"Damn, everyone in the Ministry of Intelligence is to blame for this!" In the office of the Pacific Theater Command, there was a roar and the sound of slapping the table, General MacArthur couldn't help the anger in his heart, and loudly vented his dissatisfaction to the generals and staff officers in the headquarters, things did not go in the direction he expected at all, and the mistake of the Ministry of Intelligence Mén made him parachute into another prisoner of war camp, and there were more than 1,500 Allied soldiers in the rescued prisoner of war camp, not more than 50 generals including General Wainwright, as Mén said by the Ministry of Intelligence. [No pop-up novel network] small ^ said ^ no ads ~~ net én things are all in my responsibility. I will be in contact with the Chinese side again, and I will definitely contact the unit that has escaped, and if possible, rescue the generals of the prisoner of war camp! "This is General MacArthur's intelligence chief, Charles? Brigadier General Willoughby, it is clear that this intelligence mistake has pushed him to an embarrassing point.

MacArthur let out his anger at this time, but calmed down, he was used to holding the yù rice core pipe in his mouth, then leaning back in the chair, resting his head on the back of the chair, and sighed: "What else can we do now?" At such a big cost. More than 1,500 prisoners of war, it is better not to fall into the hands of the Japanese again, you and the Chinese government will contact again, we need their assistance to this team, and we will find all possible ways to get them out. As for General Wainwright, they - may God bless them! When MacArthur said this, he was clearly regretful. In his opinion, the rescue operation lies in the sudden xìng, and now that this possibility has been lost, this task is no longer feasible to complete, and it must be abandoned, otherwise it may lead to a strong backlash from the Japanese army, and maybe all the prisoners of war will be shot!

"Yes, General, I see!" Brigadier General Willoughby nodded at MacArthur, and walked out of the headquarters quickly, he wanted to immediately gather his strong generals to go to China, he wanted to know completely what direction the matter was going in China, and whether it was possible to save the fate of the more than 1,500 prisoners of war.

At 9 a.m. on July 28, 1945, at the Provisional Presidential Mansion in Chongqing, a car with a license plate from the U.S. Department of Foreign Affairs drove in, and then two U.S. military officers, one of whom was a U.S. Army colonel, walked out of it. He is the new military attache in China, David? Colonel Barred. Under the guidance of the shì guard officer of Chiang Kai-shek's mansion, he drove straight into the Grand Mén.

"It's very difficult to say!" In the conference room of the mansion, Chiang Kai-shek sighed and shook his head at Colonel Bao Ruide, who was sitting opposite, "You don't know that our forces in the northeast are still very weak, and if we forcibly march there, we will encounter many difficulties. Moreover, our equipment and training of soldiers are seriously insufficient, and for the time being we do not have the ability to start a large-scale war with the Japanese. In the Battle of Xiangxi in April, in order to defend the airfields of China, the United States and Britain, our troops suffered heavy losses. ”

When the accompanying interpreter told Colonel Barred these words, his heart was filled with helplessness. He knew that although Chiang Kai-shek was exaggerating, he still knew that most of it was true. This time, there was almost no result, and Chiang Kai-shek's lion opened his mouth to ask for a price, so that Bao Ruide had almost no interest in continuing to talk. On the contrary, he worked in Yan'an until May 1945, when he was transferred to Chongqing as a military attaché at the embassy. He has a very positive assessment of the ** regime in Yan'an. So he decided to try it again at the China office in Chongqing.

It can be said that Americans in China are politically naïve. The director of the Chongqing office is still Mr. Zhou Enlai. But after listening to Barryde's request, he did not give a positive answer for a long time. And what he has been talking about is how the US military should provide assistance and how it should play a role in the KMT and the CCP. He also pointed out that in the battle to recover Yantai, the Eighth Route Army suffered huge casualties.

"I know that it is very unrealistic to ask your army to directly attack Shenyang, but I just want to ask the anti-Japanese coalition led by your party in the northeast to participate in it and play a role in containing the Japanese army!" Bao Ruide still had a glimmer of hope and said very earnestly.

"Even if it is the anti-Japanese coalition army in the northeast, it is beyond the reach of Shenyang, even if it is to attack and contain the Japanese army, you have to consider the huge price of a comeback." Mr. Zhou Elai talked eloquently, but he made Bao Ruide unable to speak. Obviously, no matter how good the impression of both sides is, once specific interests are involved, neither will easily let go. Although the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army has secretly returned from the Soviet Union and organized some armed forces, it is still relatively weak in the final analysis. They were only engaged in guerrilla warfare and reconnoitred some important military installations and firing points of the Japanese army, so that the Japanese troops in the northeast could be reconnoitred and prepared for the Soviet attack in the northeast soon after.

It was obvious that he could not convince Mr. Zhou, and he left gloomily. This situation was undoubtedly not good news for the Allied soldiers who had penetrated deep into the interior of the Japanese army.

