The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 670 The situation is not good
On the road, the two teams walked silently, and soon competed with each other to see whose marching ability was stronger.

The American soldiers were very strong, with tall men and long thighs. At the beginning, they had an advantage and kept a certain distance from the members of the Taohuashan Special Forces.However, the members of the Taohuashan Special Forces remained unmoved and maintained their formation at a constant speed. As time went by, their endurance was shown, and they gradually caught up with the American soldiers.

Later, the advantages of the members of the Taohuashan Special Forces were revealed, and the soldiers of the United States tried their best to keep up.

In Manila, Jin Jing brought Gao Jiu and others to an inconspicuous place.This is an ordinary residence. If Jin Jing hadn't led the way, no one would have thought that those important American hostages would be held here.

The reason why the Japanese chose this was because they had already been attacked by the haibao commando, so they superficially strengthened the internal security of the special high school, but in fact they had secretly transferred the hostages here.

Jin Jing said in a low voice: "There are six guards in total, all of them are from our Special High School Action Unit, I tried to gather them together, and you are responsible for solving them.

Mr. Gao, I hope you can promise me one condition. "

Gao Jiu said, "Say it!"

Jin Jing said: "Mr. Gao, please don't keep your mouth alive later."

Gao Jiu and the others couldn't help being a little surprised when they heard him say this, they didn't understand why this guy was so ruthless?Gao Jiu understood after a little thought.

It turned out that Gao Jiu and the others were brought by Jin Jing, and he didn't want this news to leak out. Not only would he have no way out in the future, but his family would also be implicated.The guards guarding here all know Jin Jing. As long as they are alive, they are a huge threat to Jin Jing. In order to keep the secret, these guards can only be eliminated.

Gao Jiu nodded, and said softly, "Don't worry, since I promised you, I will definitely protect you."

"Thank you very much," Jin Jing said.He bowed to Gao Jiu, and then walked towards the yard.

Jin Jing knocked on the gate of that courtyard. The guard who opened the door knew Jin Jing and saluted him respectfully, then looked outside vigilantly and closed the gate.

Gao Jiu, Ning Wen, Ning Wu and others took advantage of Jin Jing's diversion of the guard's attention and quickly approached the courtyard.

Gao Jiu listened carefully to the commotion in the yard, and heard Jin Jing say, "Where are the others?"

The agent who opened the door said: "Now I and Inoue are on duty, and everyone else has already rested."

Jin Jing said: "Call Inoue over and go to your room. I have something important to announce to you."

The spy quickly called another guard on duty, and then followed Jin Jing into a nearby room.

Gao Jiu quickly climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard, and came to the door of that room.

Jin Jing deliberately left a small gap in the door, and Gao Jiu saw six guards standing side by side inside, and Jin Jing was lecturing them.

Gao Jiu rushed in without hesitation, and fired six shots at the guards.

The pistol with the silencer flashed and made a slight "pop" sound. The six guards had no time to resist, and all fell to the ground.

Jin Jing hurriedly took the key from the waist of one of the guards, and led Gao Jiu to a room with a big lock.

Gao Jiu whistled softly, and Ning Wen, Ning Wu and others also climbed over the wall and entered the yard.

Jin Jing was very attentive and took the initiative to open the big lock, then pushed open the door and turned on the light switch.

There were five Americans sitting in the room. They saw a group of Japanese officers and soldiers coming in. These people were not the plainclothes spies they usually saw. They didn't know what these people were going to do to them, and they all had expressions of horror on their faces.

Gao Jiu said kindly in English: "Don't be afraid, we are here to save you. Who is Mr. George?"

The few Americans didn't recover for a while, and couldn't believe that these people in front of them were really here to save them.

A thin-faced man in his 50s said doubtfully, "I am. May I ask who you are...?"

Gao Jiu said: "I'm Chinese, my name is Gao Jiu, and I'm here to rescue you at the invitation of your US military. Now the US Marine Corps haibao commando is waiting for you outside the city."

The Americans finally believed it, and said excitedly, "Are you the legendary Chinese hero Gao Jiu?"

