The rank of pilot is only warrant officer, which is usually awarded only to cadets in the base. As a carrier-based aircraft pilot, he and his companions now have no aircraft carriers available, so they can only fly from Australian land airfields, which shows that the US military is in the most dangerous situation.

In the past naval battles, 419 has done its best to help the US Navy achieve a great victory. But this was still not enough to shake the superiority of the Japanese army in the Pacific.

Lieutenant Kennedy shook hands with the young pilot, briefed each other on ranks and names, and then Kennedy asked him about some updates.

The warrant officer knew that the situation was not optimistic, and when the warrant officer took off, he saw that the huge Japanese fleet was concentrated outside the port of Darwin, but that was not all. The elusive detachment of the Japanese army, in bad weather, climbed up from a nearby cliff and attacked the rear of the port. The warrant officer said that when he flew over the coast of Australia, he realized that the idea of keeping the enemy off the coast was not feasible, and that the coastline of Australia was too long to be fortified everywhere.

Seeing that the war was tense, the lieutenant was in a hurry to return to the damaged * bomber, and he wanted to see if the plane's radio could be used, but the aircraft radio was half a pound and eight taels with his * boat radio, although there was nothing wrong, but he could not find any superiors.

"It looks like we'll only be able to stay here for a few days until friendly forces from a nearby island come and pick us up." The lieutenant said with regret.

"I think you'd better be prepared." "When I was at sea, I saw a damaged Japanese submarine approaching here. After I got separated from my squadron leader, I heard him say on the radio that he had damaged a Japanese mini-submarine, which should have been this one. ”

"A damaged submarine? How far away? ”

"From the northeast, about 15 nautical miles, the submarine is still smoking, it must not be able to dive, if I hadn't been chased by Japanese planes, I would have sunk it." The warrant officer added.

Lin Xiuxuan was silent on the side, he didn't know this information, but 419's sonar was not omnipotent in such an archipelago fractured area, because there were many terrain shielding situations.

"How big is the submarine?"

"It's about 150 feet long. On the foredeck there was a twin small-caliber gun. The warrant officer shrugged his shoulders to show that he wasn't quite sure.

"yes, they must have thought this place was occupied, so they came here." The lieutenant said.

"Then let's fight again and kill them all." The paratrooper sergeant on the side said.

"It's a pity that my *boat* is gone, otherwise we could blow it up by night attack."

"If I were you, I wouldn't blow it up." Lin Xiuxuan said.

Everyone didn't speak, waiting for Captain Lin to continue, everyone knew that he was good at commanding ground operations, and there was a team of elusive men, and a 40 mm machine gun.

"If it can dock, it means that it still has some fuel left, grab it, just enough for your *boat to get out of here."

Lin said.

"Why did he dock? It will find that the Japanese army here has been cleared. ”

"There is a Japanese flag in the port. It's going to be on the shore. ”

"Just one flag, they will be suspicious, the port is bombed in a mess, if it were me, I would not dock."

"I can put on the Japanese uniform, go and trick them ashore, and then you can deal with the Japanese."

"Is it that simple?" The lieutenant asked.

"Yes, the Japanese sailors are not equipped with many weapons, and your firepower is enough to destroy them."

"If so, it's worth a try. With just 200 gallons of gas, my boat will be able to get out of here. ”

He pondered for a while, and it was clear that there was only one way to do it, and it was worth sinking an enemy submarine without getting gasoline.

Lin took advantage of his time to think, and found a fairly complete military uniform and a steel helmet from the dead Japanese soldier. If there is not a single Japanese in the port, it will indeed make people suspicious. He had to trick the Japanese into going ashore.

At the same time, 419, who heard the news from Lin Xiuxuan's microphone, had already mobilized the drone to the northeast to make up for the enemy situation missed by the sonar blind spot, but fortunately, Warrant Officer Bush saw this situation in the sky. Cheng Dayang and the political commissar also analyzed Lin Xiuxuan's plan, it sounds feasible, Japanese sailors are usually not equipped with guns, as long as they are tricked ashore, it is easy to solve, but there is always some heavy firepower on the front deck of the submarine, this is the problem that Lin is facing, he must solve the double machine gun as soon as possible, otherwise this gun can instantly reverse the situation.

Without further ado, Kennedy returned to port with the group, and if Lin's plan succeeded, the fuel problem would be solved once and for all, and he would have added one submarine to his record, enough to earn a congressional medal.

The UAV rises in height in order to quickly increase the reconnaissance range. Bush was right, and sure enough, a small submarine was discovered 20 kilometers away. Unexpectedly, it was just a small submarine of the Lu 100 type. This submarine and on the foredeck there was a twin 25-mm cannon. The submarine was riddled with bullet marks, and it seemed that it had been damaged by air strafing and *close bombing, and it was definitely impossible to dive.

The canopy of the weapons loading compartment on the aft deck was open, and smoke was rising from this position, and a pipe suspected to be a dewatering pump came out of here to drain water into the sea. The speed of the detection is only 3 knots, which shows that the engine is injured, and the injury is not light.

