"The firepower of those Chinese is too fierce, and our people have suffered heavy casualties! Chief, what do we do now? A black Filipino native ran to Kanu's hiding place and reported to him. Use Read, completely ad-free! Since ten o'clock, they have paid thousands of casualties so far, but they still can't reopen the defense line of the squadron. Even if the Filipino natives are not afraid of death, they are also timid under this huge casualty. If it weren't for the desperate agitation of those members of the Katipnan, these indigenous Filipinos would have collapsed long ago.

"Useless things, those Chinese are only a few dozen people. We have tens of thousands. Let them continue to charge, if we can't eliminate those Chinese, we Filipinos can't be truly independent, we must eliminate all these Chinese! Kanu roared with a grim face. The firepower of the squadron is stronger than he imagined. However, there is no way back for him. This time the riot was organized by him, and if it failed and buried the lives of so many of his compatriots, then he would not be able to account for it. Even if he is one of the leaders of the Katipunam organization, he may end up with a dead end. Therefore, he had to win. Let's travel through the novel

"Yes, Chief!" The Filipino native said quickly, ran back into the crowd, and began to mobilize. A few minutes later, those Filipino natives launched an imperfect attack, using their lives to consume the bullets of the squadron.

At this point, a cruel smile appeared on Kanu's face. He didn't care about the lives of these compatriots at all. He knew that the number of squadrons on the opposite side was not large, and if they could use up their bullets, then they would be able to win. And now, it seems that his plan is about to come true.

In a low hut not far from here, the first president of the Philippines, Emilio ? Aquino's special Mario is anxiously awaiting news. The gunfire was raging all the time, which made him anxious.

At this moment, the door of the hut was opened, and a native Filipino walked in.

"How's it going?" Mario asked anxiously.

"Your Excellency, the situation is very bad. Kanu organized almost all of his compatriots to participate in this violence*. However, the Chinese have long been prepared, their firepower is very strong, and our compatriots have suffered heavy losses. So far, there have been more than 20,000 dead and wounded! The visitor replied with a sad face.

"Bang!" Mario punched the table in front of him and scolded fiercely, "Damn Kanu, he's sending our compatriots to death!" I have to stop him! With that, Mario left the house, trying to stop Kanu's action to send the Filipino natives to death.

"Whew!" Suddenly, a shrill whistling sound sounded in the sky.

"Damn, it's shelling. The Chinese began shelling the ghetto. These damned Chinese, they even disregard other innocent people, wantonly kill ah! Mario fell to the ground and cursed viciously. He served in the army of the first republic of the Philippines, fought against the Spanish colonists, and still remembers the heavy shelling of the Spaniards.

"Boom!" A shell exploded in the street. The orange-red flames and the shock wave from the explosion destroyed half of the street. All the houses were blown up and the trees were burning. On the ground, there is a large crater with a diameter of several tens of meters.

"This is a large-caliber naval gun! These cold-blooded Chinese, they actually slaughtered our people with naval artillery! Mario's eyes were red and he was almost bleeding.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The warships anchored in the sea, according to the guidance of the Marines on land, began to carry out indiscriminate shelling of the indigenous Filipino ghetto south of Manila. Massive shells fell, streets were destroyed, houses were set on fire, and indigenous Filipinos were either buried by collapsed houses or their bones were left alone.

The indigenous Filipinos, who were attacking the lines of the Chinese Marine Corps, were stunned. In just a few minutes, their homeland was in flames, which made them almost forget about the offensive against the Chinese Marine Corps' defensive line, giving the Marines precious time to change their ammunition.

"The artillery fire of those boys in the navy is really fierce, and after such a bombardment, there are only a few Filipino natives left in the slums in the south of the city!" Seeing the indigenous Filipino settlements that had become a scourge, the platoon commander Peng Yong grinned very happily.

Kanu, one of the leaders of the Katipunam group, who was hiding in the street, was blown away by a naval shell. The members of Katipunam have also lost their leadership and become headless flies. Under the heavy shelling of the Chinese Navy, all of them were frightened, and they no longer talked about attacking the defense line of the Chinese Marine Corps.

