"Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, the ship has reached its limit and cannot go any faster!" the captain shouted.
"The fog is about to lift. If we can't get rid of the Japanese ship before the fog lifts, we will all be doomed!" Leng Tiefeng said to the captain.
The captain said helplessly: "I have tried my best. I can obviously escape, why do you have to mess with the Japanese!"
Leng Tiefeng glared at the captain and said: "We are soldiers, there are some things we must do!"
"boom!"
The barge was hit by another shot. Seeing that the Japanese warships behind them had broken out of the fog area and kept moving forward, at this moment, everyone fell into despair.
The barge finally slowed down because it was hit by several shots. On the barge, the captain kept praying for God's blessing. At this moment, a crew member pointed forward and said: "Oh God, there is a Japanese fleet ahead!"
Everyone looked towards the sea level ahead, and sure enough, they saw countless warships rushing forward on the sea level ahead.
At this moment, everyone's hearts were as gray as dead and they had completely lost hope.
Leng Tiefeng gritted his teeth and said, "Even if you die, you can't let the Japanese capture you. Prepare to sink yourself!"
"Sink yourself? NO! Lieutenant Colonel Leng, are you crazy? The worst we can do is surrender. We can't just die like this," the captain said.
Leng Tiefeng looked at the captain with contempt and said: "How can you surrender to the Japanese if you risk death?"
The captain didn't understand Leng Tiefeng's ideas very much. He couldn't understand why these Chinese people would rather die than surrender when life was so precious. I really couldn't understand what they were thinking.
"Stop talking, look quickly, it seems to be the American fleet." An officer shouted.
Leng Tiefeng and the captain quickly picked up the telescope and looked forward. They saw the huge fleet in the distance moving forward, with countless stars and stripes fluttering in the wind.
"God, it's our warship! Thank you, Lord Renzi!" The Americans in the cabin cheered thunderously.
Leng Tiefeng also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was really saved this time.
What Leng Tiefeng encountered was the U.S. Pacific Fleet. This Pacific Fleet consisted of dozens of aircraft carriers and hundreds of warships. It was commanded by Vice Admiral Turner of the U.S. Navy. Its target was the Philippines. In the previous battle, this fleet
A Pacific Fleet fought a battle with the remnants of the Japanese Combined Fleet, and the result was a complete victory. The Japanese Combined Fleet was defeated and fled towards the Philippine Islands, with the U.S. fleet in hot pursuit.
Turner did not expect that the Japanese fleet in front encountered Leng Tiefeng's barge while escaping. It was the harassment of Leng Tiefeng's barge that delayed the combined fleet's escape, allowing the American fleet to catch up again.
At this time, Lieutenant General Turner had received the radio signal from the barge where Leng Tiefeng was located, and also knew that the remnants of the Japanese combined fleet were chasing the barge and had entered the strike range of the carrier-based aircraft. Rear Admiral Turner was overjoyed and immediately ordered
Carrier-based aircraft took off to fight.
Turner knew that the remnants of the combined fleet in front only had one aircraft carrier. As long as they were discovered by his carrier-based aircraft, they would be living targets. He must eliminate them on this vast sea!
"Boys, go blow up the Japanese warships. I wish you good luck!" Lieutenant General Turner said with a smile.
"General, the barge in front sent a signal. They were seriously injured. Everyone wants to transfer to our warship." An officer said.
Turner said: "I agreed to the request. A small barge actually prevented the Japanese combined fleet from escaping. It seems that God is on our side."
"General Turner, the Japanese do not believe in God, but in Amaterasu." the officer behind reminded him.
Turner laughed heartily and said, "Let's see if the Japanese Amaterasu can bless them!"
Leng Tiefeng did not expect that his small decision would actually change the trend of the Philippine campaign. Because the combined fleet was dragged by his own barge, the American carrier-based aircraft was able to discover and capture the main force of the combined fleet.
Under indiscriminate bombing, the remnants of the Japanese combined fleet suffered heavy losses and more than a dozen warships were sunk. The Americans won the Battle of Leyte Gulf in the Philippines.
Guam, since the Americans occupied Guam, they have moved some important departments to Guam, making Guam an important strategic fulcrum in the Pacific.
In the US military base in Guam, MacArthur had learned that Leng Tiefeng led Langya to rescue Wainwright and more than 500 US military prisoners of war. MacArthur was very happy. Wainwright was his old subordinate. After he left, he served as the garrison commander.
It can be said that the commander of the Philippine Army took the blame for himself and prevented the disaster. Therefore, MacArthur had a special feeling for Wainwright. When he heard that Wainwright had been rescued by Leng Tiefeng, MacArthur was very happy.
