104 Street Fighting: Destroy the enemy
The Spanish army at the northeast gate lost its command and was reduced to a plate of scattered sand, with no resistance and could only be slaughtered by Lin Fei's troops.
Outside the city, there were also elite troops of Lin Fei's regiment, who saw the northeast city gate wide open, immediately entered the city, and then occupied the area east of the city, and encountered stubborn resistance from the Spaniards when attacking the city center, and temporarily stopped.
At this time, it was already 2 o'clock in the morning on February 8, and the soldiers of the two regiments were already very tired after fighting for several hours, so Lin Fei ordered the troops to suspend the attack and rest in place.
At this time, the Spanish army had not yet been completely retracted, and did not dare to rashly counterattack, so they stationed themselves on the front line of the city government, the governor's palace, and the command post, and at the same time gathered the army and restored the original structure.
In the Governor's Palace, Governor Barak of Cotabato had bloodshot eyes and said to Servette worriedly, "What the hell is going on tonight?" ”
Raceno finally seized an opportunity to taunt Servetus, watching Servette snicker, Servette said helplessly: "Now that I have figured it out, it should be like this, the army of the Chinese Empire blew up a section of the city wall in the south of the city, and then a small force attacked through the gap in the city wall, they first knocked down the east gate of the city, and then put a large army in. ”
"After entering the city, this army attacked the northeast gate, and fought with the main force of our army at the northeast gate, the main force of our army at the northeast gate was caught off guard, and they killed and wounded a lot, and the enemy also used some kind of explosive weapon, which we have not seen, and brought us a lot of casualties."
Raceno said lukewarmly on the side: "Honorable Spirit Fox General, are you telling the truth?" ”
Servette frowned and said angrily: "Why am I telling a lie? ”
Raceno smiled: "I only want to ask you one question, how did the army of the Huaxia Empire blow up the city walls?" ”
Governor Barak also doubted: "Yes, our city wall was just built five years ago, and the military engineers in Manila used reinforced concrete as raw materials, and the city wall is very strong, how can it be blown up?" ”
Servette said, "Lord Governor Barak, please understand that no amount of strong walls can stop the shock wave from the explosion of a large number of explosives! ”
Raceno sneered: "Then I want to ask, how did the Huaxia Empire put a large amount of explosives under the city walls?" ”
Servette hesitated for a moment and said, "There's a good chance they've dug the tunnel!" ”
Racheno smiled disdainfully: "How is that possible? There's a river just outside the south of the city, and I can't figure out how anyone can dig a tunnel out of it! ”
When Servette heard Racello's repeated questioning, he couldn't help but feel on fire in his heart, and said to Raceno viciously: "General Racheno, what do you mean by these words? ”
Racheno, laughing, said, "I just wanted to ask." ”
Governor Barak frowned when he saw the two of them, and said, "Okay, you two don't quarrel! ”
Servette glared at Racello, turned his head, Raceno smiled proudly, and stopped talking, and then Governor Barak said: "Now that the army of the Chinese Empire has occupied the eastern city, let's think about how to drive them away." ”
Raceno smiled and said, "General Servete is the supreme military commander, you should ask him about this." ”
Servette said: "I am ordering all the troops to gather their forces and wait until early tomorrow morning to go out to destroy the Huaxia Imperial army and recapture the eastern city!" ”
Governor Barak's face softened slightly, and at this moment, an attendant suddenly ran in and said to Governor Barak, "Your Excellency, a large number of rich merchants have gathered at the west gate of the city. ”
Governor Barak hurriedly asked, "What are they doing at the west gate of the city?" ”
The attendant replied, "They asked the defenders to open the gates and let them out, and they were to leave Cotabato by boat." ”
Governor Barak's face was immediately full of panic, and he said: "I can't let the rich merchants go, if the rich merchants return to Manila, they will hype that I can't beat the Chinese pigs, and my reputation will be ruined!" ”
The attendant said, "Your Excellency, you better find a way to appease them. ”
Governor Barak nodded and said, "Take me to the city hall quickly, I will speak to all the citizens with a loudspeaker." After saying this, the governor of Barak went outside, and before going out, he said to Servette and Raceno: "Please the two generals must find a way to retake the eastern city." ”
Governor Barak came to the city hall and said to all the citizens with a loudspeaker: "Citizens, the defeat of our Spanish Empire is only temporary, our Imperial army is regrouping, and a counteroffensive will be launched as soon as it is dawn. ”
Governor Barak's loudspeaker addressed the whole city, so Lin Fei in the east of the city also heard Governor Barak's words, and these words crossed Lin Fei's mind like a bolt of lightning!
