Two M3 half-track personnel carriers were sweeping the Japanese fire points along the runway on the other side, and they were strafing the anti-aircraft positions along the runway to prevent the Japanese from firing the anti-aircraft guns, but the Japanese were defenseless, and the anti-aircraft artillery positions did not react at all.

The second half-track was equipped with a twin Sispano cannon, which was originally modified by the Americans for the British, and was brought in by Chu Tingchang to equip Tao Mingzhang's troops, which greatly strengthened his assault force.

The soldiers operating the cannon saw a Japanese transport plane trying to force a take-off and immediately launched blocking fire. The net of fire woven by two 20-mm cannons tore the transport plane taxiing at low speed from the front to pieces, and after the plane was destroyed, it crossed the middle of the runway and then began to burn. For a time, the 3-kilometer-long runway was cut into two sections by this aircraft. More vehicles appeared near the airport, blocking the runway with fire, and now no planes can slip away from here.

Qin Xiaosu observed the mess of the airport below through the drone, but it was already dark, and he couldn't lower the altitude too much, which made the simple optical equipment on this throwing type of small drone unable to see too clearly.

He reported to Lin Xiuxuan that he saw a lot of suspicious equipment on the enemy's airfield, and it was obvious that the enemy had put part of the test work here, and he suggested that he quickly capture this place, and grab some important equipment and documents before the enemy destroyed the data, so as to analyze the current progress of the Makino plan, as for whether Makino was here, he felt that he could catch some prisoners and see if he could pry his mouth open. He had already observed that there were a lot of people here in civilian clothes, but with blue naval combat caps, and these people were obviously valuable.

Lin Xiuxuan immediately adjusted his deployment and changed the priority task of this attack to catch a few live ports, followed by destroying the plane.

The battle was soon one-sided, and the airfield garrison was only a second-rate force, the product of a rapid expansion of the army after December 41. In addition to the 200 B divisions, the base camp also expanded the various road construction and airfield garrison units, which were weaker than the security brigades, and the equipment and personnel were very poor. In yesterday's battle to capture Dawei, the 201st Division had already captured a record number of more than seventy prisoners. Of course, this is also one of the reasons why Tao Mingzhang's troops can drive straight into the army at night. These troops could not withstand the first wave of Tao Mingzhang's six Stewart tanks and two hundred infantry. Lin Xiuxuan's second wave of people is about to arrive.

Makino knew that he would be doomed today, he ran to the east with a few retinues, and now he was in a very dangerous situation, the northern passage was not completely blocked, it was a shortcut to Bangkok, but a division of the 5th Army was rapidly rushing to Bangkok.

If you run south, you may not be able to outrun the southward speed of Tao Mingzhang's army. If he runs east, he may be able to escape to the shore of the Gulf of Siam, but he will have to call a warship or submarine to pick him up by radio, which will be a bit risky, because he knows that the enemy has been eavesdropping on the Japanese radio.

As he ran, he wondered how he could find the Navy without radio.

Qin Xiaosu decided to let go and lower the height of the drone, he had to take a little risk, because he saw that in the crowd, there was a guy carrying a suitcase, surrounded by a group of people, which looked particularly suspicious. He had never seen someone running away with a box during a sudden attack. Unless what's in this box is important. This piqued his interest, so he lowered the height of the drone. On the battlefield, both sides could look up and see this strange thing passing overhead, but no one noticed its presence at this moment.

Of course, he couldn't find Makino from the chaotic battlefield, he didn't have a photo of Makino, the only one who had seen Makino here was Lin Xiuxuan, Team Leader Lin once looked at Makino in the dark prisoner car during the operation in Shanghai, but unfortunately he couldn't sketch and couldn't draw Makino's appearance.

Qin Xiaosu suggested that Team Leader Lin quickly block the east passage of the airport, block the retreat road, and not let go of any Japanese in suits. Too reminded of Lin, one of them with a suitcase, and a group of followers behind him, seems to be a character worth capturing alive.

Lin Xiuxuan was coming with the second echelon, and he himself was on a half-track equipped with a radio, and there were two Greyhound wheeled reconnaissance vehicles on the side, which were also equipment provided to the British army by the United States through Lend-Lease, and were obtained by Chu Tingchang through Stilwell's personal connections to strengthen his weakly armored 201st Division.

Lin Xiuxuan ordered the troops to drive directly onto the runway through the radio, ignore the Japanese fire on both sides, drive to the end of the runway as fast as possible, and then turn around to establish a defensive line. In addition, he ordered all vehicles to fire on unarmed people in civilian clothes on a priority basis, which was also a strange order.

Makino found that a wheeled armored car quickly drove 40 meters next to him, and then the soldiers on the half-track that arrived fired at the Japanese technicians on both sides, killing several of his men, and the vehicle did not stop and went forward.

He realized that the attack was not to capture a base, they were trying to block the way and then the turtle in the urn. Did they find themselves? Ohnishi, he thought, wasn't stupid enough to mention his name on the radio.

