Yamashita Fengwen was enjoying the cool air in the yard when a huge roar of aircraft engines suddenly came from the sky.
Yamashita Fengfumi's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't care. Recently, several batches of fighter jets, bombers and transport planes had been replenished from the base camp and were transferring. Although there were thin clouds in the sky and the specific situation could not be seen, Yamashita Fengfumi
I believe this must be another Japanese military plane flying over from Kaohsiung Airport in Taiwan.
Less than half a minute later, the guard standing nearby suddenly shouted: "General, look at the sky!"
"Huh?" Yamashita Fengwen raised his head when he heard the sound, and his heart suddenly sank. He saw thousands of white dots coming out of the thin clouds in the sky like rain. If he looked carefully, these white dots appeared.
Astonishingly, there were airborne troops opening their parachutes one by one. Allied troops, these must and could only be Allied airborne troops!
Yamashita Fengwen immediately sat up from the recliner, but his face did not change color.
"Allied forces!" The guard also saw clearly and shouted, "They are Allied airborne troops."
"Quick, protect your Excellency, General, and evacuate immediately!" The military police captain also rushed in from outside.
"Why are you panicking? The Allied forces' target is the airport, not the headquarters." Yamashita Fengwen snorted, and then ordered coldly, "Order, the search wing directly under the 15th Division and the 1st Motorized Infantry Brigade to return to Manila immediately
!”
After that, Yamashita Fengwen said again: "Order the military police to mobilize in full and quickly reinforce the airport!"
"Your Majesty General, this is too risky." said the gendarmerie captain. "The gendarmerie must stay to protect you."
"No need, I'm very safe here." Yamashita Fengwen waved his hand and said calmly, "Didn't you see? The Allied airborne troops only have a thousand people at most. With such a small force, it is absolutely impossible to divide the troops to attack the city.
, Besides, the search wing of the 15th Division and the 1st Motorized Infantry Brigade will arrive soon, what danger could there be?"
"This..." the military police captain hesitated, "What if the Allied forces' target is the headquarters?"
"Nothing unexpected!" Yamashita Fengwen waved his hand and said confidently, "From the moment the Allied airborne troops appeared, I already understood their intention. They wanted to rescue someone trapped on the Bataan Peninsula.
A senior U.S. military general. If I guess correctly, that person should be the principal of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, MacArthur!"
After saying that, Yamashita Fengwen sternly scolded the adjutant: "Yours, hurry up and go!"
"Hai!" The gendarmerie captain lowered his head suddenly, then turned around and walked away with his saber in hand.
Watching the gendarmerie captain and the Japanese soldiers of the gendarmerie get on the motorcycle and roar away, Yamashita Fengwen couldn't help but have a ferocious smile on his lips. Yamashita Fengwen thought coldly, the top brass of the Allied forces must be crazy, just based on this shortcoming
Thousands of paratroopers also want to rescue MacArthur? Do they really think that the Imperial Japanese Army is made of mud and paper?

Southern Steel Works, Chicago, USA.
Boilermaker Jack changed out of his wrinkled work clothes as usual and got ready to get off work.
Jack's brother is serving in the Philippines and is currently trapped by the Japanese army on the Bataan Peninsula. His survival is uncertain. Since the fall of Manila, the first thing Jack does after get off work every day is to rush to the city center square to look for his brother among the lists of dead officers, soldiers and civilians. He would not let out a sigh of relief until he was sure that his brother's name was not on it.
As soon as he walked out of the changing room, Jack suddenly noticed that the atmosphere in the factory was a little strange.
All the workers in the same workshop were missing. I looked around anxiously and found that several workers were running forward in the distance. When Jack was wondering, two more workers rushed past him. Jack quickly asked:
"Hey, man, what happened? Was Pearl Harbor bombed by the Japs again?"
"No!" one of the workers yelled as he ran, "This time it's the Bataan Peninsula!"
"What, Bataan Peninsula?" Jack's heart suddenly sank when he heard this. He immediately threw the work clothes he had just changed into on the ground, turned around and ran away. Soon, Jack rushed to the nearest radio station.
, at this time, hundreds of workers had gathered in the open space near the broadcast, all of them looking anxious.

