Lin Xiuxuan felt that 419 should immediately return to the coast of the East China Sea, because he had not found the whereabouts of Makino, so that the biggest scourge would always exist, but if he analyzed the most likely place, and probably near Kasugamaru. Even if a person is not on a salvage ship, he may be hiding on an island in the Ryukyus. Because every salvaged item needs to be judged by him for the first time whether it has value or not, or what industrial sector should imitate, which is difficult for people in this era to complete.
And the task of eliminating Asano seems to be handed over to Chu Tingchang and Xu Chong to figure out a way, if Asano is dizzy and exposed to a position closer to the battlefield, maybe he can borrow Wingate's task force or special air service regiment to eliminate him.
In addition to the main course of action, the trio also had a number of technical discussions, which took place while most of the crew of 419 was on leave.
The discussion included the circumstances under which Kasugamaru needed to be destroyed, and the means necessary to destroy it, and it seemed that there was no other solution than to send a nuclear bomb down with a submersible. And the load of a remotely operated vehicle is not enough to carry such a heavy item. Even if the diver goes down, it will not be able to move. Of course, the consequence of this is obviously that 419 will never return to modern times.
In addition, the trio discussed the technical feasibility of attacking the fleet using ballistic* satellites, which can only be used within a known coordinate system due to the absence of satellite navigation, provided that they find their position. Significant seabed topography, which can usually only be obtained by topographic mapping, or near continents or islands that can be clearly detected by navigation radar, is not conducive to timely launches. And the time sensitivity of the fleet target is another problem, although the warhead yield is extremely large, it is still impossible to destroy a fleet on the ocean with a front and rear formation stretched out for hundreds of kilometers, and it can only be effective at the moment of their massive build-up. Moreover, the lethal effect decreases rapidly as the distance from the center of the explosion increases. In time for the attack on the enemy transport ship carrying the first temptation north of the Philippines, not every one of them sank immediately. One of them even held out until the rescue ship approached. Against the Grand Fleet, the theoretical power and actual lethality of nuclear bombs need to be more carefully assessed.
Of course, it is too early to talk about attacking the fleet with nuclear weapons. However, in case the purpose of the traverser is achieved, this is the last and only option.
*'s repair work has been ongoing, but progress has been limited and it is still not possible to get past the locked fire control system and take over these weapons directly. Although Shuping found a way to directly dismantle the nuclear bomb to bypass the restrictions, there are many restrictions on its use.
419 is still on vacation. In addition to curbing the looting incidents that occur from time to time in the troops, he also has to conspire with Zhou Youfu how to investigate the hidden members of the Three Youth League among the student soldiers who arrived from China, although this youth organization is different from the spy organization, but the political commissar warned Chu Tingchang to be careful of these members, because there are a large number of former members of the Renaissance Society. During this time, the drone could not help Chu Tingchang to scout for special radio signals, but it was generally certain that his troops were hiding the source of secret telegrams. Of course, it is unlikely that the radio was hidden, but it is very likely that the radio stations of various units were used to secretly send out messages, and the content of the messages could not be cracked.
The radio stations of the 200th Division are much more than those of a group army in China, so there is no technical support, and it is extremely difficult to investigate. This matter can only be handed over to Zhou Youfu to do, because he is the most loyal person to Chu Tingchang, although Chu Tingchang also knows that in the long run, Zhou Youfu is not a fellow traveler at all, this person has a reactionary Taoist background, and it is difficult to reform his backward thinking.
Of course, let Zhou Youfu do these things, the other intention is that he is idle to participate in robbery activities, and at present, he must win over his subordinates, so he can't be too strict in purging military discipline, so he can only send some tasks to Zhou Youfu, so as not to mess around. Once he spreads his hands and does those who are deceived and deceived, he is definitely more disproportionate than others.
As for the new candidate for military commander, he has already obtained some information through various channels, and at present, Stilwell and Chongqing are arguing, and the Du Yuming first proposed by Chiang was explicitly denied by the US side, which is tantamount to helping him a lot.
The old foundation of this 200th Division is actually an armored battalion directly under the 5th Army, not a real 200th Division, so Du Yuming is more troublesome than Dai Anlan, and he can snatch the military power almost immediately.
He also inquired about the other candidates, and Tang Enbo was boiling with resentment in Henan, and he couldn't stay anymore, so he might come. But the American side does not like such figures; Gui Yongqing, who has been idle since the Battle of Lanfeng, has been idle and has been an empty military attache in Germany for several years, and is also a candidate, and the US side is noncommittal at present. The last one is Zheng Dongguo, who is currently at the bottom of the list, but if you look at it historically, it is very likely, because this is a figure that the United States may accept - a professional soldier who is far away from politics. For Chu Tingchang, this kind of general with actual combat ability is more difficult to overhead than the Gui Yongqing tributary. So he had to think of a perfect plan, and the worst plan was to kill him, but if it wasn't for wartime, it would be easy to set himself on fire, because it was easy to think about who would benefit the most.
