I asked you to escape, but you became a soldier in World War II

Chapter 180 Escape from Death
Suddenly, something happened outside the cave, making the originally dark cave become a lot brighter.

Lin Chen understood that this must be the strong light produced by the explosion of an atomic bomb.

Light travels much faster than sound.
Soon, the rock wall inside the cave began to shake violently, and dust and rocks in the entire cave began to fall off in large quantities.
Only then did Lin Chen feel the pain of the Japanese soldiers in the tunnels on Iwo Jima and other places.
This feeling of fear is really unpleasant.

Soon there was a loud noise.

It sounded like thunder, but much louder than thunder.

Immediately afterwards, trees outside the cave fell down in large numbers, accompanied by large amounts of sand and gravel.

Needless to say, it was the huge shock wave generated by the explosion that spread around Hiroshima.

This shock wave is much more terrifying than any artillery bombardment. Any house and tree within its killing radius will be easily destroyed.

After all, this is the power of 2 tons of TNT equivalent.

Lin Chen was shocked in the cave, but he didn't dare to run outside.
You may not die if you stay inside, but if you get out, you will most likely be exposed to nuclear radiation.

【“Ding~” System reminder:
You have automatically upgraded from LV4 to LV5.

The ability gained from this upgrade is to resist slight radiation.

As your level continues to increase, this ability will automatically increase. 】

Oh, this thing is good.

It's really a wish come true. I didn't expect that I would get such a miraculous ability at such a critical moment.

Then we must run out of this cave which may collapse at any time.

"Boom~"

At this moment, a scene that made Lin Chen's heart break occurred.

Suddenly, a huge rock rolled down from the mountain and blocked the entrance of the cave.

Except for a watermelon-sized vent at the top, everything else was blocked.

Fuck, isn't it?

This is too deceptive.

Lin Chen took great effort to climb onto the boulder, but the opening was obviously not big enough for Lin Chen, who was over 1.8 meters tall, to get out.

This is really a bummer.

How can I persist in this damn place?

I didn’t eat or drink.

And judging by the bullshit tactics of the Japanese military leaders, they are most likely trying to block the news and prevent the people from knowing the truth.

By the time they find this place, they will probably all be dead!
Thinking of this, Lin Chen stopped wasting time. He began to find a place in the cave to wait quietly, and then listened carefully to the movements outside, hoping that someone would pass by and save him.

After waiting for a long time, there was no one outside.

Fortunately, it started to rain soon after.

He didn't care about radiation or not. He dug a few pits at the entrance of the cave to let the rainwater from above and outside the cave flow in, so that some water could be accumulated.

People may be able to survive for a few days without food, but without water, they probably won’t be able to survive for 2 days.

The days in the cave were extremely tormenting.

The emptiness and loneliness are okay, the key is that there is nothing to eat.

Occasionally, a few mice would sneak in, but they were caught by Lin Chen and eaten whole.

There was a relatively large bird, whose species I couldn't tell, that stayed at the entrance of the cave for a while.
He was immediately grabbed by Lin Chen's iron-like right hand and dragged into the cave.

But this amount of food was not enough, and Lin Chen became thinner and thinner.
The most frustrating thing is that it didn't rain for several days.

The only way to quench your thirst in the cave is to lick the slightly damp walls.

I don't know how many days have passed like this.

Finally, he heard a rare sound coming from outside.

"How could His Majesty Tianhuang abandon his people? He actually issued the "Edict to End the War"

"Shut up. Only by surrendering can you survive. Didn't you see the bomb that was dropped not long ago? The entire Hiroshima was flattened."

"I heard that Nagasaki was also bombed to the ground. I don't know if it's true or not."

"Alas, the Kwantung Army was also completely wiped out by the Russians. We have no choice but to surrender."

Lin Chen could hear from the voices of people passing by that Japan was finally about to surrender.

"Someone, help!"

"Someone, help!"

"Someone, help!"

Lin Chen used up his last bit of strength and yelled madly,

Even though there were Japanese people everywhere, he couldn't care less.

"Who is inside?"

When the people outside heard that there was someone else in such a remote place, they were really shocked.

Lin Chen quickly told his story.
Of course, you definitely can't say that you are from the US military.

