The Japanese army is good at using complex terrain to attack, but there is no complex terrain here. When Zhou Youfu launched an attack during the day, he took advantage of the low-lying terrain to avoid the firing range of anti-aircraft guns, but it was completely useless for infantry charges. In the surrounding paddy fields, there is only rice that is low in May, and even if it crawls forward, it cannot hide itself.

The Japanese attempted to distract the defenders with frontal artillery fire, and then approached as close as possible to the target before charging to reduce casualties. Of course, such a large-scale, approaching operation in the wild, it is impossible to hide for long, even if there is a cover of night.

The searchlights of the airport that Zhou Youfu took over suddenly turned on and began to strafe in all directions. The Japanese sharpshooters quickly destroyed the searchlight, but the gunfire revealed the general direction of their movements.

From the perspective of the drone, the airfield is located in three directions, east, west, and north, each of which has gathered more than a thousand enemy troops, apparently the size of three brigades, and two more brigades are farther to the east, as reserves. If they attack, they will have to rush through hundreds of meters of uncovered wildness, and then face a barbed wire.

There was originally a barbed wire fence around the airport, which was damaged a lot by Lao Zhou's tanks a few hours ago, but he later used the remaining barbed wire in the warehouse to fill it up. Without tanks, it would not be easy for soldiers to jump over weak barbed wire.

Without much preparation, after the order was given, the three groups attacked almost simultaneously, and several thousand Japanese troops rushed blindly to the target in this way, I don't know who gave them such courage to launch a charge in the absence of heavy weapons and the unknown situation of the enemy.

Perhaps they think that the enemy is still very small and ammunition is scarce, or that tanks are very ineffective at night. Major General Akashi did not know that Zhou Youfu had been replenished with a large number of weapons and personnel during the transportation operation after dark.

When the Japanese secretly charged, they could see the C47 transport plane on their heads constantly descending, and they judged that the Chinese army did not detect their movements.

Flares suddenly fell from the sky, illuminating the earth brightly. The machine gunner could clearly see the figure under the feet of the Japanese soldier in the wilderness. Machine guns began to fire, pointing at the enemy at a distance of several hundred meters.

Half-tracks and jeeps loaded with heavy machine guns quickly moved behind the trenches to replenish the fire inside the trenches. Mortars began to attack the dense crowd in the rear, where the enemy had not yet had time to disperse.

At the beginning of the period, Zhou Youfu was still a little afraid, but the plane that kept landing cut the runway, making it impossible for him to mobilize troops across the runway in time to rescue. But then, news came from all directions, reassuring him, that the enemy's attack was blocked, and their frantic charge to the barbed wire almost stopped.

The enemy attack seemed to have been rushed and there was not even equipment ready to blow up the barbed wire. Under intense fire, they tried to cut through the barbed wire with hydraulic tongs.

Some of the barbed wire fences were indeed cut or blown up, which caused the charging Japanese to concentrate on these breaches, while the 202nd Division machine gunners took advantage of the enemy's dense formation and concentrated their fire on these missing fires.

The Willis jeep blocked the breach as fast as it could. Soon these funnel-shaped breaches became traps, and they were quickly blocked by corpses, unable to pass through. There were also Japanese soldiers who tried to climb over barbed wire, which was of course an almost impossible task when the enemy had a good field of view/range. Only sporadic Japanese firepower hit the side of the Chinese army's position, mostly grenadiers and light machine guns, which was completely unable to suppress the Chinese firepower. Even unprotected jeeps dared to drive back and forth more than a hundred meters in front of the Japanese troops, looking for better firing positions.

Zhou Youfu didn't have to wait for the front report, he stood in the command headquarters, and he could also hear that the enemy's charge had weakened. By midnight, all Japanese attacks had gradually stopped. Chu Tingchang insisted on guarding the airport half a day ago, and Zhou Youfu was a little hesitant at that time, because stationing at the airport meant losing the mobility he relied on for survival, and at that time he was short of ammunition and fuel. He had never experienced a battle like this before. In the end, what prompted him to stay was not only the superstition of Chu Tingchang, but also the fact that he did have a lot of seriously injured people who needed to be sent away in time. Zhou Youfu's troops were lax in discipline, and many times relied on brotherhood and righteousness on the battlefield to maintain combat effectiveness. He really regarded officers and soldiers as brothers, and although he never relented at the table, he never treated soldiers as consumables. Even if the 202nd Division committed serious crimes of robbery or rape from time to time, he tried to keep his soldiers.

Before dawn, only sporadic gunfire remained, and the wails of wounded Japanese soldiers in front of the trenches. After dawn, the soldiers walked out of the trenches and could see layers of enemy corpses. In the night battle, there was not even a counter-charge of tanks, and a large number of enemies were eliminated with the help of machine guns alone. A cursory count shows that around the airfield, there are at least two thousand five hundred enemy corpses. The enemy 48 brigade, close to being wiped out.

