The entire Manila has been built into a giant fortress!

Landmines, barbed wire fences, ravines and trenches are scattered all over the city.

The Japanese army even frantically took the citizens of the city as hostages to resist the US military offensive.

Tian Qi sent this information out in time.

However, the US military did not pay enough attention to this intelligence.

Yes, MacArthur personally passed the information to General Kruger.

And he also specifically reminded the general that it was just the information sent by Peter Lin.

The meaning is too obvious.

That legendary spy Peter Lin, the information he sent must be taken seriously.

However, General Kruger, who had been having smooth sailing since landing on Luzon Island, didn't pay much attention.

Especially when he saw that there were only 17,000 Marines in Manila, he sneered.

How can a force of 17,000 men resist the arrogant U.S. military?

As for the four thousand security forces?

General Kruger did not count them among the defensive forces at all.

These miscellaneous troops will turn into powder with a wave of your hand!

…

But at this time in Manila, Iwabuchi looked extremely excited.

A smile he hadn't seen for a long time appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He even ordered his subordinates to prepare several delicious dishes and two bottles of wine.

In the backyard of the headquarters, two Japanese soldiers were helping a man take a bath.

The conditions here are very poor.

For now, bathing is almost a luxury.

One of the two Japanese soldiers was holding a wooden bucket filled with hot water, and the other was holding a bath towel.

The man finally finished washing.

After how many days, I was finally able to take a bath.

He has been a clean person since he was a child, but how many days has it been since he took a shower?

When he finally arrived in Manila, the first request he made was to take a shower immediately.

He wiped himself clean, and then two Japanese soldiers brought him a center-left military uniform.

…

The wine has been poured.

Iwabuchi waited a little anxiously for the third time.

"Jumonro!"

When that voice came, Iwabuchi stood up with "ooh" three times.

Chrysanthemum man!

That's his nickname.

How many years has it been since anyone called me that?

"Seijiro!"

Iwabuchi greeted him with a smile three times, and then hugged Zhongzuo vigorously.

This is a good friend who grew up with him:

Fujikura Seijiro!

Iwabuchi was very thin when he was a child three times and was always bullied, but every time it was Seijiro who stood up.

In order to protect Iwabuchi three times, Seijiro was beaten to death many times.

Iwabuchi always cried when he helped him clean his wounds three times.

But Seijiro didn't allow him to cry and wanted him to be a strong man.

Even their parents saw all this.

Iwabuchi Miji's parents told their son:

"Kikumonro, you and Seijiro will be friends for life!"

Later, they all joined the navy.

After the war broke out, they went to their respective battlefields and had not seen each other for many years.

But this time, Seijiro suddenly appeared in Manila. How could Iwabuchi not be overjoyed three times?

The two finally separated.

"Seijiro, drink." Iwabuchi said enthusiastically three times: "Today, we must get drunk before resting."

Fujikura Seijiro said with a bitter face: "At least, let me fill my stomach first. I have been hungry for many days."

Iwabuchi laughed "haha" three times.

In front of Kikumonro, Fujikura Seijiro doesn't need to be polite.

He devoured the food like a wolf.

After swallowing the last mouthful, he patted his belly with satisfaction:

"Belly-kun, Belly-kun, you don't have to complain about me anymore, right?"

Iwabuchi laughed three times again: "Seijiro, you are still so humorous."

"drink wine."

Seijiro raised his glass: "Cheers!"

"cheers!"

Iwabuchi drank three times, put down his glass and asked, "Seijiro, how could this happen?"

Seijiro smiled bitterly: "The American navy is too powerful. After we were defeated at sea, many navies were forced to move to land operations, and I was one of them.

I command my troops and station them at Lingayin Bay, which is where the Americans chose as their landing point. We are ready to fight to the death with the US military!

However, that bastard Yamashita Tobumi was not prepared for anti-landing operations at all. The armies on both wings of ours withdrew the day before the Americans landed, without notifying us!

We were outnumbered and quickly routed, and during the retreat I became separated from my troops. Unable to contact the other troops, I had to make my way toward Manila."

"Those bastards from the Army!" This is equivalent to saying something that made Iwabuchi angry three times: "Manila was also abandoned by this bastard Yamashita!"

"I know, I know." Seijiro sighed: "That's why I decided to come here because I know you are in Manila. I think that as long as I can get here alive, we can finally fight side by side.

I was quite lucky. I saw an abandoned car on the road. I tried to start it and it actually started. Ha, if it weren't for this car, maybe I would still be trudging on the road now."

"Everything is over, Seijiro!" Thinking of the hardships on Seijiro's journey, Iwabuchi felt sad for the third time: "It's okay now, we are together, no matter how many Americans come, we can repel them.

"

"Is it just like when we were children?" Seijiro said with a smile: "But, as promised, we are not allowed to cry anymore."

When Iwabuchi was a child, he would cry every time he lost a fight.

Seijiro said this without hesitation, which made Iwabuchi a little embarrassed even three times.

But Seijiro didn't care: "Kikumonro, you don't know how powerful the Americans are. Their artillery shells can't be used up at all.

Every time before the war started, there were indiscriminate bombings from the sky and the sea, and tons of artillery shells roared in. Before the war officially started, we already suffered heavy casualties.

This is not only a physical blow to us, but also a mental torture, which also makes people feel desperate!”

Iwabuchi never thought he would say such a thing three times.

In his understanding, Seijiro is a brave and strategic guy.

But now, why do you seem so afraid of Americans?

"Seijiro, are you scared?"

"No, I'm not afraid." Seijiro took a sip of wine: "When the Americans show up in Manila, I will continue to fight with them. However, I must tell you all the disadvantages.

Jumenlang, you are responsible for defending Manila, I hope you are fully mentally prepared!"
