This was a very successful rescue!

Seven hundred and twelve prisoners of war were successfully rescued.

This is enough to be called a "miracle" at any time and in any war!

Even, it is an incredible miracle.

Among them, there are the efforts of Lieutenant Colonel Musi and the U.S. Rangers.

There is also another person’s contribution:

Charles!

Or call him David Beckham.

Or, he has another name:

Meng Shaoyuan!

But now Master Meng is very angry.

Really, really annoyed.

There are so many rangers, but surprisingly, not one of them has a cigarette.

It's not that none of them smoke, but the biggest reason is that they are Rangers.

And it was a surprise rescue mission.

During World War I, many soldiers were shot in the head by snipers for lighting up cigarettes at night.

Therefore, before the Rangers perform special missions, they will strictly give orders not to use fireworks.

The smokers, when the action began, threw away their fireworks in order to ensure the safety of themselves and their companions.

This is very difficult for Master Meng.

He is a smoker and a heavy smoker.

The biggest pain for smokers is that they can't even find a cigarette butt!

"Lieutenant Colonel, our road is blocked!"

At this time, a ranger came to report.

"Japanese?" Lieutenant Colonel Musi suddenly became nervous.

"No, it's the guerrillas!"

Lieutenant Colonel Musi breathed a sigh of relief: "Tell them why they are Americans and let them make way!"

Meng Shaoyuan knew who was blocking the way in front of him.

That's the "Philippine People's Anti-Japanese Army"!

The person commanding this team is Balk Joyce!

Meng Shaoyuan just pretended that he knew nothing.

"They refused to give way!"

When the ranger finished answering, Lieutenant Colonel Musi's expression suddenly changed.

He couldn't spend too much time here.

He took with him so many prisoners of war who had lost their combat effectiveness.

Behind us are the Japanese troops who will catch up at any time.

Every minute you spend here increases the chance of failure.

"Tell them we are Americans, Americans!"

Lieutenant Colonel Musi's face was already very ugly: "We must pass, the Japanese are behind us! Go and negotiate with them immediately."

"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel!"

The rangers left in a hurry.

Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "These people are difficult to deal with, especially the things we did before made them jealous of us."

He spoke and said "we", which was a subtle influence, making Lieutenant Colonel Musi become his ally involuntarily.

Of course, this has preconditions.

Previously, his identity was that of Peter Lin, the Allies' most successful spy.

Moreover, he not only provided information about Cabanatū, but also directly proposed a specific and extremely successful rescue plan.

Therefore, in Lieutenant Colonel Musi's mind, he already assumed that the other party was one of his own.

He knew that what the other party was talking about was that on the eve of the US military counterattack, they massacred the leaders of the Philippine resistance organization and seized the command of the Philippine guerrillas.

Among these guerrilla groups whose command rights fell into the hands of the Americans, the Philippine People's Anti-Japanese Army has always fought independently.

"You said they would make things difficult for us?" Lieutenant Colonel Musi said with a frown.

"I think it will." Meng Shaoyuan replied firmly: "These people, while fighting the Japanese, do not take us seriously. I think they will not let us pass so easily."

"Then annihilate them!" Lieutenant Colonel Musi said murderously.

"Lieutenant Colonel, now is not the best time to annihilate them." Meng Shaoyuan reminded him in particular: "Don't forget, what we lack most is also time!"

Lieutenant Colonel Musi quickly understood what he meant.

Perhaps the combat effectiveness of these Filipino guerrillas is not worth mentioning in his eyes, but the problem is that he cannot waste time.

Lieutenant Colonel Musi's brows knitted together.

Meng Shaoyuan promptly proposed a solution to him: "Lieutenant Colonel, they just want to get some benefits. Leave the equipment you don't need temporarily, such as the bazooka, to them."

As he said that, he seemed to see the concerns of Lieutenant Colonel Musi: "Don't worry, they are still our allies after all, and it is not a shame to give weapons to the allies.

Besides, after the war is over, we can slowly settle this debt with them."

Lieutenant Colonel Musi had to admit that every word and word Charles said was in his heart.

He was worried that he would be punished by his boss when he returned.

But he has no responsibility for leaving weapons to the Allied forces who are resisting behind enemy lines.

There is plenty of time to settle the accounts.

At this time, the ranger responsible for going to negotiate also came back to report.

Sure enough, Balk Joyce put forward his conditions without hesitation:

They can let the Americans pass, but the Japanese army will catch up later. The Philippine People's Anti-Japanese Army will inevitably face a battle. They lack the necessary weapons, so they need the assistance of the US military!

It’s the same as Charles’s judgment.

Lieutenant Colonel Musi immediately agreed to the other party's request.

Not long after the Rangers left, they turned back again and brought with them a lieutenant from the guerrillas.

The lieutenant brought back Balk Joyce's words.

The Americans were allowed to pass after leaving behind their weapons, but none of Juan Pagata's men were allowed to pass.

After all, they are mortal enemies.

This time, Lieutenant Colonel Musi was really anxious. He shouted loudly: "Go back and tell Joyce that everyone must pass. Otherwise, I will use the radio to call long-range artillery fire and blow you to pieces!"

"

He was just bluffing there.

His radio had been damaged during the attack on Cabanatuan.

And with 712 prisoners of war who had no fighting ability, he had no confidence that he could rush through without any losses!

The guerrilla lieutenant smiled.

The commander's judgment was indeed very accurate.

Americans only bluff.

The lieutenant showed fear, and after once again requesting for more weapon reinforcements and getting permission from Lieutenant Colonel Musi, Balk Joyce finally agreed to everyone's approval.

Lieutenant Colonel Musi was not at ease yet, so he threatened the lieutenant: "If you do this, it's best if there are no ambush on the road ahead, because you have to walk at the front of the large convoy, and I will follow you. If there is any trouble ahead, I will kill you first."

about you."

Relying on these weapons left by the Americans, the Philippine People's Anti-Japanese Army grew stronger.

And in the decades that followed, the Philippine People's Anti-Japanese Army was still active in the Philippines after changing its name.

They have never taken Americans seriously, and they do not recognize the so-called Philippine government.

And all of this is caused by one person:

Charles!

Yes.
Chapter completed!
