"The Chinese are coming?"

As soon as Lieutenant General Luis saw this, he struggled to express himself: "Soldiers, Pizarro is watching you, the time has come to recover the whole of the Philippines, we will enter Manila in seventy-two hours!" ”

He had forgotten that the entire landing had been going on for more than five hours, but most of his soldiers were still desperately paddling and struggling to the death on the water, but he knew one thing well.

That is, the squadron stationed in Batangas province is nothing more than a reinforced company, no, a battalion headquarters plus a direct subordinate team and a reinforced company, with a total strength of about 300 men, but he soon told the soldiers an exciting fact: "The squadron in Batangas is just a company, we have 4,200 of the most elite soldiers, and I believe you are the best, the whole team...... Get on the bayonet, we disperse these infidels! ”

In fact, this order made all the Spanish soldiers become orderly at once, although they came from different infantry battalions, infantry companies, infantry platoons, and some units were even composed of soldiers from six or seven different units, but Spain was an imperialist country after all, and no matter how decayed, it still retained a trace of imperialism.

"Pizarro is watching us, for God!"

The soldiers unconsciously cheered in Spanish, and they had already followed behind Lieutenant General Louis, who had been the first to go out, shouting: "For God's sake, kill all the infidels!" ”

"Nope! No! No! Lieutenant General Louis, who had been thinking about this for a long time, exclaimed: "Even the pagans, in a way, are God's people, and we must deal with these captives with a generous heart, and provide them with some facilities to allow them to convert to Christ......"

It's just that when he said this, there was already a dense burst of gunfire on the opposite side, and even the sound of cannonballs. Some of the officers asked puzzledly: "Isn't there only one company?" ”

According to Lieutenant General Louis, there was only one Chinese company in the entire Batangas province, but hearing this dense gunfire and artillery in front of him did not seem to be what a company could have, so Louis had to tell the truth: "It is the headquarters of an infantry battalion." With the addition of their direct team and a reinforced infantry company, rest assured, the total strength will not exceed three hundred......"

But at this time, a shell had already bombarded me, and the front was full of retreating Catholic guerrillas, who shouted loudly: "Chinese is coming, Chinese is coming...... A lot of Chinese! ”

The guerrillas are really unreliable! Lieutenant General Louis had to make such an exclamation. Originally thought that these Catholic guerrillas were equal to the Chinese in terms of strength, how could they hold back the Chinese for a while, how could they collapse as soon as they made contact, but after a closer look, he almost knelt down to the opposite squadron lineup!

This is a company?

O God, my God! How many Chinese are this, seeing the dense squadron, Lieutenant General Louis gritted his teeth and shouted: "Where is Father Jean?" Where is Father Jean? ”

Everyone wondered why Lieutenant General Louis was looking for Father Jean. Soon everyone learned the truth from the mouth of Lieutenant General Louis: "These are three hundred people in their mouths, and I am not blind!" This spy, spy. Traitor, even if I die, I'm going to shoot him! ”

Before he could finish his words, there was already a dense salvo of raindrops on the opposite side, and everywhere there were kneeling soldiers, shouting God everywhere, and Louis was still angrily shouting: "These are three hundred!" ”

The conscience of heaven and earth, these Catholic guerrillas had repeatedly stated to him that there were only three hundred Chinese soldiers, but in the field of vision of Lieutenant General Louis, there were Chinese wearing black uniforms everywhere. They even brought a lot of artillery with them. …,

The leader of a Catholic guerrilla unit desperately ran to Lieutenant General Louis and said: "The latest information, the latest information...... The Chinese transferred their Marine Corps mobile regiment to Batangas, it was their mobile regiment! ”

Marine Brigade Mobile Regiment, what bad news!

You must know that this mobile regiment is the only mobile force in the entire Philippine squadron, and it is also the strongest infantry regiment in the squadron. There is even this infantry battalion stationed in Batangas in its entirety.

The four infantry battalions, together with the attached artillery, immediately pressed towards the landing field, all the Spaniards were pinned down on the beach, and with every shell coming down, a shouting could be heard, and Lieutenant General Louis clasped the hand of the leader of the Catholic partisans who had come to report the news, and asked cordially: "Thank you for telling me this bad news, tell me, what is your name?" My friend."

"I'm Father Jean!"

