Chapter 57 Esperance Point
Zhang Fan ignored it and carefully understood the surrounding conditions through perception. Just now, he felt the unique smell of the army passing through the air, and the faint smell of gunpowder smoke, which was not all dispersed. Ordinary people could not smell it.
After Jesse stopped, he got out of the car and took advantage of the light of the flashlight to carefully check the strangeness in the surrounding jungle. Sure enough, it was found that there were indeed traces left by the troops, and the destination was Cape Esperance. It seems that Aken's expectation is correct, and the Japanese withdrawal has begun!
Aken sent a message and asked Zhang Fan if he wanted to follow the traces to find the temporary Japanese garrison and carry out a tentative attack? Zhang Fan thought for a moment and still refused. Now let's go to Cape Esperance first and continue to confirm whether Akan's guess is correct and be foolproof. Don't scare the snake before you do it again!
So the six people continued to march quickly towards Cape Esperance.
Cape Esperance, which was not expected to arrive until noon the next day, was already in front of us in the early morning.
Six people parked their cars in a hidden place, climbed up to a highland overlooking the whole Cape Esperance, and did their own hidden work. Jesse and his companions separately collected branches, grass, vines, leaves and so on to make an ambush.
Zhang Fan and the other two had no trouble. While Jesse and his companions were busy working in the distance, they took out the 'ghost' to cover their whole body, and soon merged with the surrounding environment. Moreover, the grass is also very comfortable, with a cool fragrance. I guess this smell has the function of repelling insects.
Zhang Fan took advantage of the bonus of the blue telescope and felt that it covered the whole Cape. Sure enough, he found that a group of Japanese troops were busy at the Cape, as if they were building simple fortifications, all with anti-aircraft machine guns. According to this progress, it is estimated that the Japanese army will arrange an anti-aircraft machine gun position on the Cape in less than a day!
It seems that the Japanese army has a very detailed plan for this retreat, and even the possible air strike of the U.S. military is fully prepared!
The sky gradually brightened, and Zhang Fan felt that there was a road of troops approaching the sea corner. It was estimated that the Japanese army that Zhang Fan noticed in the jungle last night also arrived.
"Head, do you want to report to the station?" Jesse climbed to Zhang Fan's hidden place and asked. Now he admires this seemingly inconspicuous Chinese even more. He not only has martial arts, but also has a high IQ. It's really like a god.
"Wait a minute and see how they are arranged. They have just arrived here, and it is estimated that the retreat will take a few days. We have to wait for the troops on the island to arrive. Zhang Fan took a telescope and observed carefully. With his super perception, those Japanese soldiers' every move is right in front of him. We will observe for a day, and then you will report in the evening, then go back to lead the way and bring the army. The three of us are monitoring here, and maybe we can find an opportunity to harass them.
"If I don't go back, just let those two kids go back." Jesse said, "I want to fight with you."
"Let's talk about it then." Zhang Fan said, "You go back first and continue to monitor."
Jessie returned to his hiding place and didn't know what to say with his companions. Zhang Fan's ears were sharp, and he couldn't help but laugh when he heard Jesse bragging about himself to the two soldiers.
During World War II, blacks did not have a very high status in the U.S. military. When they saw Zhang Fan and others of color, they were naturally more friendly. And when he first went to Guadalcanal, Zhang Fan did treat him well.
"This Jesse." Zhang Fan shook his head and smiled.
"Head, I'll go out and see the terrain." Akan learned from Jesse and said to Zhang Fan, "Find the right attack position. Now that the goal has been determined, we can do the preparatory work.
"Okay, you can bring the green wings together. If something happens, you can take care of it." Zhang Fan nodded and agreed, "I'll continue to observe here."
"Don't worry, it's okay." Aken stood up and shrank the 'ghost vine' to his body, forming a cloak wrapped around his body. At any time, as long as you lie down on the ground, it will become a cluster of thatched grass. This is indeed a superb prop for scouts.
Green Wing said to Zhang Fan, "Be careful." Then Aken disappeared in front of his eyes.
In Zhang Fan's perception, he could only feel the two fast-moving thatch and could not detect the signs of the two people. As long as the two stop, it is difficult to distinguish them from the surrounding environment.
When Zhang Fan saw so many Japanese troops gathering on the beach, he once opposed the use of the dark gold prop 'The Sigh of Kirishima', a mass destruction weapon. Because this may hurt the innocent opponent's precepters, especially those hidden in the Japanese army. The power of the green prop 'zero double click' is relatively small, and there is basically no threat to the ring holder. So this mission, unless you have to refuse to use the 'Sigh of the Kirishima' by yourself.