Times Square, New York.
A young mother was passing by the square holding her daughter's hand, planning to go home.
When passing the bulletin board in the corner of the square, the mother and her young daughter bowed to the bulletin board and told her daughter that the names on the bulletin board represented the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the United States. They are American soldiers.
The hero, the young daughter obviously still vaguely understands the concept of country, but she nodded seriously.
After bowing, when the young mother was about to take her daughter away, many people rushed into the square.
The young daughter looked around blankly, only to see many unfamiliar uncles, aunts, grandparents, etc. coming from all directions. In less than a few minutes, the entire Times Square in New York City was already filled with people. Fortunately, there were also many police officers.
After hearing the news, they arrived quickly and maintained order in the square very well.
"Hey, officer, what happened?" The young mother looked at the policeman not far from her.
"Madam, Mr. President is going to give a radio address to the United States!" The policeman wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied, "It is said that there is major news announced about the more than 20,000 American soldiers trapped on the Bataan Peninsula. Someone
Tell me, MacArthur and these American soldiers can probably be saved."
"Oh, God, oh, God, merciful God." The young mother burst into tears of joy when she heard this. Immediately, a rain of hot kisses fell on her daughter's little face. While kissing her, she said sobbingly, "Baby, you
Did you hear that, your father is saved, and he will be able to go home and reunite with us soon, thank God."

Washington, White House.
President Roosevelt, who was wearing a suit and tie, had already sat in front of the microphone of National Public Radio. Through the glass wall, the director made an "ok" gesture to the radio host Hughes next to Roosevelt, indicating that everything was ready. Mr. President faced
Broadcast speeches across the United States can begin.
Host Hughes turned to look at President Roosevelt, who nodded solemnly.
…………
Almost at the same moment, President Roosevelt's deep and hoarse voice rang out from millions of loudspeakers and tens of millions of radios across the United States: "Gentlemen and ladies, fellow citizens of the United States, everyone.
Good evening, I'm your old friend Franklin Delano Roosevelt."
"Three months ago, the well-known veteran MacArthur and more than 20,000 American officers and soldiers and more than 50,000 Philippine mercenaries led by him were besieged by the despicable and cruel Japanese on the Bataan Peninsula. In front of them was a brutal
The Japanese troops, with the rough sea behind them, have no way to retreat."
"I know that more than 20,000 American families are suffering."
"Mothers are missing their sons, wives are missing their husbands, and children are missing their fathers."
"I also know that citizens across the United States are praying to God, praying that our warriors can come back alive!"
"The U.S. government has never given up its efforts. We have always been trying to find ways to save our trapped warriors. Today, now, as the President of the United States, I have the responsibility and obligation to tell you the truth. Just six hours ago, we rescued veterans MacArthur and
The operation against the more than 20,000 American soldiers trapped on the Bataan Peninsula has officially begun!"
"Here, I must solemnly thank a great country, a great general and a great army!"
"This country is China, this general is the well-known General Yue Weihan to you, and this army is the Chinese Expeditionary Force led by General Yue Weihan. Citizens, always remember this country, this general and the army he led, forever
Don’t forget their pure and selfless friendship!”
"As I sit here delivering a speech to you, one of the most elite Chinese expeditionary forces has successfully landed on Luzon. When you sit at home, walk on the road, and listen to my speech through the radio or radio,
At that time, this elite Chinese team was fighting to the death with the Japanese to save American soldiers."

Boilermaker Jack held his head high and stared at the loudspeaker on the telephone pole, but he kept mumbling. The workers standing next to him clearly heard that what Jack was saying repeatedly was actually only
One sentence: "Chinese, Chinese, Chinese, Chinese..."
…………
Times Square, New York.
An Asian with black hair and yellow skin happened to be walking by the edge of the square. Among the crowd, who was the first to shout: "Look, Chinese, they are Chinese!"
Immediately, the excited Americans rushed towards the Asian ship. Several young and strong young men directly threw the Asian ship high into the air, and then reached out to catch it. There was a young and beautiful man.
The American girl pushed her way into the crowd and kissed the Asian man hard on the face while he was still standing.
The Asian was obviously at a loss and said in English: "But, I am Japanese..."
"***! He is Japanese!"
"Shit! ***Japs!"
"Kill him, beat him to death, beat him to death!"
The dozen or so American guys at the front suddenly showed their ferocious looks. They knocked the Japanese to the ground and used their old punches. When Shanshan, the policeman who was maintaining order, arrived too late, the poor Japanese had only one breath left.
The whole head was swollen like a pig's head, and even if his mother saw it, he would definitely not recognize it.

