of specific signal strength.

After waiting for a few minutes, a continuous pulse signal appeared. This is the signal after someone picks up the microphone and then shakes the handle. The phone was answered. You can hear the muffled voice after restoration, and you can only tell that the speech is very fast, but you can't hear it clearly. He turned to Qin Xiaosu. I saw Qin Xiaosu quickly pressing a row of buttons on the computer, and his voice gradually became clear.

“…… This is the Funabashi garrison. ”

"The base camp wants to find out, what's going on with your deployment there? Why the sudden appearance of military vehicles? ”

"It was a joint air raid exercise of the 57th Wing of the 1st Division and the engineering unit."

"Why didn't you report it?"

"Squadron-level exercises, maybe the division and regimental staff forgot to inform their superiors."

"From now on, we will be in a state of combat readiness, and there will be emergency communications at any time, and I hope you will be ready here to ensure that the equipment is complete."

"Understood."

Lin gave Qin Xiaosu a thumbs up, indicating that his voice was clear.

"Lu Qingshan, Ma Qiang, come here." He motioned for his two most effective snipers to come to the window, "You have seen all those improvised fortifications of the enemy, how far away can you break those detonating wires?" ”

"It's too difficult, you have to get close to about 300 meters to be sure." Xu Chong shook his head and said.

"That's going to be difficult, the enemy is likely to launch an operation during the day, and there is no way to get that close during the day."

"Team leader, why are you interrupting those detonation lines again?" Ma Qiang was confused, "If they blow up this communication station, isn't it the same as our purpose?" ”

"I'm not sure about the actual situation yet, but I suspect that things have changed profoundly, and we should take advantage of the situation and steer things in the direction that is most beneficial to us."

"What's changed?" Ma Qiang looked at Lin Xiuxuan with an unenlightened look.

"Within six hours, the Japanese troops in Tokyo moved frequently and concentrated in the direction of the base camp, which was the prelude to a small coup d'état by the enemy."

"A coup d'état? There hasn't been this in history, huh? ”

"Yes, not in history. The only variable is those guys. Their purpose was to prevent the war. ”

When Lin explained, Xu Chong and Qin Xiaosu next to him were nodding slightly, but Ma Qiang was still full of confusion.

"Comrade Ma Qiang, let's put it this way, our original plan was to give orders directly to the enemy, but in fact, it was just a policy, and the existence of 419 would inevitably be exposed." Seeing that Ma Qiang finally nodded, he continued, "But now, it seems that the enemy's main station and the main and two factions are about to have a showdown, and at this moment, we must strategically consider maximizing interests. ”

"Help their main battle faction succeed?"

"Yes, the premise is that we must first find out who occupies the communication facilities at present, and it stands to reason that those who want to blow up the communication station must be the one who does not want to go to war, and of course there may be variables, which remains to be seen. Let's go back to the topic just now, can we stop the enemy from detonating at the same distance as possible? ”

"With anti-materiel weapons, it must be about 300 meters to break the wire, but if you attack the temporary command post from a high position, you can be sure that you will hit the detonators on duty at a distance of 1 kilometer." Lu Qingshan said.

"Very well, it looks like we're going to have to get deeply involved in this game."

A second call was detected over there, and Lin began to eavesdrop synchronously.

“…… Funabashi, report to you at once for the rank of Supreme Commander here. ”

"Yesterday it was the captain of the Hidaka squad, and currently, the 1st Engineer Wing, Captain Kikujiro Ono."

"Why did someone take over the defense and not report it, and immediately let Captain Ono listen to the phone."

"Yes."

After a while.

"This is the 1st Division Engineer Wing, Captain Ono."

"This is Watanabe, the Operations Division of the Tokyo General Staff, and I hereby order your department to immediately withdraw from the communication post, dismiss all deployments, and dismantle temporary facilities. Do you understand? ”

"Our unit has received orders from superiors to defend this place with all its might, and we will not be able to carry out this order."

"Captain, don't be fooled, please carry out the order immediately."

"I am directly under the command of the division and regimental headquarters, if you have anything to say, go and tell my superiors."

After saying that, Ono hung up the phone vigorously.

Lin nodded to everyone with a smile, and as he expected, the enemy began to tear themselves up. Then there were phone calls, but no one answered. He expected that in less than an hour, a large group of men would come to kill him.

The sky was bright. Eight heavy machine guns were erected around the communications post to complete the defense. The garrison made full use of the original half-buried pillbox facilities, and the sappers cleared the firing range in the open on three sides, so that any target that approached would enter an unsupported open area within a range of several hundred meters.

Lin Yuan saw such a deployment, it is estimated that the garrison can hold out for a while, but the number is still too small, obviously this Japanese army is finally defeated, it will be detonated*, this fire is difficult to handle, he can't intervene too early, because it is not difficult to repair*, so he can only wait for the most critical moment to shoot the explosive. Of course, he has other things to worry about now, and he is worried that Cheng Dayang will not be able to help but send a signal first. So far, 419 has only mastered the main and backup channels for the communication of the Combined Fleet, and does not know exactly the communication channel of the enemy to send the message of the start of war, maybe just the usual channel, but if the enemy agrees on a channel that has never been used, 419's actions may be self-defeating, which is why he wants to avoid actively sending signals as much as possible.

Behind him, Xu Chong and Ma Qiang had already changed into Japanese military uniforms and were ready to go out at any time. Their documents show that they are cavalry units of the 33rd Division far away in China, but there will be chaos in the world later, and they may not need them. The Type 38 carbine they carried with them was also shorter than that of the Japanese army in front of them, which was also a flaw, but it couldn't be controlled.

In the distance, on the road, suddenly there was smoke and dust. Lin held up his binoculars and could see a large number of trucks heading this way. The murderous soldiers with light machine guns on the car, with white strips of cloth tied to their shoulders, really wanted to fight in a civil war posture.