After a day, they finally waited for Mr. Zhou's verbal promise to contain a part of the Japanese army through intelligence and guerrilla warfare near Shenyang, on the condition that the US military continued to provide material and political support to the armed forces of **. Obviously, this time is just a change of interests. But something has changed.

When the political change in Chongqing was going on, the Allied troops led by Parks had been resting in the mountains for a whole day, and with this whole day, the prisoners of war replenished food and recovered their strength, and Parks was not idle, he established a temporary regimental headquarters in the team composed of prisoners of war, and divided into three battalions and nine companies according to the three-three system, and all the soldiers were mixed into the company regardless of nationality. Then the regiment was temporarily commanded by Parkes, and Colonel Langer served as the deputy commander, who was actually in charge of the command of the entire regiment, which was in fact the work of the regimental commander; And Captain Gagliano assisted Colonel Lange, and his actual duty was the work of the deputy commander. Major Parks remained in command of the assault company. This can be regarded as a simple reorganization, but through reorganization, the combat ability of these soldiers can be improved in a short time. Because there are experienced officers and non-commissioned officers here, these prisoners of war are experienced soldiers before they are captured, although they are a little rusty, but they are also well-trained, whether it is the use of weapons, tactical movements and obedience to orders, they are very quick to learn.

The rations brought from the Japanese army could last five or six days. ####而在这几天之内, Parks thinks about how to successfully capture the prisoner of war camp and free the captured generals inside. In his opinion, if General Wainwright was not rescued, then his task was not completed. It was the commando's first mission, and he didn't want to mess it up.

After a day's rest, the team continued the next day, and after a day's journey, they reached the mountainous area on the outskirts of Liaoyuan, and according to Matsuda Daisa's instructions, the distance from the mountainous area to the prisoner of war camp was about ten kilometers, of which four kilometers would be mountain roads, and about six kilometers would be Ping, which was the farmers' vegetable field. There is very little cover to be utilized.

"If you want to raid, I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed!" Although Matsuda Dazuo was very cooperative with Jiao to stay at the location of the Liaoyuan prisoner of war camp, he didn't look down on this team very much, although the assault team gave him a shock, but those regiments organized by prisoners of war were not strong in combat effectiveness, and their weapons were only Japanese-made weapons, and they were not superior, "Now the entire Liaoyuan area is on guard, and around the prisoner of war camp if my guess is correct, at least one wing of people is guarding the perimeter." Your chances should be slim or none! ”

The Welsh captain looked at Matsuda Daisa's somewhat arrogant gaze, and couldn't help frowning, if it was a wing of Japanese troops stationed, then it would be almost twice as many as the current team. He couldn't help but look at Major Parks.

Parks nodded at Matsuda and said, "If your estimate is good, we don't have a chance." It's man-made, and a wing of Japanese soldiers won't be a big problem. You'll know how we rescued the prisoners of war. Major Parks said, then turned around and left without looking at Matsuda.

"Shut up, damn Japanese! We'll have a way! One of the soldiers who was guarding Matsuda couldn't help but spit on the ground and said fiercely to Matsuda.

Matsuda looked at the soldier, closed his eyes slightly, and stopped talking. He couldn't care about anything now, he was captured by these people, and this result was unavoidable, and he had time to cut himself off and apologize, but he didn't do that, because he wanted to return to Japan alive. But if this group of people fails, but they really can't return to the Japanese army alive, it will be considered a shame, even if they don't kill themselves, but the future will definitely not be easy. He told the American major all that he knew about the truth and his usual approach to the prisoner of war camps, and said in his heart that he hoped that the group would succeed and get out of the northeast.

Parks knew Matsuda was telling the truth, but he didn't hold back in the slightest. Commandos are special people who go out to complete seemingly impossible tasks.

With the first atomic bomb in August, on August 8, the Soviet Red Army will declare war on Japan, thus dealing a fatal blow to the Japanese Kwantung Army entrenched in the northeast. It's all in Parks' calculations.

"What do we do now?" Captain Wales followed Parks up to a relatively high observation point on the mountain, and the two looked into the distance with their binoculars. There was a courtyard house, on a high slope, surrounded by high walls, and through the glasses, it was the prisoner of war camp that Matsuda described, a prisoner of war camp for high-ranking generals.

"The prisoner of war camp was surrounded by Japanese soldiers. It is estimated that there are more than two hundred people. But about a kilometer from them, there was a huge barracks, which was made of makeshift xìng, set up in military tents, and it is estimated that Matsuda did not lie, and there was indeed a wing of Japanese stationed there, and the number was about 3ooo or so. Parks held up the binoculars and whispered an estimate.

