When Velaire woke up from the doctor's emergency rescue, it was already half an hour later, he pushed away the sweaty doctor, and panted and said to the attendants standing on the left and right: "Hurry up and order the Third Army to immediately go out and set up a position in Dinalupihan to prevent the enemy from approaching Manila!" ”

"And what about our Second Army?"

Velaire's brain was not yet confused, and he shook his head: "The Second Army continues to stay in Manila to defend against the possible landing of the enemy from the south of Manila Bay!" ”

"Yes!" The attendant said yes and turned away.

"Wait!" Velaire stretched out his hand and asked, "Have we been in contact with Her Majesty the Queen or the Prime Minister?" ”

This is one of the things that Velaier cares about the most.

But what the attendant said disappointed him greatly: "There is no contact, our submarine cable telegraph communication has been cut off by the enemy!" Since the defeat of the Luzon fleet, sea communication has also been cut off! ”

Completely cut off from Spain, Velaire knew that the situation in Luzon was already in danger, but he still had a fantasy in his heart: to repel the Chinese army with his army!

But Hu Zhen, the commander of the Huaxia Army, would not give Willier this chance at all!

The 150,000 Chinese army on the north side of Manila Bay, under the command of the commander-in-chief Ouyang Yu, swept Subic Bay, rushed eastward, took Orani and Hermosa, and before the Luzon Third Army arrived, occupied Dina Lupihan, advanced to Florida Blanca, Lubao, and completely disrupted Velier's plan to stabilize the defensive position at Dinalupihan.

Willier had no choice but to order the Third Army to quickly retreat to the line between Ángeles and San Fernando to regroup its defensive positions and secure the northern side of Manila.

However, after the Huaxia Army successfully landed on the north side of Manila Bay, it launched a large-scale landing operation on the south side.

After half an hour of heavy bombardment by the Huaxia fleet, more than 5,000 marines and special combat soldiers did not expend much effort and successfully landed on a beachhead between Binubsang and Li'an on the south side of Manila Bay, seized a landing ground of about 10 kilometers, and covered the 150,000 troops that followed up to rush to the landing ground in a steady stream.

The army of the southern route, under the command of Liang Kunri, captured Binubsang, Li'an, and Barayaan. Advance sharply to Nasugbu, Ternat, Maragondon, Naik, etc., advance to Cavite, and outflank Manila from the south.

The Chinese Army successfully landed on the north and south sides of Manila Bay. A large pincer offensive was formed against Manila, the center of Spanish colonial rule in the Luzon Islands, and the attack was launched on the north and south sides at the same time.

The colonial government of Luzon, which had lost its ties with the Spanish mainland, was thrown into a panic.

Although the governor of Luzon, Willaire, was a general of the army, and he fought for the Kingdom of Spain in the colonies around the world for more than 40 years, and his actual combat experience is not trivial. Under his organization, the staff team of the Governor's Palace quickly came up with a combat plan to deal with it:

The defenders of the southern route should not be entangled with the Huaxia army, and retreated in the direction of Cavite, the main force of the Luzon Second Army and other army forces that could be mobilized were all concentrated on the front line of Cavite to ambush, and even the two battleships of the Luzon fleet and the remaining cruisers were also concentrated in Cavite, preparing to coordinate on both sides of the sea and land, and deal a heavy blow to the Huaxia Army on the southern route, crippling and smashing it, and then turning back to meet the northern route army of the Huaxia Army.

The history of the wars of the great powers of Europe. Most of the battles between the two sides are hedged by military force, and the stronger one wins, and rarely uses deception to lure the enemy into the trap.

However, Willaire was frightened by Hu Zhen, who used Hu Zhen's tactics in the retreat of the landing operation on the north side of Manila to lead the Luzon First Army into an ambush circle and attack him.

It's just that since Hu Zhen has used such a trick, how could he not see that this is Willier's drag-knife plan, and he is ready to have a way to crack it?

After searching back and forth twice at several enemy hubs, the nuclear submarine unmanned aerial vehicle found signs of a large-scale covert ambush by the Spanish army in Cavite.

"Hmph, this Willaire. I'm seventy or eighty years old, but I'm still learning fast! We have used the deception of our ancestors! Hu Zhen snorted coldly and looked at the map, thought for a while, and asked the intelligence staff officer beside him: "How is the enemy's Tadpole Island fort defense now!" ”

Due to the vast expanse of hell in Luzon. The unmanned aerial vehicles of the nuclear submarine can only search the area designated by Hu Zhen, and do not have enough resources to conduct real-time monitoring of secondary places, and the battery on Tadpole Island can only be handed over to the navy to send ships to monitor it.

The intelligence staff officers gathered up the information reported by various units every day, and they were already familiar with the changes in the enemy's situation in various places. Respectfully saluted and replied: "Report to the commander-in-chief, during the sea battle, the number of enemy troops on Tadpole Island was crowded with more than 10,000 people, and now that our army has successfully landed on the north and south sides of Manila Bay, the importance of the Tadpole Island battery has greatly decreased, and the enemy's strength has been stretched, and our monitors have found that the defenders of Tadpole Island have been transferred to other places to defend, and the number has been reduced by at least half." ”

"Very good, continue to order the navy to continue to observe the situation on Tadpole Island, and if there is any change, report to me immediately!" Hu Zhen was determined to immediately mobilize the unmanned aerial vehicles of the nuclear submarine to fly over Tadpole Island to observe and take the Tadpole Island fort as soon as possible.

The unmanned aerial vehicle of the nuclear submarine went to the sky above Tadpole Island and found that the situation was just as reported by the naval monitors: there were only more than 4,000 enemy troops defending the three island batteries!

Hu Zhen knew that this was a great opportunity to capture the Tadpole Island fort and let the Huaxia Army fleet rush into Manila Bay to annihilate the remnants of the Luzon fleet!

"Ma Shaohao, they have been watching other people eat meat and drink wine in large bowls these days, I'm afraid that grass is about to grow in their hearts, it's time to pull them out to practice!"

Hu Zhen ridiculed these subordinates who were eager to fight for merit, and then resolutely ordered: "Order Ma Shaohao and them, and they will go out tonight to take down the Tadpole Island Fort!" ”

When the order was transmitted to the special combat team, the special combat team members who had been holding their breath for a long time cheered and jumped for joy, and Ma Shaohao, who had been frowning sadly, finally laughed: "The commander-in-chief has long said that our special combat team will be used at the most critical time, and we will be ready to set off immediately, and before sunrise tomorrow, we must take the Tadpole Island Battery, so that our large fleet can rush into Manila Bay unimpeded and destroy the Nipan ghosts!" ”

That night, the battle for Tadpole Island began. (To be continued.) )
