Chapter 342: Waiting

The night gradually tore off the black coat by the dawn. 【】w book friend whole ~ Li Ti ~ for the foggy sky gradually you can see the faces of some shaking figures, there is still an unextinguished fire burning on the ground, wisps of smoke floating in the air, the corpses of the Japanese soldiers are lying on the ground, mutilated or unrecognizable. The jīlie of this battle can be seen.

Sergeant Goneri was cleaning up the battlefield, he lifted the collar of a dead Japanese corpse, and then looked at it and couldn't help but exclaim, "God, is this the commander of the Japanese army?" ”

Parks heard Goneri's voice and walked over to him. Goneri was unstabbing the corpse from his saber, then took the blade out of his hand, looked at the light, and then turned to Malaqi, who was also cleaning the battlefield beside him, and shouted, "Hey, Malachi, this is the best trophy." Isn't it? As he spoke, he slashed the command knife up and down a few times.

"Yes, Goneri, this is a lieutenant of the Japanese army, well, that's what the lieutenant colonel means, maybe a wing commander." Parks looked at the lifeless face, the look on which it still retained the hideousness and despair of death. The head was hit, a big dong was pierced, the blood of the black sè dried up on the side of the wound, and a fly flew up from the blood of the black sè with a "buzz", Parks chased it with his hand, and then looked up at the entire battlefield, where the Captain of Wales was walking towards him.

"They're packing up the dead and preparing to bury them in the nearest place" Captain Wales walked over to Parkes' side, moaned out a Xiao wine bottle, and then took a sip of it, "I'm still not used to drinking here, but there is no way, I have to settle a little, it's better than nothing"

"You're not smart enough, Harry," Parks smiled slightly, then looked at what Colonel Lange was saying to a group of soldiers in the distance, and nodded involuntarily, "What about the casualties?" ”

"Twenty-one people died, and more than one hundred and fifty were injured." Captain Wales smiled slightly, "This result is not bad, now the statistics are basically out, we faced more than 3,000 Japanese last night, this number surprised me a little"

Parks nodded: "yes, it's not bad" The Japanese were buried here with a wing, simply because they despised the opponent's results, and their rout was predictable in the face of a two-sided attack. Of the more than 3,000 Japanese troops, only a dozen escaped, and Tanaka Nakasa was killed in battle. He was hit in the head by a bullet from a commando's PV45 automatic rifle.

At this time, another group of people appeared on the slope, they looked ragged, but they still showed that they were different. General Wainwright stood at the front, and he slowly watched all the way towards Parks.

"Well done, Major" General Wainwright walked over, held out his hand and shook Parks, then leaned his head and shoulders over and gave Parks a gentle hug, "I am amazed by your commanding artistry, and I think you are here for the right time." You saved me, and the rest of us," he said, turning and gesturing to the generals and governors behind him who were watching the battlefield in amazement.

"I'll do what I'm told, General," Parks smiled, "My company's job is to rescue you, and we won't go back until we get the job done." ”

"So what are you going to do in the future?" General Wainwright looked at Major Parks, "The Japanese will definitely not rest on their laurels, they will look for us everywhere, do you have any plans?" ”

Parks smiled slightly, then looked at General Wainwright and said, "Without a general, my plan is to wait." We will go into the mountains again and then deal with the Japanese. Waiting for the day when we will be victorious -- I mean the day when we will defeat the Japanese once and for all."

"How long was that?" General Wainwright was unaware of the outside world, and he couldn't help frowning, apparently he had also considered the question of what to do with Parks after killing the Japanese wing. It was clear that Parks' answer had made him suspicious. Despite this, he did not interfere with Parks' command, and decided not to let those behind him, who appeared to be generals and governors, interfere with Parks' command. It is impossible for a major with such command skills to make any rash or extremely wrong decisions, which is also his trust in Parks.

At this time, the generals and the Governor also came over, and General Parker shook hands with Parkes and hugged him, his face full of smiles, and from his powerful hug, you could feel how moved and touched Parks.

"Thank you very much, Major." General Parker didn't say much, he just whispered in Parks' ear, "You're a very remarkable man. Thank you"

Major General King of the U.S. Army, Lieutenant General Percival and Lieutenant General Heath of the British Army, and Lieutenant General Bougton and Lieutenant General Barker of the Netherlands all came over and shook hands with Parks one by one, and returned the favor with smiles and sincere thanks. Parks could see their sincerity, and indeed in such a disadvantageous situation, they carried out such a perfect rescue mission, which had to make them feel jī, and there was admiration in their hearts. Several governors and officials also came over and wanted Parks to express their feelings.

