Of course, Qin Wei could not give up rescuing MacArthur, and even if he had such a mind, the people from the National Government would not agree. Everyone was counting on the US dollar to live. At this time, they offended the Americans. How would they live in the future? Although the Chinese army still has a certain advantageous position when facing the Japanese, anyone with a little vision can see that this is only temporary. Compared with Japan, China's foundation is still too weak, especially the ability to continue high-intensity combat. Because China has almost no decent military industry to provide logistics support. A battle like Shanxi is no longer possible, because as long as one or two such battles come, China will bottom out in terms of finance and ammunition reserves. At that time, various troops will be very likely to "fall" again to the point where they are about to collapse when they fight with the Japanese. Therefore, it is necessary to rescue the Americans and please the world's largest rich man.

The US government can actually think of this. They warned MacArthur in advance, but it was just a more comprehensive consideration. Since the Chinese dared to attack the British, what if they dared to really "abandon" their United States? Who dared to really guarantee that the Chinese government did not intend to remain neutral in the war in Southeast Asia, and thus take this opportunity to slowly recuperate? From the perspective of the Japanese, when sending troops to Southeast Asia, they definitely hope that the Chinese battlefield can remain calm.

However, Japan is an invader and its weight is too small, not as strong as the United States' big leg.

Therefore, the rescue operation was launched on time.

...

"General MacArthur has sent a telegram, and they are ready. However, they are unable to break through the Japanese defense line arranged by the port in a short period of time, and they need our help."

The USS Fengxiang aircraft carrier, temporarily serving as the fleet aviation commander, Dulite, was a little excited: he led his team to bomb Japan, and not long ago participated in a large-scale battle. Now, he is going to participate in the rescue of an American general and his soldiers... This trip to the East is simply full of meaning. What he hopes now is that this action can go smoothly as much as the previous two times.

"The Japanese are not very obedient." Chen Shaokuan looked at the sea outside the window and turned around and asked. "First mate, how far is it from Manila?"

"It will be here in two hours." The first mate replied hurriedly.

"Have the Air Force set off?" Chen Shaokuan asked again.

"I have asked several times and have already set off." The first mate looked at him and replied with a strange look.

"... Ask again, ask when they will arrive." Chen Shaokuan did not notice the eyes of his subordinates. He was very nervous now, and his palms were sweating all over his palms. He was actually opposed to this so-called rescue operation... it was too dangerous. Behind the aircraft carrier "Fengxiang", dozens of ships of all sizes, but these ships were either cargo ships or passenger ships. In addition, there were only the battleship "Hyuga" and a heavy cruiser "Aoba". Three warships defended dozens of ships. Don't

It is said that their navy, which has only been re-established for a while, will be frightened even when the British Royal Navy comes. You know, there are dozens of Japanese warships in front of them. Once the opponent launches an attack on them, even with the bombs carried by the bombers on the "Fengxiang", they will find it difficult to escape. He is not afraid of death in battle, but he is afraid that the several important warships he finally obtained will be wasted in vain... Unfortunately, he cannot violate the will of Qin Wei.

"Bless the Dragon Prince, bless the action this time!" Chen Shaokuan prayed secretly. He suddenly envied Chen Jiliang. If he hadn't competed with Chen Jiliang at the beginning, then he would be the one who went to Hong Kong now. In that case, he would not have to suffer such torture now...

"And the turtle bastard named Qin actually provoked the chairman to let Dai Li be the minister of the navy... If this action goes well, you must ask carefully after you go back. Just the one named Dai, he knows what the navy is?"

“Buzz buzz…”

Chen Shaokuan's resentment towards Qin Wei became deeper and deeper, and just as he was thinking about how to politely reject Dai Li without angering Qin Wei, there were finally roars in the sky.

"The Air Force bomber formation has arrived!" Doolittle sighed and said.

"It's time to arrive," It's time to come. Looking back will be a death sentence! Chen Shaokuan pursed his lips, "Tell me the order, the fleet will advance at full speed, and be ready for combat... prepare to 'clean' the port!"

"yes!"

...

"Finally come!"

Not long after, on the side of Manila's back sea, Shouichichi Seishi, Sakagaki Seishiro and others gathered together, and also saw the "buzzing" group of bombers. They even saw the dazzling blue sky and sun sign on the fuselage.

"I heard that the Chinese invented a new anti-aircraft gun. The shooting accuracy has been increased by dozens of times. Unfortunately, until now, neither the British nor the Americans have been able to get these things from them." Soichi Teraunuchi put down his telescope. "It's a pity that the Empire also does not have such weapons."