Aken believes that in such a dangerous situation in the current scene, it is still difficult to survive with stupid compassion, which will eventually lead to the lives of himself and his teammates. If Zhang Fan can't bear to use this prop, then he will still use it himself.
Green Wing also holds the same mentality as Aken. It is really unnecessary to sympathize with others when his life is not fully guaranteed. This is a deadly game of the survival of the strong, and too much kindness will only hurt themselves.
Zhang Fan weighed silently and finally decided to use it by himself, because he has the most spiritual value, but he must use it in the second attack. The first attack should first expose the other party's precepter, and he should also be slightly biased when using it to minimize the unnecessary death of the other party's precept holder.
Aken thought for a moment and agreed. He did not sympathize with Benzang or other precepters. He felt that he would expose the other party's precept holders to see what the other party's task was. Second, he would leave some cards in case he met the same person as the Onmyoji last time?
The sky is getting brighter, and the Japanese army in the jungle has also arrived and participated in the work of the first batch of Japanese troops, releasing warning posts everywhere and building air defense fortifications. Nearly 800 Japanese soldiers have gathered on the beach now. It is led by two majors. Now as long as Acon set up a sniper rifle and shoot a major to kill a major, he can complete more than half of the task.
Looking at the current situation on the beach, it is estimated that more than 6,000 Japanese troops on the island can gather here in five days. As long as a small amount of cannon fodder is left to deal with the U.S. military, this retreat can be completed under the nose of the U.S. military.
To be honest, Zhang Fan doesn't care much about whether the U.S. military can intercept this retreating army. He considered how to evacuate safely after attacking the Japanese army. If there is a group of U.S. troops to respond, it is naturally a matter of great demand. Of course, we should grasp the time. Don't let the U.S. military come too early and disperse the Japanese army. The bullets in the melee are not eye-catching, but dangerous. Therefore, the key is when Jesse will report to their residence.
There is a radio station on the jeep driven by six people, which can send messages to the station at any time. Fortunately, Jesse is obedient to himself and is still under his control when to send a letter. However, if it were another U.S. scout, I'm afraid things would not be so smooth. This Jesse is probably a policy tilt for the world of discipliners. Maybe he also played a role in his previous relationship with this scene. Well, this is very important. You should study it with Aken.
After this team of Japanese troops came, no other Japanese troops came on this day. This is probably because the Japanese army is good at night covert operations. In order to hide the ears and eyes of the U.S. military, they deal with it during the day and gather at the landing site in batches at night. In this way, the gods unconsciously withdrew from the Guadalcanal battlefield.
Several people took turns to rest and observe. Acon returned to the hidden place with Green Wings at night, and they found four places for ambush. Aken drew a simple map, marking signs and hiding points.
"Then after seeing the second batch of Japanese troops tomorrow, let Jesse and others report the discovery. It will take at least two days for the U.S. military to get here from the assembly march. We can launch a raid before they arrive, and then retreat in the direction of the U.S. military. The Japanese army will not chase us, and we will complete the task safely. They are unlucky to catch up with them. Let's fight with American soldiers. Just delay their retreat!" Aken said his idea.
"Well, after they leave, we will go to a few hidden points to familiarize ourselves with the terrain. Arrange the order of attack." Zhang Fan nodded and said, "It's just that Jesse must follow us. What's the arrangement?" With that, he took a look at the hiding place on Jesse's side.
"It's okay. Let him follow Green Wings." Aken said, "This may not be a bad thing. I am responsible for sniping Japanese officers. You are responsible for attacking the Japanese army with props, and the green wing takes Jesse to block the enemy to track. This will not expose us."
"If you dare to do this, the task of Green Wing is more dangerous, and some people will take care of it." Zhang Fan thought this arrangement was very good: "You arrange it, Captain Aken, we will obey the deployment."
"Hey, we're going to play the next big game again!" Aken looked at the beach where the Japanese army gathered and smiled gloomyly.
At night, six people left an observation post to pay attention to the beach, and rest rest to recover their strength.
In the early morning of the second day, another group of Japanese troops arrived at the beach, bringing the number of Japanese troops gathered here to more than 1*! The fortifications have also been almost built, and a landing site of about 6,000 people has been opened up. The situation is indeed serious.
