Lu Qingshan secretly calculated the time in his heart, he knew that the rest of the bodyguards were coming, and he had at most one minute, so he had to solve the problem cleanly, and then sneak out of the back to follow, of course, he couldn't splash blood on his body. He didn't really fight with Master Ha, but he slapped him on the shoulder and knew that his strength was not small, and he saw that he usually walked with a shelf, which was very stable compared to the next plate. Seeing that his opponent had put on a stance, he took a half-step over with a knife in his hand. He slowly approached like a praying mantis, just to test it and deliver the fatal blow.

Master Ha threw his braid down to his neck, smiled and jumped up to pick up the knife and came towards him. Lu Qingshan saw that this momentum was strong and heavy, but the line was very long, and he didn't know whether the opponent was virtual or real, seeing that the knife was in front of him, he retreated slightly, and the blade grazed the tip of his nose and missed this split. He noticed that the man surnamed Ha was a little late in putting away the knife.

Seeing that the opponent didn't dare to take it hard, Master Ha sneered at the corner of his mouth, flew in his hand, played a knife flower, and then came to worship a hidden flower under his armpit. If there is a piece of red silk under the knife handle, it is definitely quite a shocking appearance.

Lu Qingshan saw through his sword skills, and his speed was not good, so he waited for his next move, and thought: Old dog, don't play tricks, hurry.

Master Ha's right foot moved slightly, stepped on the kun position, turned the wrist slightly upward, and slashed with his backhand. This move is still the dragon line knife style in the Bagua knife, and it is still the upper arm force, and the route is very long.

Lu Qingshan suddenly stepped forward, and arrived in front of this kid like lightning, holding his knife and holding his right hand on the opponent's forearm. He kicked his knee and kicked Master Ha in the stomach. With a swing of his right hand, the boning knife was cutting Master Ha's throat. His assassination moves, there is no show, the backhand knife with the arm and wrist movements to exert force, the action is extremely fast and difficult to see, in essence, it is to bully the slow with fast. The range of the attack is smaller than those that open and close widely, but Lu's fast pace makes up for these problems, especially in tight places.

Master Ha has been practicing wrestling and horse steps for too long, and the next plate is stable, and the gossip steps of advancing and retreating pay attention to the triple realm: qi, momentum and rhyme, Master Ha has reached the third realm, and he has consciously swordsmanship, and he has entered the realm of transformation, and no one else can get close to that thing. Unexpectedly, he was snatched inside by Lu Qingshan all of a sudden. In fact, if he hadn't been afraid that Master Ha might cheat from the beginning, Lu Qingshan would have been able to grab the close range with his first move (Ha's watermelon knife can't fight in close combat, and Lu's boning knife is just the opposite).

Seeing Master Ha spurting blood from the sky, Lu grabbed his braid and forcefully took it, and the person dodged behind him to avoid blood splashing on his body. The second knife stabbed into the back of Master Ha's neck. Turn it hard to speed up the paralysis of the opponent's center. When he pulled it out, Master Ha was already paralyzed, and Lu kicked him into the porridge bucket with the lid open. Turn around and flee.

Out of the back door, knowing that he couldn't go the same way with the team leader, he deliberately went in the opposite direction, if the enemy chased him out, he would lead away the pursuers, after all, the team leader still had a new hand Qin Xiaosu there.

He hid the sharp knife in his sleeve and walked for a while, not noticing the arrival of his pursuers. All the way to the Haihe River, he threw the knife into the Haihe River. At this time, he spoke to 419 and learned that the mission had changed, and he was asked to immediately go to the water to prepare to receive new equipment, and then go to the Chengnan River to meet. He didn't have as many taboos as Lin Xiuxuan, so he went down directly from the river embankment to look for civilian boats, and soon found a boat carrying dung just to the east. He agreed on a price with the shipowner, then covered his mouth and nose with a cloth and made his way east.

Lin Xiuxuan took Qin Xiaosu all the way south to Jiudaogou. They were going to set up an observation point in the nearby countryside while waiting for Lu Qingshan's equipment to arrive. To the southwest of that place, according to drone reconnaissance, there is a reed swing of considerable size, with water and small islands in between. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, this place became the Guangang Reservoir, but now there are still some rivers and Hubo. Waterways extend in all directions. The Japanese chose this place because they may also have considered that it would be easier to compare the cost of emissions. For carrying out assassination missions, such a place, there are also great benefits. The 419's dinghy can be reached directly.

Of course, Lin also knew that Lu Qingshan would inevitably kill one or two pursuers after he broke off, and he was not worried that Lu would miss, but he was worried that if he did it too cleanly, it would inevitably attract greater suspicion. Whether it will startle the snake, he doesn't know.

Along the way, they could see that many Japanese trucks were parked near Jiudaogou, many tents had been set up to form camps, and some troops had blocked the surrounding entrances. The two of them found a good place and began to wait patiently, waiting for Lu Qingshan to come back with the equipment.

In the sky over northern Burma, an American reconnaissance plane quietly flew over Xu Chong's head, and in order not to startle the snake, the American planes were very restrained, but Stilwell was also a little anxious at this time, and he had to send a plane to confirm that the place Xu Chong and Second Lieutenant Nixon found was unreliable. On board sat Stilwell's new principal aide, Lieutenant Colonel Merrill, who flew around twice, and the lieutenant colonel carefully watched the area, and without waiting for his return, he immediately sent a word on the radio to headquarters: pineapple. This is the code word he agreed with Stilwell, which means that it works.

