Chapter 274: Rescuing Allied Prisoners of War (Finale)
The Allied prisoners of war who were woken up and assembled in the playground of the work shed began to report their names and military ranks before they were captured under the organization of the Wolf Warriors. For the officers, Li Hao deliberately explained that they should be gathered separately.
Secondly, many Japanese soldiers who were captured by the wolf warrior began to move large bags of flour out to make steamed buns under the supervision of the wolf warrior. The meat picks, which they are usually reluctant to eat, are also taken out and poured into the pot to make soup.
Compared to these Japanese troops stationed there, most of them were in good health, and many Allied prisoners of war had become exhausted from long hours of hunger and labor. The next step is to move them to safety, which naturally requires a long trek through the jungle.
If he didn't prepare more food, Li Hao was also worried about whether these Allied prisoners of war would be able to hold on to their destination during the transfer and resettlement. If you really die halfway, there is undoubtedly a loss of income for the wolf!
The miners in the mine were also rescued one after another, and many Allied prisoners of war looked incredulous looking at these strange armed personnel who had taken control of the entire situation in the mine. But they all know that they have finally waited for the day when they leave alive.
In the process of registering Allied prisoners of war, Li Hao looked at several Allied officers who had registered in advance, and said very directly: "I am the commander of the mercenary group responsible for rescuing you this time, you can call me Mr. Wolf!" ”
"Mercenary regiments? What kind of army is this? Aren't you Chinese troops? ”
"We are Chinese, but we are also mercenaries. In our corps, in addition to the whites, there were some Japanese bowlers. In short, you can think of us as the Foreign Legion, a bunch of warmongers who only fight for money.
This time, we have also been hired by the Allied generals, to be precise, General MacArthur, the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in the Pacific Theater, to come to your rescue. Next, there are a few things that need to be conveyed by you! ”
"General Mack? Is he now the Supreme Commander of the Pacific Theater of Operations? ”
"Yes! Gentlemen, the Allies are currently launching a counteroffensive, although they are not yet able to regain the lost territory in the South Seas. But you, all governments, have to find a way to rescue you. Compared to the other captured Allied prisoners of war, you are relatively lucky.
The reason is that you are the first prisoners of war we rescued, and the place where you are being held is in Nanyang. Compared to the Allied prisoners of war who were taken to the mines of the Japanese colonies overseas, you should be able to imagine their situation! ”
"Oh God! These damn Sunbowl people should send them all to hell! ”
"Not bad! But then, I want you to understand that we were only hired to rescue you. And here, it is still the area controlled by the Japanese army. Therefore, you must cooperate with our actions.
Your commander has made contact with General Chen, the commander of the local Xinghua Army in Nanyang, and his Xinghua Army will provide you with protection. In fact, when the Japanese army invaded Nanyang earlier, the Xinghua Army had already saved many of you.
Next, you can go to the resettlement camp of the Xinghua Army to rest and recover first. If the Xinghua Army needs you to fight the Japanese army, I hope you can also take up arms and continue to fight the Japanese army.
As for sending you back to the Allies, I'm afraid we won't be able to do it for the time being. After all, the Japanese army's naval and air superiority is still very large, and most of the areas that the Xinghua Army can control at present are mountainous areas.
And once the news of your liberation leaks out, you should be able to imagine what the Japanese will do. So, for a long time to come, you have to make sure that your whereabouts are not known to the Japanese.
If you fall into the hands of the Sunbowl people again, then all I can say is that you are really unlucky. It is even quite possible that we will not be able to wait for our second deliverance. I would like you to convey this to your subordinates. ”
The mercenaries are responsible for the rescue, and the Xinghua Army is responsible for the placement. The two sides worked together to organize the rescue, and for the Allied prisoners of war, they felt that as long as they could get out of here, it was better than anything else.
After receiving the assurances of these officers, Li Hao said in a timely manner: "Before that, I need you to register another information, which is the information of the Allied prisoners of war who have died in this mine that you know.
According to what I have received earlier, the soldiers of your countries have had private friction and hatred during their detention in this mine. But I hope that you will not bring hatred to the path where I will take you away.
If anyone dares to stall, then I will unceremoniously suppress or expel you. At least I believe that you will not be able to survive in this jungle without the leadership of my men, and I want you to keep that in mind.
And then there are all the Allied soldiers who died, and I hope you will ask as much as you can. Even if they are dead, at least they need to give an account to their families back home and know where they died.
