Chapter 279: Escape

The Japanese army soon poured like a tidal wave in the direction of the "wolf's horn" where the Chinese army was stationed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

In fact, it was not entirely the Japanese army, but also a large number of American soldiers who were chased by the Japanese and fled for their lives, including Brigadier General Willett, the commander of the 3rd Marine Division.

Brigadier General Willett could no longer maintain his demeanor, and he scrambled into a jeep under the protection of a group of guards in an attempt to get out of the place as quickly as possible, but soon found that this was not a good idea......

The first is that there are too many people running around in front of and behind the car, which makes the jeep not fast all the time, and sometimes it has to stop to avoid hitting people.

Worse still...... The jeep is too eye-catching, the Japanese soldiers mixed in the US army can see the jeep at a glance, and the jeep is still a very high-end thing in the Japanese army, the Japanese army will not produce the hip car in World War II, and the jeep used on the battlefield is still imported or captured from Germany, and generally only senior officers can use the jeep, and the middle and low-level officers generally carry a car or use a horse to travel.

So as soon as the Japanese saw the jeep...... Then you don't have to think about it, you must know that it is a thing that the American official rides, so they have pointed their guns at the jeep.

After only a few gunshots, the window of the jeep was shattered, and the guard sitting in the passenger cab was shot in the head and fell in a pool of blood before he could react, and his brain and blood sprayed all over the car, and even Villit, who was sitting in the back seat, could not avoid being sprayed in the face. Then, a white smoke was thrown in from the car window...... Don't think about it, it's definitely a grenade.

The other American soldiers in the car were stunned at the time, they were Villitt's guards, they had been following Villit all the time so they had hardly fought, and they didn't know what to do at this moment except for an exclamation.

And Villett ...... He was worthy of a man from the First World War, he shouted "grenade", and then jumped out of the jeep and ran a few steps and fell to the ground.

With a "boom", the jeep exploded into flames behind him, and no one could escape except Villit himself.

"General!" Several frightened guards followed, once again by his side, and said, "I think we'd better walk!" ”

Villit hummed, then said to the guard, "Get me a helmet and a rifle......

"General!" Hearing this, the guard couldn't help but be stunned.

"Go!"

"Yes!"

Soon the helmet and rifle were in the hands of Villit, apparently taken from the fallen soldier, and the blood on them had not even dried.

Without saying a word, Velite put his steel helmet on his head and clutched his rifle like a soldier.

"Now!" Villit ordered: "Treat me like a soldier...... And not to protect me like a general! ”

Only then did the guards understand Villit's purpose for the helmet and rifle.

Villitt was clever in what he did, which saved his life, otherwise ...... It won't be long before he falls under the guns of Japanese snipers.

But that's not all, in the process of fleeing to the "wolf's horn", there were gunshots and explosions all the way, and there were constantly American soldiers screaming and falling in front of and behind Willett, while the other American soldiers did not even have time to rescue them, and they did not even have time to tear off their military cards.

After the war, when Willett described this scene in his memoirs, he wrote in the book: "I thought that I could take the soldiers of the 3rd Marine Division to recover the blood debt from the Japanese, but it was clear that I underestimated the enemy. I was humiliated like never before, being hunted down by the enemy, fleeing in disarray, and the most ridiculous thing was that I didn't even know where the enemy was, or how many troops they had! ”

Fortunately, the US defense line was not far from the "Wolf Horn", which was defended by the Chinese troops, only one kilometer.

Ten minutes later, the defeated American troops rushed to the "wolf's horn" like a tide, but they were not allowed to enter the "wolf's horn", but heard a burst of machine gunfire.

"What's going on?" Villitt asked, "Could it be that the Japanese have also mixed in with the 'wolf horns'?" ”

This thought couldn't help but make Willett shiver, if this is the case, then there will be no place for the American army tonight.

"No, General!" One of the guards turned around and reported: "They are Chinese, but they did not allow us to enter the 'wolf's horn', they ordered us to lie down, lie down in place!" ”

"Go ******!" Villitt cursed as he walked out of the troops, he wanted to use his status as a general to order the Chinese troops to let them go.

But he soon realized that he was wrong, because before he could shout, he was locked by a searchlight, and a volley of bullets hit him in front of him, preventing him from moving on.

"I'll say it again!" Wu Yuhang held the horn and shouted: "If you want to live, all lie down, and then throw away the gun and slowly crawl over!" Otherwise we can only shoot you as Japanese! ”

A U.S. military adviser followed aloud to translate the order and added a few words: "It's not a joke, they're really going to kill you!" So, it's better to listen to the orders of the Chinese and get down! And drop the gun and crawl over slowly! I repeat...... Drop the gun and crawl over slowly! ”

"General!" The guard asked Villitt, "What should we do?" ”

Willett blushed and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Obey orders!" Drop the gun and crawl over! ”

At this time, Villitt felt that he was humiliated by the Chinese troops, because he believed that the Chinese troops as allies had no right to surrender the weapons of the US army, and even in Velite's psychology, there was a sense of superiority, he felt that the status of the US military was naturally above the Chinese army, but now the US army was to be disarmed by the Chinese army...... This almost completely lost the dignity of the 3rd Marine Division.

Villit swore in his heart that when this incident was over, he would make the Chinese army explain and apologize for this, and make the Chinese commander who gave this order pay the price! A heavy price!

But after the war, Villit did not do so.

Because it was only later that Villit realized that it was precisely the Chinese army's actions that saved their lives.

Otherwise, the Japanese would be caught in their middle and infiltrate the Chinese defenses, which would then be hit in the same way as the U.S. defense areas...... Once the war situation develops like this, then the Sino-US coalition forces will really have no place to stand on this island.

But fortunately, none of this happened, although there were still Japanese troops chasing behind them, but the American soldiers still fell down in pieces waiting for the next order, so the situation was well controlled!
