Lost and Spy

Chapter 2125 Gua Island Mission
Tian Qi lit a cigarette.

The mission he came to Guadalcanal this time was assigned to him by MacArthur himself.

Cooperate with the U.S. military in Guadalcanal and provide detailed information.

After all, in the hands of Lieutenant General Gormley of the U.S. Army, apart from an old map from 90 years ago and a few old photos taken by missionaries, the only information about Guadalcanal Island written by Jack London is about the Solomon Islands. novel.

The first U.S. Army to participate in the battle on Guadalcanal was the First U.S. Marine Division under the command of Major General Vandergrift.

The 1st Marine Division, the main force for landing, was the first elite unit in the United States to conduct special training in landing warfare. However, a large number of excellent and well-trained officers and sergeants from this division were transferred to serve as the backbone of the newly formed 2nd and 3rd Marine Divisions. .

Now most of the army members are recruits who have just joined the army, and their combat effectiveness is no longer comparable to that of the old 1st division.

After several fierce naval and land battles, the two sides formed a tug-of-war in Guadalcanal, and no one could quickly win a decisive victory.

After staying in the United States for a period of time, Tian Qi has clearly seen that although he suffered a lot of losses in Pearl Harbor, the war potential of the United States is amazing.

A terrible beast has been awakened.

When this behemoth brandished its ferocious minions and joined the war, the balance of victory was actually tilting quietly.

Meng Shaoyuan's previous judgments were all accurate.

Once the United States enters the war, the situation of the war will change rapidly.

Now, the direction of the war is proceeding according to his prediction.

When MacArthur needed to form an excellent intelligence squadron, Tian Qi volunteered to take on the job.

MacArthur was not happy yet.

The environment in Guadalcanal was too bad, and he didn't want his friend and ally "Peter Lin" to be in danger.

However, Tian Qi insisted on doing so.

MacArthur reluctantly agreed to his request.

Of course, Tian Qi would not take the initiative to help the US military.

Before he left China, Meng Shaoyuan had an in-depth talk with him.

His future work, when and what he should do, have all been clearly explained.

From the Philippines to Australia, and then, Guadalcanal Island.

"Lieutenant Masahiko Matsuoka, Commander of the Matsuoka Infantry Battalion, 2th Infantry Regiment, 4nd Division, Japanese Army, your target is him."

That day, Meng Shaoyuan told Tian Qi like this: "You must try to catch this person and search him carefully."

At that time, Tian Qi almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

On the battlefield, it's not on the intelligence front. If you want to catch a lieutenant officer of the Japanese army, how do you catch him?
Like the ancient Zhao Zilong, single-handedly, seven in and seven out to catch him?
joke!

Meng Shaoyuan didn't talk to Tian Qi very carefully.

He really wants to tell Tian Qi that as long as the right time comes, even if he sends a child, he can catch Masahiko Matsuoka!

Meng Shaoyuan also said very vaguely:
Not to search him carefully, but to get a diary from Matsuoka Masahiko!
This diary will play a decisive role in Meng Shaoyuan's entire future plan.

But at this time Tian Qi was at a loss.

There is no way, this is Meng Shaoyuan's order from the west.

Judging from the countless previous missions, under normal circumstances, the orders he gave basically did not make mistakes.

Even if Tian Qi was reluctant, he accepted the order unconditionally.

Tian Qi landed on the island with the US Marine Corps commanded by Colonel Edson.

At the beginning of landing on the island, the intelligence studio commanded by Tian Qi immediately put into work in an orderly manner.

Tian Qi is too experienced in this area, he knows who to go to and how to get information.

The local aborigines are undoubtedly the best candidates for intelligence observation.

The price to pay is a few breads, or a few cans.

The natives are happy to exchange information.

They are too familiar with the local area, know how to effectively protect themselves, and monitor the movements of the Japanese army.

In just one day, information was continuously delivered to Colonel Edson.

And the most important piece of information is that the Japanese army was concentrated in the village of Tashimpok near Taiwujiao.

Colonel Edson immediately made a decision to conduct a surprise attack on the Japanese army at Taiwujiao!

This raid was completely unexpected by the Japanese army.

After only a short battle, the U.S. Marine Corps successfully occupied the village of Tahimpok and drove the Japanese army into the jungle.

This raid came so suddenly that the Japanese army failed to respond at all.

Tasimpoko Village was the main supply point for the Japanese army.

Here, the U.S. military seized a large number of stored food, ammunition, medical supplies and a powerful short-wave radio.

Tian Qi once again saw the wealth of the US military.

In addition to taking away a large number of documents and equipment, they burned all the supplies of the Japanese army.

Tian Qi looked distressed.

If these grains, ammunition, and medicines were captured by the Chinese army on the Chinese battlefield, it would be a fortune overnight.

However, the Americans burned it without blinking an eye.

From the beginning of the landing, the U.S. military has never considered the issue of logistical supplies.

Take Colonel Edson, for example, who drinks five cups of coffee a day.

On the day of landing, he lost his temper because the coffee he drank was not the brand he liked.

Therefore, the officer in charge of logistics promised that the colonel would have his favorite coffee within a few days!

The scene that made Tian Qi speechless soon appeared.

A transport ship appeared on time, and the first thing to be removed from the ship was a large amount of coffee.

The brand Colonel Edson liked.

The only task of these American military officers is how to command the war.

For others, as long as they make demands, the country will always find ways to satisfy them.

Tian Qi is a little sad.

When will our own country be able to do this too!

On the battlefield in China, the Japanese army was like a wealthy landlord with everything that one could expect.

The Chinese army is poor, and with the few supplies they have, they come to contend with a rich landlord!

But in front of the U.S. military, this scene happened to be reversed.

Colonel Edson quickly established his position on Ridge 123 after destroying the village of Tahimpok.

The Japanese immediately launched a counterattack.

However, with the support of powerful sea, land and air artillery fire from the US military, the Japanese army dropped more than 100 corpses, but failed to move forward.

From the beginning of the battle, Tian Qi has been following Colonel Edson.

Colonel Adelson is also full of praise for Tian Qi's excellent and effective intelligence work.

It's just that the current Tian Qi only pays attention to one point:
How do you complete your task?

What the hell is that damn Lieutenant Matsuoka Masahiko?

Where are his people now?
At least so far, the 2th Infantry Regiment of the 4nd Division of the Japanese Army has not appeared at all.

Tian Qi is not sure about capturing this Zhong Zuo alive.

Even, Tian Qi was on a mission, did Meng Shaoyuan deliberately punish himself there!
