Lieutenant Kennedy began to think about this guy's plan, and he was a little hesitant, he was very good at encouraging others to act according to his plan, but he was not suitable for others to modify his plan.

"Captain, I'm curious, how can you get them to fire?"

"I took my men and carried out an assault on the camp. Their response at night was to call for artillery fire to counterattack. ”

"With your 40 people? You don't have to take such limits. ”

"I have my own way. Are you sure to sink them at multiple distances? ”

"At least two hits*, I need to drive the boat to within 10 chains, I need to clearly see the outline of the boat, and its speed."

"You can rest assured that the enemy ship will not move when shelling land targets, and I guarantee you can clearly see its outline."

"It's best to get to the 5th chain, and if you get closer, the enemy will see us through the moonlight."

"There may not be moonlight tonight."

"How do you know? The moon was very big last night. "The lieutenant was a little unconvinced.

"Meteorological reconnaissance was one of our missions, we took over the Dutch at the weather station, and since the day before yesterday, the measured pressure has continued to increase, and clouds are expected to fall, and perhaps rain."

"So sure?"

"I looked at the weather data of the Dutch from 1899 to the present, and at the end of December, the probability of rain was 50 percent, and it didn't rain yesterday, and it will probably rain tonight."

Of course, Lin is not talking nonsense, there is indeed a Dutch meteorological observatory here, but his meteorological information is not obtained there, he is very sure, there will be low-altitude clouds tonight, which can probably bring the lieutenant's * boat closer by 200 meters.

"If you can get close to the limit, I can guarantee that it will sink, but your men will soon be engulfed in artillery fire."

"That's the specialty of our army, and I can assure you that they will continue shelling for 30 minutes."

"Well, I partially agree with your plan, I will return to the * boat now, you go to your men, tonight I will take the boat to the cape to hide, where it is about 4 nautical miles from the enemy, as soon as they start shelling, I will go into action, I hope they will not suddenly stop and expose me and my brother to a dangerous distance."

"Keep the radio on, I'll contact you?"

"One more thing." The lieutenant said solemnly.

"Please."

"I have some wounded people who have to stay on shore, and if I have an accident, you have to make sure to bring them back to the United States."

"I promise." Lin said solemnly, thinking to himself, how can I bring people to the United States?

The lieutenant saluted Lin and shook his hand. Then after they agreed on a few communication channels, Lin Xiuxuan left them to find his own people, he did have a boatswain team led by a boatswain that could be mobilized, he needed these people to land on the island, as members of the backup plan, of course, if Qin Xiaosu's electronic deception was effective, he might not need these people.

The lieutenant and his men set up an improvised stretcher with branches and uniforms to carry the wounded away. Subsequently, the lieutenant would contact Lin by radio every hour to ensure smooth communication. His experience had taught him that radios were not always useful, especially in the mountainous area of Lodi Island, where shortwave radios were always ineffective. But he didn't know that there was a relay source overhead to ensure smooth communication.

Lin Xiuxuan quickly joined Qin Xiaosu and explained the plan. Then go to the beach and wait for a group of more than a dozen people to land.

Over there, Lieutenant Kennedy carried the wounded and crossed the mountains in a general direction, and the Japanese search was unfolding several kilometers away, but fortunately the only military dog had been killed, and now they were wandering around the jungle like a needle in a haystack, and found no shallow bay where the boats were hidden.

In the afternoon, the lieutenant came to the lagoon and found his own boat. Leaks in the hull have been repaired, and water has been pumped and drained by manpower, but fuel is still insufficient. The captured Japanese motorboat could not pump out a few liters of gasoline, plus some remaining fuel, so it went out in such a hurry, optimistically estimating that it could travel dozens of kilometers, and even if the sneak attack was successful, it would be very difficult to return. But the lieutenant could not have abandoned the plan, not because he believed that Captain Lin was like a god, but because he was keen on taking risks. To be able to take out a 4,000-ton ship is a huge temptation.

He left the wounded and waited for the tide to rise, and for the time being, his dozen people could not push the stranded * boat into the sea. Relying on Lieutenant Mimura's incorruptible tongue, his people eventually opposed this plan.

Lin Xiuxuan and Qin Xiaosu waited for the members of the boat team, and at the same time waited for the news that the Japanese army would land on Darwin in the early morning. The main force was the 2nd Marine Mobile Brigade, which was covered by the 73rd Independent Flying Squadron. It seems that the second battlefield in Australia is about to start, and judging from the overstretched strength of the Japanese army, once it starts there, there is a high probability that it will not support here. It made him feel that everything he was doing on this small island so far was worth it.

Lin led his men and horses and marched quickly through the jungle to the vicinity of the enemy's barracks; During the march, he made his last communication with the lieutenant by radio. The lieutenant knew that the army was in action, and after starting the engine, the atomizer was damaged, causing a huge black smoke, which can now be hidden in the night, but the loud noise cannot be hidden, if the sea is quiet, it can be heard from a few kilometers away, and can only wait for the cannon to sound over there.

