At about 5 o'clock in the evening of June 5, in the office of Lin Daxin, the Governor-General's Mansion in Manila, Lin Daxin was sitting behind his desk with a gloomy face at this time, and there were four people in the office, Jiang Hui, commander of the Third Fleet, Chen Ming, commander of the Fifth Fleet, Xie Jun, commander of the 15th Division of the Dingbei Army, and Ju Peng, commander of the Marine Division, standing opposite Lin Daxin's desk.

Lin Daxin said with a calm face: "The 15th Division received a telegram that it was attacked by tens of thousands of natives in the northernmost city of Luzon, and now the city defense stationed in Laoag City has been lost, and the officers and soldiers of Dingbei of 1 company have retreated into the station in the city with more than 3,000 local Chinese, and more than 1,000 Chinese have been slaughtered by the natives!" ”

Hearing Lin Daxin say this, Jiang Hui, Chen Ming, and Ju Peng's eyes were full of anger, and the commander of the 15th Division, Xie Jun, continued: "What's worse is that our 15th Division is near Laoag City, and none of our troops can support Laoag City in a short time!" ”

Angry, Ju Peng shouted, "Headmaster! These natives must not be spared, let our marines go to the city of Laoag! Go fast from the sea! We, the marines, must make the natives pay! ”

Lin Daxin originally saw that the Philippines had stabilized and signed an agreement with the United States on the United States, and Italy relented, and promised to use 40 tons of gold to redeem the captured 8,500 Italian naval officers and soldiers, so Lin Daxin was ready to return to the Northeast in the next few days, but he didn't expect that the indigenous people of the Philippines had not been afraid of being killed by the Dingbei Army, and they had jumped out again, and thousands of Chinese had been slaughtered in the city of Laoag.

Lin Daxin's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he said to Ju Peng: "There is only one company of the nearest Dingbei Army near Laoag City guarding the port of Apari. It would take 2 days for their company to march to Laoag City, but the reinforcements of 1 company were slightly weak, and it would take even longer for the other Dingbei Army units to reach Laoag! The city of Laoag is now in critical condition. The Dingbei Army in the city only has one company, and in the face of more than 10,000 natives, it also has to protect more than 3,000 Chinese people, and it is in urgent need of support. Therefore, I have decided that some of your marines will be sent to the city of Laoag by sea as fast as possible in fast warships. Landing on the coast, which is relatively close to the city of Laoag! ”

Ju Peng's "snap-" Lizheng said, "Yes, principal!" We, the Marine Division, are guaranteed to complete the mission! ”

Lin Daxin said to Jiang Hui and Chen Ming again: "Of the eight general-class large fast armored cruisers in Manila, the Fifth Fleet will assign four more protective cruisers to be responsible for this delivery mission. Led by Jiang Hui, I will also go to Laoag City this time, and Chen Ming You will take the remaining Fifth Fleet warships in Manila to guard Manila Bay. There shouldn't be any forces nearby that are making trouble for us in the near future. But we can't slack off! ”

Jiang Hui and Chen Ming also "snapped" and shouted: "Yes!" Handsome! "Yes! Headmaster! ”

At present, the Fifth Fleet has two old ironclad ships, Weihai and Dinghai and Zhenhai, 12 anti-aircraft fast protection cruisers, 16 new torpedo boats with a displacement of 200 tons, and 10 new small shallow water gunboats with a displacement of 350 tons.

After the Fifth Fleet arrived in the Philippines, it sent two anti-aircraft fast protection cruisers and two torpedo boats to Guam. Two more fast protection cruisers and two torpedo boats were sent to Wake Island, and the rest of the warships were in Manila Harbor.

8 p.m. that day. Eight general-class large fast armored cruisers and four anti-several fast protection cruisers, carrying 6,000 officers and men of the Marine Division, headed north.

At the station of Yang Dawa's company in Laoag City, Yang Dawa received a telegram from the division headquarters from the radio, telling him that his navy had carried thousands of officers and soldiers of the Marine Division to support Laoag City by sea, and that at 8 o'clock tomorrow night at the latest, the support troops would be able to rush to Laoag City, so that Yang Dawa must protect the remaining 3,000 Chinese and not let them be slaughtered by the natives.

Yang Dawa glanced down at the watch in her hand, it was 6 o'clock in the evening, and it seemed that her company had to hold out at the station for 26 hours.

Yang Dawa breathed a sigh of relief, the ammunition in the company's station was recharged, although the entire company only had more than 120 people, a total of 9 soldiers were killed when guarding the city gate and saving the Chinese in the city, but Yang Dawa was still very confident that she could hold on until the reinforcements of the Marine Division arrived.

The four sides of the garrison are more than 80 meters, and now they have been dug trenches, Yang Dawa asked two infantry platoons to guard each side, and the machine gun platoon was also divided into two infantry platoons, each infantry platoon reinforced with 1 heavy machine gun and 2 light machine guns.

The six 60-mm mortars of the artillery platoon set up artillery positions in the garrison and provided artillery support to the positions on all sides at any time. Seven members of the logistics support squad and four members of the medical team also formed the support team. Yang Dawa took the guard squad as a mobile team, moving on all sides of the position according to the situation, and going wherever the position was critical.

