Among the army units of Haihan on the expedition to Manila, the Ministry of National Defense gathered several elite units, namely, the independent special operations battalion, the cavalry battalion, the Marine Corps, and the South China Sea Special Operations Brigade. In order to mobilize these troops from Tiannanhai and North China to participate in this operation, the Ministry of Defense also spent a lot of effort, and the time for the transfer of troops was several months, and the military expenditure invested amounted to millions of dollars, and the purpose was to add a few more weighty weights to the balance of the battle of Manila, so as to conquer the largest stronghold of the Spaniards in the Far East in one fell swoop.

As far as the commanders of the various units are concerned, this combat mission naturally has some different meanings. In the past, there was no doubt that these units were second to none in their own defense areas, and they were also the type of people who walked in front of their colleagues, but all the troops mobilized to fight in Manila this time were the elite of the army, and the secretary of defense was personally present to supervise the battle.

As the saying goes, there is no first, there is no second, which unit has the greatest military achievements in this operation, that is, it has really established its position in the Haihan army, which is much more than the past when each boasted of its own achievements. After all, in the past, the enemies and the combat environment in which each unit dealt were different, and it was difficult to distinguish which was stronger and which was weak, but this time to attack Manila City was different, everyone dealt with the same enemy, who can fight better, who is the real trump card unit, pull to the battlefield and try to know.

Although everyone is gearing up and eager to try, there are inevitably commanders among them who are not so excited about it. As the commander of the cavalry battalion, Halukun was not so satisfied with the battle plan for attacking Manila. Of course, this is not for the command to put small shoes on his troops, but the usefulness of cavalry in siege warfare is very limited. Although the cavalry battalion's armament and combat capability were not inferior to those of other units, the command would certainly not arrange for the cavalry to dismount and fight on foot when the infantry was sufficient, so his troops could probably only be used as a guard and mobile force on the periphery during siege warfare.

Seeing that the other troops received their respective combat missions, but the cavalry battalion could only be used as a peripheral strategy, and there was basically no chance to perform, Harugong was naturally not in a much better mood. Yan Chujie knew that his old friend was unhappy, so he also handed over the task of battlefield liaison to the cavalry battalion, which was barely a comforting condition.

Among the other participating troops, if you want to talk about the most experienced siege warfare, it is naturally the earliest special operations battalion of the army. This unit has been in the army since the Annam Civil War, and has attacked cities as small as one or two thousand people, as large as a fortified city like Hue Province, and in 1633 when attacking two Spanish strongholds in Taipei, it was also a special operations battalion as the main force on the battlefield, and it can be said that it knows the Spanish defense methods best.

As a result, the special operations battalion led by Qian Tiandun was also the one who became the regular force for the attack on Manila. And Takahashi Minami, who served as the battalion commander, was naturally entrusted with the important task again.
