The "Awa Maru", this behemoth on the sea, is quietly moored in the port of Manila.

All the supplies we brought have been unloaded.

Then, a small amount of supplies and important information evacuated from Manila began to board the ship.

"let's start."

Takuma Shintani silently issued the order.

Jiangcheng Taizheng was ordered to escort this batch of top-secret information.

This was also arranged by Takuma Shintani himself.

The time of separation has come.

When Jiang Chengda was boarding the ship, he didn't even look at Meng Shaoyuan.

Some people don't need to be seen, they will always be in your heart.

Meng Shaoyuan didn't look much at it either.

There is no need for this.

Because, everyone has a task.

Echeng Taisho went to Japan, which was nothing more than a different battlefield to continue fighting.

Turning his head, he saw Li Zhifeng next to him with a somewhat ugly expression.

"What's wrong?" Meng Shaoyuan asked.

"I got caught in the rain and I don't feel well." Li Zhifeng wiped the rain off his face: "Just go back and have a bowl of hot food."

"You go back first." Meng Shaoyuan didn't care.

There was not much evacuation material, and it was quickly loaded onto the ship.

Then, there are those Japanese expatriates.

Just like last time, Japanese expats began to board the ship at 8 p.m.

The Japanese expatriates who had suffered countless hardships and had been waiting for an unknown amount of time in the miserable wind and rain finally saw the hope of life.

The team formed three lines.

This time, there were no complaints.

"I really envy them." Xi Lian Si Zhen suddenly sighed.

He didn't continue, but everyone knew what he meant.

They can finally leave this terrible place.

After hearing this, Meng Shaoyuan seemed to still have something to say, and added: "I don't know when this ship will come again next time."

Yes, when will the "Awa Maru" come again next time?

Although the supplies brought this time were not much, they at least brought hope to the Japanese army.

The hope of not starving to death.

It is hard to imagine that the simplest human wish, "Don't starve to death", would happen to the Japanese soldiers.

The Philippines has become a nightmare for the Japanese army.

Originally, after occupying the Philippines, Japan thought they could finally sit back and relax.

But I didn't expect that this was just the beginning of the Japanese army's nightmare.

The Philippines is only a large archipelago of 300,000 square kilometers, but its strategic location is extremely important and it is the frontline of the entire Pacific War.

Japan has dispatched a total of 630,000 troops to the Philippines. It can be said that they have staked their entire family fortune here.

However, Japan still far underestimated the cruelty of the war.

The longer the war, the more decisive the success or failure will be whether the supply at the rear can keep up with the consumption at the front.

The staple food of the Japanese is rice, and this crop is particularly susceptible to mold in the humid and hot environment of the Philippines.

The garrison does not engage in farming and does not work in the fields, so food can only be collected from various places in the occupied areas. Supplies are related to the survival of the army.

The problem is that supply is Japan's weakest aspect.

The Battle of Midway was a turning point in the Pacific War. After this battle, Japan gradually lost air and sea control, which made it even worse for the already fragile sea supply lines.

The Japanese fleet bound for the Philippines is a living target for American fighter jets and torpedo boats. The Americans can easily blow them up and sink them to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish.

Just in August, the top Japanese military officials didn't know which nerve in their head had short-circuited, and they actually ordered the "Tamajin Maru", carrying the 13th Regiment of the 26th Division and a large amount of supplies, to set off from Taiwan.

Forced reinforcements to the Philippines.

As a result, it arrived in the waters of Luzon Island and was quickly attacked by a US submarine and sank.

Of the 4,820 people on board, only 414 made it to the Philippines alive.

The US military bombed the Philippines one after another. The later the war reached, the more the Japanese soldiers on the Philippine Islands tightened their belts.

After the Battle of Laite Island broke out, the Japanese army was short of guns, ammunition, food and medicine. What should they do?

The defeated officers could only abandon their strongholds and run into the tropical jungle with their remaining defeated generals to fight guerrillas, holding on to their last hope.

But this is just running from one hell to another. Once you step into it, you can never get out.

The bad news of the Battle of Laite Island continued to spread to the rear.

It won't be long before cities like Manila will soon be attacked.

The Japanese troops stationed here are simply repeating the same experience as their colleagues on Laite Island.

Meng Shaoyuan's eyes fell on the "Awa Maru".

He saw Jiangcheng Taisheng standing on the deck, staring towards here.

Meng Shaoyuan smiled.

He knows that the other person cannot see his smile.

But it doesn't matter.

Take care, brother, and have a safe journey!

At one o'clock in the morning, the "Awa Maru" made a long blast and then slowly left the Manila port.

…

Echeng Taisho returned to Japan smoothly.

Under Takuma Shintani's advance arrangements, he entered the Tokyo Intelligence Department and was responsible for the management of top-secret files.

On the eve of Japan's surrender, the Japanese intelligence agency ordered the destruction of top-secret documents.

However, Echeng Taisho relied on his memory to memorize a large amount of unknown information.

After the war, Japan surrendered and U.S. troops were stationed in Japan.

After that, the U.S. garrison continued to receive intelligence and followed the clues to arrest a large number of Japanese spies and senior commanders who had committed war crimes.

Moreover, the U.S. military subsequently mastered a large amount of top-secret information about Japan.

And behind these mysterious pieces of information, there is a name:

nightingale!

Written in Chinese characters:

"nightingale"!

…

China, Nanjing, Military Command Bureau.

"Director Mao, this is a document from Tokyo, Japan, requested by our U.S. allies to help us investigate."

"What's up?"

The new director of the Military Command Bureau, Mao Renfeng, did not even raise his head.

"U.S. allies asked us whether we have a sleeper spy codenamed 'Nightingale' in Tokyo."

"Nightingale?" Mao Renfeng put down his pen.

"I checked the files, and it seems that there is no such spy. Especially in Japan, we generally have detailed files on spies sent abroad. But there is no such person."

"Yeah?"

Mao Renfeng frowned.

He thought there for a while and then said: "Could it be that Dai Li arranged it before?"

"I guess that's the case, otherwise we wouldn't have no information."

If that's the case, there's nothing surprising.

When Dai Li was alive, he arranged a large number of hidden spies, and only he had the complete list.

"Immediately find a way to find this person." Mao Renfeng felt a little strange: "It stands to reason that Japan has surrendered and the war of resistance is over. There is no need for Nightingale to continue to hide her identity. Why hasn't she contacted us yet?"

"Maybe there is a possibility."

"explain."
