716 Rhodi Island

Wang came to Japan a few days in advance this time, mainly for medical treatment. In the 34th year of the Republic of China, he was shot three times by Sun Fengming for Lao Jiang, one of which was never taken out, and the bullet began to attack in winter, especially this year. Another purpose was to sign some documents in advance to ensure the supply of rice to the Japanese army.

The Japanese did not like Southeast Asian rice, but they tried to expand the grain requisition in China to create a rice shortage, and then sell Vietnamese rice to China to make another profit. To some extent, this pattern of brutal plundering is a microcosm of the entire Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. Tojo was in a hurry to stick out each of his blood-sucking tentacles.

Japan was still expanding, but it was exhausted, and its invincible military power was beginning to suffer defeats in some areas. Wang Jingwei saw the signs. Japan's foundation is too weak to compete with the United States and Britain for a long time, so only by integrating all its resources and population is Japan's only chance to win, and he must help Tojo and himself.

The motorcade passed through a cheering crowd, and the streets were lined with students waving the flags of the puppet government and the Japanese national school, and Wang Jingwei, wearing a tuxedo, sat in the back seat of the convertible and waved to the crowd.

There were significantly fewer young men in the crowd. Not long ago, Sugiyama Moto, who visited Nanjing, told him that the Japanese Army's latest plan was to strengthen the army to 5.5 million people. There are about 200 army divisions and a number of security brigades. This news can be regarded as a shot in the arm for Wang Jingwei, and he feels that the war may continue. Rice in the south of the Yangtze River, coal in the north of China, this is nothing, as long as this war can at least be won, or at least drawn, if the Japanese run out of oil, the status of the (pseudo) Republic of China in this freak family can be improved.

Generally speaking, the Co-Prosperity Circle has begun to operate, and Nanjing has recently had a number of mutual assistance with Fengtian. Jin Bihui, who was lame, also met with Zhou Fohai, with the purpose of jointly investigating the details of Chu Tingchang, who is currently in the limelight. In his letter to Wang, Pu Yi mentioned Wang's old friendship with their family, which inevitably made Wang Jingwei recall that year and feel a little embarrassed.

The recent appearance of this Chu Pavilion Chief really made Wang Jingwei feel strange, just like Sun Fengming assassinated Lao Jiang back then, but it was himself who was beaten in the end. And he judged that the Chongqing government was exhausted, but there was such a stirring up, and the Japanese who fought in northern Burma could not find the north. Could it be that the will of heaven will not destroy Chiang? This thought, like a bullet in the seventh spine, tormented him all the time.

As the convoy passed through Shibuya, cheers from the streets reached a nearby hut. A few young people here were unmoved and continued to assemble theirs*. Like Wang Jingwei back then, they were using their efforts to stop this unjust war, but they unexpectedly became someone else's pawn.

At this time, 419 sailed to the Afra Sea, and the temporary foothold that Cheng Dayang was looking for for 419 was on the most inconspicuous island in the Nusa Tonggara archipelago, west of East Timor.

This place is far away from Australia and closer to Dutch Indonesia, but the Japanese forces have not yet arrived here because it is really remote.

According to radio information, there were still a number of small Allied military ports scattered on the island, where a large number of Allied submarine forces were stationed, and of course, if the Japanese were determined to settle the situation, they could withdraw to Darwin at any time.

The movement on the Japanese side, mainly in the right hook under the mountain, and a detachment of the navy had been shelling Darwin, which was a precursor to the landing of the troops under the mountain. This force would be used to disperse MacArthur's forces.

At present, the Japanese army has just arrived in East Timor, one step away from Lodi Island, and this is also the best opportunity for 419, because the Allied forces here are bound to withdraw, so that he can quickly seize the port and let Shu Ping go to do it. There are many islands in the Nusa Tenggara archipelago waiting for the Japanese to occupy them one by one, so he expects that it will be some days before the Japanese climb to Rhodi Island.

After the drone was repaired, it took off again to reconnoiter the target area, and Cheng Dayang was worried that the retreat of the allied forces would destroy the port machinery.

During the period when the Allies fled in the first hurried part of the war, they did leave behind a lot of good equipment, including complete radar equipment, which may be of great help to Makino. But at present, the U.S. military seems to have calmed down, and although it is still no match for the Japanese, it at least knows that it destroys equipment before escaping, and cannot let the Japanese take over everything with their bags.

Drones bring good news, bad news. The good news is that the Japanese Army is still fighting the Australian task force in Timor-Leste, and the U.S. Army's *boat unit is massing in the southwest of the island, ready to bring the last wounded and remnants back to Australia. In other words, the Japanese army is still relatively far away.

On the bad news, the drone observed that there were allied forces operating in the port of Lodi Island, across a strait from Timor-Leste, and it appeared that they were preparing to blow up the port.

Cheng Dayang asked Lin Xiuxuan and the political commissar to be found, he didn't want a good port, but at least one berth and a crane could be used. This matter has to be handled by Lin Xiuxuan.