"Thank you very much, Major" Governor of Hong Kong, Mark? Sir Yang also walked over, he wanted to have a hug with Parks, but Parks stretched out his hand, he reached out a little embarrassed and shook Parks' hand, "Major, I take back what I said earlier." I don't think the Japanese deserve to die, but we won the war, didn't we? ”

"Yes, Sir Young, we have won this battle, but it will take time to win this war." Parks looked at him with a cold face and said, "Okay, sir, we're going to get out of here now, and soon the Japanese will have a chance to fight back against us" He nodded at General Wainwright, and then said to Captain Wales, "Let everyone pack up and take away as many Japanese weapons and ammunition as possible, as well as all the things they can use and eat, we need these, the next days will be difficult." We've got to resist."

"Major, Mr. Major," Sir Young said to Parks suddenly, "you know, we just came out of the prisoner of war camp and didn't bring anything, I think if we go into the mountains and forests, we have to be prepared, don't we?" I'm in very poor health in the POW camp, and I need food to get through these days, and if I don't mind, can I no, nong something for us people. ”

Parks looked at him with a frown, then turned his head to the battlefield and said, "Sir Young, look at the soldiers, they are all looking for things on the Japanese, of course you don't care about money, but maybe if you're lucky, you can find a few rice balls." ”

"Oh God, on these corpses?" Sir Yang seemed to look at the group of people who were turning over the corpses of the Japanese soldiers with some disgust, and couldn't help frowning and said, "I think it's better to forget it, we can't be hungry" He walked aside a little sneeringly. In his opinion, turning over the corpse of a nong was definitely not something that a noble British knight should do. 、

"If you don't, you're either going to starve or you're going to have to eat wild vegetables," Parks shook his head at him, then stepped aside and decided not to pay attention to him.

General Wainwright obviously heard their conversation, and then he took the initiative to walk up to the corpse of a nearby Japanese soldier, and began to rummage through the corpse's pocket, and then he found three pieces of candy, and couldn't help but raise them and laughed: "Look, my luck seems to be good." Come here, gentlemen, and join us if you don't want to starve later," he said, walking over to another corpse.

General Parker smiled as well, and then joined General Wainwright. And the generals and governors who were still standing politely could no longer care about any reserve, and they all joined in, and searched very carefully for any corpses.

"It's all crazy" Sir Yang couldn't help muttering a sentence when he looked at General Wainwright's elated appearance, but he finally couldn't bear it anymore, and Xiao moved towards the corpse of a Japanese soldier with a heart.

"The assault company is ready, we are going out," shouted the Captain Wales, "Lip, inform Colonel Langer and lead the rest of the team out of the woods, and we will go back to the mountains and forests again." ”

For a time, all kinds of passwords were heard one after another, and the soldiers began to organize their bags, they searched every dead Japanese soldier, robbed them of all the bullets, valuables, and edible things on their bodies, and then began to assemble, and the assault company once again served as an outpost in front, while the rescued generals and governors followed closely behind the company, and behind them, there were more than a thousand multinational troops with Japanese weapons on their backs. After a bloody battle, they rediscovered the feeling of the soldiers.

"Let's go, Harry," Major Parks said to Wales as he looked at the vast battlefield around him, and walked forward.

"Sergeant No. 2 of the first platoon, take your brothers, and serve as an outpost," Captain Haliger's voice came from the woods ahead, and then Landauman shouted at his brothers who were still sitting on the ground with an automatic rifle, "We're out of the way, guys, welcome back to Bastogne." With that, he took the lead and walked forward.

"It's the Bastone Cow without snow," Lutz laughed behind him, and he walked forward with the radio on his back, although it seemed a little inconvenient, but his interest was high, "To be honest, I don't want this to be the second Bastone." ”

"You won't be disappointed, the bull is Baston, but where are we going to find the Germans with 88mm cannons?" Toy laughed loudly, "To be honest, I'm just starting to miss the comfortable days in Germany now." Any idea why I'm here? One of them I can tell you is that I love Mt. Fuji in Japan, and I hope to climb it one day."

"You're going to freeze into popsicles. Just like in Bastogne, frozen into a cold potato strip," Hefflang grinned, and then quickly followed the group with his gun in hand. Under their leadership, the group began to walk towards the mountain forest where they had come out first. No one knows what will happen next, but Parks firmly believes that if history has not changed, they will not stay here for a long time, and even if history changes, it is impossible for the Japanese to turn over, and surrender is a matter of time.

The Black Panthers have lost contact for several days. General MacArthur was already somewhat disappointed. It is clear that this operation can already be considered a failure. And the reason for all this is the mistake of their own intelligence. He felt guilty that he had not only failed to rescue General Wainwright, but had also lost a good company. MacArthur stood in front of the map in a daze, he looked at that point in Shenyang, China, a little distracted, and he even felt inexplicably angry at the perfunctory behavior of the Chinese government.