Lin Fei immediately called Niu Dalong and Niu Dahu and asked, "How is the situation of the troops?" Can you continue to fight? ”
Niu Dalong and Niu Dahu said one after another: "The veterans are nothing, the recruits have not experienced a big battle, they have not rested for a long time, and they are a little out of energy." ”
Lin Fei gritted his teeth and said, "Immediately order the troops, cancel the original rest plan, and continue to attack the Spanish Governor's Mansion and the municipal government." ”
Niu Dalong was stunned for a moment and said, "But didn't you just give the order to rest?" Why did the order suddenly change? ”
Lin Fei said: "I just heard from Governor Barak that the Spanish army is regrouping, which means that they are now in a chaotic formation, and it is a good opportunity for us to attack, and when the Spaniards are ready tomorrow morning, we will not be able to fight!" ”
Niu Dalong hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm afraid the recruits are ......."
Lin Fei frowned and said, "Ci is not in charge of the soldiers!" Now is not the time to think so much, order the troops, attack on all fronts, and take the governor's palace for me tomorrow morning, if you can't take it, all the officers above the company will go to the farm to feed the pigs! ”
Niu Dalong and Niu Dahu were provoked by Lin Fei like this, and suddenly a wave of blood swelled up, and they said loudly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, we will let you sit on the throne of the Governor of Barak as soon as it is dawn." ”
Niu Dalong and Niu Dahu immediately led the troops to dispatch, Lin Fei had already made a plan for entering the city before, the main combat objectives of the urban war were the commanding heights in the city, important political institutions, important industrial institutions, etc., the city government and the governor's palace are the tallest buildings in the city, and the city government and the governor's palace are still the symbols of the Spanish rule of the Cotabato, and the victory here is to announce that the Chinese Empire has conquered Cotabatar!
Therefore, in Lin Fei's plan for entering the city, Niu Dalong led two battalions of the first regiment to attack the city government, Niu Dahu led two battalions of the second regiment to attack the governor's mansion, and the remaining two battalions were behind the four battalions, on the one hand, they were flanking the main attacking force, and on the other hand, they served as reserves.
The two regiments launched an attack on the governor's palace and the city government, and Lin Fei specially trained the soldiers in street fighting, during which Lin Fei told the soldiers not to walk on the street when attacking the building, but to enter through the door of the building, as it would be easy to be killed or injured by enemy fire.
The best thing to do is to use explosives to open a hole in the wall, then throw the grenade into it, and then rush inside when the people inside are almost enough.
The soldiers of Lin Fei's troops all used this method of fighting, when they advanced to the governor's palace and the city government, they all blew holes in the house, and then threw grenades into it, and the Spaniards inside were killed in an instant, where have the Spaniards seen such a cunning tactic, and soon more than a dozen peripheral buildings fell into the hands of Lin Fei's troops.
Governor Barak hurriedly asked Servette to order the troops to launch a counteroffensive, and the Spanish army rushed to the building like a tide, trying to take it back, but they didn't know how to blow holes in the wall and advance, so they rushed to the front of the building in a daze, which just gave Lin Fei's troops the opportunity to develop their firepower.
The battle was extremely fierce, and the bullet consumption of Lin Fei's subordinates was also very great, and the Chinese in the city helped a lot at this time, at this time they were very different from the Chinese in Wuduan City, when Lin Fei defeated Wuduan City, the Chinese in the city did not believe that the Chinese could win against the Spaniards, and they did not dare to come over to help Lin Fei after Lin Fei led the troops into the city.
In Cotabatar, the oppressed Chinese heard about the Wuduan City incident, and were greatly encouraged, knowing that the Chinese Empire was the power of the Chinese and could win against the Spaniards, so they saw Lin Fei's troops entering the city, and came to transport ammunition for Lin Fei's subordinates.
On the other hand, the Spaniards on the other side wanted to run for their lives quickly, fleeing as far as possible, no one helped the Spanish army at all, and the main ammunition depot had fallen into Lin Fei's hands, and many troops ran out of bullets but did not replenish them.
The Spaniards had no ammunition and had to retreat, and Lin Fei's troops, seeing their opponents retreating, ordered to continue their attacks on the Doge's Palace and the city government.
At 4 o'clock in the morning, the advance of Lin Fei's troops approached the Governor's Palace, and the bullets shattered the glass of the Governor's Palace.
Servette went to the command post in the center of the city at this time, and only Raceno and Governor Barak were left in the governor's palace, and Governor Barak was completely panicked at this time, and said to Racello: "What should I do now?" ”
Raceno looked at the fire outside the window, listened to the sound of bullets, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid there is only one way to retreat." ”