Without the encouragement of these members of the Katipunam organization, the indigenous Filipinos also lost their courage and dispersed in a hurry. And the shelling of the Chinese navy did not stop, and it was only after destroying the entire slum in the south of the city that it stopped.

The fierce gunfire in Manila resounded throughout the night. A large number of Filipinos who attempted to storm the Chinese shops and residential areas were killed by the Chinese Marines, who were on the lookout for battle. The streets are littered with the bodies of these indigenous Filipinos. It wasn't until dawn that the gunfire stopped. However, the entire city of Manila has already been bleeding. Even the air was filled with the smell of blood.

"How's it going?" Li Haitao, who stayed up all night, asked with red eyes.

"Chief of Staff, the violence of the Filipinos is over. According to our preliminary count, we killed at least 50,000 people that night. And that's not even counting the slums in the south of the city. It has been completely destroyed by naval artillery, and there must have been many Filipino natives who died. Wu Haibin said. Let's travel through the novel

"Let people go to Tang Xi and ask them to organize people to clean up these corpses, pull them all out of the city, dig a big pit and bury them. In addition, the Marines continued to operate to eliminate the Manilans in the city. Last night's battle was very fierce, and there must have been quite a few indigenous Filipinos who saw that we were heavily defended and took the opportunity to slip away. Again, it's better to kill three thousand by mistake than let one go. We want to scare these Filipino natives into killing them, so that they will be afraid as soon as they arrive at the Chinese, and they will not dare to commit violence again*! Li Haitao said firmly. He didn't know that because of his order, the Filipino natives in Manila City were completely devastated, and more than half of the young and middle-aged Filipino aboriginal men were shot for rebellion, and many of them were directly tied up and transported back to China. Later, these indigenous Filipinos can be found in major construction sites and mines in China. Subsequently, the suppression of the resistance forces in the Philippines caused huge losses to the indigenous Filipinos, and under the bloody suppression of the squadron, these Filipinos suffered heavy casualties. And the Chinese have really gained a firm foothold in this land.

The Chinese in Manila spent the night trembling. When they woke up the next morning, they found the streets outside full of Filipino corpses. This made these kind-hearted Chinese people choke with fright, but then, they cheered.

At the same time, a large number of squadrons rushed into the homes of the Filipino natives, arrested those Filipino natives one by one, identified them a little, and took them away immediately if they were suspected of participating in the last night's riot*. Those who dare to resist will be shot directly. This frightened the Filipino natives in Manila, and those Filipino women and children cried even more and looked very pitiful.

However, the soldiers of the Chinese Marine Corps are all hard-hearted. If they face their own compatriots, they may be soft-hearted, but in the face of these Filipino natives, no one has this leisure. The idea that "those who are not in our race must have different hearts" has been instilled in the marrow of the army after a long period of indoctrination by the instructors of the army. As long as it is beneficial to the whole nation, even if it is infamous, they are willing to do it.

Soon, the Chinese in Manila were mobilized, and they were organized by business associations to carry the slain Filipino natives to horse-drawn carts or ox-carts, and to bury them in deep pits dug outside the city. Then, clean the streets of the city.

The work took three days to complete, and by this time, the number of Filipinos in Manila had dropped by half. And the rest are mostly old people and children, even if they are very angry with the Chinese, they can't afford to make any waves. Even, in order to survive, they had to rely on the Chinese in the city, and naturally they could no longer pose a threat to the Chinese.

The Chinese in Manila were very happy. It was the first time in hundreds of years that they straightened their backs in Manila, and it was also the first time they felt the strength and warmth of the empire. This also led to a sharp increase in their sense of identification with the empire. When Li Haitao announced that he would recruit a security team of 10,000 people, the Chinese children enthusiastically participated. They all know that only by mastering the barrel of a gun can they protect their families.

On May 5, the 1st and 9th Brigades of the Chinese Marine Corps arrived in Manila. The arrival of these two brigades greatly strengthened the defense of Manila City. Li Haitao then had extra troops sent to occupy Guam and the Mariana Islands. When two destroyers of the Chinese Navy escorted a battalion of soldiers to Guam, the Spanish governor of Guam immediately surrendered to the squadron. In less than a month, Guam and the Mariana Islands were brought under Chinese rule.
