Chapter 2349 Follow the fight
At least, before the Japanese reinforcements and defeated troops appeared, the US military's work was relatively leisurely.
They only need to place firepower points and rearrange their positions.
Moreover, the US military's logistical capabilities have also been fully guaranteed.
Sure enough, the supplies arrived early the next morning.
This is also MacArthur’s fatal order:
No matter how dangerous the transportation is, how much the price is, how many people are sacrificed, we must ensure that these materials are delivered to the U.S. troops entering Manila as soon as possible!
Two trucks brought a large amount of ammunition supplies and food.
"Three trucks came, and one was blown up." Sergeant Ball, who was in charge of transportation, said: "The Japanese also tried to snatch the supplies on the trucks, but our escort troops fought them back."
"Thank you, sergeant." Meng Shaoyuan immediately ordered to start unloading the goods.
The US military has always attached great importance to logistics.
Throughout the Luzon Campaign, the transportation of supplies was always elevated to the highest level.
Especially during the Battle of Manila, the U.S. military's logistics support department indeed spent a lot of effort to ensure the supplies of materials for the assault troops.
This also caused the US military in North Korea to conduct the most frantic bombing of transportation lines in order to cut off the logistical supplies of that great army.
"Hey, Major, I can't go back." Sergeant Ball said immediately: "I have been ordered to join your unit, and the truck will also follow you to fight."
This is another special feature of the Battle of Manila.
Once the supplies are delivered to the assault troops, the personnel and vehicles responsible for transporting the supplies will follow the assault troops.
This is to minimize the casualties of transport personnel during the return journey.
The U.S. military doesn't care how much supplies it loses, it only cares about these people.
Therefore, some US military assault troops will use these empty trucks as some kind of defensive weapons.
Anyway, even if all the trucks are destroyed, new trucks will be delivered soon.
To be honest, Meng Shaoyuan was quite envious of fighting this kind of war for wealth.
It just so happens that Kageyama Nosuke's side also needs people.
Sergeant Ball and his men were assigned to Nosuke Kageyama to guard the Japanese prisoners of war.
"Hey, Lieutenant, so many Japanese prisoners?"
Sergeant Ball quietly said to Lieutenant William: "I hate these Japanese monkeys, can I pee on them?"
Lieutenant William almost laughed: "Maybe, but you have to be careful about your guy being bitten off by them."
…
The position has been basically constructed.
"Major."
Meng Shaoyuan picked up a book in the commercial building and was sitting in the general manager's office. No, he was reading in the headquarters when Second Lieutenant Ter walked in:
"We caught two Japanese."
What's so surprising about this?
Meng Shaoyuan then asked: "Soldiers? Japanese overseas Chinese?"
"Japanese overseas." Second Lieutenant Ter said without hesitation: "They are still two Japanese women."
"Yeah?"
Meng Shaoyuan closed the book: "Bring it in."
After a while, two Japanese women were brought in.
Both his body and his appearance were extremely dirty.
Meng Shaoyuan frowned: "Who are you? Where did you come from? Why are you here?"
Oh my god, finally someone can speak Japanese.
A woman hurriedly said: "I am Yanagisawa Ako, and she is Yanagisawa Hazuki. We are coming from the Transportation Building."
"The Transportation Building? It's far away from here."
"Yes, Your Excellency. We didn't have time to evacuate Manila, so we were left here. Moreover, many people like us were arranged together."
Ako Yanagisawa said: "We had almost no food, and no one took care of us until a group of Japanese soldiers showed up."
Immediately, she recounted her experiences with the group of Japanese expatriates.
Meng Shaoyuan understood.
When the war progressed to this point, Iwabuchi knew for three times that there was no possibility of victory, so he began to massacre his own residents.
Fortunately, a Japanese military officer discovered this and stopped this tragedy.
However, what Meng Shaoyuan didn't know was that this Japanese officer was still his "old acquaintance":
Major Koiso.
Yanagisawa Ako and Hazuki are relatively lucky.
They fled all the way aimlessly, and actually survived until now.
Then, they arrived at Knighting Street and were quickly discovered by the US military.
"Second Lieutenant, find a place for them to take a bath. They smell too bad."
Meng Shaoyuan said dissatisfiedly: "Find them two more sets of clothes. This is a shopping mall. I believe it is not difficult to do this."
"Okay, Major."
Meng Shaoyuan immediately picked up the book again.
…
The knock on the door sounded again.
"Come in!"
Appearing in front of Meng Shaoyuan were still Yanagisawa Ako and Yanagisawa Hazuki.
This is, this time they are completely different.
After the dirt was washed away, they looked unexpectedly beautiful.
Moreover, the figure is quite good!
Meng Shaoyuan, known as "Sexy Ghost Meng"!
When he sees a beautiful woman, he will never let her go easily.
Since the Cabanatuan rescue, he had been fighting the Japanese army, and his mind was not on it at all.
Now, he finally got a rare free time, and two beauties came to his door. As Meng Shaoyuan, his mind was filled with excitement.
At this time, Yanagisawa Yezi and Yanagisawa Hazuki didn't know that this kind "officer" had already moved their minds.
"Your Excellency," Ako Yanagisawa said timidly, "We haven't eaten for a long time."
"Ah, really?"
Meng Shaoyuan opened the drawer and found two cans of lunch meat inside.
Seriously, in the past, it was good to have canned luncheon meat.
But after following the US military for a long time, I realized that the food in the US military is not as rich as usual.
For example, of the two trucks that came this time, half of the trucks were filled with food.
Not only are there coffee powder, cocoa powder, juice powder, but also a large amount of Coca-Cola.
Looking at other countries at the same time, Germany was still drinking its extremely bitter "fake coffee", and Japan was still eating plum rice balls.
But even so, Lieutenant William still complained that the coffee powder tasted bad.
Gradually, Meng Shaoyuan began to realize that luncheon meat did not taste good.
Although it was not difficult to swallow, Meng Shaoyuan did not want to touch this kind of thing again until there was no food.
He opened the lunch meat can and pushed it up: "Eat it."
Yanagisawa Ako and Yanagisawa Hazuki looked excited and greedy in their eyes. They almost jumped up and grabbed the canned luncheon meat.
This kind of food that the US military abandoned casually without even bothering to look at it was, in the eyes of these two Japanese women, the most delicious food in the world.
They devoured it so much that Hazuki even choked.
Meng Shaoyuan took two more bottles of Coke and gave them to them.
At the first bite, maybe they were not used to it yet, so they frowned slightly.
But Coca-Cola becomes addictive the more you drink it.
