The US pilots who bombed the island nation were forced to parachute after running out of fuel. After a heated discussion, crew number 8 decided to land in Vladivostok. The pilot, Captain Edward York, hurriedly used an open code to contact the ground.
Chen Wanxin urgently ordered the entire airport to mobilize and directed the fighter plane to land smoothly at Vladivostok Airport. I heard that the US military dispatched 16 bombers and fighter jets, but could no longer contact other fighters to get there.
After receiving Chen Wanxin's telegram, Hu Zhiyong immediately ordered the air forces of Jeju Island, Ryukyu Island and Shanghai to take off, and sent helicopters to patrol at low altitudes to rescue the parachuting warriors. In order to find the target more accurately, he quickly got in touch with Roosevelt's special envoy.
The Americans were very moved by Hu Zhiyong's actions and regretfully told him: "I may fly to the Chinese mainland for an emergency landing or parachute, but I have lost contact with the pilot!"
The five members of Unit 8 were sent to the Ryukyu Air Force Base, waiting for the US military to come and pick them up. Although the other pilots were not rescued, Roosevelt thought of the situation in the Philippines. He hurriedly ordered the special envoy to see Hu Zhiyong, trying to get this powerful
Let the Chinese people give it a try.
On January 2, 1942, the Japanese army occupied Manila and occupied Cavite and Batangas with one force. The Japanese army was on the mainland in Mindanao and Jolo. The American and Philippine troops (79,500 people) on Luzon withdrew to Palestine.
Dan Peninsula.
In order to prevent the Burmese army from marching towards Thailand, the Japanese army hastily transferred the main force of the 5th Aviation Group to Bangkok and used only the remaining forces of the 14th Army to clear Luzon Island. The US-Philippine army and the Japanese army launched fierce mountain warfare, jungle warfare and positional warfare.
The Japanese army lost its offensive power due to serious casualties and was forced to go on the defensive. The battle situation fell into a stalemate for a time.
In mid-March, MacArthur transferred to Australia, and the remaining U.S. and Philippine forces were commanded by Major General Wainwright. The Japanese army strengthened after receiving reinforcements from the 4th Division, and bombarded the U.S. and Philippine positions with aviation and artillery.
On April 3, the Japanese army launched another attack on the Bataan Peninsula with the 4th Division and the 65th Brigade as the main force. The two sides launched a desperate battle in the jungle. The U.S. and Philippine troops had neither reinforcements nor supplies. Under the fierce attack of the Japanese army, Bataan
The 75,000 peninsula defenders (including 9,300 US troops) surrendered on April 9.
Beginning on the 10th, prisoners of war from the U.S. and Philippine forces were taken to San Fernando, Pampanga Province. Thousands of them died of starvation, disease or were killed along the way, known in history as the "Bataan Death March."
On the same day, the Japanese army occupied strategic locations such as the Visayas. After occupying the Bataan Peninsula, the Japanese army continued shelling and bombing of Corregidor Island. On May 2, the Japanese army carried out fire preparations for the island, and on the 5th, under artillery cover
The troops landed on the left and right in two groups and launched an attack on the fortress on the island. 15,000 U.S. and Philippine troops relied on tunnel fortifications to resist and organized death squads to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
On the 6th, the Japanese follow-up troops entered the battle, and Wainwright led the remaining U.S. and Philippine troops to surrender. On the 7th, the Japanese army occupied the island. On the 10th, the U.S. troops stationed in the mountains of Mindanao and Northern Luzon surrendered. On the 18th, the U.S. troops stationed in Panay Island stopped
Resistance. At this point, the Japanese army controlled the entire Philippines.
Hopkins told Hu Zhiyong everything about the US military in the Philippines, waiting for the other party to give him a clear statement. The third master took out a large number of photos taken by satellites and drones and handed them to the astute diplomat: "
The Japanese army is very defensive, and there are a large number of British, French and local prisoners captured. To be honest, we are old friends and I will never look back, but they-"
Hopkins smiled. Hu Zhiyong's meaning was very clear. He had no obligation to take risks for prisoners of other countries.
"Mr. President made it clear that he will not let your troops take risks in vain!" Hopkins took out a check: "This is 100 million. Once the rescue is completed, we will give you an even bigger surprise! About
Mr. President has already negotiated with the captives from Britain and other countries. You are a businessman, so just settle with the gold you like!"
Hu Zhiyong is in trouble. There are so many prisoners, and the place of imprisonment is in San Fernando, the center of Luzon. Not only is it difficult to rescue in the plains, but there is no hiding place after the rescue. The Japanese army will definitely dispatch troops to encircle and suppress them!
"It's very difficult!" Hopkins did not avoid this question.
"I have a suggestion!" Hu Zhiyong thought about it and quickly made up his mind: "Even if we rescue them, we can't send them out of the Philippines. Instead of doing this, let them pick up guns and fight guerrillas on the island with the Japs!"
"
"Where do the guns and supplies come from? Can their bodies still hold on?" Hopkins asked worriedly.
"These problems are not difficult to solve!" Hu Zhiyong said cheerfully: "I use helicopters to provide them with the supplies and weapons they need, and I also parachute doctors to treat their injuries. In the Philippines, my business system is still running."
"Oh?" Hopkins looked at Hu Zhiyong in surprise: "The little devils have occupied that place, and your business is still going on?"