I thanked Xu Rui in person.
A few days later, Leng Tiefeng and others arrived in Guam on a US military transport ship. MacArthur went to pick up Wainwright in person. When he saw that Wainwright's legs had been broken, MacArthur couldn't help but burst into tears and was angry with Wenwright.
Wright comforted him.
Later, more than 500 prisoners of war made peace under the ship. MacArthur gave an emotional speech to these prisoners of war. He said emotionally: "Young men, you have gone home!"
When MacArthur's words fell to the ground, the prisoners of war were already crying. MacArthur was in tears when he looked at the prisoners of war who were tortured, bruised and skinny. MacArthur said: "Young men, don't worry, the navy and army of the United States of America are already marching."
On the way, we will definitely eliminate the Japanese Japs in the Philippines and retake the Philippines. Now, you can have a good rest for a while. You will have more important tasks in the future."
"Young men, if you have any ideas or conditions, please tell me." MacArthur said.
A prisoner of war said weakly: "General, I want to eat steak, preferably some mashed potatoes and beer."
MacArthur had a sore nose. He already knew what the prisoners of war experienced in the prison camp. Not to mention steak, in the prison camp, they had not eaten a piece of meat or drank beer for two years.
MacArthur said: "Boys, I will definitely fulfill your wish. You can eat the most authentic American steak for dinner tonight..."
"Crack!"
The scene of MacArthur and the prisoners of war was photographed by war reporters. Subsequently, the prisoner of war rescue incident was published on the front pages of major newspapers in the United States. Of course, along with the written text, MacArthur was with the prisoners of war.

As a result, MacArthur became an American hero again. This rescue operation was said to be the most legendary operation in MacArthur's military career. However, major newspapers and magazines only mentioned the troops who performed this mission in passing, saying that they were a joint Sino-U.S.
The troops carried out the operation and then let it go...
Guam, Third Regiment Camp.
In the dormitory, Digua was holding a copy of the "Chinese Edition of the Washington Post" and was watching and reading it. Zhuanshanbao on the side said: "Digua, you guys have done such a good job, why didn't you mention anything in the newspaper and said
It is a mission carried out by a Sino-US joint force. This mission has nothing to do with the Yankees, and it is all the credit of our Wolf Fang."
When Di Gua heard Zhuan Shan Bao's words, he perked up and said, "That's not so good. We have made such a great contribution, but the Yankees didn't even mention it. It really chills people's hearts."
Han Feng on the side said: "The Americans have their own ideas. If all the good things are done by the Chinese, then what can we do to unite the military morale and the morale of the Americans? Americans also know this.
This is why they pushed MacArthur out and made MacArthur the hero of this operation, in order to boost morale and enhance the morale of the military and the people."
"It's boring for Americans to play like this. If you have the guts, go ahead and do it yourself. Don't blame us for everything." Digua said.
"Why are you complaining?" Xu Rui walked in from the door. Apparently, Xu Rui heard the conversation between Di Gua and others outside.
When people in the room saw Xu Rui coming, they stood up one after another. Xu Rui nodded and said, "Everyone, sit down."
Afterwards, Xu Rui sat down on a bed, and the wolves also sat on the bed. Xu Rui said to Digua: "Digua, are you complaining again?"
Digua felt embarrassed and said: "Captain, we were saying just now that the Americans were too boring. We won the war, and they went to publicize MacArthur, as if the prisoners were rescued by MacArthur."
Xu Rui said: "Why, do you feel wronged?"
"Yes, Commander, our battle is in vain." Digua said angrily.
Xu Rui said: "What does it mean to fight in vain? Am I the kind of person who suffers losses?"
Just listen to Digua say: "But head, look at what is written in this newspaper, there is no mention of our Langya at all."
Xu Rui said: "Some things can't just be taken at face value. The Americans have gained face this time, but we, the Wolf Fang, have gained face. As for the face, you will know in the future."
Naturally, Xu Rui would not tell these Lang Ya that MacArthur owed him a favor. He came to Lang Ya's dormitory this time just because he was afraid that these Lang Ya would be unhappy.
"Oh? Captain, is there any behind-the-scenes news? Can you reveal it to us?" Xu Rui saw that Digua put his ear close to it.
Xu Rui said: "You will know in the future. Let's get down to business first. In this battle in the Philippines, our third regiment has encountered an old rival again."
"Old rival? Who is it?" Zuan Shanbao asked in the crowd.
"Yamaxia Fengwen!" Xu Rui glanced at everyone and said.
When they heard Xu Rui say the words "Shanxia Fengwen", everyone was stunned at first, and then Digua jumped up and said: "Damn, I didn't expect to meet this old devil again. This time,
