1784. Chapter 1777: Attack on Baguio
The few guys who had been scratched on the neck screamed one after another, and the screams were terrible. Slowly, the skin began to darken, and it emitted a disgusting odor, and after a short time, pieces began to fester. Especially their faces, after the rotten flesh fell off, the white bones of the forest were exposed, and what made people's scalps even more numb was that the black blood and rotten flesh turned into pus and flowed out of the eyes, ears, and mouths, adding a thick mist, and their miserable screams were as if they were in Shura Hell.
"Bang!" The woman slammed open the door of the wooden house with her fist, and the figure rushed into the house, but after looking around, she found no one. Then he came out and threw himself at the second hut, but there was still no one, and the third, and the fourth, and the fifth...... More than a dozen houses were empty.
The woman came out of the last room and walked back, and when she came to the villager who had turned into white bones, she snorted coldly, and her body jumped forward, drawing an arc in the air, driving the mist to churn and roll.
At this time, Hitoshi and Keiji Onizuka had already retreated halfway up the mountain with their people, and their faces were blue as they watched the mist that no longer spread at the top of the mountain.
Seeing the woman come back, Yuren asked, "It's all settled?" ”
The woman shook her head: "Except for a few who are watching us, the whole village is empty, and there is no one." ”
When Onizuka Keiji heard this, his eyes suddenly turned red, as if he could drip blood: "Yaga, Yaga!" This old guy really couldn't control his feelings, and scolded angrily, "We great Japanese samurai must not die in vain like this, we must find them all and kill them all." He couldn't have imagined that the dead soldiers and retainers who had been painstakingly cultivated could not be angry and ashamed when they were killed so much by some uncivilized savages.
Yu Renyi waved his hand: "The most important thing now is to find the gold, and when we come back, we will settle accounts with them." ”
When Hito said this, Keiji Onizuka didn't dare to object, gritted his teeth and said, "Then wait for us to come back." ”
Yu Ren raised his hand and waved: "Go around!" ”
Yang Luo's group of people quietly hid in the dense forest, the breeze blew, the leaves made a soft noise, and the cries of various birds and beasts were heard from time to time in the distance, adding a gloomy atmosphere to the jungle at night.
Yang Luo put his ear on the ground, and after a while, he raised his hand and made a gesture, telling Li Tao that they were already here, everyone should not make a sound, and hide everything.
"Crunch!"
"Crunch !!"
The sound of footsteps stepping on the rotten fallen leaves came from far and near, and a group of black figures appeared in sight, and soon walked past Yang Luo and them.
Yang Luo flashed out behind a tree, and then Li Tao and they appeared one by one, and it didn't take long for the madman to come out of the dense forest.
"Boss!"
Yang Luo waved his hand: "Hang behind them, don't get too close!" ”
The madman nodded, and jumped out again, and Yang Luo led people to follow closely from a hundred meters away.
Malacaña's Palace, Aguino's office, Al roared one after another. This made Aguino's face turn pale, and Al was very unhappy with such a merciless rant in his office, but there was nothing he could do. Just an hour earlier, he had received news that the U.S. anti-terrorist unit that had assisted them in rescuing the hostages had been hit by Santos rebel fire, and all but the captain and a sergeant had been killed in the fire. Just as he was thinking about how to explain to the American master, Al came, didn't even give him a chance to speak, and just screamed at him.
Aguino looked at Al's mouth full of spittle, opened his mouth several times to speak, and finally gave up. If you don't let Al vent his anger, he will never listen to what he says. This also made Aguino feel a burst of sadness, how to say that he is also the president of a country, and he was actually scolded by an ambassador to the country. This also proves that the arrogance of the Americans did not take him seriously at all, but treated him as a well-trained dog that could call and drink. But even so, he could only listen to it. Because now that he has no way out, if he loses the support of the United States, he can fully imagine how China will retaliate against him.
Al is also anxious, as the ambassador to the Philippines, the kidnapping of American citizens here is just an accident. But he participated in the plan to rescue the hostages, and it was he who handed over the plan to China, so that the only anti-terrorist unit remaining in the Philippines assisted the Philippine military in rescuing the hostages. But now that this unit has been completely annihilated by the rebels, it is clear that they have fallen into a trap, and he has an unshirkable responsibility. Even if he had nothing to do with this matter, hundreds of American soldiers were killed, which was the biggest loss suffered by the United States since the war in Afghanistan, and it was also the deadliest military operation. The most important thing is that at such a heavy cost of casualties, the hostages were not rescued. In order to appease the people in the country, someone has to come out and carry the black pot, and that person can only be him.
Now that the end of his political life has become a foregone conclusion, he has nothing to worry about. So he came here and scolded Aguino first to get out of his anger. If it weren't for this incompetent idiot, how could I have ended up today.
