Chapter 3252 Hostage Negotiation

Meng Shaoyuan encountered a big problem that he couldn't think of a solution to.

A total of 3,500 hostages.

How to save?

He couldn't help but glance at Lieutenant William.

But the lieutenant was even more helpless.

There are less than six hours left before the deadline set by the Japanese.

They all know that with the current crazy state of the Japanese, they will definitely start a massacre here.

"Perhaps, only a strong attack."

When Meng Shaoyuan said these words, Lieutenant William immediately became nervous: "But Major, many people will die."

Yes, many people will die.

Meng Shaoyuan took out his cigarette and smoked hard.

Suzuki Masaichi sent a sergeant who knew English to stay with Lieutenant William.

Moreover, they do not have the power to attack by force.

"Sir, do you really not want to think about it? We still have many weapons that can be used in exchange for hostages."

The Americans don't care about these 12 mortars. Even if they hand them over, they will be reinforced with more cannons and artillery shells.

Lieutenant William was a little helpless: "So, what about the weapons? 12 chemical mortars! Each cannon is exchanged for a hundred hostages, and for the remaining hostages, we use artillery shells in exchange."

"I'll go."

"No, noon, this is the final time limit." Suzuki Masaichi said coldly: "All US troops must evacuate Netting Street before 12 noon tomorrow!"

Thirty-five hundred hostages, whose heads could not be seen at a glance, were trembling under the Japanese bayonets.

After both parties reached an agreement, Lieutenant William immediately asked to see the hostages.

After seeing these hostages, Lieutenant William returned to Suzuki Masaichi: "Then, I will continue to return here before 12 noon tomorrow."

"Okay." Suzuki Masaichi readily agreed to this request.

…

And now, his top priority is to regain control of Knighting Street in his own hands as soon as possible.

After all, these are not humans, but a bunch of beasts!

The lieutenant can face the enemy calmly.

"The second request." Lieutenant William paused and said: "Six hours is too hasty. We have stored a large amount of supplies, weapons, and ammunition on Knighting Street. Since you are not willing to exchange these supplies for hostages,

, then, we can only move it or destroy it, and this will take time. "

It must be said that this proposal is full of great temptation.

After a long time, cigarette butts were all over the ground. He suddenly said: "Retreat!"

When he saw Lieutenant Colonel Masaichi Suzuki appear, Lieutenant William said calmly.

Therefore, after only a brief thought, Suzuki Masaichi agreed to the other party's request.

Lieutenant William seemed to see his embarrassment: "Our commander suggested that the US military on Knighting Street evacuate all heavy firepower and most of the soldiers before the specified time, but retain a platoon of troops on Knighting Street.

Lieutenant William walked into the Japanese position alone.

Suzuki Masaichi thought about it in his mind.

"Okay, okay." Lieutenant William sighed: "We will all evacuate Knighting Street before 12 noon. But, how can you guarantee that you can release all the hostages?"

He is even sure to seize any position of the US military.

But then, his reason stopped thinking this way.

This platoon will only maintain light firepower, and I will be here to supervise you to release the hostages. Once the hostages are released, this last platoon will also all evacuate."

Lieutenant William then said: "You stay here to take command and tell me what I need to do."

Suzuki Masaichi was startled for a moment.

If you can own 12 mortars, the combat effectiveness of your troops will be greatly improved.

"No!"

"Yes, report to your superiors immediately." Meng Shaoyuan said decisively: "For the safety of the hostages, all responsibilities will be borne by me. But, Lieutenant, someone must go to negotiate with the Japanese. We need time and our requirements!"

"At 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, I will send someone to supervise your evacuation!" Suzuki Masaichi said coldly.

But facing a group of beasts?

"Lieutenant William, 6th Ranger Battalion."

"What, retreat?"

As soon as Lieutenant William finished speaking, Suzuki Masaichi showed obvious impatience: "All US troops withdraw from Knighting Street. This is the only condition for releasing the hostages!"

Having said this, he immediately added: "Perhaps you can consider exchanging hostages again."

"In the evening, sir, we need time."

The Americans are also worried that after they evacuate, they will not keep their promises and continue to hold hostages.

The lieutenant suddenly had an idea in his mind. If these hostages rioted at the same time, and with the cooperation of the US military, they might not have no hope of survival.

Lieutenant William glanced at Pastor Milot, who was acting as a translator, and said: "We know that your department is currently short of food, so we are prepared to exchange food for hostages."

"No, we don't have any room for negotiation." Suzuki Masaichi said flatly: "I can wait until you tomorrow morning."

"I feel like this is a big prison."

Lieutenant William turned to the chaplain and spoke a few words in English.

Lieutenant William became visibly frustrated: "We are trapped here and there is absolutely nothing we can do about what happens outside."

Deathly silence.

Suzuki Masaichi had witnessed with his own eyes the power of mortars on the US military positions.

If the U.S. military only maintains a platoon with light firepower, even if the U.S. side does not abide by the agreement after releasing the hostages, it can still attack this U.S. force from east to west with Colonel Hiromichi Kawauchi and defeat this U.S. force in the shortest possible time.

silence.

However, this requires a high degree of agreement between both parties.

To be honest, looking at the hideous and ugly faces around him, the lieutenant was still a little scared.

Of course, he also proposed that he would also send people to supervise the withdrawal of US troops.

"The Imperial Japanese Marine Corps, Lieutenant Colonel Suzuki Masaichi." Suzuki Masaichi said solemnly: "Go ahead."

Lieutenant William was shocked: "Major, are you really going to retreat like this?"

So, he took a deep breath: "Please don't waste any more words, you don't have much time."

Suzuki Masaichi flatly refused: "I can frankly admit that we do have difficulties with food, but the outstanding soldiers of the Japanese Empire can completely bear it."

Lieutenant William compromised and gave a wry smile: "Okay, but we have two requirements. The first requirement is that I want to see the hostages and ensure that they are still safe."

The sergeant whispered in Suzuki Masaichi's ear: "He is saying, God bless you, pastor, please believe that we will rescue you, and you should also take care of yourself. Any place that can be anchored in the storm is a safe haven."

Suzuki Masaichi sneered.

haven?

There is no safe haven in the entire Manila battlefield. Everything will be completely destroyed amidst the sound of gunfire!