According to the lieutenant's plan, if the moon was not blocked by the clouds predicted by Captain Lin, he would turn off the engine at a distance of 1.5 nautical miles from the target, so that he could advance to the vicinity of the target through the inertia of the dinghy without being heard by the enemy during the interval between the shelling, which of course also meant that the dinghy lost its ability to maneuver after the attack. PT109 cruises along the coastline and hides behind the Cape Reef.

Here Lin Xiuxuan has already taken his people to the edge of the barracks, about half of the troops are searching on the island, and they have not come back yet, the Japanese who stayed here are already in full battle, and no one will be stupid enough to let people sneak attack twice in a row.

Now Lin only needs to kill the commander with a long-range sniper, and then Qin Xiaosu can command the enemy warship to launch an artillery bombardment, and the coordinates are, of course, the location of the Japanese ambush. The lieutenant had been worried that something was wrong with him, but Lin's ability was not something that Lieutenant Kennedy could have predicted.

When the time was almost up, Lin was about to make an action, and received a communication from the submarine that the Allied forces near Darwin had sensed the Japanese attack and were about to send bombers to attack the airfields and ports of the islands near Timor-Leste in order to prevent the landing. This is a minor accident that will inevitably add to the chaos around the Strait, and hopefully they won't come here to cause trouble.

Lin Xiuxuan raised his head, a round of moonlight was still on his head, and it seemed that the moonless night he had promised the lieutenant had not been fulfilled. However, this did not prevent the plan from proceeding. With his weapons in his hand, he slowly approached the enemy, using a thermal imager to observe the enemy from a distance of 200 meters, and they were in full position. A fan-shaped defensive formation was deployed, and any frontal attack would be torn to shreds by machine guns.

He searched slowly, looking for the junior officers with sabers. Usually the officer will be accompanied by a communication soldier with a knapsack radio, and Qin Xiaosu can quickly find the location of the radio station that is communicating.

Sure enough, Qin Xiaosu pointed out the direction to him in time, and he used the low-light night vision device to find the person who was talking. The man hid behind a machine gun and appeared cautious.

As he took aim, he felt a chill on his face and it started to rain, which was a good sign. The bullet is ejected from the chamber and accurately hits the target in the chest. These old devils who have fought on the battlefield in China for several years can always find a safe place for themselves on the battlefield, but Lin Xiuxuan doesn't eat this.

Lu Dacheng, who was lurking on the side, fired a red signal flare into the sky as agreed, which was to give instructions to the warships not far away. Next, it's up to Qin Xiaosu.

Qin Xiaosu immediately informed the army on the warship of the instructions that the enemy was found attacking at the company level and needed artillery support, and then the army conveyed the coordinates to the gunners on the ship.

Of course, the Japanese signal soldier here was also desperately shouting, but his voice could not be transmitted to the ship.

The gunners on the Kamatsu waited for a chance to open fire, and they quickly adjusted their guns and then fired. The shells whistled and fell on the traps carefully laid by the Japanese. In the direction of the possible attack of the Allies, the Japanese laid out improvised fortifications stacked with sandbags, which, of course, could only cover the fire and fragments in the direction of the attack, and the rear was open. The shells fell behind the fan-shaped defenses established on the outskirts of the barracks, and exploded almost in the unprotected crowd, literally extending the radius of destruction to the theoretical value.

The second round of shells fell on the warehouses and barracks, and these improvised barracks were instantly pierced through the roofs, and the shells exploded inside, almost all of which encompassed the machine gun crews hidden inside.

Artillery rang out in the distance, and the lieutenant, who was hiding on the edge of the cape, gave the order, and the two cars drove at full speed towards the target.

The rain here is coming, and it was a bright moonlight just now, but now the low-altitude clouds have completely blocked the moonlight. It seems that God is on the side of justice. Later, the lieutenant remembered that the sergeant of the 502nd regiment had said that the Chinese were able to anticipate everything with turtle shells. These soldiers from rural Kentucky are willing to believe this nonsense.

The lieutenant stood on the open-air podium, and in front of him was the instrument slowly turning to the limit. In the end, the speedometer stopped at 16 knots. The enemy warships in front were still firing fiercely, and with each shot, their silhouettes were revealed, and the lieutenant couldn't help but start worrying about what kind of losses the army company that was feinting on the island and attracting artillery fire would suffer. At this time, Qin Xiaosu was calling the Japanese warship and telling it that the enemy's attack had been strengthened to the battalion level and needed uninterrupted firepower. The coordinates are strictly limited to avoid injuring the harbour crane.

Judging the distance by a simple visual inspection, the lieutenant made a circle around the sea and approached the side of the enemy ship in an azimuth close to 90 °. Then the order was given to turn off the engine, relying on inertia to approach the last distance. The sailors set the depth and waited for the final blow.

At the lieutenant's command, all four *departed* from the boat and rushed to the target at a very small angle. The enemy was defenseless, and their attention was all on the island.

Three explosions in a row announced that the 4,000-ton minesweeper would sink in a very short time. Then there were the fourth and fifth explosions, presumably the * of the Japanese ship loaded with a martyrdom. The flames that rushed into the sky showed that the ship was torn to shreds, and it was simply impossible to leave a few alive wounds.
