Commander of the U.S. Asian Squadron in Hong Kong, George ? Dewey, after receiving the domestic telegram about cooperation with Italy, frowned, although the Asian detachment he led had 5 all-steel battleships, 2 large armored cruisers and 2 fast protection cruisers, but after coming to Asia, he knew about the situation from the British.

George? Dewey knew about the purchase of the Philippines, Lin Daxin, who was called a military strongman in the Far East by various countries, and had a fleet displacement of even more than 600,000 tons, oh my God! This is really incredible, in the backward and ignorant Qing Dynasty, there is a person who has established such a powerful fleet, it can be said that among the current active warships of various countries, the displacement of Lin Daxin's fleet warships is second only to the British Navy, and in terms of displacement alone, Lin Daxin's naval fleet has become the second navy in the world.

Even if a considerable part of the battleships in Lin Daxin's fleet are ironclad battleships, but the displacement is there, and the strength is still not to be underestimated, George? Dewey even thought that even if the entire US Navy was sent to Asia, it would not necessarily be able to defeat the fleet under Lin Daxin.

And George? Dewey did not know that although Lin Daxin's 14 ironclad battleships were not made of all-steel, they had been transformed by the Dalian shipyard. Now the combat effectiveness of 14 ironclad battleships is not much weaker than that of all-steel battleships.

&n《.; George? Dewey considered that the main fleet of the Italian Navy would now come over, plus his Asian detachment, George? Dewey did not have any certainty of victory in his heart, unless his own fleet and the Italian naval fleet could surprise Lin Daxin's detachment in the Philippines first. Then have a decisive battle with the fleet of all-steel battleships under Lin Daxin, so that there is a great chance of winning this war!

So George? Dewey sent a telegram to the United States. He reported his thoughts to the US top brass and asked the US Navy to send him some newly commissioned warships to strengthen the Asian detachment, hoping that the Italian Navy fleet would maintain a covert voyage from Europe to the Philippines and not let Lin Daxin find out, and that the US Navy and the Italian Navy would work together to deal with Lin Daxin.

After the main fleet of the Italian Navy and its own fleet converged, it launched a surprise attack on Lin Daxin's detachment in the Philippines. The detachment of Lin Daxin was completely annihilated.

When this telegram was sent to the United States, the United States had just declared war with Spain, and finally the President of the United States, William ? McKinley. To George in Hong Kong? Dewey sent a telegram back, suing George? At present, the main force of the US Navy has set out to prepare for an attack on Cuba, but considering the situation in Asia, especially the strength of the fleet under Lin Daxin. William? McKinley agreed to put the domestic coastline of the United States. The last 3 Illinois-class all-steel battleships, the USS Illinois, USS Labamawi and USS Sconstar, were sent to Asia to join the Asian squadron and reinforce the George? The strength of Dewey's fleet.

Also sue sù George? Dewey, the Italians had agreed that their fleet would sail as covertly as possible, secretly reach Asia, join the American fleet, and achieve the effect of taking it by surprise.

Commander of the U.S. Asian Squadron in Hong Kong, George ? After Dewey received a telegram from the President of the United States. I felt a little stronger in my heart, and waited for the arrival of 3 all-steel battleships. The Asian Fleet under his command had 8 all-steel battleships.

George? While looking for a place near the Philippines that could be used as a supply point, Dewey sent people to contact Aguinaldo, the leader of the Philippine Liberation Organization Catipunan.

George? Dewey told Aquinaldo that although the Spanish colonizers had left the Philippines, Lin Daxin and these Chinese were new colonizers and would continue to oppress the Filipino people, so the United States was willing to help the Philippine liberation organization Katipunan expel Lin Daxin and other Chinese, so that the Philippines could establish a republic and realize the independence of the Philippines.

George? Dewey needed the troops of the Philippine Liberation Organization Katipunan to cooperate with the US army to launch an offensive in the Manila area at the appropriate time to expel the forces of Lin Daxin and other Chinese.

Aguinaldo, the leader of the Catipnanm organization, was overjoyed when he received the promise from the Americans. The representative sent by Dewey said that the Katipunan army would definitely cooperate with the US military to drive out the colonists, and that the Katipunan organization would not forget the friendship of American friends.

Although the Americans deceived Aguinaldo, the leader of Catipunan, and were ready to kick these natives away after defeating Lin Daxin, these natives of their Catipunan could not wait for the Americans' gaffes.

After Lin Daxin ordered the navy to replenish Manila with some weapons, ammunition, and other supplies by transport ship, he ordered the 15th Division of the Dingbei Army to launch an active offensive against the indigenous forces of the Katipunan organization encircling the Manila area on April 5.

The 15th Division's heavy artillery brigade's 40 155-mm heavy howitzers, and the three infantry brigades' combined 90 105-mm howitzers, together with the infantry regiment's 75-mm field artillery and 75-mm mountain guns, began to fire heavily at the various Katipunan aboriginal army concentrations around the Manila area.