People outside are skeptical, but they think that it is really not easy for the survivors on the Japanese islands.

They then thought of a solution but still couldn't find a solution.

There was no other choice but to throw a pot of water down from above, and then several people went down the mountain to find tools to rescue people.

As a result, we found a lot of ropes and pickaxes, and there were also a lot of people outside.
But no matter what I did, I couldn't get it open.

Apart from giving Lin Chen some food and water, there was nothing else he could do.

Because most of the local iron tools were confiscated and sent back to the furnace.

There is no way to do it just by relying on hemp ropes or something like that.

In the end, I don't know who actually attracted the landing American troops.

The American troops outside were obviously here for sightseeing.

When they heard that there were Japanese trapped in the cave, they came here with the intention of watching a good show.

When I saw such a huge rock, I was stunned.

To break this kind of stone, you need either large machinery or TNT explosives.

This is also to prevent the hole from collapsing.

But how could heavy machinery be driven into such a remote place just for the civilians of an enemy country?

After discussing it, a few people decided to walk over and throw a grenade into the cave to help the poor guy inside out of his trouble.

When they climbed up the boulder and tried to throw the grenade,
He also joked, "Don't blame us, blame you for provoking us first."

"Which unit are you from?"

Several people were shocked when they heard the pure English.
Can this Japanese speak English?
Could it be that I was hallucinating?

"I am a US military pilot, save me!"

Lin Chen didn't dare to reveal his true identity, so he could only report that he was a pilot.

Unexpectedly, the people outside burst into laughter after hearing this.
"Are you kidding me? How could our pilot be here?"

"I'm not joking," Lin Chen quickly reported the number of his original bomber unit and the combat route.

Although the Marines outside did not know the contents of the Air Force, they believed Lin Chen's clear explanation of the secrets immediately. "You can contact the B-29 bomber group directly and tell them that I am the missing pilot who was performing a high-altitude photography mission on August 8, and they will know."

"Sir, what is your name and military number?"

After some thought, Lin Chen decided to report his military ID number but not his name for the time being.

The American soldiers outside felt that the matter was of great importance, so they sent two people to the nearest camp to report the news, while the others remained on guard where they were.

Rescuing an American pilot during wartime is a great achievement.

We waited until dusk, and suddenly a huge convoy arrived at the foot of the mountain.

There were two large bulldozers and two tractors following at the end.

This stunned the Japanese villagers who were watching the fun, and the American soldiers who stayed behind also felt that something was wrong.

"Colonel Lin Chen, is that you?"

An army major approached the cave entrance cautiously and asked in an extremely humble manner.

"It's me, who are you?" Lin Chen was still quite alert.

The major officer outside was very excited.
"We have checked with the bomber group. General LM called us personally and asked us to rescue you at all costs. Please wait, we will start the work immediately. This time we brought heavy equipment to ensure that there will be no mistakes."

With the help of the US military's heavy equipment, the boulder was finally slowly pulled away.

A tall but skinny "Japanese" private walked out tremblingly.

Isn’t this person Lin Chen who survived a disaster?
If it weren't for his unusual physique, he wouldn't have been able to hold on for so long.

The Japanese people who were watching the excitement outside were dumbfounded. Because of the language barrier, they had no idea that Lin Chen was a high-ranking US military official and thought he was going to be captured by the US military.

Suddenly, they rushed forward and tried to rescue Lin Chen.

The American major was shocked and ordered the soldiers to load their guns.

Lin Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry when watching this scene.

"Who of you was outside first?"

Hearing Lin Chen's question,

Immediately, two people raised their hands.
"You are very nice. They didn't arrest me, they took me to visit them!" Lin Chen explained.

"Major, give them some food and bonus. They are good people who want to save me!"

Hearing Lin Chen say this, the major immediately got some bread and US dollars and handed them to the two men, who were completely dumbfounded.

Until Lin Chen was carried onto a stretcher and left far away.

They all looked at each other and took a bite. This was authentic butter bread!
There are also US dollars, which have been issued!

The two of them immediately cheered and jumped for joy.
This aroused the envy of others, and they all wanted to go and see if there was anyone trapped in the cave.

