Because the flashlight focuses light, the light will be concentrated into a range.
As long as the light is not directed directly at the goods, it is difficult for people far away to see what is outside the range of light.
In this way, although the lighting is not ideal when everyone is transporting goods, the impact on unloading is actually very limited.
But the people waiting far away on the top of the mountain felt a little uncomfortable.
"Nathan, what do we do now? We can't even see what they're transporting?
Should we do it now or later? "
Now Nathan is also beginning to feel awkward.
What they were concerned about was not the Japanese, but the people who were responsible for delivering the goods.
After all, when the other side was clearing out the dock, they had already displayed their most direct weapons, and they were all submachine guns.
...
...
The bearded Folke Pinto was an impatient man, and when he saw Nathan he seemed a little indecisive.
He slapped his thigh and said:
“These damn bastards must have done this on purpose.
I will arrange two people to go in and take a look now."
After hearing what the bearded Folke Pinto said, Nathan nodded. Now he could only try this method.
In fact, Nathan also thought that the other party deliberately turned off the lights to transport the goods, maybe they were transporting the goods they least wanted to see.
That is, arms.
But he couldn't see it at all now, so he couldn't be sure.
After all, no matter what goods are transported to this island, no one would obviously want others to find out.
He could also understand the delivery man and the Japanese behavior of turning off the lights.
After thinking for a long time, Nathan was still not at ease, and said to the bearded Falk Pinto:
“It’s really too passive for us to just sit here and wait.
It was completely dark now, so we didn't have to worry about the other party discovering us.
It would be better to just get closer to them.
We will make plans after the investigators confirm the type of the other party’s goods.”
The bearded man certainly had no objection to this and stood up and said:
“Okay, we’ll just surround them, no matter what their cargo is.
As soon as the delivery guys leave, we'll start right away."
Then he turned around and began to ask everyone to quietly move towards the dock.
As time passed, two spies who were assigned to check the situation near the dock discovered that there were Japanese on guard not far away when they were still three or four hundred meters away from the dock.
The two looked at each other and both felt a headache, but since they had come this far, there was no way they could retreat.
I could only lie on the ground and crawl forward little by little.
I had just crawled less than twenty meters when I heard shouting from the other side.
The Japanese started lighting torches not far ahead!
Light up the entire pier in a semicircle.
To enter the dock, you must pass through this circle of torches.
Needless to say, both of them knew that there must be a large number of Japanese lying in ambush behind the circle of torches.
As long as it is exposed to light, the exploration mission will fail.
The light from the torches was more than three hundred meters away from the pier.
It was impossible to see the situation at the dock clearly with the light from these torches.
On the contrary, because of the blocking of light from the torches, the dock seemed a little darker.
The two could only retreat helplessly.
The torches that suddenly lit up here also attracted the attention of Folke Pinto and others who were approaching.
Everyone stopped involuntarily to avoid being discovered by the other party.
When Nathan saw this situation, he knew that the method of checking by touching it from the front would definitely not work.
He looked up at the semicircular line of fire and said directly to Falk Pinto:
“Now we can only approach from the sea.
Is there anyone among us who can swim that far?"
"Yes, I'll arrange it now."
The bearded man also understood that this was the only way now.
He turned around and began to arrange people to approach from the sea.
Although July is winter in the southern hemisphere.
But Fernando de Noronha is not far from the equator.
Therefore, the sea water temperature is still more than ten degrees, so going into the sea will not have much impact.
Soon, two people walked out of the team and began to go into the sea from farther away, approaching the pier.
As time passed, the two people who swam across the sea were about to approach the cargo ship.
The cargo on the ship was finally unloaded.
Davis Barry and Vox came to the neatly stacked crates and motioned to Mizuno Nobuyoshi to inspect the goods.
Mizuno Xinyi was not polite and picked up a crowbar to pry open a crate.
With the help of the flashlight, he saw the five rifles neatly stacked inside and was overjoyed.
Davis Barry, who was standing by, casually used his flashlight to illuminate several boxes of different sizes and said:
"This is a rifle, this is a submachine gun, that is a grenade, and those are bullets.
If you are sure everything is OK, we will withdraw."
Mizuno Xinyi hadn't reacted yet, he just nodded with satisfaction and said:
"No problem, thank you very much for your help."
But it was these few flashes of flashlight that allowed Nathan to see the neatly arranged crates from a distance.
I was shocked and felt cold all over.
He shouted to Falk Pinto beside him:
"Damn, that's all munitions.
Quick, rush up!
These little Japs must not be allowed to obtain weapons.
Otherwise we are all doomed.”
Hearing Nathan's sudden shout, everyone who was still quietly lurking and waiting for the result was frightened.
Whether seen or not,
Everyone was shocked to hear the news.
The bearded Falk Pinto at the side jumped up and shouted:
"Charge...Everyone, charge at me...
Quick…quick…
Whoever grabs it first...it belongs to him."
The originally peaceful jungle suddenly became restless.
Like a powder keg that was ignited in an instant, it exploded with a bang.
