Due to the more urgent task of the East China Sea survey, 419 did not spend more time on reconnaissance, but only tracked the fleet into Saigon to remind Lin Xiuxuan of the enemy situation here. However, after entering the mouth of the Mekong River near Vung Tau, the Japanese fleet did not all go to the river ports of Saigon, and some of them entered the Saigon River, possibly to Dong Nai Province, where Chu Tingchang was about to launch an attack.

Now Cheng Dayang is facing a problem, either stop and wait for a few days and continue to track; Either hand over the next task to Lin Xiuxuan's group. This matter is very important, but it is difficult to judge which is more important than the East China Sea matter. He and the political commissar didn't dare to make a decision easily, so they had a short communication with Lin Xiuxuan, and as expected, Lin Xiuxuan took over the task. As a result, 419 was able to continue north.

The last information obtained by the 419 reconnaissance was the information of the ships obtained by judging the underwater acoustic data of the Japanese ships recorded in the past two years. Entering the mouth of the Mekong River, one is the Osse supply ship, the other is the Takasaki supply ship, and a smaller ship, the specific name cannot be determined for a while, but it can only be confirmed that it is a Pestle-class transport ship, because this type of ship is built a lot, so it is impossible to determine which one for a while, after all, the angle of the drone is somewhat limited, and the string number cannot be seen. In addition, some loading adjustments may be made after the enemy is moored.

What Lin Xiuxuan was most worried about was these small transport ships of eight or nine hundred tons, because it was impossible for large ships to penetrate too far into the inland river, at least the height of the bridges at the mouth of the Saigon River would not allow large ships of more than 5,000 tons to pass underneath, unless the Japanese blew up the bridges. But those small boats could go far into the inland waters, so that they would, at least theoretically, be able to deliver nuclear bombs weighing several tons and heavier (but dispersed) measuring equipment to most parts of Dong Nai province, depending on the battlefield changes, and Vietnam is a place with a dense water network.

The first stage of the operation, of course, was to advance with the troops of Chu Tingchang, and in the second stage, it was still necessary to rely on Ho Chi Minh's manpower, and without local forces, it was basically impossible to complete reconnaissance without dead ends.

The Vietnamese guerrillas suffered heavy losses and are repairing at the junction of Laos and Cambodia. Chief Chu Ting provided them with the world-made weapons that had been eliminated after receiving US aid, as well as the captured Japanese and French weapons, which could be regarded as compensation for the losses caused by Zhou Youfu's rebellion and allowing the guerrillas to attack Saigon alone. However, the beam between the guerrillas and Chu Tingchang seems to have been concluded. Zhou Youfu sent them to cooperate with the attack several times, but the Vietminh refused to send troops on the grounds of insufficient weapons.

The 104th and 106th Divisions of the Japanese Army, which were transferred from Guangxi, are currently in Dong Nai to build a defensive line. In the direction of Saigon, about 4,000 people from the Left Battalion of the Navy below the Kaohsiung Town Guard Prefecture were defended, and there were also some army security brigades, and the entire Vietnam was left with this little force. In addition, there were 40,000 French troops throughout Vietnam, which were still under the orders of the Vichy government, but were also in contact with the Free France, whose position was unknown.

As for the specific Marine Corps in Saigon, seven of the soldiers became Taiwanese soldiers, and Zhou Youfu fought with them, and his combat effectiveness was not highly evaluated, but the massacre of this unit in Saigon was quite efficient, killing tens of thousands of people in a week, including 1,000 French soldiers with white flags.

The task of contacting Ho Chi Minh was given to Qin Xiaosu, because he had a relationship with Ho Chi Minh, and he was responsible for receiving Ho Chi Minh and Hu Yuexin in Malaysia at the beginning, and arranging a car to send them to expose Wright. But in order to successfully complete the task, Hu Yuexin hinted to Ho Chi Minh that Qin Xiaosu was his own. Ho Chi Minh can guess from this that there are many CCP people in Chu Tingchang's troops, and Qin Xiaosu is obviously not the highest position.

Since it is a support for others, of course it can't be in vain, Qin Xiaosu sent there with more than a dozen truckloads of supplies, which can be regarded as buying people's hearts.

Since the United States was more inclined to buy off Ngo Dinh Diem's old police force and arrange an alliance with Emperor Bao Da, it gradually stopped supporting the Viet Minh, and the current supplies for the Vietminh are mainly raised by Chu Dinh Chang. When Chu Tingchang swept away the warlords from Burma to Thailand and Cambodia, he seized a lot of guns, and his troops did not look down on them, so they used them to give favors. The Viet Minh forces currently have as many as a dozen calibers of weapons, and it is difficult to match the ammunition.

When he arrived, smoke was rising from the Viet Minh camp, and soldiers in ragged clothes were lining up to receive food. Qin Xiaosu went down from the car, the porridge was thin and could show the figures, and then looked at the people in the team, depressed and morale was not high.

Obviously, the food supplement allocated by Chu Tingchang to the Viet Minh was privately swallowed by Zhou Youfu. Zhou Youfu privately withheld grain, of course, for smuggling. At this moment, he is more eager to get through Guangxi than anyone in Chu Ting's team. After Liao Yaoxiang took control of the main transportation routes in northern Burma, he led troops to investigate the smuggling of military vehicles several times, and in addition to confiscating his goods, he also shot several of his people. He now urgently needs to open a second corridor that will connect Guangxi with Thailand's rice region. He has already investigated that the price of rice in South Vietnam is currently only one-third of that in China, and it will fall further by the autumn harvest.

