719 Radio Communication
410 kept listening to calls between the Japanese tower and the fighters, and it seemed that several more army fighters had taken off and continued to pursue the boat. Yesterday I heard a report from naval planes that the Japanese airfield had been completely destroyed, and the pilots judged that it would be impossible to restore it within a few days. It was only a long time before the Japanese took off several planes in a row, and Cheng Dayang pinned his hopes on this boat to slip away in the vast sea, so as not to invite the Japanese; Either...... was simply caught up and sunk by the Japanese.
He could only suspend Shu Ping's work here and prepare to dive. It is estimated that in another hour or two, the * boat will arrive. He asked Lin Xiuxuan's opinion, and Lin Xiuxuan decided to stay on the island to monitor, he felt that it was a pity to give up this temporary base, and maybe it could be remedied. Cheng Dayang felt that it might be useful for them to stay and work harder, in case the U.S. troops on this * boat felt that it was okay to be idle, and decided to make up for another blast, it was best for someone to stop it. Wearing the uniforms of the 6th Infantry Division, they can fish in troubled waters. Of course, Cheng Dayang has no hope that he can keep the port here and hide under the noses of both sides to crack it*, this time the Japanese seem to be angered by the US military, in addition to constantly dispatching planes, they are also coordinating the transfer of warships by the navy. Of course, the Japanese Navy did not have much strength near the archipelago, and it seems that there were only a few shallow gunboats and a large minelayer.
The sailors of 419 quickly returned to the submarine, Shu Ping reset the upper access to the *, and then instructed the crane to put the * down, and then covered the hatch, and the submarine began to dive.
At the same time, the radar detected that the second group of Japanese planes began to chase the *boat, and seemed to be ready to entangle to the end. Judging from the radio communications of the two sides, this wounded * boat actually shot down a Japanese army fighter, and its combat effectiveness is simply incredible.
After 419 left the berth, he dived quickly, Lin Xiuxuan and Qin Xiaosu stayed on the island, they monitored the sea with binoculars, and saw a black smoke coming out of the sea level from a distance, and the * boat looked not lightly injured.
* The boat maintained a speed of 15 knots and came here, not even oblivious to the fact that the Japanese planes were still following overhead. However, instead of going straight to the port, the boat turned to the northern harbor, and seemed familiar.
As it approached the coast, Lin could see that the fire on the boat was extinguished, but the draft was deep and one side was sloping. There were also several wounded lying on the deck.
This is Lin Xiuxuan's finally taking a closer look at this US military * boat (he didn't pay much attention to these small boats before), and he now believes that this small boat, armed like a hedgehog, has the ability to shoot down Japanese army fighters.
In fact, the Hayabusa early fighter was only equipped with two 7.7mm machine guns, and it should be even more terrifying to see such a big guy.
The ship had two twin 12.7 mm machine guns. They are located in the backward and starboard forward positions, and there is no dead angle for the air. On the foredeck was a 37-mm gun, and to the left of this gun, a 20-mm gun. On either side of the boat were four of them in pairs*, stern, and a 40-mm Bofors gun. Ships of a mere few tens of tons were piled up with a large amount of automatic firepower, which appeared to be overarmed.
Overhead, the Japanese plane dived down and tried to hit the *detonator* boat, but was countered by full anti-aircraft fire, and the Hayabusa was hit, pulling up green smoke and fleeing towards the island of Timor-Leste. Lin hoped it wouldn't make it there and fall into the sea, but apparently the communication had been sent back.
* The boat entered the harbor and hid under the mangrove forest of the inland river, so that it could avoid the Japanese aerial reconnaissance. Now they should be faced with the same repair task as 419, and they can roughly guess the next move.
Lin Xiuxuan saw about 10 crew members disembark with weapons and knapsack radios and head towards the harbor, while the rest were left to fill in the gaps. Apparently they knew where to find supplies and parts.
Qin Xiaosu listened to the nearby communications, and could hear a shortwave radio station with little power on the boat constantly sending messages in simple secret words, calling his superiors. He estimated that it would be enough to call the neighboring islands during the day, let alone Australia, and only at night when the ionosphere became weaker could the communication distance be farther, and of course it depended on luck.
Lin secretly followed the group towards the port area, and could be heard talking about the plan with the people left behind in the * boat from the walkie-talkie, and the first step was to find food and medicine, and someone on board was seriously injured. Then it's about finding fuel and parts. The lieutenant who led the team said: If the Japanese troops go to the island, they must buy time for repairs and try to lead the Japanese in the wrong direction. He wasn't sure if there were any Army personnel on the island, and if they were, he had to get in touch with them.
419 cruised in the Northern Strait, using drones to monitor the direction, and found that the Japanese Navy really couldn't dispatch destroyers, and actually dispatched a large 4,000-ton minelayer to hunt down this * boat of up to 50 tons. It's a bit like a cannon hitting mosquitoes.
In fact, although the Katsu laying ship has 4 127 mm main guns, its speed is less than 20 knots, and it was originally unable to catch up with the 40-knots * boat, but the Japanese probably knew that this * boat was broken, and they may also want to use this big ship to carry infantry, while searching for the US * boat, while occupying Rhodi Island. At present, this big ship is indeed enough to deter the entire Nusa Tenggara archipelago during the day.
