Chapter 3254 Release the Hostages

At 11 o'clock, Lieutenant William appeared at the Japanese position.

He has only one mission:

Supervise the release of hostages by Japanese troops.

Suzuki Masaichi looked down at the loser with the attitude of a winner.

Lieutenant William also had obvious frustration on his face.

Yes, Netting Street, which had been holding on for so long and seemed like it could never be broken through, was resolved by Suzuki Masaichi's "strategy".

No one would be willing to accept it otherwise.

At that time, on Knighting Street opposite, most of the US troops had completed their evacuation except for one and a half remaining.

Hiroshi Kawauchi also confirmed this idea.

The hostages can be released.

Lieutenant William who was personally accompanied by Captain Changlong.

In one person's eyes, there is no way to detect that there are 500 missing among 3,500 people.

The faces of these hostages were still full of despair and fear.

Among them are Americans, British, French, Spanish, Indians and locals.

Lieutenant William looked at it: "Where is the priest?"

Yes, he didn't see Pastor Milot.

"The pastor voluntarily stayed here and continued to act as a translator and good offices negotiator."

Captain Changlong said expressionlessly: "Lieutenant, please don't waste your time because of a priest."

He then heard Lieutenant William sigh.

Yes, don't waste time for one person.

Manila has long become a city of death.

Once upon a time, this was a beautiful city and a city of hope in the eyes of Europeans and Americans.

Not only do countless tourists come here every year, but many major American companies operate here.

For example, the famous American General Electric, Del Monte, etc.

But after the war broke out, because the US military failed so quickly, many Europeans, Americans, and Asians did not have time to evacuate.

They were forced to stay here.

They originally thought that if the Japanese soldiers captured Manila, they would not do anything to civilians like them.

But they were all wrong.

The Japanese are not humans in the first place, but a bunch of beasts!

You can never understand the mind of an animal.

Horrible nightmares began to befall these civilians.

If it was just a nightmare before, then from the moment the US military landed on Luzon Island, the nightmare turned into hell!

From the outbreak of the Battle of Manila to the end, more than 100,000 civilians were massacred by the Japanese army!

massacre!

Many of them were gathered together and slaughtered!

Thirty-five hundred people are insignificant compared to 100,000 people.

One person is even smaller than 3,500 people.

The US military will not sabotage the entire rescue plan because of one pastor.

Lieutenant William asked the Japanese to borrow a loudspeaker: "I am Lieutenant William of the Sixth Ranger Battalion. Please move to the direction of Knighting Street immediately. Move to the direction of Knighting Street immediately."

Don't crowd, don't crowd, you only have one hour!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were filled with ecstasy.

But none of them made a sound.

Because after being tortured for so long, they all knew one thing:

Never try to anger these Japanese.

Because these Japanese have already lost their humanity.

"Start now, evacuate!"

Lieutenant William did not dare to delay even a moment.

The hostages started to move.

Still no one spoke.

Still deathly silence.

On the battlefield, a group of civilian hostages made no sound except for the sound of footsteps as they evacuated. What a terrifying thing.

These are not hostages, these are a group of walking dead!

The one who made the noise was the Japanese army.

They ridiculed and cursed wantonly.

Sometimes, he would slap or kick the hostages who passed by him.

The hostage who was slapped didn't even dare to cover his face and just walked forward with the crowd.

The hostage who was kicked to the ground stood up and followed the hostage regardless of the pain.

"gentlemen."

Lieutenant William came to Suzuki Masaichi: "There are too many people, and I am afraid there is not enough time. I ask you, Sir, to see humanity and give us another hour."

After Suzuki Masaichi hesitated, Lieutenant William took out two cans of luncheon meat from his bag: "You have already won, haven't you?"

You have already won.

This made Suzuki Masaichi, who was already in a good mood, feel even more happy.

Yes, he won.

And this victory depends entirely on myself.

Even General Iwabuchi III personally commended him.

Moreover, if you try to force entry after the allotted time regardless of everything, it will definitely cause trouble.

Once these hostages, who are about to be freed, are cornered, with the help of the US military, provoking their legal resistance will be self-defeating.

Of course, there is also the temptation of two cans.

In the past, Suzuki Masaichi would have turned his nose up at canned meat no matter how hungry he was.

However, when you are in a good mood, two cans of meat are very tempting.

"Humanitarian, yes."

Suzuki Masaichi asked his orderly to take down the canned meat: "I can give you another hour, but please remember, this is my last concession."

"Thank you, sir." Lieutenant William said calmly.

Suzuki Masaichi immediately ordered: "Immediately send a signal to Colonel Kawauchi. Due to special reasons, the entry into Netting Street will be delayed until 1 p.m."

The first hostage finally entered Knighting Street.

From the first second he saw the US military, he, who had been silent just now, suddenly fell to the ground and cried loudly.

The emotions that had been suppressed for a long time were finally released.

"Hey, hey." Lieutenant Turl shouted loudly: "Now is not the time to be sad, hurry up, move forward, move forward, don't stop at any time!"

More and more hostages are entering Knighting Street.

Under the command of the US military, they began to quicken their pace and moved quickly towards the US military.

Under the desire to be free and live, fatigue, hunger, and pain have all been forgotten by them.

They just want to live.

"Sir, I think it's time for me to leave."

Lieutenant William saw the last hostage entering Knighting Street and said: "I think we will meet again on the battlefield."

From 11 o'clock to 1 o'clock in the afternoon, a full two hours.

Suzuki Masaichi did not feel that the time was long at all.

He said with great satisfaction: "See you on the battlefield. I think you will still be defeated!"

"Maybe. Goodbye, sir."

Lieutenant William left.

When he returned to the position, Second Lieutenant Terr immediately greeted him: "Everything is fine."

"Follow the hostages and evacuate immediately." Lieutenant William did not dare to neglect at all.

"Yes, Lieutenant." Second Lieutenant Tur suddenly asked: "Where is Major Charles? I haven't seen him since this morning."

"He and Lieutenant Nate evacuated first."

Lieutenant William said casually: "Sir, don't ask too much about the matter. Second Lieutenant, if you don't want to die here, just come with me."

All U.S. troops on Knighting Street were evacuated.

This street, which had been difficult to capture for a long time, was finally recaptured by the Japanese!
