The first batch of broken troops to withdraw from Quezon Bridge will arrive by noon tomorrow at the latest.
And this is the moment that truly tests the American troops on Knighting Street.
General Walter Krueger, directly bypassing Lieutenant Colonel Henry Musi, personally issued the order to Meng Shaoyuan:
Be sure to hold on to Knighting Street and prevent the east and west Japanese armies from converging.
US military aircraft and artillery will provide reinforcements at any time.
At the same time, he asked Knighting Street what kind of assistance he needed.
In Meng Shaoyuan's call back, he only made one request:
"We need ice cream, lots of it!"
It is said that after learning about Major Charles' request, the Ranger Battalion and F Company immediately cheered loudly.
In General Kruger's subsequent call back, he told Meng Shaoyuan, "Young man, there will be ice cream. This is a general's promise to you."
In the evening, the Japanese army tried to launch several more raids on Knighting Street, but they were all beaten back by the heavily guarded US military.
Meng Shaoyuan also knew that this was almost the end of the day.
When he returned to the commercial building, Yanagisawa Ako and Hazuki were already waiting for him.
To be honest, Yanagisawa Ako and Hazuki now even regret joining the Sakura Club.
The Sakura Club has never been taken seriously.
They were even thrown into the transportation building like garbage.
And when they came here, what they experienced was a completely different feeling.
The food and drink here are incredibly rich.
Moreover, they also witnessed the power of the US military with their own eyes!
There is no way to defeat the US military in Manila!
Even if they can really complete the task, so what?
They will also die here.
Yes, their husbands are dead.
But in Japan, they still have other relatives.
Joining Sakura would have been a choice given the circumstances at the time, but things are no longer the same.
However, Yanagisawa Ako and Hazuki also knew that there was no turning back for them.
As soon as they saw Meng Shaoyuan coming back, two Japanese women immediately greeted him attentively.
This is the task assigned to them by Nishino Yoshi.
No matter what, we must extract useful information from "Shibu Taniguchi".
However, Shibu Taniguchi was originally engaged in intelligence work. From last night to now, he has not revealed any useful information at all.
"Thank you for your hard work today." Yanagisawa Ako said, "You are not in danger."
"Ah, it's okay." Meng Shaoyuan stretched his muscles and said, "I just wanted to go to bed early and sleep."
…
At dawn, Meng Shaoyuan got up.
My legs were so weak that I almost had no strength to stand.
Yanagisawa Ako and Ye Yue also got up and waited on Meng Shaoyuan to get dressed.
"That's right." Meng Shaoyuan seemed to have remembered something: "The temporary material warehouse is short of manpower. You can go and help today, that is, help register the materials."
"yes."
The two women agreed respectfully.
…
"I have learned about the whereabouts of the explosives."
Not long after Meng Shaoyuan left, Nishino Yao flashed in.
"That's great." Yanagisawa Ako said, "When are you going to take action?"
"Not for the time being." Nishino Yoshi shook his head: "The Americans have given me more things to do, and they are more focused on it, so I haven't found an opportunity yet.
However, I learned from the Americans that the imperial soldiers in the direction of Quezon Bridge were moving closer here. I thought that maybe I would have a chance by then. "
Yanagisawa Ako and Hazuki knew that Nishino Yoshi was almost crazy about this mission!
No one can stop him.
For such a long time, Yanagisawa Ako and Hazuki have been deeply afraid of Nishino Yoshi.
They didn't have the guts to disobey Nishino Yoshi's orders.
"Where are you, is there any progress?" Nishino Yao asked immediately.
"Just now, Shibu Taniguchi asked us to go to the temporary supply warehouse to help count the supplies."
Yanagisawa Ako just said it, and Nishino Yoshi suddenly became happy.
The US military used several rooms on the second floor of the commercial building as temporary warehouses.
A large amount of military and daily supplies were piled there.
Nishino Yoshi originally thought about attacking the material warehouse once the explosives could not be found.
However, Second Lieutenant Terl monitored the material warehouse very closely, and it was almost impossible to find opportunities by himself.
He even had no way of knowing exactly what was in the warehouse.
And now such a good opportunity actually appeared.
"Keep in mind that there is something in the warehouse." Nishino Yao thought for a moment and then ordered: "This will be of great help to the imperial army in the future.
Also, if you find an opportunity, see if you can steal some weapons. We are now bare-handed and have weapons, which will be of great help to us. "
…
Although they had known about the wealth of the US military for a long time, Yanagisawa Ako and Hazuki still couldn't believe their eyes when they saw it with their own eyes.
In one room, everything was piled up with Coca-Cola, chocolate, and jam.
Where have these two Japanese women seen this?
When I checked in, my hands were shaking.
As for Magnet, the sound of gunfire outside also sounded again.
However, Yanagisawa Ako and Hazuki didn't care at all.
Because they know that there is no way for the Japanese army to invade here.
When we arrived at the second warehouse, everything piled inside was weapons.
Bullets alone allow the U.S. military to shoot without restraint without worrying about running out of ammunition.
What's even more frightening is that the US military's material supplies are still overcoming difficulties and being transported here in an endless stream.
How to fight such a battle?
Second Lieutenant Terr led two of his men to count the ammunition here.
Yanagisawa Ako and Hazuki are responsible for registering one by one.
At this moment, Yanagisawa Ako suddenly discovered that there was a pistol in a box of bullets.
This should have been misplaced here when the weapons were being transported.
Once there are too many supplies, it is normal for small mistakes like this to occur.
"If you find an opportunity, see if you can steal some weapons."
Nishino Yoshi's words appeared in the minds of the two Japanese women.
Yanagisawa Ako gave Hazuki a wink.
Ye Yue understood, and while registering, she blocked Ako's depth.
Yazi immediately picked up the pistol and hid it close to his body.
At this time, Second Lieutenant Ter turned around and said, "Okay, let's check the ammunition here."
After saying that, he said apologetically to Yanagisawa Ako and Hazuki: "This is a hard job. I'm afraid I will have to be here all day today."
"Ah, it's okay, it's not hard for us."
This is what Yanagisawa Ako thinks.
Compared with the fear and uncertainty before, now work is simply enjoyable for them!
