Chapter 579: "Yue's Army"
The remaining five Wuzhi-9 helicopters continued to mend the swords against the Citadel of Santiago, and the 36 HF-25 rocket launchers equipped on each Wuzhi-9 helicopter launched a fierce attack on the Citadel of Santiago.
With the hovering and bombing of the Wuzhi-9 helicopter, the San Diego castle finally collapsed, which was the first battle of the Wuzhi-9 helicopter with live ammunition, so the fixed target was chosen.
After the collapse of the castle of Santiago, the Tiance army stopped shelling, and a battalion was ordered to enter the fort to search for the remnants of the enemy, in fact, all the Spanish soldiers in the fort had been killed, and it was difficult for anyone to survive under such a violent explosion.
"The castle of San Diego is finished." Blanco's eyes were full of horror, the Ming people were too fierce, and in less than thirty minutes, they directly bulldozed the majestic castle of Santiago.
"Your Excellency the Governor, let's run, as a soldier, I must remind you that staying in Manila is waiting for death, and we can't stop the artillery fire of the Ming people." Lieutenant Colonel Balder was completely frightened, especially since the enemy still had weapons flying in the sky, which was completely beyond his knowledge.
"How to escape? Can we still escape? Manila is already surrounded. "That's right, at the time of the shelling of the San Diego Castle, the Tiance Army had already completed the siege of the royal city of Manila.
Now Blanco has no time to choose, after the collapse of the San Diego Citadel, the 155 self-propelled howitzer has turned its muzzle and began to shell Manila.
Amid the roar of artillery, grenades hit the walls, batteries and towers of Manila City with a whistling sound, and each explosion brought great damage and countless casualties. With the explosion point as the center, there are almost no people or animals within a radius of 50 meters, and shrapnel within a radius of 100 meters is either killed or injured.
The Spaniards on the city wall were tragic, both professional soldiers and improvised militiamen were torn apart in the explosion, and even a hundred meters away from the explosion site, the shock wave of the explosion still lifted the people on the city wall under the city wall. Where have the Spaniards, accustomed to the Bronze Cannon War, seen this? After more than a minute of shelling, there was almost no one on the city wall, and it seemed that no one was stupid.
Self-propelled howitzers continued to shell the batteries and gates on the city walls, which disappeared with a huge explosion.
Then more than 100 mortars also joined the shelling, and the mortars carried out indiscriminate coverage shelling of the Royal City of Manila, and a Wuzhi-9 helicopter hovered over the Royal City of Manila to provide coordinates for the shelling, and the mortar shells were like eyes, so that the people in the city had nowhere to hide. It is understood that there are almost no Chinese in the Intramuros of Manila, only Spaniards and a large number of Filipino maids.
"You guys are Chinese drips working?" Takuya Kimura glared fiercely at Li Guosuke in front of him, and his eyes should have swept over the crowd of Chinese with various weapons not far away.
Li Guozhu did not expect the progress of the Tiance Army to be so fast, it has only been more than two hours since the Tiance Army launched its attack, the indigenous servant army has collapsed, the San Diego Castle has collapsed, and Manila has been surrounded and shelled.
The Chinese in Jiannei were temporarily spontaneously armed, and their combat effectiveness and mobilization power could not be compared with the regular army, so Li Guozhu's intention was to take advantage of the Spaniards' unpreparedness to give them a cold meal to cope with the military operations of the Tiance army, but the progress of the Tiance army was too fast, and before they could act, the royal city of Manila was already under fire.
The Chinese in Jianuchi, who were anxious to express their expression, sent a few contacts in the direction of the Tiance Army, but they were confronted by the Japanese mercenaries of Takuya Kimura, who were outflanked.
looked at the two people lying in a pool of blood not far away, they were the two men of the Li family, they were sent by Li Guozhu to contact the Tiance Army, but they were mistakenly killed by the Japanese.
"My name is Li Guozhu, we are Chinese who have settled in Manila, I heard that your army is going to deal with those hateful Spaniards and want to help your army, but I didn't expect such a misunderstanding."
Li Guozhu was angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to show his face again. How can it be Japanese? Li Guozhu is a little confused, so is his judgment wrong? What kind of virtue is the Japanese, he knows in his heart that his father has been in Japan for many years, and the cruelty and ruthlessness of the Japanese are notoriously known, so he has to endure it.
Takuya Kimura speaks Chinese quite well, which is one of the reasons why Amakusa Tokisada sent him.
His gaze softened a lot, and he said: "The Chinese are all our friends, Li Sang is a great good citizen, and this king apologizes to you for the misunderstanding just now." ”
Saying that, he bowed to Li Guozhu, although he believed in God, he was not stupid. In the past, he had only heard about how the Tiance Army was like it, and it was better to hear about it than to see it in person, but today he really saw the combat effectiveness of the Tiance Army, and he knew that it was an existence that he couldn't provoke at all.
Li Guozhu also clasped his fists and saluted: "This general doesn't have to be like this, since it is a misunderstanding, we will reveal it." "These Japanese soldiers are well-equipped, the bayonets are bright, they don't look like they are like their peers, I didn't expect this seemingly vicious leader to be so polite, and he calls himself the king, Li Guozhu really can't remember what kings there are in Japan, could it be that the person in front of him is the emperor's brother?
"Yo Xi, what Li Sang said is extremely true." Takuya Kimura also hopes that big things will be small, and he has not forgotten Wang Yue's advice: "But we soldiers must take due responsibility for this." ”
Saying that, Takuya Kimura glared at his subordinates viciously and said, "Whoever killed those two Chinese by mistake just now will stand up for this king." ”
Two rebel soldiers stood up and explained, "Your Royal Highness King Rong, these Chinese are very similar to those natives, and we made a mistake in judgment for a while. ”
"This king once warned you, keep your eyes bright, and don't hurt the Chinese by mistake." Takuya Kimura said, "Since you have admitted your mistakes, please seppuku." ”
"Ah, His Royal Highness King Rong......!" The two volunteer soldiers were stunned and hurriedly said.
"Shut up, now you can choose a decent way to die, otherwise this king will have to enforce military discipline." Takuya Kimura shouted at their defenses.
Li Guozhu understands Japanese, he doesn't believe his ears a little, what's wrong, the arrogant and domineering Japanese have changed their temperament and want to learn from Yue Jiajun's style?
"This general, it doesn't have to be like this, right? This may be a real misunderstanding. Li Guosuke said to Takuya Kimura in Japanese. The Japanese are brutal and can't be used for common sense, this may be a spear played by Takuya Kimura, and after the execution of these two soldiers, he may have to vent his anger on his own people.
"Yo Xi Yo Xi, Li Sang actually understands Japanese, but they must take responsibility for their mistakes, please don't ask."
Takuya Kimura looked at the two soldiers coldly and said, "Seppuku." ”
