Although there were jungle special operations, artillery and armored vehicles to help, and although the enemy was just a group of water ducks that had just landed ashore, the American and Filipino prisoners of war still suffered heavy casualties. The final statistics were that right at the gate of this not-so-large base, they More than 3,000 people actually fell, and among them, more than 30 people were trampled to death by their own people. The Japanese army also failed to get a good deal, and the corpses they left behind were as many as 2,600. Yu Ju, as for why there are no prisoners, just look at the scene where the prisoners of war randomly shot the corpses of the Japanese soldiers. How deep the hatred is, the fate of the Japanese prisoners will be miserable.
"Victory."
"We defeated the Japanese." American and Filipino prisoners of war cheered loudly. Few people noticed the jungle special forces, but those who did noticed were all surprised. Fourteen jungle special forces participated in the whole battle, and they killed Japanese soldiers. At most, but not to mention they died in the battle, there were not even any injured.
The prisoners of war had been hungry for too long. Zhang Liang suggested that they eat half full first and then slowly increase their food intake after they were on the road.
Grant held a bowl of porridge and ate it slowly while communicating with Zhang Liang: "This Japanese army is still a navy that is not good at land warfare. If it were an army, we would have no chance at all."
Zhang Liang thought for a moment and smiled: "I didn't expect you to be so weak."
Grant shouted a mouthful of porridge, froze, and swallowed the porridge with some difficulty. He smiled bitterly and said: "Although what you said is very unpleasant, it is true."
"I originally wanted to take you to Paranaque. The war there is not over yet. If possible, we should be able to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army. But looking at the situation, I think it is more reliable to evacuate quickly."
Grant knew that the most important reason why they had the opportunity to break out of the camp was because the Baijia Division broke out from Paranaque and held back the main force of the Japanese army. He was a little worried about whether the Baijia Division could successfully break through. He hesitated for a while and said : "Adjutant Zhang, I have a heartfelt request. Could you send a few people to Parañaque to have a look."
"There is no need. Our people are in contact with the headquarters. Soon, we will learn about the battle situation in Paranaque. Let your people speed up. The Japanese reinforcements will arrive in Manila tonight. If we can't keep distance, many people will die."
"Adjutant Zhang, please continue to command us. In this situation, you are the only one who can take us out of danger."
"OK."
At around ten o'clock in the morning, the sound of gunfire in Paranaque finally stopped. At the cost of more than 4,000 casualties, the Bajia troops killed nearly 3,000 Japanese troops and finally succeeded in breaking through. At this time, Zhang Liang The American and Filipino prisoners of war under his leadership have reached the Dasmariñas area.
After getting in touch with Guo Kui and Sharp, Bojia learned that the prisoners of war in the Cavite prisoner of war camp had successfully broken out with the help of the Xuebing Army, so he contacted Zhang Liang and made an appointment with them to meet in San Pedro.
At this time, the truth about the incoming Japanese army's failure to dispatch aviation to support the Paranaque battlefield was also revealed in a telegram sent to Guo Kui from the Xuebing Army Headquarters,
The Xuebing Army gave another great favor to the Americans. The aviation force of the Taiwan Strait Aviation Corps stationed in Kaohsiung dispatched more than 60 fighter sorties to Galayan Island. Masaharu Honma was worried about repeating the mistakes of the Fengxiang aircraft carrier fleet and did not dare to The release of Hainan Airlines to support Parañaque directly led to the failure of the 6th Marine Division's sniper attack on the Pajia Tribe. Not only did the Paca Tribunal escape, but it also directly led to the loss of the Cavite base.
It was almost noon when Furumura Keizo received the news that the base had been lost. Even though the Japanese army's combat power was more than a little stronger than that of the US-Philippine coalition, the Pajia troops had tanks and artillery to help them. The Japanese army fought hard all night, but in the end they could only take the initiative to get out of the way. Watching the enemy leave, at nearly seven o'clock, there were continuous huge explosions in the direction of the Cavite base. The explosions sounded. Furumura Qizang and others did not know what had happened there, but they were not panicked. There are more than 3,000 imperial troops left behind. Although there are more than 20,000 prisoners of war, they are skinny and skinny and have no weapons. What tricks can they do?
