The time soon came at 1 o'clock in the morning on July 4, Jiang Hui, the commander of the logistics battalion, took the recruited migrant workers to the area 2,000 meters away from the city wall, and began to dig infantry trenches and artillery fortifications.

The laborers were working in full swing, and the guards at the head of the city immediately noticed it, and the news was reported to the governor's palace of Governor Sanders, who carefully woke him up.

Governor Sanders opened his eyes and saw the squire standing by his bedside, knowing that the squire must have something important, he frowned and said worriedly, "It can't be that person who has a problem, right?" ”

The attendant was stunned for a moment and asked, "What 'that person'?" ”

Governor Sanders said, "The man who turned us from defeat to victory." ”

The squire hurriedly said, "That man didn't have a problem, and he can help us turn defeat into victory." ”

Governor Sanders let out a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, as long as he doesn't have a problem there, I have nothing to worry about." ”

When Governor Sanders heard that the man didn't ask a question, he looked at the squire with a little displeasure in his eyes, and his tone was also full of anger, and said, "Since that man didn't ask a question, why did you wake me up?" ”

The attendant whispered, "Our city defense troops have reported that the people of the Huaxia Empire have begun to build fortifications outside the city. ”

Governor Sanders's cold sweat "brushed" out of his forehead, he lifted the quilt, turned over and got out of bed, and said in a panic: "Immediately notify the General Staff, convene an emergency meeting, all staff participate, I will change my clothes, and I will be there soon." ”

The attendant agreed, ran out and conveyed the order, and it didn't take long for Governor Sanders to change his clothes and come to the command post, because Lin Fei's troops were already in the city, so the staff officers were on standby at the command post, so the speed of the assembly was very fast, but they were all sleepy-eyed, and several of them were holding coffee, drinking while blowing cold.

Governor Sanders coughed lightly and said, "The Chinese pigs have already begun to build fortifications..."

As soon as Governor Sanders said this, the atmosphere in the room changed instantly, and the sleepy, lazy and sleepy atmosphere just now was swept away, replaced by nervousness and surprise.

It stands to reason that Lin Fei's troops were just building fortifications, not entering the city gates, and they had no reason to be so nervous, but everyone present knew how Lin Fei won the Battle of Cotabatar...... Digging tunnels, planting explosives, and blowing up the city walls in one fell swoop, so when they heard that Lin Fei's troops were building fortifications, they instantly thought that they were digging tunnels and planning to plant explosives, which was why they were so nervous.

Governor Sanders said in a deep voice: "We all know the lessons of the Battle of Cotabatar, and we must not allow the disaster of the Battle of Cotabato to be repeated. ”

The staff officers nodded one after another, and then one of the staff officers raised his hand, and Governor Sanders gave him a gesture to ask for a speech, and the staff officer said: "Your Excellency, I see that the Chinese pigs have many purposes for building fortifications, I am afraid that they do not only want to dig fortifications and plant explosives, but we must send troops to prevent them from building fortifications." ”

Governor Sanders nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, the fortifications dug by the enemy have many other functions, such as allowing artillery to fire, allowing infantry to charge, etc., so we must immediately find a way to defend. ”

Governor Sanders nodded with satisfaction and said, "Everyone's methods are very good, I'm going to implement it, let's go back first." ”

Governor Sanders asked the staff officers to go back and leave the staff officer closest to him, this staff officer was Nacolino, he was the number one thinker of Governor Sanders, and he came up with the idea of getting the Chinese soldiers to surrender.

Governor Sanders pulled Nacolino to his side and asked in a low voice, "Have you arranged everything for that person?" ”

Nacolino smiled: "Your Excellency the Governor, you can rest assured, everything is arranged, and there will be no mistakes." ”

Governor Sanders sighed lightly and said, "The pheasant may fly away without being roasted, and I am always a little unsure." ”

Nacolino smiled and said, "Your Excellency the Governor, please relax, that person has no problem, we should defend against the attack of the Chinese pigs now." ”

Governor Sanders let out a sigh of relief and said, "Immediately order Commander Comel to lead his troops into battle and drive out those migrant workers." ”

Nacolino nodded, and asked tentatively, "Then I'm going to deliver the order?" ”

Governor Sanders said, "Yes, you go and deliver the order, and after the order is delivered, we will go to the city to watch the battle together." ”

Nacolino agreed, went out to deliver the order, and then walked up to the city with Governor Sanders. The 1st Field Regiment suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Sampala, and Komal lost almost three-quarters of his men, and they returned to Manila to reunite, but after more than 20 days, the 1st Field Regiment only restocked more than 200 men.

