The lieutenant had already disrupted Lin Xiuxuan's entire plan, and in retrospect, the easiest way was actually to shoot this lieutenant who was full of personal heroism in the back of the head from the hill before he was messing around. But now there is no way to remedy it, so I can only follow the lieutenant to fool around.

The first motorboat with the wounded and medicines left in time, and it would stick to the coastal situation and go around to the bay about 20 kilometers away to join the rest of the people, and the second motorboat was quickly loaded with gasoline drums and spare parts, but it seemed too late, the Japanese motorboat was already very close, and the bulky parts and fuel were still piled up on the dock. The lieutenant decided to do it brutally, and his men did not wait for the Japanese motorboat to approach, and opened fire on the Japanese motorboat shaking the flashlight, which immediately provoked a counterattack. Several motorboats were equipped with machine guns, which quickly suppressed the weak firepower of the American troops.

Lin Xiuxuan supported on the hill and knocked down one of the machine gunners with one shot, and he calculated that he would shoot the commander and about six machine gunners before about half a squadron of Japanese troops landed on the shore. The plan soon did not work, and the American motorboat, which was about to sneak away, was still swept away by the Japanese search flashlight. Immediately after that, a shuttle came over and hit the oil drums that the US troops had just loaded onto the motorboat.

A flame rose and illuminated the entire small military port. The gasoline flowing to the sea exhaled and then burned, forming a fire barrier, and the flames caused Lin's night vision devices to be interfered with, and he could not continue to support. He grabbed the intercom on the side.

"Tell your lieutenant that you must retreat immediately. There are many more enemies than you. The radio station stays on, and I'll come to you. "You can see the soldier with the radio on his back, right next to the lieutenant. quickly conveyed Lin's words.

The lieutenant received Lin's warning and quickly retreated with the remaining three people, one of whom was wounded and could not run, and the lieutenant personally carried this man and ran towards the mountain, with a tall paratrooper covering behind.

As soon as they left, artillery support from the Katsu arrived. The shells continued to shoot and knock down the forest behind the barracks, although it was inaccurate, but the momentum was indeed terrifying.

The minesweeper was enraged, and its original plan was to use the ship's 400 or so infantry to search and capture more than 20 islands in the Nusa Tenggara archipelago within a week, capturing three of the larger ones. Lin Xiuxuan judged that Luo Di Island was actually not in its eyes, and he was not ready to send troops to be stationed permanently, but under the current situation, it would be impossible not to occupy this place.

The Japanese motorboat rushed through the flames, quickly climbed ashore, and rushed into the barracks with a shout, of course, because their own artillery fire was firing, and did not dare to rush too far, which allowed the lieutenant to escape temporarily.

Lin decided to show up for a moment with the lieutenant and find a way to solve the matter in front of him. It seems that the Karutsu is the only ship that the Japanese Navy can provide for the Japanese Army to land, and if this ship is destroyed according to the lieutenant's plan, the Japanese Army may not be able to survive for a while, and once they start to land in Australia, they will have no time to care about it.

He is still hoping to keep the crane here, and if he misses, the next port option is the port on the southern tip of Tasmania, and the third port is far away in Antarctica, in which case everything will have to be laid out from scratch.

He left Qin Xiaosu to spy on the Japanese army, and he took a modified American walkie-talkie to find the lieutenant. After a while, Qin Xiaosu reported that he found that the Japanese had also brought their dogs ashore. He had to slip away too far to keep an eye on the Japanese troops. Lin Xiuxuan agreed to Qin Xiaosu's request, he was not such a professional scout, and even if he had a night vision device, he had to keep a long distance from the enemy.

The lieutenant's radio was indeed kept on, and they took the wounded with them, and ran not too far, and now ran to the empty native village, waiting for the army captain they had never met to answer. They lit a fire in the bamboo hut, presumably to treat the wounds of the wounded. The light of the fire leaked out from the airstrike of the airstorm on the air, and Lin could see it from 100 meters away without the help of night vision devices.

The sound of a dog barking in the distance startled both sides who were preparing for the joint, and Qin Xiaosu's retreat made Lin Xiuxuan lose his early warning ability. It seems that the Japanese did not wait for dawn to start the pursuit, and it is estimated that the disheveled corpses of the Japanese soldiers in the barracks ignited the hatred of the rest of the Japanese troops.

Through the night vision device, Lin saw several American soldiers, embarrassed to come out of the bamboo building, carrying the wounded and trying to run. Although the lieutenant acted recklessly, he was still commendable for not abandoning his subordinates.

The rear military dog sniffed all the way, running faster and faster, it was already sure that the target was not far ahead.

Behind the military dogs, five Japanese soldiers followed closely, and they maintained a formation of covering each other, waiting for the dogs to expose the enemy. Obviously, they are all veterans, and even if they run fast in the woods in the dark, the movement is much smaller than that of this group of American troops. Lin quickly moved closer to them, clutching * in his hand.

Seeing that the military dog was about to catch up with the American army, the dog was hidden in the grass and completely invisible. The American man in the back of the palace could not hold his breath, and he lifted Thompson*, barking in the direction of the dog, and in the firelight, the dog had already jumped up and bit his right wrist. He struggled to get rid of the dog, but it was easier said than done.

Lin threw a * from one side and landed in the middle of the Japanese in hot pursuit. Jungle warfare use*, is a good way to avoid premature exposure. * There was a bang that knocked out several Japanese soldiers. These Japanese only knew that they had not fired a single shot, so they were still in the shadows, but no one expected to see them through the night.