At half past eight, a major named Ishikawa Jumune made a suggestion to Furumura: Since the Americans have broken through to the south, it means that they have given up on Manila and failed to stop them, and they will definitely be held accountable afterwards. You know , General Masaharu Honma is from the army, he will atone for his sins and capture Manila first.
Furumura accepted his suggestion, and for the sake of safety, he sent Ishikawa to lead a squadron of soldiers back to Cavite to collect ammunition. The squadron encountered soldiers who had fled from Cavite in Ocobar. Only then did Ishikawa know that Cavite It has fallen, and the huge explosion before was precisely because the oil depot and ammunition depot were exploded.
The Japanese who escaped from Cavite were still terrified and were afraid of being held accountable, so they exaggerated the number of enemy troops: "There are many enemies, tens of thousands of them."
Ishikawa couldn't tell the truth from the false and did not dare to return to Cavite. He immediately gathered Ocobar's Japanese troops and rushed back to Paranaque.
"Cavite has fallen, and the prisoners of war have been rescued." Gucun muttered as if he had been struck by lightning when he received the report and stood stunned on the spot.
"Sir, what should we do now?" Ishikawa asked anxiously.
The prisoners of war in Cavite were originally the greatest achievement of the Hosho aircraft carrier fleet in the Battle of the Philippines. Because of the existence of these prisoners of war and the sacrifice of Soma Masabumi, Furumura and others may be able to offset their merits and demerits and avoid being held responsible for the destruction of the Hosho aircraft carrier fleet. , but now, Furumura, who understands the secrets of the strife between the upper echelons of the army and navy, knows that he may be able to escape death, but he will never be able to get ahead in this life.
Gucun suddenly raised his head, his face looked very ferocious, and his bloodshot eyes revealed a ferocious smell, and he roared: "Attack Manila and kill all enemies who dare to resist."
The Manila Massacre took place, and the instigator turned out to be the Japanese navy who had always shown a "moderate" image. This group of less than 3,000 Japanese Marine officers and soldiers, led by Furumura, successively bloodbathed Manila, Caloocan, and Kuaishou. In Song, Valenzuela, nearly 170,000 Filipino civilians were brutally massacred. The mask of liberators that the Japanese army had tried to maintain since they sent troops to Southeast Asia was torn to pieces overnight by themselves...
This news spread, and public opinion around the world was in an uproar. Even the German dictator couldn't help but sigh after seeing a photo of Japanese soldiers picking up under-year-old babies in the Philippines: The Japanese are really a bunch of beasts.
Ouyang Yun received a telegram from Guangzhou three days later and learned of the news. He handed the telegram to Xin Bao for archiving. He summoned Jiang Huangyong and others to a meeting. He first informed everyone of the news, and then said: "Although the Manila Massacre is heartbreaking, , but it will help Southeast Asians understand the true face of the Japanese army. I want to establish a Southeast Asian guerrilla command centered in Bangkok. What do you think?"
"Are we developing guerrilla armed forces locally?" Chen Shichang asked,
"Well, didn't Shinawatra call me some time ago to say that there are now many resistance leaders from Indonesia, Malaysia and other countries gathered in Bangkok? He would gather them for specialized training in guerrilla warfare, and then help them sneak back into the country. The Japanese If we want to build Indonesia and Malaysia into stable logistics supply bases, we will let them have a fire in their backyard."
Jiang Huangyong: "Commander Chu can be put in charge of this matter. He has many students from the Spark Brigade under his command, so he is very familiar with doing this kind of thing."
"Xinbao, record it and send one copy to Guangzhou and the First Expeditionary Army each. It's a Class A secret."
"What about Myanmar and India?" Chen Shichang asked,
As the Japanese army's offensive in Southeast Asia became more intense, some anti-colonial underground forces in Myanmar and India began to become active. Not long after Chen Shichang arrived in Karachi, Indians came to test the house, and that's why he asked this question,
Ouyang Yun tapped his right hand on the table, thought for a while and said, "Let's set up another secret department under the guerrilla headquarters, which will be responsible for this matter. Liusu, you are responsible for this matter, S-class secret."