Gao Jiu nodded and said, "I am Gao Jiu from the Taohuashan Special Team from China."

Several Americans were very excited, and they all greeted Gao Jiu and expressed their thanks to him.

Gao Jiu said: "Now is not the time to talk about this, how is your health? Is it easy to walk?"

These Americans were of high status, and the Japanese kept them for negotiations. Therefore, although they were under strict detention, they were not abused in life. They were in good health, and they all expressed that there was no problem.

The reason why Gao Jiu cared about their bodies was because Gao Jiu and the others were not sure that they would be able to rescue the American hostages tonight, so they did not prepare vehicles in advance.Another reason is that the Philippines also includes many parts of Southeast Asia. Unlike the cities built in China and Europe that have walls outside, Manila has no walls and there are many places to walk.

If you use a vehicle, you must go through various intersections, which will cause a lot of trouble.

The place where the hostages were held was quite remote, and it was not far from leaving the city. Gao Jiu and the others took the hostages and walked out of the city.

Gao Jiu and the others prepared hoods for the five Americans, in case they were interrogated by Japanese patrols, they would put hoods on them, pretending to be escorting anti-Japanese elements.With the cover of the hood, the Japanese could not confirm the identity of the person being escorted, and with the escort of Jinjing, there would be no trouble.

Along the way, under the leadership of Chen Zhifeng, they tried their best to walk in remote alleys.

Gao Jiu's ears were extremely sensitive, and the footsteps of the Japanese patrol could not be hidden from his ears.Gao Jiu and the others stopped and went, and they left the city smoothly and came to the wilderness.

Not long after, Gao Jiu and the Haibao commando waiting outside met.

Columbus and Taylor really did not expect that Gao Jiu and the others rescued the American hostages so quickly and safely. Everyone was overjoyed and full of admiration for Gao Jiu and the others.

At this time, Chen Xiaoya's family and the actress had been escorted out of the city by Lin Yanni and others.Gao Jiu promised to take them to the Golden Triangle, and Gao Jiu would be responsible for compensating their lost property.

That night, everyone returned to the camp of the Haibao Commando.

Taylor sent a telegram overnight to the upper echelons of the US military.

The telegram sent by the U.S. military thanked Gao Jiu and asked Gao Jiu and others to protect the hostages and wait for the submarine to come to pick them up.

Gao Jiu and the others waited for five full days, but the submarine of the US Navy still did not come.

Gao Jiu had an ominous premonition, worried that something unexpected would happen if the delay was too long.

In fact, not only Gao Jiu, but everyone is also worried, because these Americans were rescued, and of course the Japanese will not let it go, they will definitely strengthen the blockade of traffic arteries and coastal areas, and will not let the Americans escape. people searched.

Although the camp where Gao Jiu and the others are currently located is relatively secret, it is not far from Manila, and it is very likely that the Japanese will search for it.

Columbus once again sent a telegram to the U.S. military, urging the submarine to come over as soon as possible and transfer the hostages quickly.

The communication method of submarines is quite special.Submarines cannot directly communicate with submarines, submarines, surface ships, or aircraft in the air. They all send telegrams to the radio base stations designated by their superiors, and then the superiors forward them.

The U.S. military has not received any news from the submarine, so they can only ask Columbus and others to wait patiently.

At 10 o'clock in the morning of this day, a special forces member reported by wireless telegraph that a group of Japanese troops was found 1km east of the secret base and was searching in this direction.

It turned out that after the Americans were rescued, the Japanese Southern Expeditionary Force was very angry about this and immediately ordered an investigation into the matter. At the same time, it ordered the Japanese navy and air force to impose a strict blockade on the Philippines to prevent those Americans from escaping from Luzon Island.

The Japanese army stationed in Manila sent a large number of troops to conduct large-scale carpet searches and drag-net investigations in Manila and surrounding areas, and the scope of searches continued to expand to the suburbs.

The secret warehouse of the US Marine Corps is hidden in a mountainous area 46km away from Manila. Before entering the mountain, it has to pass through a rushing river. It is inaccessible and difficult to be found.