"The Luftwaffe has developed a new jet fighter and will arrive in Tokyo soon. However, the number of such aircraft is still too small to meet the needs of large-scale air combat." Sakagaki Seishiro said, "Otherwise, the only service that the Chinese can rely on can become history."

"They are going to start to vote...not good!"

Shouchi Seiichi suddenly called out. Just as he was shouting, Seishiro Sakagaki, and others also changed into a look of horror... The bomber group suddenly divided their troops. They did not go straight to the port, but flew towards both sides of the port.

"Order Imamura to retreat immediately, retreat, retreat immediately!"

Seishiro Sakagaki shouted in a hurry. He had already followed the Qin Wei's "instructions" to release the route in the direction of the port and retreated the troops to both sides. But he did not do it blatantly, but was extremely secretive. Even the US military in front of him did not discover it. So in his opinion, if the US military really needed to go to the front line of the port, then the Chinese Air Force or Navy would definitely "clean up" the Japanese positions facing each other in front of the port. He really wanted to see the scene of the Chinese in vain, and also wanted to see the Americans' terror when they were retreating. But now the facts proved that he was wrong. The other party knew his actions and faced his ambush with the target as soon as he came up.

However, compared to Sakagaki Seishiro's panic, MacArthur's mood suddenly improved.

The Chinese used not ordinary aviation bombs or the mysterious weapon they had always expected, but napalm bombs.

In the shortest time, the large-scale bombing formed two huge and narrow burning belts on both sides of the road leading to the port... This burning belt can completely block all ambushes that may come from both sides. As for the troops in front of Seishiro Sakagaki, if he still doesn't understand that it is just a small force to confuse him, he will not have to live. In front of the American soldiers who are eager to go home, such a small force should not last for more than ten minutes.

"Flame all your shells, all! Within twenty minutes, I want our vanguard to arrive at the port and complete all the cover! Now!"

Since joining the army, MacArthur has never been so excited now... The feeling of escaping is much more enjoyable than when he won a battle. If there were no shells that suddenly exploded in the city, this feeling would make him think that he had won a battle, not running for his life.

"The Japanese attacked." Wainwright rushed over, "The Philippine army has begun to collapse!"

"Send troops to supervise the battle, no one is allowed to retreat, otherwise I will enforce the military law!" MacArthur did not have the slightest awareness of the marshal of the Philippines army, and issued a cold-blooded order without any mercy, "Tell those guys, just say that we are preparing for the final counterattack! We can break out immediately."

"This will not last long. Most of the senior Philippine generals are in our hands. They lack command." Wainwright reminded. In order to avoid the Japanese using the Philippine military and political leaders to rebuild the government after completely occupying the Philippines, and to ensure that the US military can return to the Philippines more smoothly in the future, MacArthur and he deceived many Philippine senior officials, including Philippine President Quezon in the name of a military meeting a few hours ago, and all were under house arrest and prepared to take them away. But this also caused a bad result: when attacked, the Philippine army, which was already extremely poor in quality, quickly fell into chaos.

"I think we should release at least one or two people. Let them have a unified command."

"Can't let go! I know very well what those guys look like. Don't forget that they were ready to rebel before, and I doubt that if I let them out, they would definitely choose to rebel as soon as possible! I will never allow this to happen. Besides, I am the marshal of the Philippines army, and I am qualified to command all the Philippine troops." MacArthur snorted coldly: "And it doesn't take too long. As long as there is half a day, our troops can all be on the ship."

"We have more than 30,000 people, half a day..."

"It's less than 30,000," MacArthur licked his tongue, "Skinny Monkey, you should understand that at this time, there will always be someone to be a 'hero'!"

“…”

Wainwright felt chills. He understood what MacArthur meant... Heroes naturally sacrificed themselves for others! But this also means being abandoned. If he was on MacArthur's standpoint, he should have chosen to do so, but as a deputy, he only felt uncomfortable at this time.

"Boom--"

There was a dismay between the two close friends, and at this moment, a loud noise that was different from the cannon suddenly came, and then the earth began to shake violently, as if it was an earthquake.

"This is--"

MacArthur and the others woke up at the same time, and rushed out of the outdoors almost at the same time. Immediately afterwards, they found the thick smoke rolling up in the distance.

"It's a death to explode!" MacArthur breathed lightly, "It's the Japanese artillery position!"

"This distance..."

"Ship gun!" MacArthur gritted his teeth and turned to look towards the port, "Chinese naval guns! Battleships!"
Chapter completed!