The Welsh captain put down his binoculars, nodded, and said, "That's right, Lacey, what is your decision?" ”

"We have no choice, Harry." Parks looked at it for a moment, then lowered the binoculars, "This is our mission. Giving up halfway is not an option for our commandos. ”

"I know, I mean, how are we going to get that group of people out." Captain Wales nodded, "Including General Wainwright, of course!" ”

"Wait, when the time comes, what prisoners of war do we need to regain their combat effectiveness, no matter how many, I need them to be able to contain the Japanese, even for a few hours." Parks put the binoculars in his backpack, "And then we'll lead the assault team inside!" The Japanese, in the midst of an extremely tight staff, also sent a wing of soldiers, and it seemed that they wanted to learn a lesson. ”

"yes, I think so!"

"But Harry, trust me, I'll teach them another lesson." Parks grinned, then beckoned to Wales and began to walk down the hill.

"I hope so!" The Welsh Captain, though not convinced, shrugged his shoulders and expressed his approval of Parks' words, "It would be a nightmare for the Japanese, just as you taught the Germans in Europe!" ”

The officer in charge of the POW camp was Lieutenant Harai, who seemed a little uneasy these days, and he had asked for reinforcements since the news came from Shenyang that the POW camp had been attacked and burned. And the Japanese did send a wing of soldiers to assist him, but even so, he still seemed a little bored. This has to do with the news received from the outside world these days. Everything indicates that the Japanese army is losing the war, and that the Soviet troops in the Sino-Soviet border area are also moving frequently, and they are putting on a powerful offensive that may advance from the northeastern border at any time. Most of the troops here have been transferred out. This wing is the last powerful armed force in Liaoyuan City, and even in the city, there is only a brigade stationed there.

"Go and call Inoue Caochang to come over!" Lieutenant Harai finally couldn't help it, and he shouted at the guards outside, "Immediately, immediately!" ”

"Hello!" A Japanese soldier ran out as fast as he could. In the past few days, these guards have also been a little tired from Lieutenant Harai's nervous temper, but despite this, they still dare not slack off, but will review what they have not done enough.

A burly Cao Chang walked in, and then bowed to Lieutenant Harai. Lieutenant Harai nodded and said, "From today onwards, our alert range will be doubled, from three kilometers to six kilometers. If you go and report this matter to Tanaka Nakasa, you will say that it is for the safety of the prisoner of war camp! ”

"Yes, sir!" Inoue didn't have any opinions, he just carried out his task faithfully. He also knew about the sneak attack on the Shenyang prisoner of war camp. He had always demanded tough measures against the prisoners of war, even if they tortured a few to death. But he also knew that Tanaka Nakasa's temper was not very good, and he and Lieutenant Harai did not deal with each other. Lieutenant Harai's performance towards the prisoners of war was still weak in his opinion. But he could not dictate to Harai, because he only had the order to defend the POW camp and did not have the right to interfere with the POW camp. And he also knew that these prisoners of war were bargaining chips in negotiations with the Allies after the war.

Expanding the scope of the search, Tanaka Nakasa agrees. This is a measure to ensure the security of the prisoner of war camp. At the same time, he asked Inoue to convey his suggestion that if there was any change, all the prisoners of war could be killed immediately. Obviously, this article is a bit shocking, and even the Kwantung Army command does not dare to make such a decision. But in Tanaka's view, this is just a Xiao thing.

"What does Tanaka want to do? Does he want to push us all into a situation from which we will never recover? When Lieutenant Harai got this advice from Inoue Caochang, he couldn't help but scold, "Hún egg! He's a reckless martial artist, I really don't know how he became the position of Nakasa! Lieutenant Harai leaned back in his seat and began to worry faintly. Since Tanaka Nakasa has this suggestion, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not forcibly implement this suggestion at a critical time. And the garrison of the prisoner of war camp, which only has more than 2oo people, is simply unable to stop Tanaka's crazy behavior. And he also knew that as soon as Tanaka Nakasa carried out this order, then he would have to tie himself up with him, and then sink with all the war maniacs. He couldn't help but feel a wave of sorrow in his heart.

On the third day, the Japanese searched for more space, and Major Parks could even see through his glasses the insignia on the steel helmets of the Japanese soldiers, who were very close to where he was hiding. During the day, the range of activities was expanded to six kilometers, but the Japanese troops in these six kilometers were relatively scattered, after all, they were not manpowered, and the range was wide. The patrol range at night is only two kilometers.

At the end of the third day, the sky gradually darkened, and Colonel Lange finally got a little impatient, and he went to Major Parks and said, "Major Parks, I would like to know when we can start. We can't stay in such a place all the time, and the rations we carry are insufficient. ”

Major Parks looked at him and smiled slightly, "Yes, Mr. Colonel, I think we'll start soon." How prepared are your people? I mean, how are they fighting? If you compare it to ordinary soldiers! ”

Major Lange shrugged his shoulders and said, "After two days of rest, they were finally able to recover their breath, but their physique has been destroyed, and they can't fully recover in the past few days." If I were to estimate, we now have at least sixty percent more combat effectiveness! ”

Major Parks nodded and said, "Very good, if so, let them be ready, just tonight, we will tell the Japanese that there is nothing we can't do!" ”