In the army supplement, the Spaniards once again suffered a crushing defeat at the feet of Lin Fei, Lin Fei has the main field troops and garrison troops in various places, and the personnel of the garrison can be replenished into the main field force at any time, and the Spaniards do not have such an establishment, they want to replenish the army, they can only rely on recruitment, but the reputation of the army is not good, and the Spaniards have no patriotic feelings, so no one has recruited at all.

The 1st Field Regiment could not be supplemented, and the 2nd Field Regiment, the 1st City Defense Regiment, and the 2nd City Defense Regiment were no exceptions.

When Komal received the order, he led his troops to rush out, and Zhang Zhenhai's troops immediately detected it, and while they notified the other two battalions of the 6th Regiment to rush to support, they opened fire to resist the enemy, and the two sides immediately launched a fire on the open field.

The first thing Zhang Zhenhai's soldiers did after coming to the battlefield was to dig a single bunker, which was a shallow pit for individual firing in a prone manner. The soldiers of Lin Fei's troops lay down in the bunker and shot, so it was difficult for the Spaniards' bullets to hit them, and the Spaniards were in a hurry to get out of the city, and they didn't have time to dig individual bunkers, and the casualties were not small for a while.

Seeing such a battlefield situation, Comair hurriedly ordered his subordinates to retreat, and sent someone to report the attack to Governor Sanders, who frowned when he heard that the attack was blocked, thought for a moment and said: "Immediately order Commel to build a circular moat five hundred meters outside the city wall." ”

In the Battle of Cotabatar, the Spaniards built a ring moat, and Governor Sanders repeated the old trick this time, and Nacolino whispered on the side: "Your Excellency, although letting our men build a ring moat outside the city wall can defend against the enemy, this is a passive defense, and we should take the initiative to attack." ”

Governor Sanders nodded and said, "Of course I understand this truth, but looking at the situation on the battlefield just now, it is not easy to defeat the enemy army in the attack, we might as well dig the ring moat first, let the troops hide in it, and then use the ring moat as a fulcrum to attack the enemy army, even if the attack fails, we can attack them and slow down the speed of their digging trenches." ”

Nacolino's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly, and Governor Sanders looked into the distance for a while, and said to Nacolino: "Go find a marksman with a Maxim heavy machine gun, I have something to ask him." ”

The Spaniards deployed a number of Maxim heavy machine guns in the fortress of the first line of defense, and when they retreated from the first line of defense, these heavy machine guns were brought back and deployed at the head of the city, so Nacolino quickly brought a heavy machine gun shooter to the front of Governor Sanders.

Governor Sanders pointed to the crowd of people who were digging fortifications in the distance and asked, "Can our heavy machine guns hit them?" ”

The heavy machine gun shooter raised his arm, measured the distance, and said, "Report to the Governor, where they are already beyond the range of our heavy machine guns. ”

Governor Sanders' brows tightened, and he said casually: "Damn Lin Fei, it's really cunning, he actually put his troops so far away. ”

Governor Sanders muttered to Nacolino, "Well, there's nothing to see, let's go back." ”

Nacolino agreed, followed Governor Sanders down the city, and when he came to the city, Governor Sanders' face suddenly changed, and Nacolino hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with the Governor?" Did you notice something was wrong? ”

Governor Sanders pondered for a moment and said, "It's still that person's business......"

Nacolino smiled bitterly and said, "Your Excellency the Governor, I have promised you countless times......

Governor Sanders was also embarrassed, and laughed dryly, but said nothing.

In the blink of an eye, the sky brightened, Lin Fei got up from his sleep, and the attendant came over and said: "Jiang Hui, commander of the logistics battalion, Qin Xiren, commander of the engineer battalion, and Wei Zelong, commander of the second brigade, are already waiting outside, and they want to report on the trench excavation in the early hours of this morning." ”

Lin Fei smiled: "Let them come in, by the way, ask them if they have breakfast, if not, let them eat with me." ”

The attendant agreed, and when he went out to ask, he found out that the three of them were in a hurry to report the situation to Lin Fei, and none of them had breakfast, so the attendant prepared four breakfasts, and Lin Fei implemented the principle of unanimity between officers and soldiers in the army, and the officers and soldiers ate the same meal, and even Lin Fei did not have a small stove.

The four of them quickly finished eating, and Qin Xiren, the commander of the engineer battalion, said: "Your Majesty, the construction of the fortifications in the early hours of this morning was very unsmooth, and even one-tenth of the specified task was not completed. ”

Lin Fei nodded and said indifferently, "Didn't the enemy come out to attack yesterday?" It's not surprising that you didn't have a lot of tasks. ”

Jiang Hui sighed on the side and said, "Your Majesty, things are not as simple as you imagined. ”
