Bonifashow, who was not aware that he had fallen into a trap, stood proudly on the wall of Fort Santiago, overlooking his own Manila. The revolutionaries were liquidating the colonial minions in this city. Although the Spaniards ran away
But those Filipinos who cooperated with them can't run away. These guys, relying on the support of their masters behind them, have taxed and levied excessively over the years. They have eaten their fill and ignored their compatriots who are struggling in hunger and cold. They should be made to pay today.
It's a price.
"Everything here is ours, their property is ours, their women are ours, and their lives are ours. The proletarian revolutionaries will let these Filipino sinners pay the debt they owe.
When the time comes, use their property, use their women, and use their lives to repay!" Like a king who dominates the world, Bonifa shows up at the carnival-like revolutionaries in the city where the flames are soaring.
roared.
As if hearing his voice, countless landowners, wealthy businessmen, and officials were dragged out of their homes. Amidst their painful pleas, sword flashes flashed and heads rolled down one by one, not far from them.
, their wives and daughters are being ravaged by countless people, watching them die with desperate eyes. The streets are full of monkeys holding various belongings in their arms, and there are also people carrying struggling women. This is a scene.
It was a gluttonous feast, and all the desires were vented at this moment.
"Isn't this not good?" Jacinto, a close comrade standing next to Bonifa Show, swallowed and said cautiously. As Bonifa Show's authority grew stronger, he was now in front of this former brother.
They no longer dare to speak loudly.
"This is revolution. Revolution is not a dinner party. Revolution does not require warmth. Revolution is a complete liquidation of the old forces. Or we can understand the word more simply and use its original meaning, killing!" Bonifaxiu said proudly.
He said, still holding Nechayev's Revolutionary Bible in his hand, he was now completely conquered by this great book.
After he said this, he suddenly found that his close comrade-in-arms was staring behind him as if he was stupid.
"Comrade Jacinto, are you listening to me?" Bonifaxiu shouted angrily, and then Jacinto, who should have apologized to him quickly, ignored him at all. Bonifa showed that his authority was being challenged.
Xiu was about to roar at him. Suddenly he found that everyone on the city wall was looking behind him as if he was stupid. He quickly turned around, and then he was also stupid.
Dozens of majestic giant ships on the sea were slowly approaching. Compared with these sea monsters, those Spanish warships that had once frightened them were like children's toys, especially the first three ships, which were so big.
It is jaw-dropping, and of course what is even more jaw-dropping is the Russian naval flag flying on the masts of these warships.
"Get ready to meet the enemy!" Bonifaxiu screamed with a trembling voice. What should we use to meet the enemy? The Spaniards left the castle to them, but it was an empty castle, not to mention the property.
. Even those coastal defense guns have been dismantled. Those that cannot be dismantled are simply stuffed with explosives and blown up. Of course, even if they are not blown up, there will be no shells left. In Bonifashow's hands, even the Army
There are no cannons on the body. The only artillery is the 82 mortar. You can't use this thing to bomb those first-class battleships, right?
Just when he finished shouting these words, the Russian Far East Fleet at sea began to adjust its formation into a battle formation. Bonifashow of Fort Santiago and his revolutionaries did not know what was going to happen next, and they went crazy one by one.
Escape from the city wall and find a hiding place in the castle. Fortunately, this castle is designed to defend against this thing, so it is not difficult to hide.
It's a pity that they are hiding. The revolutionaries who are reveling in the streets have no place to hide. Many of them don't even know that death has come. It is really difficult to make those guys who are having fun with women pay attention to other things, right here.
At that time, the Russian fleet, which had formed a battle line on the sea, began to bombard. Hundreds of cannons on more than 30 battleships and cruisers roared almost simultaneously. Countless large-caliber shells flew towards Manila with a roar of death. This city
The city and everything in the city were instantly engulfed in the flames of the explosion.
Huge fireballs rose densely one after another, and the loud noise like the earth was shattering was non-stop. Pillars of smoke rose slowly into the sky, and fragments of the blown-up buildings flew into the sky. Countless people also flew into the sky.
The human body was broken into pieces, and the monkeys who were enjoying the joy of success in heaven fell instantly to hell. Everyone was stunned and looked at the sea of fire around them as if they were stupid. The women under them laughed hysterically one by one, and the next moment a cannonball was fired.
Then he tore them into pieces.