According to the report fed back by Colonel Bao Ruide, whether it is the Kuomintang government strongly supported by the United States or the gD government that has received tangible benefits from the US military, it has not ruled out any substantive actions, but the Chinese government has promised Bao Ruide that the anti-Japanese coalition forces will help, but now they can't help anything, because those anti-Japanese coalition forces themselves have to rely on the Soviet Union to survive, how can they do anything in the northeast?

"Damn, it's all a bunch of liars" MacArthur couldn't help but be angry, turned and walked to his desk, took out his pen and wanted to write something, but suddenly shook the pen hard and threw it out. His whole body was lying on the chair, and he looked very depressed.

"General" at this time a major walked in, he looked at the thrown pen with some suspicion, and then hesitated for a moment, "General, Brigadier General Willoughby wants to see you, he is waiting outside the mén"

"Didn't you say I didn't see anyone? If there's something you can call me," MacArthur said angrily to the major. To be honest, he was still dissatisfied with Brigadier General Willoughby, and it was precisely because of his intelligence mistakes that this result appeared.

"Okay, General, I'll just say to him, 'The Major went out for a while, and then came back and reported,' General Willoughby said, and he said that there was new news coming and it was good news, he said it was news about the commandos and General Wainwright."

MacArthur stood up suddenly, and he immediately said to the major: "Let him come in quickly" As he said he left his desk and walked towards the Mén entrance, he couldn't wait, if it was good news, then where would General Wainwright be now?

When Brigadier General Willoughby came in, he saw General MacArthur at the entrance of Mén, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and then he quickly understood, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice, this was good news, at least it could reassure him. But all thanks to the Major named Parkes, who was the right person to be asked for this mission.

"General Wainwright, how are they now?" MacArthur grabbed Brigadier General Willoughby's arm with one hand, then pulled him over to two side-by-side chairs and sat down, "I need news from him now." Is he alive? ”

"Yes, yes, General, he's still alive, that's our judgment," he said, taking a leather bag he was holding, and took out a stack of photos from it, "This is the picture taken by our Air Force reconnaissance plane." Ever since we became aware of the intelligence error, we have been sending reconnaissance planes to Shenyang and nearby areas every day to conduct reconnaissance activities. These are the pictures we took."

MacArthur suspiciously took the photograph and saw a ruined house, apparently burned by fire. And there are also photos of a place that looks like a battlefield, and you can see from the photos that in a place that looks like a high wall, there are corpses everywhere, and there are no living people around.

"This is a prisoner of war camp in Shenyang," Willoughby said, pointing to the ruins, "and it's already in ruins." Predictably, the company we sent attacked the camp, and judging by the photographs, they probably rescued the prisoners and then set them on fire as they left. As he spoke, he pointed to a few other photos and said, "This is more than two or three hundred kilometers away near Shenyang." Later, our intelligence officers finally determined that it had once been a prisoner of war camp for high-ranking Allied generals, and that General Wainwright was probably imprisoned there. Judging by the photos, this prisoner of war camp is already empty. There are corpses everywhere, and it is likely that they have been rescued"

MacArthur frowned, then stared at the photos tightly, then flipped through them one by one, and finally fixed his eyes on Brigadier General Willoughby's face: "Don't tell me the estimate, if a company goes deep into the Japanese-occupied area, will they go to rescue another prisoner of war camp two or three hundred kilometers away after a sneak attack on the Shenyang prisoner of war camp?" Damn, I want exact intelligence, not estimates, you know that's the most taboo word for intelligence officers. Accuracy is the guarantee of our victory"

"Yes, General" Brigadier General Willoughby did not expect this news to make MacArthur equally displeased, he stood up nervously and said to MacArthur, "General, if it is the Black Panther Commandos, I think General Wainwright and they are already out of danger." I will contact the Chinese intelligence personnel and gather first-hand information. With that, he saluted, shook MacArthur's hand helplessly, and left

"It seems that what he said still has a point, I really hope that there will be accurate information and then I will let it go" MacArthur walked to the map again, looking at the place in Shenyang, China, and then at the islands in the Japanese mainland, and there was a jīng light in his eyes, yes, he needed to give the Japanese army the final blow and completely crush the Japanese army. And General Wainwright's final escape will remove his last concerns.

"Lacey? Parks: "MacArthur couldn't help but smile at the corners of his mouth. If this man only impressed him, then he had definitely impressed himself by now.

Brigadier Willoughby's news came quickly, and on the third day, he already knew what was going on, although it took a lot of effort to make it clear to him. This includes intelligence organizations that use China's two forces, as well as its own U.S. military intelligence agencies in Asia.

"It's a miracle," he said, and then solemnly gave General MacArthur a smile on his lips
