Chapter 877 Manzanillo at night

The gunfire of Parma Heavy Bolt did not last long, and in less than an hour, it was completely silent.

At this time, the day dawned, the awakened Cubans and those freed slaves took to the streets, looking at these familiar and unfamiliar faces, looking at the steel guns they carried, listening to the impassioned speeches on the streets, their blood boiled, and men and women from their teens to thirties and forties joined the Cuban independence army that dared to fight.

Although they can't immediately participate in the battle, with a little training, they can naturally pick up guns and fight for freedom. They hated the colonizers, they hated the Yankees. They want to get back to their land, they want to rise up for freedom.

For these people who want to fight, the Huya fighters will not let go of any of them, and they will take all the orders, of course, they will not show their faces, and all of them will be taken by the leaders of the independence army here, the indigenous people of Cuba. It's just that these people are all trained by Huya.

They, with the exception of one who had been left behind as the behind-the-scenes leader, had all left, and when the gunfire was sparse, they restored the phone and drove the truck towards Manzanillo. They want to get in before they get the information, and control the communication there. There were nearly 400 American troops there, and no less than 300 armed forces.

They may not be able to eat it easily, but as long as the news here is blocked enough, it is still easy to sneak into those important departments.

The overall quality of the advance army is stronger than that of the lazy US military, which has not experienced war for a long time, and Huya is an elite, although it cannot catch up with the special forces of later generations, but it is the king here.

Dealing with ordinary soldiers, let alone Nuo City, even if they are concentrated, as long as it is not an artillery covered attack, it is also a dish in the hands of Huya.

At this time. The small places around Bayamo were also quietly taken, just waiting for the dawn of darkness to attack Bayamo at night.

The same is true of Priasoriano, a seemingly quiet plantation, a seemingly quiet mountain forest, but a pair of eyes that are hidden. They're ready to clean up. Blocked the road to the outside of the place, ready to attack at any time.

At this time, Dong Ku and his team had arrived in San Diego in a submarine, lurking in the city of Santiago, ready to meet the attacking troops.

At this time, the puppet regime of the Batista military dictatorship was actively preparing to throw itself into the arms of Roosevelt and make Cuba another continent for the United States. Not only did he give the United States two bases under the concession, but he also openly stationed US troops in major cities on the pretext of training.

Although he is only a chief of staff to control the puppet regime in Cuba, the Cubans know it. He was a lackey of the colonizers, and his brutal killing of Cuban patriots and the military suppression of those who opposed him had made the Cuban people unbearable.

But the American forces are there, and they are powerless to resist. It was Dong Ku who gave them the opportunity for independence and freedom, how could the Cubans miss it?

There will be at least 3,000 people around Santiago, and they are holding the 38 big covers. There are plenty of bullets, just hit Santiago. The battle with Batasta is emboldened, and there is enough place to maneuver, a base to advance north.

But San Diego is not going to attack, it's a harbor, there are American warships, and there are more than a thousand troops stationed there. There are more than 5,000 local troops on the rack, so it is time to attack when the troops are dispatched here.

Turn the tiger away from the mountain. Then it has to be Manzani. It was also a seaport, and there was no room for error, and once the warships left Santiago for reinforcements, it was time to attack Santiago.

As long as Santiago and Manzanillo are controlled, the three 5,000-ton freighters roaming the Caribbean will unload enough anti-aircraft guns and 200 caliber shore defense guns. These were enough to withstand the coastal attacks of the US military, forcing them to land from the back and collide on the land route. However, in the early stage, in addition to providing weapons and ammunition, the United States could not brazenly dispatch a large army. After all, the puppet regime is ostensibly independent.

It's getting dark. Over the course of a day, the message blockade was quite successful. Those who rushed to both places were secretly killed or detained, and phone calls were made, so no one realized that the fire was coming.

Seeing that night began to fall, several small towns and those manors near Manzanillo were quickly taken, there was no gunshot, all semi-automatic sniping, only in the house will be solved with daggers and throwing knives, all the way is bloody, but extremely quiet, occupy one place to control one place, and thousands of troops have touched from several directions.

At this time, the population of Manzanillo was about 60,000 or 70,000, and the urban area was not much, about 20,000, or less. However, it is very prosperous, the port is excellent, there are tobacco and sugar cane plantations nearby, and sugar processing and tobacco processing have come into being, so that the environment here has attracted many people from all over the world.

The leader of the attack on Manzanillo was Han Lie, the captain of the second team of the Huya Expedition, who was in the port of Manzanillo at this time, and he was in charge of controlling the warships here, two coastal defense ships and an American corvette.

