Chapter 3136 Eight Photos
On January 1945, 1, the U.S. military arrived at the scheduled landing site at Lingayin Bay.
Three years ago, the Japanese army landed on Luzon Island from here, and MacArthur chose to land here in order to complete his "perfect revenge plan."
At 1:9 a.m. on January 7, naval fire support ships bombarded the beach according to the combat plan, and carrier-based aircraft also violently bombed the landing site.
9时30分，第6集团军的4个师乘坐2500多艘登陆舰开始冲击海滩。
Since Yamashita Fufumi did not intend to carry out anti-landing operations at all, the US military's operation this time was smoother than when it landed on Wright Island. On the first day alone, 6.8 people successfully landed, and established a 27-kilometer-wide and 6-kilometer-depth landing field.
MacArthur also landed on the coast this afternoon, just like landing on Wright Island.
"Thank God I'm back."
Facing the reporters accompanying the army, MacArthur said complacently: "I have fulfilled my promise, and I am back!"
Yes, he is back.
However, this is only the beginning of the Luzon battle, and more brutal wars are still waiting for these Americans!
Naturally, the primary goal of the U.S. military after landing on Luzon Island was to liberate Manila.
MacArthur knew that after the successful landing of the U.S. military, the Japanese army would definitely vent their anger by slaughtering prisoners of war. If the U.S. military did not arrive in Manila earlier, I am afraid that the subordinates who defended the Bataan Peninsula with MacArthur at the beginning would die.
And Nimitz is also urging him to return the ship to himself quickly, because he is about to land on Iwo Jima.
"Sir, Corporal Frank Antoine has arrived."
MacArthur, who was looking at the map, immediately put down his work: "Let him in."
As soon as Frank came in, he gave MacArthur a surprise: "Mr. Commander."
"Take it easy, Corporal."
MacArthur looked at the American corporal who had narrowly escaped death.
Her spirit has recovered a lot, but the wounds on her face and hands are still visible.
Then MacArthur said, "Tell me what you know."
"Including me, there are 46 people in total, 46 prisoners of war."
Although full of fear of memories, Frank still tried his best to make himself as calm as possible and said:
"Early in the morning, we were kicked out of the prisoner-of-war camp. We got on the truck and were taken to a cave. The Japanese let us enter the cave. Although we had discovered anomalies, they threatened us with bayonets.
When we entered, the Japanese began to seal the entrance of the cave, and then the most horrific scene happened.Before the hole was completely blocked, they began to pour gasoline into the hole, and then lit the fire.
We screamed and begged wildly, but the only response to us was the wild laughter of the beasts outside the cave.I saw with my own eyes the people around me fell down one after another, howling in agony..."
Speaking of this, he has tears streaming down his face.
"Please calm down, Corporal." Although MacArthur was also filled with anger, he managed to remain calm: "How did you narrowly escape?"
Frank adjusted his emotions: "I tore off my clothes, then peed on me, and covered my nose to keep me from suffocating for a while.
I found that in the corner of the cave, there were traces of being dug by someone, and then I found that there was actually a grenade hidden underneath.I know that someone put it here on purpose.
I immediately took out the grenade, and when I heard the Japanese leaving, I immediately stuffed the grenade into the cave that blocked the entrance of the cave, and then detonated the grenade, blowing a hole out of the cave entrance. "
Relying on this hole, Frank tried his best to dig out a hole that barely allowed him to get out, and escaped from this place of death.
"All I could think about at the time was to get out of here as soon as possible." Frank panted, "But I didn't know where to go, and at this moment, a car suddenly stopped in front of me.
A Japanese officer got out of the car. I recognized him, and he was there when we were driven into the cave.At that time, I was completely desperate.However, the development of things is not at all what I imagined..."
Frank still clearly remembers every detail of what happened that day.
Li Zhifeng got off the car, and only said a word in not-so-fluent English: "I know someone must be able to find that grenade!"
With just this one sentence, Frank knew that it was the person in front of him who saved him.
"Who are you?" Frank asked in surprise.
"Don't care who I am, it's an emergency, get in the car with me."
In this way, Frank got into the Japanese officer's car.
After driving for a while, Li Zhifeng stopped the car: "Get out of the car."
Immediately, he took out a bag and handed it to Frank: "Here are weapons and food. Go straight here. You will see the guerrillas soon. I can only send you here."
Frank didn't know how to thank the savior at all: "Sir, may I know your name?"
"No need." Li Zhifeng smiled: "I am already a dead person, and a dead person has no name."
What do you mean, dead man?
Frank didn't understand at all.
"correct."
Li Zhifeng said to him again: "There is an envelope in the bag, and the contents inside must be handed over to Commander MacArthur."
Did you talk about yourself?
MacArthur immediately asked: "Did you bring this envelope?"
"Yes, sir."
Frank immediately produced the envelope.
MacArthur took over.
Inside the envelope are eight photos.
When seeing these eight photos, MacArthur's face also changed.
In the photo, it is relatively clear how the Japanese army slaughtered the 46 American prisoners of war.
This is the most direct evidence.
"gentlemen."
At this time, his assistant hurried in: "We just got the information that 150 of our prisoners of war were executed."
On December 1944, 12, just as the U.S. military was preparing to attack Luzon, the Japanese executed 14 U.S. prisoners of war in Palawan.
The method of execution is exactly the same as when Frank and others were executed.
The prisoners of war were driven into the air-raid shelter, the Japanese army sealed the exit and poured gasoline into the hole, and then burned the prisoners alive.
Fortunately, U.S. Private First Class Eugene Nelson also survived and described the experience to U.S. Army Intelligence on January 1945, 1.
MacArthur's face was completely distorted.
He held these eight photos tightly in his hands: "This time, beasts, beasts, these Japanese monkeys that should be thrown into hell, they will usher in the most violent revenge from the Americans."
"Sir." Frank said boldly, "We still have a lot of prisoners of war in the Philippines. The top priority now is how to rescue them as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late, and the Japanese will kill them all!"
