Chapter four hundred and seventy third small encounter
The Chinese army quickly opened up the situation in Australia, especially the proactive attacks of front-line officers such as Mo Xiong made the Chinese army gradually gain huge advantages there and the occupied areas continued to expand.
On the other hand, the secret meeting in a luxurious villa on the southern end of Okinawa Island was also stirring the entire World War II pattern behind the world.
Liu Shen, who represents the "Hellfire" Association, is discussing the arms deal with Japanese spy officer Hiroyao Ikeda.
Ikeda Hiroyao didn't know much about "Hellfire", an arms merchant group that is closely related to Hualian's senior management. The only thing he knows is that the only people in the entire association who often appear in the public eye are Liu Shen and Zhou Feihuo.
Among them, Liu Shen was the main person in charge of arms sales to Japan. The two had negotiated many times, accumulating a lot of military supplies for Japan to launch the South Pacific counterattack, which was of great help.
It can even be said that the rapid defeat of the Japanese army in the later period has a lot to do with the inability to supply materials. At the same time, the deterioration of the Chinese government's attitude towards Japan is also one of the reasons. The Japanese army was unable to pass through the Chinese waters safely, which made the logistics of the front-line army suddenly tight.
Looking at the hypocritical and greedy Chinese man in front of him, Hiroyao Ikeda wished he could strangle him to death with his own hands, but he had to pay a smile on his face: "Mr. Liu, please help me with the matter of arms and arms sales. This is a little bit of thought, please accept it with a smile."
After saying that, he handed the exquisitely crafted sandalwood box in his hand to Liu Shen and bowed deeply.
Liu Shen didn't even look at it. With his current status and power, he was not short of money or so-called rare treasures. Although he was greedy, he was not stupid and had a very smart mind.
Liu Shen remained silent, but just glanced at Hiroyao Ikeda with a sincere attitude. He could clearly sense the faint anger from this Japanese man.
"Ikeda-kun. It's not that I am willing to help. According to the original agreement, one of the conditions for arms sales must be based on the reduction of the population of indigenous people in Southeast Asia."
"Mr. Liu, please listen to me." As soon as Hiroyao Ikeda thought of explaining, he was interrupted by Liu Shen.
"I can listen to your explanation, but I am not the one in the association. Japan has adjusted its policies privately and wants to implement the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Circle Plan in Southeast Asia, which has made the senior leaders of the association very dissatisfied!" Liu Shen emphasized the seriousness of the matter in a stern tone.
Because of the reckless acts of the front-line troops in the war of aggression against China, Japan's national war was in a quagmire with no way out. The massacre was exchanged for the more tenacious resistance of the Chinese people.
After this battle, senior military officers of the military also began to understand the importance of military discipline. When occupying Southeast Asia, they paid great attention to this issue, avoiding conflicts with local indigenous peoples, and instead promoting the prosperity of Greater East Asia in a more moderate way.
Here. Just as it was done in a certain film of time and space, Japan entered Southeast Asia as an Asian liberator, calling on the natives here to rise up and resist the US military together, and gained the recognition and support of local residents.
Japan supported the local armed forces and chose some pro-Japanese elements as leaders of the new government. It is precisely because of these measures and the physical characteristics of Asians that the Japanese became the saviors of Asia here. They were completely different from their image in the eyes of the Chinese.
Among them, Yamashita Tomoto is the main executor of this plan. If it weren't for the huge disparity in national strength, I'm afraid Japan could really control it completely, and the Americans might not have picked peaches.
Liu Shen's cold words filled Hiroyao Ikeda's heart with bitterness. Japan has now reached the end of his life. Even though he knew that the other party was deliberately making things difficult for him, he still had to come over and beg him with a shameless face.
"Mr. Liu, is there really no room for maneuver in this matter?" Hiroyao Ikeda still did not give up the last glimmer of hope, even if such an opportunity was slim.
"Ikeda-kun, the times have changed. Is there room for bargaining in Japan nowadays? You should understand that once some mistakes are made, it will never be difficult to recover." Liu Shen shook his head with regret, sighing at the tragic fate of this nation.
Since the Meiji Restoration, Japan has been on the most correct path. This may be a favor of fate, but it has never changed Japan's innate defects.
Small countries are only small countries after all, and even if they can rise occasionally, they will not last long unless they can completely overtake other countries in terms of civilization. However, in fact, this situation will not happen at all. Even in terms of reserves of technological strength, Japan still cannot reverse its own disadvantages.
Before leaving, Liu Shen turned around and warned: "Ikeda-kun, choose your position well. Japan has not had much time left."
After hearing this, Hiroyao Ikeda looked like earth, and he was deeply desperate.
The rising China cannot retaliate against the big mistakes that Japan once made. The current land of China is no longer the weakness and ignorance of the Jiannu rule for hundreds of years.
