There was a shout from the outside selling sweet potatoes, which was a warning sign from the dark whistle, and everyone was packing up their things together, and soon the shouting of the dark whistle changed, it was the code to lift the alarm, and it was their own people

"It's Kobayashi-kun here. Maybe you got poison gas from medical school? Saito said.

Coming in from the outside was Masao Kobayashi, a student at Takushoku University's School of Medicine, one of the youngest members of the Japanese Communist Party, who is currently a lecturer in the university's Faculty of Chemistry and has never revealed his identity.

"Good news for everyone," Kobayashi announced a major development as soon as he entered, "I got organophosphate poison from the school room. ”

"What poison?" Saito hurriedly asked.

"It's ethyl dimethylhydrocyanide phosphate, which the school produced in small batches for the military many years ago, and there are some high-purity samples kept in the in-house laboratory."

As he spoke, he took out a clear glass bottle from his bag, which was not marked with any markings, and contained about 400 milliliters of colorless liquid.

Everyone took half a step back in unison.

"The lethal dose is 300 mg, there is no antidote. They must also be given a taste of the poison. Xiao Lin gently put down the medicine bottle and said. He was originally from Taiwan, his surname was Lin, and his father's generation changed his Japanese name, and in his family memory, the part of the Japanese army's use of poison gas to kill people has not been erased.

"Why is it so easy?" Saito was a little puzzled, after all, Kobayashi's teaching position was very low.

"I stole the dean's key." Kobayashi said.

"Can I use it with *?"

"Yes, the power of the explosion can increase the lethality of the poison...... According to the report of the Army Weapons Test Site, using * to attack in the open area, it is possible to instantly kill an unprotected person within 4 thousand square meters of circumference. Indoors, the effect is even better. ”

"So, everyone in the banquet hall will be killed?"

"None of the good things anyway."

In fact, Masao Kobayashi had already confessed during the interrogation of Zorge and Oki, and the Special High School deliberately did not arrest him in order to take a long-term view, but the gendarmerie did not know about this matter. This gave Kagesa Zhen, Showa Intelligence Vice-Minister Okumura, room to operate. He was able to get the poison, and it was arranged by Kagesa.

Meanwhile, a small coup d'état is being planned at Konoe's private residence, this time with fewer participants than the one a year earlier, but still planned by Ishihara.

A year earlier, in order to prevent the war from being sent to the Nagumo fleet, Ishihara had planned a coup d'état at the brigade level of the 1st Division. Although the people involved in the knowledge are all dead, there are still many clues.

It was precisely because Tojo listened to Konoe's advice that he did not conduct a large-scale search, which could be regarded as giving some face to the restless people in the army for the sake of the war having already broken out. He could roughly guess that Ishihara was involved. And this time, Konoe personally participated in the seizure of power.

"As long as it is confirmed that Tojo is dead, these people must be arrested immediately and shot on the spot, the first is Ryoji Shikata of the gendarmerie, or Sato of the Military Affairs Bureau He is a diehard Tojo loyalist, and Muto of the Guards Division is also a stumbling block. Kill them, and you can put the blame on them...... Let's just say that the Quartet deliberately allowed the * elements, and Muto instigated the personnel of the Guards Division to participate in the assassination. Konoe Fumiki said endlessly.

"Why do you want to confirm Tojo's death?" Ishihara shook his head, "As soon as the operation starts, whether he is dead or not, Muto Akira must be killed immediately, so that we can immediately mobilize about 1,500 people from the Guards Division to take control of the council hall." Then martial law was imposed in Tokyo. ”

"However, if Tojo hadn't died, the soldiers might not have dared to shoot."

"Don't worry about that," Kagesa interjected, "If Tojo isn't dead, I'll personally lead the third team and put on gas masks to sneak in." I agree with General Ishihara that once you start, you can't turn back, and you must kill Tojo. In this way, Japan can be reversed on the wrong track. ”

"But, as you said just now, those co-poisons can't be protected against gas masks, so if you go in, wouldn't it be ......?"

"I'm ready to die, Japan can live without me, but not without Makino." Shadow Zuo Zhenzhao said, for a while, the scene became a little sad.

"We must narrow down the scope of the purge, and don't move the generals on the front line, including Kimura. Transfer him back to China first, and then solve it. In the end, it was Kagesa Shoaki himself who broke the silence.

"Transfer Kimura, what about Myanmar?"

"Let's let Lieutenant General Iida go, he is very familiar with the situation there, I think Staff Officer Tsuji can also go to Burma, he has been studying Chu Tingchang recently, and he is a person who knows the details."

"Yes, we must act quickly, the navy has just suffered a dumb loss, and in order to capture the strategically meaningless Australia, it has lost so many capital ships." Ishihara sighed, "I always feel that with the current momentum, the biggest threat may not be *...... Perhaps, Chu Tingchang will soon bring down Vietnam and cut off the land connection between the empire and the South Seas. Then there won't be any need for the island-hopping battle Asano is talking about......"

"What would you do if you were the land minister?"

