105 The last stronghold
Governor Barak was surprised and said, "What? Fall back? ”
Raceno said: "That's right, it's retreat!" ”
Governor Barak let out a sigh of relief and said, "I see, you want us to leave the Governor's Palace and retreat to the command post in Servette, right?" ”
Racheno frowned and said, "No! If we withdraw to the command post in Selvette, we're all finished! ”
Governor Barak was stunned for a moment and asked, "Isn't there still a lot of troops in the command post of Servet?" ”
Racello said: "The command post of Servete is just an ordinary building, not a military fortress, let alone a military fortress, and there is no difference between our governor's palace, and we will be beaten down by the army of the Chinese Empire if we go there!" Do you understand? ”
Governor Barak hurriedly asked, "Then where should we retreat?" ”
Raceno pointed to the west with his hand and said, "Withdraw from Cotabato and return to Manila by water, and then plan for the rest of the matter." ”
Governor Barak exclaimed, "Back to Manila? That would ruin my reputation! ”
Raceno said coldly: "If you don't go back to Manila, your life will be gone, fame and life, which one do you want?" ”
Governor Barak said without even thinking about it: "Of course it's life!" ”
Racello smiled: "Then why don't we retreat quickly?" I have nothing to prepare, Lord Governor, don't you hurry up and prepare your household and belongings? ”
Governor Barak hurriedly asked his wife and servants to pack up the gold and silver, when the captain of the governor's personal guard ran in and said in a loud voice: "Your Excellency, the pigs have already hit the other side of the street." ”
Governor Barak took a few steps to the window and looked at the opposite street, only to see the flash of guns everywhere, Governor Barak's courage was broken, and he said to the captain of the guard: "Hurry up and prepare the carriage, go to the west of the city, and I don't need any money or anything!" ”
The governor of Barak took care of his family's belongings, took his wife and children, and fled in a hurry, and Raceno also took his own escort and rushed to the west gate together.
Raceno and Governor Barak came to Ximen, at this time the rich Spanish merchants crowded at the gate had not yet retreated, they were too afraid of the Chinese, too afraid of the Chinese Empire, because they had exploited the blood and sweat of countless Chinese, and stole the wealth of countless Chinese, and they knew that Lin Fei would not spare them.
The garrison did not receive an order, so they did not open the gate, at this time Raceno and Governor Barak arrived, the garrison hurriedly opened the gate, Raceno and Governor Barak led their men to escape, and the rich merchants saw that Raceno and Governor Barak had fled, and they all knew that Cotabato could not hold it, so they rushed to flee outside.
The frenzy of the wealthy merchants caused more Spaniards to panic, and they threw down their belongings and fled to the city gates, some of them without even caring for their families......
The Spaniards' frenzy of escape was soon known to Lin Fei's subordinates, who reported the news to the General Staff, and the staff officer Li Tianqian said to Lin Fei: "Your Majesty, the front line has received news that a large number of Spaniards are fleeing to the port west of the city. ”
Lin Fei thought for a while and said, "Immediately send a company of troops, with Chinese with guns, to the port to stop these people." ”
Li Tianqian hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, let's not send troops to intercept and kill this group of people, right?" ”
Lin Fei said: "Tell me your reasons. ”
Li Tianqian said: "If you leave them, they will definitely make trouble in the city, just like Wuduan City, it is better to let them get out of the way, anyway, they can run the monk and can't run the temple, and the wealth is still in our hands." ”
Lin Feilang laughed loudly: "What you think makes sense, but you ignore one point, if they want to escape, they have to take a boat, and we also need a boat, how can I easily give them the boat." ”
Li Tianqian suddenly realized and said: "So that's the case, I'll go and notify the troops and send someone to the port to stop it." After Li Tianqian finished speaking, he went to send troops.
The time soon came to 5 o'clock in the morning, and Niu Dalong and Niu Dahu successively sent soldiers to report: "Your Majesty, the Governor's Mansion and the Municipal Government have been defeated!" ”
Lin Fei slapped the table heavily and said loudly: "Okay! Very good! Now there is the last stronghold of the Spaniards left in the city, that is, the headquarters where Servette is located, and order the main attacking troops of one and two regiments to surround the headquarters! Capture the Spirit Fox General alive - Servette! ”
Lin Fei knew the weight of Servete in the Spanish army, and if he could capture Servette alive, it would definitely make the Chinese Empire famous.
