At the end of the East China Sea Fleet led by Deng Shichang, which shelled the Matador Naval Base in Manila, the Zhongyong Army Army troops also arrived by boat.
Under the escort of Lu Han's South China Sea Fleet, a large number of logistics support ships and troop transport ships successfully arrived at the Manila base.
First, Liu Chengliang's special forces were put down. The special forces, all in camouflage uniforms, jumped onto the shore like dumplings.
The special forces who arrived at the shore base first quickly took control of the area near the shore base, and the special forces who disembarked later moved deeper into the base.
At this time, Liu Chengliang, dressed in the uniform of a major general, quickly jumped off the troop transport ship, strode to the special forces soldiers who were forming a column, and loudly ordered:
Brothers! We are special forces, and we must be at the forefront in everything!
Navy comrades, we have completed the mission perfectly. Now it is up to us. According to the scheduled plan, the 1st to 5th divisions will advance outside the Matador Base, targeting the Matador Manila Governor's Palace. The 6th Division is responsible for on-site security.
,Search mission~set off!
Standing upright in front of the queue, the commanders of the special forces led everyone and solemnly saluted Liu Chengliang: Yes! I promise to complete the mission!
Then they turned around and ran, leading their troops to carry out their mission.
Liu Chengliang returned the military salute to the soldiers' backs!
After several years of training, Liu Chengliang has now entered the ranks of a mature man. He no longer looks like a young boy a few years ago. His whole body reveals a temperament that is completely different from that of soldiers of this era.
It is not an exaggeration to say that soldiers in that era were called soldiers and bandits, and the temperament Liu Chengliang exuded was completely that of an outstanding modern professional soldier in later generations.
His once young life was quenched and sublimated in the furnace of the Zhongyong Army. The young boy in the past developed a resolute face, a straight body, and strong shoulders, and became a man full of confidence and never give up.
Iron-blooded man.
Not only Liu Chengliang is like this, but almost everyone else in the Zhongyong Army is like this, all of them!
This group of iron-blooded soldiers who resemble wolves and tigers, at this moment, performed the Chinese loyal and brave army. They were completely different from the gangsterism of this era, and they achieved a unique military style of not being chivalrous but brave, not angry and self-defeating.
They move like the wind, stand like a pine tree, and sit like a bell; they enforce orders and prohibitions with force and resoluteness; the most important thing is that their eyes and brows reveal the pride and pride that a soldier of the Chinese loyal army should have!
When Liu Chengliang's troops docked and lined up, almost at the same time, the logistics support ship also began to dock and unload. What they unloaded were a large number of light and heavy weapons, firearms and artillery shells.
As the main battlefield of the army, large-caliber artillery is indispensable. These large-caliber artillery are not transported as a whole. They are basically disassembled and assembled in advance, and then transported to the field and then reinstalled in scattered pieces.
of.
Only a very small number of small-caliber rapid-fire guns are transported in a complete package. Although this makes transportation convenient, it also causes trouble when landing.
However, with the skilled dispatching and assembly of logistics personnel, these weapons and ammunition were very fast from downloading to molding, and did not delay the normal dispatching of field troops.
With Liu Chengliang's special forces taking the lead, Wu Fengdian's elite Second Army, and 50,000 field troops, they can calmly carry heavy weapons and follow Liu Chengliang's troops toward the final goal~
Arrive at the Governor's Palace in Manila.
Liu Chengliang's Sixth Division stayed in place, responsible for guarding and searching the Matador's naval base.
By the time Wu Fengdian and Liu Chengliang arrived at the outer city of Matador Manila, the first five divisions of the special forces had completed a strategic encirclement. They and the few matadors in Manila saw a confrontation.
.
Because the first five divisions of the special forces easily wiped out the matadors and ghosts who resisted sporadically along the way, the subsequent field troops did not encounter any effective resistance.
The matadors never thought that the Chinese Zhongyong Army would really dare to land and fight. Therefore, they had no effective preparations at all and were caught off guard by the sudden attack of the Zhongyong Army.
