Chapter 223: Occupation of the Whole of Palawan

As the mayor's speech was broadcast, Puerto Princesa slowly began to return to its former peace. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The strange thing is that after making sure that there is no threat to life, Puerto Princesa broke out again the next day, and these citizens who don't know what to think actually want to take advantage of the unstable establishment of the new government to put forward some conditions to get the new government to agree.

The day before, it was shouting "Palawan autonomy!" ”

Slogans such as "Palawan is in the hands of the Palah" have all been discarded and replaced with slogans such as job creation, increased social welfare spending, fiscal transparency, and so on.

Lin Qing stood on the tall building of the municipal government building, looking down at the crowd of protesters downstairs, and looked at Clero who was standing beside him respectfully: "Do you say that these people are usually so funny?" This issue is actually being discussed at this time? ”

Clero's head was also sweating, obviously very afraid that Lin Qing would be unhappy at this time, so he killed all the people who were demonstrating in front of the door, and wiped the sweat beads on his forehead with his hand: "Mr. Lin Qing, this should be a good thing for you, which shows that the people do not reject the rule of our army, otherwise they should be thinking about how to escape from Puerto Princesa now, instead of protesting and demonstrating here." ”

Lin Qing nodded, agreeing with his statement, but sneered in his heart: Approbe? These Filipinos are really big-hearted, they say that they are the Palawan Free Army, they really think that they are the armed forces of Palawan's own people, but it is just some information spread by the night and others, such as so-and-so found his relatives in the army, and so-and-so found that his classmates were also in the army, etc.

Truth and falsehood filled the entire network, so that many citizens of Puerto Princesa slowly believed in their hearts that this Palawan Free Army was really a force from Palawan, since it was a local force, the citizens of Puerto Princesa slowly became bolder, after the first batch of dozens of people marched and demonstrated without encountering any obstruction, hundreds of people gathered to demonstrate on the streets, and more people were hiding in the shadows to watch.

"Send someone to manage it first, and tell them that the government army is about to counterattack, and Puerto Princesa will implement military control, and the specific time of lifting the control depends on the continuation of the battle!"

"Yes!"

At the same time that Puerto Princesa fell into a strange atmosphere, the rest of the cities on the island of Palawan were being liberated rapidly, and many people in various parts of the island of Palawan have gone online to tell netizens all over the world about the speed of the Palawan Free Army.

On the afternoon of the occupation of Puerto Princesa, several small cities around Puerto Princess were all occupied by Lin Qing's subordinates, and not a single shot was fired in the whole process, of course, these small cities did not have any army and armed organizations, and they had no ability to resist.

In the capture of Puerto Princesa, soldiers have appeared at the northern end of Palawan, and several small cities in the northern end have been occupied, except for one airfield still in the hands of Philippine government forces.

When the Filipino soldiers were still struggling with whether to destroy the airport facilities, Lin Qing's Palawan Free Army suddenly appeared outside the airport like a divine soldier, which caught the airport guards off guard at all, and easily occupied the largest airport in Palawan with almost no losses.

Until the airport was occupied, the supreme leader of the airport, Major General Kodora, was in a state of bewilderment, and he had just received a report that the rebels had just occupied the city of Roerko, which was fifty miles away from here. How did it take less than two minutes to get to your own military base?

Kodora didn't know that when the Northern Route Army was marching, the ultimate goal had been set on his air base, and it was not necessarily necessary to avoid accidents, and the Northern Route Army had already divided into two roads before it advanced to the city of Rolco, one in the light and the other in the dark, and when the Northern Route Army attacked the city of Rolco, they attacked the airport almost at the same time, so that the person in charge of the airport did not have any time to react at all, and was directly occupied.

The Northern Route Army here refers to one of the troops that set out from Puerto Princesa to unify Palawan Island, and Lin Qing sent a total of two troops, one to the southwest and one to the northeast, and the Northern Route Army was to the northeast.

While the Northern Army was in full swing, the Southern Army was moving relatively slowly, after all, unlike the Northern Route Army, there was a half-full Third Division in the South.

After receiving the news of the Palawan Free Army's southward movement, Sokale, commander of the Third Division, after thinking for a long time, immediately decided on a battle plan, and decided to let all the troops take companies as units, break them into pieces, and carry out the legendary guerrilla warfare, relying on the terrain to resist and strive to delay the arrival of the government troops.

Sokalie still has some tactical vision, he understands the combat effectiveness of his subordinates, and it is okay to bully and bully the common people, but if he fights with the regular army, there is no difference between hitting a stone with an egg.

Especially after watching the battle video of Palawan Freedom, Sokele has no confidence to defeat the other party, he is not a traditional Philippine general, he went to the United States to study, and learned the world's advanced tactics, but due to the investment in the army in the Philippines, even if he has a great revenge, it cannot be realized, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

After determining that there was no way to defeat him, Sokale began to think about how he could hold the city as long as possible and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

A staff officer who had studied in China had come up with an idea that made Sokale's eyes light up, and he already knew what to do.

As a result, the Southern Army of the Palawan Free Army had just moved south, and the remaining two regiments had already received orders from the division headquarters, requiring them to immediately disperse in various areas in the south of Palawan Island as companies, relying on favorable terrain to resist layer by layer and delay the opponent's offensive rhythm.

This plan did work very well when it was first implemented, and the commander of the Southern Route Army, Hebrew, was indeed a headache at first, but when he reported the situation, it was the turn of the people of the Third Division to have a headache.

Modern warfare is different from previous wars, guerrilla warfare emphasizes hitting the target with one blow, and if you miss it, you will be able to travel thousands of miles, and these require some specific conditions, the most important of which is the need for vast depth, but this is something that the Palawan island lacks.

Therefore, when Lin Qing and others issued the latest instructions, the entire Third Division was wiped out, and almost all of them were surrounded and suppressed in one day, except for some people who escaped, most of them were captured. (To be continued.) )