This was an order issued directly to the 48 Brigade by the staff headquarters on the mainland, bypassing the commander, and their grasp of the enemy's situation was obviously wrong. Now Zhou Youfu gradually has the strength to threaten Yamashita Fengwen from the rear, but Chu Tingchang is not in a hurry to let Zhou Youfu devote himself to the battle of annihilating Yamashita, he asked Lao Zhou to disperse some troops, control the entire Cambodia as quickly as possible, take over the vacuum left by the Japanese after the lack of troops, and at the same time collect the French weapons, what he is most worried about is that the local armed forces will quickly obtain weapons and become stronger. Whether it is Ho Chi Minh, Le Duan, Lon Nol, or Son Ngoc Thanh, they are all potential threats.

Cambodia does not have a strong Chinese force, and any warlord on either side may turn to the United States and France. Only the royal family is more moderate and suitable for cooperation. Chu Dinh did not want Vietnamese forces to infiltrate the region too much, after all, they shared a common culture and could form a unified regime in Indochina after the war.

On the surface of the East China Sea, the salvage ship can be code-named and is still carrying out salvage work uninterruptedly. Underwater, divers work hard at the pressure of the immense, disabling water. Under the blue arc light of the cutter, the indestructible steel plate was gradually cut into a rectangular opening.

The situation on the water is becoming more complicated. An hour ago, the telegraph room that could be code-named was able to send a telegram to the US submarine and judged that a submarine was nearby. And the climate is changing adversely.

The Noh Obi itself was practicing radio silence, so it had to solve the problem on its own, so several destroyers expanded the patrol area, but the wind picked up at sea, and the sea conditions intensified and reduced visibility. The motionless ship had to rely on luck to continue waiting. In wind and waves, the enemy's periscope can hide itself well, while the higher mast, which can be codenamed, is easily exposed.

Through the underwater intercom, Sato asks about his progress every 20 minutes. In his cabin, he set up a blackboard and drew the approximate cutting progress on it. It seems that all three sides of the square entrance are completed, and the last corner remains.

Maybe the results will come soon. However, the sea conditions are intensifying, and if the shaking is too great, the submersible will not be able to be raised, which of course involves a lengthy underwater decompression process, which complicates matters. The seaplanes that took off from the ship saw a huge cyclone to the south and probably approached here. I don't know why, every time the salvage is close to success, the weather gets worse, and this has been the case for three years. Sato didn't know if it was the kind of metaphysics that was starting to work. Once he returned, meaning he couldn't return for a week, he was determined to take a risk and wait for the last four divers.

As the captain of the last group of four divers, Asami is still using a cutter, trying to cut the last few centimeters. I don't know anything about the wind and waves on the sea.

He had never seen such a tough steel plate. No one told him what it was, but he felt that the ship was very "ahead of its time", both in terms of material and shape. He speculated that it might be a German or American ship.

He finally finished cutting the entire rectangle, but the steel plate remained there. He slammed a hammer against the steel plate a few times. The steel plate dented, and finally the whole fell through the hole. After 60 hours of hard work, it was a success.

There's still a lot of oxygen left, so it's obvious to go in and look for something. No one told them what had happened, but every diver here had seen the picture Makino had drawn, a yellow cylindrical jar, about 110 centimeters long and 40 centimeters in diameter, which was very heavy because of its lead shell (which prevents the seepage of slow neutrons in nature). The superiors told them that if they caught these things, they would have made a great contribution to the war.

After attaching the diving rope, Asami motioned for the two to stay outside, ready to push and pull at any time, and he and another diver went inside. They carried flashlights and a stick with a brush on the other, and they needed to be swept with a small broom because what they were looking for might be hidden by the mud and sand.

When the two of them entered the cabin, they were greeted by various boxes floating in front of them. They don't have to bother paying attention to these things because what they're looking for is heavy and won't float in front of them.

They slowly walked through a pile of miscellaneous things, including several sets of pressurized water reactor models, the original Japanese plan was meticulous, in addition to paper description documents, plastic waterproof documents, electronic documents, design drawings, and various models, which were used to intuitively guide the technicians of this era.

Asami walked through the clutter, and when the flashlight swept by, he saw a conspicuous yellow. His flashlight hurried back and saw the yellow jars scattered on the ground. The size and color are the same as those explained by Sato. He could see that there were at least seven or eight on the ground, and if he searched around, he would surely find more.

He didn't have time to do this, though, and he had to hurry back with these things, at least two according to the orders of his superiors. The superiors had told them that this kind of thing had to be collected in pairs, and that the singular number did not make sense.

He untied his own dive rope and tied the yellow jar while his companion tied the other with his own dive rope.