The plan of action was roughly drawn up, and the results of reconnaissance by another team (the Maqiang group) were still lacking to verify the location of the rebel forces in British intelligence and the deployment of the 2nd Mixed Brigade north of Sittwe, but in any case, the operation was already imperative. A reinforced company of the Chinese and American airborne forces, with a total of 500 men ready to take part in the battle.

Ma Qiang led a group of men to avoid the sparse defenses of the Japanese army and crossed to their rear, the Japanese did not have enough troops to defend the entire mountainous area, they only blocked the main road to establish some defenses, more for the purpose of receiving the members of the Ichiki detachment who had retreated from the front. As the Allies offered a bounty on the head of each Japanese soldier and paid it in gold, the Kachin had gone mad in recent days, and all men, women, and children were sent out to look for the Japanese. So much so that Chief Chu had to restrain his subordinates not to act alone, so as not to hunt down those mountaineers with deadly blowpipes and poisoned arrows.

This small force quickly found the rebel barracks, at the location shown by the British intelligence, they looked down from the nearby hills, and found that the Japanese had allocated ten Toyota trucks to the rebels, and their original jeeps were all there, which showed that these people were still very mobile, and once they wanted to run, they could quickly flee south along a newly built road. The detachment did not stay long, leaving a group with a radio station to continue monitoring, while the rest headed south to find a place where paratroopers could be dropped.

Ma Qiang's team does not have a single American petty officer who is constrained everywhere, and what Zink assigned to him is Warrant Officer Spears, and he is also a seedling that Zink is optimistic about. The warrant officer didn't have much thought of interfering with the command, just looked eager to try, as if he was eager to kill.

In an area 10 kilometers south of the rebel camp, they found a place where they could airdrop - a swamp in the woods. In Myanmar, wherever forests don't grow, there must be a reason. The swamp is large, and the soil in the edge areas is hard, so you can airdrop it on which to join. But if you throw the paratroopers in the middle of the swamp, you can cause trouble, so the airdrop can only be carried out during the day, and the time has to be staggered with the tanks.

Other information gathered included that the 2nd Mixed Brigade was operating in this area with about 2,000 men, and that the 35th Division might have 2,000 troops, and that a feint attack on the sea would confuse the enemy's judgment and contain the remaining Japanese forces that might be supported throughout the Rakhine area.

When Stilwell got the news, he decided not to wait any longer, and launched an attack tonight, preparing to throw eight Cicada tanks, and about 500 paratroopers and eight tanks there. Among the 500 paratroopers were a six-man military tribunal and a 10-man film crew. The war was key to his stay in office, and it was of political interest to Marshall and Roosevelt.

According to the plan, Chu Tingchang's troops began to advance to cooperate with this operation, he had no interest in the Americans punishing the thieves, he just hoped to occupy more places as a bridgehead for the next stage of the mission.

At the headquarters of the Sittwe South Agency, the listening personnel had just discovered the intensive activity of the US military radio, and it seemed that the Allies were about to make a big move, and as far as they knew, there might be a small fleet of 4 British destroyers and 2 Dutch destroyers, and if they were dispatched, they could reach the outside of Sittwe Port in about 10 hours. The Allies had already outnumbered the 5th Air Division, and it would take two hours to dispatch the planes. The officers here were not sure how to deal with such an unexpected situation, so they waited for Suzuki to come.

Keiji Suzuki approached the radio listening room with a grim face to check the latest report. He had just been scolded by Commander Kimura, who blamed the fiasco of the Ichiki detachment for not providing accurate information. Suzuki is no longer the omniscient Suzuki of half a year ago, and his southern agency is no longer a god-like intelligence agency. He spent two years running the Burmese intelligence service, but now, when he has eaten up all these old books and entered the territory of the Kachin, he no longer has enthusiastic high-profile people, and the occasional information he gets is outdated or out of order. Now he can only rely on fragmented information to interpret it, and once he misinterprets it, he will inevitably be scolded by his superiors. Fortunately, Kinoshita's arrival gave him a little confidence.

Before nightfall, the C47 transport plane towing the glider arrived above the designated place, and they could see the fire burning below, which was of course easy for the Japanese to spot, but now it was more important not to let the planes in the air miss the drop site. The transport aircraft was freed from connecting with the clumsy glider in the rear.

Eight large gliders like fathead fish staggered to the ground. This is the first time in the history of mankind that heavy weapons have been airdropped in actual combat. Even Germany, which was experienced with paratroopers, did not conduct such a real battle.

The 8-ton tank and the improvised XC81 glider were a complete nightmare. Bruker worked hard to make this combination a reality, and in one of the only two experiments, the plane was destroyed and a man was killed, with a 50% success rate. When Stilwell made his decision, it was clear that it was impossible for all eight tanks and crews to reach the ground safely, and the bottom line of his mind was that the four vehicles would land smoothly.

Pilots must always pay attention to the depression angle when trying to control this kind of glider, a slight difference in the pool will cause the plane to hit the ground heavily, as for the contingency strategy under various air currents, there is no ready-made outline, it is completely to catch the ducks on the shelf. Of course, this is also the norm in wartime, in order to speed up the service of P47 fighters, most of the test flight squadron of the Army Aviation fell to death on the test flight field.

The glider staggered to the ground and fell significantly too fast, a trend that was difficult to contain. Normally, when the glider approaches the ground, there is always a significant lift, which makes it difficult for the aircraft to approach the ground, but in this kind of glider, there is no such feeling at all, the pilot only feels that the descent speed is increasing all the time, and the control effect of the various rudder surfaces is inefficient and sluggish.