There are tens of thousands of matadors stationed in the Philippines, but they are all scattered and not effectively dispatched at all...
Therefore, at the Governor's Palace in Manila, the number of Matador soldiers gathered urgently was not even 20,000.
With 20,000 people facing off against the 80,000 fully armed professional soldiers of the Loyal Yong Army, just think about the result of the matador and you will know what the result will be.
Wu Fengdian's field troops were not in a hurry to attack the Governor's Palace. Instead, they first sent some field army soldiers to set up roadblocks and set up cannons and machine guns on the roads leading to the city to prevent matadors from other cities from coming to support Manila.
Other loyal warriors, including special forces soldiers, dispersed and surrounded the city of Manila.
Within a safe distance, the Zhongyong Army set up the large-caliber and small-caliber artillery that had just been transported, and aimed their eerie muzzles at the city gates of Manila.
After everything was arranged properly, Wu Fengdian ordered the general attack to begin.
According to the practice of the Zhongyong Army, before the army pounces on them, they must carry out indiscriminate shelling.
This is the result of Zhou Yu’s repeated requests!
Following Wu Fengdian's order, the Zhongyong Army's large-caliber artillery first began to roar.
This time, the Zhongyong Army transported a total of 200 artillery pieces with a caliber of 152 mm or above 40 times. There were even countless other small-caliber artillery pieces.
These large and small-caliber artillery are all wheeled field artillery. Not only do they have a long shooting range, but their explosive power is also huge.
The collective roar of large-caliber artillery creates a scene that shakes the heavens and the earth and fills the sky with energy!
The artillery shells of the Zhongyong Army accurately hit the bullfighters' position. In the sky of gunfire and smoke, it is not an exaggeration to say that the corpses of the bullfighting soldiers were scattered all over the field and rivers of blood flowed.
The matadors could only stare blankly at the long-distance bombardment of the Zhongyong Army. The range of artillery fire was so different! They also wanted to fight back against the Zhongyong Army, but 'distance determines fate'! For them, shelling the Zhongyong Army was just a kind of
Extravagant hope!
The army field artillery shells carried by the Zhongyong Army this time are all high-power bombs. Among them, the shells also contain a large number of iron hinges, steel balls, etc., which have a wide radiation range.
After the war, the bullfighters who had the chance to escape had particularly deep memories of the thrilling Shura scene. Shortly after the war, the bullfighters quickly announced that they would withdraw from the Philippines and admit defeat, and these captive bullfighters
They were released and returned to the country.
After staying away from the battlefield, they often still replayed the scene in their minds, and nightmares accompanied them. For a long, long time, these matador colonists... The large-caliber field artillery of the Zhongyong Army continued to carry out attacks.
, after up to an hour of extended, see-saw bombardment, the roaring artillery finally slowly ended.
In a place filled with gunpowder smoke, the soldiers of the Zhongyong Army saw a ruined and dilapidated Manila city wall.
For the sake of safety, Wu Fengdian ordered the troops to move towards the city wall. When they reached about 500 meters of the city wall, Wu Fengdian again ordered all large and small caliber artillery to extend the bombardment.
This time the artillery struck deeper and wider.
When the loyal soldiers rushed into the city of Manila after the artillery fire stopped, what greeted them was not a hail of bullets, let alone a thrilling life-and-death struggle, but a letter of surrender presented by the bullfighter Governor of Manila.
The Matador Governor led his army to surrender!
Faced with an unequal battle, the Matador Governor's choice was extremely wise.
Although the soldiers of the Zhongyong Army felt a pity in their hearts, it was a pity that they could not enjoy the battle. However, in the face of such a result, they could only accept it with a smile!
When the loyal and brave soldiers watched the panoramic view of the Manila city wall, they deeply realized why the always arrogant and arrogant matador governor knelt down and begged for surrender like a third grandson!
There is a reason why he has to surrender! Facing the powerful Zhongyong Army Army, is it okay not to surrender?