The indigenous soldiers faced the call of death from the sky, and the casualties were heavy and the flesh and blood flew everywhere.

The artillery bombardment of the Dingbei Army stopped for at least half an hour, and the officers and men of the 15th Division, in battalion and company units, launched an attack outside the Manila area and began the operation to clear the Katipunan army.

There are 200,000 indigenous troops in the entire Philippine Liberation Organization (LAT) in Catipunan, and at least 100,000 troops have gathered around Manila. Even the backward firing rifles are only possessed by the more elite soldiers in the Katipnan indigenous army, which shows the combat effectiveness of this indigenous army.

When the officers and men of the 15th Division attacked, the indigenous army, which had already been blown up, gave a weak resistance to the attack of the Dingbei Army, except for a few indigenous troops, and most of the other indigenous troops could not organize any resistance at all. The entire 100,000-strong army collapsed in an instant, and the soldiers of the 15th Division changed from attacking to pursuing.

What was surprising was that the original 15,000 Filipino indigenous servant army established by Spain saw the Dingbei Army attacking the indigenous army organized by Katipunan. These indigenous servant armies actually wanted to support the indigenous army organized by Katipnan, and launched an active attack on the Dingbei army that was monitoring them.

The 15,000 Spanish indigenous servant army, Lin Daxin has not yet poured out the time to dismiss them, but at this time they jumped out and brushed up on the zài feeling. It turned out that these indigenous servants had secretly taken refuge in the Katipunan organization.

The commander of the 1533rd Regiment of the 15th Division of the Dingbei Army was in charge of monitoring the indigenous servant army, and he saw the indigenous soldiers of the indigenous servant army. Rushing out of their camp with backward weapons and attacking their own regiment, they smiled contemptuously. The regimental artillery battalion was ordered to start firing at the indigenous servant army, and the whole regiment opened fire on all light and heavy firepower.

Although Lin Daxin did not send people to collect the weapons of these indigenous servants, the weapons issued to them by the Spaniards turned out to be mainly cold weapons. Plus a small number of firing rifles. In the face of the 1533 regiment, which had strong firepower, the outcome of the outnumbered indigenous servant army can be imagined.

In the end, the 1533rd Regiment defeated 15,000 native servants, killed nearly 10,000 natives, and captured nearly 5,000 with only one regiment.

Lin Daxin shook his head contemptuously when he saw that these indigenous troops of the Philippine Liberation Organization Katipnan, who might not be called an army, were blown up by a single artillery fire. The divisions of the 15th Division were then ordered to pursue the router.

At the same time, Lin Daxin ordered the commander of the 15th Division, Xie Jun, after exterminating the natively routed army near Manila. The 15th Division advanced to the rest of Luzon and occupied the whole of Luzon.

In the past few years in the Northeast, Yang Dawa has been transferred from the 13th Division to the 15th Division, and has been promoted to the company commander of the 1st Battalion and 1st Company of the 1511th Regiment.

Before the start of the war, the soldiers of the entire 15th Division had taken a political lesson on the bullying of Filipino Chinese by the indigenous Filipinos, so the officers and men of the 15th Division were not polite to these indigenous soldiers at all, as long as the indigenous soldiers did not kneel on the ground and lay down their arms to surrender to the Dingbei Army, the officers and men of the 15th Division would constantly use bullets to greet the fleeing indigenous soldiers.

Moreover, the two sides did not understand each other, which made many indigenous soldiers lose their lives in vain.

Yang Dawa held a Type 96 rifle in her hand and fired eight consecutive shots at the fleeing indigenous routs in the distance, "Horn Horn Horn ......", emptying the magazine of an 8-round Type 96 rifle.

Yang Dawa's younger brother Yang Erwa is now the captain of the special forces brigade of the Guards Division, Yang Erwa's marksmanship has always been dominant in the entire Dingbei Army, almost reaching a state of supernatural beauty, and Yang Dawa as an elder brother, although he is not as powerful as his younger brother's marksmanship, but the accuracy is also good, 8 bullets, the indigenous rout who escaped in front of him, and 8 people fell.

Yang Dawa threw the rifle with empty bullets to Huazi, the squad leader of her guard squad, and then shouted loudly: "Brothers, chase me, don't let a native let them run!" As long as the natives do not surrender, kill them all! ”

Yang Dawa's company is a standard infantry company, equipped with heavy weapons 60 mm mortars, Type 96 heavy machine guns and Type 96 light machine guns, the weight is not heavy, a soldier can run on his back, which makes Yang Dawa's company chase very fast.

In the direction that their company was responsible for, there were at least nearly 1,500 indigenous routs, and few were able to escape from Yang Dawa's company's pursuit, nearly 1,400 aborigines fell on the way to escape, and less than 100 indigenous soldiers were captured alive and became prisoners of war of the Dingbei Army.

