The so-called "Fighting Manila" organization is actually extremely harmful.

In the name of so-called freedom and democracy, he deceives the people, makes money wantonly, and deceives male and female believers.

And once a dangerous moment comes, organizers will often run away as soon as possible.

Just like the Dalton in front of me.

He relied on deceptive slogans to gain support from many people.

With the money obtained through deception, he was already ready to escape.

And when Russ killed a Japanese officer, he knew the matter was serious.

Once "Battle Manila" is involved, everything is over.

Therefore, without any hesitation, he took advantage of the arrival of the "Awa Maru" and immediately implemented the plan he had prepared long ago.

escape!

He almost succeeded.

Unfortunately, he met someone:

Meng Shaoyuan!

He saw through this man at a glance.

"Fighting Manila" is not a large and prestigious organization, although Dalton is quite capable of making money, and he was able to extract such a huge sum of money from such a poor believer.

But with the arrest of Dalton, many unsolved clues were implicated in him.

This is just a small interlude.

But the moment Dalton was taken away, a plan suddenly appeared in Meng Shaoyuan's mind.

Maybe, you can make use of this person?

Many times, Meng Shaoyuan's plans were improvised without any warning in advance.

And when this plan suddenly appeared in my mind, all that was left was how to perfect it bit by bit.

The unlucky Dalton probably never dreamed that not only could he not escape, but he would become a pawn in someone else's plan.

It started to rain again.

Even the locals are bored to the extreme during the rainy season in the Philippines.

The sky finally cleared up in the morning, and I saw the sun that I rarely saw for several days. But in the blink of an eye, the rain fell mercilessly again.

Although the rainy season hindered the US military's offensive on Leite Island, it was undoubtedly a torture for those waiting to board the ship at the Manila port.

Umbrellas and raincoats have little effect.

It was a November day, with the rain raging, and it was bone-chilling.

Some people were shivering from the cold.

In order to ensure that they can reach the ship without delay, most people arrive early in the morning.

Cold, hungry, and tired.

Many people have reached their limits, both physically and mentally.

But they are still struggling to hold on.

There was no movement at all on the sea.

This also made them start to feel guilty.

Will the "Awa Maru" encounter any problems?

At this time, news came from nowhere that the Japanese 16th Kyoto Division on Laite Island had suffered a disastrous defeat under the U.S. offensive.

The captain of the 20th Regiment was killed by a U.S. naval gun, and the entire Third Infantry Brigade was "shattered to pieces."

This news made the already anxious atmosphere even more tense.

The Japanese were afraid that soon the U.S. military would attack them.

"Your Mightiness!"

At this time, Takuma Shintani also arrived at the port with his people.

"The top-secret information we have in the Philippines will be transported back to Japan on the Awa Maru, and I will personally escort it to the port."

As soon as he saw Meng Shaoyuan and Xilianjima, Takuma Shintani said: "After the cargo is unloaded on the 'Awa Maru', the intelligence will be on board as soon as possible."

"clear!"

Serian Temple then asked cautiously: "Sir, I heard that the Americans have begun to give up attacking on Laite Island again? This is the rainy season."

What he asked was already rather vague.

Takuma Shintani still heard what he meant, and after being silent for a while, he said: "You are all senior leaders of various departments, and I can tell you the truth about some things.

At present, the rumors in Manila are basically true, and we don’t know where this information was leaked from.

Regardless of the rainy season, the Americans, with the support of sea artillery fire, destroyed the entire Third Infantry Battalion of the 16th Division. Our army has moved to the Dagami and Buri lines, and Dulag has fallen into the hands of the US military.

What is even more unfortunate is that Dagami, where the headquarters of our 16th Division is located, has also fallen."

Everyone was stunned when they heard it.

Dagami was the core of the Japanese army's inland decisive battle support line and was well fortified. Now that it has been captured by the US military, it means that the depth of the southern line of Laite Island has been exposed to direct attack by the US military.

While the fighting was fierce on the southern front, the Japanese troops on the northern front also fell into passivity.

The Japanese troops holding on to the northern front were completely incapable of the offensive of the 1st Cavalry Division and the 24th Infantry Division of the U.S. Army, and were retreating steadily.

At this point, most of Laite Island has been controlled by the US military.

As for "Duetou Ridge", which has high hopes for the Japanese army's top brass, the situation is not optimistic either.

Here, the Japanese army arranged the first division with the strongest combat effectiveness to hold on.

The Japanese army also planned to launch a counterattack while the First Division held on.

However, since the Japanese reinforcements arrived in batches, it was difficult to form a joint force, let alone launch an attack, and even defend.

"Why has the situation gotten so bad?" Xilian Temple's real face looked a little ugly: "If Duan Tou Ridge is lost again, not only will it be difficult for our First Division to retreat, but even the retreat route of the 102nd Division on the flank will be blocked.

Completely cut off!

If Laite Island is lost, what will happen to the entire Luzon Island?"

"These are not things we should consider." Takuma Shintani looked serious: "Everyone, please do your own thing and leave the rest to the military."

Although his expression was serious, his eyes met with Meng Shaoyuan's, and the passion of victory flashed in their eyes.

Suddenly, there was a burst of cheers from the port.

The huge figure of the "Awa Maru" with its huge hull began to appear in sight.

While waiting there, the Japanese expatriates who were originally exhausted also got up one after another.

Some people screamed and screamed at the top of their lungs, and some even squatted on the ground and howled loudly.

After waiting here for so long, I finally got hope.

Some people eagerly tried to push forward, but were immediately blocked and even beaten by the military police.

The "Awa Maru" finally slowly docked at the port.

The Philippines has been besieged until now, and the "Awa Maru" is the only ship that can deliver supplies here.

"Let's go."

Takuma Shintani gave an order, and several senior leaders followed him towards the dock.

"Report!"

At this moment, a man came running quickly.

Jiangcheng Taisho!

Takuma Shintani nodded to him expressionlessly: "Come with us."

At this time, the "Awa Maru" stopped and quickly began to unload the cargo.

Food, ammunition.

Although it is not much, it can bring some hope to the Japanese army in Manila.

At least, Japan has not given up on itself so far, and perhaps the empire still has hope for a comeback!
Chapter completed!
