Chapter 488: The General Attack of the Eight-Nation Alliance
When Billy Zhou heard Li Ming's words, he was stunned for a moment, and his head was running fast for a long time. Then he said with a smile: "Leader, the company is a pure team." It made me a little tempted, to get a place overseas, to be a soil emperor, to marry a hundred and eighty girls, to have hundreds of children, how nourishing those days were. ”
"Look at your little bit of talent, if you really have this idea, then I really misjudged you."
Zhou Billy made a rare joke for a long time, his face was straight, and he said solemnly: "Leader, I have always been your soldier, how can I go out and work alone." ”
Li Ming glanced at Zhou Billy with a smile, and then said with a smile: "When the employees were selected, Wang He, Li Yukun and their old guys personally checked it, and if you came to apply, the first one had to be brushed down." You, it's just that you've been doing this for too long, I'll send you a word, in the future, you will use conspiracy externally and conspiracy internally. You can fool me with that little thought, can you hide it from those old guys? ”
Zhou Billy said with a smile: "Thank you for the leader's reminder, I'm not used to it." In fact, everything I do is for the company and the Military Commission. But since the company has such an arrangement, then I will no longer participate.
Who came up with this policy, it's really amazing. In this way, those employees with complex minds will inevitably respond to the company's policy and go overseas to start their own businesses. And in the near future, the company is bound to become united and stable, at least before the company enters the Central Plains, no one will jump out to make trouble. They are afraid that when they go out to start a business in the future, they will not get the support of the company. ”
The private relationship between Billy Zhou and Li Ming is not known to outsiders. When the company started Billy Zhou, the first person to talk to him was Li Ming. So Billy Zhou has always used this incident as an excuse, and often took the initiative to communicate with Li Ming in private. Of course, Li Ming will not reject Billy Zhou, but he will not be too affectionate. So Li Ming is the only person in the company who can make Billy Zhou let go of his words.
Commander Krasi of the European Flotilla of Eight nations today summoned the heads of the armies of various countries, the heads of various mercenary groups. and observers from the East India Company of several countries, together with a meeting of the Provisional Command of the Allied Forces.
"Gentlemen, this time our attack is going well, and although the enemy is still holding the last line of defense, they will not be able to hold out for long. It would also be a good idea to continue to drive the indigenous Luzon people to be our cannon fodder. But it's up to us to settle the battle. After a few days of attacking, everyone could see that the enemy's morale had dropped to a minimum.
The way the Orientals fought was very shameless, they dug trenches in front of the positions, laid out iron fences, they were a bunch of cowards, like rats hiding in the gutter. It is very different from the chivalrous battles of our European theater, and since they dare not fight us in a dignified decisive battle, let us sue them. What is a real battle. So I suggest that tomorrow we organize a large-scale offensive, choose a breakthrough point, concentrate superior forces and strike a fatal blow at them. ”
His words made the white skins present very excited, and they all raised their fists and roared loudly. In their opinion, this is a war that is destined to be won. They barely participated in the battle, relying on the cannon fodder natives. In six days, they have broken through the opponent's two defenses one after another. If you can concentrate superior forces. Hiding behind the native cannon fodder and suddenly launching an attack on the enemy's position, it is estimated that these timid Orientals will definitely collapse.
Fell was also very happy to hear Cracy's words, but he still asked worriedly, "General, will this cause too much damage?" Gentlemen. The capture of Manila was only the beginning, and the Far Eastern Company would definitely retaliate frantically if it lost Manila, and they would send a fleet and a large number of land forces to attack Manila. We will continue to fight hard. If we lose a lot of money now, it will affect our future battle to defend Manila. ”
Crassy smiled and said, "Sir." Don't worry, as long as our brave warriors break through the defenses of the Orientals, the rats hiding in the gutter will scatter and flee. ”
"Haha...... Haha......"
His words made the white skin present laugh out loud.
The next morning, the eight-nation coalition of European forces launched another attack, no different from the previous days, driving thousands of natives to rush forward frantically, but these natives had no intention of fighting, and each attack was just to cope with errands.
But in these two days of attack, they still almost filled the trench in front of the third line of defense. The White Skins drove the natives three times throughout the morning, followed by a lunch break for both sides, as is customary.
The positions of the Far Eastern Army also relaxed their vigilance and were preparing for lunch. Then began to face the enemy's afternoon attack. But the European coalition has organized a shock force of several thousand elite mercenaries and is preparing for action.
"Boom...... Boom ......"
Bursts of intense artillery fire suddenly began to roar, and the density of the shelling of the European coalition forces this time was quite large, and the total number of artillery pieces increased again, nearly double that of the past, and one shell after another roared and smashed into the positions in the Far East.
Moreover, they also drove up more than 20,000 Luzon natives in their hands, and for a while, the Luzon natives roared like a tidal wave and rushed to the last line of defense of the Far Eastern Army.
The opponent's attack frightened the Far Eastern Army behind the defensive line, could this group of white skins go crazy and drive up the natives like this. Song Tao, Ye Changsheng and others all came to the front line after receiving the news. Li Ming took the binoculars and looked at the more than 20,000 natives rushing in the distance, and he suddenly shouted: "Inform the troops that the other side is going to attack, and let the detachments prepare for battle." ”
Ye Changsheng thought for a while and said: "This time is different, if the main force of the white skin comes up, should we give them a hard time." ”
"Although the main fleet is about to arrive, we still have to try to hold them back, and it is best not to expose our strength until we have to. Everyone has endured it for so many days, is it still the last day? ”
Ye Changsheng nodded, then turned around and left.
It was a communications staff officer who ran over with a radio on his back, and he shouted excitedly: "Commander-in-chief, the Second Attack Fleet has arrived in the waters near Manila, and the Commander of the Fleet, Zhou Cheng, has asked for a call. ”
Li Ming took the microphone and shouted excitedly: "Old Zhou, you are finally here." All the commanders and fighters of our Luzon theater are looking forward to you. ”
"Report to the commander-in-chief, the second attack ship has been ordered to arrive, please instruct!"
"You immediately seal up Manila Bay and don't let a boat get out of Manila. The 1st Assault Fleet arrived in the waters of Luzon, and we immediately began to implement the plan and launch the Battle of Luzon. (To be continued......)
