Pokinworth exclaimed, "What? Not our field artillery? What is that? ”

François shook his head and said, "I don't know what it is, but as you said, our field artillery will never be able to hit this rate of fire." ”

The HP-2 howitzer designed and manufactured by Lin Fei uses a hydraulic retraction machine, with a maximum rate of fire of up to 18 rounds per minute, which is not reached by artillery in this era, and the Spaniards naturally could not have imagined it.

Polkins asked in surprise, "Could it be that the Chinese pigs used a new type of artillery?" ”

François shook his head and said, "Impossible... Absolutely impossible..."

Polkingwis, seeing that François was extremely sure, asked in surprise: "Monsieur François, how dare you be so sure?" ”

François said: "We have obtained top-secret information on the development of artillery in the Chinese Empire, and the intelligence says that the newly developed artillery of the Chinese Empire has had many explosions, so it is impossible for the Chinese Empire to develop artillery..."

Pokinweis's eyes widened wider than eggs, and he said, "But the current situation is that we have indeed been hit by the new artillery of the Huaxia Empire..."

François sighed and said, "This is not the only strange thing. ”

Pokinworth hurriedly asked, "Is there anything else strange?" ”

François said firmly: "Of course there is... The explosive power of enemy shells is noticeably stronger than ours. François said, pointing to the dead body on the ground and saying, "Our shells will never blow people up like this..."

Pokinworth was stunned for a moment and asked, "Can you also see the difference in the shells?" ”

François nodded unquestioningly and said: "There are not many fragments from the explosion of our shells, and we can't blow people up like this, and the sound of this shell explosion is not right, our shells do not explode with such a loud sound." ”

Polkingworth said blankly: "What the hell is going on? François also shook his head helplessly, at this time they didn't know that the top-secret information they had was actually specially made by Lin Fei.

François and Polkinwis were wondering, when suddenly a Spanish soldier exclaimed, "Oh no, there's someone ahead..."

When Pochinworth heard this, he looked up, and saw several figures in the distance approaching, and a thought came to his mind like lightning...... The army of the Chinese Empire is coming... Pokinwis hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Hurry up and hide..."

Pokinis said while pulling François to hide in the bushes on the side of the road, and when he walked, he touched François's wound, and François screamed in pain, Pokinwis was worried that François's cry would alarm the person on the other side, so he hurriedly reached out and covered François's mouth, and in the panic, François's teeth bit Pokinvis's hand, and Pokinwis almost screamed.

In a panic, Pokinvis took François to hide in the bushes on the side of the road, and then the figure of the people on the opposite side gradually became clear, and Pokinwis breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them, and it turned out that the people on the opposite side were not from the Chinese Empire, but people from his own troops.

Pokinwis then took François out of the bushes, and several Spanish soldiers from the opposite side also saw François and Pokinvis, and hurriedly ran over to salute Pokinvis, and said: "Lieutenant Colonel Pokinvis, we are the heralds of the first field regiment, and the regiment commander, Colonel Commel, heard the dense explosions, let us ask, what happened?" ”

Pokingwis let out a long sigh and said, "It's hard to say, hurry up and take me to see Captain Komal." ”

The heralds had already seen the unbearable appearance of Pokinis and his subordinate wolf Bèi, especially the shocking wound on François's leg, and knew that Pokinweis's field battalion had been hit hard, and did not dare to ask more, and hurriedly took Pokinwis back to the regimental headquarters of the field regiment.

The 1st Field Regiment formed a long snake formation when it marched into the army, with the 1st Field Battalion of Pokingweith in the front, and the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Field Battalions in turn, with a separation of about 1,000 meters between each two battalions.

Pokinvis and François came to the regimental headquarters, and Pokinvis asked François to bandage, but François shook his head and said: "I want to report the situation of the enemy artillery to General Racheno, so I must see Colonel Colmel and ask for a telephone, so that I can talk to General Laceno personally." ”

Polkingavis had no choice but to take François to see Comaire, François wanted a telephone, but although the field regiment was resting, it was still on the march, and there was no way to lay telephone lines, so there was no telephone, so Colmer sent a staff officer to François, and asked François to report the situation to the staff officer, and then write a report and send it to Racello.

