Chapter 152 Super Engineer

Although the Filipino guerrillas have their own ulterior motives, no one can escape the true fragrance law that if you have milk, you must be a mother.

Soon, relying on the sustainable output of the arsenal, he turned from a puppet to the real leader of the guerrillas in the southern Philippines.

During this period, the number of Filipino guerrillas flying the banner of Brigadier General Fittig was as high as 3.

Fittig, who has the leadership, pursues the victory even more, and soon there will be more sources of rags.

The guerrillas got some small boats equipped with various machine guns rescued from downed bombers, homemade cannons, and even mortars. They put all the 20mm mortar guns and bomber cannons on the boats. One ship has even come up with its own naval battleship, armored with large circular forestry saws taken from an abandoned plantation.

He used these "battleships" to protect convoys of small boats that helped distribute supplies brought in by submarines.

The ships also attacked Japanese ships, mainly small coastal craft and patrol boats.

Some of the operations these ships were involved in were heroic to the extreme, harassing Japanese ports at regular intervals, such as a small ship intentionally engaged in a continuous battle with a large Japanese steamer, and another sailing ship with a 20mm cannon repelled one The Japanese plane, actually shot down one, setting the record for the only schooner to shoot down a plane - a Japanese Mitsubishi medium bomber.

After that, he repaired the machine guns and submachine guns lost by the U.S. Army. The Japanese army was still in the 38th building. Some elite guerrillas here began to replace them with American weapons, and even pulled out the abandoned U.S. tanks in the jungle.

To help prepare for an eventual U.S. invasion, Fittig even prepared and camouflaged a 7000-foot (2100-meter) airstrip that took more than a year to build. Topsoil was removed and crops were planted.

All that's needed is a bulldozer to scrape off the top soil, and the airstrip is ready for planes.

Under such circumstances, the Japanese were numb. By 43, the guerrillas had almost controlled the second largest island in the Philippines. The Japanese only dared to shiver in the city on the island.

The form was great until he met the enemy of his life - MacArthur.

As an army star, Lao Mai was driven away, and a fake brigadier actually fought back and forth with the Japanese, what he thought in his heart, needless to say...

In addition to tactics, the two of them can't urinate in a pot.

As a result, under the circumstances of disagreement with the top management (MacArthur), Fittig was cut off from logistics and could only be self-sufficient.

Later, he commanded the battle and brought a wave of hundreds of regiments to the Japanese.

The guerrillas suffered countless casualties, and Fittig himself almost lost his life because of this, but the Japanese failed to defeat the people's war after all, and both sides were greatly injured.

In this battle, the Filipino guerrillas could not be counted due to management chaos, and the Japanese army left 6000 corpses and hurriedly withdrew from the rainforest.

From then on, the Japanese army commander sent out representatives and reached a private deal with the guerrillas. The Japanese army only controlled the port in the city and did not go out.

(You guys like to toss and toss in the countryside. If you beat us away, the imperial army base camp will send more powerful guys over, which is not good for you.)
Seeing the depleted guerrillas, Fittig had no choice but to agree to the Japanese request.

At this time, MacArthur smelled the meritorious deeds, and he restored the supplies of the guerrillas. Fettig, who had won a great victory, was picked by MacArthur.

(What a crumb!)
As a soldier, MacArthur is a scumbag, but in the political field he simply won the hemp, relying on the lives of countless Filipinos.

He made headlines for himself - the great victory of the American troops behind enemy lines under the leadership of the great Marshal MacArthur.

Time flies, and a year passed quickly. At the end of 44, the Japanese army was at the end of its strength. The US military turned from defense to offense, and MacArthur began to counterattack the Philippines.

Relying on the powerful naval and air blockade of the Federation, MacArthur judged that the Japanese army was short of supplies, and he felt that he could do it again.

He let the Filipino guerrillas attack and occupy the Japanese southern airport, and he immediately led the troops to airborne to the Philippines.

Thus, the Filipino southern guerrillas began the most tragic battle. Fittig dared to attack the Japanese airport, which was armed to the teeth, because he believed that MacArthur's reinforcements would arrive soon.

MacArthur's army set out from Australia. In any case, it liberated the south first, and then went north with the guerrillas.

But he still overestimated MacArthur's moral bottom line!

These small cities in the south are far less newsworthy than Manila, the capital of the Philippines.

On the headlines of the newspaper, it is not conspicuous.

Ever since, MacArthur decided to attack Manila in the north first.

Fittig became his suspected soldier to confront the Japanese head-on, making the illusion that the U.S. military was going to log in to the south.

Fittig was fooled, and so were the Japanese.

It's a good trick to cheat the sky!However, MacArthur was useless, and the infamous Battle of Manila began.

The battle lasted for a month with the strong fighting the weak. The U.S. military suffered 7000 casualties, the Japanese army killed 16000 in the end, and the Filipino civilian casualties were 10. Most of them died in the Japanese massacre.

The Fettig guerrillas in the south were even worse. They captured the Japanese airport by surprise attack, but what awaited them was not reinforcements, but the crazy counterattack of the Japanese army. How could the guerrillas head-to-head with the regular army?

The guerrillas were afraid of withdrawing by themselves, so the U.S. military parachuted into the Japanese guns.

As a result, the guerrillas were almost wiped out in a battle without reinforcements, which can be regarded as MacArthur's conscience. After he liberated Manila, he immediately sent troops to support Fitig.

After Fettig learned the truth, he almost collapsed.

For MacArthur, the dead are just insignificant Filipinos, but for Fittig, these are comrades-in-arms who get along day and night. I'm sorry for the brothers who have been with him for 3 years. He led them to execute them without their knowledge. A suicide attack task, his heart is almost broken and full of remorse and guilt.

After the war, he wrote to MacArthur stating that his war was over, and that the fake brigadier general was no longer needed with the liberation of the Philippines, and asked for permission to return to China for recuperation. MacArthur readily agreed to Fittig's request.

Before leaving, Fittig almost knelt down and begged MacArthur: Please treat these surviving guerrillas well, they are warriors and deserve the treatment they deserve, and please incorporate them into the regular army.

MacArthur patted his chest to express that there was no problem, agreed with all his mouth, and sold him backhandedly.

After Fittig left, Emperor Mai immediately changed his face-disbanded these rural guerrillas on the grounds that they had communist ideology, and he was afraid that these guys would gather into a political force, which would be detrimental to the future federal rule in the Philippines.