Washington, White House Studio.
The speech had come to an end, and just as President Roosevelt was about to say goodbye to the national audience, Secretary of State Hull suddenly walked into the studio outside, and then picked up the pen next to him as quickly as possible and wrote a line on the glass curtain wall.
Big words: "The first batch of troops has captured the airport, and the second batch of troops will arrive in Manila in 3 hours!"
President Roosevelt suddenly became excited and shouted into the microphone: "Citizens, let me tell you some exciting news. The Chinese Communist Party has captured the airport, and they have cleared the way for the arrival of follow-up reinforcements!
Citizens, let us cheer for the heroic and selfless Chinese..."
At this moment, the entire United States was boiling, completely boiling!
…………
Manila, suburban observation post.
Yamashita Tomofumi was watching the battle for Manila Airport from a distance through the artillery mirror.
Soon, Yamashita Fengfumi discovered something unusual. This Allied force that parachuted to the Manila Airport was obviously not an ordinary force. They not only had super psychological quality, but also had terrifying combat qualities. They were proficient in almost all kinds of weapons.
Firearms, driving captured Japanese tanks, motorcycles and trucks, and even proficient in blasting!
In a very short period of time, this army used the limited conditions to create two terrible car bombs. The four circular barricades outside the airport were quickly demolished. There was no suspense about the ensuing battle.
This Allied force possessed unimaginable individual firepower, and the infantry squadron guarding the airport quickly retreated into the flight control center to resist.
Although the performance of this Allied force surprised Yamashita Fengfumi, the old Japanese was still not too worried.
Because in two hours at most, the direct search wing of the 15th Division and the 1st Motorized Infantry Group will arrive. Although the Allied troops parachuted into Manila Airport are extremely brave, the ammunition they carry with them is simply not enough.
It cannot hold out for too long, and its troops are less than a thousand, so it is impossible to turn the world upside down.
…………
Saigon, Southern Army Headquarters.
"Baga, Baga Yalu!" Shouyi in the temple was furious.
Manila was suddenly attacked by Allied airborne troops. This blow was indeed beyond Juichi Terauchi's expectation. Terauchi thought that the Allied forces might land in Bangkok, but he never thought that the Allied forces would span the entire Indochina Peninsula and South China.
Sea, they parachuted onto Luzon Island in one fell swoop. Yue Weihan and Stilwell were simply two lunatics!
At four o'clock in the morning, the headquarters also received a report that a plane was flying over the airspace of Quang Ngai County in central Vietnam at night.
After receiving the report, Juichi Terauchi didn't care at all. He thought it was just a night reconnaissance plane of the Allies. But now that he thinks about it, it is clearly a group of transport aircraft sent by the Allies to attack Manila! The old devil Terauchi is really regretful now.
, If I had known that it was an Allied transport fleet passing by, I should have dispatched fighter jets to intercept it!
At this moment, a major officer suddenly came in and reported: "Your Excellency, General, Manila Airport has been lost!"
"What!?" Juichi Terauchi suddenly turned around and said in disbelief, "The airport has been lost!?"
Just as he finished speaking, another major officer came in and reported: "Your Majesty General, a large group of Allied aircraft were spotted in the airspace of Quang Ngai County in central Vietnam. It is reported that there are at least 150 transport aircraft and at least 100 escort fighter jets! It is obvious that the Allied forces are heading towards Manila Airport.
Transport the second batch of troops to completely control the airport and even the entire Manila!"
Temple Shouichi's face turned pale in an instant, and he even lost the strength to curse.
After a long while, Temple Touichi woke up as if from a dream, and rushed to Lieutenant General Luota, Chief of Staff of the Southern Army, who rushed after hearing the news: "Luota-san, please call Yamashita Fengfumi immediately and tell him to take it back within three hours."
Manila Airport, stop the second batch of Allied troops from landing at Manila Airport at all costs, whatever it takes!"
