    Of course, Qin Wei could not give up rescuing MacArthur, and even if he had this intention, the people in the National Government would not agree.  Everyone is counting on the U.S. dollar to live their lives. If we offend the Americans at this time, how will we live in the future?  Although the Chinese army still occupies a certain advantageous position when facing the Japanese, anyone with a little discernment can see that this is only temporary.  Compared with Japan, China's foundation is still too weak, especially its ability to sustain high-intensity combat.  Because China has almost no decent military industry to provide logistical support.  Battles like Shanxi can never happen again, because as long as there are one or two more battles like this, China will hit the bottom both financially and in terms of ammunition reserves.  "To the point where the war with the Japanese was on the verge of collapse.  Therefore, we must rescue the Americans and please the world's largest wealthy man.  The U.S. government could actually think of this. They warned MacArthur in advance, but it was just out of a more comprehensive consideration.  Since the Chinese dare to attack the British, what if they dare to really "abandon" them, the United States?  Who can really guarantee that the Chinese government has no intention of remaining neutral in the war in Southeast Asia and taking this opportunity to slowly recuperate?  From the standpoint of the Japanese, when sending troops to Southeast Asia, they must also hope that the Chinese battlefield can remain calm.  "However, Japan is the aggressor, and its portion is too small to compare with the thick leg of the United States.  Therefore, the rescue operation was launched on time.   "General MacArthur has sent a telegram and they have made all preparations. However, they are still unable to break through the Japanese defense line in the port direction in a short period of time and need our help." "Fengxiang" aircraft carrier, temporarily serving as  Fleet Aviation Commander Doolittle 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 an operation to rescue an American admiral and his soldiers  This trip to the East is simply full of meaning.  The only thing he hopes now is that this operation can go as smoothly as the previous two.  "The Japanese are not very obedient." Chen Shaokuan looked at the sea outside the window and turned to ask.  "First mate, how far is it from Manila?" "We'll be there in two hours." the first mate replied hurriedly.  "Has the Air Force set off?" Chen Shaokuan asked again.  ¡°I¡¯ve asked several times, and we¡¯ve already set off.¡± The first mate looked at him and replied, looking a little strange.  "ask again, when will they arrive." Chen Shaokuan didn't notice the look in his men's eyes. He was very nervous now, and his palms were all sweaty.  He was actually opposed to this so-called rescue operationit was too dangerous.  Behind the aircraft carrier "Fengxiang".  Dozens of ships, large and small, followed, but these ships were either cargo ships or passenger ships. In addition, there were only the battleship "Hyuuga" and a heavy cruiser "Aoba".  Three warships defended dozens of ships, not to mention their newly re-established navy.  Even the British Royal Navy has to be frightened when it 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", it will be difficult for them to escape. He is not afraid of dying in battle, he is afraid of the few important ships he finally obtained.  The battleship was wasted It's a pity that he couldn't violate Qin Wei's will.  "Dragon Prince bless you, may this operation go smoothly!" Chen Shaokuan prayed secretly.  He suddenly envied Chen Jiliang. If he had not fought with Chen Jiliang, he would be the one going to Hong Kong now.  if that is the case.  Now I don¡¯t have to suffer this kind of torture "And that bastard surnamed Qin actually instigated the Chairman to let Dai Li be the Minister of the Navy If this operation goes well, I must ask him carefully after he returns.  That guy named Dai, what does he know about the navy? " "Buzz buzz" Chen Shaokuan's resentment towards Qin Wei is getting deeper and deeper, and just as he is thinking about how to avoid angering Qin Wei,  When he politely rejected Dai Li, bursts of roaring sounds finally came from the sky.  "The Air Force's bomber formation has arrived!" Doolittle sighed and said.  ¡°It¡¯s time to get there,¡± it¡¯s come to this point.  It would be a capital offense to turn back!  Chen Shaokuan pursed his lips, "Give me the order, the fleet will advance at full speed, and prepare for combat Get ready to 'clear' the port!" "Yes!"  "Finally here!" Not long after, the side of Manila facing the sea  , Juichi Terauchi, Seishiro Sakagaki and others gathered together and saw the "buzzing" group of bombers arriving.  They even saw the dazzling blue sky and white sun logo on the fuselage.Chi.  "I heard that the Chinese invented a new type of anti-aircraft gun. The shooting accuracy has been improved dozens of times. Unfortunately, until now, neither the British nor the Americans have been able to get these things from them."  Terauchi Shouichi put down his telescope.  "It's a pity that the Empire also does not have this kind of weapon." "The German Air Force has developed a new jet fighter, which will be shipped to 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 military branch that the Chinese can rely on will become history." "They are going to start surrendering bad!" Terauchi Juichi suddenly shouted.  And just when he shouted out, Sakagaki Seishiro and others also put on a look of horror The bomber group suddenly divided its forces.  Instead of heading straight towards the port, they flew towards both sides of the port.  "Order Imamura Jun to retreat immediately, retreat, retreat immediately!" Sakagaki Seishiro shouted anxiously.  He had already followed Qin Wei's "instructions" to open the access road to the port and withdraw his troops to both sides.  But he didn't do it blatantly, but very secretly.  So much so that even the U.S. military in person didn't notice it.  Therefore, in his opinion, if the US military is really needed to be on the front line of the port, then the Chinese Air Force or Navy will definitely "clean up" the Japanese positions facing the port first.  He really wanted to see the sight of the Chinese working in vain, and also wanted to see the panic on the Americans' faces when they were suddenly ambushed by Japanese troops from both sides during their retreat.  But now it turns out: he was wrong.  The opponent was well aware of his actions and immediately targeted his ambush.  However, compared to Sakagaki Seishiro's panic, MacArthur's mood suddenly became better.  The Chinese used not ordinary aerial bombs, nor the mysterious weapons they had always expected, but napalm.  The large-scale bombing formed two huge and narrow burning belts on both sides of the road leading to the port in the shortest possible time This burning belt can completely block all possible ambush from both sides.  As for the army that Seishiro Sakagaki placed in front of him, if he didn't understand now that it was just a small force used to confuse him, he wouldn't have to live.  In front of American soldiers who are eager to go home, such a small force should not last more than ten minutes.  "Fire out all your artillery shells, all of them! Within twenty minutes, I want our vanguard to arrive at the port and complete all cover work! Immediately!" Since joining the army, MacArthur has never been so excited to escape.  The feeling is much better than when winning a battle.  If there hadn't been artillery shells that suddenly exploded in the city, this feeling would have made him think that he had won the battle instead of running for his life.  "The Japanese have 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 military law!" MacArthur did not have the consciousness of a marshal of the Philippine army at all.  He issued a cold-blooded order without mercy, "Tell those guys that we are preparing for the final counterattack! We can break out immediately." "This won't last long. Most of the senior generals of the Philippine Army are in our hands.  They lacked direction," Wainwright reminded.  In order to prevent the Japanese from using the top military and political leaders of the Philippines to rebuild the government after they completely occupied the Philippines, and to ensure that the U.S. military could return to the Philippines more smoothly in the future, MacArthur and he held a military meeting a few hours ago, including Philippine President Quezon.  Many high-level officials from the Philippines were all deceived and placed under house arrest, ready to be taken away together.  But this also had a negative consequence: when attacked, the Philippine army, which was already of extremely poor quality, fell into chaos faster.  "I think we should release at least one or two people so that they can have a unified command." "Can't release! I know very well what those guys look like. Don't forget, they have been preparing to rebel before, and I suspect,  Including Quezon, if I let them out, they will definitely choose to rebel at the first opportunity! What's more, I am the marshal of the Philippine army and I am qualified to command all Philippine troops.  MacArthur snorted: "And it doesn't take long. As long as we have half a day, all our troops can be on board." "We have more than 30,000 people. In half a day" "It's less than 30,000."  ," MacArthur licked his tongue, "Skinny Monkey, you should understand that at times like this, someone always has to be a 'hero'!" "" Wainwright felt cold.  He understood what MacArthur meant A hero naturally sacrifices himself for others!  But it also means being given up.  If he had been in MacArthur's position, he would have done the same.He chose to do this, but as a deputy, he only felt uncomfortable at this time.  "Boom¡ª¡ª" There was some silence between the two close partners, and at this moment, a loud noise that was different from a cannon suddenly came over, and then, the ground began to shake violently, like an earthquake.  .  ¡°This is¡ª¡± MacArthur and MacArthur woke up at the same time and rushed out of the house almost at the same time.  And then, they spotted the thick smoke billowing up in the distance.  "It's a sacrificial explosion!" MacArthur breathed out lightly, "It's a Japanese artillery position!" "This distance" "Navy guns!" MacArthur gritted his teeth and turned to look towards the port, "The Chinese's  Guns! Battleships!¡±