Countless figures rushed out from the darkness and passed the circle of warning torches set up by the Japanese.
The Japanese, who had been hiding behind the circle of torches, were nervous for a long time but did not see any movement from the enemy.
I have let my guard down a bit.
No one expected that the situation would suddenly take a turn for the worse.
Countless enemies rushed into the range of torches like mad beasts, howling.
The sudden change caught people off guard.
In the blink of an eye, countless figures met in the darkness, stones were flying in the sky, and the dark night made it impossible for people to defend themselves.
Just one contact resulted in countless people being beaten to blood on both sides.
The bushes were full of people fighting each other.
Some people even ignored the Japanese's obstruction and entanglement and rushed towards the dock.
Various sounds such as "ao", "oh", "oh", and "ah" came out of his mouth.
The jungle that exploded in an instant obviously attracted the attention of both parties who were inspecting the goods.
The moment Mizuno Nobuyoshi heard the noise, his whole body shuddered.
He quickly called the Japanese waiting nearby to come over and receive their equipment.
But he was grabbed by Vox beside him and shouted:
"Please sign to confirm receipt first, otherwise you can't take it away."
At this time, Mizuno Nobuyoshi was so angry that he wanted to kick down this bastard who was still holding him back at the critical moment.
But seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, he had no choice but to shout:
"I'll sign now. Please let my people come in to get their equipment."
Vox didn't say much, just took out a list and handed a pen to the other party.
Mizuno Nobuyoshi signed without hesitation.
After Vox confirmed the other party's signature, he shouted loudly to the people around him:
"Brothers, let's retreat and hand this place over to the Japanese."
Mizuno Nobuyoshi also shouted in Japanese:
“Everyone, come and get your equipment.
Quick...quick...that's a rifle over here and a submachine gun over there.
The bullet is over there!
Quick...quick...those who have weapons, go over and provide support."
Vox's men were evacuating the dock with guns in hand, while the Japanese who were preparing to receive guns were desperately trying to squeeze onto the dock.
For a moment, the dock was in chaos.
Girard and others were knocked all over the place.
Some Japanese wanted to snatch weapons from them and join the battle.
This is like poking trouble in Ma Feng's nest. Several gangsters don't care who you are and want to steal my gun.
Just a shuttle.
In an instant, the dock became even more chaotic.
It can also be seen from here that Mizuno Nobuyoshi has no experience in leading troops at all.
He himself panicked the moment the chaos occurred.
He had not realized that his own men greatly outnumbered the other side, and that even if the enemy could break through the defenses, they would not be able to reach the dock so quickly.
They failed to maintain order at the scene and assigned someone to unpack weapons and distribute ammunition.
Instead, all the Japanese swarmed onto the dock.
This exacerbated the chaos at the dock and caused people like Vox, who were eager to evacuate, to raise their guns at anyone who tried to stop them.
Second, he did not think about asking those who received weapons to establish a new line of defense.
Instead, they let those who received weapons go forward to provide support directly, which is also obviously a wrong approach.
Because of the lighting problem, rushing into the darkness with weapons at this time will not actually solve any problems.
Instead, it will minimize the advantage of having weapons.
Anyone with a little military common sense would not make such a stupid decision.
Vox's men were big and strong, and they had submachine guns. After shooting and killing several people,
No one continued to approach them desperately.
Allow them to escape in time.
When everyone was evacuated from the ship, Vox ordered his men to turn on the ship's lighting.
After counting the number of people and finding that everyone was present, he gave the order to sail without hesitation.
Stay away from the messy docks.
Perhaps it was because of the light from the ship that the Japanese at the dock finally didn't have to continue searching in the dark.
Soon several people had found the rifles and matching weapons.
He began to run towards the battlefield where fighting was taking place in the distance.
But as soon as they stepped off the dock, everyone realized that something was wrong.
Because in the pitch-black night, no one could distinguish between friend and foe.
They didn't dare to shoot at random for fear of hurting their own people by mistake.
Just when they were at a loss, Kobayashi Hisasaku's voice came from the darkness ahead:
"Baga! Why are you here?"
Those who were selected for the armed team all knew that Kobayashi Hisasaku was their chief instructor.
So, as soon as I heard the other person's voice, I instantly found my backbone.
A panting Japanese voice said in the darkness:
"Kobayashi-kun, it was Lord Mizuno who asked our people who had obtained weapons to rush over to support us."
Kobayashi Hisasaku was also confused and said bluntly:
"Baga! This idiot,
This is a stupid order.
You must immediately establish a new line of defense near the dock.
No one can be allowed near the dock.
Quick, tell Mr. Mizuno my opinion."
In the dark night, several people didn't know who to listen to.
There was a conflict between the leader's orders and the chief instructor's orders, but the person in front of them was the chief instructor, so of course they could not directly disobey his orders.
They could only nod their heads.
"Hayi! Haiyi!"
Take the order and turn around.
These guys were smart enough to pass on Kobayashi Hisasaku's orders while turning around.
The crowd that rushed down the dock behind the few people also followed them back to the dock to set up a defense line.
