"What about the Americans?"
Iwate Shin grabbed a surrendering guerrilla and asked fiercely.
This unlucky guy is Neil who was left behind.
He was glad that he surrendered in time and did not die.
But when I think about the years to come, I can’t help but start to become depressed:
"They went to receive airdrops of supplies."
Airdrop of supplies?
Nonsense!
When did Americans airdrop supplies in the Philippines?
But regardless of whether Iwate really threatened to beat him or not, Neil always said this.
"It looks like the Americans ran away."
Meng Shaoyuan called aside Iwate Shinwa, the young leftist who commanded the Japanese army: "Once the gunshots are fired, the Americans will never come back under any circumstances. We can only capture and kill a few guerrillas. How should we write this report?" "
Neither Iwate Zhen nor Shao Zuo spoke.
Meng Shaoyuan then said calmly: "In this operation, we killed a total of fifty-seven guerrillas, including two American commanders, and captured eight people. What do you think?"
Iwate Zhen and Shaozuo suddenly had smiles on their faces.
This is Chi Guoguo's false report of military exploits.
The two of them knew it well, and Shaozuo said immediately: "Yes, I can only achieve such great military exploits because of your leadership!"
Several people looked at each other and smiled.
"Something happened." At this moment, the officer in charge of receiving the telegram hurried over and said: "There have been many assassinations in Manila, and our No. 4 granary in Manila has also been burned down!"
…
Several trucks stopped.
It was loaded with food.
"Unload the goods, unload the goods!"
the overseer shouted at the top of his lungs.
Gan Ning and Shang Heng immediately stepped forward and shouldered the sack vigorously.
The Japanese army was short of troops, and there were only a few Japanese soldiers guarding Granary No. 4.
The main work is all supervised by Fei Cheng.
Bag after bag of grain was carried in.
Under Shang Heng's cover, Gan Ning dodged inside and hid behind a pile of grain.
He took out a wine bottle from his pocket and opened it. The pungent smell of gasoline came from inside.
He poured the gasoline evenly on the grain.
Shang Heng, who was in charge of surveillance outside, also took out the wine bottle from his pocket, put it on the ground, and kicked it in with his foot.
Two jugs of gasoline were poured onto the grain.
Gan Ning took out a match and lit it, and the fire started.
Gan Ning walked out calmly.
At this time, the fire was covered by mountains of food and could not be noticed for a while.
"It's on fire!"
Suddenly, someone exclaimed.
The fire was finally discovered.
"It's on fire, run! If you don't run, you'll all die here!"
Originally, if the fire was put out in time at this time, the fire could still be controlled.
But Gan Ning and Shang Heng started to howl loudly.
These workers, who have never seen anything in the world, panicked and ran away when they were shouted out like this.
"Don't run, don't run!"
The overseer shouted at the top of his lungs.
"winter"!
The overseer fell to the ground.
Gan Ning threw the hammer and shouted again: "Run quickly!"
The granary quickly fell into chaos.
The Japanese soldiers standing guard outside saw the group of workers running out desperately and shouting "fire". They didn't know what was going on inside, but it was absolutely impossible for them to go in!
Just like that, the fire that could have been put out became completely uncontrollable.
…
Asada died and Granary No. 4 was burned down, but this was only the beginning of chaos in Manila!
Similar incidents have been happening across Manila since early morning.
Japanese nationals were being assassinated one after another.
From time to time, bombs were dropped on Japanese residents or a certain club.
Originally, the security of Manila was handled by the Gendarmerie.
But at least more than half of the gendarmerie's strength was drawn out to wipe out the guerrillas.
Even just an hour ago, an explosion occurred not far from the Gendarmerie Headquarters.
Takuma Shintani, who was in charge of the Military Police, immediately issued the order:
Stick to the military police headquarters and do not attack until the troops who destroyed the guerrillas return to avoid greater losses!
Masaharu Honma also called Takuma Shintani directly to ask if reinforcements were needed.
"No need, Your Excellency, Commander." Takuma Shintani said with certainty: "I think it is just a small amount of damage and the situation is completely controllable. There is no need for the army to attack, so as not to cause greater panic and be used by the rioters."
Masaharu Honma trusted Takuma Shintani very much, so when he saw what he said, he didn’t persist!
…
"time up!"
Fazheng looked at his watch: "Retreat!"
After saying that, he took out a stack of leaflets and threw them into the sky!
…
The gunshots and explosions that had been coming one after another stopped in an instant.
It was as if nothing had happened.
It was eerily quiet.
Flyers all over the place.
Someone picked one up fearfully.
What was written on it was nothing more than some propaganda and mobilization slogans.
But apart from the leaflets dropped by US military planes, this was the first time such a thing had happened in Manila.
Suddenly, a loud cry came.
The cry in the voice was obviously in Japanese!
…
"This attack happened very suddenly." On the phone, Xingu Tamahui reported: "Currently, the rioters have stopped attacking and order is being restored."
"Where's the loss?" Masaharu Honma asked on the other end of the phone.
"According to preliminary statistics, fourteen Japanese overseas Chinese were killed and several were injured. Moreover, Warehouse No. 4 was burned down." Takuma Shintani said in a serious tone: "In addition, several clubs were bombed. The specific losses are still being further calculated. middle."
"This is organized." Masaharu Honma sounded a little annoyed: "At the critical moment of defending Manila, such a vicious incident happened. This is intolerable.
I can confirm that the rioters are still hiding in Manila, and they must all be captured, life or death! "
"Yes, your Excellency, Commander." Shintani Takuma said calmly: "The team that exterminated the guerrillas will be back soon. I will issue an order as soon as possible for them to launch a manhunt throughout Manila."
The phone was hung up.
"Is there any cigarette?"
Takuma Shintani, who doesn't smoke much, suddenly asked.
Kageyama Nosuke hurriedly took out the cigarette, handed it over, and lit it.
Takuma Shintani took a sip: "Interesting."
"Yes, it's very interesting." Kageyama Nosuke said: "Taniguchi took advantage of the opportunity to eliminate the guerrillas and took advantage of the situation to come to Manila like this. This will make Manila's already unstable people's hearts even more chaotic.
Especially those Japanese overseas Chinese, from this day on, they will live in chaos, and fear will haunt them all the time. "
"This guy can always do unexpected things at unexpected times." Takuma Shintani put out the cigarette he had taken a few puffs on: "Then let's cooperate with him and continue to put on a good show in Manila. Order, all personnel must Get involved in the capture operation!”
