    "The Chinese are coming?"

    When Lieutenant General Lewis saw this sentence, he struggled to express himself: "Soldiers, Pizarro is watching you. The time has come to regain the entire Philippines. We will enter within seventy-two hours."  Manila!"

    He had forgotten that the entire landing operation had been going on for more than five hours, but most of his soldiers were still paddling desperately on the water and fighting against the waves, but he knew one fact clearly.

    That is, the Chinese ** team stationed in Batangas Province is just a reinforced company. No, it is a battalion headquarters plus a directly affiliated team and a reinforced company. The total strength is about 300 people. But he quickly told the soldiers that  Exciting fact: "The Batangas Squadron is just a company. We have 4,200 of the most elite soldiers. I believe you are the best. The whole team fix your bayonets and we will drive away these aliens."  Believer!"

    In fact, this order suddenly brought order to all Spanish soldiers, although they came from different infantry battalions, infantry companies, and infantry platoons. Some units were even composed of soldiers from six or seven different organic units.  , but Spain is an imperialist country after all. No matter how it declines, it still retains some traces of imperialism.

    ¡°Pizarro is watching us, for God¡¯s sake!¡±

    The soldiers cheered unconsciously in Spanish. They had followed Lieutenant General Louis, who was the first to go out, and shouted: "For the sake of God, kill all the infidels!"

    "No! No! No!" Lieutenant General Lewis had been thinking about this issue for a long time, and he said loudly: "Even the pagans, to a certain extent, they are God's people, and we must deal with them with a lenient attitude.  captives, provide them with some facilities, and allow them to convert to Christianity¡­¡±

    But when I just said this, there was already intensive gunfire from the opposite side, and even the sound of artillery.  Some officers asked in confusion: "Isn't there only one company?"

    According to Lieutenant General Lewis, there is only one Chinese company in the entire Batangas Province. However, the dense gunfire and artillery fire heard in front of him did not seem to be owned by one company, so Lewis had to say  Here comes the truth: "It is the headquarters of an infantry battalion. Including their direct teams and a reinforced infantry company, don't worry, the total strength will not exceed 300 people"

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? An artillery shell has been bombarded, and the retreating Catholic guerrillas are everywhere in front. They shouted loudly: "The Chinese are coming, the Chinese are coming a lot of Chinese!"

    The guerrillas are really unreliable!  Lieutenant General Lewis had to sigh like this.  I originally thought that these Catholic guerrillas were equal in strength to the Chinese. How could they hold the Chinese back for a while, and how could they collapse as soon as they came into contact? But when he took a closer look, he almost defeated the Chinese guerrillas on the opposite side.  Kneel down!

    This is a company?

    God, my God!  How many Chinese are these? Seeing the densely packed squadron, Lieutenant General Lewis gritted his teeth and shouted loudly: "Where is Father Jean? Where is Father Jean?"

    Everyone is curious why Lieutenant General Louis is looking for Father Jean.  Soon everyone learned the truth from Lieutenant General Louis: "These are the three hundred people they talked about. I am not blind yet! This spy, spy. Traitor, even if I die, I will shoot him!"  "

    Before he could finish his words, there was already a heavy volley of raindrops from the opposite side. There were soldiers kneeling on the ground everywhere, shouting God everywhere. Louis was still shouting angrily: "These are three hundred people!"

    Conscience of heaven and earth, these Catholic guerrillas have repeatedly stated to him that there are only 300 Chinese soldiers, but in Lieutenant General Lewis's field of vision, there are Chinese people wearing green military uniforms everywhere.  They even brought some artillery.

    A leader of the Catholic guerrillas ran desperately to Lieutenant General Lewis and said: "The latest intelligence, the latest intelligence The Chinese have transferred their Marine Mobile Group to Batangas. It is their mobile group!"

    Marine Brigade Mobile Regiment, what a bad news!

    You must know that this mobile regiment is the only mobile force of the entire Philippine Chinese ***, and it is also the strongest infantry regiment of the Chinese ***. It seems that the entire infantry regiment is dispatched on the opposite side.  There was even this entire infantry battalion stationed in Batangas.

    Four infantry battalions and the attached artillery immediately pressed towards the landing site. All the Spaniards were suppressed on the beach. Every time a shell was fired, the screams could be heard. Lieutenant General Louis held tightly the man who came to report the news.  The leader of the Catholic guerrillas held the hand and asked kindly: "Thank you for telling me this bad news. Tell me, what is your name? My friend"

    "I am Father Jean!"

     But before the missionary finished speaking, Lieutenant General Lewis had already pulled out his revolver and pulled the trigger twice on the priest's head: "So, please die!"

