After listening to Song Tao's words, everyone looked at him suspiciously, and said in their hearts, aren't you.? Now that the situation is so urgent, do we still have to stop the ship when we reach Manila Bay and let you go in first to reconnoitre, that would delay more time, wouldn't it be better for the fleet to go directly into Manila Bay.

Li Ming also frowned, but he knew that Song Tao would not fool around at this time, so he smiled and said, "Song Tao, tell me what you think?" ”

Song Tao walked a few steps to the huge map of Manila in front of the war room, took the baton from Li Ming's hand, pointed to Dagupan in southern Manila, and then turned his head and said to everyone: "I built a fleet to divide the troops into two routes, and the special combat team and I landed in Dagupan by landing craft, and then flew directly to Manila with the three paramotors we brought this time. ”

Zhou Cheng next to him thought for a moment and said, "If you set off now, the landing craft can arrive in Dagupan this evening, and you can fly to Manila tomorrow morning." In this way, the fleet can be the first to know about the situation in Manila and make corresponding deployments. ”

Li Ming glanced at the map, turned back to Song Tao and said, "The distance from Dagupan to Manila is estimated to be more than 200 kilometers, so the paramotor range is no problem." ”

"These three paramotors, all custom-made to military standards, can carry additional fuel tanks, but the fuel tank will occupy another seat. I've done the math, and the range is absolutely fine. After flying to Manila, it can also have a certain endurance. ”

Liu Baoguo below also raised his hand and said: "The terrain from Dagupan to Manila is flat, and the rest of the special combat team members of my construction yì take two armored vehicles to form an armored advance team. Rush to Manila overnight, and if you go by, you can reach Manila tomorrow morning. After we arrive in Manila, we can cooperate with the main fleet to clear the port of Manila and establish a landing point for the main force. ”

At this time, Ding Weiguo also stood up with a "whew" and said loudly: "The Air Department requests to set off with the team, choose a flat area after the landing of Dagupan, and take off in a delta-wing plane to provide air support for the task force. ”

Li Ming looked at Ding Weiguo, who was full of excitement, and scolded with a smile: "What are you doing with it." We're in a meeting. Don't follow the heckles. ”

Ding Weiguo stopped doing it as soon as he heard it, and he said very seriously: "Commander, what I said is true, we can build an airstrip in Dagupan." Two delta-wing aircraft can be assembled directly there. The necessary air support for Song Tao's advance team could be provided at any time. We can get into the fight as fast as we can.

I asked Song Tao's advance team to carry the navigation system and find a suitable place for the delta-wing aircraft to land near Manila, with two armored vehicles carrying ammunition and fuel. We can land in Manila for supplies and provide air support to the main forces when the fleet arrives in Manila Bay. ”

If the Air Department and the main forces arrived in Manila with the fleet, the fleet would have to land ashore before assembling the aircraft, which would waste a lot of time, and the delta-wing aircraft would not be able to take off for at least two hours.

If the Air Department lands at Dagupan, it can assemble the aircraft before Song Tao and his team fly to Manila, and once the situation in the Acropola City of Manila is critical, the two delta-wing planes that the Air Department has ready will fly over Manila as quickly as possible to provide air support. ”

Li Ming nodded and said, "Then the Air Force Department also landed in Dagupan with the task force, but I have one request, not to take off at night, this is an order!" ”

Next, Li Ming and everyone studied the battle plan for the Manila campaign, and then the captains of each ship and the commanders of each detachment went back to prepare. When they were ready, the No. 1 landing ship first lowered its two landing craft and then led the main force of the fleet towards Manila at full speed.

The two landing craft also sailed to the coast of Dagupan, located more than 240 kilometers south of Manila, the central plain of Luzon and the main grain-producing region of the Philippines.

After several hours of sailing, the two landing craft finally arrived at Daguphan Beach at midnight. They chose a sparsely populated place to land on the beachhead, and two BTR-60 armored vehicles were the first to rush to the beachhead.

Because of the urgency of time, Song Tao gave a simple explanation to Liu Baoguo and led two special combat team members to control the paramotor and set off. Liu Baoguo led the remaining special combat team members, and after simple preparations, also drove two armored vehicles to Manila with a roar.

Their task tonight was very heavy, although it was only more than 200 kilometers from Manila, but they were not familiar with this area, and they had to take into account the complicated road conditions, and they did not dare to relax in the slightest if they arrived before the fleet entered Manila Bay.

Ding Weiguo and the officers and men of the Admiralty on the two landing craft drove a few horses carrying delta-wing aircraft components, looked for a relatively flat ground nearby, and began to assemble the delta-wing aircraft as quickly as possible.

Song Tao and the others controlled the paramotor, increased their speed to the maximum, and flew towards Manila with all their might. However, the wind is very strong tonight, and the wind direction is not good, and the maximum flight speed can not be guaranteed, and it is also affected by strong winds, and it is necessary to work hard to control the paramotor to ensure normal flight.

