January 30, 1945.

Cabana diagram.

Meng Shaoyuan didn't find a cigarette.

Will he be caught by the Japanese?

Instead, he didn't care anymore.

Where's the cigarette?

There is not even a cigarette in this huge Cabanat?

Meng Shaoyuan's head hurt.

It hurts like hell!

Is this compulsory smoking cessation?

This feeling is unpleasant.

He checked the time.

5:30.

The rescue operation is about to begin.

Just wait.

This is also my only chance to leave this place alive.

…

Colonel Sander was uneasy.

According to David Beckham, today should be the last day of rescue time.

But it has been calm these past few days.

Except for the previous big explosion that shook the earth.

Moreover, even David Beckham was nowhere to be seen.

Was it an accident?

I stopped my planned jailbreak plan and put all my hopes on a stranger. Is this right or wrong?

…

United States Army Air Forces.

Captain Kenneth R. Schreiber peeled off a piece of gum and threw it into his mouth.

"General!"

At this time, he heard a voice behind him.

Kenneth turned around.

It turned out to be Lieutenant General Walter Krueger, commander of the Army's Sixth Army, who came in person.

"General!"

Kenneth gave a non-standard military salute.

"Hey, those people in Cabanatu are waiting for our rescue." General Kruger did not mince words: "Remember your mission, I trust you, young man."

"Don't worry, General!"

Kenneth boarded the P-61 Black Widow fighter plane with confidence.

…

"Let's go, let's go!"

Lieutenant Colonel Musi finally gave the order.

Rangers depart from the village of Pladino.

The troops' secret stealth went smoothly, because the guerrillas in Pajata had informed residents along the route not to go out and detained outside guests until the rescue operation was over. At the same time, they also asked the villagers to put chickens in chicken coops and tie dogs into kennels.

They also wore muzzles to prevent these animals from barking when Musi's team passed by and alerting the Japanese troops.

Villagers living near the target area were told that for safety reasons it was best to leave their homes and go to safe areas but to remain hidden so as not to alert the Japanese troops.

The Cabanatuan rescue officially begins!

…

"what sound?"

A Japanese soldier suddenly raised his head and looked toward the sky.

It was past 6 o'clock and the sky was still white.

A black spot appears from a distance.

airplane!

That's a plane!

The Japanese army suddenly became nervous.

Gradually it got closer.

However, the Japanese army was no longer worried.

Because there is only one plane!

Judging from experience, this is definitely not for bombing Cabanatua, but for reconnaissance.

…

airplane!

In the prison camp, the prisoners who had just finished dinner also discovered it.

There is only one plane!

…

It's now!

Captain Kenneth R. Schreiber shut down the left engine 450 meters above the prisoner of war camp and restarted it, causing the engine to backfire and make a loud noise.

He repeated this action twice and dropped to a height of 60 meters above the ground, pretending that the aircraft was damaged.

He then flew the plane towards a hill, hid behind the mountain and flew 30 meters close to the ground.

The Japanese troops thought the plane had crashed, so they all watched the direction of the hill and waited for the fireball to appear after the plane exploded.

This provided effective cover for the Rangers' actions.

…

"Please be patient, you will see the rescue signal!"

David Beckham's words rang in Colonel Sander's ears.

With many years of experience and sensitivity as a professional soldier, Colonel Sander suddenly knew that the plane was the signal!

Otherwise, why would a lone plane appear?

Otherwise, why did it suddenly malfunction again after flying over Cabanatu?

This is no coincidence.

This is sending a message to yourself:

The big rescue has begun!

…

127 Rangers, led by Captain Robert Prince, relied on the cover of aircraft and entered Cabanatua effortlessly.

The prisoner of war camp is just ahead.

Captain Prince checked the time.

Now, it's 19:40.

He pulled the gun's safety:

"action!"

…

"Tu tu tu tu"!

Fierce gunshots and explosions suddenly sounded in Cabanatu.

Meng Shaoyuan breathed a long sigh of relief.

Finally, it came.
