Avenge the shame where you have been humiliated, and give the perpetrator one more slap in the face.
Douglas MacArthur!
Manila, this is MacArthur’s battle of revenge!
It was also a battle that MacArthur was confident of winning.
But obviously, this battle did not go smoothly.
The determination of the Japanese army to resist far exceeded MacArthur's imagination.
This group of Japanese people are carrying out the last and craziest resistance in various fortress positions that have been built long ago!
This also completely angered MacArthur.
He ordered the US military to bombard them with heavy artillery. The 155mm stray bullets stirred up thousands of feet of flames, and thick black smoke shot straight into the sky.
Manila suffered the largest and most horrific destruction in its history!
Americans invested a lot of manpower and material resources in Manila to build and develop the city.
And now, they are destroying it with their own hands!
A large number of artillery shells, while killing and injuring the Japanese, also killed a large number of locals in Manila!
No one cares anymore.
In a war, who would care about the lives of these civilians?
In the Battle of Manila, one US military unit performed very well.
That was the 6th Ranger Battalion commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Musi.
After they brilliantly completed the Cabanatuan rescue, in Manila, they also had an amazing performance.
They are always at the forefront of the U.S. military.
After their results were reported to the headquarters, even MacArthur said:
"When the war is over, I think I must meet these boys from the 6th Ranger Battalion!"
…
Wang Bin Street.
"This was once a bustling street with many Chinese living there. It was also the famous Chinatown in the Philippines."
Meng Shaoyuan stared ahead: "They are diligent, hardworking, and work hard every day, just to feed their families and let their families take root here.
Many of their families have lived here for generations, but when the Japanese came, everything changed. The wealth accumulated over generations was destroyed in one fell swoop.
But they still gritted their teeth and endured. They all said that the Chinese were the most able to endure hardships and the most forbearing nation, and they were the same. They always believe that as long as they survive the hardships, good times will come.
But when Iwabuchi issued the order to resist three times, for them, the nightmare really began! "
"Aren't they resisting?" Lieutenant Colonel Musi asked curiously.
"Resist, of course!" Meng Shaoyuan looked calm: "Chinese people will tolerate it, but when it comes to actually needing them to resist, they will come forward without hesitation!
Just over two months ago, the largest uprising broke out among the Chinese in Manila, centered on Wang Bin Street. They sacrificed their lives for justice and sang tragic songs generously.
Many of them died, but none of the remaining ones succumbed. "
"You and Peter are both Chinese, right?" Lieutenant Colonel Musi asked again.
We are, the real Chinese!
Meng Shaoyuan nodded silently.
Then, he cheered up and opened the drawing: "This is the weakest defense point on Wangbin Street. It is commanded by Second Lieutenant Yamaguchi, and the person commanding here is Lieutenant Oshima..."
Lieutenant Colonel Musi was a little surprised: "Are you so familiar with these commanders?"
Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Because they are all my subordinates."
"What?" Lieutenant Colonel Musi didn't understand at all.
"Not only am I the chief of the Japanese Army's secret service in Manila, I am also the commander of the Manila Army Security Corps."
Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "And opposite us are the Manila Security Forces!"
He then added: "When suppressing the Wangbin Street Uprising, even though they were at odds with the navy, these security forces still wielded the butcher's knife!"
Lieutenant Colonel Musi understood immediately: "Are you worried that this place will be destroyed?"
"I'm not worried because this place has been destroyed a long time ago. Now, it's nothing more than turning it into ruins."
At this moment, Meng Shaoyuan's voice was full of confidence: "Chinese people will feel sad that their homeland has been destroyed, but they believe even more that as long as people are still alive, they will be able to rebuild their homeland.
Now, opposite us, there are no Chinese anymore. What is left is just a group of beasts. Wait until this group of beasts is wiped out. I can make a bet with you that Wang Bin Street will be rebuilt in less than ten years, and the active people here will still be Chinese! "
"I won't bet with you, you will definitely lose." Lieutenant Colonel Musi muttered, and then said: "I will immediately call for artillery fire and bomb the weak points of the defense.
Charles, if you are lucky, I will ask you to lead the rangers and be the first to rush into Wangbin Street! "
In fact, Lieutenant Colonel Musi knew it well.
Since he once served as the commander of the Japanese security forces in Manila, "Charles" has the means to persuade the Japanese to surrender.
Just like when I was at Pagori School.
However, Charles did not mention the matter of surrender at all.
He was determined to wipe out the Japanese troops on the opposite side.
Now, it's time for me to repay Charles.
…
The shells roared overwhelmingly and hit the Japanese positions hard.
Like a heavy rainstorm.
Lieutenant Colonel Musi used a little "trick".
When he called for artillery support, he deliberately exaggerated the strength and firepower of the Japanese army on the opposite side.
He repeatedly emphasized that the ferocity of the Japanese resistance was something he had "never seen since entering Manila."
Therefore, the US military's artillery fire started bombing like crazy.
The artillerymen were convinced.
Because since the Battle of Manila broke out, the US military has long been aware of the beast-like resistance of the Japanese army.
Cannons are the best way to deal with them!
The Japanese troops on Wangbin Street encountered the most terrifying baptism of artillery fire.
This time, the US military was uncharacteristically different.
They didn't carry out any probing attacks. As soon as they came up, they directly launched a powerful artillery attack!
The Japanese soldiers in the position who were bombed fell on their backs and screamed endlessly.
Four or five Japanese troops were blown high into the sky. When they fell, they were already torn apart.
Some Japanese soldiers held their heads and huddled in the position, but after the bursts of explosive air waves passed, they had vomited blood and lay motionless on the ground.
The heroic souls of those Chinese people who died under their butcher knives did not go far, and were watching the fate of these beasts in the sky!
very nice!
There will always be someone to avenge them.
There will always be.
"Lieutenant Colonel." Meng Shaoyuan suddenly said: "I heard that you have received a new batch of fire-breathing equipment?"
"Ah, yes." Lieutenant Colonel Musi said with a smile: "There are also six flamethrowers. Charles, look, I am not familiar with these flamethrowers, maybe you are."
"I'm not familiar with it either." Meng Shaoyuan smiled brightly: "But soon I will be able to fully master how to use the fire-breathing soldiers."
The two men smiled alike.
By this time, the Rangers had assembled.
"Leave it to you, Charles, let all the monkeys on the opposite side die!"
