The South Waterway in and out of Manila Bay, the Americans tried it, and after throwing down a cruiser, they obediently shrank back, God knows how many mines were laid on the waterway, they didn't have the courage to continue the trip, the narrow channel of the North Waterway was simply another bigger trap, and the Americans didn't even have the courage to try.

The waterway was so narrow that it only took a few shore guns to sink ships entering the waterway like a target, becoming a reef in and out of the waterway and sealing the entire waterway.

Now the Americans' Asian detachment is like a trapped beast, firmly trapped in Manila Bay, but if you want the Americans to surrender in a nest, it is also impossible, have you ever seen a bison put in a bullpen, exhausted without tossing, can it stop?

At about 4 o'clock in the morning on 3 May, after a short rest and recuperation, the US Asian Squadron took advantage of the darkest period before dawn and under the leadership of the Baltimore, it opened up one after the other, rowed a large arc at the speed of 12 knots, approached about three nautical miles from Manila City, and shelled Manila City with all the guns on the battleship that could fire in the morning light.

All of a sudden, the warships turned into fire-breathing monsters, and in a roar, they threw large and small screeching projectiles into Manila City, and then orange-red fireballs rose in Manila City.

According to common sense, to attack a coastal port city, the first thing is to knock out the coastal defense batteries that protect the city. However, the Americans were embarrassed to find in their trial the day before yesterday that even if the elevation angle of all the main guns was adjusted to the maximum, they could not send the shells in the bore to the three high battery groups, that is to say, the US Asian Detachment was unable to carry out effective artillery bombardment of the three battery groups at all, and could only be beaten and could not fight back, so there was a reason why they did not first open artillery bombardment at dawn, but directly carried out a sneak attack on the city of Manila.

The actions of the Americans were beyond everyone's expectations, and they also reached the suddenness of the surprise attack, and everyone did not expect that the American Asian detachment would not first carry out a suppressive artillery bombardment of the battery, but directly shelled the city of Manila, so that the three battery groups guarding the city of Manila and the battery of Cavite did not react immediately when the attack on the city of Manila began, did not counterattack the American warships that were close at hand, and allowed them to get close to the city of Manila, sending countless shells into the city.

In the rumbling cannons, countless projectiles roared towards the city in the morning light, rumbling in the city, raising clusters of orange-red fire, devouring houses and buildings, and then throwing countless building materials around, followed by clouds of smoke, shrouding the entire city in a cloud of black smoke.

The whole city was suddenly awakened like a sleeping man, and countless people, claddled in messy clothes, rushed out of their humble houses, running and howling like headless ants crashing through the narrow streets, and then torn to pieces in a burst of flames or the shock wave of the explosion of a cannonball was thrown into the air like the buildings that were thrown away, and these people were basically lazy Filipinos.

As early as three days ago, the Spaniards and those honest Chinese withdrew from Manila as soon as they received the evacuation order, and these lazy Filipino natives, as always, took a procrastinating attitude towards any order, and this procrastination became a precursor to their sacrifice.

When Earmelee issued the evacuation order, he took a very tough attitude towards the Chinese and Spaniards in Manila City, ignored the strong dissatisfaction and resistance of those people, forcibly drove them out of Manila City, and arranged for them to live in a safe camp twenty kilometers away, while for the Filipino natives in Manila City, he took the form of notification, and did not implement any tough measures, and let it go without enforcement, which is also one of the plans formulated by Gao Hongsheng and Earmelee, Dead people are indispensable in war, and in order to win sympathy, some dead people are needed to set off the cruelty of war.

On the batteries guarding Manila, several old-fashioned cameras and movie cameras faithfully recorded the heroic posture of the American fleet, and the 120 negatives made of celluloid left the famous name of the American fleet bombarding Manila City, and also left the scene of Manila City shrouded in fire and smoke after the bombardment.

This is only a small part, when the American fleet withdraws, they will also go deep into the city of Manila, loyally in the fire and smoke, with film and film to record the dead bodies everywhere between the broken walls, and finally those printed, carefully selected photos, will quietly appear on the front pages of major newspapers in the United States and Europe in the near future, the majestic and majestic appearance of the Americans will be thoroughly presented in front of the public's eyes, and at the same time, those film reels will also enter the large and small projectors.

Ten minutes after the Americans began to bombard Manila City, the three battery groups guarding Manila City and the batteries in Cavite began to counterattack almost simultaneously, and the muzzles of the American fleet spitting flames became the best targets.

In a very successful sneak attack, under the tight protection of several batteries, the US Asian Squadron shelled Manila City undamaged, spreading the horror of death to the city.

At about 10 o'clock in the morning, General Dewey sent a messenger to deliver a second letter of surrender to Manila, ordering the Spaniards to surrender immediately, otherwise the American fleet would continue to shell Manila.

The Spanish soldiers who had destroyed their homes almost killed the messenger halfway, and they all looked at the high-spirited messenger with red eyes, but when the messenger was beaten out of the headquarters by the guards in the battery headquarters, the Spanish soldiers burst into the highest cheers since the beginning of the war.

Amid the cheers, the embarrassed messenger stumbled and fled to the dinghy moored on the beach, and after a hard rowing, he brought back to General Dewey a reply from Brigadier General Earmelee, the Supreme Provisional Commander of Spain: "I will destroy all your ships and let you damned Americans go to the bottom of the sea to repent of the crimes you have done to the civilians of Manila." ”

And in the open sea of Manila Bay, Gao Hongsheng and Feng Laosi pretended to be sad on their faces, looking at the black clouds in the distant sky, their hearts were already happy, and every move of the Americans was performing according to Gao Hongsheng's written script.