At 5:30 a.m., Lin Fei personally rushed to the command post of the Spanish garrison and asked Niu Dalong: "Is Servette inside?" ”
Niu Dalong said: "According to the prisoners we captured, Servette was inside before he had time to escape. ”
Lin Fei took a look at the terrain of the command post and found that it was just an ordinary building, the courtyard wall was only two meters high, and it was made of ordinary red bricks and mud, which was easy to deal with, so he said: "Send two surrendered Spaniards to persuade them to surrender." ”
Lin Fei's troops surrendered a lot of Spanish soldiers along the way, and at this time, it was naturally easy to find two people to persuade them to surrender, and the two prisoners of war walked outside the gate of the command post courtyard and shouted loudly: "Please General Servette come out and surrender, you have been surrounded by the troops of the Chinese Empire." ”
The soldiers in the courtyard hurriedly ran into the building when they heard the voice of persuasion to surrender, and said to Servetus: "The Huaxia Empire has surrounded us, and they still want you to surrender." ”
When Servetus heard the word "surrender", his face changed drastically, he slapped the table fiercely, and said angrily: "Surrender? Dream! ”
An adjutant whispered on the side: "General, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to break through." ”
Servette blushed and didn't say a word, and the adjutant on the side didn't dare to speak, and Servette said, "How many troops are there in the command post?" ”
The adjutant replied: "There are more than four hundred." ”
Selvette nodded and said, "Our only way to retreat now is to the west of the city, gather our troops, and break through to the west of the city." ”
The adjutant didn't dare to say more, nodded and walked out, gathering the remnants of the troops in the courtyard of the command post, what they didn't expect was that they were discovered by Lin Fei's sniper team as soon as they gathered in the courtyard.
After Lin Fei surrounded the command post, he ordered the sniper team to climb the nearby tall building and condescendingly observe the movement in the command post, so as soon as Servette's adjutant gathered his troops, he was discovered by the sniper team.
The sniper team immediately reported the gathering of the Spanish army in the city to Lin Fei, Lin Fei pondered for a moment, and thought to himself, Servetu's intention of assembling troops in the command post is obvious, that is, to break through, the only place to break through is the west of the city, I might as well set up an ambush halfway.
Lin Fei thought of this and asked Li Tianqian: "Is there an ambush in the west of the city?" ”
Li Tianqian shook his head and said: "The west of the city is full of low houses, and it is not easy to set up ambushes. ”
Lin Fei nodded, thinking to himself that then don't set up an ambush, and directly annihilate the Spanish army here! Lin Fei turned around and shouted, "Zhao Menggang! ”
"Here!" Zhao Menggang agreed loudly and stood in front of Lin Fei.
Lin Fei pointed to the tall building where the sniper team was located, and said loudly: "Take two artillery squads, go up and fire in the courtyard, the Spaniards are assembling, the crowd is dense, and it is conducive to killing." ”
Zhao Meng just took two artillery squads and ran up to the tall building where the sniper team was located, at this time the Spanish army had just been assembled, Servet personally picked up the rifle and said loudly: "Imperial warriors, now I will take you out and kill all the Chinese pigs outside......
Before the words fell, only a terrible whistling sound was heard in the sky, and Servette instinctively shouted "lie down", and then fell down, but the soldiers did not react, and a mortar shell fell in the crowd, and there was a loud "boom", and the dust covered the courtyard, and a group of soldiers fell.
Before Servete got up from the ground, the shells from behind came over, and Zhao Menggang fired the shells with the maximum rate of fire in order to inflict maximum damage on the Spaniards, so the shells were very dense, and the Spanish army was suddenly blown up, screaming and wailing and running around.
Seeing this scene, Servette was immediately shocked into a cold sweat, because the troops could not escape in any case, he stood up and shouted at the crowd: "Don't mess up! Don't mess around! Hold ...... steady"
But at this moment, he only felt that his back was pushed violently by a strange force, and his body flew up involuntarily, and at the same time he was pushed, he also felt something hit his back hard, and before he could understand, he fell heavily to the ground, and the place where he was hit on his back was burning and painful, and he gasped like a knife.
Servette soon understood that he had been shot, and that the shrapnel had injured his lungs, and then the adjutant ran over, picked up Servete, and ran into the house, shouting as he ran: "Medical officer, medical officer, come here!" ”
But the Spanish army has long since dispersed, how can there be a shadow of a medical officer? Servette only felt that the scene in front of him was getting more and more blurry, his head was getting heavier and heavier, and he knew that he was going to die, and before he died, he couldn't help but feel a sense of regret - he had not seen the commander of his opponent, who was he, and he was so powerful......
Servette exhaled his last breath, and the adjutant ignored his corpse and fled in a hurry, and the Spanish soldiers fled from the courtyard in disarray.
The Spanish soldiers rushed out of the command post sporadically, Lin Fei suddenly realized that they were already in a big mess, if they still had a tight organization, it would be absolutely impossible for them to rush out so casually, Lin Fei turned to the trumpeter next to him and said, "Blow the trumpet!" ”
