On June 2, the prepared Nanhua Navy and Army began the final battle of the first phase of the Luzon Island operation - landing in Manila.

…

The navy was conducting its last attack before landing on Manila, and the Sixth Brigade, which had landed on the north side of Manila, was also launching an artillery bombardment on Manila.

"It's almost done, get ready to land!" Yang Tao held up his binoculars and looked at the devastated city of Manila.

"yes!"

With an order, more than a dozen small boats, several landing craft, and the cooperation of several destroyers easily arrived at the dock.

When they first came into contact with the dock, especially the landing craft, which was rough and thick-skinned, they slowed down and bumped into it. The Marine Corps skillfully pushed open the cabin and jumped onto the land.

"Be careful, Ah Hui!" Shunzi grabbed his teammate who almost fell into the water.

Because the landing craft was not driven ashore, the water at the pier was deep, and there was a gap between the pier and the ship, so our teammates almost fell in.

"Thank you, platoon leader." Ah Hui's feet were almost weak. If he fell, he might not be able to get up.

"Agent, agent!" Shunzi murmured with a comfortable expression on his face.

Sun Qiming was injured. Although he repeatedly stated that he could still fight, he was still asked to stay and recuperate. Since there were not enough officers, the platoon leader was temporarily replaced by the outstanding first squad leader Shunzi.

"Quick, class one goes to the warehouse, class two takes the commanding heights, and class three follows me to scout forward." After everyone jumped off the ship, Shunzi quickly arranged the combat mission.

The crowd was divided into three parts and began to protect the ferry, expand the landing site, conduct intelligence reconnaissance, etc.

Ah Hui is a soldier of the second squad. He quickly climbed up the cargo pile to observe the information.

"Squad leader, I didn't see the enemy..."

boom!

When the gunfire rang out, everyone immediately took cover, while Ah Hui's second squad immediately looked around to fight the enemy.

"Where is it!" Agui next to Ahui pointed to the direction Shunzi was heading, where there was a pile of rocks.

"Why are there piles of rocks here?" I thought to myself, and without stopping, I aimed at the enemy at the target and pulled the trigger.

boom!

"middle!"

"What else?" No one would believe that there was only one person here.

"Not found."

The straight child on the front end also didn't notice it, which made him very confused.

I'm here, what are you waiting for?

"That seems to be a barricade?" Shunzi calmed down and took a closer look. It was clear that the pile of rocks was a pile of rocks.

"Brother Gui, do you think that looks like a barricade?" Shunzi moved along the ditch to the side of the third squad leader.

"It looks very similar, but why was there just one gunshot?" The third squad leader looked at such a big place. If it were a barricade, it would take a dozen people to work for a long time, but there was only one gunshot. It was abnormal.

"Try it first, rifle grenade!" If you don't know the enemy's situation, projectile weapons are the best choice.

The soldier loaded the launcher on the muzzle of the gun, then ejected the bullet, loaded a blank round, and finally loaded the grenade to estimate the distance.

bump!

Boom!

······

"No response? Is there no one?" Shunzi is really confused. You build fortifications and then put one person in it?

"The first squad has passed." The third squad leader saw that the first squad that was supposed to occupy the warehouse and establish a defensive line came back.

Shunzi also saw the three people approaching the barricade.

"Class Three, attack on the right side!" Shunzi took the lead and attacked from the right side. There were scattered cargo piles on the right side, which could be used as a bunker to cover the body.

"No one!" a voice came before he got close.

Shunzi confirmed that it was the voice of his comrade before he dared to move closer.

There was a lone corpse inside the barricade, along with three rifles, a pistol, and several improvised bombs modified from cannonballs.

"Looks like they ran away. They are a bunch of cowards. Don't touch the bombs. It looks like they are indeed preparing for street fighting. Ah Hui, report the situation. Others, keep moving forward." Shunzi cursed, one person and an empty barricade, spending all the time.

I waited in line for three minutes.

However, if you see homemade bombs, you have to report it. If you change the artillery shells into bombs, the enemy's will to resist should not be low.

…

"Is this like this? Increase the firepower density again, search and attack in platoon units, attack steadily, and be careful of sneak attacks." Yang Tao tightened his fists, and even the artillery shells were changed into bombs. The enemy's will to resist cannot be underestimated!

Although the shells fired from artillery are more powerful, Spain will definitely not be able to defeat them in an artillery battle. There are more than ten South China warships in Manila Bay, and the survivability of the artillery is worrying.

Changing the artillery shells into bombs can compensate for the firepower in street fighting, set up traps, etc., and fully exert their effect. Just leave a little of the cannon.

"Should we shell again? Judging from the enemy's escape, the enemy's will to resist may not be as high as we thought." Gu Fan suggested as he saw Yang Tao's expression changing again and again.

Yang Tao thought for a moment, then immediately shook his head.

The cost of a 203mm gun barrel alone is tens of thousands, and the land support shells are cheaper, also costing 90 yuan. Before this, the navy had carried out two large-scale bombings, and the irregular bombings had continued for half a month.

, this is not cheap.

"Let the scouts explore the situation first. Even if they want to shell, they have to find the target." This is also the second reason for Yang Tao's refusal. It's just that it's expensive, but if there is no target, how can it be done indiscriminately?

As for the targets measured before the war, they have already been hit, and no one has observed the effects of the shelling. Who knows which ones to hit again?

Gu Fan nodded and did not persist. If it ended here, the gun barrel could still hold on to a large-scale live ammunition training.

…

Shunzi's mission was originally to open up the landing site and expand the landing site. The Army should rest after the handover, but they did not encounter a battle. The Army was temporarily short of manpower, so he was assigned the reconnaissance mission.

"The target is the customs building. We have to cross two streets. There will be an army company behind us. It's about half an hour away from us." Shunzi said.

"Let's set off if there are no objections. The first squad is in front, the second squad is in the middle, and the third squad is behind. We will conduct reconnaissance and advance. Change every ten minutes."

The houses on the shore are relatively European-style, at least they are brick and stone buildings. As you go further in, brick and tile buildings and wooden buildings appear. Finally, after crossing the first street, there are more and more earthen thatched houses and small sheds.

"What's going on? There's no one on the street?" Shunzi couldn't figure out the situation now. He encountered at least three barricades on the street, but no one was stationed at them.

The sporadic gunshots indicated that the Spaniards had not stopped resisting, but for some reason, they did not encounter any enemy here.

"Keep going, this street is very messy, be careful." As soon as I saw it, I was entering a slum area. Shunzi was very familiar with this kind of place. He was born in this kind of place in Shanghai.

It extends in all directions, is uneven and chaotic.

They lined up cautiously until they got close to the customs building, but still encountered no resistance.

"What's wrong, did the Spaniards escape?" Shunzi touched his head, feeling like he had been tricked.

"Platoon leader, there is another five hundred meters to the Customs Building. There is a bell tower to the east of the Customs Building. It is two hundred meters away from the Customs Building. We can go up to the bell tower to take a look first. It is the commanding height nearby. If the Spaniards want to defend, they must

Stay here." The third squad leader looked at the map and suggested.

"Okay!" Shunzi also saw the bell tower.

But what can I say? It is indeed a shanty town, extending in all directions. It took the group twenty minutes to get around here.

"Remember to summarize when you go back. When fighting in the street, you should use complex terrain to limit the enemy. The commanding heights can be blown up." Shunzi said speechlessly. The straight line was a little more than 500 meters (because it was parallel). After twenty minutes, there was still no encounter.

enemy.
