Chapter 214: The Flames of War Begin

While Lokat and the Filipino soldiers were in despair, the militants did not stop their movements because of their hesitation and despair. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The T72's 125mm smoothbore gun turned its muzzle at a speed visible to the naked eye, and whenever the muzzle was aimed at the Filipino soldiers in front, it immediately caused a commotion, and the soldiers who were targeted scattered in all directions, trying to dodge and run.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, don't get in my way!"

"Get out of the way!"

"Get out of here!"

The scene was chaotic, and the demonstrators who were still stranded around them also swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and looked at the big guy in front of them, not knowing what to do at all.

"Hurry up and get out of here, this place is about to become a battlefield, we are the Palawan Free Army, fighting for freedom!" An armed man walked past the crowd and shouted a shouting reminder to disperse.

This move made them immediately win the favor of some people, the surrounding crowd looked at them gratefully, and immediately ran away, looking back from time to time, although they didn't know what this Palawan Free Army meant, but they could feel that there was no malice towards them.

Of course, the citizens of Puerto Princesa did not feel malice, because the soldiers of the Palawan Free Army were warned by their captain before setting off that it was strictly forbidden to harm civilians, they were freedom fighters, fighting for independence, not terrorists.

This is also an order given by Lin Qing, after all, Lin Qing intends to build Palawan into his base camp, not to sack the city, and he is now thinking about the things after solving the Philippine government, such as how to win the support of the citizens of Palawan, what kind of government to set up, and so on.

Under the warnings of the captains of the lower ranks of the Palawan Free Army, these militants temporarily showed a certain military style, and did not make any harm or offensive actions to any civilians, which was in obvious contrast with the behavior of the Philippine government troops just now, and made many people feel good intentions towards them.

The presence of Palawan Free Army fighters in front of the police station is not the only one in Puerto Princesa.

Outside the Puerto Princesa City office building in the distance.

The crowd at the gate has dropped to less than 500 people, and most of them have gone back to their homes to find their mothers, leaving only some hardliners still holding signs and sitting quietly at the gate to protest and demonstrate.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, a cannonball slammed directly into the middle of a platoon of soldiers who were chatting at the entrance of the city hall.

The shells blew up a crater of about ten square meters around it, and the armored car that had just been parked in the middle could now only see a burning iron shell, and the soldiers around it seemed to have evaporated from the world, and there was no trace of it.

The sudden shelling took everyone by surprise, and the crowd of people who were sitting and protesting got up from the ground in a panic and immediately ran to what they thought was safe, while the police and the few remaining soldiers searched for a target.

A few hundred meters away, a puff of green smoke was slowly rising, and the shells were fired from that position.

Without waiting for the police to check what was happening, a mechanical roar came from afar, and a black figure broke out of a courtyard and directly smashed through the courtyard wall more than two meters high, revealing a hideous face.

"T-72! The Soviets are coming!" When a military enthusiast saw the face of the tank, he immediately called out the model of the tank.

The Soviet Union has long since collapsed, and the people around him don't have time to care about this guy who has been scared and full of nonsense, and scattered and fled.

For the Philippine police, this thing is a monster, it is not something they can solve at all, it is something beyond their responsibility and ability, and some police inspectors directly lost their weapons and began to flee.

As for the few remaining soldiers, there are no weapons in their hands to deal with these guys, and the shell just now, except for a few guys who are bragging about the police, escaped the catastrophe, and the rest of the soldiers gathered together are all heroic, including their platoon commanders.

All the soldiers and policemen who could not run began to run desperately, and the wounded soldiers and policemen who could not run, looked at the approaching tanks in despair, and began to pray in their hearts for God to bless them, and a big bomb fell from the sky to deal with this big guy.

It may be that God is on vacation today, and it is clear that God did not hear the prayers of these soldiers, and instead of the big bombs they wanted, a large number of armed men rushed out of the surrounding residential buildings, armed with all kinds of weapons, and rushed to the government buildings.

"Shall we shoot?" A wounded man endured the pain and looked at the veteran soldier next to him, who was hit by a debris from the explosion in his leg and lay on the ground unable to move, and was holding back the pain to watch what was happening in front of him.

"Shoot? Do you want to kill us? Surrender! ”

The militants in front of the government building, except for the first time when they used a tank to destroy half a platoon of soldiers, the rest of the time they did not fire a single shot, and successfully captured the government building.

After realizing that they could not escape, the surrounding policemen and soldiers all squatted down and threw their weapons out, raised their hands and surrendered, and looked at the armed elements in front of them with trepidation, and their hearts were full of fear, fearing that these people would kill them all if they were unhappy.

Unlike the simple battles that preceded the city hall building, the battles that took place in front of the police station were much more brutal.

Because the previous assault did not kill Lokat directly, the chain of command in front of the police station was not chaotic, and after a brief panic, the soldiers set up a simple defensive zone and fought back against the Free Army fighters.

For a while, the gunfire in front of the entire police station rang out intensively, and even in the daytime, the naked eye could see all kinds of bullets flashing in the air.

Lacking heavy weapons, the official Philippine army was able to hide behind some bunkers and shoot at some outcropping militants, but the results were not very good.

Unlike the armed men they had encountered before, the Free Army fighters were very disciplined in their battles, and knew how to use their equipment superiority to suppress the firepower of these soldiers.

Two T-72 tanks hit the head, the rest hid behind the tanks, and the 125mm smoothbore guns on the tanks fired at the bunkers where the Filipino soldiers were hiding, while the machine guns on the tanks suppressed the soldiers, giving them no chance to fight back.

Several Filipino soldiers gathered all the grenades together and prepared to learn the method of the movie, burrowing under the chassis of the tank and blowing it up.

However, as soon as they emerged, they were ruthlessly sniped by the snipers, and the grenades that had just been bundled in their hands also became the target of the snipers.

Filipino soldiers and police had only been in contact with these militants for less than two minutes before they suffered heavy losses, with about a third of their men killed or wounded. (To be continued.) )
