831 Killed Machijiri
The guy knew what was going on, so he stumbled open the door of the hut and came in to check. Because Wright had instructed him to keep an eye on the contents of the house at all times, and not to let the living come near. The beating just now, although it was not strange, did make him not notice it for a moment, and it was always right to go in and check it.
There was nothing wrong inside, the windows were hidden, and the sticks on the windows were the same as they were 5 minutes ago. Even the folds on the blanket don't make a difference.
He walked in with his face covered, and there was a bottle of bone-setting wine on the radio, which he had to use to rub the red and swollen skin wounds. This bottle of wine can be hidden, and those natives who regard wine as poison may stab themselves to death with a knife, whether they take it internally or externally, this kind of thing has not happened.
Just ten seconds before he came in, Ma Qiang slipped through the window smoothly, and now he had to wait until the drone approached to send the message. All those book editions have to be told to Qin Xiaosu, and then he will forward them to Xiong Xianghui, and then Xiong Xianghui will forward them to Hu Yuexin, and then what will happen, he doesn't know. In short, there will definitely be a way over there, and I believe that there will be results soon.
At dawn, the Japanese break up with Wright's group of five, and Wright is about to go to the meeting place, while the Japanese may split into two parts, one to search and the other to follow Wright.
It seems to be somewhat difficult to seize the military leadership of the CPM guerrillas in the north with these few people alone. Wright must have other bad tricks.
Sure enough, Qin Xiaosu soon overheard that Wright's radio station began to call several military commanders, he inquired about the situation and location of the troops, and greeted these officers, who were about to make major personnel changes, hinting that they were on his side, and then agreed to meet with these cronies before the party's military meeting. It seems that the conspiracy to teach and accept privately and then overthrow Chen Ping is about to take shape. Chen Ping was originally promoted by Wright, probably because he was young and difficult to convince the public, and deliberately let him take over the power, just to make the mountains here full of chaos, and his people can not be described as poisonous. Now he accepted the Japanese and wanted to take Chen Ping.
Lin Xiuxuan can't control this person for the time being, he observes the deployment of the Japanese army through the drone, if Makino really reveals his whereabouts through some means.
He can be found by following the Japanese, but the Japanese are also divided into several operations. Go in all directions, with Malay guides on each road.
Suzuki doesn't know why, maybe he is also wary of 419's reconnaissance methods? Doing this, it is obviously difficult for Lin Xiuxuan, who is overstretched, to deal with. Fortunately, the 205th Division led by Xiong Xianghui has already come up, and in a few days, it can draw manpower from this unit to deal with the current situation.
In fact, Lin is now facing an unprecedentedly complicated situation, the Japanese forces have not all withdrawn, the allies have not had time to station, but the two local armies have already become one. Northern Malay is now in a mess, but trying to find out Makino in this pot of porridge is not easy.
But the good thing is that not only Lu Qingshan and Xiong Xianghui are coming, but Hu Yuexin is also coming, I don't know how Hu Yuexin felt after seeing the information collected by Ma Qiang, such a high-level leader of the CPM turned out to be a traitor. However, he had the foresight to suggest that Ho Chi Minh should come with him, fearing that Wright would put up all he could to resist, including those he had installed. So you have to use some wrists, let them expose themselves, and then catch them all.
It is obviously inappropriate to use the men and horses of the 201st Division to help Chen Ping seize power, which can only be counterproductive, and the assassination of Wright is also extremely detrimental to Chen Ping's control of all the mountains. The general secretary of the party came from afar and died in Chen Ping's territory, and it was difficult to escape the suspicion of melon fields and plums, not to mention, Lin Xiuxuan also had to wait for him to exchange information with the southern organs through messages that he thought were safe, so as to obtain an information channel. Therefore, the best way is to expose Wright at the conference where he is trying to seize power, which is conducive to purging people's hearts.
Qin Xiaosu's drone could not track all the scattered Japanese troops at the same time, and could only track the one that was most actively heading north. After a communication between Wright and the Yugoslav authorities, the men and horses sneaked through the guerrillas' noses and sneaked between the two units.
But this is exactly what Lin Xiuxuan wants, as the so-called praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches behind, and now he has to be careful to keep up with this Japanese army. The force consisted of about 60 Japanese soldiers and 40 locals, well equipped and adept at concealment, and apparently experienced in jungle warfare.
One thing Lin Xiuxuan didn't understand was that he had never intercepted the message sent by Makino, but the Japanese had moved forward in a targeted manner, and there might be something that he had missed, but it didn't matter now, the important thing was that he felt that he was about to find Makino.
He moved his forces slowly closer to the enemy, and they soon reached the vicinity of a military airfield that had been abandoned by the Japanese a week earlier, and then stopped to rest.
The endurance of small drones cannot be tracked continuously, and they must return to their homes and undergo a long recharge. Lin Xiuxuan took his own people and approached to reconnoitre.