Al finally got tired of scolding, and his mood was much more relaxed, and he stared at Aguino with his eyes and said, "You don't have to explain this matter to me, and there is nothing to explain." Because I'll be back in the U.S. tomorrow and I'll have a new ambassador coming. And President Ma will call you personally, you explain it to him. After saying that, he turned around and slammed the door and left.
Aguino opened his mouth wide, looking at Al's disappearing back, his face kept changing, and he was so angry in his heart. It was clear that Al had been dismissed from his post and that there would be no good fruit to eat when he returned home, so if he had known about this, why should he swallow it? Someone had already thrown Al out.
"Bang !!!"
"Whoa!!!!!!
The more Aguino thought about it, the more angry he became, he slammed his fist on the desk, and then with a stroke, all the Wen Jiàn on the desk was swept to the ground by him.
"Mr. President!" I don't know when, the Minister of Intelligence stood at the door of his office.
The furious Aguino took a deep breath and said in a stiff voice, "What's the matter?" ”
The Minister of Intelligence walked in and said, "It has been investigated that this coup was planned by Santos. ”
"What?" Aguino cried out, "How is that possible! He still doesn't believe Santos will defect.
The Minister of Intelligence put the text in his hand on his desk: "Take a look! ”
Aguino opened the text with trembling hands, only took a cursory look, his body was weak, and he leaned weakly on the back of the chair for a long time without speaking.
The intelligence minister said: "Also, those Chinese seem to have evaporated, disappeared without a trace, and have not been found until now, and it is estimated that they have fled Manila." ”
Aguino is a clever man, just like seeing his wife commit adultery with several big men at the same time, his face turned red with anger, and he roared.
"Damn Chinese pig, order the Capital Military Region to track me down immediately, I want to see people alive and corpses when I die. Even if their corpses are gnawed by wild beasts to the bone, you must bring their bones back to me. “
"Yes!" The Minister of Intelligence straightened up, "And! ”
"What else?" Aguino has become a bird of fright.
"The rebels are moving towards northern Luzon, and based on the information I have received, their target is likely to be Baguio," the intelligence minister said. ”
Aguino's head buzzed, Baguio is only more than 200 kilometers away from Manila, Baguio is the gate of Manila, if Baguio is lost, the whole Manila will be completely exposed to the eyes of the rebels, and it will be unbearable to defend it when the time comes.
Aguino calmly summoned the secretary of state and told him to immediately inform the acting chief of the general staff, Vigari, the security adviser, and the Minister of the Interior, and all the cabinet members to immediately go to the conference room of the Malacañang Palace for an emergency meeting.
The Secretary of State did not dare to slack off and walked out quickly, and in less than an hour, all the members of the Cabinet arrived at the conference room of the Malacañan Palace, yawning and sleepy-eyed. They had not been able to eat or sleep well in the past few days, and finally stabilized the situation in Manila, thinking that they could rest, but they did not expect to receive a call from the secretary of state, asking them to come over for a meeting immediately. It's almost early in the morning, and Aguino urgently convenes a meeting, and it is obvious that something has happened again, and it is a big deal. So no one dared to delay, and they all rushed over as fast as they could.
Aguino walked into the conference room and sat down, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "I just received very bad news, the rebels are moving towards northern Luzon, and their target is Baguio. ”
"Huh?" Everyone exclaimed, although they had been prepared for a long time and had deployed a large number of troops in various strategic points on Luzon Island, they were still shocked to hear the news suddenly.
"Although we have a heavy presence in various strategic locations in Luzon, Baguio is the gateway to Manila, and we must not be careless," Aguino said. ”
The security adviser said: "Immediately mobilize other garrison troops to reinforce Baguio!" ”
"No!!" Vigrari said, "If the rebels are confusing us and pretending to attack Baguio, they will send another force to attack elsewhere. If we transfer the army, will we not fall for the ruse of the rebels? ”
"Chief of General Staff Viglari, what you say makes sense, but now the situation is not optimistic, what do you say?" The security consultant said-for-tat.
Vigrari pondered for a moment and said, "I didn't expect them to take military action so quickly, but it also gives us a chance. ”
Aguino hurriedly asked, "What chance?" ”
Viglary smiled slightly: "A chance to recapture Mindanao." ”
Aguino's eyes lit up, and everyone else looked at Vigrari, and Aguino said eagerly, "Hurry up!" ”
"Now that the rebels have taken military action, no matter where they are targeting, we just have to drag the rebels here and send the Central Military Region and the Western Military Region to attack Mindanao," Vigrari said. ”
Aguino looked at the others, "What are your opinions?" ”
The others nodded in unison: "This method works!" ”
Aguino slapped his face and stood up excitedly: "Now our country is facing an unprecedented crisis, but I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to eliminate the rebels." Speaking of this, there was a pause, "Chief of General Staff Viglary, I order you, as the commander-in-chief of this operation, to capture Mindanao and destroy the rebels. ”
"Yes!" Viglary stood up abruptly, "Rest assured, Your Excellency, I will live up to your expectations." ”