Ho Chi Minh, who had a goatee, walked out of the tent, and was thinner than the one he had seen in Malay, and he was completely skinny, but he was the most energetic one in the camp. With his hands behind his back, his head up, and a smile on his face. Soldiers will be demoralized after defeat, but commanders should not be depressed.

The truck stopped in front of him, and Qin Xiaosu got out of the car and shook hands with Ho Chi Minh.

"I brought flour, canned food, and weapons."

"That's what we need."

Ho Chi Minh didn't take much of a look at the flour piled up on the truck, he let Qin Xiaosu into the tent, of course he knew that Qin Xiaosu was Hu Yuexin's person, obviously there were some words that had to be carried out in private.

"Comrade, you must need our help again?" Ho Chi Minh said as he lit a candle.

Qin Xiaosu was stunned, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

"I just want you to know that we can help you selflessly, at the expense of the best youth in Vietnam, but ...... We have just experienced a huge setback and need to grow stronger as soon as possible. ”

"This is ......"

"We know that Ngo Dinh Diem is in Laos, and he has expanded his battalion by 10 battalions and uses American weapons."

"The U.S. Strategic Intelligence Agency decided to woo him because he promised to support Emperor Baoda, and you are unwilling to do so."

"Tell me, what do you need us to help you with?" Ho Chi Minh said and sat down on the marching bed, while Qin Xiaosu sat on the small bench next to him.

"That's right, we need to reconnoiter every tributary of the lower Mekong and survey every vessel over 80 tons."

"The Japanese then had thousands of motorized sailing boats to transport grain in the delta, all of which were too difficult, and these were not important targets."

"But now it's important."

"Is that so? I hope that the Chinese comrades will be more honest. ”

"Half a month ago, the Japanese exploded one* in Indonesia, eliminating about 20,000 British troops."

Ho Chi Minh was silent for a moment, then lit a cigarette and took a few puffs. Recently, he has been recuperating in this closed camp, of course, he will not get any first-hand information, but he is a smart person after all, and he knows that the purpose of Qin Xiaosu's trip must be related to this kind of *.

"This is a difficult problem that we have to face together. The enemy* is bulky and can only be transported by water or rail, so I need your manpower to keep an eye on it. ”

"What will be the characteristics of the ship carrying this *?"

"There are no features, but the defense must be very tight."

"I need five thousand rifles, the battle to attack Saigon, the losses are too great and need to be replenished."

"After all, Pavilion Chief Chu is an old fox, and it is difficult for us to handle such a large number." Qin Xiaosu said.

"Chu Tingchang is indeed a long-term scourge, and he wants to build an independent kingdom in Southeast Asia...... I hope that you Chinese comrades will see this point clearly as soon as possible, because this person's Great China chauvinism is absolutely different from ours...... I was worried that once the Japanese were beaten away, he would become the next fierce enemy. I have already told Comrade Hu Yuexin about this last time, and we must make plans as early as possible. ”

"That's what we expected. But for the time being, I still have to use this person and try to win him over. ”

"Such a reactionary person can't be won over, I think, it's better to do Tao Mingzhang's work......" Ho Chi Minh took the opportunity to probe, and he could roughly guess that Qin Xiaosu's superior might be Tao Minh Zhang.

"Oh, I'll report to my superiors." Qin Xiaosu's face did not change his color.

"That'...... Find a way to get 3,000 guns. The most important thing is a Japanese gun, and it can't be that kind of miscellaneous goods. ”

"Okay, I'll figure it out." Qin Xiaosu opened the notebook and wrote down the old man's request, which was indeed within the scope of what Chu Tingchang could do. Chu Dinh Chang has never wanted the Vietminh to become bigger, of course he knows that Ho Chi Minh is a wolf, and he is not a good man.

Saigon Airport.

Seishiro Itagaki landed at the airfield with a bomber that he had come for a new nuclear bomb battle plan.

The city, which currently has no army forces, is occupied by a detachment of marines from Kaohsiung, with the supreme commander being Rear Admiral Hiroshi Risuse.

Sakagaki was not accustomed to cooperating with the Navy, but this operation was in the Navy's controlled zone after all, and it had to be coordinated. In addition, he has some small abacus. Most of the sailors in Saigon are Taiwanese, but they can use nuclear bombs and be less constrained. He had just received news that a large number of non-combat attrition had recently begun to occur within the Guards Division, which was charging towards the mushroom cloud in Sumatra. It may be caused by what Makino called radiation sickness, which is characterized by a lot of hair loss, intestinal bleeding, and markings on the skin. When the Guards Division attacked, there were almost no casualties, but in the last ten days it has lost more than 900 people.

It can be seen that when the killing mechanism of * has not been thoroughly understood, it is not reasonable to use Japanese soldiers to charge into battle. Recently, when the base camp evaluated Japan's favorable conditions for nuclear deterrence with the United States, out of 10 comparative items, the only one that was favorable to Japan was that Japan had more colonial troops. Closely following Taiwan, Korea, and Manchuria, four million troops can be mobilized in a short period of time. Of course, the Japanese war machine was not enough to equip so many people.
