304 Areas of action coincide

"Bad news?" Shu Ping asked, he had already sensed the seriousness of the problem from Lu's face.

"It's bad." After Lu Qingshan finished speaking, he looked down with a telescope.

Shu Ping didn't ask much. Soon they could see about 10 Japanese soldiers coming out of the warehouse, pushing a pallet cart with a tightly wrapped object, which looked like the nuclear bomb from the outside, and at the end of the track was the Kyushu Maru freighter docked on the shore.

"I always felt that fate was playing tricks on us," Lu Qingshan said, "and I only stayed on the island for a short time before I ran into it." ”

"To blame fate is nothing more than not calculating the worst possible scenario."

Shu Ping's tone was as expected as everything was expected. In fact, when Cheng Dayang made a decision, he did not warn, but it did not prevent him from making a summary conclusion.

The Japanese pushed the nuclear bomb to the side of the Kyushu Maru, and then hoisted it with the ship's crane and placed it in the open cargo hold on the foredeck, which was specially modified to carry heavy artillery and ammunition, and of course, the open cargo hold also facilitated the signal from the tracker on the warhead.

Cheng Dayang received a communication from the island in the command cabin, and while the matter fell to the worst, it left some room for remedy. When Asano was talking about this nuclear bomb, fortunately Lu Qingshan was hiding on the side, so when he heard it, they didn't recognize the essence of what it was, but Masanobu Tsuji still mistakenly thought it was a valuable weapon and asked to bring it back to the mainland.

For 419, a new test has appeared in front of him, which is of course a far more serious problem than Cheng Dayang losing face in front of Lin Xiuxuan. If Asano is still on the Kyushu Maru, the best solution is, of course, to sink the ship, because after weighing the trade-off between dealing with a traverser and losing a warhead, the conclusion is not difficult to come by. But Asano took the plane and ran away, and now the situation has become more delicate, how to choose?

The tracker on the nuke comes into play, and 419 begins to measure his bearing.

After nightfall, the boatswain piloted a motorboat to bring the two men from the island back to the submarine. In a pessimistic atmosphere, the submarine set off towards Yangon Harbor, and they did not follow the Japanese cargo fleet to Mawlamyine, because it was judged that the nuclear bomb would be in the Kyushu Maru bottom bilge for a short time, and Mawlamyine, which was entrenched in tens of thousands of Japanese troops, had no chance of recapturing the nuclear bomb.

The submarine has been continuously communicating with the special team approaching Yangon, hoping to report the situation in advance and give Lin Xiuxuan a bottom, but it has never been able to establish contact.

At the same time, the group led by Lin Xiuxuan was following the refugees and the rout army of the brigade approaching the suburbs of Yangon, because there were many people, so they had not set up antennas for long-distance communication.

Yangon is the most important port in Myanmar and the starting point of the Yangman Railway, or the Yunnan-Burma Highway. The city was the only important stronghold of British rule in Burma, the other being Mandalay in central Burma.

Without knowing history, anyone (even the Chinese and Japanese) would be deceived by the active war propaganda of the British. After two defeats in a row, the British were even more determined to hold on to Rangoon, thanks to Churchill's tactics, in which he tricked the officers of the Chinese Expeditionary Force into Rangoon, showing the closeness of the allies; At the same time, it was decided to ship his "victorious division", the 7th Armored Brigade, from North Africa to sea.

The 7th Armoured Brigade was praised in the British-controlled radio newspapers as the only armoured unit in Asia, dwarfed by the maneuverability of the mule-horse Japanese army, and its firepower against an entire Japanese division. The BBC broadcast said that in the Battle of Tobruk two months ago, with its courageous style, it defeated the invincible Rommel, creating a miracle in military history, and those who are interested will find that the British propaganda department used the word "military miracle" too rashly, temporarily repelling a German army of 10,000 men with several times the force, and the losses are still above the other side, which cannot be called a miracle in any way.

In addition to a battalion of the 7th Armoured Brigade on the way, another exciting rumor was Churchill's intention to take over command of Burma with Lieutenant General Alexander. The lieutenant general has a legendary resume, and the first military miracle he created was the retreat from Dunkirk.

However, the illusion could not deceive Lin Xiuxuan, he knew that from the moment the British lost Mawlamyine, they were doomed to the fall of the entire south. Shojiro Iida's greatest fear before attacking Burma was the inability to obtain a deep-water port to offload its 2nd and 3rd divisions, and now that their goal had been achieved, the British had not even destroyed the port facilities before they fled. Unlike the high-profile propaganda carried out by the British in order to stabilize the morale of the army, the Japanese army's troop mobilization was completely inconspicuous. When the 6,000 people of the desert jerboa were far from reaching Yangon, the 25,000 men of the elite 33rd Division and the artillery of the division had already arrived at the port, and at the same time, there were more conspiracies under the guidance of the southern organs, which were carried out step by step, and some of the conspiracies were hidden so deep that they were not even presented in the historical records of later generations, so even Lin Xiuxuan did not know.