The situation in the royal city of Manila was very critical, and He Wu led a group of pirates and Chinese to fight in the city for two days. Only at night will they have a chance to catch their breath and take a nap at the head of the city.

But He Wu didn't dare to sleep, and patrolled the city all night to prevent the night attack of the Franco. The Fran machine man has increased the number of heavy artillery pieces to more than 200, and the bombardment is constantly being carried out from morning to night. The walls of the royal city were smashed by solid cannonballs, and they were cranked and in disarray. In many places, there are even traces of cracks.

Every night, He Wu led everyone to use sandbags to plug the gate of the royal city. But during the day, the Frangi would once again use gunpowder to blow open the hole in the city gate that was full of sandbags. After several repeated explosions, yesterday's gate tower of the royal city with dozens of meters of city walls has completely collapsed.

Because there is no danger to defend here, this gap has now become a key breakthrough point for the Francos. In this place alone, nearly 100 pirates died yesterday. The Chinese young and strong died in the hundreds.

If He Wu hadn't thrown out a few gas bombs in his hand at the most critical time, Wang Cheng would have been breached yesterday. Now he has run out of gas bombs. If you want to resist the attack of the Franciscans today, it is really more difficult than ascending to the sky.

In the past few days, almost all the Chinese young people in the city have gone to the city, and yesterday at the collapsed city gate, the Chinese young people used their own flesh and blood to block the attack of the Franz army. Behind them were their parents, wives and daughters, and they knew what the consequences would be for the destruction of the city.

The pirates and Chinese children defending the city may have realized that perhaps today would be their last battle, and a sense of sadness permeated the entire royal city.

Spanish army camp outside the city. Enrique is furious. The army of nearly 10,000 kingdoms actually let these Tatars block these Tatars for two days and two nights in this big royal city, and the king's ** team also suffered nearly 1,000 casualties.

So this morning he brought all the officers in and scolded them, and gave the order to die. The royal city must be taken today. Kill all the Tatars in the city.

Enrique said to a tall officer in animal skins next to him: "Have you delivered the horses of your Polish cavalry?" ”

The tall Polish officer nodded, "Yes." Your Excellency, the first horses that you bought with the Dutch have arrived. Although there were only 200 horses, our cavalry had reached five hundred, which was enough to deal with these barbarians. ”

Enrique smiled with satisfaction: "I will let the natives attack the gap in a moment, and when their corpses cover the place, you will step on the corpses of those monkeys and kill me into the royal city, my promise will always be valid, but you should not tarnish your honor." ”

Enrique nodded, then turned to look at the Spanish officers in front of him, and said gloomily: "I will definitely break through the royal city today and kill all the Tatars in the city." The Kingdom has sent us here not only to reclaim Manila, but also to kill all the damned Muslims in Mindanao. Then defeat the huge Tatar Empire, occupy the entire island of Taiwan, and hold their merchandise management rights in the hands of the kingdom. ”

"Boom...... Boom ......"

The roar of artillery fire rang out one after another, and one after another scorching solid cannonballs roared and smashed towards the head of the royal city, especially the gap in the city gate, and countless cannonballs fell.

Countless natives also saw hope today, their faces covered with a rag dipped in clear water, their eyes were red, and they frantically pounced on the gap in the gate of the royal city.

He Wu led the pirates and the Chinese youth, and they had been waiting for it for a long time, and they even concentrated the elite of the other city walls, and most of the artillery, under this gap. A musket team of several hundred people also blew the arquebus, and waited nervously for the enemy's attack with arquebuses.

He Wu looked back at everyone, and there was a sense of despair in his heart, he shook his head violently, and shouted loudly: "Even if we die today, we will kill a few more Francois to let them know that we Chinese are not easy to bully." ”

After shouting, he used all his strength to shout like crazy: "Kill ......"

The Chinese in the back also waited for their red eyes, and shouted almost at the same time: "Kill...... Kill ......"

They were roaring almost with all their might, and the green tendons on their necks jumped up and down, and their faces were full of madness. After two days of hard fighting, the originally weak Chinese seemed to have changed under the drive of those fierce pirates around them.

At this time, the natives had already rushed to the ruins of the gap, and He Wu shouted: "Fire the cannon......"

"Boom...... Boom ......"

Dozens of large and small cannons opened fire almost simultaneously, and countless scattered bullets slashed through the huge fans in the air, fiercely sweeping towards the dense natives on the ruins of the gap.

The natives who rushed to the front were instantly swept away in pieces. This was followed by rows of musket volleys, and countless lead bullets whizzed at the natives behind.

Dozens of other cannons roared out, and countless shotguns smashed a layer of the natives' bodies. Although the fire in the city was heavy and the fire was as constant as possible, the natives were so numerous that the two sides were at a standoff in the ruins. (To be continued......)