The team had already put on the water and went down to the sea and touched the three boats. There weren't many people on it, and most of the crew was on the docks. So, there is no pressure to attack.

Han Lie didn't get on the ship, he was relieved of the team's ability to branch the factory, ten or twenty people, if the two of them couldn't figure it out, they wouldn't be Huya warriors. His target is the barracks here, which is full of American troops, with a total of about 300 people, and with the crew scattered on the docks, there are more than 500 American troops here, which is a force that cannot be underestimated.

"One group captures that machine-gun bunker!"

"The two groups occupy the watchtower on the south side, pay attention to supporting each other!"

He gave orders one after another, divided the thirty men into three groups, and he personally led ten people to attack the barracks.

It was a crazy move, twenty times their own enemy, they attacked with only ten men, but it was definitely not arrogant.

As the team dispersed quickly, he led the rest of the men to the harbor barracks.

In the dark, in the light, the American soldiers leisurely hugged the women who sold meat and drank wine, preparing for the most difficult evening exercise.

In the watchtower, the American troops in the bunker were also loose and abnormal. They are accustomed to the feeling that the power of aircraft and artillery can deter everything, there are warships, there are political axes or puppet governments here, and their safety is absolutely guaranteed. Besides, who's going to attack here? The warships here are alive, and once the guns are fired, no one can stop them.

Han Lie arrived near the barracks and disappeared into the darkness, and in the headset, he asked in a low voice, "Are the groups in place?" ”

"One group in place!"

"Two groups in place!"

"A squad is in place......

The sound of the squads in place sounded, and the targets of each unit had all been brought under control, and the only thing that was not under control was the wharf, which was too empty and the cargo vehicles were too large and complicated, and it was not something that three or five people could control.

Hearing the sound of being in position, Han Lie contacted the troops outside again to see if they had arrived at the position, and soon, the information he got was that the three attacking troops had arrived at the position and could launch an attack at any time.

Inside the battleship, several dark shadows slowly climbed onto the battleship with magnetic climbers, and then disappeared into the dim light.

Time ticked on, and all the troops outside were in place, firmly besieging Manzanillo, but the telephone lines were not cut, but the various intersections were tightly controlled.

Han Lie stared at the barracks not far away, not in a hurry or impatient. He was waiting for news from the battleship, waiting for a signal from there that he could act.

After more than half an hour, Han Lie heard the first signal, one coastal frigate had been controlled, and in the following few minutes, another was also controlled. He waited patiently for ten minutes, and at nine o'clock, finally, the corvette was controlled.

When Han Lie received the news, he immediately ordered in his headset: "Operation Seawolf!" ”

With his order, several submarines slowly emerged from the water close to the battleship, and then the hatch opened, and the figures quickly ran up the rope ladder to the battleship, and then took their places. The anti-aircraft machine guns and heavy machine guns on the battleship were all aimed at the pier, and the anti-aircraft guns also lowered their altitude and went straight to the pier. But the main and secondary guns did not move, did not ignite, and did not intend to destroy the facilities here with artillery bombardment.

Everything was ready in just a dozen minutes, and then, Han Lie gave the order to act.

With his order, the team members who had already lurked near the target entered the target's location like cheetahs, and the bloody hunt began.

Where did those lazy American GIs think of the coming of the killing gods? Some drink slowly, some drink heavily, and some are talking about life with beautiful women, no. It's a living person. They were unrelenting in the sudden attack, and in just a few minutes, several locations were cleared, leaving the docks alone.

After receiving that all the points were cleared, Han Lie ordered: "Attack!" ”

After giving the order, he threw the hand that he had prepared in his hand to the door of the barracks, and then shot the Browning in his hand. The fighters, who were preparing to block the attack, quickly retreated, and in the sound of bombardments, left the vicinity of the barracks and retreated to the outside of the dock.

The loud bang blew up the guards at the gate into the air, and also made the American troops in the barracks stunned, and they didn't react until the firelight disappeared, so the barracks and the dock were immediately chaotic.

The sound of running and shouting kept ringing out. One by one, the GIs grabbed their guns and began to assemble. The crew and soldiers wandering around the dock ran to their respective posts, knowing that this was not an accident, but an enemy attack.

The pastimeists were also panicked, and they ran to what they thought was safe. The docks are in chaos.

In the bars around the docks, figures rushed out, they were the drunken GIs and the crew, they did not dare to be careless when they heard the gunshots and explosions, and the pistols with pistols rushed to their posts to get their guns. (To be continued......)
