Meng Shaoyuan is a person who likes barbecue.
It’s not that I like eating, but I like watching the barbecue process.
Although Meng Shaoyuan is a person who loves his country very much, he has to admit that China is not the best barbecue maker in the world.
Instead:
USA!
This is an undisputed fact.
For example, "Li Mei BBQ"!
Who can deny that Li Mei Barbecue Chef has the greatest barbecue in the world?
Curtis LeMay, the barbecue master who dropped thousands of tons of incendiary bombs on Tokyo, completely shut up the Japanese who clamored that "100 million people will be crushed", and turned Tokyo into a dead city.
If there are "amazing Americans" recognized by Meng Shaoyuan, then there is no doubt that Li Mei is one of them.
He remembered two famous sayings by Li Mei:
"The Japanese army is just a bunch of boneless worms with a stomach-churning stubbornness!"
Of course, there are also the sonorous and powerful words Li Mei said later when faced with doubts and accusations:
"Killing Japanese doesn't disturb me, what disturbs me is the end of the war. So I don't care how many Japanese die."
How well said.
Li Mei's actions also verified his statement.
Even on the day Japan announced its surrender, he still dispatched 831 bombers and dropped thousands of tons of incendiary bombs on Tokyo.
However, what is ridiculous is that after Japan surrendered, Li Mei was awarded the highest level of the "First Class Medal of the Rising Sun".
Li Mei looked at the medal and responded disdainfully: "It is not as important as the Patriotic War Medal awarded by the Soviet Union."
Meng Shaoyuan liked this American.
Meng Shaoyuan never had the chance to see "Li Mei BBQ".
But on Wangbin Street in Manila, he saw another feast:
BBQ feast!
The flamethrower spits out streams of flames.
In an instant, the Japanese position turned into a sea of flames.
Those hiding in the dilapidated fortress are considered "lucky" because the oxygen in the fortress is consumed in the blink of an eye.
They were suffocated to death.
As for those in the position, they jumped out of the position wailing, their whole bodies covered with flames.
They let out desperate cries.
Some American troops who couldn't bear to see them gave them a bullet. This was the greatest kindness to the Japanese army.
Meng Shaoyuan watched with gusto.
Brothers who died on the battlefield in China, heroes of the war of resistance in heaven, please open your eyes and take a look!
Look at the fate of these beasts!
Just as Meng Shaoyuan was about to order a new round of fire offensive, he discovered to his dismay:
The battle here is over.
damn it.
Except for those who were suffocated, burned, and beaten to death, the Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough to be alive no longer resisted!
Waste, waste!
Meng Shaoyuan cursed in his heart.
He couldn't directly order these surrendering guys to be shot!
In the Battle of Wangbin Street, the 6th Ranger Battalion eliminated the frontal enemy at a very low cost.
Such results made Meng Shaoyuan, who commanded the US military for the first time, couldn't help but feel proud.
"Major, major."
"What's up?"
"There is a military reporter who wants to interview us."
"reporter?"
Meng Shaoyuan frowned: "William, go deal with the reporters."
"Why?" Lieutenant William was puzzled: "You are the highest officer here."
"I don't like to be interviewed." Meng Shaoyuan replied perfunctorily: "To be honest, I'm afraid of dealing with those reporters."
He won't give interviews.
What if my photo is published in the newspaper and someone discovers it? Isn’t this the dead Meng Shaoyuan?
Why was he resurrected in the US military?
There will be a lot of troubles ahead.
The one who came to interview was York, the military reporter sent by the Washington Post.
And he was asked to come by General MacArthur.
"General MacArthur told me that I should interview the boys of the Sixth Cavalry Battalion." York said straight to the point: "He said that these boys successfully rescued more than 700 American prisoners of war, and after recapturing Manila During the war, always stay on the front line!"
As he said that, he also noticed the tragic situation on the battlefield and couldn't help but frown: "Is this a fire?"
"I, we used flamethrowers." Lieutenant William, chewing gum, said nonchalantly: "Fortunately, all those who died were Japanese."
York frowned: "You said they were burned alive?"
"Oh, no, part of it was suffocated."
"Lieutenant, don't you think it's too cruel?"
"Cruel?" Lieutenant William's face showed obvious displeasure: "You say we are cruel? In Bataan, 15,000 American prisoners of war were tortured to death, Mr. Reporter, a total of 15,000!
In Cabanatu, I saw with my own eyes how those Japanese bastards treated our prisoners of war. Do you know what Ward Zero is? That's not a ward, that's where prisoners are left to die.
God, why do I have to tell you so much? Enough, there can be cruelty on this battlefield, but not innocence. "
York seemed a little confused by this American soldier.
"Look." Lieutenant William pointed to the still burning battlefield: "The Japanese monkeys have long turned Manila into a huge fortress, and we will pay the heaviest casualties every step forward.
I have an obligation to lead the boys to the final victory, but I also have the responsibility to bring as many boys back to the United States alive as possible.
You will understand, Mr. Reporter, one day you will understand. "
York Carrot is a frontline military correspondent for the Washington Post.
When he arrived in the Philippines, he was still a fledgling young man.
As Lieutenant William said, this is a naive guy.
However, after not long staying in the Philippines, he witnessed with his own eyes every atrocity that the Japanese army had committed or was currently committing, and his innocence was quickly washed away.
"Let those Japanese soldiers go to hell."
In the manuscript sent to China, he wrote this:
"The Japanese army took all the citizens of Manila hostage. The Japanese army, which had fallen into hysteria, began to massacre the Filipinos in the city, and wanted to die together.
In order to save bullets, the Japanese army gathered Manila citizens in schools, churchgoers and hospitals to carry out massacres with bayonets. The Bay View Hotel is a major killing area, from the University of St. Paul all the way to the Manila Cathedral.
The entire city was razed to the ground under fierce artillery fire, and at least more than 100,000 civilians died. The vast majority of them were killed by the Japanese army.
God will not forgive these madmen, and even in hell, Satan will be disgusted by what they have done. "
It was this experience in Manila that made York become a complete opponent of Japan.
It is also because of the frontline reports of journalists including York that the world can see Japan, this crazy country, more clearly!