But before the missionary could finish speaking, Lieutenant General Louis 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 misreported the news Jean, a shot hit the temple directly, and Lieutenant General Louis scolded in his heart: "Bastard, who told you to bring such bad news, so whether you are the Jean or not, please die!" ”

Blood gushed out, and Lieutenant General Louis grabbed Father Jean's collar and shouted: "Anyone who runs backwards will end up like this, soldiers, officers, remember Pizarro, rush forward!" Impact! ”

Thousands of Spanish officers and soldiers were completely suppressed on the beach by the fire of the rainbow army, they could not 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 had been forced to the beach, and some soldiers held their heads and shouted: "God forbid!" ”

This is really the worst-case scenario, the whole army on land is almost fighting on their backs, the rainbow army is suppressed from all directions of the landing field, theoretically they have only four infantry battalions, less than 4,200 Spanish soldiers, but in reality there are only more than 1,000 on land, and more than 1,000 are still paddling desperately on the water, and they are now even scooping their rifles and firing at the rainbow troops on the shore on the shaking boats.

The beach was full of screams, moans, and weeping, until Lieutenant General Louis decisively shot Father Jean, and then all the soldiers and officers saw His Excellency the Lieutenant General shouting like a man of God: "Assault, assault, bayonet!" ”

"Get on the bayonet!"

"Assault!"

"Assault of the whole army!"

The morale of the Spaniards was immediately uplifted, and although they were exhausted, although they came from different formed units, and they did not even have a unified command, they were now rushing up with bayonets or shovels under the spontaneous leadership of several officers: "For Your Majesty Isabella! ”

"For God!"

"For Spain!"

"To get home!"

"Mom!"

The shouts of the soldiers were different, but they ignored the salvo of the rainbow rifles, braved the bombardment of solid bullets, and rushed forward again and again, the rainbow army obviously did not see that the enemy troops who had been completely suppressed actually had such courage, and were caught off guard, and before they could react, they saw that the Spanish soldiers had taken away two key positions, and even a mountain howitzer.

But this also aroused the bloody nature of the officers and soldiers of the rainbow, and the soldiers of the mobile regiment considered themselves to be the best fighters in the entire Philippines, and on the way to retreat, a squad leader shouted: "Take back our honor, our mobile regiment has never lost a cannon!" ”

With such shouts, dozens of defeated soldiers who retreated did not even reorganize the formation, and directly killed back: "For honor!" ”…,

The focus of the contention between the two sides became the mountain howitzer, hundreds of soldiers fought to the death around this mountain howitzer, some fired the bullet in the chamber, and then rushed up with a bayonet to stab an enemy, and soon was knocked down by the enemy, and then two people fought desperately on the ground, and more soldiers around them pounced and fell on them, but they still started a fight to the death.

The battle became more and more fierce, and the rainbow army soon launched counterattacks from all directions, and the most painful thing for the Spaniards was that the rainbow army brought at least 20 artillery pieces, and their artillery caused great damage to the Spaniards on the beach every time they fired, but the Spaniards did not even have a single normal artillery.

Although there was a huge fleet of Spaniards at sea, the battle between the two sides had reached the level of a white soldier, and the Spanish naval guns did not dare to open fire at all, so they could only fire several rounds of shells from a distance, one of which hit the battalion headquarters of the second battalion of the mobile regiment, and seven people below the battalion commander were killed and 26 wounded on the spot, and the rest of the blind shelling also achieved sporadic results.

But for the infantry to fight, they could not provide any situational fire support, on the contrary, as the fighting intensified after nightfall, the morale of the Spaniards also fell again, and they were now surrounded by unfamiliar comrades and commanders, lacking trust and familiarity with each other, and the increasing casualties caused many units to collapse.

The intensity of the battle suddenly eased considerably, and a Spanish-speaking indigenous Filipino man waved a white flag, nimbly crossed the line of fire, and shouted: "I am General Lin Mengchu's military envoy, I am General Lin Mengchu's military envoy!" ”

The bullet passed right behind him, but he still entered the position of the Spaniards, and then exclaimed: "I want to see Lieutenant General Louis, where is Lieutenant General Louis......"

In fact, now these Spaniards do not know where Lieutenant General Luis is, they have lost contact with their superiors, so they cry out: "Where is Lieutenant General Luis?" The military envoys of the Chinese want to see him! ”

Half an hour later, the envoy finally met Lieutenant General Louis: "I am entrusted by Governor Lin Mengchu to hope that your army can lay down its arms and end the battle with honor!" ”
