midnight.
"Gather!" Shimata and Hiiro gave the order with expressions on their faces. Nearly three hundred security forces were quickly assembled.
Shimado and Hiiro glanced at them, then waved their hands: "Let's go!" Several large trucks roared first.
The security forces followed the truck, trotting along. Meng Shaoyuan was standing at the window on the second floor. He watched these security forces disappear before his eyes.
After he finished smoking a cigarette, he turned around calmly, walked to his desk, and picked up the phone: "This is Shibu Taniguchi. I request to speak to Commander Iwabuchi immediately. What, the Commander has already fallen asleep? I Got it." He put down the phone, smoked another cigarette, and then walked out slowly.
We drove all the way to the Manila Defense Headquarters, got out of the car, and rushed in with three steps at a time.
"Quick, I need to see the Commander. It's an emergency."
"Wait a moment." After waiting at the door for almost ten minutes, the adjutant came out and said, "Your Excellency, the commander, has agreed to see you."
"Your Excellency, Commander." Meng Shaoyuan gasped after seeing Iwabuchi three times: "Something happened. Not long ago, Shimata and Hiiro suddenly gathered a large number of troops and set off to an unknown destination!"
"Really?" Iwabuchi frowned three times.
"I couldn't get through by calling you, so I had no choice but to come here in person." After Meng Shaoyuan finished speaking, he looked at the time. It was already one o'clock in the morning.
...Several soldiers guarding the arsenal have been controlled. The attack came very suddenly. Initially, it was the commander of the Manila Security Forces, Shimado Kazuhiro, who appeared in a car with several soldiers.
The Japanese troops guarding the arsenal were completely unprepared.
"I was ordered to take over this arsenal!" Shimata and Hiiro said coldly. The sergeant leading the team was startled: "Ah, I want to ask the commander for instructions."
"No need." Shimata and Hiiro said coldly: "It's too late. The Commander has already fallen asleep. You can check with him again at dawn."
"But, Your Excellency, this is our rule." After the sergeant finished speaking, he suddenly saw the Japanese soldiers behind Shimado and Hiiro, raising their guns and pointing them at him.
He and his men had no time to react. At this time, suddenly a large number of soldiers appeared along with several trucks!
... Iwabuchi made several calls three times in a row, but he was never able to figure out the true purpose of Shimada and Hiiro.
The phone on the desk rang, and Iwabuchi picked it up three times. When he put down the phone, his expression became very ugly: "Arsenal No. 5!"
"What?" Meng Shaoyuan just pretended that he didn't know anything and looked at a loss.
"There, trucks and a large number of armed soldiers appeared!"
"Shimata and Hiiro want to hijack the arsenal?"
"Yes!" Iwabuchi looked extremely ugly three times: "Taniguchi, go back immediately and continue to monitor the security forces."
"Hai, Commander, you must be careful and bring more people with you."... Large quantities of arms were loaded onto trucks and then roared away.
Shimado and Hiiro were very satisfied. With this batch of arms, I have the confidence to continue to hold on.
Damn the Navy Red Deer, they have so many weapons, but they just refuse to let the army use them. A car and a truck were coming at speed.
finally come. Shimata and Hiiro sneered inwardly. The cars and trucks stopped, and dozens of Japanese soldiers surrounded Iwabuchi three times, coming here menacingly.
"Your Excellency, Commander, it's so late, what are you doing here?" Iwabuchi never thought for the third time that Shimata and Hiiro would dispatch so many soldiers.
"How big is the island? I also want to ask you, what are you doing here!" Iwabuchi tried to keep his tone calmer three times.
"I'm here to take over the arsenal." Shimada and Hiiro looked at each other directly: "I can't let my soldiers fight the Americans with bare hands!"
"What a leftist island there is." Iwabuchi endured it for the third time, and his voice suddenly rose: "All weapons and ammunition in Manila are for specified purposes. Do you want to mutiny by hijacking the arsenal?"
"Your Excellency, Commander, please pay attention to your words." Shimada and Hiiro refused to give in at all: "I have to consider my soldiers, and I will not let their blood and sacrifice be in vain. The weapons and ammunition here do not belong only to the navy. The Army also has the right to use it. You refuse to provide us with supplies. I really doubt your intentions!" Knock it off!
This is a rake of Chi Guoguo! Shimado and Hiiro were aggressive: "If Commander-in-Chief feels that I have done something wrong, you can appeal to Yamashita-dono. I am willing to accept all the consequences!" Iwabuchi briefly analyzed the current situation three times.
Most of the weapons and ammunition were transported away by them. The last truck, mortars and artillery shells were also neatly stacked.
It is absolutely impossible to ask them to hand it over to the army. Moreover, the other side was obviously well prepared. If there was a conflict with so many soldiers, the only one who would suffer would be himself.
Furthermore, I really need these security forces to help defend Manila! With this breath, I can only swallow it in my stomach today.
"How left-wing Shima is, I reserve my opinion on your actions today." Iwabuchi may have wanted to save some face for himself: "I will protest to Commander Yamashita."
"Okay, that's your right!" Shimado and Hiiro watched the last truck leave, contentedly: "If nothing happens, I will go back to rest. You should also pay attention to your health, Commander." Looking at Shima Tawahiro and his troops left in a big way, and Iwabuchi's eyes were full of anger three times: "Haga!"
"Your Excellency, Commander, these Army Red Deers are so arrogant." His assistant, Jing Chong Shaozuo, couldn't stand it anymore: "They actually hijacked the arsenal openly, what else can't they do? If the law is enforced this time, Give them punishment, and I believe that similar things will happen again." Punishment?
How to punish? These are extraordinary times, and the base camp has given up on Manila. Let alone hijacking the arsenal, even if there was a fire incident between the army and navy, the base camp would turn a deaf ear.
They are all a bunch of outcasts! Iwabuchi suppressed his anger three times: "The defense of Manila depends on these security forces. I hope they can do their duty after getting this batch of arms. Order the rest of the arsenals to be on guard. No one is allowed to approach without my order. , if you encounter a forced intrusion, you can take the lead in firing!"
"Hai!" Jing Chong Shaozuo sighed inwardly. This time, both Mr. Iwabuchi and the army were completely defeated.
These damn army red deer! Iwabuchi stared blankly into the distance three times. The Americans haven't invaded yet, but something like this has happened inside Manila, and he is sure that the confrontation will become more serious in the future!
