219 Fierce street fighting

As soon as a large number of Spanish soldiers fired, the residents of the entire No. 3 Street panicked, because of the slanderous propaganda of the Spaniards, the people regarded the people of the Chinese Empire as demons and the Spaniards as saviors, but now the saviors have also become demons.

More and more people were shot to the ground, and people ran in all directions in panic, some were crushed by the crowd, others tripped over dead bodies, and all trampled to death. For a time, the streets were filled with the screams of women, the yells of men, the cries of children, and the screams of the wounded.

The dense gunfire and chaotic shouts were heard by Governor Sanders inside, who walked to the window and looked out through the window, only to see that there were people running everywhere outside, and the ground was full of dead bodies, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and said angrily: "Why did you shoot at the people?" What's going on? ”

Nacolino hurriedly sent his subordinates to inquire, and the staff officer who had not gone to inquire ran back and reported the matter to Nacolino as it was, and Nacolino hurriedly reported to Governor Sanders: "Your Excellency, a section of the fence was blown open by a grenade, and the crowd poured into the governor's palace from the gap, and among the people who poured in was a man from the Huaxia Empire, and they killed one of our soldiers with a knife, and the captain of the guard was worried that the situation could not be controlled, so he ordered his subordinates to shoot." ”

After listening to Nacolino's account, Governor Sanders slammed his fist on the table and said angrily: "Bastard, doing so will only cause us to lose the support of the people..."

Nacolino said helplessly: "If you don't do this, if you are mixed in by the army of the Chinese Empire, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Governor Sanders sighed heavily and said, "Then let the guards clear the situation and calm the chaos at once." ”

Nakolino said yes and ran out to convey the order, and the guards showed even more ruthlessness to the people, and they even brought out the Maxim heavy machine guns and opened fire on the people.

Zhang Chuang and the others saw that the Spaniards were killing, so they could only temporarily retreat and hide in a remote alley, Zhang Chuang and they arranged a retreat and assembly plan before the action, and the plan stipulated the assembly location, so soon everyone gathered, and the people who were swept away by the crowd before also returned.

Lin Zhenhai said helplessly to Zhang Chuang: "Captain, it seems that our plan to sneak attack the Governor's Mansion has not been completed. ”

Hu Shuangxi sighed on the side and said, "It took us so much effort to infiltrate, but we didn't expect it to be useless at all. ”

Zhang Chuang laughed again, and Lin Zhenhai hurriedly asked, "Captain, what are you laughing at?" Could it be that His Majesty also expected the current situation? ”

Zhang Chuang shook his head and smiled: "Your Majesty is a human being, not a god, how can you expect everything?" Although His Majesty did not expect the current situation, His Majesty Xià has explained to me, that is, if the attack on the Governor's Palace fails, we will use our street fighting skills, especially sniper skills, to carry out sniping and harassment operations in the rear of the enemy, and make every effort to disrupt the deployment of the enemy army and interfere with the judgment of the enemy commander..."

Everyone's eyes lit up and they nodded their heads, Zhang Chuang continued: "Let's hide first, don't act in a hurry, it's half past six in the morning, according to His Majesty's plan, the frontal general attack of the main force will be launched at half past seven in the morning, and at that time, we will act together and cooperate with the frontal battle of the main force." ”

Zhang Chuang's voice did not fall, only heard a dense gunfire in the direction of No. 6 Street, most of the gunshots were issued by Lin Fei's troops, obviously Lin Fei's troops launched a general attack, Zhang Chuang was shocked, and said in amazement: "It's only half past six now, why is the general attack an hour ahead of schedule?" ”

Everyone didn't know why, at this moment, they only heard an explosion "boom" in a gunshot, Lin Zhenhai was stunned when he heard this sound, and said to Zhang Chuang: "Captain, I heard this sound is the sound of the HP-2 75mm howitzer, the gap can't go through the artillery truck at all, how did the artillery get that big guy in?" ”

Zhang Chuang laughed and said, "We can't take care of this, let's do what we should do, go, attack the Spaniards." After Zhang Chuang finished speaking, he led everyone into the alley and ran towards No. 6 Street.

It turned out that Lin Fei advanced the general attack time by an hour entirely because of Zhang Chuang's actions, although Lin Fei did not have radio communication equipment, so he could not grasp the movements of the sniper team in real time, let alone understand what the sniper team saw, but some Chinese ran from near the governor's palace to the area controlled by Lin Fei's troops and told Lin Fei about the chaos.

Lin Fei immediately made a judgment...... The chaos in the rear of the enemy army must have something to do with his sniper team, and he couldn't let his sniper team fight alone, so Lin Fei gave the order for a general attack an hour in advance.