The three of them gathered in the conference room and watched the drone video for a while. Inside the port of Rhodi Island, the Allied forces could be seen busy and apparently moving. Although this port is small, it is very well equipped, in fact, it is not easy to supply * boats, * boats are more difficult to supply than gunboats with much larger tonnage, and they need heavier lifting machinery, which is also the reason why Cheng Dayang likes this place. However, it is also possible to see a white figure (via the camera) wiring on the ground, apparently installing*.

"Lao Lin, you can't let them destroy the equipment." Cheng Dayang said.

"It's not difficult, Qin Xiaosu and I went to the island to destroy those buried *. Just cut the thread. Lin said.

"There are not many troops on the island, it is estimated that there is only one platoon. But this is not a desert island, what about those natives? We will be seen by them when we go to the island. The commissar said.

"They'll automatically run west of the ridge to avoid the fighting, and of course, if they don't leave, we'll us in front of them, they don't have cameras, and they can't figure out what we're doing." Lin Xiuxuan said lightly.

"Yes, I agree with Lin at this point, you see that there are submarine berths in the port, they must have seen submarines before, in their eyes, 419 is just bigger."

Obviously, after the Allies lost their sea supremacy in the Afra Sea, they could still travel to and from the islands of Australia and Indonesia by small * boats, in addition to attacking Japanese warships at night, sometimes carrying some infantry to conduct cross-island guerrilla warfare. Japan's large warships could not keep an eye on every part of the sea in their vast control area, so in recent months, this kind of guerrilla warfare relying on small gunboats and * boats has flourished, and this is also something that has caused both the Japanese army and navy to be a big deal.

At night the next day, Lin Xiuxuan and Qin Xiaosu boarded a small rubber boat driven by a boatswain and landed on the island from the southwest of the small port. Then climb over the mountain girder and head towards the port. At the same time, they received a communication from the submarine that there was no movement in the harbor and few sentinels.

The two easily cut the barbed wire fence and infiltrated the base. There was only about one platoon or more of the defenders here, and it looked like a second-line army with low morale waiting to retreat, and it seemed that the task would not be difficult, as long as part of it was destroyed*.

They quietly bypassed a sentry post and passed through the barracks, preparing to go to the location of the detonating wires marked by the drones and destroy several of them. But when I heard a whisper in the barracks, it turned out to be Cantonese. It seems that most of the left-behind soldiers here are of Chinese descent? Lin Xiuxuan was a little curious, and decided to stay at the door for a while,

"Will the boat come and pick us up? Will our superiors forget about us? A voice said?

"The lieutenant who came yesterday in the Moon Thunder* promised us that he would be back on time."

"But even if you retreat to Australia, the situation is not good. I've heard that the Japanese would execute Chinese prisoners of war first. ”

"Why should we be prisoners, we can die in battle, I have ten children in my family, so I am not afraid of dying in battle."

"Yes, we Chinese and Japanese can only fight to the death, and we can't disgrace the 6th Infantry Division."

I said everything I said in it, and I could hear that it was a company of Chinese descent in the 6th Infantry Division. Lin Xiuxuan suddenly felt that he might be able to steal a few military uniforms to move around on the island, but it didn't seem to be necessary, because they were about to withdraw.

"Listen to me, my younger brother is in the 14th Communication Company of the 987th Air Force, and they are more energetic there than here, he said in the letter, waiting for the good news of General Chu Tingchang every day. The Japanese there were convinced by the beating. ”

Unprepared, Lin Xiuxuan, who was hiding outside the door, heard the three words of Chu Tingchang, and it was inevitable that he had some mixed tastes. He is doing the business of stealing chickens and dogs here, and Chu Aiyun is already famous.

"I've also heard that it would be nice if General Chu Tingchang could come here to lead us."

"What do you know, General Chu Tingchang is a student of Jiang Weiguo, and now Jiang Weiguo is assisting MacArthur."

"I'm just worried about MacArthur, he will leave the soldiers and run away at the most critical moment, this person is unreliable."

Lin Xiuxuan left the gossip discussion, and under the instructions of the drone, looked for the explosion lead. He couldn't cut all the leads, he didn't have to, and he had to leave a few noises for the soldiers so he could go back on errands. He found a * near the mobile radar station, and dug a very standard anti-* mound nearby, apparently ready, tomorrow with a few twists of the detonator, and then press down, the battlefield here can be set on fire.

He followed the wire to find the * that connected to the berth and the nearby machinery, and together with Qin Xiaosu Qingshan, he dismantled the * in some locations and destroyed the wire. The two then exited the barracks and ambushed themselves on a nearby hill.

In the morning, there was a loud whistle in the barracks. All assembled. This time, Lin Xiuxuan carefully counted the number of people, a total of 55 people. Two black dots in the distance approached, and Lin Xiuxuan observed with a telescope that they were two * boats flying with American flags. The soldiers here are still checking the wires and *, but they are all in a hurry to leave, and they are very hasty.

* The boat arrived at the port, the soldiers quickly got on the boat, * the boat left the shore with the soldiers, and the platoon commander hid behind a mound in the distance and detonated the port with the * in his hand. Immediately, the harbor was engulfed in flames. The platoon commander emerged from behind the mound of dirt, did not check the results of the explosion, but quickly ran into the water, swam about 80 meters, climbed into the waiting boat, and drove south together.