The monkeys who woke up screamed and looked for a hiding place in a panic. Unfortunately, in the face of this overwhelming artillery fire, where could they hide? 305mm high-explosive bombs filled with nitrocellulose, let alone those ordinary buildings,
Even the ten-meter-thick walls of Fort Santiago were blown to pieces. The terrifying power could kill people dozens of meters away. Hundreds of thousands of Filipino revolutionaries gathered in the city to revel, which invisibly amplified the bombardment.
As a result, you can see huge blank spaces appearing one after another in the dense crowd after the explosion.
The frightened monkeys couldn't care about anything else at this time, and they all ran like crazy to escape from this hell. Together with the original residents of the city, hundreds of thousands of people poured out of the city like a tide, even if
The shells that kept exploding could not stop them. Unfortunately, what they didn't know was that there was also hell outside the city, where 50,000 Russian troops were waiting for them.
When those lucky ones escaped from the range of artillery fire and panted and rejoiced that they had escaped, they were shocked to find that there were countless black holes on the opposite side of the gun muzzle.
"We have built a super meat grinder." Sitting in the command tower of the battleship Alexander II, Admiral Kuropatkin said reservedly while holding a telescope and looking at the city of Manila that was flooded by artillery fire.
Of course, he was not prepared to rely on artillery shells to solve this city. The cost would be too high. He only needed to completely surround the place and prevent the monkeys from running out. When the Spaniards left, they did not leave any space for the monkeys.
If there is a grain of grain, it is estimated that if the siege lasts for a week, the monkeys will have to eat themselves. If the siege lasts for a month, even Bonifa Xiu will probably starve to death. Why not use such a cheap method? Rented transport from Fuzhou
Warships are transporting the third batch of reinforcements from Japan. Seventy thousand Russian troops are enough to conquer Luzon Island. He is very confident about this. He should add a Filipino conqueror to his crown of Japanese conqueror.
His Excellency the Admiral was very happy when he thought of this.
He was happy. Bonifa Xiu in Fort Santiago just wanted to cry. At this time, he was huddled in a corner under the city wall, holding his head and listening to the huge explosions around him. From time to time, there would be
The blown human body fragments fell in front of us, and we didn’t know which revolutionary comrade they belonged to.
He knew very well what kind of miserable situation Manila would be in after the bombardment. Such powerful artillery was simply unheard of. Hundreds of people could be killed by such a bombardment, not to mention that most of his men were outside the castle.
There wasn't even a hiding place there. As for the houses, they could be used as tombs. He was just thinking about it when the bombardment finally stopped.
It lasted for a full hour.
The frightened Bonifaxiu finally stood up after ten minutes. When he climbed up the city wall next to him and looked around again, he saw that the city that had given him unlimited pride not long ago had turned into ruins.
The fire was still burning in the smoke, and the huge craters between the collapsed buildings were shocking. The craters were surrounded by densely packed corpses. Countless mutilated corpses covered the entire city. He looked at this scene in despair, until
I was awakened by the intensive gunshots in the distance.
Bonifaxiu raised his head blankly. Countless compatriots were crying and rushing towards the city that had become ruins. Among them, fireballs from the explosion of small-caliber artillery shells rose from time to time. The crowd at the back was in a panic.
The piece fell down, and when I looked into the distance, I could vaguely see the flag of the Russian army waving.
Bonifaxiu finally understood that Ye Anping's advice to him before leaving was true. This was a trap prepared for his 100,000 troops. Unfortunately, it was too late when he understood this. All his troops
They have been completely surrounded in this city with no food, no ammunition, and even no reinforcements. In front of them are 50,000 invaders armed to the teeth, and behind them is a huge fleet with no way to go from heaven to earth.
He could only wait desperately for death. At this moment, Bonifacio felt a bone-chilling coldness. He didn't know why he suddenly thought of Aguinaldo. Was he laughing at his own stupidity?
What he didn't know was that Aguinaldo had no time to laugh at him. At this time, the President was also suffering from fear. While the Russian army surrounded Manila, the German army also launched a surprise attack on him. Although because of Wang Jingzong's
He was fully prepared for the intelligence, but facing the 20,000 German Army, which far exceeded them in terms of equipment and quality, his men still quickly collapsed. Compared with their old rivals, the Spaniards, this
The combat effectiveness of this army is much stronger. The combat effectiveness of the German Far East Army, which has experienced the Battle of Tokyo and the clearing of Kyushu Island, can be said to be unparalleled in the entire Asia. Even Yang Feng admitted this, and he was even prepared to let him surrender someday.
His subordinates engaged in confrontation training with the German army to improve their skills. (To be continued...)