In fact, in recent months, the Hualian government has begun to carry out plans to suppress Japan, and restore Okinawa Prefecture to become an ancient Ryukyu country is one of them, and then occupy the Korean Peninsula and establish its effective rule there.
This is an impossible condition for the Japanese government, and China has no plans for negotiation. If it weren't for the struggle with the Americans, I'm afraid the plan would have been completed now.
Liu Shen's words seemed to imply that Hiroyao Ikeda, that China's retaliation against Japan was most likely more than that. This information put him in a deep dilemma, just like the situation that Japan is about to face now.
In northern Australia, a convoy with Chinese flags was passing through Kakadu and preparing to head to Katherine.
"It is said that there are many animals and many horses in Australia. After running for so long, I can't even see a rabbit shadow! I thought I could catch a few horses to make a horse meat feast for everyone to have a tooth sacrifice..."
It is said that among the people running in front of the strengthening company, there is actually the squad leader of the kitchen squad of the strengthening company. A veteran soldier.
I saw him carrying the 40 rocket launcher in the firepower class and one of the semi-automatic rifles equipped by the kitchen team, running wildly in the team as the leader of the first group. His gray hair and slightly mediocre body were completely incompatible with his fast-moving legs.
"I didn't expect that you would be really good when you really run. Not only would you not fall behind, but you could also rush to the front. After the war, I will help you fight a few horses. I heard that the smell of horse meat even the commander would stop." Running in the first group, a young third-class soldier in the Pioneer Team looked at the veteran who had been following his pace and speed in disbelief.
"Boy. When I ran a force, you were still snotting and sheeping. When I was a soldier, the battalion commander had just become the platoon leader. I have been fighting for so long. Don't think that I can't do anything other than cooking!" The veteran was a little displeased when he was questioned. He opened his mouth and talked about his former glory.
Although he is not as good as other warriors, being able to speak while running and speaking smoothly means that he still has a lot of physical strength.
"Don't talk. If you still have the energy to speak, you should pay attention to saving your energy. If you still have the extra energy to tell stories here, you might as well help others carry more things!" The squad leader of the Pioneer Class stopped the veteran from talking because sometimes he needed to maintain a constant breathing under large amounts of exercise during intense exercise.
Everyone knows that the squad leader of the kitchen squad is a very story-produced veteran. He speaks not only funny but also vividly in imitating ventricular skills. If something funny in his story pops out of his mouth, the breathing speed of the soldiers who disturbed the entire team will affect the running speed of the entire team.
"Squad Leader, look over there!" The voice of a little warrior made the soldiers who were committed to running wild look in the direction he pointed, and saw that about three thousand meters away on the left, there was a team of people moving in the same direction, but the other party seemed to have noticed them and began to accelerate.
"It's the enemy, with about eighty people! There are many weapons, and it seems that they are defeated soldiers who retreated from that area." Through the telescope, the squad leader roughly judged the number and strength of the opponent.
"Do you want to fight? There are not many people in them. As soon as we start fighting, we will definitely eat them as soon as the troops behind us follow us." The veteran chef was excited when he saw the enemy. He carried the bazooka and shouted that he wanted to fight.
"No hurry, we have too few people. The other party seems to have no intention of fighting and keep retreating backwards. When the fight is not enough to eat the other party and it delays our business." After a brief observation, the squad leader also found that the other party was completely unwilling to fight and accelerated and evacuated towards Catherine and decided not to attack for the time being.
The troops that the vanguard team met were the retreating stragglers of Witthomson and others. They were not blind, and they could see the movements caused by the forcing the tactics of the company from afar.
I found that the other party was a large number of people, and then look at the people around me. Although there were many weapons, there were basically no ammunition. If Australians had not known the importance of guns to them in the wild, I believe these people would have thrown all of these weapons without ammunition long ago.
Therefore, although he saw that there were only about ten people in front of him, Thomson could not figure out the strength of the other party. At the same time, he saw that there were large troops following behind these people, so he did not dare to underestimate the other party's bullying and launched a rash attack, but ordered to accelerate the evacuation backwards.
The two sides kept moving at a distance, and no one rashly launched an attack or counterattack. Everyone seemed to be cautious before contact.
After knowing the situation ahead, Gan Daoguang, who was following behind, did not rashly change the follow-up speed of the team, but instead let the sharp knife squad follow up with the opponent's tail hanging from a distance.
As we followed this until the evening, a team of cavalry troops suddenly came from Catherine. It was not entirely true that cavalry was the only one. As a native Australian resident, even if there were few people in the city, they could not ride horses.
After all, when these ancestors were exiled prisoners came here to explore O Island in the early years, horse riding had become a life skill. Even if the population in the east gradually became urbanized, many people would often go to their friends' pastures to relive the life skills passed down by the robber's ancestors.