The Chinese in the station, regardless of men, women and children, also picked up a qiē weapon that could be found, and if the natives broke through the position of the Dingbei army, the Chinese would not be captured and wait for the slaughter of the natives.

Li Hui and Cui'er also tightly held the scissors that they had been carrying on their bodies, Li Hui had already made up her mind that her little woman would never be able to beat any of the natives, and if the natives broke through the position of the Dingbei Army, she would commit suicide with scissors to save her reputation.

Yang Dawa's company and more than 3,000 Chinese had been anxiously waiting for the natives to attack the station, but the night passed, the natives only cared about the brutal persecution of more than 5,000 other ethnic groups in the city of Laoag, destroying the women they caught, and venting their animal desires.

Even Aguinaldo, the leader of the Katipnan organization, tossed around a beautiful Malay young woman who was given to him by the natives until the second half of the night, and had no intention of organizing the natives to attack the Dingbei army's garrison.

It wasn't until the next morning, when Aquinardo walked out of the room contentedly, that he began to gather the natives of the city of Laoag to attack the Dingbei army's garrison.

In the end, the natives of the city of Laoag, led by Aquinaldo, surrounded the garrison of Yang Dawa's company. It was already past 10 o'clock in the morning.

Aguinaldo still had a piece of flower cloth wrapped around his head, and said to the dozen or so leaders of the Catipunan organization under him with a hideous face: "Tell the warriors of all ethnic groups, there are not many soldiers in the Chinese station, but there are many beautiful Chinese women in it, as long as everyone can rush in, you can carnival casually!" ”

Aguinaldo's words were conveyed by the leaders to the natives below, and more than 13,000 natives cheered in unison, shaking the earth and making the Chinese children in the station cry in fright.

On the northern position, Yang Dawa looked at the natives outside the position with a calm face, pursed her lips, and ordered loudly: "Brothers, the natives are going to attack, there are 3,258 compatriots behind us, as long as we have one person in the company, we must not let the natives break through our position, do you hear clearly?" ”

"Hear me clearly!" More than 30 soldiers on the northern position shouted in unison.

"Company commander, don't worry, just rely on these natives and rabble, don't want to break through our company's position!" Hua Zi, the leader of the guard squad beside Yang Dawa, said.

Soon after, the natives swarmed from all sides of the Dingbei army garrison and began to attack at the same time.

When the natives approached, "da-da-" "boom-boom-boom-" light and heavy machine guns and mortars began to fire heavily, and one by one the natives fell in front of the position.

These natives fought with the well-equipped Dingbei army, although some of the natives had gunpowder guns and single-shot rifles in their hands, but the weapons and the Dingbei army were not on the same level at all, if it wasn't for the weak walls of Laoag City yesterday, let alone 15,000 natives, even if it was doubled, it would be impossible to capture Laoag City, which was guarded by Yang Dawa's 1st Company.

The first four-sided attack of the natives quickly retreated, leaving only one corpse of the natives in front of the four-sided positions, and in less than 10 minutes, at least nearly a thousand natives were killed in the charge.

Liga, the leader of Katipnan, looked at the bad-faced leader Aguinaldo and said, "Chief, the casualties are too great in such a fight!" ”

Aguinaldo frowned and said, "The firepower of the Chinese army is too strong! Shall we give up attacking their positions? ”

Liga smiled and said sinisterly: "Chief, when we gathered the warriors of all departments in the morning, we collected more than 100 Chinese women who were still alive by the way, so it is better to let these Chinese women be in front and our warriors in the back, and then ...... Hey! ”

As soon as he heard Ligati's construction, Aquinaldo was overjoyed, "Liga, you have a good idea!" If you capture the garrison of the Chinese army, let you choose 2 beautiful Chinese women first! ”

Subsequently, more than 100 Chinese women who were almost struggling to stand were dragged by the natives to the outside of Yang Dawa's company. The more than 100 Chinese women, all of whom were unwielded, were driven by the natives to the position north of the Dingbei Army garrison. And the natives followed behind more than 100 Chinese women, using Chinese women as hostages, blocking the front and stopping the bullets of the Dingbei Army.

Yang Dawa and the guard squad were on the north position at this time, and Hua Zi, the leader of the guard squad, saw the natives holding more than 100 naked ** women, and shouted: "Company commander, what should I do?" Those women are all Chinese! ”

Yang Dawa angrily slammed his fist on the trench, and now he didn't know what to do, if he allowed the natives to escort more than 100 Chinese women close to the position, in the face of the large number of natives, the more than 120 Dingbei officers and soldiers who lost their firepower advantage would definitely be swallowed up by the sea of aborigines, and they would not even bring a single bone slag left.

Then the more than 3,000 Chinese in the back will be slaughtered by tens of thousands of aborigines.

But just shooting like this, along with more than 100 Chinese women, Yang Dawa couldn't get over that hurdle in her heart, and the despicable behavior of the aborigines put Yang Dawa in a dilemma. (To be continued......)
