Lost and Spy

Chapter 3209 Army Guide
Here is the most successful rescue in WWII history:
Kabanatu Great Rescue!
When Lieutenant General Walter Kruger, commander of the Sixth Army, saw the [-] returning prisoners of war, he found his eyes were moist.

God, what kind of torture these people have suffered in these three years!

Thank God!

They were finally able to come back.

"Charles!"

Lieutenant General Kruger's eyes fell on Meng Shaoyuan:
"On behalf of the U.S. military and the United States of America, thank you for your hard work and hard work!"

"Thank you, Commander." Meng Shaoyuan replied neither humble nor overbearing.

"Now, we can attack Manila with a free hand."

At this time, Lieutenant General Kruger was full of spirits, wishing he could stand on the highest point in Manila immediately: "Charles, are you from Manila?"

"Yes, General, I lived there for a long time."

"That's really great." Lieutenant General Kruger asked immediately: "So, can you give me some useful suggestions?"

He knew that the Charles in front of him belonged to Peter Lin.

As an excellent intelligence agent, he must be able to bring him the information he urgently needs.

"General, under the command of Iwabuchi three times, Manila is fully prepared for the battle!"

Meng Shaoyuan said in an interface: "Now the whole of Manila has become a huge war fortress.

In Manila, there are a total of [-] marines and [-] security forces. In every place where war may occur, Iwabuchi has transformed it into a defensive position three times.

What I can assure you is that when advancing towards Manila, there will be heavy fighting in the outer positions, and when entering the city of Manila, it will become a tomb.

When you enter downtown Manila, for a long time, you will find that there is not a single Japanese soldier in broad daylight, but when your tanks just touch here, countless Japanese soldiers will appear out of thin air.

Fire from holes in the ground, from cracks in walls, from any inconceivable place.Many of the bunkers are well camouflaged, and they have laid a large number of mines, which will slow our advance very slowly. "

Following Meng Shaoyuan's description, Kruger's face gradually became serious.

He is not an arrogant general, on the contrary, he is a very cautious soldier.

After landing in Luzon, because of his caution, MacArthur also caused serious dissatisfaction.

Although I had fully prepared myself for the battle of Manila before, it seems that what I think is still too simple.

"Even, even encirclement will become extremely difficult."

Meng Shaoyuan's intelligence did not end there: "There are many defensive forts around Manila and in the city, and among these fortresses, Tramuros Castle is undoubtedly the strongest.

The 75mm caliber artillery of the Sherman tank could not destroy it at all. It could only rely on the outflanking of the infantry unit and the blasting operations of the engineers to penetrate the Japanese defense bit by bit.

General, you can completely assume that when you finally enter the urban area, there will be intensive firepower in various restaurants, shopping malls, and buildings.In the Manila Hotel, nearly 1000 troops were arranged.

It is hard for you to imagine that from day to night, the superior artillery fire relied on by the Allied forces will no longer be absolute. Cold weapons such as bayonets and daggers will become the key to determining the victory or defeat of Manila! "

"Report to General MacArthur immediately."

Kruger's face became more and more serious.

If the information provided by the other party is completely true, then the US military will encounter unprecedented challenges after landing on Luzon Island!
"According to the current advance speed, the Xuanzi defense line will be the first to erupt in fierce battle." Meng Shaoyuan continued: "This will be the first fierce battle you face."

"The war must go on."

Although there were many difficulties, it also inspired Kruger's determination as a soldier: "Lieutenant Colonel Musi."

"Yes, General."

"I am very grateful for your efforts in rescuing the prisoners of war." Kruger stared at his subordinates: "I know you and your people are exhausted, but I still have a task for you.

Take your rangers and immediately approach Xuanzi's defense line. After fully understanding the Japanese army's defenses, it is allowed to launch a tentative attack on the Japanese army in front! "

"Yes, General!" Lieutenant Colonel Musi said without any hesitation.

"As for you, Charles." Kruger turned his attention to Meng Shaoyuan again: "I know it's been very hard, I have fought in Manila for so long, and I live in fear every day, living in darkness.

In the rescue of Kabanatu, you took the lead and penetrated into the heart of the Japanese army. You made outstanding contributions. Moreover, you are not under my jurisdiction, and I have no right to issue orders to you. "

"General, I know what you mean." Meng Shaoyuan interrupted him: "No one knows Manila better than me. I know every defense of the Japanese army, what weapons the Japanese army deployed in which positions, and how many soldiers there are." .

Therefore, I am the most suitable to be a guide. I am willing to join Lieutenant Colonel Musi in attacking Manila first! "

"Okay, Charles, okay. I thank you for everything you brought to the victory of the war." Kruger said with great satisfaction: "By the way, Charles, what rank are you?"

Military rank?

When Meng Shaoyuan was in the military command, his military rank was colonel, but his real military rank was captain.

here?

What rank does he have?
Crook probably saw it too.

This person should be a secret intelligence agent developed by Peter Lin, right?
"Take Major Charles to change into a set of clothes." Kruger said with a smile: "Charles, what you are wearing is quite dirty."

Meng Shaoyuan also laughed.

US Army Major?

Of course, this kind of temporary appointment does not count.

It is nothing more than a formal recognition of Kruger.

So, Meng Shaoyuan took a good bath.

All filth has been removed.

That set of filthy clothes was likely to be burned by the Americans.

When he appeared in front of Kruger again, he had already put on a new set of military uniform of the US military major!

Meng Shaoyuan liked the feeling of wearing a military uniform.

That is one of the most sacred symbols!
But he also has some regrets.

When can I wear the military uniform of my country?

Perhaps, this will always be just a dream.

At this time, Lieutenant Colonel Murthy and his rangers had assembled.

These guys who just came back from Kabanatu are still full of energy.

A car has been assembled.

All weapons have been changed.

With sufficient ammunition and equipment, Meng Shaoyuan had to sigh again for the strength of the US military's logistics support.

"Guys, I wish you luck!" General Crook said:

"Major Charles, Lieutenant Colonel Musi, I hope you can bring news of victory!"
