Cabanatua is only more than seventy miles from Manila.

The city was founded in 1901, and has direct rail and highway links to Manila.

However, under the continuous bombing by the U.S. Air Force, the road was riddled with holes.

It is extremely difficult for cars to drive here.

What a sin.

Now Meng Shaoyuan finally understands why the U.S. military has made such slow progress after landing on Luzon Island.

The determination of the US military commander to advance is one aspect.

On the other hand, it is the road that was blown up by themselves.

It's surprising that the mechanized US military can advance so fast on such a road.

"Drive slower, I'm going to fucking vomit." Meng Shaoyuan gasped.

Xie Changcheng, who was driving, also looked aggrieved: "Brother, I can drive on this road pretty well!"

"Damn it, those American veterans don't know anything about precision bombing." Meng Shaoyuan cursed.

"Brother, what is precision bombing?" Xie Changcheng asked curiously.

Meng Shaoyuan had nothing to do anyway, and chatting could alleviate the discomfort: "If you want to blow up wherever you want, just blow up that place, and there will be no damage at all around it."

"Brother, you are bragging." Xie Changcheng didn't believe it at all.

How could there be such a bombing?

Before Meng Shaoyuan had time to explain, suddenly, gunshots rang out.

"Gah"!

Xie Changcheng quickly stepped on the brakes, took out a piece of white cloth that he had prepared a long time ago, and kept waving it towards the outside, while he couldn't help but say:

"Brother, are we surrendering now? That would be such a shame!"

Master Meng was afraid that the bullet would accidentally hurt him, so he shrank in his seat: "I am ashamed, but you are not ashamed. If you go out and fight with them, I will consider you a martyr!"

A dozen guerrillas with guns appeared.

With the landing of the US military, these guerrillas became much bolder.

"My own people, my own people!"

Xie Changcheng, who spoke the local dialect very well, shouted loudly: "Don't shoot, don't shoot."

At the guerrilla's signal, the two people got out of the car.

Xie Changcheng said immediately: "From the U.S. Army Intelligence Department, we demand to see your commander immediately!"

…

"Captain Juan Pagata!" the guerrilla commander said calmly.

Is this Juan Pagata? The guy who will soon assist the US military in rescuing prisoners of war?

"Charles." Meng Shaoyuan also said: "The Allied Western Pacific Theater Intelligence Department is under the command of Peter Lin. The contact code is, 'There will be no storm tonight.'"

Juan Pagata nodded, and then asked his men to contact the US military through the radio to verify the identity of this person.

"Are you from Manila?"

"Yes, Manila." Meng Shaoyuan said, "We are ordered to leave the city."

“How are things in Manila?”

"It has turned into a war fortress. Iwabuchi was prepared three times and fought to the last soldier."

"That devil!" Juan said through gritted teeth, "He deserves to go to hell!"

"Yes, he deserves to go to hell!" Meng Shaoyuan's tone was also a little sad: "Just a few days ago, he massacred nearly a thousand children at St. Paul University!"

"What?"

This immediately shocked everyone, including Juan.

"The children are all dead." Meng Shaoyuan's voice was low: "Some were killed by bombs, and more were shot by machine guns. We could only take a few photos to record the three times Iwabuchi and those beasts

offense."

With that said, he took out an envelope and handed it to Juan.

Seeing Juan about to open the envelope, Meng Shaoyuan reminded him: "Captain, I don't recommend you read it."

But Juan still took the photo out of the envelope.

His hands were shaking, his face gradually distorted, and finally, he broke out into a hysterical roar:

"These beasts, they deserve to be cursed, and they will definitely get the punishment they deserve!"

"I'm sorry, but there is nothing we can do in the face of such a massacre." Meng Shaoyuan said in a low voice.

"No, no, you are all heroes." Juan tried his best to control his emotions: "You recorded everything. When you go to court in the future, these will be irrefutable evidence for the Japanese!"

He knew very well how difficult it was for these intelligence agents to take these photos.

"Immediately send someone to contact the US military, hand them these photos, and ask them to speed up their march and rescue our compatriots in Manila!"

Juan handed the photo to his men: "Mr. Charles, tell me, what's the mission?"

"Cabanatu." Meng Shaoyuan did not hide it: "There are a large number of American prisoners of war detained there. My current identity is the Japanese intelligence officer in Manila. I need to enter Cabanatua and find out all the intelligence there.

Captain, I'm not familiar with the way there, and I hope you can send someone to escort me there."

Unexpectedly, such a simple request made Juan frown.

This expression did not escape Meng Shaoyuan: "Captain, are you having any difficulties?"

"Yes, Charles." Juan smiled bitterly: "When you go to Cabanatuan, you have to pass through the area of ​​the Philippine People's Anti-Japanese Army. They won't give me any face."

Philippine People's Anti-Japanese Army?

These guys neither buy into the Japanese, nor do they give any face to the Americans. They are also the bitter enemies of the pro-American Juan.

After the U.S. military almost completely integrated the Philippine guerrillas, only the People's Anti-Japanese Army remained outside the control of the Americans.

Moreover, they were extremely angry about the killing of the leaders of the Philippine resistance movement by the Americans, and believed that the brutality of the Americans was no less brutal than that of the Japanese!

By the way, Meng Shaoyuan still remembered it.

During the rescue and retreat in Cabanatuan, the People's Anti-Japanese Army held the only road and refused to let the Americans pass, and an armed conflict almost broke out!

Why is it that the retreat road is the territory of the People's Anti-Japanese Army? Is there also their territory on the way to Cabanatua?

Meng Shaoyuan asked.

Juan then explained: “The territory of the People’s Anti-Japanese Army is very complex, and among them, they guard two roads leading to Cabanatuan.

Before you came, I had received an order from the US military asking me to prepare to meet the commandos, and I had to take my people to leave early because I had to take a long detour to avoid the People's Anti-Japanese Army.

Charles, I can only send someone to escort you for a short distance. I don’t want my people to fall into the hands of the anti-Japanese troops. Also, I have to remind you that you cannot say that you are a US military intelligence agent in front of them.

identity. This will cause serious resentment to them."

"Who is their commander?"

"Balk Joyce, a stubborn fellow!"

Well, there is such a thing?
