Lost and Spy

Life in the Philippines is simple day-to-day.

Relatively speaking, it can even be described as safe.

The Allied Air Force will come to bomb once every few days, but the main target is still the Port of Manila.

As for other cities in the Philippines, the Allies do not seem to have much interest.

And those local guerrillas?

completely negligible.

The arrogant Japanese army, before the outbreak of the war of aggression against China, once arrogantly said that one imperial soldier can deal with ten Chinese soldiers.

But as the war continued and Japanese casualties continued to increase, this rhetoric changed, and he became an imperial soldier who could fight two Chinese soldiers.

However, in the Philippines, the Japanese army still declared that even a hundred Filipino guerrillas were no match for a single imperial soldier.

There are elements of arrogance, but it also reflects the low combat effectiveness of the Filipino guerrillas from another aspect.

Therefore, Colonel Uekawa, including the driver, has only one car, one truck, and eight soldiers including the driver for protection.

The main reason why he did this is that he is an officer who is not leaving in the Philippines, so he can't leave a squadron to protect him, right?

Another reason is that he didn't take the combat effectiveness of the Filipino guerrillas to heart at all.

The last reason is what do you need so many people for?How about freeing up the truck compartment to load supplies?
Therefore, in the car in front, there are five people sitting with the driver.

In the cab of the truck, there were three people squeezed together with the driver.

On the carriage, only one soldier was in charge of guarding.

In most cases, when the guerrillas saw a car protected by the Japanese army, they generally did not dare to take the initiative to attack.

Colonel Shangchuan was also attacked, but as soon as his men fought back, the guerrillas immediately retreated.

So, what's so scary about it?
As for why the truck?

In addition to being used for soldiers to ride, there is another main function:
Ship supplies!
Send the urgently needed materials from A to B, and then take a batch of materials from B to C.

This business is really booming, it's wonderful.

Tomorrow morning, Shangchuan will leave and rush to Naang.

If all goes well, Naon will be reached before dark.

It is said that the supplies on that truck were already so full that the soldiers could only sit on the cargo.

In order to ensure that more supplies could be loaded, Colonel Kamikawa also quietly sold off his only machine gun.

It is not known who it was sold to.

"Philippine guerrillas, there is nothing to be afraid of, and machine guns are useless." Colonel Uekawa told his subordinates: "However, if you sell the machine gun, you can buy more supplies and exchange for more money. Can free up more seats!"

Such a businessman, no, if such an officer does not get rich, who will get rich?
It is not known how Kamikawa Dazuo's ability to command the army to fight, but from the perspective of a businessman, I am afraid that few people can be better and more responsible than him.

And the time and route of his action were sent to Meng Shaoyuan immediately.

So detailed that Meng Shaoyuan could only smile bitterly: "Unbelievable, isn't it? In China, if we want to get such a piece of information, we don't know how much effort and sacrifice our agents will have to make, but here?"

A child who often went to and from the military camp was able to obtain such important information.

Ridiculous, but also normal.

As the war progressed, a large number of casualties occurred, and now the Japanese army, whether it is officers or soldiers, is no longer that elite army.

With the addition of a large number of recruits, the combat effectiveness began to be greatly rewarded, and military discipline began to show varying degrees of laxity.

Especially in places like the Philippines and Thailand, in addition to facing bombing from the Allied forces, the ground troops do not need to contact the enemy for the time being, and their small life is quite comfortable.

Once a person lives too comfortably, everyone knows what the result will be.

"No matter what, let's prepare to welcome Colonel Uekawa." Meng Shaoyuan cheered up: "Since the US military was defeated, this will be the first major battle for the Philippines."

These words are downright ridiculous.

A total of 28 people formed a "big battle"!
……

Today, the weather in the Philippines is excellent.

Early in the morning, the sun spread to the earth.

It was so warm when it shone on the person, and he even felt a little drowsy not long after waking up.

Meng Shaoyuan didn't smoke either, with a straw in his mouth: "Gan Ning."

"exist."

"After the evacuation is completed, rest for two months, and I will give you another task."

"Boss, please tell me." When Gan Ning called "Boss", he always felt that he was not as smooth as the officer.

"Find a good girl and marry her. Two months is enough to have your own seeds."

"what?"

Gan Ning didn't react at all, and after a while he said, "Boss, let's talk about this matter later."

"It can't be released anymore." Meng Shaoyuan lay there, looking up at the sky: "An old man like Xu Zhu already has a wife, why can't you have one?"

Xu Zhu next to me coughed lightly twice, as if to remind the boss that I, a big bastard, was right there.

Meng Shaoyuan just pretended not to hear: "There is also Zhao Yun, who also has a beloved girl, otherwise, he will also evacuate with me this time.

You are all my brothers, all of you.You still have tasks to continue to perform, but you can't leave it behind, you can't live without your own blood.

To put it in an unlucky word, if one day you die, many years later, when the surviving brothers are old and die, who will worship you?

But having children is different. When they grow up, when they come to our grave, they can proudly say, look, this is my father, a hero, a hero who died for the country! "

For a moment, everyone was silent.

It was Gan Ning who spoke first: "Actually, it's good that we are still alive. There are so many hidden agents who sacrificed their lives, but no one knows what they did. Some of them even bear the infamy of traitors."

"Therefore, we must have someone alive." Meng Shaoyuan said in a trance: "When peace really comes, we must let our descendants know how many people sacrificed for this country, and how many people are unknown heroes.

unsung hero?Why?They threw their lives and blood for this country, why can't future generations know their exploits?Not ten years?That is 20 or 30 years, we must let everyone know that they are heroes! "

"Your words are enough." Li Zhifeng sighed: "At least, those people, the spirit of the sky, will feel relieved when they hear your words."

Meng Shaoyuan gave a wry smile, just being relieved, can they get their young lives back?People who are alive have to do something.

"Hush, here we come." Shang Heng suddenly whispered.