In the dark, he sensed the problem and couldn't help but raise his head. A small light gray drone flew silently from about 200 meters in the air, then turned around and returned, and it actually circled over its head. This was the first time he had seen tangible evidence of the existence of the Chinese traverser after he established it.

"Sir, will you run from there?"

The research institute next to him, Daizumi, shouted and pointed to the side.

"Oh."

Makino agreed, dropped the suitcase in his hand, and ran to the edge of the runway with his assistants and students, apparently carrying the suitcase as a basis for drone tracking. When they ran through the improvised runway, a convoy of trucks outflanked from the side had already arrived, and the convoy stopped at intervals of about 300 meters, and the soldiers above quickly came down and blocked the way. The group could only squat in the grass to hide, but fortunately, the climate on the Malay Peninsula was warm and the grass grew very high.

The Chinese troops began to strafe the grass, and they also saw people hiding in the grass.

Makino and his entourage could only dodge while retreating, if they had experience, they could lie still on their stomachs, after all, the enemy's skirmish line was very sparse, and when they passed, they could slip through the net, but none of them had ever experienced a battle formation, and when they heard the gunshots, they thought they were discovered by the enemy and were driven to run.

In a panic, Makino ran off his shoes and got into the ditch, where he found a drainage pipe that happened to be drilled into it, so that he could avoid the drone's reconnaissance.

In the end, the three people who followed him, in addition to his deputy Kotaro Oizumi, and the student Utsunomiya Hirohanzo, a student of Imperial University, followed him here to test the radar. The other is researcher Shigetoku Machijiri, who is also his student, and specializes in navigation.

Makino realized that there were too many people around him to hide, and was about to let the students leave on their own, when he saw a half-track car speeding in the distance, and stopped about 60 meters in front of him, right in front of the suitcase that he had just thrown away. An officer in the car poked his head out and used a telescope to observe the battle not far away, and then he looked down and saw the box on the ground.

In the chaos of the battlefield, it may not be accidental to be able to find a suitcase, it may be the result of drone guidance. He remembered that in the morning, the entire base, only he carried a box, which contained the most valuable data.

The man got out of the side of the half-track, hid behind the vehicle to avoid distant shots, and began to look through the boxes, and soon the man turned over his booklet. Even though the bullets hit him from time to time, he still crouched there very intently and looked at it.

When he turned to the middle, the man jerked, then took a walkie from the car and started talking. Makino knew that his notes were full of charts and photographs, and ordinary intelligence officers couldn't understand the meaning of them after drawing them for a long time, unless they ...... That's the key person.

What Lin Xiuxuan saw was a stack of photos taken from the plane sandwiched in his notes, all of which belonged to the failure examples of the bomb dropping stage, some of which lost control when turning, and some of the bomb wings did not open and fell straight down.

He immediately realized that Qin Xiaosu judged that a very, very, very important target, was here just now, and someone dropped it. He began to examine the three corpses on the side, hoping to find out from their documents whether there was a person named Kensaku Makino. Of course, Makino may have changed his name. Of course, he didn't have a photo of Makino, but he had a relationship in Shanghai, and one of the three people in the prisoner car at that time was obviously of mixed race, and he looked different from ordinary Japanese. He had already confirmed that Asano and Hasegawa were not of mixed blood, so it was not difficult to find Makino.

Lin Xiuxuan was still looking at the dead bodies, and the squad leader of the car reminded him that the Japanese had set up grenadiers on the top of the building on the opposite side of the runway to aim here, and if the car stood still, it would be easy to be hit. He quickly packed his suitcase, rolled over into the car, and the car drove slowly along the side of the runway, but not far away.

Makino, who was hiding in the water pipe, knew that his disaster had arrived.

He had seen Lin Commanding the operation at close range, of course, he couldn't see it clearly at night, but the figure of the person in front of him was indeed very similar to the figure of the commander who intercepted the prisoner car that day, a person with a height of more than 180 centimeters, which was rare among Chinese soldiers in this era. Of course, he had also seen Lin Xiuxuan's portrait, but it was too far away to distinguish the face, but it didn't matter anymore.

Zoten once described the principle of perturbation as something akin to fatalism, in which the fates of those involved in the perturbation would be intertwined, and according to this mystical theory, sooner or later he and the Chinese time-traveler would meet face-to-face, as Asano or Hasegawa had experienced.

"Am I finished?"

He muttered to himself in anxiety.

"Sensei......" Utsunomiya turned his head, "I'll find a way to distract them." ”

"What can you do?"

"Teacher, I'm going to surrender to them......" he said, pulling out a * from his pocket, "Japan can do without me, but it can't do without you." ”

"This ......"

Utsunomiya said as he put the * in his hand, then took off his shoes and solemnly put them in front of Makino.

"Teacher, I'm drawing the enemy's attention, you must try to escape."