During the time of the truce between the two sides, Lin Fei ordered the engineer battalion to clean up the concrete blocks at the gap in the shortest possible time, and the engineer battalion immediately dispatched to blow up the large concrete blocks with explosives, and then sent migrant workers and soldiers to push the concrete blocks away.

This was a great deal of enthusiasm for the migrant workers, who rushed to carry away the concrete blocks, so that soon the three-meter-high concrete pile was only more than half a meter high.

However, at this time, the concrete pile was still difficult to walk, because it was uneven, so the soldiers of the engineer battalion prepared a lot of sandbags, which were filled with fine sand, and they spread the sandbags on the concrete pile, filled in the uneven place, so they built a road suitable for the gun trucks, and the howitzers entered the city.

There were a total of four howitzers that came in, and Wang Siqi and Liu Jun were each assigned two, and these two guns joined the battle group, which immediately brought an overwhelming advantage to the Chinese Empire.

Lin Fei's troops formed a defensive position with the commanding heights as the core, and the same was true for the Spaniards, who also mounted heavy machine guns on the commanding heights, and the howitzers happened to be able to see the commanding heights, so the artillery could use direct aiming and shooting, and there was no need for people to guide the target.

The commanding heights of the Spaniards on the west side of No. 6 Avenue are the Andris warehouse and the Stehl restaurant, the howitzers are directly aimed at these two commanding heights and fired, after the first two shells missed, the back shells all fell on the target, Lin Fei's artillery shells were filled with trinitrotoluene explosives, which were extremely powerful, and the warehouse and restaurant were not extremely strong military buildings, and they were quickly blown into ruins.

The bricks and stones fell down, burying the Spanish soldiers directly, and none of them were spared, and the explosion of the shells also caused a huge panic among the Spanish soldiers, who had the illusion that they saw the soldiers on the commanding heights being killed...... The next person to be killed was himself.

Just when the Spanish soldiers were extremely panicked, the howling trumpet of the ghost crying wolf sounded, and with the sound of the trumpet, Lin Fei's troops began a general attack on the ground.

The Spanish soldiers plucked up the courage to fight back, but Lin Fei's artillery had destroyed the commanding heights, and the Spanish firepower was not enough to resist Lin Fei's infantry, Lin Fei's infantry soon approached the house where the Spanish soldiers were hiding, they first blew up a gap in the wall of the house, and then threw the grenade in, the grenade exploded in the house, and the Spanish soldiers were killed and injured countless times for a while.

In the course of the battle, the role of the fifth column sent by Lin Fei was highlighted, the Chinese who had transported bullets for the Spaniards, the Chinese who picked up guns to help the Spaniards ran away without a trace, the Spaniards lacked ammunition and had no reinforcements, and many people fled in wolves.

The sniper team also began to exert their might at this time, they occupied the commanding heights on the side of the road, and shot at the Spanish soldiers on the street, they were all elites trained by Lin Fei, and they were well versed in the art of camouflage and concealment, the Spanish soldiers could not find them at all, in order to save their lives, they could only hide behind the building, not daring to show their heads, and some reinforcements were even blocked on the street by the sniper team for dozens of minutes.

From time to time, the sniper team also encountered the fifth column sent into the city by Lin Fei, and these soldiers also picked up the Spaniards' rifles and attacked with the sniper team, constantly hitting the Spaniards from behind.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, only two and a half hours before the launch of the general attack, Lin Fei's troops broke through the defenses of No. 6 and No. 5 Avenues and entered No. 4 Avenue.

There was a panic in the Governor's Mansion at this time, and Nacolino said to Governor Sanders: "Your Excellency, the Chinese pigs have broken through Fifth Street, and are now engaged in a fierce battle with our army on Fourth Street, and our army may not be able to stop them, should we retreat as much as we can?" ”

Governor Sanders was unwilling to fail, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Retreat? Where else can we retreat? ”

Nacolino hurriedly said: "There are still several cities north of Manila, all of which are in the hands of our Spanish Empire, so we can take refuge for a while, and then we will return to Spain from those places, and we may be able to kill them in the future." ”

Governor Sanders sighed and said gloomily: "With the national strength of the empire, it is simply impossible to mobilize troops from Spain for an expedition. ”

Nacolino was silent, Governor Sanders suddenly raised his head, two cold lights shot out of his eyes, and a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and said, "What about the British envoy?" Didn't the Chinese Empire promise the British Empire not to launch infantry attacks again? Now that the Chinese Empire is brazenly attacking, it is obvious that it does not take the British Empire seriously, can the British Empire swallow this breath? ”