The Japanese army searched around Manila and found no clues, so they delineated areas around Manila where people were easy to hide and the terrain was complex.The place where the Marine Corps secret base is located has also become one of their key search areas.

What came to search was an infantry brigade of the Japanese army. Facing the vast mountains, they scattered three infantry squadrons to search in different areas, and one squadron of the Japanese army was heading towards the secret base.

Looking at the approaching Japanese army, Gao Jiu couldn't help frowning, he didn't want the Japanese army to find them.Luzon Island is surrounded by the sea and lacks strategic depth. Once fighting with the Japanese army, it will be more difficult to get rid of the enemy.However, the enemy can take advantage of the convenience of the sea and air force to transport reinforcements by air or sea at any time to outflank Gao Jiu and others, which is extremely dangerous.

Taylor has been in this area for a long time and is very familiar with the situation here. He said relaxedly: "Mr. Gao, you don't have to worry. The vegetation here is dense, hot and rainy. Our people just passed by, and the vegetation will soon return to its original state." The state is enough to cover the traces of our passing, and it is difficult for the Japanese to find here."

Gao Jiu nodded silently, and continued to watch the movements of the Japanese army.

Soon after, the Japanese army came to the river.They didn't find anything. Facing the rushing river and having no tools to cross the river, they looked at the other side of the river for a while, then turned and left.

Gao Jiu and the others breathed a sigh of relief.Taylor smiled and said: "Mr. Gao, let me just say it! The Japanese will not find out here. When this secret base was built, they mainly followed my advice. The large amount of materials hoarded here were all used It was transported by air, without leaving any features such as roads outside."

Ordinary secret bases usually leave secret passages for transportation on land. It is very rare for Taylor to have such a foresight.

Gao Jiu was about to praise him, but suddenly found that the Japanese soldiers stopped, and soon the Japanese soldiers returned.

It turned out that the Japanese army was about to leave, and one of the Japanese soldiers went to the bushes for convenience, but accidentally found a crumpled cigarette case.

Although the cigarette case has been blown by wind, sun, and rain, because it was crumpled into a ball, the inside has been well protected. When you unfold it, you can see the English logo on it, which is obviously a cigarette made in the United States.He hurriedly reported to the squadron leader.

Based on this, the squadron leader judged that Americans were active in this area, and based on the degree of corrosion of the cigarette case, it could be judged that the cigarette case had not been here for more than three months.This is enough to show that Americans used to be active in this area.

Not long ago, the Japanese army in Manila wiped out an American haibao commando, and later fought fiercely with another American haibao commando.Combined with the comprehensive intelligence judgment of the Navy and Air Force, they believe that on Luzon Island, especially around Manila, it is very likely that there are still Marines left by the Americans active.

At this time, the Japanese infantry had been equipped with short-distance radio communicators. The Japanese squadron leader immediately reported to the battalion leader, and led his squadron to search around the place where the cigarette box was found. Some of them went to the river again. come along.

Gao Jiu felt very bad. He believed that the Japanese army would launch a large-scale search in this area soon, and they would definitely cross the river and enter the mountains to search.No matter how secret the base of the Marine Corps is, it cannot escape the search of the Japanese army.

He said: "The situation is not good. We must prepare to evacuate the secret base."

Columb was unwilling to leave the secret base. He still had a fluke mentality and said: "The Japanese don't have tools to cross the river. They can only rely on swimming to cross the river. Not many people come over. It is unlikely that the secrets will be found in such a large mountainous area." The location of the base."

Taylor didn't think so. What he was most worried about now was the Japanese army crossing the river, because they had hidden two rubber boats on this side of the river, and the Japanese army might find them after crossing the river.

If the Japanese army determined that the Americans were hiding in the mountains on the other side of the river, crossing the river would not be a difficult task at all.At that time, a large number of Japanese troops poured into the mountains, and there was only a dead end waiting for them.

At this time, a large number of Japanese soldiers rushed to the river from other places, and soon some Japanese soldiers took off their clothes, jumped into the river and swam towards the other side of the river.