Commel brought in a military doctor and asked François to bandage his wounds and tell him what was going on, so François went to another tent, and Colmel asked Pokinwis directly: "Why did you come back with more than 20 people?" What about the others? ”

Pokinworth let out a long sigh and said gloomily, "All of them are dead." ”

"What? All killed? Komal slapped the table heavily, stood up with a "Teng", and exclaimed: "The sound of artillery has only lasted for two minutes, and it has killed one of my battalions, nearly five hundred men?" ”

Pokinwis said helplessly: "Colonel Komayer, don't you look at the explosion, which lasted less than two minutes, but more than a hundred shells fell on our side... A hundred... The explosion of each shell was very powerful, and a single shell could kill more than a dozen soldiers. ”

Komaier frowned and said, "More than a hundred shells fired in two minutes?" How many guns are they going to deploy? The rate of fire of the artillery was only five or six shots per minute. ”

"We don't know this either, because it was because their shells came so fast that our formation didn't have time to disperse, and we suffered a heavy defeat," Polkingwis said gloomily. ”

Comer stood up, his face bloodless, paced back and forth in the tent a few steps, waved a squire in, and asked, "Has François finished the situation?" ”

The staff officer shook his head and said, "I'm not finished, he's still talking." ”

Colmer nodded, and then said: "As soon as François finishes speaking, the report will be delivered to me as quickly as possible, understand?" ”

The staff officer agreed, Komal waved his hand, and the staff officer retreated, and Komal turned to Pokinworth and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Pokinweis, you should also go and rest." ”

Pokinwis agreed, got up and left the tent, and Comayer's heart couldn't help but gush with excitement, and secretly thought, the Chinese Empire has a new type of artillery, as long as I capture the high ground of the town of Stampala, I can get all those cannons, and then I will be a great hero of Spain.

While Comel was thinking about it, the staff officer walked in and said, "Report to Colonel Commel, François's words have been finished, this is what he said." As he spoke, he handed a letter full of words to Komal, who took it and read it, then handed it back to the staff officer, and said: "Give this document to General Racheno, and then tell General Sù Raceno that I will lead my troops to attack the high ground of the town of Stampala, and ask him for his approval." ”

The staff officer agreed, and took the letter to find the herald, although Komal wanted to attack the town of Stampala, but did not dare to act on his own, so he gave the order: "The second, third, and fourth battalions are on standby." ”

When Komal ordered the troops to stand by in place, Raceno received a report from the heralds, and he was taken aback when he saw the report, but quickly calmed down and ordered the 2nd Field Regiment to draw out the 4th Battalion and replenish it to the 1st Field Regiment, which was on standby.

After giving the order, Raceno sent a letter to Governor Sanders, in which he said: "The artillery of the Chinese Empire has entered the high ground of the small town of Sampala, and our field regiment is on standby. ”

After receiving the news, Sanders thought for a while, his original plan was to let Raceno lead his troops to attack Cavite, but the development of the battle was beyond everyone's expectations, and the center of the battle was led to the high ground of the small town of Tampara on the south side of Cavite. Sanders silently wondered if he wanted to start a land war with the Chinese Empire in the small town of Stampala?

Sanders' official position is the governor of the Spanish Empire in the Philippines, this official position is civilian, but Sanders has a wealth of military knowledge, he knows that sticking to one place is passive defense, which is completely undesirable, and the Spanish army has undergone a long period of training, and has purchased a lot of artillery, and its combat effectiveness has been greatly improved, and it is completely possible to fight with the army of the Chinese Empire on land.

Sanders also believed that the army of the Chinese Empire had just landed, had an unstable foothold, was not familiar with the terrain, and did not have many ammunition reserves, so he sent troops to fight with him, and the chances of victory were very high, so Sanders finally decided to transfer two regiments and 4,000 people from the city defense force in Manila to join the battle sequence of La Ceno, and start a decisive battle on land with the troops of the Chinese Empire, taking advantage of Lin Fei's unstable foothold, to drive Lin Fei into the sea.

Sanders immediately ordered the First and Second City Defense Regiments to prepare for departure, and the two regiments immediately began to prepare for departure.

At this time, Lin Fei was very happy, because he had received the report of Zhao Menggang's victory in the first battle, after Pokinweis fled, Zhao Menggang sent scouts to the place where Pokinweis's department was attacked to reconnoitre, and found a large number of dead bodies of Spaniards, and there were more than 300 corpses that could be identified, so Zhao Menggang wrote a report on the reconnaissance results and sent them to Lin Fei.

Lin Fei looked at the report and smiled, and the staff officer He Kaisheng came in and said, "Your Majesty, the dark sword has sent intelligence." ”

Lin Fei's heart moved, put down the report and asked, "What information?" ”