    Regardless of whether this priest was the one who misrepresented the news, Lieutenant General Lewis cursed in his heart: "Bastard, who asked you to deliver such bad news? So, regardless of whether you are the one who sent the news, please go."  die!"

    Blood spurted out, and Lieutenant General Louis grabbed Father Jean by the collar and shouted loudly: "Anyone who runs backwards will suffer this fate. Soldiers and officers, please remember Pizarro, charge forward! Charge!"

    Thousands of Spanish officers and soldiers were completely suppressed on the beach by the Hongjun's firepower. They couldn't even find a bunker. Some soldiers could only use the fine sand on the beach and their hands to build an impossible line of defense.  Some soldiers have been forced to the beach, and some soldiers hugged their heads and shouted: "God bless!"

    This is really the worst-case scenario. The entire army on land is almost fighting with their backs against the water. The Hong Army suppressed them from all directions of the landing site. Theoretically, they only have four infantry battalions, less than 4,200 Spanish soldiers.  soldiers, but in fact there are only more than a thousand on land, and more than a thousand are still paddling desperately on the water. It is almost impossible for them to carry out rifles on the swaying small boats against the Hong Kong Army on the shore.  Hitting shots.

    The beach was full of screams, groans, and cries until Lieutenant General Louis decisively shot Father Jean to death. Then all the soldiers and officers saw the Lieutenant General shouting orders like a god: "  Charge, charge, bayonets fixed!¡±

    "Fire the bayonet!"

    "Assault!"

    "The whole army attacks!"

    The morale of the Spaniards suddenly lifted. Although they were exhausted, although they came from different organized units, they did not even have unified command. Now they were led by several officers spontaneously, holding bayonets or shovels.  Rushed up: "For Your Majesty Isabella!"

    "For God!"

    ¡°For Spain!¡±

    ¡°To go home!¡±

    "Mother!"

    The soldiers' shouts were different, but they ignored the volleys from the Hong Army's rifles, braved the bombardment of solid bullets, and rushed forward again and again. The Hong Army obviously did not see the enemy troops that had been suppressed.  He actually had such courage and was caught off guard. Before he could react, he saw Spanish soldiers taking away two key positions and even a mountain howitzer.

    But this also aroused the blood of the soldiers of the Hong Kong Army. The soldiers of the mobile regiment thought that they were the best soldiers in the entire Philippines. On the way to the forced retreat, a squad leader shouted: "Take back our honor, we mobile  The regiment has never lost a cannon!¡±

    With such shouts, dozens of soldiers who had retreated came back without even reorganizing their organization: "For honor!"

    The focus of the competition between the two sides became the mountain howitzer. Hundreds of soldiers fought to the death around the mountain howitzer. Someone fired the bullet in the barrel, and then rushed up with a bayonet to stab an enemy.  They were soon knocked down by the enemy again, and then the two of them fought desperately on the ground. More soldiers continued to plop down on them, but they still fought tooth and nail.

    The battle became more and more intense, and the Hong Army soon launched counterattacks from all directions. What caused the most pain to the Spaniards was that the Hong Army brought at least more than 20 artillery pieces. Every time their artillery fired, it hit the Spaniards on the beach.  It caused a lot of damage, but the Spaniards didn't even have a functioning artillery piece.

    Although there was a huge Spanish fleet at sea, the battle between the two sides had reached a point where the white soldiers were close to each other. The Spanish naval guns did not dare to fire at all. They could only fire several rounds of shells from a distance, and one of the shells hit the target.  Entering the headquarters of the Second Battalion of the Mobile Regiment, seven people below the battalion commander were killed on the spot, and 26 people were injured. The rest of the blind bombardment also achieved sporadic results.

    But for infantry battles, they cannot provide fire support in any situation. On the contrary, as night falls, the fighting becomes more intense and the Spanish morale drops again. They are now surrounded by unfamiliar comrades and commanders.  Officers lack trust and familiarity with each other, and the increasing casualties have caused many units to collapse.

    The intensity of the battle suddenly eased greatly. A Spanish-speaking Filipino native waved a white flag, nimbly crossed the line of fire, and shouted loudly: "I am the military envoy of General Lin Mengchu, I am the military envoy of General Lin Mengchu!"  "

    The bullet passed behind him, but he still entered the Spanish position, and then said loudly: "I want to see Louis""Lieutenant General, where is Lieutenant General Lewis"

    In fact, these Spaniards don¡¯t know where Lieutenant General Luis is now. They have lost contact with their superiors, so they shouted: ¡°Where is Lieutenant General Luis? The Chinese military envoy wants to see him!¡±

    Half an hour later, the military envoy finally met Lieutenant General Lewis: "I was entrusted by Governor Lin Mengchu. I hope your army can lay down its weapons and end the battle with honor!"

    PS: I still have something to do today, I will update as usual tomorrow (to be continued)