On the way of pursuit, some indigenous soldiers reflexively resisted the pursuing Dingbei Army, but under the blow of the light and heavy machine guns of the Dingbei Army, the counterattack of these indigenous soldiers was like a few waves in the sea, and then disappeared.

When Yang Dawa escorted less than 100 indigenous rout prisoners of war with the soldiers of the whole company, and returned to the regimental headquarters of the 1511 regiment where she was to exchange prisoners of war, she saw that the number of other prisoners of war in her regiment was not as large as that of his company!

The commander of the 1511 Regiment said to Yang Dawa: "Dawa, the commander ordered our 15th Division to start advancing to the entire Luzon and occupy the entire Luzon Island. The task given to our regiment by the division was to advance all the way north of Luzon and occupy the northernmost city of Luzon, Lasag, and the northernmost port of Apari. Other companies in the regiment were responsible for returning the indigenous POWs to Manila to replenish ammunition. Your company, as the advance force of the whole regiment, will now replenish the ammunition at the regimental headquarters, and then ignore the other towns, and set off directly to the city of Laoag and the port of Apari. Is there a problem in exterminating the natives there and occupying the city of Raag and the port of Apari? ”

Yang Dawa patted her chest and said: "Commander, don't worry, just rely on the indigenous army of the Philippines, a rabble that can't even be called an army!" We don't need to send all of our regiments, I can sweep through the northern part of Luzon with one company! ”

The commander of the 1511 regiment patted the back of Yang Dawa's head and said with a smile: "You stinky boy can still use idioms, and you know the rabble!" But do you kid know how many towns there are north of Manila, and you want to sweep the northern part of Luzon with a company of troops, and you kid is not afraid to brag and blow the sky! Alright, pack your team, replenish your ammo and rations, and let's go! ”

Yang Dawa "snapped" and saluted and said, "Yes!" Regiment commander, the 1st Company of our 1st Battalion guarantees the completion of the mission and the capture of the city of Laoag and the port of Apari! ”

Other towns on Luzon that were occupied by the indigenous forces of the Philippine Liberation Organization Katipunam could not resist the advance of the powerful Dingbei Army, and with the support and help of Chinese immigrants in these towns on Luzon, the Dingbei Army advanced quite quickly.

On April 5, the 15th Division of the Dingbei Army, under the order of Lin Daxin, began to attack the indigenous forces of the Philippine Liberation Organization Katipunan besieging the Manila area, and by April 11, in just six days, the main towns of the entire Luzon Island fell under the control of the Dingbei Army.

Subsequently, Lin Daxin ordered the Marine Division and the two infantry brigades of the 15th Division in the Manila area, with the cooperation of the Second Fleet and the Third Fleet of the Northeast Navy, to capture the other 10 largest islands in the Philippines, including Mindanao, Samar Island, and Panai Island, as well as some other important strategic islands in the Philippines.

By April 29, when the U.S. military began its assault on Santiago de Cuba, the entire Philippines was completely under Lin Daxin's hands. In the process of the occupation of the Philippines by the 15th Division and the Marine Division of the Dingbei Army, at least nearly 300,000 indigenous Filipinos lost their lives because of resistance and opposition to the Dingbei Army, but this also made the more than 1.5 million Chinese immigrants in the Philippines who were often bullied by the indigenous people become loyal supporters of Lin Daxin.

Lin Daxin also sent a telegram to Wang Yan in Shenyang, ordering the transfer of a number of administrative personnel from the four northeastern provinces and a large number of graduates from the Shenyang Government Affairs College to come to the Philippines to establish an administrative system belonging to Lin Daxin's entire Philippines.

Shenyang Government Affairs College is a government discipline set up by Lin Daxin in the Water Master School a few years ago in order to train government personnel to manage local affairs.

Lin Daxin treated the Chinese in the Philippines with the same system as the four northeastern provinces, while those indigenous people in the Philippines were subjected to a high-pressure policy by Lin Daxin.

For the natives who are willing to accept Lin Daxin's leadership, keep to themselves, and can live in peace with the Chinese, Lin Daxin is ready to absorb them into the big family of the Chinese nation with a broad mind.

For the aborigines who resisted Lin Daxin's rule, hated the Chinese, attacked the Chinese, and created chaos, Lin Daxin ordered the Dingbei Army to carry out brutal suppression, especially the backbone members of the Philippine Liberation Organization Katipunan who resisted Lin Daxin, Lin Daxin issued an order to resolutely eliminate them, and even Lin Daxin ordered Xie Jun, the commander of the 15th Division of the Dingbei Army, that he would rather kill a thousand natives by mistake than let go of a backbone of the Philippine Liberation Organization Katipunan.

Lin Daxin's order made more than 5 million indigenous people in the entire Philippines face the choice of life and death. (To be continued......)
