Early in the morning, 11 mortars were delivered.
Installing such a big thing is time-consuming and laborious.
Company F was responsible for the installation.
Minesweepers continue to clear mines.
The Ranger Battalion engaged in a firepower duel and blocking competition with the Japanese army on the opposite side.
As the best sniper in the Ranger battalion, Corporal Andrew had easily hunted down four Japanese soldiers.
"Major, we have received new orders."
Lieutenant William hurried over: "We are ordered from above to control Knighting Street as soon as possible and build a new line of defense."
"What happened?" Meng Shaoyuan asked immediately.
"We have crossed the Pasig River and started repeated battles with the Japanese army at Quezon Bridge." Lieutenant William Hui reported: "In the direction of Quezon Bridge, the Japanese army has shown signs of defeat.
According to the intelligence we intercepted, the Japanese army has sent reinforcements in order to secure the Quezon Bridge. Whether the Japanese army is defeated and flees, or the reinforcements arrive, they must pass through Knighting Street. "
Meng Shaoyuan understood: "So we must not only defeat the Japanese army here as soon as possible, but also block the Japanese army here for a period of time."
"Yes, Major."
Originally, it was still a Ranger battalion, and the manpower and firepower might not be sufficient.
But with the arrival of Company F, this situation quickly changed.
"Tell Nate to speed up." Meng Shaoyuan no longer hesitated: "In three hours, launch the attack on time!"
…
Yanagisawa Ako and Yanagisawa Hazuki still don’t quite understand what’s going on.
They followed the chaotic crowd fleeing the Department of Transportation building.
Where to go then?
They don't know.
It’s also even more directionless.
No one guides them, and no one tells them what they should do and what they shouldn't do.
All they knew was to find small alleys as much as possible.
On the road, God knows what you will encounter.
They also encountered danger.
While escaping, they saw with their own eyes a group of Japanese soldiers killing dozens of locals in a small alley.
There were corpses all over the ground.
Blood has stained the road red.
Then, the Japanese army also discovered them.
They saw two Japanese soldiers walking toward them with bayonets stained with blood.
Yazi anxiously told the other party in Japanese that they were also Japanese.
Maybe it was because too many people were killed today, or maybe it was because his compatriots were on the opposite side, and the sergeant leading the team stopped his men.
Yazi, who narrowly escaped death, asked hurriedly, where should they go?
The sergeant glanced at them numbly, said nothing, and just left with his people.
No matter how much Ako and Hazuki begged behind their backs.
Where to go?
No one knew where to go.
Manila has long been turned into a huge tomb.
Everywhere there is death.
The two women got away with it this time, but next time, they won't be so lucky.
Of course Ako and Hazuki couldn't understand what the sergeant was thinking.
They just want to survive.
Now they are hungry.
Neither of them could remember how long it had been since they had eaten.
But in Manila, there is nothing to eat.
They did not dare to stop, so they could only continue to move forward aimlessly with hunger and great fatigue.
Until they can no longer walk or fall down, or are killed.
…
All 12 mortars have been installed.
Looking at these 12 big guys, every American soldier felt a lot better.
"Prepare!"
After Meng Shaoyuan gave the order, Lieutenant Nate immediately ordered:
"Prepare!"
"let's start!"
With Meng Shaoyuan's words, the most violent attack on Naiting Street began!
This cannon is different. These 12 mortars are at the forefront of the battlefield. Coupled with their high accuracy, they are fatal to the Japanese army on Knighting Street.
The artillery shells landed accurately on the Japanese positions and fortresses.
The sound of explosions brought death to the Japanese army, a despair more terrifying than death!
They have nowhere to hide.
They can only watch death coming!
Natsume Seiichiro was at his wits' end.
What can he do?
He had no countermeasures.
However, the torture of the Japanese army has just begun!
"Reload!"
On Lieutenant Knight's order, the gunner began to reload.
Switched from high-explosive bombs to white phosphorus bombs.
In the future, international conventions will ban the use of such weapons, which cause huge physical and psychological trauma to soldiers of warring countries.
But here, who cares?
At this time, white phosphorus bombs were an important weapon for the US military.
White phosphorus bombs have a very low ignition point and will burn once in contact with oxygen, emitting a yellow flame and thick smoke.
It can be used to burn substances that are difficult to burn with ordinary combustion materials. It is characterized by being able to fully burn in a small space or a space with low air density. Generally, the combustion temperature can reach more than 1000 degrees Celsius, which is enough to eliminate all living organisms within an effective range.
White phosphorus bombs are very harmful. After they hit an object, they continue to burn until they are extinguished. Therefore, when they come into contact with the human body, the skin and flesh will be penetrated and then penetrate deep into the bones.
It is an extremely dangerous and terrifying incendiary bomb. If it sticks to the skin, it is difficult to remove it in time. The burning temperature is high and can burn all the way to the bones. The smoke produced at the same time is extremely irritating to the eyes and nose.
The US military used it to deal with the Japanese in fortifications on the Pacific Islands. It was very effective, and more importantly, it had little technical content.
Even for a long time, the US military was extremely obsessed with using white phosphorus bombs.
Future international convention?
That's bullshit to Americans!
The United Nations Convention on Conventional Weapons adopted in 1980 lists them as prohibited weapons and is not allowed to be used against civilians or in civilian areas.
But the Americans refused to join the convention.
Not only that, they are also used extensively in Iraq.
This is why Meng Shaoyuan has no good impression of the United States.
Of course, now in Manila, on Knighting Street, Meng Shaoyuan is still happy to see the Japanese troops wailing under the white phosphorus bombs.
Anyway, there is no convention prohibiting its use now, right?
A terrible scene happened.
If the Japanese army was still thinking about how to save themselves and how to evade when hit by high-explosive bombs before, but when the white phosphorus bombs appeared, they no longer even had the ability to resist and struggle.
Combustion will continue as long as fragments of white phosphorus remain present and exposed to the air.
This kind of blow is completely fatal.
Natsume Seiichiro was stunned.
The impact of the cannonball was completely in his plan, and he was prepared for it.
But what did the US military use?
His subordinates did not die all at once.
They fell to the ground, wailing like wild animals.
Their skin was burning and festering.
Some people are still begging their companions loudly to end their lives with one shot.
However, the fate of their companions was not much better than theirs.
Natsume Seiichiro's hand holding the telescope was trembling.
This is hell!
Yes, hell, the hell that takes away all the Japanese!