Lin quickly stepped across* and knocked down the Japanese soldiers who were still struggling. Gunshots rang out here, and the U.S. military recognized the sound of weapons and knew that it was their own people who had arrived. Lin ripped off the night vision device from his head and stuffed it into his satchel.

"Keep going, I'll cut it off." Lin shouted.

"Yes, sir." Someone shouted over there. Lin revealed on the radio that he was a captain, and that they were clearly supposed to obey his command.

The big man used brute force to smash the wolfhound to death on the rock, but he was also injured in the wrist and could not shoot, and now only Lin could cover them.

At daybreak, they retreated deep into the forest and threw off the enemy, and the area of Rodi Island was not small, and it was not easy to find them by a hundred or ten Japanese soldiers.

The morning light threw itself into the jungle, and the American sailors were a little surprised when they saw Lin Xiuxuan's Chinese face. The 6th Infantry Division does have a lot of Chinese, accounting for almost one-tenth, and some units are mostly composed of Chinese, but there are very few Chinese in combat units, let alone a captain company commander.

The lieutenant walked over and looked at Lin suspiciously for a while, and then saluted Lin. There was no strict reciprocity between the rank of the Navy and that of the Army, but he felt that he owed Lin a favor, and even so, it did not dispel the suspicions in the lieutenant's heart, at least in the Navy, it was unlikely that the Chinese would be a captain and an officer.

"Lieutenant Kennedy, *2nd Squadron of the boat."

"Samlin, 6th Infantry Division, Commander of the Communications Reconnaissance Company."

This company-level unit does exist, carrying out some covert infiltration of the Japanese-occupied islands for surveillance and communications missions, but it is not on this island.

After introducing each other, the group finally stopped and found a place to rest, the wounded man had been shot in the calf, and it was already a rough circle. Now the pace of their march in the woods, no more than a kilometer per hour.

"Captain, how long have you been on the island? I came to pick up the soldiers of the 6th Division a few times ago, and I haven't seen you? ”

"I only came last week. It is not the same unit as the change of forces. ”

"Which boat did you take to the island?" Lieutenant Kennedy intentionally or unintentionally probed Lin.

"We set out from the Solomon Islands, the Japanese fleet blocked the sea area, we were sent ashore by submarine, and I was ordered to establish a reconnaissance system on the island."

"How many men do you have?"

"My company has about 40 people, but on the other side of the island. Yesterday I happened to be on reconnaissance duty and bumped into your operation. ”

"You son of a bitch." The panting wounded on the ground suddenly came to his senses, "You Chinese guys are all cowards. We are fighting the Japanese, and you are hiding. ”

"Watch your words, Scott." The lieutenant stopped his men from speaking racist.

"Chinese are not cowards," said the big man of the 502nd Regiment on one side, "when I was in Burma, I fought side by side with Chief Chu's team, and it was a memorable time, and they were all good at killing the Japanese." ”

Lin Xiuxuan didn't expect that someone suddenly mentioned this name, but he was stunned.

"Captain, did you hear my plan yesterday? On the radio? Lieutenant Kennedy said.

"I heard it, and I think there was something wrong. It is better to climb over this mountain, join my company, and then consider it in the long run. ”

Of course, Lin Xiuxuan didn't have his own company, but he knew that the lieutenant was stubborn and would never follow him to find his company, but would definitely convince himself to act according to his plan. When he heard the name Kennedy, he confirmed it even more. Admittedly, however, Lieutenant Kennedy had a knack for convincing others to send him to his death for his flawed plans.

"No, we don't have time to join your company on the other side of the island, and you must help me repair my *boat, so that I can be sure that I can sink the enemy warship by my means. I think you're going to get a congressional medal. Believe me, at this time, Washington wishes that a Chinese American would get a medal to unite the nation. This is a rare time. "The lieutenant's persuasion was very provocative, and his political calculations were quite insightful.

"How? Will you help me fix the boat? ”

Lin Xiuxuan didn't answer, found a stone to sit down, lit a cigarette for himself, and seemed to be still fighting ideas.

"Listen, my plan is that we'll sneak into the Japanese camp again and get the parts." When the lieutenant pitched his plan, his men looked dead. Obviously, the plan simply didn't work.

"We can't sneak into the camp, the Japanese won't let you get away with it twice." Lin said.

"If we don't strike first, the Japanese will search the whole island and end up killing us all."

"I mean, your plan is a bit redundant. The fuel and parts you piled up on the dock, the Japanese have seen it, and they know that your * boat is broken," Lin suddenly sneered, and then cocked Erlang's legs, "These are enough, in our Chinese words, this is called suspicious soldiers." They've been tricked. ”

"Yes, I just like you Chinese," Sergeant Herbert of the 502nd Regiment suddenly became interested, "You look like this, a little like that person, he can use a turtle shell to guess everything about the enemy in advance, I think you will probably do the same." ”

Lin Xiuxuan is really tired of the sergeant's old mention.

"You're saying we're going to attack directly?" Kennedy asked.

"Yes, direct attack."

"No, my boat can only drive 15 knots, and as soon as it starts, it emits smoke and it will be seen from 20 nautical miles. If you make such a sortie, you will not be able to rely on 40 chains, and you will be torn apart by their artillery. ”

"You can go out at night."

"We can't see the target at night? The Japanese control the lights at night. And my ghost engine will be broken, and it will make a loud noise when it starts, and it will be found at night. ”

"If they're shelling, you'll be able to see it. And they won't hear your ghost engine anymore. ”
