Chapter 3254 Release the Hostages
At 11 o'clock, Lieutenant William appeared at the Japanese position.

His mission is only one:
Supervise the release of hostages by Japanese troops.

Suzuki Masaichi looked down on the loser with the attitude of a winner.

Lieutenant William also had obvious frustration on his face.

Yes, Netting Street, which had been holding on for so long and seemed like it could never be broken through, was resolved by Suzuki Masaichi's "strategy".

No one would be willing to accept it otherwise.

At that time, on Knighting Street opposite, most of the US troops had completed their evacuation except for one and a half remaining.

The direction of Hiromi Kawauchi also confirmed this idea.

The hostages can be released.

Lieutenant William, who was personally accompanied by Captain Changlong.

In one person's eyes, there is no way to detect that 500 people are missing among 500 people.

The faces of these hostages were still full of despair and fear.

There are Americans, British, French, Spanish, Indians and locals among them.

Lieutenant William looked at it: "Where is the priest?"

Yes, he didn't see Pastor Milot.

"The pastor voluntarily stayed here and continued to act as a translator and good offices negotiator."

Captain Changlong said expressionlessly: "Lieutenant, please don't waste time because of a priest."

He then heard Lieutenant William sigh.

Yes, don't waste time for one person.

Manila has long since become a city of the dead.

Once upon a time, this was a beautiful city and a city of hope in the eyes of Europeans and Americans.

Not only countless tourists come here every year, but also many large American companies operate here.

For example, the famous American General Electric, Del Monte, etc.

But after the war broke out, because the US military failed too quickly, many Europeans, Americans and Asians had no time to evacuate.

They were forced to stay here.

They originally thought that when the Japanese soldiers captured Manila, they would not do anything to civilians like them.

But they are all wrong.

The Japanese are not humans at all, but a bunch of beasts!
You can never understand the mind of an animal.

Horrible nightmares began to befall these civilians.

If it was just a nightmare before, then since the US military landed on Luzon Island, the nightmare has become hell!

From the beginning to the end of the Battle of Manila, more than [-] civilians were massacred by the Japanese army!

massacre!

Many of them were gathered together and massacred!

Thirty-five hundred people are insignificant compared to 500 people.

One person is even smaller than 500 people.

The US military will not sabotage the entire rescue plan because of one pastor.

Lieutenant William asked the Japanese to borrow a loudspeaker: "I am Lieutenant William of the Sixth Ranger Battalion. Please move toward Knighting Street immediately. Move toward Knighting Street immediately."

Don't crowd, don't crowd, you only have one hour! "

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were filled with ecstasy.

But none of them made a sound.

Because after so long of torture, they all knew one thing:

Never try to anger these Japanese.

Because these Japanese have already lost their humanity.

"Start now, evacuate!"

Lieutenant William did not dare to delay even a moment.

The hostages started to move.

Still no one spoke.

Still deathly silence.On the battlefield, a group of civilian hostages actually made no sound except footsteps when they evacuated. What a terrifying thing this is.

These are not hostages, these are a group of walking dead!
The one who made the sound was the Japanese army.

They ridiculed and abused them wantonly.

Sometimes, he would slap or kick the hostages who passed by him.

The hostage who was slapped didn't even dare to cover his face and just walked forward with the crowd.

The hostage who was kicked to the ground stood up and followed the hostage regardless of the pain.

"gentlemen."

Lieutenant William came to Suzuki Masaichi: "There are too many people, and I'm afraid there is not enough time. I ask sir to see humanity and give us another hour."

After Suzuki Masaichi hesitated, Lieutenant William took out two cans of luncheon meat from his bag: "You have already won, haven't you?"

You have already won.

This made Masaichi Suzuki, who was already in a good mood, even more happy.

Yes, he won.

And this victory depends entirely on oneself.

Even General Iwabuchi III personally commended him.

Besides, if you try to force entry after the allotted time regardless of everything, it will definitely cause trouble.

Once these hostages, who are about to be freed, are cornered, with the help of the US military, stimulating their legal resistance will be self-defeating.

And, of course, there’s the allure of two cans.

In the past, no matter how hungry Suzuki was, he would have sneered at canned meat.

However, when the mood is good, two cans of meat are very tempting.

"Humanitarian, yes."

Masaichi Suzuki let his orderly take down the can of meat: "I can give you another hour, but please remember, this is the last time I give in."

"Thank you, sir," Lieutenant William said calmly.

Suzuki Masaichi immediately ordered: "Immediately send a message to Colonel Kawauchi. Due to special reasons, entering Netting Street will be delayed until 1 p.m."

The first hostage finally entered Knighting Street.

From the first second he saw the U.S. military, he, who was silent just now, suddenly lay on the ground and cried loudly.

The emotions that had been suppressed for a long time were finally released.

"Hey, hey." Lieutenant Terl shouted loudly: "Now is not the time to be sad, hurry up, move forward, move forward, don't stop at any time!"

More and more hostages entered Knighting Street.

Under the command of the US military, they began to speed up their pace and move quickly towards the US military.

Under the desire to be free and live, fatigue, hunger, and pain have all been forgotten by them.

They just want to live.

"Sir, I think it's time for me to leave."

Lieutenant William saw the last hostage entering Knighting Street and said: "I think we will meet again on the battlefield."

From 11 o'clock to 1 o'clock in the afternoon, a full two hours.

Suzuki Masaichi didn't feel that the time was long at all.

He said with great satisfaction: "See you on the battlefield. I think you will still be defeated!"

"Perhaps. Goodbye, sir."

Lieutenant William left.

When he returned to the position, Lieutenant Lieutenant Terl immediately came up to him: "Everything is fine."

"Follow the hostages and evacuate immediately." Lieutenant William did not dare to neglect in the slightest.

"Yes, Lieutenant." Second Lieutenant Tell suddenly asked, "Where is Major Charles? I haven't seen him since morning."

"He and Lieutenant Nate evacuated first."

Lieutenant William said nonchalantly: "Don't ask too much about the matter, sir. Second Lieutenant, if you don't want to die here, just come with me."

All U.S. troops on Knighting Street were evacuated.

This street, which had been difficult to conquer for a long time, was finally recaptured by the Japanese!