Lin Chen underwent a simple physical examination at the temporary base of the US military, and then ate some liquid food.

Because I haven't eaten for a long time, I can't just eat bread or something.

Although he really wanted to eat.

But the advice of the medical soldiers must be listened to.
But the medical soldiers were very shocked. Apart from being a little weak, everything else about this officer was normal. It was really incredible!
Most people would have died if they stayed in a hellish place like that for so long.

Lin Chen looked at the calendar next to him and found that it was already August 8st.

I stayed in the cave for 25 days?
this is too scary.

Fortunately, his recovery speed was amazing. The electrolytes and milk he replenished helped him regain some strength quickly.

My former superiors and colleagues called me one after another to say hello.
This made the officers in this temporary base extremely envious.

The highest officer in the garrison was a lieutenant colonel.

Therefore, he showed great respect to Lin Chen and responded to his every request.

So Lin Chen asked everyone to prepare some "hard dishes" for him.
Under the stunned gaze of the medical staff, all the food was eaten up.

It was so shocking that everyone's jaw dropped.

The key point is that at night, after he took a shower and changed into a brand new military uniform, he looked completely radiant.

What kind of abnormal recovery speed is this?

That night, Lin Chen slept more comfortably than ever before. After all the fear and worry until now, the battle was finally over.

The next morning, the army prepared a vehicle to take Lin Chen to the military airport ahead.

They were going to take a transport plane to Yokosuka, which was the highest headquarters of the US military in Japan. Since Lin Chen was in good health, he naturally had to report to the headquarters.

Along the way, we learned through chatting that the Japanese army had completely laid down their arms, and now Japan was officially taken over by the US military.

Lin Chen couldn't help but feel in a good mood. He was a colonel in the US Army, so he could walk around here like a madman, right?

Taking off from Okayama Military Airport, it took just over an hour to reach Yokosuka Military Airport in Yokohama.

This is now the headquarters of the US military in Japan.

After Lin Chen got off the plane, he was taken away by the officer who came to pick him up and drove to the Yokosuka military camp.

Here, Lin Chen found that the security was really tight, and all the warships at the port were on combat readiness duty.

There are Mustang fighter jets patrolling the sky 24 hours a day.

He looked like he was facing a formidable enemy.

Although the streets were covered with rubble and ruins, at least a few main roads had been cleared.

When the Japanese people saw the jeep of Lin Chen and others, they still showed some fear.

Suddenly Lin Chen remembered an anecdote about Wu Zetian.
Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, obtained a fierce horse called Lion Steed, but he could never tame it.

But Wu Zetian only asked for three things: an iron whip, an iron hammer, and a dagger.

Finally, I succeeded in training it to be obedient.

It can be seen that no matter how ferocious the beast is, as long as it is tamed, we can still communicate with it.

As a colonel, Lin Chen was received by Lieutenant General Rod of the US Forces Japan Command.

As Mac's deputy, he is also a good friend of Director Duo.

Therefore, I was very interested in how Lin Chen was trapped in the cave for so long and yet managed to survive.

"General, this time I was lucky to have the troops come to my aid, otherwise I would be doomed."

Lin Chen recounted the entire process of how he was sent here on a mission for reconnaissance, how he was shot down, how he blended into the Japanese army, and how he survived the disaster.

Lieutenant General Rhodes couldn't help but sigh, he actually stayed in the cave for 25 days without dying, this is truly a Guinness World Record.

So he quickly joked,
"Here, you don't have to eat dead rats anymore. Japan lacks everything except seafood. I'll ask the restaurant to prepare some king crabs for you and open a bottle of whiskey for you. The sake here is rubbish. I can't get used to it."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

"By the way, now that the battle is over, you can drink. The commander-in-chief has issued an order that personnel who are not on combat duty are allowed to drink in moderation."

This is a rather rare thing.

Because Lin Chen had always heard that Commander-in-Chief Mai was extremely strict in his military discipline,
Being able to issue such an order, it should be said that he is quite optimistic about the development of the current situation.

"Tomorrow, we will accept Japan's formal unconditional surrender. What are your plans?" Rhodes asked calmly.

"If possible, I hope to participate in the surrender ceremony. It will be a great honor for me."

Lin Chen answered excitedly.
