Chapter 3144
The whole of Manila has been built into a giant fortress!
There are mines, barbed wire fences, ravines and trenches all over the city.
The Japanese army even frantically took the citizens of the city as hostages to resist the US offensive.
Tian Qi sent out this information in time.
However, the U.S. military did not pay enough attention to this information.
Yes, it was MacArthur who personally passed the information to General Kruger.
And he also specifically reminded the general that it was only information sent by Peter Lin.
The meaning is too obvious.
That legendary spy Peter Lin, the information he sent must be taken seriously.
However, General Kruger, who has been going smoothly since landing on Luzon Island, didn't care much.
Especially when he saw that there were only [-] marines in Manila, he sneered even more.
How can an army of 7000 people resist the mighty U.S. military?
As for the four thousand security forces?
General Kruger did not count them among the defensive forces at all.
These miscellaneous troops, with a wave of their hands, will be turned into powder!
……
But at this time in Manila, Iwabuchi seemed extremely excited three times.
A smile that he hadn't seen for a long time appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He even ordered his subordinates to try their best to prepare some good dishes and two bottles of wine.
And in the backyard of the headquarters, two Japanese soldiers were helping a man take a bath.
The conditions here are very simple.
For now, bathing is almost a luxury.
One of the two Japanese soldiers was holding a wooden bucket filled with hot water, and the other was holding a bath towel.
The man finally finished washing.
How many days, finally able to take a bath.
He has been a clean person since he was a child, but how many days has it been since he took a bath?
When he finally arrived in Manila, the first request he made was to take a shower immediately.
He wiped himself clean, and then two Japanese soldiers brought him a Lieutenant General's uniform.
……
The wine has been poured.
Iwabuchi waited anxiously three times.
"Jumen Lang!"
When that voice came, Iwabuchi stood up with three "huh".
Kikumonro!
That was his nickname.
How many years has no one called himself that?
"Seijiro!"
Iwabuchi greeted him three times with a smile, and then hugged the lieutenant tightly together.
This is a good friend who grew up with him:
Fujikura Seijiro!
Iwabuchi was very thin and weak when he was a child three times, and was always bullied, but Sejiro stepped forward every time.
In order to protect Yanbuchi three times, Chengjiro was beaten many times.
Iwabuchi always cried when he cleaned the wound three times.
But Chengjiro forbade him to cry, and wanted him to be a strong man.
All this, even their parents are watching.
Iwabuchi's three parents told their son:
"Kikumonro, you and Chengjiro will be friends for life!"
Later, they all joined the navy.
After the war broke out, they went to their respective battlefields and hadn't seen each other for many years.
But this time, Seijiro suddenly appeared in Manila, why not make Iwabuchi ecstatic three times?
The two finally separated.
"Chengjiro, drink." Iwabuchi said three times with great interest: "Today, we must get drunk."
But Fujikura Seijiro said with a bitter face: "At least, let me fill my stomach first. I have been hungry for many days."
Iwabuchi laughed "haha" three times.
In front of Kikumonro, Fujikura Seijiro is not polite.
He gobbled it up and hungrily.
After swallowing the last mouthful, he patted his stomach contentedly:
"Mister Belly, Mr. Belly, you don't have to complain about me anymore, do you?"
Iwabuchi laughed again three times: "Seijiro, you are still so humorous."
"drink wine."
Chengjiro raised his glass: "Cheers!"
"cheers!"
Iwabuchi drank it three times in one gulp, put down his glass and asked, "Seijiro, how did this happen?"
Chengjiro smiled wryly: "The American navy is too powerful. After we were defeated at sea, many navies were forced to transfer to land to fight, and I was one of them.
I commanded my troops and stationed at Lingayen Bay, where the Americans had chosen as their landing point.We are ready to fight to the death with the US military!
However, that bastard, Fengwen Yamashita, was not prepared for an anti-landing operation at all.The armies on our flanks withdrew the day before the Americans landed without notifying us!
We were outnumbered and quickly routed, and in the retreat I became separated from my troops.I couldn't get in touch with other troops, so I could only go all the way to Manila. "
"Those bastards in the army!" This is equivalent to talking about the things that made Iwabuchi angry three times: "Manila, too, was given up by this bastard under the mountain!"
"I know, I know." Chengjiro sighed: "That's why I decided to come here, because I know you are in Manila. I think, as long as I can get here alive, we can finally fight side by side.
My luck was not bad, I saw an abandoned car on the road, I tried to start it, and it started.Ha, if it weren't for this car, maybe I'd still be trudging on the road. "
"Everything is over, Seijiro!" Thinking of the hardships of Seijiro's journey, Iwabuchi felt sad three times: "It's okay now, we are together, no matter how many Americans come, we can beat them back. "
"Is it the same as when we were young?" Chengjiro said with a smile: "But, it's agreed, don't cry anymore."
Iwabuchi cried every time he lost a fight when he was a child.
Seijiro said this without hesitation, and it was a bit embarrassing to make Yanbuchi three times.
Chengjiro didn't care: "Kikumonro, you don't know how powerful the Americans are. Their shells are simply inexhaustible.
Every time before a war begins, the sky and sea are bombarded indiscriminately, with tons and tons of shells roaring.Before the official war started, we had suffered heavy casualties.
This is not only a physical blow to us, but also a mental torture, which makes people feel hopeless! "
Iwabuchi did not expect him to say such a thing three times.
In his understanding, Seijiro is a brave and strategic guy.
But now, why do you seem to be afraid of Americans?
"Seijiro, are you scared?"
"No, I'm not afraid." Chengjiro took a sip of his wine: "The Americans appeared in Manila, and I will continue to fight with them. However, I must tell you all the disadvantages.
Kikumonro, you are in charge of defending Manila, I hope you are well prepared! "
Iwabuchi didn't want to continue discussing this matter three times: "Chengjiro, there is something that has been on my mind for a long time. You and I joined the army at the same time. Why, until now, you are only a lieutenant officer?"
