Chapter 111: A Thousand Dollars
Without MacArthur's command and the leadership of American GIs, the Philippine government forces became quite weak, and the resistance in the city of Manila was extremely vulnerable due to the presence of the 380-mm naval guns of the battleship fleet of the Bongsian.
The mission of the Marine Corps Jewish Brigade was originally to open the landing field, but unexpectedly, the Philippine government forces that were dazed by the naval artillery basically lost their resistance, and the walrus amphibious tanks and clouded leopard armored vehicles drove to the Maracanan Palace after the barge came down, and the Philippine presidential officials who had just enjoyed three days of independence raised the white flag under the leadership of the president. The beautiful Malacanan Palace, with a history of 200 years, soon raised the golden dragon flag to the sea.
When Zhong Yi received a call that the Jewish Brigade had occupied Manila and the Philippine president had surrendered, he still didn't believe it, could it be a mistake? It wasn't until Long Zhou, the commander of the Northern Fleet, personally sent a telegram that His Majesty believed, "Nima, didn't you say that the combat effectiveness of the Filipinos is quite good?" Do you dare to fight bayonets with the Japanese, and still fight guerrilla warfare in the rainforest? ”
What His Majesty said is indeed historical, but it was under the leadership of American soldiers, and under the command of American generals such as MacArthur and Winter, and the final result was still the surrender of Winter and the defeat of Arthur in Australia.
In contrast to the Royal Marines, who were armed to the teeth, the government forces after the withdrawal of American troops have been beaten back to their prototypes, in His Majesty's words, "a bunch of monkeys with guns".
However, the fighting on Luzon Island did not end with the occupation of the Malacanan Palace, and the Han army could be regarded as shooting itself in the foot this time, and the rebels who had been raised in order to drive out the American army now regarded the Han army as an aggressor, especially the New People's Army led by the Philippine Communist Party in Central Luzon, and they rebelled against the soldiers of the Subic Bay Naval Base and Clark Air Base in northern Manila, and the number of troops of the New People's Army soared to more than 30,000 overnight, and they held Type 59 automatic rifles supported by the Han army, shouting "Drive out the invaders." , liberate the Philippines" concentrated on the outskirts of Manila, trying to drive the Jewish brigade of the aggressor into the sea beyond Manila Bay.
The Jewish Brigade, which numbered just over 3,000 men, relied on amphibious tanks and armored vehicles, supported by naval artillery, and engaged the NPA in fierce battles outside Manila.
The New People's Army, armed with communist ideology, was not afraid of a strong enemy, and fought stubbornly using all kinds of weapons left by the US troops at the Subic Bay base. After two days of fierce fighting, the Jewish Brigade was forced to retreat after losing more than a dozen tanks and armored vehicles, retreating to the south bank of the Raba Shi River and blowing up all the bridges over the Raba Shi River to stop the New People's Army attack. The CPP forces lacked equipment to cross the river, and the Jewish brigades had deployed strong fortifications along the riverbank, so they had to suspend the attack and form a standoff with the Marines on both sides of the river.
At this time, international public opinion was also obviously unfavorable to the Han Dynasty, and the traditional powers such as the United States, Britain, and France accused the Han of grossly interfering in the internal affairs of other countries, which was an act of aggression. The little devil also stood with these countries rarely, and said angrily: If the Han State does not immediately stop its aggression, the Imperial Japanese Army will consider sending troops to help the Filipino people defend their freedom and independence!
Zhong Yi is a little devil and let it go...... Fart, you're playing in China yourself, and you're embarrassed to say I'm an invasion? There's no need to ignore them, take the Philippines and establish an advance base, and then have fun with the little devils. But Roosevelt's phone call had to make His Majesty pay attention, and the gist of Luo Cripple's phone call was: Zhong Yi, you kid is not authentic! Didn't you tell me that after the withdrawal of US troops from the Philippines, you negotiated with the Philippine side to lease Subic Bay and Batan Island, and then declared war on the Japanese? How do you send troops to seize territory? You are changing tricks to fool us, we Americans go on the front foot, and you go in on the back foot?
Although Zhong Yi likes to call Roosevelt lame behind his back, he still respects this legendary figure who has only served four terms as president of the United States, pulled the United States out of the quagmire of the Great Depression, and won World War II, and even said that the arrogance of later American imperialism for decades was the foundation laid by Roosevelt. In our words, Roosevelt was an absolute god.
"Mr. President, I have not violated the agreement between us, and I only hope that the news that we are going to declare war on Japan will not be leaked out on the side of the United States." has been an emperor for a few years, and then by the way to attack the opponent's unpreparedness, His Majesty has practiced this kung fu well.
Roosevelt, who was on the other side of the phone, was also a little embarrassed, and the information that Dahan was about to declare war on Japan really leaked out of the United States. Although it was not intentional, the mentality of the United States cheering on both sides and waiting for onlookers was too obvious. Forget it, since the troops have been withdrawn, the affairs of the Philippines will not matter, "However, you must fulfill your promise as soon as possible to take the Philippines!" "Mr. President is now a little suspicious of Zhong Yi's character, this kid is like a fox, and he doesn't know which sentence is true.
As if seeing Luo's lame expression, Zhong Yi on the other end of the phone pinched his nose, "Please rest assured, we Han people have a promise!" ”
Hanging up the phone, His Majesty muttered, "How much is the daughter?" $1,000 ......"
Picked up the phone again, "Haman, if the Bingzhou Legion is inked again, I will let the Youzhou Legion go and tell you, Luzon, whoever fights down is whose territory!" "The people in the world who call the old man's name directly, I don't know if His Majesty is the first one.
"Don't!" The handsome old Jewish guy was in a hurry all of a sudden, why should he regret what he said was good? Let the Northeast people in Youzhou go, do you still have our Rothschild's share in Luzon? "Your Majesty, three days, three more days, and the vanguard of the state legion will be on board."
The Bingzhou Legion is a unit formed by the Jews of the Seven Angel Cities of Revelation Bay, one of the thirteen state legions of the Great Han Dynasty, and a legion directly under the Imperial Wartime Military Council. In the battle of Luzon, Zhong Yi did not plan to let other troops go, you Jews have their own territory, and you will do it yourself. However, if you had known that the Philippine government was armed with such a dish? It's good to let the 2nd Marine Brigade go at the beginning, and it wouldn't be bad to let Harman compensate you after the fight, huh?
- The handsome old Jewish man was furious, "Lao Tzu is just a precious girl, and the heirs of the Duke of Lion have been called by you as a girl, and you are still not satisfied?" ”