Perhaps when the battlefield is over and peace comes to the country again, their families can also come here to worship them. As an officer, I want you to take on this responsibility and help us do something, okay? ”
"Our pleasure! Please rest assured, Mr. Wolf, we will cooperate with your actions! ”
"Good! To thank you for your cooperation and to highlight your importance as officers. Next, I will ask my subordinates to equip each of you with a weapon. You should all use the rifles of the Japanese army, right? ”
"Of course! We were also soldiers in the past, and we also know about the weapons of the Japanese army! ”
Knowing that Li Hao had equipped them with weapons, these officers were naturally happy. After all, with guns, they have more say in the POWs. According to the rank, Li Hao quickly divided the prisoners of war into four formations.
In addition to Britain, the United States and the Netherlands, there is also a Chinese formation, and as for the Japanese prisoner of war formation, they will leave ahead of schedule. If, during the march, these Japanese soldiers still want to make some small moves, the wolf warriors will unceremoniously abandon them in the jungle.
Without supplies, weapons, or even clean water, it is almost impossible for them to leave this vast jungle alive. And escorting the little devils away in advance was also to ensure the safety of these Japanese prisoners of war.
Once these Allied POWs see that they are still alive, I am afraid that these Allied POWs will tear them apart alive. Therefore, when collecting Allied prisoners of war, Li Hao also made two preparations and took people out of the mine in two batches.
In this case, even if the Japanese army downstream intends to look for it, I am afraid that it is very likely to find a wrong position. The most important thing is that the assessment team participating in the operation will also hunt and evaluate the actual combat in this jungle and near the mine for a period of time.
Along with these officers to change into clean clothes, and even eat some drinking water and dry food provided by the wolf in advance, the officers who received a Japanese rifle finally regained a little dignity and face belonging to the officers.
When cooperating with Wolf Warrior to manage the prisoner of war team under his command, these officers also asked the soldiers about the soldiers who had died. At the mention of these fallen soldiers, many Allied prisoners of war felt full of sorrow and pity.
After all, compared to these already dead prisoners of war, they could not wait for the day they were rescued. On the other hand, those who survived finally had the opportunity to leave this nightmare place that they will never forget.
It took two or three hours for the Allied soldiers, who had finally completed the registration, to see these disheveled prisoners of war and open the Japanese supply warehouse that had been captured earlier. Let these officers organize a group of soldiers to get their clothes.
Of course, this batch of clothes is some miner's fee, or even just some cloth. But these Allied prisoners of war didn't mind at all, and some even wore military uniforms that were taken off the corpses of the little devils, just to change the clothes on their bodies.
After everything was prepared, Li Hao stood in front of the nearly 3,000 Allied prisoners of war, and said loudly: "Here I congratulate you in advance, you finally have the opportunity to leave this damn place, and even have the opportunity to return to your country in the future."
It's just that the way you are now, I'm afraid that many of you may not be able to withstand the next jungle march. So, I've had a batch of steamed buns made from flour and a sufficient amount of broth.
Wait a minute, you first line up to eat steamed buns and drink soup to replenish your strength. But there's one thing I want you all to listen to, and that's not to take it personally. Otherwise, you won't be able to keep up with the retreating team, and we won't be able to wait for you.
After all, it's not much time left until dawn, and we have to hurry up and get out of this damn place. Once the Japanese fighters and even the search force arrive, they will most likely catch up with us, and you will be even more dangerous.
Eat half full first, and then I will have someone distribute three steamed buns to you on the way to satisfy your hunger. As soon as you reach the next pick-up point, there will be food and drink waiting for you until you are safely taken to the resettlement site. ”
"Thank God! Finally able to keep us full! ”
When the distribution of steamed buns and broth began, the Xinghua Army distributed two large steamed buns and a bowl of hot soup with meat to each prisoner of war in advance. Even if someone wants to ask for more steamed buns, they will be rejected.
The special combat team member who is in charge of cooking will also say very directly: "Sir, please finish eating these two steamed buns first, and then if it is not enough, you can still come and get it." Rest assured, we have plenty of steamed buns! Next! ”
In the face of the direct refusal of the special combat personnel, these hungry prisoners of war could only quickly eliminate the two steamed buns that were distributed. Served with a very simple meat soup, every Allied prisoner of war wanted to shed tears when they ate it.
After all, they have not tasted meat since they were captured. But now, at last, they have the opportunity to drink a bowl of broth, and suddenly they feel that these mercenaries who rescued them are really as merciful as angels!
When the first round of distribution was completed, some soldiers who really had not eaten enough went to get steamed buns for soup again, and the special combat team members did not refuse. I gave them a little more soup and an extra steamed bun.
As for the three steamed buns, it is not enough, so on the way to the army, they can only eat the three steamed buns issued to them. It's just two huge steamed buns, for many Allied prisoners of war, a bowl of inner broth is enough for them to eat on the road!
