Lost and Spy

Pagoley Schools.

This is a school with a lot of history, built by the Spaniards back then.

When the Americans arrived, they remodeled it.

Subsequently, it became a school exclusively for foreigners other than Filipinos.

After the Japanese came, Pagolye's fate began to change.

In the end, it became a large prison for prisoners.

All the Japanese are assembled.

When Daijun Raremoto announced his decision to stop the resistance and hand over the troops to Shibu Taniguchi to lead all the Japanese troops to surrender to the U.S. Army, beyond his expectation, his subordinates behaved so calmly.

There was no questioning or resistance like Second Lieutenant Masui.

Perhaps, the vast majority of people already think that there is no need to continue this kind of war, right?
Rare Ben Daijun also gave his subordinates different choices.

Those who are willing to surrender will surrender in an orderly manner under the leadership of Shibu Taniguchi.

Unwilling, His Excellency Shibukuchi Taniguchi has communicated with the Americans, and the Americans promised that as long as they put down their weapons, they can leave safely.

Only a few chose the latter path.

"Then, Taniguchi-kun, I'll leave it to you."

It seemed that a very important thing had been accomplished, and Rare Ben Daijun heaved a sigh of relief: "The prisoners are queuing up. You can take the soldiers and go out."

"What about you, Mr. Rare Ben, do you have to report it to Your Excellency the Commander?" Meng Shaoyuan asked with concern.

Rare Ben Daijun smiled: "Yes, this is my duty. Please hurry up, Taniguchi-kun."

After speaking, he walked towards the office.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and said, "Taniguchi-san, don't forget our agreement!"

……

Captain Prince couldn't believe it.

Charles went in alone, and actually persuaded those Japanese monkeys to surrender?

When he saw the Japanese soldiers coming out in line, Captain Prince sighed:
"Charles, you are really a magician!"

……

"Your Excellency, this is the case."

Rare Ben Daijun made a brief report to Yanbuchi three times.

Unexpectedly, Iwabuchi was not very angry three times, but just said:
"I see, rare book, so be it."

After speaking, the phone was hung up.

Are you numb?
Rare Ben Daijun smiled helplessly.

He opened the cabinet, and inside was a brand new military uniform.

He took it easy.

After looking in the mirror for a while, he felt very satisfied with himself.

Then, he sat back at his desk, took out the scrapped manuscript, read it for a while, and lit it.

The manuscripts were all thrown into the wastebasket.

He took out his pistol and murmured, "Taniguchi-san, you must keep your promise."

Then he put the pistol in his mouth and pulled the trigger.

……

This was the most successful hostage rescue since the Battle of Manila broke out.

A total of 1523 hostages were rescued.

Although the number of rescued hostages was not as high as that of St. Thomas University, the process was unusually smooth.

Except for Lieutenant William's unauthorized attack, which resulted in certain casualties, Captain Prince's rangers did not fire a single shot during the subsequent rescue process.

It's all the work of one man:
charles!
It was not the first time Meng Shaoyuan heard the title of "magician".

Before, during the Cabanatu rescue, the Americans also called him that.

When this title came out of Captain Prince's mouth again, it seemed that these American troops had already determined that he was a magician.

Captain Prince showed up at the Pogolier School with the U.S. military.

So far, these hostages don't know what happened.

Horror was written all over their faces.

They only thought that the Japanese were going to massacre them.

Even if the U.S. military appeared, they would not be able to judge the origin of these people who wore military uniforms different from those of the Japanese army.

"I am Captain Prince, Sixth Ranger Battalion, Sixth Army, United States of America."

Captain Prince said with the tone of a conqueror: "I declare that you are free!"

The hostages were silent.

They still don't seem to believe that such a great happiness has come so soon.

A man asked cautiously, "Are you really Americans?"

When he saw Captain Prince nodded earnestly, the man burst into tears. He turned around and said to his companion:

"God, we survived, we survived!"

The hostages suddenly burst into earth-shattering cheers!
They are no longer willing to look back on how they spent these days, but in any case, they:
survived!

……

In the office, a corpse lay quietly on the desk.

That is, Rare Book Daijun!
Meng Shaoyuan knew his fate long ago.

In the wastebasket next to it, some papers were still burning.

"Hey, no need."

Seeing that Lieutenant William wanted to check, Meng Shaoyuan stopped him: "Here, it's just this guy's useless novel."

"Oh, he can also write novels?" Lieutenant William asked curiously.

Meng Shaoyuan didn't answer, but opened the iron box he carried with him, took out a stack of manuscripts, took out a few, and threw them into the wastebasket.

"What is this?" Lieutenant William asked curiously.

"A pile of rubbish, real rubbish."

Seeing the fire burning hotter and hotter, Meng Shaoyuan threw all the manuscripts into it: "This is garbage that would become great in one's fantasy!"

……

At the same time as Pagoley rescued, the rangers led by Lieutenant Colonel Musi and Tian Qi also rescued the Soba Camp Building.

The rescue here obviously didn't go so smoothly.

Lieutenant Colonel Musi and his men attacked twice in a row, but they were worried about hurting the hostages and did not use their full strength, so they were all repelled by the Japanese army.

Just when Lieutenant Colonel Musi was at a loss, Tian Qi made a suggestion.

There is a side door in the Soba camp, and the third floor can be reached through the safety ladder.

Perhaps, there can be used up.

With the mentality of giving it a try, Lieutenant Colonel Musi gave it to Tian Qiyi's team.

What Tian Qi couldn't believe was that the Japanese army didn't set up any defenses at the side gate.

It is unknown what the Japanese commanders here thought.

But luck is also on the side of the Americans.

Tian Qi led people into the third floor, and then found the place where the hostages were held.

After eliminating several Japanese troops, Tian Qi informed Lieutenant Colonel Musi that he had taken hostages.

Lieutenant Colonel Musi then ordered a desperate attack!

Tian Qi persisted until the Rangers appeared in front of him.

The Japanese troops in the Soba Camp Building were all wiped out.

839 hostages were rescued.

Whether it was the rescue of the Pegoly School or the rescue of the Soba Camp Building, they were two outstanding rescues in the Battle of Manila.

And these two times, relying on the outstanding performance of the two Chinese, they completed the task almost perfectly!