Chittagong, the headquarters of the advance force of the 200th Division, Xu Chong made a truck for 3 days, and rushed to report to Tao Mingzhang, in order to make a good impression on the boss, he also brought a meeting gift. It was he who had fought with the Japanese snipers and captured the Japanese camouflage suit and*, which he found useful that day, so he returned to the battlefield and took the object from the enemy's corpse with him. He was really thoughtful, and there was a physical object that was always more convincing and more hidden than what he drew on his drawings.
He judged that this dress should be designed by the Japanese time-travelers, in addition to the tactical thinking beyond the times, there are also some unreasonable places, which shows that the people involved in the design know the basic needs of jungle warfare and the required equipment, but the overall level is still at a general level, like ordinary enthusiasts.
He put this thing on the table, Tao Mingzhang glanced at it from a distance, then turned around, obviously disapproving of this thing, he had been fighting with Chu Tingchang for a long time, and he attached great importance to artillery and reconnaissance, and he also had some experience in tank camouflage, but he didn't pay much attention to the equipment used by these individual soldiers. He felt that the grass on his head could be well concealed in the air, so why bother to make a mess all over his body.
"Corporal, I know you're in a hurry to behave, it's good. But this thing you brought, I don't think it has much effect, if it is useful, how can it be that he was killed, not you? ”
Tao Mingzhang almost sophistry expressed his disdain for the rag-covered camouflage suit.
"That's his hand, and *not disguised, exposing him."
Xu Chong said and handed the sniper rifle with a scope on his shoulder to Tao Mingzhang. Tao Mingzhang took it and held it up perfunctorily to look at it.
"How did you put a battle defense gun scope on it? Did it work? ”
"Of course, if it's a one-on-one confrontation, obviously the one with this thing will have the upper hand over the one with ordinary sights. It is difficult for ordinary rifles to hit targets at a distance of 200 meters, but this one is different. ”
"I heard that you used the Americans* that day, and you still killed him?"
Xu Chong was not able to speak, and was speechless for a while.
"Since you are recommended by the division, I will naturally let you go to reconnoiter the company and lead the soldiers, but if you want to form a joint reconnaissance battalion with Slim's men, you can't let the British see the jokes. It is said that you are also a veteran who has retired from northern Burma, so you naturally know that modern warfare is fought by aircraft and artillery, and a mirror is installed on a rifle? Tao Mingzhang swept the gun, "It's a little whimsical." ”
"Sniper tactics, which have existed in all countries as early as World War I, have a great effect on suppressing infantry, and are by no means whimsical."
"Oh, you still know about the First World War? How many years have you been reading? ”
"I studied in middle school for two years and didn't graduate," Xu Chong said, the background of this character was decided on 419, and of course he couldn't show off that he had completed his undergraduate studies in military school in front of Tao Mingzhang, a college graduate.
"Orion people can go to middle school, there are not many in my Republic of China, my department has no prejudice, I, the regiment commander, was also a tax police lieutenant and deputy at the beginning, in fact, Master Chu is also a lieutenant who is engaged in translation," he turned to the map with his hands behind his back, "However, we must not give up studying and give up on ourselves, just like some regiment commanders in my division." Come, roll up your sleeves and let me see. ”
Xu Chong didn't know what to mean, and rolled up his sleeves.
"Okay, it's good to have no tattoos. I know that there are many gangs in your Yungui soldiers, and I hate those Taoist elements who are doing some nonsense down there. ”
"Report," shouted the guards outside, "Colonel Wingate is here." ”
"Yes, please." Tao Mingzhang turned to Xu Chong, "The reconnaissance company commander has just died, he is good, now you go to fill his vacancy, remember that it is only a temporary position and rank, in the future, if you want to be a full-fledged army captain, you still have to complete the studies." He patted Xu Chong on the shoulder as he spoke.
"Yes."
Xu Chong turned around, faced the bearded Wingate with a Penny hat, and left without saying anything.
"Tao, I thought I would never see you again when I said goodbye to northern Myanmar." Wingate walked over and shook Tao Mingzhang's hand.
"Now if we want to re-attack northern Myanmar, you and I will naturally work together."
Wingate didn't reply, his attention drawn to the camouflage suit on the table.
"Oh my God, this is the newly issued camouflage suit of the Japanese? My people have had enough of it, and they haven't gotten the real thing. He grabbed it in his hand and looked at it carefully.
"Oh yes, my men just seized it. I think the Japanese are a little confused and use the things worn by a beggar to fight. ”
"No, no, no, this thing is useful, my people say it's made of leaves, and it obviously doesn't."
He said that it was quite troublesome to put the camouflage suit on his body.
"Oh, it works?"
"Let's go outside in the woods."
Wingate was an impatient, and immediately pulled Tao Mingzhang outside to a bush, he tried to put on this dress and hide, and then shouted for Tao Mingzhang to come to him in the distance. Tao Mingzhang was a little absent-minded, and when he heard Wingate shouting, he walked in the direction of the sound, but he couldn't find anyone.
"I'm here."
Wingate stood up ten meters away from Tao Mingzhang's standing position, which really startled Tao Mingzhang, and his first feeling was that a tree came to life.
"How did your men win against this Japanese soldier?"
"He said that the hand and * were not well disguised and leaked flaws."
"Well, I'm a connoisseur."