He estimated that this was the agreed meeting place between the two parties, and perhaps it was the telephone line of this base that helped Makino get in touch with the outside world. From two kilometers away, he looked at the airfield with a telescope. Nothing could be seen, the enemy was well hidden, and he led his troops slowly approaching, encircling the airfield in an arc. And machine guns were deployed in several places. Now Makino is a frightened bird, and when he finds the wind and grass, he will slip away. Once Makino appeared, he was not sure that he would be captured alive, and the best thing to do was to isolate him from the rest of the Japanese army with firepower and then shoot him to death with a random shot.
Hayashi's judgment was almost correct, this was the meeting place agreed between Makino and Suzuki, but Makino himself did not come, but sent his deputy, researcher Machijiri.
Makino's caution made him afraid to show up in person, and of course, on the other hand, the head of the village refused to let everyone go of the Japanese, because the money Makino promised had not yet been given. So after weighing the pros and cons, Makino decided to stay and do the low pressure himself, and let Machijiri come to the joint.
Machijiri waited at the side of the runway with two guides, and the time agreed by phone had already arrived, and he was a little anxious because he suspected that the Japanese army had not crossed the guerrilla-controlled area to get here.
Finally, a Malay man stepped out of the jungle and onto an open runway. He carried a paran scimitar shaped like a crescent moon, which was a popular jungle machete in Malaya and Sumatra and other regions, but it was rarely used, but some leaders would show off their might, which was also the contact mark agreed by Makino, so that his people could observe it from a few kilometers away.
The man drew his knife and swung it in the air. Lin Xiuxuan also realized that this was some kind of contact signal, indicating that the joint had begun.
Machijiri came out of hiding. Dressed in leather shoes, a tattered suit, and a pair of glasses, he walked wearily towards the Malay. He didn't think there would be any danger, if the troops of the Southern Agency were found through the guerrilla area, they would not be here, and if they could be here, it would mean that everything was safe.
Suzuki's squad of Japanese soldiers also rushed out of the jungle, and there was a doctor among them, according to Suzuki's arrangement, who had to immediately check the body of the person who came to see if there were any external injuries or drinking unclean local water, which caused diarrhea.
Of course, one of them was also carrying a heavy box, which contained gold paid by the Japanese army to protect the Makino tribe. The Malays were not so polite to any infidel, and there was money to be charged for protecting Makino and a few other Japanese. Of course, Makino knew what he was worth, so he readily agreed.
Lin Xiuxuan looked at the joint through the binoculars, he wasn't very sure if the one who came was Makino, at least the time he saw Makino, Makino didn't wear glasses, but he couldn't see the other features very clearly from too far away. If they were allowed to escape into the jungle, the fighter would be more complicated, and perhaps after the fire, Makino would take the opportunity to slip away. He motioned to the two machine gunners next to him to be sure to kill the one in the suit as soon as possible.
He didn't have a professional sniper by his side, and he didn't have sniper equipment, otherwise he could have made a cameo as a sniper, so he brought the best machine gunner and sniped with a .50 machine gun and a couple of .30 machine guns. Now these machine gunners are scattered over several commanding heights and can fire at the same time.
Makino chose this open location, obviously because he was worried that it would not be easy to find his own people, but the open place also had its own dangers, so he did not come in person.
Machijiri took the water from the medic and threw himself up to drink.
"Where's Mr. Makino? Is he okay? ”
"He's fine, I'll take you to him. Did the money bring? Otherwise, they wouldn't let them go. ”
"Brought."
"Where are we going, I'll take you."
Several natives who came with him demanded that the gold be inspected on the spot, saying that this was their rule. The Japanese were helpless, of course they knew that the shorter the time they could spend in such an open area, the better, but the natives insisted on looking at the money first, so they were forced to open the box on the runway first, and the gold inside glittered in the scorching sun.
Lin Xiuxuan hesitated whether to do it immediately, it seemed that the other party had succeeded in the joint and was about to lead the person away. Now it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and that dog day was in the open field, standing with his hands on his hips.
In the end, seeing that everyone had finished viewing, it seemed that they were going to part ways. He knew he couldn't afford to lose any more time, so he gave the order to shoot. Several machine guns were deployed at a distance of 300-500 meters, firing together. At the same time, two mortars were fired. His half-track, which was an important part of the attack, suddenly rushed out of the concealed position and drove onto the runway, cutting off the Japanese escape route back to the jungle as fast as possible.
Machijiri was killed by machine gun fire at the first moment. All the shots were aimed at him, and the closer he was, the more unlucky he was.
The shells of the 60 mortars exploded around the human push, and the place was unobstructed and could not withstand crossfire at all, and in the blink of an eye, several vehicles were inserted into the middle of the passage of the return of the Japanese, and these tanks quickly doubled their firepower. This makes it possible for people on the runway to survive almost no survival.