Cheng Dayang sent a report to Lin Xiuxuan that if the situation was irreversible, it would be better to give up this island, and he would pat the boatswain to pick them up, and the matter could be discussed in the long run. However, Lin Xiuxuan felt that the opportunity was rare, and it was best to work harder, maybe this group of Americans would leave after repairing the * boat, and the Japanese minelaying ships might not have infantry on them. His opportunity still exists in theory, and he doesn't want to give it up.
The U.S. troops who came ashore apparently did not realize their efforts on the island, and the Japanese warships had already crossed the sea, probably thinking that they had escaped the Japanese tracking and could have a safe time. After nightfall, they actually lit a fire in the house, probably thinking that Japanese planes would not go out at night.
The lieutenant found the fuel he wanted from the warehouses in the Army, as well as some abandoned *. He probably was idle and ordered his men to install * on the berths, presumably on some kind of responsible role, fearing that the Japanese would use these facilities to go ashore. Seeing that the last crane in Nanyang that was not controlled by the Japanese was about to be destroyed, it was difficult for 419 to find a suitable place from then on.
Lin must stop this from happening immediately. He heard on the radio that the lieutenant was directing his own men to install*, asking for 1 minute to wait for him to order the detonation. The detonating wire was dragged into the room, and he couldn't snipe from the mountain, kill the person who started the detonation*, and of course he couldn't rush down the mountain to confront 10 heavily armed American troops, if Lu Qingshan or Ma Qiang were around, there would be more options. In a hurry, he picked up the intercom and called the group of American soldiers directly on the radio.
"You guys, who told you to blow up the Army's assets." Lin speaks good English with some southern accents. Most of the Chinese soldiers in the 6th Division are from San Francisco, and it is true that the accent is also in line with the characteristics. Of course, he couldn't simulate the Taishan accent of Cantonese immigrants, but he didn't think the whites could hear it.
The radio station was stunned for a while, they were waiting for the commander's order, and suddenly someone in the channel scolded the mother, and there was indeed reason to feel frightened. After a few moments, a pretended calm voice began to speak.
"This is the 2nd Squadron of the *boat, please report your identity."
"Lieutenant, is this your own person?" Another nervous voice appeared within the same channel.
"I saw you bastards in the mountains enter our warehouse, steal our supplies, and blow up our port."
"You're from the 6th Division? But the other day the 6th Squadron had already picked you all up," said the lieutenant, "and these * were sent ashore by us, and I remember that the order of the Army was: to blow up all Dutch port facilities. Including one, of course. ”
"We got new orders, regained control of the island, and set up a listening post, haven't you heard?"
"I haven't been officially ordered that you can't talk to me on the radio about this classified content, the Japanese may eavesdrop, you have to show up immediately." The lieutenant was obviously quite confidential, and he looked around the window while talking to Lin, and he knew that this person must be in view. But the black light blinded the fire and saw nothing, and the fog was rising, so I couldn't see anything.
"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, you have exposed your whereabouts, I can see from the vantage point that the Japanese warships are approaching, and in a few minutes they will start shelling. You need to be ready to evacuate immediately. ”
Of course, Lin Xiuxuan knew that the Japanese were going to shell, and of course the strait was foggy, even if he was standing high and had night vision devices, he couldn't see it, it was seen by the drone.
"You mean, leave the port to the Japanese?"
"Yes."
Lin's answer didn't seem to make sense, and the other party didn't answer anymore, and in any case, the blasting work was finally stopped. said that it was too late, and the whistling cannonballs fell into the port, and Lin Xiuxuan's prophecy came true. After the Japanese shelling interrupted the radio monster's appearance, the lieutenant pondered all sorts of strange things.
The Karutsu began shelling the harbor without any reconnaissance, presumably just blind fire preparation before landing. Lin Xiuxuan watched the fireball rise in the port, for fear that the artillery fire would detonate*, although these * mixed with passivating agent are not so easy to detonate, but this group of laymen are piled up outside the port*, enough to destroy the berth ten times repeatedly.
The U.S. troops in the barracks were frightened by the Japanese artillery bombardment, and hurriedly fled to the nearby mountains, but due to the fog, Lin Xiuxuan couldn't find their whereabouts for the time being.
The Japanese artillery fire stopped, and he let Qin Xiaosu stay where he was, and he ventured down the mountain to demolish it*.
The reason for the cessation of Japanese artillery fire was probably that they were about to start a landing, or it could be an interval in the second round of artillery fire.
The dense fog obscured his vision, and the opportunity was difficult to grasp, but he was very worried that the second round of Japanese artillery fire could detonate*, and this hidden danger must be removed.
He groped his way into the harbor and quickly found *. These* and wires, cut them, and push them off the trestle into the sea. Hear the sound of a motor in the distance, and an airboat approaching through the fog. Then there were the shouts of the Japanese. However, it sounded like there were not many people coming, so Lin immediately retreated, hoping that the Japanese army would only come up to reconnoiter temporarily, and if they found that there was no trace of American troops, they would retreat.