"I want Yamashita to be Chief of the General Staff. With him in charge of the overall situation, the war in Nanyang can drag on. ”

"Impossible, the Holy Lord hates the mountain."

"Then let me think again. Alternatively, you can find Gangcun to be the chief of staff and hand over the war in China to other generals. ”

On Luodi Island, the crew of 419 began to rest, and all those who were not on duty or did not participate in Operation Shuping could go ashore, and in order to confuse the locals who were gradually coming out of the deep mountains and old forests, they each changed into a military uniform of the 6th Infantry Division of the US Army. The natives here are not completely uncivilized, the missionaries have run elementary schools, many speak a few words of English or Dutch, and although they may not be able to distinguish submarines, they may be able to keep track of what they see, so be careful.

Cheng Dayang set the rule that everyone should not contact the locals, do not hurt them, and do not communicate with them, so as not to leave horses' feet.

Qin Xiaosu used drones to map the island, which has many shallow bays connected to rivers, some of which change with the tides. He feared that the shallow-water gunboats or boats on both sides would slip to the edge of the island and then go around the river to the back of SCP-419.

Shu Ping's work has already begun, he already has experience in developing the hatch cover of the shooter, and quickly hoisted a *, this time without removing the warhead, but it must be kept in a suspended state, and then he cracked the locked launch system both software and hardware through the access hatch. At the moment, 419 can neither be launched nor input target coordinates from fire control without instructions from a higher level.

For the sake of insurance, Cheng Dayang estimated the response to possible emergencies, and he judged that it would take about 1 hour from the first time he put down to the rapid dive of all the emergency boarding. The main thing is that the crane operation is difficult and cannot be fast, otherwise the single wing will be stuck. At this time, the limit of the 419 search radar, which provides early warning of an approach to a target in the air, will be reached. That is, an aircraft 400 km away could reach 419 heads in an hour.

Early the next morning, the radar detected a group of fighter planes taking off from the vicinity of Australia and flying towards East Timor, and the altitude and speed of the planes this time were not as good as the pirates who came last time, and they were probably bombers. Soon the communications of the US military plane were monitored, and sure enough, it was a carrier-based aircraft of the Navy. The U.S. military rarely deploys carrier-based aircraft to ground airfields, and it is estimated that MacArthur put pressure on the Navy through his means.

12 new TBF bombers, visiting the Japanese who had just arrived on the island. This aircraft has a clear advantage over the Corsair, which can only shoot eight small warheads*, while this bomber brings four 500-pound *, which is close to a ton, and it also has a machine gun located in the belly of the aircraft, which can shoot at the ground when the plane is flying level, and the ground firing range is not bad.

Cheng Dayang was very worried about the novice piloting these fighters, because of a navigation error, flying towards him. Fortunately, worried about being redundant, they accurately found the target, and according to the interception, the attack destroyed 10 Japanese Army planes parked on the side of the runway, as well as several unfinished pillboxes, and I don't know if the pilot bragged.

In the afternoon, Qin Xiaosu overheard a telegram from the US Army, suggesting that while the enemy's foothold in East Timor was not stable, he should use * boats to carry a small detachment to land in East Timor and carry out a sneak attack. I don't know if the success of the air raid in the morning encouraged the US military.

This is what Cheng Dayang is most worried about, if the Allies start to fight guerrilla warfare in the Nusa Tenggara Islands, those sea and air routes are all close to 419. Timor-Leste Island is only 30 kilometers away from Rhodi Island, and the Japanese will come over as soon as they raise their legs, and if the Allies provoke the Japanese army in a hurry, they will definitely sweep across the sea, and it is estimated that the first stop is Rhodi Island.

In addition to urging Shu Ping, he had nothing to do. Sure enough, that night, two US military transport planes flew to East Timor and then landed on the island. About 30 paratroopers were parachuted onto the island for a sneak attack.

Since Chu Tingchang was in Burma, often conducting small-scale airborne operations, the Allied thinking in this regard has become broader. It was even learned from the radio that the commander of the operation was also from the 502 regiment. After Sittwe was airborne, the recruits of the 502nd Regiment began to go out to the division, and they wanted to bring this set of tactics to New Guinea to cause chaos in 419.

The battle lasted for two days, and on the third day, two U.S. boats from Surveillance Road 419 passed less than 20 kilometers in front of them to pick up the paratroopers in East Timor.

Their evacuation was in trouble, the paratroopers did not completely get rid of the Japanese pursuit, two Japanese planes flew along the coast, and after sunrise they spotted the retreating * boat, and the Japanese planes then attacked. One of them fled, the other was wounded.

Qin Xiaosu heard the lieutenant commanding the operation call to the headquarters, reporting that the fuel tank of the PT109* boat had been pierced by Japanese planes and had lost fuel, and that it needed to temporarily dock at Lodi Island, repair the ship, and search for fuel left by the army.

The boat's radio was underpowered, and no one except 419 heard its call, but even without the approval of its superiors, it made a beeline for Rodi Island.

Cheng Dayang is angry, he estimates that things are going to be messed up, because there is more than one * boat, and the Japanese are likely to be attracted by them.