More than a dozen dirty crew members all gathered on the deck and the enclosure, probably because they were afraid that the submarine would sink and not have time to run. Some of the wounded, simply bandaged, lay on stretchers.

Cheng Dayang quickly consulted the information obtained by listening to the enemy's radio, and it was written that this small submarine was equipped with 38 personnel, which was a small number.

419 informed Lin Xiuxuan of the situation through the radio, predicting that it would take three and a half hours for the enemy's submarine to arrive, and Lin reminded the lieutenant to hurry to the port and make some deployment.

After 2 hours, they finally arrived in port, and the submarine was already visible in the distance and the black smoke that enveloped the surroundings, and it was still slowly moving. Kennedy's men had to be deployed here carefully, and submarine captains usually carried 20 times more binoculars, and if they saw people in American uniforms moving here, the plan would be ruined. Their ambush area was set up behind the ruins, and when Lin Xiuxuan tricked most of the Japanese ashore, he opened fire.

A dozen people lay in ambush behind the ruins and began a long wait (that submarine was too slow). The Americans were all worried that the submarine would turn to the island of East Timor when it saw the bombed scattered harbor from afar.

However, Lin was already confident, because 419 heard a telegram from the submarine to headquarters, reporting that the submarine was seriously flooded and needed urgent repairs, and a doctor was needed, and there were 11 wounded on board, 5 of whom were seriously injured.

Behind the ruins everyone huddled together, waiting for the stupid Japanese to take the bait. Warrant Officer Bush picked up a Japanese rifle, which would be his first ground combat in the future.

"Don't be afraid boy, we're here with our veterans. The battle will be easy. Kennedy said, not so much as comfort as boasting.

"Lieutenant, will the Japanese be fooled?"

"If the captain fails, we will storm and we must capture the submarine."

"Lieutenant, I'm in the air and I see the wounded lying on the deck, what about those wounded?" The warrant officer asked.

"Hell, only dead Japanese are good Japanese." The paratrooper sergeant next to him immediately taught Bush a lesson.

However, this question also made Kennedy a little difficult.

"If you're not ready, don't shoot at the wounded and leave it to those who are ready."

"I don't know when this damn war will end." One soldier held back such a sentence for some reason.

"War is the theme of human history, and mankind will never be able to get rid of it." Kennedy said coldly.

"How dare you say it." Lin, who was lying on his stomach and observing, sneered.

"The lieutenant is from Harvard." Immediately someone added.

"Then I ask you, what do you think the next war will be fought for?" Lin threw him a question.

"If we lose, it will be a war between Japan and Germany, for the sake of fighting for the world. If we win, I'm afraid it will be ...... Between us and the USSR, for different values. ”

Everyone laughed, and everyone thought that the lieutenant was deliberately unconventional, and his conclusion sounded unreasonable.

"I don't think that mankind will go to war for different ideals," the young warrant officer really agreed, "I don't think the purpose of war has been any different for thousands of years." Just as we are going to rob the Japanese of gasoline now to start our war machine, future wars will be for resources, most likely oil. ”

The roar of the machine gradually became louder, Lin got up and walked out of the ruins, and he could see that the submarine was approaching, and on the crowded foredeck, someone was preparing to skim the cable. Someone on the enclosure beckoned to him, presumably the captain. He straightened his clothes and walked over, he had a huge cut in his back, which had been scraped open by a torn, and his trousers were a lot shorter, so he could only face the Japanese to avoid revealing the flaws. His gaze slipped over everyone and saw all these Japanese, not a single one of them carrying a gun.

"Hey, what's the mess with the docks here?" In the distance, the Japanese second lieutenant captain shouted.

"Just been bombed by the U.S. military. But our flag still flies. ”

"Ah, we were just as unlucky, we were attacked by American planes at sea, and nine people died......"

Lin silently calculated that in addition to the dead and wounded, there were about twenty left.

"We need your Army doctors."

"The doctor is in the bomb shelter, you have to carry the wounded down." Lin kept standing still in the distance.

At this time, the mooring operation had been completed, and there was no springboard, but the submarine and the berth were high on one side, and several people jumped down and began to pick up the stretcher on the boat. Soon, ten people carried five stretchers and went in the direction of Lin Zhi. The captain came over and shook Lin's hand. Then, following Lin Zhi's direction, he walked through the square full of craters, and he noticed that the ground was full of dead bodies, which seemed very wrong.

Lin Mo confirmed that most of the people had gone ashore, and there were only about three or four people left on the boat, one person was on the enclosure, two people stayed behind to guard the machine guns, and at most one person was in the boat. It looks like these guys won't come down. He crept up behind the sailors. The sailors on duty on the enclosure saw the big hole behind it and thought it was funny, what kind of poor virtue the army was.

Lin suddenly jumped onto the deck, drew his pistol and shot the two people who stayed in the gun position, and then turned around, the smirking sailor on the shell had already fallen in response, and was shot by Qin Xiaosu.
