The so-called "Fighting Manila" organization is actually extremely harmful.
In the name of so-called freedom and democracy, it deceives the people, makes money wantonly, and deceives male and female believers.
And once a dangerous moment comes, organizers will often run away as soon as possible.
Just like the Dalton in front of me.
He relied on deceptive slogans to gain support from many people.
With the money obtained through deception, he was already ready to escape.
And when Russ killed a Japanese officer, he knew this was a big deal.
Once "Battle Manila" is involved, it's all over.
Therefore, he did not hesitate and took advantage of the arrival of the "Awa Maru" to immediately implement the plan he had prepared long ago.
escape!
He almost succeeded.
Unfortunately, he met someone:
Meng Shaoyuan!
He saw through this man at a glance.
"Fighting Manila" is not a large and prestigious organization. Although Dalton is quite capable of making money, he was able to extract such a huge sum of money from such a poor believer.
But with Dalton's arrest, many unsolved crimes were implicated in him.
This is just a small episode.
But the moment Dalton was taken away, a plan suddenly appeared in Meng Shaoyuan's mind.
Maybe, you can use this person?
Many times, Meng Shaoyuan's plans were improvised without any warning in advance.
And when this plan suddenly appeared in my mind, all that was left was how to perfect it bit by bit.
The unlucky Dalton probably never dreamed that not only could he not escape, but he would become a pawn in someone else's plan.
It started to rain again.
Even the locals are fed up with the rainy season in the Philippines.
The sky finally cleared up in the morning, and I saw the sun that I rarely saw for several days. But in the blink of an eye, the rain fell mercilessly.
Although the rainy season hindered the US military's offensive on Leite Island, it was undoubtedly a torture for those waiting to board the ship at the Manila port.
Umbrellas and raincoats can play a minimal role.
It was a November day, with the rain raging, and it was bone-chillingly cold.
Some people were shivering from the cold.
In order to ensure that they can reach the ship without delay, most people arrive early in the morning.
Cold, hungry, and tired.
Many people have reached their limits, both physically and mentally.
But they are still struggling to hold on.
There was no movement at all on the sea.
This also made them start to feel guilty.
Will the "Awa Maru" encounter any problems?
At this time, news came from nowhere that the Japanese 16th Kyoto Division on Laite Island had suffered a disastrous defeat under the U.S. offensive.
The captain of the 20th Regiment was killed by a U.S. naval gun, and the entire Third Infantry Brigade was "shattered to pieces."
This news made the already anxious atmosphere even more tense.
The Japanese are afraid that after a while, the US military will hit them.
"Your Mightiness!"
At this time, Takuma Shintani also arrived at the port with his people.
"Our top-secret information in the Philippines will be transported back to Japan with the 'Awa Maru' this time, and I will personally escort it to the port."
As soon as he saw Meng Shaoyuan and Xilianjima, Takuma Shintani said: "After the cargo of the 'Awa Maru' is completed, the information will be put on board as soon as possible."
"clear!"
Serian Temple then asked cautiously: "Your Excellency, I heard that the Americans have begun to give up attacking on Laite Island again? This is the rainy season."
His question was already rather vague.
Takuma Shintani still heard what he meant, and after being silent for a while, he said: "You are all senior leaders of various departments, and I can tell you the truth about some things.
At present, the rumors in Manila are basically true, and we don’t know where this information was leaked from.
The Americans ignored the rainy season, and with the support of artillery fire from the sea, the 3rd Infantry Battalion of the 16th Division was completely destroyed. Our troops have moved to the Dagami and Buri lines, and Dulag has fallen into the hands of the US military.
What is even more unfortunate is that Dagami, where the headquarters of our 16th Division is located, has also fallen. "
Everyone was stunned when they heard it.
Dagami is the core of the Japanese army's inland decisive battle support line. It is well fortified and is now captured by the US military. This means that the depth of the southern line of Laite Island has been exposed to direct attack by the US military.
During the fierce fighting on the southern front, the Japanese troops on the northern front also fell into passivity.
The Japanese troops holding on to the northern front were completely incapable of the offensive of the 1st Cavalry Division and the 24th Infantry Division of the US Army, and were retreating steadily.
At this point, most of Laite Island has been controlled by the US military.
As for "Duetou Ridge", which has high hopes for the Japanese military's top brass, the situation is not optimistic either.
Here, the Japanese army arranged the first division with the strongest combat effectiveness to hold on.
The Japanese army also planned to launch a counterattack while the First Division held on.
However, since the Japanese reinforcements arrived in batches, it was difficult to form a joint force, let alone launch an attack, and even defend.
"Why has the situation gotten so bad?" Xilian Temple's real face looked a little ugly: "If Duan Tou Ridge is lost again, not only will it be difficult for our First Division to retreat, but even the retreat of the 102nd Division on the flank will be blocked. Completely cut off!
If Laite Island is lost, what will happen to the entire Luzon Island? "
"These are not things we should consider." Takuma Shintani looked serious: "Everyone, do your own thing well, and leave the rest to the military."
Although his expression was serious, his eyes met with Meng Shaoyuan's, and the passion of victory flashed in their eyes.
Suddenly, there was a burst of cheers from the port.
The huge figure of the "Awa Maru" with its huge hull began to appear in sight.
While waiting there, the Japanese expatriates who were originally exhausted also got up one after another.
Some people screamed and yelled desperately, and some people even squatted on the ground and cried loudly.
After waiting here for so long, I finally got hope.
Some people were eager to push forward, but they were immediately blocked and even beaten by the military police.
The "Awa Maru" finally docked slowly at the port.
The Philippines has been besieged until now, and the "Awa Maru" is the only ship that can deliver supplies here.
"Let's go."
Takuma Shintani gave an order, and several senior leaders followed him towards the dock.
"Report!"
At this moment, a man came running quickly.
River City Taisho!
Takuma Shintani nodded to him expressionlessly: "Come with us."
At this time, the "Awa Maru" stopped and quickly started unloading the goods.
Food, ammunition.
Although not much, it can bring some hope to the Japanese army in Manila.
At least, Japan has not given up on itself so far. Maybe the empire still has hope for a comeback!