Moreover, on the sparsely populated island of Ao, when vehicles were not the mainstream means of transportation, horses naturally became the main means of transportation.
Thomson and his group, who were tired and hungry, were unable to stop, were moved as if they met God when they met this friendly army of more than 100 people. The long march made the entire escaped troops on the verge of collapse.
If Thomson hadn't repeatedly told the cruel means of the Japanese devils killing prisoners of war during the march, the fleeing force would have long lost its last momentum.
Although Thomson didn't know the difference between the Chinese and the Japanese devils, for Westerners, in their eyes, the Easterners looked basically the same. Whether it was the Chinese or the Japanese devils, these Easterners who followed behind were devilishly terrifying to these fleeing teams.
Soon, Thomson figured out the purpose of the troops coming. They were Catherine's defenders. After losing contact with Darwin Port telephone, telegraph and other means for a day. Catherine's defenders learned about Darwin's loss from some channels.
However, since the real situation was not grasped and the troops on hand were too scarce, Catherine's defenders could only send these troops to conduct a network-style search and reconnaissance.
After learning about Darwin's current situation in detail from Thomson's mouth, the search and reconnaissance troops immediately sent someone to Catherine to send the latest information back. After doing these two things, Thomson's eyes shot at the Chinese army that had been following them.
Because in just a short time, the soldiers he led replenished their overdrawn physical strength with dry food and water. With the ammunition evenly produced by more than a hundred people and the relatively suitable terrain nearby, Thomson had a bold idea to fight back against the Chinese pursuers.
"Squad leader, look ahead."
The assault squad soldiers who had been following Thomson from afar suddenly discovered that the Australian troops, which were originally hanging far away in the night, were now suddenly lost their trace. This made the alert soldiers notice something.
"I saw it, when was the last time I discovered them?" The squad leader rolled up his sleeves, and the highlights of the watch on his wrist appeared in his eyes.
"Twenty-three minutes ago, the distance was about 1,800 meters."
"Be careful. Send two people to the front and stumble, but don't make a rash move. It will be dawn soon, and it will be no longer too late to make sure that it will be done." The squad leader made a decision after looking at the time and the distance and speed of the disappearance of the other party.
Soon, the squad deputy led another soldier to quietly continue moving forward under the cover of night, while the soldiers of the assault squad slowly followed behind. Unlike before, the soldiers are now moving in battle formations, pointing the muzzle to the surrounding bullets and opening them with their index finger outside the trigger guard ring in case of firing at any time.
The dry wind in Australia kept blowing. The shrubs and weeds were tearing in the quiet night sky, making creepy whimpering sounds, and the weeds kept swaying and undulating under the monsoon. It was impossible to tell whether anyone was sneaking or hiding inside.
Both sides held their breath in this environment, and the Chinese soldiers carefully used the protection of terrain and debris. They entered the ambush circle set up by William little by little in the dark.
Climbing behind a small earthblock, Thomson looked at the looming landforms and objects under the starry sky, hoping that the stars and moonlight would be brighter, just like the darker light he had expected an hour ago.
It's just that the content of expectation is just the opposite, because with the current visibility, it is difficult to find the targets in the ambush circle. However, Thomson was not too worried about the failure of the ambush, because in his opinion, no matter how powerful the ten pursuers behind were, they would not be the opponent of more than 200 people in one place.
He even thought that after three rounds of shooting, the more than ten pursuers would become corpses on the ground. Thinking of this, Thomson smiled cruelly. After being chased for so long, he finally got angry.
Just as Thomson was thrilling, a sound of insects and birds crowing suddenly came from the ambush circle. This sudden chirping made him feel a little strange.
For Thomson, who grew up on an Australian farm, he was familiar with every insect and bird cry in the forest, but this chirping...
Suddenly, Thomson realized that the unknown cries of insects and birds were not the sound of insects and birds, but were the imitation of humans. At least it was definitely the chirping of insects and birds in China!
After understanding this, Thomson immediately ordered the fire to open, and the roar in the dark was immediately responded, and the fireworks and explosions spewed out by more than a hundred guns immediately became the main theme around.
British Lee-Enfield rifle, Brown-style light machine gun continuously spits bullets into the area inside the ambush circle, tearing through and tearing up all objects that have the priority of bullet passing.
"Stop shooting! Stop shooting!"
After a while of pleasure, Thomson suddenly discovered another thing, that is, after shooting for so long, he did not seem to have a counterattack in the ambush area. As a US soldier who had experienced fighting against the Japanese devils, he knew it.
Even if he was attacked by a sneak attack, at least a dozen people on the other side would react to fire such a few shots, but the opponent did not shoot one. Could it be that he was so lucky that no pursuer escaped the gun and was killed?
It is useless to wait and guess in the dark. Thomson immediately sent several soldiers to ambush to check the specific situation.
