June 10, 1942, night.
Seeing no Japanese soldiers appear on the coastline, Zheng Hailin cursed from the command room, "These little devils, they're all aiming for the wrong people! They're not even coming to their deaths!!"
Lin Feng replied calmly, "The Japanese aren't all fools. They're waiting, waiting for us to run out of weapons and ammunition, waiting for the perfect opportunity!"
"Hehe!!" Shen Chunhua's laughter came from the side, clearly he had also seen through the Japanese devils' thoughts: "These bastards are definitely up to no good!"
"Chairman, the Japanese aren't attacking anymore, so doesn't that mean our 'nails' are useless?" Hu Qingfeng asked, frustrated.
"Heh! You're really stupid!" Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, a confident smile on his face. "Don't forget, we still have a trump card, that's the Japanese devils' nightmare—"
Zheng Hailin, Shen Chunhua, and others were a little confused.
"What's your trump card?"
"Yeah, what other trump cards do you have up your sleeve?"
"That can't be right, I don't remember it at all!"
"President, please stop keeping us in suspense."
...
Listening to his subordinates' chatter, Lin Feng smiled without saying a word. His gaze turned to the dark, inky sea in the distance. At this moment, the sky was full of stars, and the bright moon hung high in the sky, exuding a cool and quiet atmosphere, adding a touch of mystery and eeriness to the dark and cold sea.
After observing for a moment, he finally spoke: "This trump card is—me!"
"President?" The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
“That’s right.” Lin Feng raised his right arm and beckoned with his index finger toward the northeast: “Just think about it, if the Japanese knew I was on the island, do you think they would go crazy and come to kill me? Hahaha!”
Everyone suddenly realized what was going on, and they all gave a thumbs up, exclaiming, "President, your move was absolutely insidious and ruthless!"
"To retreat in order to advance, to go against the grain—brilliant, brilliant!"
"Yeah, how come I didn't think of that?"
Zheng Hailin slapped his forehead and said in frustration, "If the Japanese knew that the chairman of the Democratic League was on the island, they would definitely launch a crazy attack."
Lin Feng stroked his chin smugly and said in a serious tone, "I call this putting myself in a desperate situation to survive. Only by drawing the Japanese devils' attention to me can our mission as 'nails' be considered successfully completed."
Zheng Hailin nodded, expressing deep sympathy. He couldn't help but say, "Alas, those poor Japanese devils! They didn't even realize they were being used by our chairman. They were still smugly thinking they had victory in their grasp. Little did they know, our chairman had no intention of playing a head-on game with them. Instead, he was going to play psychological warfare with them and ultimately make those damned Japanese devils suffer terribly!"
"The president is wise." Everyone applauded again, looking at him with admiration.
"Don't praise me." Lin Feng waved his hand and then stubbed out his cigarette. "I'll rest for a while and recharge my energy."
"Hu Qingfeng, I'm leaving the matter of the plaintext telegram to you."
"Don't worry, Chairman." Hu Qingfeng agreed, then picked up his pen and quickly wrote down the secret telegram.
After writing the coded telegram, Hu Qingfeng handed the telegram paper to the messenger.
The communications soldier immediately sent a coded telegram to northern Vietnam, deliberately letting the Japanese army know that their leader was on the island.
Respected officers and soldiers, dear warriors:
Today, I come to Awaji Island with the utmost respect and gratitude, to stand shoulder to shoulder with you and face this difficult yet glorious period together.
As the president of the China Democratic League, on behalf of all the people, I extend my highest respect and sincerest gratitude to you!
On this land, you stand guard day and night, risking your lives to defend our homeland and freedom.
You are the strongest shield of our motherland and the only symbol of the indomitable spirit of our nation.
At this moment, I know that each of you is enduring hardships and trials that are unimaginable to ordinary people, but you have never backed down and have always defended our dignity with perseverance and fearlessness.
That is why I am here today not only for inspection, but also to solemnly promise everyone: we are not fighting alone. No matter how rugged the road ahead or how fierce the enemy, we will fight side by side and face every challenge together.
I will do everything in my power to provide you with the strongest support, and stand with you through thick and thin, through life and death.
We are currently facing unprecedented challenges from the land of cherry blossoms, who are trying to shake our faith and occupy our homeland, but we will never yield.
This war was not merely a contest of weapons and strength, but also a battle of wills and beliefs.
At this critical moment, we need to strengthen our confidence, unite as one, meet every enemy with wisdom and courage, and overcome every difficulty with solidarity and cooperation.
Comrades, please remember: the safety of the nation and its people rests on our shoulders; only by working together can the military and the people be invincible.
Here I solemnly promise you all that no matter how many difficulties or challenges lie ahead, I, Lin Feng, will always stand with you, share your fate, and strive for glory together!
Let us join hands and fight to defeat the Japanese invaders and bring peace and tranquility to our motherland as soon as possible! May victory come soon! May glory belong to us!
Thank you everyone!
Lin Feng, Chairman of the China Democratic League
……………………
This secret telegram was short, containing only a few hundred words, yet it was filled with boundless power and passion. It would spread like a plague throughout the Southeast Asian peninsula and the Japanese-occupied territories.
"What?!"
"Lin Feng, the chairman of the China Democratic League, is on the island???"
Inside the meeting room, Tojo Umetoku held the intercepted telegram, somewhat bewildered, but also a little excited.