On the same day that Lin Xiuxuan followed the refugees into Yangon, a Japanese fleet of several cruisers suddenly flew off the coast of Yangon and briefly shelled the Salem Fort and the prison facilities on the peninsula. The Japanese fleet did not penetrate deep into the mouth of the Pak Seng River to attack the port of Yangon.

The damage from the shelling was negligible, as Salem was only a trading port and stronghold established by the first Portuguese in Burma hundreds of years ago, and was no longer an important military fortress, and the ancient forts and pillboxes on the peninsula were now only prisons for important prisoners. However, the appearance of the Japanese fleet meant that the Yunnan-Burma Highway had been cut off from its starting point.

In the entire Indian Ocean, no navy dared to challenge the Japanese fleet, and from this moment on, even the British troops in Burma could only detour to Rakhine in western Burma, because there was no railway in Rakhine, which greatly reduced the efficiency of material transfer.

Whether the Japanese Navy penetrates further into the Bay of Bengal and blockades Rakhine or even Chittagong depends only on the planning of the base camp, not on the ability.

Chu Aiyun hadn't sent a telegram for two days, which was not surprising, and he needed to be especially careful lately, because the military commander Yangon Station was constantly eyeing him. Lim's group settled at a monastery on the outskirts of Yangon and waited for contact from 419.

The British did not manage the refugees at all, but all the monasteries around Yangon set up refugee camps, which allowed the refugees to have a place to go for the time being. Of course, hundreds of thousands of refugees are not so simple.

On the first night after the special team arrived, it used surveillance equipment to sweep the surrounding area. It was soon discovered that there was at least one suspicious radio station hidden in the temple where they were located, and this radio station conducted very professional radio communication at night, and the communication used the Southern Organ A code, and each report was very brief, which made it difficult for the British army's electronic reconnaissance units to decipher the content or measure the location.

Xu Chong used night vision to reconnoiter the location of the radiation source, and found that among the fleeing crowd, there were several monks who frequently entered and exited the temple, and it was obvious that there were a large number of Japanese spies hidden among the refugees. It is an eternal tradition that Japanese spies always act before army divisions.

Lin Xiuxuan's reconnaissance is limited to ensuring his own safety, and he is powerless against the countless spies hiding in the crowd, who may sneak to the port to count the number of cannons, or shoulder some kind of sabotage mission, but it is only a real repetition of history. It is impossible to change the superiority of the Japanese army by intervening in the elimination of one or two secret service groups, and all he can do is to avoid the Japanese spies as much as possible.

The group received the 419 telegram during the night, which briefly informed the loss of a nuclear bomb and called for an emergency meeting, which was set for tomorrow night on the beach near Salem Kasbah, outside the port of Yangon. At that time, 419 will send a rubber boat to pick up the three of them.

Since the Japanese fleet was enforcing a blockade outside the harbor, it was very difficult to return to 419, because the group was sandwiched between the British batteries and the Japanese fleet, and there were many unforeseen situations along the coast, and the historical record was only a general record, and it would not tell you the infiltration of the Southern Agency on the coast on that day, or the location of the minefields along the coast.

The next day, after hiding their equipment in a mass grave outside the city, the three moved to the beach with radio and night vision equipment, and No. 419 did not have time to release a drone to reconnoiter the vicinity of the planned landing site. Now 419 has no time, so he calmly starts the mission, considering that the moon phase is the last quarter moon that night, and the moon enters the sea level at midnight, it should be pitch black, which is conducive to adventure.

Along the way, sporadic gunfire can be heard within a radius of several kilometers, and from time to time there are one or two explosions. The mountains of military supplies, barracks, and headquarters in Yangon harbor became the targets of spies, who constantly lit fires from outside the blockade line to guide Japanese planes and naval guns at sea. The British responded by sending Vickers armored vehicles along the beltway and firing at any moving figure without warning. In fact, the battle for Yangon has already begun, and there is no safe place in the city.

Of course, with the help of low-light night vision devices, the special team can still skillfully maneuver between the offensive and defensive sides, but relying only on night vision devices, they are no longer as comfortable as they used to be.

If there were a drone in the air at this moment to provide reconnaissance over a large area, it would have been discovered that the harassment of Yangon Harbor was still a feint aimed at luring the exhausted British defenders to the wrong area far from the coast.

The major action planned by the Yugoslav organs has not been recorded in the historical records, because this operation was originally only on paper. The plan was for the Southern Agency to send one of the most elite detachments of the Independence Army to make a small landing in Salen on a dark and windy night this month, with the aim of rescuing U Nu, the leader of the independence movement, who was imprisoned in the fort. Of course, after the Chinese and Japanese crossers interfered with history, they finally made the plan a real action.

The timing and area of its operations overlapped to a certain extent with the areas demarcated by the special team's evacuation operations.

When Lin Xiuxuan passed under the huge bunker on the cliff, he noticed that someone was climbing up the rope under the bunker, and the creeper cleverly hid in the blind corner of the British searchlight, which was obviously an agent operation.

He felt that the situation in the area was not good, and immediately sent a message asking for the operation to be stopped. But after calling twice and not responding, 419 should be in a submarine.