"It's not business, but my people are still in the Philippines," Hu Zhiyong smiled: "They are usually businessmen, but when needed, they pick up a gun and become the bravest warriors!"
"Okay, I hope you can succeed!" Hopkins stood up: "I have to go back quickly and report the situation to the president."
"Okay, correspondent!"
"arrive!"
"Use my special plane to send the American pilot and special envoy to Los Angeles!" Hu Zhiyong also stood up and loudly announced that the plane was ready to take off.
"yes!"
After seeing off the special envoy Hopkins, Hu Zhiyong sent a telegram to Yongxiang. Since the recovery of all Myanmar, 6,000 people of the Blood Wolf have quietly entered the Philippines from the Thai mainland.
"The Japanese concentration camp has a guard regiment, about 3,000 people. The fortifications are very strong and the defense is very tight. Once the surrounding enemies hear the sound of gunshots, they will rush over soon!" Yongxiang reported with difficulty, expressing his mission.
Very difficult to complete.
"Send me to the Philippines!" Hu Zhiyong decided to try this hard nut, but Hou Dashun was frightened.
"Master, I'll go!" It's dangerous, and Hu Zhiyong, the pillar that holds the sky, must not be allowed to take risks!
"Don't worry!" Hu Zhiyong said with a slight smile: "I am the most expert in special warfare. Besides, I have their family to protect me, so I will not be in danger."
Hu Zhiyong pointed at the Xueer family beside him and said proudly.
"Planes, artillery shells and bullets, they can't protect you!" Hou Dashun firmly refused. Anyone can go, but the young master must not go!
"You!" Hu Zhiyong smiled. He was very touched by Hou Dashun's concern for him, but this operation was of great importance and he had to plan it himself! In order to dispel Hou Dashun's worries, Hu Zhiyong said subtly: "I only give them money."
The ideas and actions are executed by Yongxiang and others."
Seeing that Hu Zhiyong had decided to leave, Hou Dashun had no choice but to say: "Retrieve four people, A Ji, A Wen, A Wei, and A Lun, so that I can rest assured!"
"Forget it, I'll take Ah Wei, Allen and them with me. There are too many people to move around." Hu Zhiyong adopted a compromise method and told Hou Dashun his plan of action.
"Speed boat attack, okay, I agree with this action!" The Philippines is surrounded by sea water on all sides, and it is safer to use speed boats than helicopters. Hou Dashun said with confidence: "Keep in touch, I will communicate with you 24 hours a day!"
"
On the night of Hu Zhiyong's operation, it suddenly rained heavily. The sea water surged and overturned the speedboat of more than 100 tons. He, Ah Wei, and Allen hugged Xueer's family tightly and protected them carefully.
Radio and sidearms.
In the middle of the night, the speedboat in which Hu Zhiyong was sitting finally docked, and a few birds were heard in the distance. Ah Wei responded hurriedly, shouting in a low voice: "I am Ah Wei!"
"Where is the young master!" Wen Liang quickly walked out of the hiding place and arrived at the speedboat and asked.
"Commander Blood Wolf, why are you so careless?" Hu Zhiyong was the first to jump ashore and smiled at Wen Liang: "Haha, some birds come out at night, but not all birds are active at night."
"Master, in order to prevent accidents, the captain personally set the code like this." Wen Liang took the things Hu Zhiyong was carrying and explained to him.
The place to dock was the cliff of Ibanan. After everyone landed on the island, he ordered the speedboat to go back quickly. Wen Liang had already prepared the rope under the cliff, and they climbed the rope to the surface of Luzon.
.
Yongxiang and others greeted Hu Zhiyong and soon walked into the dense woods. Pampanga Province is one of the administrative regions of the Philippines, located in the central and western part of Luzon Island. Here there are rivers, sparsely populated areas, and large areas of wasteland waiting to be exploited.
The Japanese army built a concentration camp here precisely to allow hundreds of thousands of prisoners to create the food resources they desperately needed for the war. The heavy rain was still falling, and Hu Zhiyong said without hesitation: "Quickly, divide into squad-based battle units."
Team, let’s catch him unawares!”
"Master, the enemy has laid a large number of mines on the outer perimeter, making it impossible to pass through!" Dechang sat down frustrated and recounted what he had discovered.
"River! Along the tributaries of the Pampanga River, the little devils will never lay mines!" Hu Zhiyong affirmed, because he knew the river course. The little devils needed transportation, and they also needed to fish in the river.
"Yes, if we do this, we will be able to march right under the enemy's nose very quickly!" Yongxiang slapped his thigh and said slyly: "Wen Liang, show off your good show, it's time to quickly change your clothes and lead the team to set off!"
"yes!"
Blood Wolf often carries a set of Japanese military uniforms in his luggage. They often put on such good shows, so that the little devil often suffers and has no countermeasures. Although the password is very confidential, lurking and reconnaissance are the skills of Blood Wolf. Eavesdropping on passwords
Not difficult.
Hu Zhiyong looked at the soldiers changing uniforms and carefully warned: "Don't use guns unless absolutely necessary. Once you fire, you must pretend to be a Japanese soldier and cause the Japanese army to attack in chaos!"
"Yes! Let's go!" Wen Liang agreed and gave the order to the blood wolf warrior who had changed his clothes.
